    3. Thanks, Dennis, Michael and Tom. I've been afraid to update to Lollipop 5 (I'm running 4.4) until all the dust settles about battery drain, etc. I'm going to try Tom's methodology to see if that works for me. Thanks again, Toby

    3. Toby, You emailed "to me" and not the group, so I'm replying here (TMG/Rootsweb), for benefit all readers. You indicated you signed up to the Second Site support group on google groups, that's great! That's the official online support location for Second Site users. Once you're there, you can use the "search" the group function, which I did using "android" as a keyword, and I saw a few discussions related to your question regarding viewing a Second Site website locally (not on the internet) on the phone. You also asked about "detailed instructions" and sorry, I have none, however, some time ago, following a review of the SS google group messages and some trial and error, I succeeded. One of the messages I found helpful came from Jim Byram, listing steps: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/ss-l/android/ss-l/sEqd _DM5vCk/5u3B9DL0RswJ. I also posted that I was unable to use the web browser to locate the "index.htm" (or similar) file to open the site, but instead used a file utility app and once I found the file and opened it, I was able to save a shortcut or favorite to it for future use. Barbara posted a method to place it as a direct launch item on the phone, so that sounds terrific too. Also, I don't use Apple interfaces, Parallels, etc, so I have no suggestions there.
