This isn't the wrong thread. He is on a kindle fire. This is the kindle fire forum. This is where he is supposed to go.
As far as an answer goes, cm7 is pretty old, so I don't know. What short of internet do you have at home?

I don't know. It sounds weird. Does this happen on other ROMs?

Yes it does. I also noted that it works with my school's wifi which is 26mbps, broadband connection, same ISP :/

Using PlayOn

1) Go to Playon http://www.playon.tv/playon
- Install the playon service on your PC
2) Configure : In the PlayOn config, you can enter your Hulu Login Info. This is helpful as it can pull from your Queue
3) Get the PlayOn App from Android Market. This is not currently avaialble in Amazon Market, so you need to port it over (plenty of instructions on the boards for this)
4) As long as you are on the same WiFi network as your PC, you will be able to stream any of the PlayOn channels including HULU
Ive got HULU up and running perfect on my Kindle Fire. I thought I would share how I did it. First off you need root, and custom recovery. Then you need to use this rom here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 which is a custom rom Based on the stock 6.2.2 release. Other than the rom being awesome it also poses as a Samsung Galaxy Tab that allows for a lot of apps that use to show as incompatible are now available. Some work, some dont. But one that does is Flash Video Browser, which is only .99 cents. I had already paid for this and was using it on my Evo 3D, and my Evo View, but it wasnt compatible with my Fire until now. I was able to install, and it works perfect. So I know this is a lot to do just to get Hulu on the Fire, but I was using this Rom for other reasons and this was just an added benefit!! Hope this helps someone.
I tried to upgrade my Audible app on my Kindle Fire (running 6.3) using the more recent APK from Google Market/Play and ended up completely breaking the Audible app.
I can't roll the upgrade back because the upgrade overwrote out the Amazon version of the APK.
Does anyone no where I can get these two APKs:
>> AudibleAndroidApplication-venezia.apk
>> AudibleForAndroid-otter-unsigned.apk
I've searched the web and called Amazon customer support and that hasn't helped.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
If got it, please tell me, thank you!
Nope -- still trying to get these APKs. Do you have access to them?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
I got the 'venezia' APK but installing it alone doesn't work. Guessing I need both. So still hoping someone will have the 'unsigned' APK.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
extracted these from the 6.3 stock rom.
Edit: helps if I actually attach them.
THANK YOU!!!

Just wondering, is there any app or Rom that let's me host a hotspot even if I don't have 3g or wifi connection? I have heard that you can do this on the S3, so can we do it on the Fire? Does it even have the necessary hardware?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
You want to use your kindle fire as a personal hotspot?
The S3 can share its Internet from its data connection.
The fire had no data connection (absent WiFi)
This not possible if I understand you correctly (which I had trouble understanding what your asking)

Wi-Fi is not absent, cellular connection such as 4g is absent. You might be able to create an ad hoc network between the fire and another device but it would be pretty pointless except for sharing GPS location from phone to kf. The kf has no network capabilities other than Wi-Fi.

That is not what saying absent WiFi means
Saying absent WiFi does not mean WiFi is absent. Two different phrases in the English language with absolutely opposite meanings
In this context it means aside from wifi

I have never heard of such an odd use for the word but I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Where did you pick up this really peculiar definition for the word "absent"??

Sounds like he wants to set up a mesh network.

Removed because this argument is rediculous and because of thepooch's post below. You are simply wrong and I refuse to continue a conversation about the English language with you.
Haha guys stick to the subject which I think is pretty much moot. As far as I know the kindle is not capable of generating it's own hotspot.

See that one I can handle, as it uses the word with its correct definition I.e. to be missing. I have just not been able to find a definition of the word that in any way resembles "aside from".
This post has indeed gotten way off topic lol

.-. I intended to say that the s3 is capable of hosting a wireless hotspot without 4g, 3g or wifi. So it's a wifi hotspot that doesn't provide Internet connection. A local connection.

I have been able to connect the kf to a cell phone that has no cellular service just to transmit GPS data for navigation software but never been able to get the kf set up as an open connection even using the same software.

I just tried on twa_priv's ROM to setup a hotspot with Wireless Tether (root required), and it did not work. So I don't think that you can setup a hotspot on the KF
Ok we use square for our business. I tried it on WiFi at home and everything worked great. The first time I tried at a show on mobile data it says no network available. All other apps and browsers work fine. I am lost as to why? I tried changing apn settings but it won't accept any. The apn area in settings is blank so I tried adding one but it won't let me. Hoping someone can help. I am on 8.4.3 rooted with go launcher.
Thanks

Are you on a custom ROM? Have you tried it on other WiFi networks.

I am not on custom Rom because none I have tried support mobile data. It works on any WiFi I have tried even my Sprint mifi just not with the att data connection.
