Kindle Fire HD Silk browser debugging - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I want to ask if anybody has any idea how to activate a console or some sort of debugging tool for the Silk browsers on Kindle Fire HD. I get an error on a website exclusively on Kindle Fire's Silk browsers, and I want to see what the cause is. I've searched the web and tried certain things, but none worked. Also, the suggestions were kind of scarce.
Thanks.

Kindle Fire Screen on Laptop

How do I get my Kindle Fire screen to display on my laptop? I've seen this done in a number of Youtube vids and not sure how they do it.
Any help?
Teamviewer, Pocketcloud, etc? Search "remote desktop" and see if that helps.
It's not a mirror of your screen, but you can create a virtual Android ICS image with VirtualBox and run it on your laptop. Google "ICS VirtualBox"

[Q] New Kindle not found on PC

I'm an idiot who accidentally dropped my Kindle glass-side down in a parking lot. I went to get it replaced but my brand of Kindle Fire happened to be discontinued and I had to shell out $50 for a Kindle Fire HD. My old Kindle had already been rooted so I knew finding a way to root an HD would be a pain. He's the thing, for a while my Kindle would connect like a media device to my Windows 7 PC but now for some reason the thing doesn't crop up at all. What is wrong with my brand new Kindle Fire HD and why can't I do something as simple as connect it to my PC via usb?
Nothing wrong really. At least I guess so. Same thing happened to my friend with Windows 7 Acer laptop and brand new perfectly working Kindle Fire 2nd gen. It was some weird problem with his Windows's drivers. I connected his kindle to my laptop where the drivers were ok, rooted it, installed recovery and android and after that the kindle started working with the PC once again-most probably that happened because according to the PC the android and the kindle are different devices or maybe it was because they use different drivers(but I highly doubt this). Either case this is a fix. Another one would be to reinstall your PC. There may be another fix that will make the drivers working once again but we tried many suggestions in the net and none worked. Hope I helped
Does your kindle actually show up in the device manager?
Sorry I didn't respond faster. It turned out to be faulty drivers. Now the problem is that the Kindle is refusing to root. I keep getting "Permission Denied" when I try to execute the root. The Kindle Fire HD has really annoying software and I can't do anything I want to do. Amazon can seriously suck my grapes! (And all the grapes in my house are rotten)

Your grapes are rotten? You should probably have that checked out.
What are you using to root your device?

A method I found on YouTube. It worked until the final part when I got constant permission denial messages.
I'd link you to it but I'm a new user and am not allowed to. But I can tell you it's the first result on YouTube when you search "how to root kindle fire hd". It's by a user named reverendkjr.
(Update: My sister has a classic Kindle so I'm trading with her)

[Q] View/Control Fire from PC?

Is there a program/app out there to view the Kindle Fire screen on the PC (not control the PC from Fire, or use the kindle as 2nd monitor. Tons of ways to do that)?
I think this is about as good as you're going to get unless there is a remote desktop that works instead for tablets. I haven't seen anything though.

Hey thanks, didn't know about the android VNC app. This should work, I think. If not closer than I've gotten, so once again thanks.
Edit: Success! Mostly. Firewall on the Fire is blocking the connection even through I allowed "droid VNC server" through, but soon as that's sorted seems to work.
Edit the second: Letting root apps through worked and have to put the Fire into landscape mode so the window on the PC isn't sideways, but works.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and cricfree tv...help

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

Fire TV and Samsung UN65J6200AFXZA TV

It's my first post on here so go easy on me guys
I'm trying to mirror from my TV to my Amazon Fire TV as well as use WIFI-Direct. I've made sure they are both on the same network and the TV picks up the Fire TV. I select connect and it's sending a message to the Fire TV asking permission. After I've selected for it to be approved nothing happens and the Samsung TV in the living room (right on the other side of the wall from the Fire TV) just keeps trying to connect.
Any ideas? I've searched and searched to see what OS my TV is running and I can't find it anywhere, there are quite a few apps available so I'm not sure if its a custom version of Android or not.
I'd greatly appreciate any help or assistance anyone can give me. I've also noticed a network which is available called Direct-3F-FireTV-8b54 but have no idea of a default login or password.
