Hi since the last firmware update my fire tv purchased in usa now shows uk time and plays my prime movies and tv shows.This is a great box and so much better than the roku3 in every way.
Are you logging in with a UK Amazon account? If so, what did the Prime video section look like before this update?
Mmmm. Mine doesn't ....
Did you do anything specific?
---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------
Oh it does work (one Fire TV won't update for some reason (off to create a thread!)). Updated another, did a 'sync' to my account and now I can load applications and watch prime.
Cool.
Trying to of figure out how good is the device compared to the nexus 7 (2014) since the partner took over my device I didnt see any better options for the price. What are your thoughts?
Just bought it for 99€ (actually 139, I took the 32gb one). Its really great. Used a 2012 Nexus 7 so far and this thing is 10 times faster. My 32GB HDX got sent to my with 13.3.0.2 installed on it, so I updated to 13.3.2.4 and safestrapped it (tutorial in this forum section for all of it). After that I installed the HDX ROM from here...its now almost plane vanilla....really great.
However, if you need to have Kitkat or you want to use Lollipop, do not buy this device. Probably some day we get root for Kitkat, until then you will be stuck with 4.2.2....which is lacking some things - and speed.
Apart from that its the best cheap tablet around. BTW, I would not update from a nexus 7 2013 model.....I do not think that the speed is that much better. However, the 2012 Nexus was terrible slow now with Lollipop.
Where did you find it

It is very odd the logic in different countries. I going to look at Amazon.es, maybe I have the 8 for 99€ :crying:

But those Bastard will not ship to Belgium or France! European Single Market my arse
Hei, I am in a similiar situation as OP, but I simply don't know too much about rooting and stuff. So I get a little bit bold and simply ask you how hard it is to root the Kindle. I have read some sticky about the risk to brick it, but is it so unstable to use it on the HDX 7 device?
I imagine after the root you can add Android 4.2.2 to it. Didn't have that version of Android, is it as bad as I think it is? Does the root actually enable to use an USB OTG? I've read that it should not be possible but I rather ask again. If it would be possible I would get myself the 16 GB version.
Thx for the help.
I ordered mine. I'm in Croatia and they dont ship there either, but I used mailboxde.com to get it forwarded for 10€ (you get amazon prime for month and free shipping to there). Snapdragon 800 and 1920x1200 for 99€ is just top silly to pass (even though I have nexus 2012 and original fire and small kindle reader and I don't really need it but ugh.)
Kindle... waiting
Hi!
I'm waiting for the 99 Euro Kindle Fire HDX 7" now.....
I see many problems, that we have with rooting.
What need I do, when it arrives, and i want to root it, use it with the HDX Nexus ROM?
How can I be in safe?
????
Definitely get it while you can (today is the last day). I got the 64 GB model for €179 with the leather origami cover (€30, and the cover is awesome, best I have ever seen).
This is an upgrade from my Kindle HD 7 2012 model. In term of OS, I prefer my old one since it is running Kitkat 4.4.4 with CM11. My HDX is now rooted and Safestrapped, with HDX Nexus. It is a major step backward from CM11, but it will do for now. I am confident we will get CM11 or CM12 soon.
When I received it, it came with a really old version of Amazon OS, which is great: make sure you do not connect it to the internet. Follow the instruction in this forum to root, disable OTA, and safestrap.
I bought it last week for £119 the HDX 7 16GB with 4G/LTE, so there is not better tablet in terms of specifications/price.
Hopefully we can get bootloader unlocked soon.
16GB WiFi was sold out so I had to take the 32GB Wifi with the amazon credit card which gave 60€ off BUT I have to wait til the 24th since it will be the x-mas gift :crying:
Until then I'll be able to root it blindfolded and by heart since I pass by here almost every day now
Hello,
I am interested in getting a Nexus Player. I love all of the customizations that can be done with it. I especially like the fact that you can install an internet browser and use a Logitech K400 with it. (with some mods and adapters I know) Only thing I am wondering is if this fall there will be a Gen 2 released along side the new Nexus 5 and 6? I would hate to buy one now and two months later, boom heres gen 2. Anyone have any input on this?
Also, I like the Forge TV but i don't believe it is nearly as customizable as the Nexus is it?
I haven't heard any rumors about a new Android TV device from Google. Even the Chromecast hasn't had a hardware update yet and that's been out for a lot longer than the Nexus Player. If there's a retailer near you that offers an extended return policy on a product like this, maybe that's something to consider if you're concerned about a new hardware announcement. I haven't used a Razer Forge TV but with the Nexus Player being so affordable and customizable, Google's current Android TV hardware is still a good choice and is worth buying.
Thank you for your response. I have looked all over for info on a Nexus Player Gen 2 and have found nothing myself. I just figured this was a good place to ask. I will go for the nexus player then. This helps making my new TV purchase a lot easier as well. No smart tv needed, just a tv with a Nice display panel.
I have both a Nexus Player and Forge TV. If you use Netflix, don't buy the Forge because after months it still doesn't have Netflix. Nexus Player works great. Hopefully one day the Forge TV will get Netflix because I would rather use it with its built in Ethernet port.

