I love kindle fire! best tablet $200 ! love LCD screen 1024x600 IPS!!!
But .. need to put an external keyboard to use in college in order to enter text! future can be no such enhancement like the ipad have?
Not yet. The best option is likely based on activating the bluetooth capability that appears to be on the motherboard. Developers are looking at that but are focusing on the ICS alpha.

When i am at home i use the app wifikeyboard.

Would this work?
I have a Galaxy S2, which does support my bluetooth keyboard.
Could I use wifi keyboard with the phone and the kindle fire, type on the phone via bluetooth, then wifikeyboard copies it to the kindle fire?
Ive a BT keyboard on the way, so I will test it!
It has been stated multiple times in the dev forum that there is no Bluetooth in the fire.

Hashcode did mention the possibility of adding 3rd party USB Bluetooth support to 3.0 once it is stable.

Yes, I never said I was going to use bluetooth.
The bluetooth keyboard connects to my samsung galaxy s2.
I run wifikeyboard on the kindle fire and galaxy s2.
I type with the bluetooth keyboard, it copies onto the galaxy, then appears on the fire.
Its a long way round, but at least I can use an external device when I need to do a lot of typing.

Just use OTG cable
Just do what I did: buy an OTG usb cable from amazon and then use Hashcode's latest 3.0 kernel. It will work like a charm!

With a keyboard such as this?
http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Keybo...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1335741814&sr=1-13
Actually I believe USB 2.0 not supported at this time as it requires too much power. But any regular USB keyboard should work provided you use an OTG adapter. Also flash drives and such should work as well on hash's kernel!

revival
def a thread to revive at this point, be nice to start posting some stats on who's getting what working with product info 'n such.
from Hashcode's 3.0 (ish) thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25505053&postcount=699
(if that link doesn't come out, just looky at post 699 of his kernal thread)
I just ordered an OTG cable from Amazon
... being shipped from China ... might be a while.
Might not even work, then I'm gonna get a keyboard, possibly
HDE 7" Tablet Stand with USB Keyboard - Black Faux Leather Carrying Case by PingTab ... from Amazon.
might work, or not. the powered hub seems like a novel idea, seeing as the KF will drain battery quick without a powered hub. I could mod a single in/out hub, but I don't fabricate much, so it'll be messy and kill time. murder. anyone know about one of these powered hubs for a single device already made up? hmmm

I am using that keyboard to type this, it works great. A powered hub is not necessary, just a cheap ~$4 OTG cable. I plugged it in on boot and had no issues. I have only had the case/keyboard for an hour now. I'll report back with any issues if any pop up.

I just bought that keyboard and an OTG cable
Yea I like that case. I got a good question. Is there an OTG cable that would let me also keep charging the kindle. Basicly Male Micro USB to Female USB and Female Micro USB.
Does anyone one know to install the kernal? I cant find a tutorial
Just install Hashcode's latest ROM. It has the latest kernel.
Kindle fire keyboard?

SEJ: I would love to do the same, I assume this is still working for you?
A couple of other questions. Have you rooted the operating system or are you using the original Kindle Fire OS? Did you need to install a kernal to get it to work? In reading consumer comments from kindle owners on the Amazon.com webpage, it sounds like this keyboard did not work for many people; but I'm wondering if you had to do something different on the software side (or were they all not bright enough to buy the OTG cable )?
Thanks!

I have this keyboard too.
You do have to be rooted with a custom ROM and Kernel. Just root with the latest Kindle Fire Utility and it will install the latest TWRP Recovery. Then just flash(what I recommend) Hashcode's latest ROM because it has his latest Kernel with OTG support. In other words the keyboard will work.
Make sure you buy an OTG cable by the way...
I have rooted my kindle fire and put both aokp ics rom and jandycane rom at different times on my kindle fire. I'm using an OTG cable. I've been able to get my usb keyboard working on my kindle, only it's very very spotty; I've seen people using mouses with their rooted kindles, but mine does not work at all; and as for putting in usb drives, that has yet to work, though I've read other posts and people have said it works.
My question: is there a way to get the connection working better? I'm using the Logitech MK320 mouse keyboard combo with eforCity OTG cable. Thanks in advance for all who respond.

Most USB devices require more amperage to run properly than the kindle fire will provide, this is why for standard USB keyboards, mice, and flash drives it is best to use an externally powered USB hub which will provide the extra juice, look around a little bit there is plenty of information regarding this in the forums if you take the time to search. Fyi even with the powered hub some devices just will not work with the kf.

