[Q] Android Kindle App Problems - TouchPad General

I recently installed the CyanogenMod-7.1.0-tenderloin-alpha3.5 mod on my HP Touchpad.
I downloaded the Amazon Kindle App. I am having a problem in that i cannot download a book to my device. When i try to, it says "download interrupted".
My wifi was working fine, so i am not sure what caused this.
The Kindle App in Web OS still works fine, i would just prefer to use the app in android.
Thanks for the help

It sounds to me, like your wifi is dropping out on you. You might have to go to notifications and turn off and on your wifi. You can go to settings and do ti too.

Amazon Video APK

The Amazon Instant Video APK has been pulled from the Kindle Fire and can be installed on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
A couple of caveats:
(1) To use the Prime Instant video features, you must first purchase something to login. There is no separate login otherwise.
(2) It appears to only work over wifi
(3) If your device is rooted, it will not work.

Why post this? 99.99 % of us are rooted. Maybe we can fix it to work for rooted devices?
Also it doesn't work. FCS EVERYWHERE

Umm...for the simple fact that you can use Voodoo OTA temp unroot from the Market. Also the new version of this APK in todays 6.2 update doesnt work. It says this device is not suppose to be able to run Amazon Video Player.
I assume Amazon is cracking down...

Never heard of temp unroot, thanks, but yeah, as of late, amazon released a fire update, ruining everyones root on the fire and deleting the market. Probably part of that updated.
Pr0tip: This works on Gingerbread but not on HoneyComb.
Bunch of hypocrites, they sell root only apps
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/some_amazon_appstore_apps_require_rooting_att_need_not_apply/
installs and runs great on hp touchpad. however on purchase and login i get the following: Error linking device: Unknown error
What do you mean it runs great? I get to the point of seeing the button to play the video, but it is grayed out. I can play Amazon videos fine on my Exhibit II by temporarily unrooting the stock OS. It seems Cyanogenmod is somehow detected, because it doesn't work on my Nook Color with the Cyanogenmod either.

whoever wrote this article obviously has never had the balls to root a device and actually see what is possible, or even research it for that matter
I have the apk that allows me to play the videos for free that come with the amazon prime account (I signed up for a free month), but I don't see how to 'borrow' a book for free - this also comes with the prime account on kindle devices. Anyone have any information on how to do this on a Galaxy Tab?
Only Kindle devices can borrow books for free with the Prime membership. (you borrow directly from the device)
Two things. One KFHD looks for the device to be logged into amazon, I bet this requires framework not on our devices. Two, probably crashes when trying to view due to same.
Bottom line? Besides logcats to figure things out, I'm pretty sure a system dump will be needed to get the correct files to go with this......

And which apk would that be? I can browse (which is kind of nice) but like everyone, crashes when trying to play.

You don't need to temp in root either. There's an xposed module called root cloak that let's you pick specific apps to hide root from. Works great

Hbo on Nook Tablet

I was able to side load Hbo on the nook tab and kindle fire but cant get it to work on the nook! It works great on the fire! Any ideas how how to get it to work?
What does "can't get it to work" mean? Does it give an error? Does it not install?...
Edit: Just fired up HBO go, it starts to play then hangs with black screen and "HBO GO" logo in the center.

Same here! Works the K fire! Might just keep the fire instead of the Nook!
Same here and I've tried different versions with no luck on any...I get the HBO logo in the middle of the screen after the opening few seconds of a movie.
I talked to someone in the NT Dev group and was told HBO to go was at the top of their list of apps to get

anyone know when/if this will be resolved?
why no hbogo
Apparently the problem lies in the stock browser on the Nook Tablet...you can't sign in through this (or other NT available ) browser(s). For example you can't sign in using the Dolphin browser either. I have not rooted yet but have hopes once I do I can get in through opera mini or some other browser as I understand the Hbogo market app hangs on the tablet. Hope this helps...anyone rooted and tried other browsers or does the market app work when rooted as opposed to side loaded?
Got a rooted Nook with a Droid3 build prop and the HBO Go app from the market works great.

Hmm. Well, I've found that some apps just don't work all that well on the version of Android that comes with the Nook Tablet. I've been running a super-early alpha of CyanogenMod 7 for a while though and some apps that never worked on the stock OS work just fine now.
If you're willing to flash CyanogenMod 7 to your Nook Tablet, there's a ROM/Release that's very likely coming next week (you can read a bit about it in the development forum). Right now there's nothing available, but what's coming is looking very promising. You also wouldn't have to sideload it in CM7 - you'd be able to install direct from the Android Market.
I have my build.prop set to nexus s and HBO Go works flawless. I think you need to mod your build prop for it to work.

Amazon Video App working on Prime?