If you can get it for about $50 its absolutely worth it.
i regret my purchase. my netflix app barely ever works, and not that many major apps support it, like hbo, sling tv or amazon instant. you would be much better off with fire tv IMO, especially now cause you can sideload kodi and im pretty sure its easily rootable and you can get google services and play store installed now. it has a better remote and more conectivity too
not to mention that the fire tv 2 is rumored to being released soon
OP, I think it will depend on what use you will give the device you end up getting.
I'm running mine with the latest M Preview build and it works great.
I was able to load Kodi straight from the Play Store (thru the web version to be specific), as well as other apps (e.g. ES File Explorer, few emulators, etc.).
I have an 3-way splitter OTG cable for my Rii K12 Ultra Slim keyboard/mousepad and a 32GB flash drive.
Again, it will depend on your use....

To counter this, the Fire TV is NOT easily rootable; you have to either have a very old firmware from a US only model, or be willing to solder parts to it. Google Play Services don't work well on it, and its still on 4.2.2 so a lot of apps from outside the Amazon store don't work. The new developer software is 5.1, but that makes accessing Kodi difficult as sideloaded apps remain hidden in a submenu of settings.
I'm trying to replace mine now, as I'm sick of working around Amazon's arbitrary limitations.
Thank you all for your input. I ended up getting a Nvidia Shield Console. I love it! The main reason I went with the Shield is because I currently have/use a 42" 4K TV. So it just made the most sense to me to get. I know a lot of content isnt broadcasted in 4K yet but some is with more to come. I have already watched some Netflix stuff in 4K. Looks awesome!!! The free Grid games are a nice touch as well. I have 100mbps net so Grid games run great! (I use wired connection, not WiFi)
I know you went another route. I bought the Nexus Player because I wanted to stop renting a cable box. I bought an HD HOMERUN PRIME and only rent a cable card from the cable company now. I found out the hard way that I can only watch "unprotected/ non DRM channels" on my computer. After searching a lot, I found that the HD HOMERUN VIEW app on android allows me to watch these channels (which is most of the channels worth watching). The Nexus Player utilizes this app and now I can watch all my channels with this on my big screen. Just thought I'd throw this in for those considering buying a Nexus Player.

I spent about 80$ on mine and it was completely worthless. The app ecosystem is almost dead, the user interface is limited, no okay google all the time, nothing special at all. The only thing you can do is stream limited media. Just get a chromecast.

you must not know what kodi is. do some googling.
I have a variety of streaming devices. But family acceptance is important. So Roku connected directly to the TV which is great for family. The Nexus Player rooted with custom ROM. Tvmb is the main application. It is connected to the home theater. For movies and live TV it is quite useful. But not as easy to use. So mostly I set it up.

There is a way with a custom ROM to use the USB port as an Ethernet connection with the Nexus Player.

[Deal Alert] Get A Nexus Player For Under $50 On Groupon (Down From $99.99)
A good deal. Worth it .
So I ended up buying a Nexus player for my 32" 1080P TV in my bedroom. I still have my Shield on my 4K in the living room, loving that! Just waiting for the new nexus phones to release so I can replace my iPhone, then I will be done with Apple. (I had an Apple TV that I sold and I currently have an iPhone 6 which is going to be replaced with the New Nexus 5 upon release)
Anyways, I loved the Nexus Player at first! I think it is pretty awesome! One issue, it will NOT wake from sleep. I tried everything! Clearing cache, factory reset after update. Anyone running CM12.1 on their Nexus player? How is that and will it fix sleep issue? Thanks!
Google has the factory images on their website. On my phone right now or I'd posta link. It's pretty easy though does everything for you. If that doesn't fix it then you've got a bad device and should exchange it.

