Has it 2 sim slots, FM and TV? :cyclops: :laugh:
Are you still in China? My work has a plan there and I know in parts of China Google does not work due to the government blocks it. I know this because when we have to go over to support the factory we can not use google there.
nahh he got the phone from someone that came from china (i know oscar) but basically he intends to use the phone in Mexico ..
i have that phone on my hands after a brick, i recently restored to factory default firmware due to a bad Update that happened after he rooted and tried to update... (i think it doesnt have any security measures for the updates :/)
so basically
i want to know how similar is to the nexus 6 and if the phone can be loaded with the normal nexus 6 frimware
or if there is away to add a good set of google apps (like on ROMS) @oscarcorreab
I have the exact same issue. I have tried everything including root techniques, installing google apk via third party to make google services work but the google play services not working pop up annoys me constantly. How does one make the moto x pro work ? I have bought this phone now I need to be able to use google play store on it.
I am looking for reviews or overall first impression of the $50 tablet. I went to Best Buy to play with one, but sadly it was locked to Demo mode and reps didn't know if we can exit.
It has quad core, but I am not sure if it's actually snappier than earlier kindle fire tablets.
I've had it about 2 hours so far. I currently own a note 4 and a galaxy pro 10 inch tab. This is my first "reader". I need a little time to get to know it. But, so far, so good. Now, I just have to root this little puppy.
Just got mine today....all I can say is that the battery life is not bad. 100% charged and dropped to 57% after my son watch videos for a few hours. Got the kids Edition. Will try and root the tablet tomorrow, if I brick the thing beyond repair, I can always take up Amazon 2 years no question guarantee

Got mine on Wednesday and i'm looking forward to read your experience about rooting it...
Received 6 in the mail yesterday! So far I like the feel but rooting would be fantastic.
I started playing with mine this morning. I was able to get the Google Play store to load (with full connectivity!) after downloading the Google Services from the play store using APK downloader. I also downloaded the latest Play Store version from apkmirror. The only issue I saw was that it didn't recognize my purchases on the play store app. If I go through my PC to the app store in Chrome or whatnot, I can send the purchased apps to the kindle fire. My only qualm so far is that the volume with headphones in seems kinda low.
To get an idea of how to get google play working, check out this link: http://kindlefireforkid.com/how-to-setup-a-google-account-on-amazon-fire-tablet/. The only thing to replace to get it working is the Google Play Services, which you can download from the play store using APK Downloader (Chrome and Firefox Addon).

Did the initial sign in process take a bit? Mine is still loading...
No it didn't take too long...I did do a reboot before installing the Play Store though, so you may want to uninstall, clear out caches and try again
Yeah all my apks won't install. They just say app not installed.
The play store apk does and play services does but framework and account manager do not

So I got it to work. Also, all my purchases show up now
Did you have to do something extra to get it to work? Here's a link to the files I used (including the Google Services apk from the Play Store): http://bit.ly/1LZaetI. Here's the order I installed them:
1. com.google.android.gms.apk
2. GoogleLoginService.apk
3. GoogleServicesFramework.apk
After those 3 are installed, reboot. After the reboot install PlayStore_v5.9.12.apk
I didn't clear any caches or anything to get it working. Good luck!

I also installed Google Account Manager, so I don't know if that made my purchases show up or not but it worked.
Anyone able to add a second account to Google Docs apps?
Everything worked fine. Now I can use the google apps normally
EDIT: everything worked on W8.1, but not in W10...
Any ideas on rooting or link to do so?

Hi Guys,
Just unpacked my new fire hd8.
Did anyone already successfully install the play store on this Android 7 based device?
Would it work to simply try fetching the usual files from Nugat and install them?
Thanks for your help

ok, just gave it a try:
Google Services Framework and Google Account Manager 7.1.2
Google Play services 14.3.66 64bit nodpi
Google Play store 11.9.14-all
After starting Google Play the Fire insisted on installing nee Google Play services. I let it do it's job.
So far it worked. I can install apps.
I'm getting it on Saturday. How is it performing?
Can you post a picture of your Fire HD 8 with Google Play working?

Quite ok, much faster than the older Fire 7 I had, and gave up on.
It is very usable. Downloaded quite a few apps now, and most perform well.
Only my local newspaper app still causes issue when logging in, but this app isn't working well in real live too..

