Alan's Kindle 11/16/2011

after resetting my fire. it show up
Amazon Kindle Fire 11/20/2011
on my amazon account.
how can it be ?
Deactivate the kindle account linked and relink it. Look at your settings and see if the time is set right. Also in the amazon.com website you can change that text to whatever you want. Device settings for kindle on amazon.com
Anyone else have their kindle pre-activated? When I took mine out of the box, it already said my name on it. and had a kindle email address already. I did buy this with my amazon account and I had installed kindle software before, but never really used it. I just thought it was a little strange.
All Fires purchased through Amazon accounts were pre-registered to those accounts
Also to note your kindle will be registered to your amazon account's email address however an @kindle email address is also created to sync documents to your device. Have not tried this yet, but supposedly you can email a file to that @kindle address and it will sync to your device.
Here is one for you: I bought a Kindle Fire for my Dad for Christmas. I want to install apps he will want before I give it to him (xfinity tv app). Is ther a way to use my amazon account on the kindle to install the apps then set it to his account after I give it to him? (I have to root to install android apk stuff, but need es-file explorer from amazon app store first...kind of a quandry).
I do not want to register it for him with his name, using his email address...that would give away the secret when he gets a confirmation email.

I believe you can register it to your acct and do what you need to do then de-register it and give it to him.
Thanks for the reply, I guess that's what I'll do.
When you deregister, all content via the amazon market is removed.
Anything you purchase using YOUR account will not be available to him in His account.
I would simply wait until he gets his unit setup in his name and assist him. You can sideload the ES file manager, or use another one.
This is the quandry I'm in with the Fire I got my mom for Christmas. I'm thinking I want to be as hands off as possible though so she can get a feel for her new computer. I'm thinking I might help her favorite the gmail mobile web version, but then let her play with it. I did get her an Amazon gift card to go with it, so she can buy some apps, or books to have on it.
I found the way around registering my amazon acct, open the built in documents app, it lets you browse to the apk files, when you click them, it installs. I first did this to install root explorer, then it's all from root explorer sideloading.
I wonder...
I have an Amazon Kindle Fire and I reset it to defaults, but under "My account" I'm not signed in so it tells me "This Kindle is not registered", if I go ahead and start using Amazon App Store, does my kindle would get itself registered? or can I use my Amazon App Store apart from the fact that this is Amazon device and it's so heavily integrated (one app into another)?
Hi There,
I have installed google apps including playstore on my fire HD (7.Generation) according to one of the several guides on the net (4 APKs with Google Services and Playstore...)
Its works perfect for the main user on the device. But I have a second (adult) user configured on the device with a separate amazon account. Installing the Google Play Store fails here.
It is only possible to install the APK with the Google Account Manager and the Google Framework (GoogleLoginService.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk).
Installing of the Google Play-Services (com.google.android.gms-6.6.03_(1681564-036)-6603036-minAPI9.apk) and
Google Play Store (com.android.vending_7.2.13_com(playstore).apk) falis with an error message, that the app could not be installed.
Does anybody here know to to fix this and the the Google Play Store working also for the second user account on the fire tablet ?
Thanks in advance,
Fosi
Hi Guys
I got a Fire HD 10 (9th Gen) running the latest Fire OS 7.3.x Tablet for my daughter homeschooling and I would like to control the access to apps and activity via Google account instead of Amazon's.
I am able to install Google Account Manager, Google Framework Services, Google Play Service and Google Play Store. Now when I launch Google Play Store it asks me to log in, I used my daughter's account and it moves forward to ask for Parent to help set up the device, I then used my login as a parent and at this stage, Google Account ask for some activity monitoring etc and then get busy checking for updates. Within a minute it fails to state 'Something went wrong and I have to restart the whole process again.
Edit: If I just use my (adult) account to log in, everything works fine and I am able to setup the tablet. The problem is I do not want to login with mine but my daughter's.
Is there any fix for this?
exact same problem, a few days ago. With a Fire HD 8. I also need to set it up for a child!
Hey, did either of you by chance find a solution? I just ran into this same problem. Google Play Store lets me sign in with my account, but I'm trying to setup my kid's account on this Fire Tablet. Any advice? Thanks!!
Same. My daughter's Fire 10 HD (Fire OS 7.3.2.2) throws the ever-so-informative "Something went wrong" with her account.
I had this same issue. Once I switched it to signing in with my own Google account, it worked fine. Must be an issue with child Google accounts.
Hello, has anyone found the solution. I don't understand why it hangs. Is there a file to delete, permission to check? Thank you for your answers.
