    Trouble with Solo App and Solex on Kindle Fire

    Well the controller to the tablet is wireless.... I never updated the firmware on the my Hero4 black because you have to start it manually after the firmware update. I've had no problems at all,,, even with updating to open solo.

    Trouble with Solo App and Solex on Kindle Fire

    Tips for using Solo during the eclipse (8/21/17)

    I was going to use my GoPro on a tripod and record the eclipse. I put it out in the sun camera pointing at the sun to see what the results would be.

    Do I need Solo and Solex App

    It's well worth the 30 bucks. Kelly keeps the program up to date and adds new features and improvements. I bought and used it once so far. I haven't used the bells and whistles yet, haven't had the time to play with it.

    Do I need Solo and Solex App

    I bought the Solex app, it installs on Android 4.4 and up. I put the Solo app and Solex app on the Fire OS installing the 4 APK files. I got the workaround from How to Install the Google Play Store on the Amazon Fire Tablet or Fire HD 8. I don't know for sure if will help you on the Nexus. You...
