Skype isn't pre-installed on my kindle fire HD and...

Well just as the title says. I've tried both skyper versions and both are incompatible. Apparently it's pre-installed but when I checked my wasn't.

Which 7" Kindle Fire are you using?
I had no problems getting Skype up and running on my 7" Kindle Fire HDX. This came as a pleasant surprise. The specs for the 7" Fire HDX make no reference to any microphone but one is there somewhere! 
To get the right version go to the Amazon App store and search for Skype. Tap install and it should be up and running within seconds. Enter your Skype account name and password, and you should have your all you contacts etc., ready for use. Use the Skype test call to check everything out to get the pleasant surprise of hearing your own voice. 
The one thing that I had to do after this was to re-initialise my Kindle as Silk promptly hung. No great surprise this as Silk does seem to be a bit unstable.

  • Witch flash player do i download for a kindle Fire hd and how do i get it to work.

    Witch flash player do i download for a kindle fire HD and how do i get it to work.

    One option that seems to resolve the problem with Kindles connecting to the AirPort is to change the Radio Mode on the 2.4 GHz radio to use the "802.11b/g" setting. Note that this would impact any 802.11n clients on this frequency by effectively reducing their data rate to a maximum of 54 Mbps.
    You would change the Radio Mode setting in the AirPort Utility, as follows:
    AirPort Utility > Select the Extreme > Edit > Wireless tab > Wireless Options
    Radio Mode: 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g
    Click on Update.

    Hi,
    I have accidently deleted safari from my iphone and can't find it to put it back. I did it ages ago as I didn't know what it was and I was trying to create extra space!   Now when I click on a link say in an email, it doesn't come up with a browser.  I have looked at the apple site but can only see a download for mac users.  Not sure if this is the case because it is preinstalled on the iphone.
    Help needed please!

  • Kindle fire hd 8.9 and skype quality

    How is the video quality for skype on kindle fire hd 8.9

    Not good for me. Although I have the 7" and have only tested one case. Everyone had great wi-fi connection and the same conversation on Facetime looked well. But the video call between my Kindle Fire HD and an iPad on the other end wasn't good. The conversation crashed every 3 minutes and app broke (sent me to home). And the video quality was poor. Audio was fine but somewhat delayed. Tried re-installing Skype and had the same issues. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hello donkey,
    please also refer to this extensive Thinkpad Superguide.
    I would recommend do not uninstall all the programs, especially Thinkvantage.
    Pc Doctor is Lenovo´s system checker tool. Leave it.
    McAfee should be a trial version, if you don´t have purchased it with your machine. (Antivir, AVG are good and free solutions for private use.
    Agilix Gobinder seems a e-learning solution. May you have bought a students version?
    Skype should be clear, don´t know if it will be usefull to you.
