When I bought my kindle fire hd 8.9" I installed the dolphin browser and also the flash player for ICS and all was well. I used to watch live sports via cricfree with no problems at all. I used to wait for the advert to count down and then close down any others without a hitch. Now when I try and access the webpage it gives me the normal home screen but if I select a channel it does not fully upload and 'freezes' causing me to have to re-boot the kindle. Something has definitely changed as all my other kindle owning friends have the same problem. Has anyone managed to overcome this and if so how ??
Any advice would be most gratefully received
I just bought the amazon fire tv stick a week ago when it came out in the UK everything was working fine then all of a sudden today when i went to use the youtube app and cast a video from my laptop onto the fire tv stick it wouldn't load anything and on my laptop it would play even if i press the play button it wouldn't do anything. i tried it with my android device as well it just kept saying connecting. does anyone else have this problem? or is there a way i can fix it.
thank you in advance.
Hello,
Im a big time newbie, Now that I got that out of the way. I been trying to install Kodi onto the stick but for some reason it just loops like its installing it again. I just bought my fire stick from amazon like 2 weeks ago. Help please
This is the simplest set of instructions that I have found, worked fine for me: http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-windows/
After that, if you want the Kodi icon to show up in the Recent row of the FireTV, use the Amazon Appstore (from a PC worked for me, I didn't try it from a device) to install Kodi on another Android device that's connected to the same Amazon account as your FireTV. After it's installed and synced to your account, you should be able to see the icon (the icon is there in Settings/Applications/Manage Installed Applications regardless, you just need to trick your FireTV before it will show in the Recent row).
Hey guys. Long time lurker and big fire phone fan. Right now I'm running 4.6.1 US Unlocked Fire OS on my ATT locked Fire phone. Without having to root *as I don't trust kingroot to have full unlimited access to my phone* is it possible to steam from Fire Phone to Chromecast? Not opposed to side loading gapps if required. Thanks!

Yes this is working with the gaaps even cast your screen is playing but I think the fire TV Stick is a much better product you can sideload apk and play xbmc/kodi on it
And if you Wont GApps. Patch only YouTube
Sure that Chromecast ist working? The app is working but i am not possible to get a connection to the chromecast. Any ideas?

Fire phone working with Chromecast (audio)
I bought a bunch of Fire phones when it was selling on a fire sale! They all have been working fine with side loaded Google setup files (framework, play store etc). There were some good instructions to load four Google system files. Some occasional app may say this phone is not compatible and not allow you download from the Play Store, but those individual apps will work just fine side loaded.
Anyway, the Chromecast app downloaded fine from the Play Store, but would not connect properly with my Chromecast audio device for the initial set up. It recognized the device okay, but will not finish the initial set up. I thought I was out of luck. But then I tried with a proper (non-Fire) android phone and completed the initial set up. It connected the Chromecast device with the appropriate wifi network, downloaded the updates etc. and told me it was ready to cast. After that, I tried with the Fire phone, and voila.. everything has been working just fine.
I am sure you have some non-Amazon Android device you have lying around the house, or at least borrow for a while. Just complete the initial set up with that and you should be good to go.
I have done this only with Chromecast Audio (The newer version), but I am reasonably sure the same should work just fine with the video Chromecast too.
I use Chromecast all of the time with my Fire Phone (ATT 4.6.5.) Just works great along with all of the gApps... but who knows if that will be the case as the gApps get updated over time. For ATT versions, the 4.6.5 release was great in terms of being gApps friendly. If that changes down the road, then the next best option would be Slimkat or CM11.
I fact, I have both a Fire Stick and a Chromcast on the same TV, and the phone has more Chromecast options from within apps than FireStick casting options. Overall, I prefer using the Firestick with it's physical remote, but it is not as well integrated with android apps at the moment. Hopefully more developers will start using "fling" casting, but right now my main option is sharing a stream with Allcast.
Youtube works good for me. Pandora does also. Netflix Doesn't connect for me though. I highly reccomend the fire stick...
Hi,
I have a brand new stick with Alexa remote, logged in to Prime account, network good, but it won't download and install apps. It just gives an error message about not being able to compete the purchase (this is for free apps).
Any ideas?
Same issues here, already tried a total reset! All other amazon devices work fine, just my 2gen fire tv giving me issues
