Kindle Fire and International Skype

Yes please - I want to know if there is an app to skype with my Kindle Fire - it is the only electronic gadget I will be taking on vacation to Vietnam, Laos, Thailand & Cambodia in Dec. 2011.
I know the Kindle fire doesn't have a camera but I am ok with that, just want to text and or call a mobile that is in the USA.
Thanks!

Kindle Fire and Adobe Air plug in + Air 2.7 + gpu + landscape + full screen

Alright I got a couple of issues here.
First I was on air 2.7 trying to convert an app that is designed to run in gpu mode, in landscape orientation, and full screen, well this is a known bug on 2.7 and the work arounds I found did not solve my problems or I was not clear on implementing them.
Then I figured I go 3.1, surely that issue is fixed by now, run the app on my Kindle Fire and it tells me my air is out of date so it prompts me to go to the Amazon app store for an update except when I do it just takes me to the free app of the day page and I can't manually find the air app through the built in amazon app store, I see it on the web version but cannot download it, and if I am having this problem all the users will too so some solution like getting it off the android market and putting on the fire manually is useless.
It seems that there is no plug in available on the amazon app store that will allow the fire to run applications built in 3.1, is this true? I've seen a few posts regarding this. And if true, why and when will this be fixed? I wasted a day with this problem when I could have been doing some design.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

A word of caution:
the Amazon Appstore checks for Kindle Fire support AFTER it accepts app updates. So a developer can unknowingly break KF support, and still get app updates accepted into the store!
Here is an e-mail I just sent to Amazon's KF team:
FYI, there is a significant loophole in your submission pipeline:
1) All my apps use Adobe AIR.
2) For the longest time, they were all compiled with AIR 2.7 so there was no problem. I got a bunch of downloads, including from Kindle Fire users.
3) A week ago, I updated most of my apps to AIR 3.1, and broke Kindle Fire support, without my realizing it, because I didn't know that the KF only supports AIR 2.7. Unfortunately, all the updates with broken KF support were accepted into the store!!!
4) Now I am getting users complaining that their apps no longer work on Kindle Fire.
What should have happened: NONE of the updates should have been accepted after it was realized by your review team that they broke Kindle Fire support, while previous versions worked fine on it and KF users downloaded them. Reviewing KF support separately, after the initial review/acceptance, is not a good process!
In any case, I have re-submitted all my apps with the release note 'Restored Kindle Fire support'. What I did was use 'captive runtime' for compiling all my AIR 3.1 apps, which normally means that the app will not require an external AIR runtime to function. Hopefully, this will work this time. If not, I am going to have to re-compile everything using AIR 2.7, which is a major drag since some of the features I depended on are part of AIR 3.1.

Kindle Fire and emails

Hello,
I may be in the wrong place here, but can anyone tell us how to SEND emails on our new Kindle fire? We can receive them fine. We have a desktop with XP and use Outlook Express; we are with BT Broadband. We thought we'd done everything correctly, but obviously not.
Many thanks.

If its the standard Kindle email you are using and are happy with POP3 set up try these settings. (Obviously user name and password are your own BTYahoo ones). You may have used this set up

Kindle Fire and Cisco Valet M10

I am having trouble keeping the connection constant on my Kindle Fire. I've re-entered everything manually. My iPhone and 2 other computers are fine. Please help!

There are times when your Valet Hotspot receives large frames of data, thus resulting to slow Internet connectivity. This is most common when streaming videos or playing online games. To resolve this issue, you can configure the MTU settings of your Valet Hotspot.
Here is the link to help you out in configuring the MTU Settings: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=22400&userrole=Links...

Kindle Fire and Uverse App Update to new version

I use my Kindle Fire to watch live TV from my office up until this last week. Apparently Uverse did an app update and now the current version is not compatible. When I search for the updated App in the App store the only option now is the Kids Uverse version. When I click on the link from Uverse.com, the app says it is incompatible and cannot download. Is there a Kindle Fire version or a way to update the old one so it will work?

Kindle is Android compatible , so you should be able to side load the Uverse app from 1mobile market. http://www.1mobile.com/at-t-u-verse-130810.html Otherwise you will have to wait for Amazon Store to update their Uverse version.

Kindle Fire and Microsoft Live Account

Hello magnificent skypers,
I installed/set up Skype with my Microsoft account. Everything is working fine on my PC as I use the "login in with a microsoft account" option. But this option doesn't appear to be available in the Kindle version of Skype. I haven't set up a Skype account directly and when I try to "unlink" my microsoft account in my profile, the option tells me I need to contact support. I assume I need to have a skype account? If so how do I tie this up with my subscription.. Thanks

Hi, Leigh3ann, and welcome to the Community,
Please try this:
Un-link your Skype account from your Microsoft account: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12211/how-do-i-unlink-my-skype-account-from-my-microsoft-or-faceb... if you run into trouble, please see here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12209/what-should-i-do-if-i-can-t-unlink-my-skype-and-microsoft-o...
Download the Skype for Windows Desktop version of the software, where you will be able to sign on to Skype using your Skype account. The Skype "Modern" version permits a log-in only using a Microsoft account.
Kind regards,
Elaine

New kindle fire hd no skype?

Just opened m kindle and it cant find skype. amazon app store returns no results. it shows in downloads in my account but not on the device any tips?

All we can do is contact Amazon and Skype. Amazon is tracking all the people with the same incident. Keep contacting both parties. The more people who report and persist that a resolution must happen, the higher the priority, and with more resources, then the incident will get resolved. Post on this forum. Post on Amazon. Review Amazon Kindle citing the problem so it will post and get more exposure. More people may report their problem as well. Consumers have a right to know about problems before making a major purchase.

Kindle fire and tool bar

Just got kindle and can't find tool bar in Doyle to use video. Help please

That is normal. The developer has to enable this, Amazon has chosen not to.

Kindle Fire - Skype won't sign in

Hi hope someone can help, I sideloaded Skype to my kindle fire and installed it, however, it just keeps saying 'signing in' and nothing else happens. I only want voice calls, so the video is immaterial. If some kind soul could give me some advice I would be very grateful.

Try to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.
