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
New Fire stick received today. Installed the Fire Remote app on my iPad, it just keeps searching for Fire devices and hangs forever. Both the Fire stick and iPad are on the same wifi network, and ran the latest software update on the stick. Anything I can do to get this working? Tried on my iPhone, same result.
Maybe do a factory reset on the Fire stick.
By the way, can you confirm if the new fire stick has updated specs compared to the first model?
I feel mine is too slow and want to update.
Hello, I'm struggling to find much info but I'm trying to figure out if this is the right forum for Amazon fire TV stick, I'm seeing lots of stuff for Amazon fire TV but is this the exact same as fire TV stick?
I'm basically wanting to have my fire TV stick setup with something like Nova launcher and install a TV app for watching TV and also a few other apps for TV shows ect.
Any info would be gratefully received and if I'm in the wrong place I apologise but if you could point me into the correct place that would be great.
Thanks
I have both and the Fire TV is better/faster. The Fire Stick is good if you plan to move it around to different TVs or take it with you while you travel.
They are basically the same thing though, just one has better specs. If this is for your main living area I would get the Fire TV not the stick.
I have 2 Fire Sticks. Neither will discover either a Microsoft Arc Touch BT mouse nor a Logitech MX Anywhere Mouse 2 in Bluetooth mode. Fire OS v. 5.2.1.2
Both mice happily pair with my brand new Fire TV (non-stick.) Fire OS 5.2.4.0
Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks in advance.
Or, what Bluetooth mouse has anyone successfully paired a Fire Stick?
Wow, 99 views and no replies. How sad. Maybe I shall try resetting the Fire Stick to factory and see what happens. Or I wonder if this would do better in Q&A? I didn't see that at first.
I have put different files (such a roms) on several friends and family's fire sticks (gen 1 and 2) and this mouse has always paired for me.

An alternative is to use the "Mouse Toggle" app, works really well.

I bought this bluetooth mouse / keyboard / trackpad from Amazon and it works fine but you will need to also use a mouse toggle app (loads of video tutorials on YT about this) to get full functionality.
I followed this video and it worked for me first time. Interestingly, the cursor popped up on screen before I'd even finished all the steps - no idea why or how, but delighted!
I have an expensive Logitech M720 multi-device bluetooth mouse I just purchased that won't pair with my 2nd generation firestick. Bummer.

I just bought this on your recommendation for my 2nd generation FireTV stick. I deeply regret buying the Logitech M720 bluetooth mouse due to its low, non-adjustable DPI and no FireTV stick support. What was I thinking? What a waste of money.
Thanks for your post.
Hello Everybody
I was trying to replace my Apple iPad Mini 4 with Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8" (8th Generation) tablet.
The Kindle fire was mostly offered a satisfactory experience.
But i found the built-in speaker to be inadequate for video / voice calling apps.
The applications either always uses the internal speaker or produces no sounds when connected via Bluetooth.
Please help me to use external speaker with Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8" (8th Generation) while using calling apps.
