AMAZON APPS
Since Thrive is only WIFI enabled, to get the Amazon apk for download apps and stuff from Amazon, I need to download the Amazon Apk for WIFI (copy the url and send to your email then open it from your tablet). In order to download this app, I need to turn on “Unknown Sources” by putting a check mark in the little box. After that, everything will be smooth sailing, setting up the account is easy and in no time, the kids were downloading “Plants vs Zombies (1.99)” already. Kindle reader is a must for us, I downloaded a few free books for the kids to read and some educational apps. They do like games more than these apps (what do you know?).
FLASH and YOUTUBE
Well 1 of the advantages of Android tablets over iPads is the ability to play flash and most flash videos are in Youtube. I update the flash to 11 and Youtube videos played fine even with HD.
Service Station” shortcut icon and execute it. Just follow the video below.

I own a Toshiba Thrive Tablet, 10 in. Model AT100, I bought it new 3 years ago, I had it for about 9 months and it was working great! Then all of a sudden 1 day it just stopped, “Black Screen”, I did the factory reset on it finally, you know, Power Button + Volume Button and all that and wiped all data, now for the past 2 years it does power on (When Fully Charged) but it seems to be within a Loop and COMPLETELY Stuck In Boot Mode! it will not boot all the way up, I can’t even see any interface or settings at all for that matter! I have left it plugged into the power and turned on for no less than 3-4 days at a time! Nothing! Just keeps a blue, ring going around and around on the screen! I have heard before something about the firmware needing to be upgraded, but how am I supposed to do anything to it without being able to fully boot-up or find the correct build numbers and all the other info I need from going into the settings to retrieve such info? Please! Help! Iam at the end of my rope with this, but I cannot just let it go, because when I bought it I had to lease to own and I have sunk around $900.00 into it to pay it off, Plus I just Freaking Loved the Damn Thing! Please e-mail me if you can provide me with any information or idea what steps I can take. Thank You So Much For Your Time, ~marilyncovert~
Dear Marilyn,
I’ve had that kind of problem before, or until now, I don’t really know how to help you with this one. You can try to Google Thrive forum and ask the experts there. My son still has the Thrive, but he seldom uses it. It’s been so reliable. //www.thriveforums.org