Same as what jlshady00 said:
Silly Amazon doesn't have the required 5 volts (or whatever unit of measurement, I forget), unlike most phones and other tablets, so you should use a powered hub. You will need Stick Mount https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ickmount&hl=en to be able to see flash drives. I don't know about mice and keyboards. I assume the same thing.

Thanks for your input. I've searched through the pages and had seen that it could potentially require a powered hub. Then there were pages that said it would require hash's kernel 3.0, and many other different things. I mostly was wondering if I was doing anything wrong because other people have said they've got keyboards working. Especially since my keyboard would work for a while; in fact, I was able to write about three sentences on my kf before it wouldn't recognize the keyboard, so I thought maybe there was a better way to do it or I was missing a step. To be honest, I find it more efficient to write down specifically what you have and what you've done, and all the specific information relating to your problem, then ask. It's more direct and less confusing. If nothing else, getting a response is reassuring.
Yeah, the new roms such as jandycane come with hash's latest kernel included so if the rom has been updated within the past month or so you should be good, but check the info on the thread as it should be listed.

So if I have the latest Jandycane on my KF, what keyboard/hub/whatever I need would you recommend me getting? I would love to be able to use a case with a built in keyboard but barring that anything would be awesome.

But if you have a case and keyboard already I would recommend getting a powered Usb hub. I was reluctant to get one at first, but like everyone who's posted on the subject, tit is currently the only other way to get a usb keyboard working properly. Thanks to everyone who helped point me in the right direction on this.
My mother got my niece a Kindle fire 2 for Christmas. I wanted to root it and turn it into a android based device. I rooted it successfully but when I tried to get it into recovery it just shutdown on me. I got to the screen with the triangle and whatever I forgot but after, it just won't come on.
I am an experience person at rooting/flashing devices I just didn't really realize it was a kindle fire 2 ( I really don't keep up with kindle products). I ordered as factory usb cable which was almost a month ago, but when I do get this cable how do I get my niece kindle to boot back up or can it be done without that cable.
Thanks for the help in advance.
I haven't done it myself, but you should be able to get into fastball mode and then push certain partitions back onto the KF 2. There is a thread for restoring a device in this forum, which may help if you didn't backup the partitions as soon as you rooted.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you OP, but I've gotten a factory cable. Not that it really helped though, fastboot doesn't find my device when plugged in with the factory cable. I suspect it's a driver issue, but I can't fix that right now as I'm away from my normal computer.
Also, someone advised me in a different thread to take off the back cover and short the USB, just like you would with a bricked KF1. That didn't work either.
I'm going to put some more time into fixing my device after this weekend.
Ok so i order my factory cable almost been a month now. I got really tired of waiting on it.
So last night i decided to make my own factory cable. The instructions looked simple, connect a wire from pin 1 to pin 4. I did that and my device was still not going into fastboot. Is there some type of program that i am suppose to use with the factory cable. If no programs then maybe i didnt build the cable right.
Then I will just have to wait till I recieve my factory boot cable and try again.
i dont no if this will work for you guys but i got out of a boot loop caused by me freezing the home launcher.Like you my kindle couldn't be seen by adb so after hours of messing about i downloaded super one click root using this programe to install the drivers i then did adb devices and it was back online.So from there i used the KFU to root as this boots the KF to that screen which askes you to save or not save but from that screen i was able to pull down the notifications bar and go to more from there i could hit the star button and get to silk i downloaded titanium backup and unfroze the home launcher rebooted and my kindle was back alive.Just one thing to note after doing this my kf couldnt be seen by the pc as a mass storage device you need to uninstall the drivers super one click installed and all is well hope this helps.

Where did you get the cable? I would check out Skorpn. He makes them here at XDA and is really good about quality and shipping. If you live in the US it shouldn't take more than a week I assume to get the cable. Ordering one from him after work
so is skorpn a user or a website, if he is a user give me his contact info
updated: no website
Here, he is a user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=500006
I got my factory cable from him, took 9 days to be shipped over here in the Netherlands. Would really recommend.
I been trying to make this factory fastboot cable for days now. Do I suppose to modify a motorola usb cable because right now I am using a samsung usb cable. I know my soldering aint that bad, never had any problems soldering anything else.
Any help, I will be greatly thankful.

Mmm not very knowledgeable on this topic, but I succesfully built my own fastboot cable yesterday evening and, from what I understood, just any usb cable would do. I mean, provided it has a usb plug on one side and a micro-usb on the other
I just took the first cable that came to my hand, carefully cut open the micro-usb plug, and soldered points 1 and 4 visible on the enclosed image (upper figure, and do not link 4 and 5 as is displayed, I think this is for OTG). It was a work of patience as the plug was really small, but I finally managed it!
Good luck with yours!
Finally got my factory cable and guess what. Kindle still won't come on or even go into fastboot. I believe the one I made was a good one.
Question is still in the air, is there some kind of software i suppose to run for fastboot to work or does the kindle suppose to go into fastboot as soon as I plug it into the pc.