Yep I have a Fire 7, 5th generation. Disabled some bloat and removed lockscreen ads, it performs /okay/ now, but great to hear that the new Fire 8 performs good! Excited to test it out on Saturday.

Quick update. Realised that I was sloppy on the OS version: After the initial update it's 6.3.0.1. A reasonably clean Android 7.something
So far pretty much everything seems to work as wished. I usually install apps from the fire store if available, and then from play if I don't have the choice.
I have now Chrome, hangouts, hangouts meet, both with two accounts (enterprise and personal). Goole Play Music, Canon Camera Remote (Fuji is on the fire store) etc running.
Also my microsoft account works well, no issues with onedrive etc... For Skype I'm using the Kindle version.
One note: don't forget to enable the lock screen if you want to add a google enterprise account. Otherwise it will simply fail to log on, without a direct useful error message!
So I got my new Tablet yesterday, loaded it up today with the exact versions you list above, it lets me log in, but then kicks me out of the play store and asks me to log in again... Hope this isn't anything to do with 2FA or anything, but I can't figure out how to stay logged in and install apps...
Edit: Yeah, it lets me login, accept the terms, then goes right back to Checking info... Which leads to the login page...
Thought I had it with a factory reset, got a few apps installed, but now won't stay logged in again...
Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play services
Has anyone run into this on the newest version of the Fire HD 8? I go to update Google Play services and it says it is 'installing' forever (well... it hasn't stopped yet at least... I've forced stopped it a few times, and tried again, but nothing) I've tried the most up to date guide on here (October 4th 2018) and this still sits here waiting on installing services... which stuff like Google Play Books needs... I mostly want GPB because I store a lot of books on Google, and this is a great little reading device.

Strange Google Play Books won't even install unless Google Play Services gets updated. Thanks though.

Same problem! Repeat loop and back to sign in.

Did you check which versions are now on your tablet?
Did you try to do an update of all apps on the Amazon Store first, and then on the Google play store? Make sure you are not "updating" any apps that are originally from the Amazon store, like Alexa (causing issues).
Can you log into your google account from the silk webbrowser?
Everything works pretty well on my tablet. I only had to download the Amazon Alexa app again from the Amazon store, after the play store had "updated" the original version, which caused it to crash.
Same issue continuous login loop

I can login to Google in Silk.
All versions are the following:
Google Services Framework and Google Account Manager 7.1.2
Google Play services 14.3.66 64bit nodpi (040400-213742215)
Google Play store 11.9.14-all 214884739
I have dual factor authentication on my Google account which requires me saying yes to an authorization prompt on my phone.
That seems to work though because after that I am prompted in the Google Play app with terms of service. When I accept them, it goes back to the login prompt, requiring me to enter my credentials again. This loop didn't end even after five attempts.

Just checked the Silk Browser and Amazon updates, same problem remains. Checked multiple times that I've got the right versions for this tablet, same result. Login Loop, can't get into the play store anymore and wants to update Play Services, but can't... About ready to return it and get a real Android tablet instead...

If you need something now return it and look elsewhere. Otherwise look for a workaround in the coming weeks. This doesn't feel like a showstopper issue.

Sorry to hear. Looks like something is behaving differently on your Fire.
You could try a complete reset and do it all over again if you are feeling adventurous.. Though I have heard that doing the same thing all over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity
I do not 2FA on my google account, so that could have triggered it.
btw.: Did you also have the message about updating google play service after google play store the first time? Apparently my google play services framework still seems to have the same version number... Just looking for things that went differently on your setup.
Returning sounds like a good plan if an android tablet is what you really want.
According to this article, Google apps are not supposed to work on the newest Amazon devices. It also mentions something called "Yalp Store" which might be interesting.
https://android.gadgethacks.com/new...-amazon-no-more-android-apps-fire-os-0183744/
Also: I am not sure if the Launcher Hijack apk v.3 is working on the new Fire 8, but I found a new launcher called "Flick Launcher" which allows you to set a custom action for the home button. Set the home button to open Flick Launcher (open itself), and it will go to home screen. It will require the pro version which is $2.50. I don't have a Fire 8 8th gen to test it on, but it does work on my Fire 7 7th gen, and my Moto E Play. It's very slow getting to the home screen on the Fire 7, which has Lollipop, but it's a lot faster on my phone, which has Oreo, so it might be faster on Nougat. I am not sure if this is a definite solution, but it could be.
