My daughters school has decided to start using Google classrooms for homework. Been trying with no joy at getting classrooms to work on her onyx tablet, either using the app or through the browser. Anyone have a solution?

If your Fire tablet is registered to your Amazon account. Deregister it and start to install Google services to get Google classroom works:
If you have your own Windows 10 PC to use Fire toolbox to install Google services first:

After the Google services are installed on your Fire tablet. Then get Google Classroom from Play Store:

Tried doing that, same result. Keeps giving a notification that the account associated with the school needs attention, if you tap on it it brings up a checking info screen then dumps me out and the notification returns.

I have the same exact problem. Anyone have a solution?

I had a similar issue, the true error notification was getting hidden. Google Classroom login with my daughters school account was forcing her to have a "pin" on her device. After I enabled a "pin" (or password) to log in to her tablet then everything worked great!
Try it out, hopefully it works for you!

I figured out that you have to login to the child’s school Google account on a computer browser and then go to “Manage your account”. On the left hand side click security then scroll down a bit and look for the option to turn on “Less secure app access”. Once this is turned “on”, our child’s account started working on the 8th gen Fire HD 8.

Unlink Amazon Account from FireTV

So i have some family members that wanted an android device where they could easily select netflix, hulu, youtube, twitch etc.... but they didn’t want to create an amazon account and i sure as heck didn’t want to leave my account linked to it. If you deregister your device from your amazon using the web the fire tv will not let you use any application until you create or login to an amazon account.
So what I did was:
1. You need Root
2. Install an alternative launcher
3. Using Titanium backup freeze KFTV Launcher and OOBE
4. Go online to amazon.com and deregister the device from your account
5. No more nagging message telling me to log in using an amazon account.
Hope this helps!!!
Because this will kill your connection to amazon please keep in mind that any amazon app downloaded will stop working.

I'm glad someone did this. I always would like to de-register my device from my account, since I have no longer use it. But I didn't try because I'm afraid that will block my root device. By the way, what OOBE stands for?

Wasnt easy trying to figure out which application was causing that login page to appear. took me an hour to figure it out.

Just came home and tried it, and it won`t work for me. The login screen will pop up to ask for login to amazon, even I have my own launcher. Weird....

Out of box experience - referring to the initial state a device is in when it is taken out of the box. A lot of time the first time you power on a new device it will come up with an initialization wizard that asks to active/register etc, and it only runs once.

Can't sign in to Chrome Fire HD 10 (2019)

Got a new Fire HD 10 recently, got all the Google APKs installed, play store running, every app except Chrome is accessing my Google account. When I try to log in to Chrome, I get the "Account already exists on this device" error. I've tried clearing cache and data for all Google Apps, uninstalling / reinstalling chrome. Any ideas to get sync working in Chrome?

Try to factory reset, bypass Amazon registration and re-install all Google API Service APK.
NOTE: If your Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account. You need to deregister and factory reset again to use Google account.
Do not register your Fire tablet with Amazon account.

Thanks for the heads up, I tried this, deregistered, factory reset, installed:
Google Account Settings
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Google Play
Added account to google play, downloaded chrome, get same message about "account already exists on this device."

Willing to try any other ideas.

Can you install Google Contacts Sync.
You Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account that causing an issues?
Same issue
Having the same issue, got the tablet today and installed google play and am getting the account has been added message.
For users having account already on this device just wait a few hours and keep trying. This is what seems to be happening for most, including myself.

This isn’t working for me. I installed all last night. I left the device on overnight. Alexa auto updated through Google Play Store, but I still get “the account already exists on your device” when trying to log into Chrome.
I have not registered with Amazon on the device and all system updates have been blocked (no OTA). I also debloated with Amazon Toolbox.
Anyone else figure out the why and how for the can’t log into Chrome issue here?
Thx!
I had the problem,the thing that seemed too work for me is sign in to your Google account on the built in Email client,then you can sign in to Chrome.

Try to disable any Amazon's bloatware like Amazon Appstore, Silk Browser, Amazon's Email app, DCP Platform Contracts app from ADB or Fire toolbox from @Datastream33. IMPORTANT: You need to install any web browser from Google Llay like Firefox or Google Chrome before doing this to disable Silk Browser.
Have you tried messing with Chrome's permissions?
I've had issues in the past until I manually went into the settings, and enabled google account + some other permissions for Chrome, and then restarted. Sometimes it just takes time for whatever reason.
For anyone having this issue, try to upgrade your "google play services" and reboot. You may be prompted to the upgrade page when you open "play games" app (other side loaded google apps might also do the trick).
Adding my Gmail account to the built in Email app fixed my problem too. Whoop! Thank you.
F***ing Amazon and Google ought to just figure out that most people use both of their services and allow Play Store and Chrome to reside side by side with Silk and Alexa (which I don't want to use, just like I don't use Microsoft Cortana, or Siri on my iPad).
In case someone else encounters this: it was the permissions for me. Enabled contact permissions for chrome and it worked.
Let's revive this thread... I recently purchased an HD10. I added the Google Play store, downloaded several apps not currently available in the Amazon app store, so it is definitely working.
For some reason chrome just won't run... it won't even give me the option to open it once it installs.
Any ideas what to do?