It is supposed to boot up when connected to comp and kf.do u think battery is dead? When u say wont come on do you mean screen backlight wont even turn on. If not then try turning off kf plug fb cable into comp then plug into kf. It should boot into fb mode. Also your cable might not be made well(just a suggestion)

I had the same behaviour (or lack of behaviour :/) with my first kf2, on which I had tried to install the KF1 boot - yeah I know, you never read enough before flashing
No reply at all, either with normal usb, charger, or selfmade fastboot cable (tested on my new kf2)...
The thing is as soon as I saw it was bricked, I called Amazon for a solution ("don't know what happened, yesterday evening all was ok, this morning it wouldn't boot"). They asked me to perform a few tests (basically let it charge for 2 hours and try to boot again), and when I called back they just started the replacement procedure: I had a new item within 3 days, and 1 month to send the first back (carriage paid).
I just sent the first one back, so maybe they'll investigate and charge me, but honestly I doubt they'd give a damn

Hi all, ive gave up on the slim chance that there might be a BT chip inside the kindle fire 2. With the release of custom ROMs on our device, is it now possible to get bluetooth working via otg cable? I have a micro BT usb an was wanting to use it for ps3 compatibility so i can play ps1 roms etc wirelessly. I know you can connect a 360 controller cablde to the kindle but imn looking for wireless connectivity.

I wasn't going to answer because I'm not a dev....but was curious so looked up some stuff.
From what I can see....I can't find anyone doing that, ever. Yet I see a LOT of people saying "No, not possible unless you get a custom ROM" yet....I haven't found anyone that has actually done this!
Not sure why, although since we have devs I will be curious to see their response. No idea why I can't find a SINGLE post of anyone doing it, yet I also haven't seen anyone that has flat out said no, only that you will need a custom ROM.
If we do get it working, it would probably be one of the first times someone has done bluetooth via OTG. If you can find anyone that has done it before though, that may help out.

well my plan was to buy a usb dongle, cheap ofcourse, put an external power supply, i.e 5v supply if i cant get one. for talking sakes lets say i use a battery ( i know voltage etc are not same as 5v supplied by normal usb ports) hook red + on battery, black to negative on the battery and add a switch so i can switch it on and off, so the only thing i would then need to take would be the data coming from the kindle itself. From what i can gather cm10 has bluetooth dongle support, if so then it would just be a case of an app looking at usb instead of internal bluetooth. Please correct me if i am wrong ( which i am pretty sure i am ). This is one feature which has let the kf2 down for me. All the others i can live with, even if i only had stock rom and it had bluettoth connectivity, it would be better for me. I hate having ideas but not being able to do anything about it so any advice, tips or reasons as to why it will not work is all good
While im on, does anyone have a kf2 with custom rom, a powered usb hub, an otg cable, a bluetooth dongle and a spare ten mins to check if the dongle is recognised by the kf?

Sorry to revive this, but I have a kindle fire 2, rooted with the official cyanogenmod jellybean. I'm later going to order a bluetooth dongle and I already have a powered hub. Being a college student I have a lot of spare time to this sorta thing. I'll check back later if there are replies or if i have done it and have results.
EDIT:
Although some people on this thread have already said that bluetooth doesn't work without a powered hub, you can find videos demonstrating it without a powered hub. I'll also test this later.
Cm10 + otg + bt dongle = works!
I recently about an Onda V973 specifically so that I can load CM onto it but was disappointed that BT wasn't built-in. So I got an OTG cable and a cheap dongle. At first the connection didn't work but after a reboot CM was able to load the drivers for the dongle. Works great! :good:
I am 99% sure Kindle Fire does not have a bluetooth chip. I tried it myself on CM10.2, 10.1, and it doesn't activate. The modem does not have this feature.
It would be interesting to try and mod the tablet that way, though.
Is their somewhere or someone I could send my kindle to get unbricked? I don't mine sending it in. Please help
No but we can help you fix it if its fixable.
What is going on? Describe with detail.

How long have you had your KF? Did you buy it new? Do you know if it was a second or first generation KF?
I had it for two weeks, its used, its a kindle 2 , I've rooted a phones and tablets before, but never glad problems like this

Unfortunately, for the KF2 there is nothing that can be done about it right now.
I accidentally flashed a kindle v1 bootloader and messed. It up, I guess I'll buy a broken kindle 2 and switch the screens.
Thanks for the help