Has anyone got the Amazon video app working on their Prime? I installed the apk from another thread on XDA. It installs fine but when I click on a video it says "Unfortunately Amazon Video has stopped."
the only amazon app i found in the market on my prime was mp3, so im assuming the other amazon apps dont work, i been trying to get amazon shopping to show up
It isn't in the market. I'm talking about the Amazon Video app taken from the Kindle Fire which is reportedly working on other tablets as long as they are not rooted. The apk is available in several other threads on XDA including for the Nook. It would be very cool especially for people with Prime to get this app working on the Prime. My guess is it worked on the Prime on HC but not ICS. I didn't try it on HC before I upgraded to be sure though.
doesn't work here either
I wasn't able to get it working on mine either. I was able to sign in and everything, but any time I click a video I get an error. I don't see why this app is exclusive to the kindle in the first place. It really limits their sales.
I haven't tried it myself, but I seem to recall reading a thread that stated that you could watch movies via the browser just fine.
I got it working on a rooted kindle by using voodoo to temporarily unroot.

But not running ICS I presume? My understanding is it will not work on unrooted or ICS devices.

[Q] HBO GO

I have been running HBO GO without issue until yesterday when I did the update. Now it say device is not supported. I am wondering if anyone else who is running cm7 also encountered this and is there a work around. I tried changing build prop to nexus s and still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm seeing the same thing with the app. Using the web access works fine. I actually prefer the web interface. BTW the Max GO app upgrade broke also.
My Nook Tablet also crapped out on HBO to Go. I tried to revert back to version 1.0301 and it seems to work for everything until you try to sign in then you get the force close.
On my Viewsonic Gtab HBO to Go is running version 1.31111 and the video and audio is very choppy. I am really upset about this. My NT was my go to device for HBO!
Surprisingly my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, unrooted and running Ice cream 4.02 has version 1.41734 of HBO to Go now and instead of saying unsupported device, now runs HBO to G0 wonderfully!
What browser on your android device are you all using to get access to HBO to Go? I cant see to get to the sign in box....I am going crazy!

I use Dolphin Browser HD in desktop mode to access HBO GO. I logged on first via my FiOS account which automatically logged me into HBO GO. From then on the stored cookie logs me in directly.

Verizon FiOS is my "cable TV" provider and I subscribe to HBO and therefore get full HBO GO as part of the subscription. FiOS is fiber not "cable."
I recovered the prior apk for both HBO Go and Cinemax Go from my other NT -- moved them to the one that had been updated, installed and I'm back in business. My next task is to back up EVERY apk file to my PC so I can recover when apps break when they're updated.

What version is it? Can you post it here?
I am not sure if others have had issues with HBO Go since the May 4th update. I started getting the force close and was unable to sign in again. Well I am happy to report after finding an older version of the apk file on this very site - I am up and running again. It is the HBO Go 7 apk file.
Does anybody have an older version of the Max Go apk?
I hope this helps some of you.

I had the same issue. Install version 1.3 and it works fine using provider time warner
Can you provide a link to 1.3?

Yes, I was running a rooted Nook Tablet when I lost HBOgo as well. They updated the version of their apk which is what disabled it for us. I have the previous version on my phone but have not had time to grab it..I've decided to wipe and install CM7. So, as soon as I get to it I will post the old V 1.3.1 HBOgo apk for ya'll.
Sorry to make you wait!
hbogo v 1.3.1
Ok, all fixed to root root for now
Can anyone tell me how to host a link to get the apk available to you guys? Can't seem to paste a link using dropbox from my tablet....or Im doing it wrong! Dropbox newbie but pasteing has been an issue for me all along with this tablet...sometimes works using Opera (never via google) but not today!
Help me help you!

Amazon Underground doesnt load all the way?

So I managed to root my kindle fire hd 7 with kingroot and to my surprise its actually rooted. I root checked it and it came up rooted.
PRIOR to rooting, I updated my kindle fully. However it could NOT install amazon underground on legit vanilla updates only.
AFTER rooting, I was able to fully install amazon underground easy. Everything shows in the other app sections EXCEPT underground apps.
For exmaple if you click on the left pane tree, then click underground apps, the screen pops up but nothing loads. All I see is All Apps & Games | Underground Apps.
It seems like it wants to load but the only thing that shows is a black bar under the menu.
So it would look like:
All Apps & Games | Underground Apps
======blackbar=================
(white space)
Interestingly enough PRIOR to rooting, the regular appstore app did not show the Free Game of the Week section but it showed EVERYTHING else. I was also able to download and install other games NOT in the Free Game of the Week section. So at first I thought it had something to do with my membership with amazon but im a Prime member. Amazon underground works with my nexus 7 thats also rooted. It simply seems like this kindle just cannot display Underground Apps.
Google Play also does not work with this rooted Kindle Fire (it installs fine but shuts down right after starting it) but that doesnt bother me. I do like Amazon Underground though and would appreciate the assistance.

Fire OS 4.5.5.1

Try KFSOWI Modding at G+
I too have this issue. It's rather annoying. I get a return of error code 500.
If you happen to find a fix, can you please reply. I will likewise do the same.
Cheers
