 +Those trying to use an Android device should get a new copy of Meshtastic software directly from the creators. [[https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android/releases]]The version that I got when I tried to make Meshtastic run on Kindle Fire failed to operate properly. Also, nobody tells you that you must use the Kindle Fires WiFi controls not only to give permission to turn on WiFi but also do do the link-up procedure between Meshtastic and the Meshtastic-enabled radio. On top of everything else, there will be several times when you appear to be stuck because you directed that a change be made, but the Meshtastic application locks up at that point. The only way forward is to quit the Meshtastic application, turn the radio off and then turn it back on again, and also quit and restart your Kindle fire. It's a rather frustrating process, but once you get it running it is not "full of glitches" as some critic wrote. It seems to function pretty well.