Fire HD 10 [7th Gen] 5.3.7.0 GPlay inst. | Google Login Problems

Yesterday i noticed that for some reason my Google account got unlinked from my Google Play Apps, so i couldn't use any of the Google related stuff. When i tried to re-link/login i got the message "There was a Problem communicating with the Google Servers - Try again later"
So i started scouring the Internet for fixes, of which there are a few but rarely are they applicable to FireOS and they basicly all boil down to "reboot, wipe cache, delete data, reinstall" and so on. Evantually i ended up doing a Factory reset but that made it only worse since now all my Apps are gone except for the ones from the Amazon Store which got saved in the recovery. I reinstalled the Google Play APKs and got again that same error message so i tried creating a new account which went kinda okay until it came to the final login, again that error, however once i closed the Google settings a pop-up offered me to login via Browser and that worked for whatever reason, so at least i got access to the Google Play Store again, but with no access to my App Library. Even more curious, occasionally Google picks up on my Login attempts and i get e-mails with "security warnings" about a new device. Using other devices i can login to Google just fine btw.
Currently i have 3 Theories as to what happened:
1. It just happened randomly, as it appearantly sometimes happens with Android if the Internet is to be believed.
2. A sneaky Update changed something and now the Google Login Auth on my Fire clashes with whatever updated, i assume that based on what is currently happening with the Amazon Netflix App and Google Play.
3. A few days ago i installed WhatsApp (sadly a necessity since it stopped supporting Windows Phone and there are People i need to communicate with via WA) and since Google Play stopped working "shortly" after i'm inclined to assume a correlation. Ironically WhatsApp doesn't work anymore after the reset, it now got connection problems too.
At this point i've pretty much tried all fixes, applicable to FireOS, i could find short of rooting the Fire and modifying the "hosts" file, though i looked at the File, using a root explorer, and it already contains what the Fix said it should contain, so i'm not sure if that would actually help.
I hope someone here has some more ideas on what i could try to get it working again, though i'm already getting used to the idea of having to Flash it in order to get Google Play working again. (kinda a feeling of excited dread and second-guessing the idea, so i'd prefer methods that aren't quite as invasive right now.)

Your Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account that causing all Google services. Try to deregister it and reset to .
Useful methods to install Google apps using Fire toolbox:

Can you protect your Google account by adding phone number in Google account settings.
So i did another Factory Reset, i couldn't get around not login into my Amazon account but this time i skipped restoring the Back-up and it worked, I was able to login into my google account, though that might be because i did it via the GPlay Store which kinda looked like a Browser login, rather than via GPlay Services but it is solved regardless, at least for now. I'm going to keep an eye on it for a few days, but i hope the Problem is solved for good.

Voice typing in Gboard and YoutubeKids not working - Goolge Assistant is working

I have got the problem that Voice typing in Gboard and on YoutubeKids is not working on the Fire HD 10 and Fire 7 (2019) (not rooted or unlocked). I could enable Google Assisant and Google Voice Search but Voice Input with Gboard and Youtoube Kids does not work! I can see Voice picking up but no processing.
With the HowTos here I could manage to get the Goggle Assistant running but that did not fix this issue.
After enabling Google Voice Input in the Settings a messages appears "Note: After a reboot, this app can't open until you unlock your Fire."
How do I fix this problem?

You can reset your Fire tablet (before you reset, you have to backup your important files) and pass Amazon account registration to prevent from dangerous things like virus, malware, spyware, and ransomware.
You can use NoRoot Firewall app to prevent updating your Fire tablet. OTA updates is not came with a security updates.

Have a similar issue
On my two HD 8- 2018s the voice search works everywhere EXCEPT in youtube kids which is where I really need it for my little ones! I tried a factory reset today, but didn't see to bypass the amazon registration in time, so I just unregistered it as soon as I was online. I am still having the issue too and am curious to see what people suggest.

Google Play Store With Child Account - Checking for Updates - Something went wrong!

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.