Glad you're enjoying your NP. I'm not sure if it is the CM12.1 ROM or not, but on the Android M Preview build I get a delay wake from sleep. The device takes a tad longer than the original firmware. Try reverting back to stock or using the Android M Preview build.
These are seeing pretty good price drops in the States. Walmart cleared these out for $39.99. Best Buy and others have them for $49.99.
I have Roku 1, 2, 3, Fire Stick, Ouya, Chromecast, RaspPi 2, Android PC Sticks, etc. The Ouya is my main gaming unit. But I like to buy these for traveling and toying with. Having the wife and kid used to the Rokus, I can see them easily picking this up and working with it.
If you are seriously looking for a TV Streamer box, you may want to wait. The Roku 4 and the new Nexus TV is coming out soon (October). The Roku has always been my fav for home use. It is simple and doesn't bombard you with Amazon or Google ads. It just works. The Nexus TV is pretty good too, although I plan to use it for personal uses such as emulation and a traveling companion.
I think for $50, it is awesome. Plus it is getting Android Marshmallow once the new one hits, so they will effectively run the same. The new one will just have a longer life. So it might be worth spending $99 on the new one and having a few more years of life on it.
I ended up returning my Nexus Player. I paid $69.99 +tax at Best Buy. About a week later I seen it at Walmart for $39.99. I did not re-purchase it yet though! The price drop tells me that a new one is on the way. So I am going to wait for the Nexus event on Tuesday (9/29) before I do anything. If there is a new one announced, I would guess that it would only receive a performance boost and 4k Support. If that is the case, I will just re-purchase the one I had. I only need it for the bedroom, and I do not see myself buying a 4K for my bedroom for a very long time, if ever.
I did unroot, lock the bootloader, and factory reset before I returned though. I'm sure they just threw it back on the shelf as an open box item.

I placed my order today. I was looking for a cheap tablet to play my second Clash of Clans account on. I haven't looked into rooting and putting custom RoMs on Kindle Fires, or even if it's possible.
New Kindle
I'd really like to see the following:
1 - Root.
2 - Some way of either completely unlocking the new Fire OS or better yet, replacing it with a clean Lollipop or Marshmallow load
Yes, there are certainly cheap $50 Android devices out there, but I'd rather (given the chance) use a more supported hardware platform that more people will buy (Amazon Kindle vs. "YumCha Tablets, LLC"), thereby expanding the ecosystem and making the platform more attractive to the people that can DO development for it. Which, unfortunately, isn't me. Wish it was. I'd be all over this if I knew WTF I was doing.

Spec also includes Bluetooth, which will make it a definite contender for my shop as a media player/general purpose internet lookup device. I've really set my expectations low so that they'll be easy to exceed - after all, it's going to be replacing a rather arthritic gTablet running Vegan Tab Gingerbread that's due to be put out to pasture, so this should be a marked improvement.
Preorderd as soon as I found out about it.

It's a time and space thing.
If you reply within a certain time, and no one else has replied, often post is added to your first post.
It's not very consistent though.
I is kind of assumed, that is you are posting in the same thread, it is a reply to the same subject.
If each post was kept separate, I would have well over 12,000 posts...maybe.
I don't think discrete is the right word, this is a public forum, and visible to anyone on the web.

Thanks for the response. Just felt it odd that as I was replying to separate messages (albeit in the same thread, yes) that they'd all be counted as a single response. Weird.
Re: Discrete
Discrete is singular, standalone or unique (unique was the intended meaning), while discreet = Stealthy, private or hidden (what I think you were referring to)
Appreciate the feedback, though. Thanks for responding.
I've talked to a dev that is planing on trying to get it safestrapped with CM running.
Given my experience with the Fire Phone, I have no use for a FireOS device unless I can get CM running.

just got mine and for a $50.00 tablet it's pretty smooth. of course I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. But still pretty good.
Received mine today. It seems to have lots of light bleed though, and the screen feels very 'sticky' (finger doesn't run across screen smoothly). I know it's a cheap tablet but had expected more as I'd heard Amazon devices generally had good build quality.
I'm playing around with the Fire 8 right now. Terrible bleed on the top left and right corners of the screen. Other than that, the build quality is good and it's a smooth experience. Really hoping to see CM on these, Fire OS is gross.
Does anyone know when/how the XDA boards for these devices will be set up? I'm willing to test root methods/bootloader unlocks/recovery flashes/OS flashes.

