[Q] Minor Amazon Shop issue - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Very minor question here. I just completed rooting HD Fire 8.9 8.4.3 and everything seems to be fine except the Amazon Shop link in the bar fails to launch Shop. I keep getting an error. All the other links are fine, and it still seems registered to my account. I searched through some threads and found this mentioned twice, but didn't see any fixes. Is this just a known issue?
Thanks

Sounds like it got updated from google play, uninstall it and it should go back to the stock version, and block it from auto update in google play

Uninstall Play, or something else? I installed Play and the rest of the google apps from KF first aide.

Sorry I meant Amazon store app

Yup, that was it. I appreciate it. For anyone else, just reinstall the amazonshop.apk.

Lol it just happend me again today, I'm going to try to detach it from market using titanium backup. That should help

Amazon app store and JB 4.2

Since upgrading to JB 4.2 the Amazon app store keeps having me authenticate periodically. I assume that this is related to the JB update, but I haven't seen anyone else mention this issue. Particularly when accessing Tweetcaster Pro is when I see the issue start, but then no other app works correctly.
Just for some background, I wiped my phone yesterday with 4.1 and then installed 4.2. I have the latest version of the app store and have tried clearing cache/data, uninstalling, reinstalling. No help.
So I'd like to know if anyone else is seeing this or if it is just me.
Thanks
Probably just needs a compatibility update, same as every other app that isn't working on 4.2 right now.

Thanks. I figured that was the case. I would just be more at ease knowing I wasn't alone.
Same behaviour here after updating to 4.2. Hope Amazon is fast with a fix...
Same here - driving me freaking crazy
You may have to redownload the Appstore apk, there seems to be one with a new layout now.

It kept asking me to sign in and when I did it was saying wrong password even though I knew it was right. I only had about 3 paid apps for free that I still used so I just uninstalled them and purchased from the play store and uninstalled the amazon app store.....haven't "bought" a free app in like 3 months...the selection is getting to be crap

Sorry for you, but glad to hear it. I ended up calling them today and they hadn't heard of any issues. I suspect they know now.
I'm getting the same thing too although my login credentials actually work. The one thing I haven't checked is whether or not these logins are creating a new device authorization every time.
I completely wiped my phone before upgrading to 4.2 and Amazon App store and Verizon FiOS Mobile Remote are the only two apps with issues.
I have the same issue with Forum Runner. Every time I close the app I get signed out and need to re-login every time I open it back up. So annoying but I'm guessing its a 4.2 update thing. I've deleted it and re-downloaded it and it made no difference.

Unfortunately, I have a few FAOTD that I use frequently, so I have to keep it installed.

They explained to me that everytime you login, it creates a new device instance. They limit it at 25. I hit that mark yesterday.

I've read that in the past, but it's never been true for me. I use TubeMate from Amazon and dont need the Amazon Market installed to do so.
Having the same issue with the app store. Just got off the phone with amazon and they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix now

Ouch! I just logged in to my Amazon account and saw all the "Nexus 7 xx" devices that were registered.
Thanks for the heads up. I deregistered all the new devices.
This worked for me
From another forum I found this solution to work:
1) Delete Google Account
2) Reboot Device
3) Reactivate Google Account
4) Log on with Amazon Appstore App
All apps load and run without need to log on each time now.
I also deleted excess Amazon devices as noted above.

seems like it does not work for me.
still working for you?
Yeah it does add a new device each time... I have 7! Deleted 6 of them... still same problem.

Google Drive not working?

Is google drive working for anybody? I click on it and a dialog box comes up and says "Unfortunately, drive has stopped" I've tried uninstalling it and rebooting multiple times. Maybe it's something with a new update because it was working not that long ago
Yup
I noticed it stopped working a few weeks ago. The current version on my phone is 1.2.228.32, and I think I remember the Kindle and phone versions updated at/around the same time. At this point, I'm just waiting for the next update, hoping that it'll be fixed...

That's the version I'm running without issue.
Try clearing data and cache and then possibly reinstall.

I did try that and several reinstalls. I also tried converting it to a system app in case it needed permissions it wasn't getting, but no dice. It gives me an option to generate a bug report like any other crash, but the Play Store crashes if I try to do that ("Google Play Store has stopped") without an option to report.
It's nice to hear that you can run it though. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I've also tried clearing data and cache on the Play Store, but that's about as far as I went. Would be nice to get it running again so I can edit documents...
I found a backup I had made about 4 months ago! It's version 1.1.470.15 and it seems to be working just fine. If anyone's interested, I can send you the apk via a PM (I don't think I can post attachments yet due to my newbie-ness).

Constant Google Play Store error 927

What i have done so far is: cleared cache, uninstalled updates and then let it update on its own and then trying to update/resume downloads, factory reset. It is happening on my One and LG G pad. Anybody run across a fix or have any tips other than what I've already tried? I contacted Google and like an idiot when he asked about me being rooted i said yes. He blamed my problems on being rooted. I dont believe that is the problem since i went all the way back to stock with the same problems. Beyond frustrated.

The only one i havent tried is creating a new account. That kinda defeats the purpose and then I'll lose all my paid apps. Thanks though.

Yeah that ones kind of pointless. I think what some people say is create a new account just to update all your apps and then switch back. Maybe uninstall paid apps prior as well. And then re install once you update core apps.
To me it sounds like a google problem with your account. Does this happen when downloading new apps, when updating an already installed app, or both? Is it just paid apps or free apps too? Try to create a new google account just to see if you can successfully download a new app, or update your current apps. If it works with the new account, then the problem is google and not your phone.
Well, your not gonna believe what fixed it....I changed my password. Maybe something or someone got a hold of my password somehow and blocked the play store..thanks for all the suggestions!

I'm glad you got it worked out. That's annoying it was something so ridiculous.
Well..turns out that must have been temporary. After changing it, worked for a little while then, I had to change my password after purchasing apps twice, error out after each purchase...Google tech help is worthless.

[Q] Netflix won't complete loading

I've been using my Amazon Fire TV for about 2 weeks and love it. netflix was working fine. Today it will not complete loading anything. Just hangs there. Nothing has changed since yesterday in the setup.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Patti
I don't know if this will help or not but assuming you have already cleared data/cache I had a similar problem where Netflix would do the same thing before eventually saying to try again later or try another video.
My solution was to use a new HDMI cable. I don't know why Netflix doesn't give you a more helpful error message but such is life.
Hope this helps!

Play store download pending

Hello folks,
I am trying to update my apps from play store on my gen 1 fire tv but instead of animating the progress bar I see a message there saying download pending. This is the first time it has happened to me and I have had the play store installed since I got my fire tv.
I tried removing and reinstalling playstore and play services but got the same message.
Is anyone else facing a similar situation?

Hey, sorry for posting here but I got the exact same issue on my Xiaomi Redmi 2. Did you ever figure out how to fix this?
No unfortunately not yet.

I too have this problem and it only started recently. At first (over a year ago) you had to remove play services because when it updated it broke the playstore but you could still download apps and they would work, just not the ones that need play services (YouTube etc.). Now its doing that same thing with play services removed and market helper does nothing to remedy it.
