Kindle Fire Browser

[Purple Nurple]

Hitting the "next" page takes me to the first page

[Purple Nurple]

Actually it the Maxon web browser. The default kindle fire browser wont let me on the mobile skin. Double pissed off.

I tried the Dolphin browser and wanted to punt it through the TV

Root it!

I rooted mine on the second day I got it. Put Dolphin Browser on it. My favorite android browser.

But if you hit next on the mobile browser and there is no next page, it will do that I think.

[Purple Nurple]

Of course as soon as I posted the native browser works on the mobile skin. I'm good for now but the developers might want to look at the alternate browser.

Rooting frees your Kindle (or any android device - the equivalent would be jailbreaking an iphone) from Amazon's death grip. The Kindle is a powerful android device but Amazon hinders it. Ofcourse rooting is not for the faint of heart. You could brick it - like I did.

But I turned it into a regular Android Tablet. With GoLauncher (insteader of the Amazon launcher with the bookcase), Android Market (instead of Amazon's market - much more apps). And a hole bunch of other features you can't do on a standard Kindle. You can also change your wallpaper, etc.

But it can be a pain. But to me its like a hobby. It restricts access to prime videos once you root, but there is an easy workaround for that.

Not default. 3rd party browser. Dolphin browser IMO is the best browser for andriod. Has a feel like chrome for PC.

Also after I rooted, I switched out the Kindle keyboard for Swiftkey keyboard. Much better.

I bricked my Kindle after trying to install something to the bootup. I was sweating bullets. I was able to eventually push some drivers from my PC after a lot of trial and error. I was about ready to buy a new one, and hide the bricked one from my wife.

They have the Kindle Fire utility for rooting, which roots it easily without worry of bricking. But if you start messing around further like me, its very easy to screw up.

[/quote]Emailed with our liaison at Invision and the said they don't currently support this browser but will most likely do so in the future.

[Purple Nurple]

They are operating system versions of Android. Google names every version after a desert or sweet. It's the same thing like Windows 98 > windows xp > windows 7.

The Kindle Fire runs a modified version of Gingerbread. The versions are in alphabetical order. So the later the better. Ice Cream Sandwhich is the best available version.

[Purple Nurple]

Ok. Now I know. Go Joe!