Yup. Also received all six of mine today. I agree the glass doesn't feel smooth, but I'm going to put a screen protector on them anyway. There is light bleed on the bottom (portrait) of the one I opened, but its not terrible. Just noticeable. The most noticeable thing is the extremely cheap plastic back/housing. Wow, it is super cheap feeling. BUT I'm not surprised or complaining. It runs smoothly and has decent specs and cost me $50 plus I got one free. Can't complain.
I'm keeping one for me to play with since my Nexus 7 2013 is acting all wonky lately. The other four will be Christmas gifts for our kids, and the last one I'll put back as a spare.
I'm happy as is, but if we can unlock the bootloader and/or root and install an AOSP ROM, then I'm golden.
Received Mine!
Live in the Seattle area and received mine today.
Seems pretty smooth functionality wise, and quick when I open/switch between apps. Can take a little bit of time to download and install applications. I would advise against trying to put Facebook on this tablet. It bogs it down terribly. If you have to have Facebook, I would find the Facebook Lite APK and side load.
Hoping that someone roots and makes a cool or ASOP for this tablet. Can't wait!
apart from rooting there's a way just to have the Play store?
thanks

The Galaxy Tab 4 is an amazing device in my opinion, and mine has survived water damage as well. But all of my other devices have Lollipop, and the Tab 4 does not. I like to make my own modifications, but I like to stay as close to OEM condition as possible. That's just what I'm used to. So I'd appreciate it if somebody could port the SM-T235 Lollipop 5.1.1 firmware to my Galaxy Tab 4, or tell me if I could flash the stock LTE firmware. Thanks.

I know, it's annoying. KitKat and Holo is good and all, but such a beautiful display deserves better (i.e. Material Design). Even the Tab 2 (I own one) has it, and it's ironic. That's why I'm starting work on an AOSP Marshmallow ROM (Nougat or Oreo if possible but no promises) for the SM-T230/NU. I don't have an LTE Tab, but I can do it for the Wi-Fi one. It'll take time, though. My laptop has low-spec hardware and is problematic, and doing stuff on it is annoying. That's why I was wondering about the Lollipop port in the first place, because I need this tablet more than ever.

I have a Tab 2 7.0 wifi (GT-P3113), Tab 4 7.0 wifi (SM-T230NU), and Nook HD (BNTV400).
I use UNOFFICIAL LineageOS 14.1 on Nook, stock (ROMs I make) for Tab 4.
My Nook is my main device.... I use Tab 2 sometimes, but mostly I update that to the weekly LineageOS 13 build. Tab 4, I only use if I don't have any other Android device (goes for any device to use). I also make ROMs for Tab 4 like CM 11 based ROM. That is my main goal, then I will try Mokee 4.4.4 for Tab 4 (no promises if it works). I heard you need 500+ GB Hard Drive, and 8 GB minium (that's if you want it to go slow for 8), and Ubuntu. But you can use Google Cloud. But that requires for you to add a credit card or a bank account. Could I see your GitHub for the AOSP Tab 4? And could I try it when it is done compiling? Thanks.
My laptop does have a 500gb hard drive, but it only has 4GB RAM. I'm syncing the Android source using UoW, but it's taking long, because of the code size. I have a Motorola Moto G, which is essentially a multimedia device, a Tab 2 with IR (spare tablet) and the Tab 4 is my daily driver. I haven't set up the GitHub yet, so I'll PM you when I do. This is my first project for XDA, so be patient. ☺

Ok. You can try my LineageOS 15 GitHub. If you want.

Is it possible to install SM-T235 stuff on SM-T230NU? I want lollipop so bad.

I know, it's annoying. KitKat and Holo is good and all, but such a beautiful display deserves better (i.e. Material Design). Even the Tab 2 (I own one) has it, and it's ironic. That's why I'm starting work on an AOSP Marshmallow ROM (Nougat or Oreo if possible but no promises) for the SM-T230/NU. I don't have an LTE Tab, but I can do it for the Wi-Fi one. It'll take time, though. My laptop has low-spec hardware and is problematic, and doing stuff on it is annoying. That's why I was wondering about the Lollipop port in the first place, because I need this tablet more than ever.

Did anything ever come about for a 5.0 or higher ROM for the T230NU?
