The masquerade is a good thing. It lets you see apps on the market that would normally not be viewable, but still work fine on the Kindle Fire.

The issue you are having has really nothing to do with that, and all to do with the fact that you are rooted.

When the Amazon Video app runs (and it basically runs all the time), it looks to see if su is on the device and if it finds it, it will say you can't watch the videos.

You can fix this by using OTA RootKeeper (which you can now see in the Market) and using it to temporarily "un-root". Basically, it moves the su binary to a place that the Amazon Video app doesn't see.

o Get the OTA RootKeeper App https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper and install it.

o Using it, click on the button that says unroot

o Now go to Settings -> Applications -> Running applications and find Amazon Video.

o Click on Force Close

Now you can use the Amazon Video app to watch your videos. After you start Amazon Video and run a video, you can go back and re-Root using OTA Rootkeeper and as long as you don't reboot your device, the Amazon Video will continue work fine as it only looks when it starts.
[Kindle Fire General] bbc0:
How should the options be set in OTA root keeper? I have it installed, but not sure which boxes should be checked.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Just press the unroot button... nothing else.

i ve done due with guide in #4 but when i trying buy free movie to check how is working this trick , message are displayed there was an error and your order may not have been processed ... should i try with chcanged proxy settings to us one?

running on 6.2.1 stock rooted
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
The steps in post #4 kind of assume that you had the ability to play and purchase Amazon Videos before you rooted. It is dealing with the Amazon Video app not allowing you to play content you already have available to you via your Amazon account.

You are talking about getting content for your Amazon Account.

Not being outside of the US, I'm not in that position, but I've read that in order to purchase content outside of the US you need to use a US credit card on your one click purchase options for your Amazon Account.

I'm sure that others outside the US that have done this can chime in.
[Kindle Fire General] bbc0:
It definitely rejects a non US credit card but I am not sure if there is a way around this. Not trying to steal anything, just want to buy it. Too bad they don't accept Paypal.

After downloading, in 'settings there are 4 boxes,

device rooted which has a check mark

Root permission granted -- unchecked

File system supports root protection -- checked

Protected SU copy available --unchecked.

Is this the way it should be?

My fire is rooted and running MIUI.

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
You are in the wrong thread if you are using MIUI... This is a thread about Gr5 (6.2.2) - MoDaCo Custom ROM

don't know if it works with MIUI at all.

OTA Rootkeeper should look like:
[Kindle Fire General] bbc0:
Sorry. Does OTA Rootkeeper only work with Modaco? I thought it was a pretty general app.
[Kindle Fire General] Bmcd37:
Thanks everyone

I downloaded OTA Rootkeeper, set it up, unrooted and the Amazon Prime Videos started flowing!

OTA Rootkeeper is just what I needed.
[Kindle Fire General] Bmcd37:
OTA Rootkeeper is ROM independent

I just happen to be using MaDaCo GR6 for my Kindle Fire. It's been a breeze getting my Kindle rooted and taking advantage of the Android Universe.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
No, it works with a lot of roms and devices. However, whether it will work to allow you to use Amazon Video when using the MIUI rom, you would need to check with a MIUI thread which is why I said that. They would be able to give you a more accurate idea if you can do that with that rom. I've never tried MIUI.

I know that on some roms, Amazon Videos won't work regardless of what you do to view paid and account accessible videos.

As for OTA Rootkeeper, Even on the Kindle Fire, it doesn't work the same as it does on other devices where in some cases, it can actually prevent an OTA update from removing root (hence the name). That part of it doesn't work on the Kindle Fire since the OTA updates wipe the /system directory completely when they update.

With the stock roms and roms which uses stock like setups, OTA Rootkeeper works good for hiding being rooted by the Amazon Video app.
[Kindle Fire General] bbc0:
good explanation. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] theannihilator:
how does the masquerade work. I registered my kindle to the app market after installing gr6 but it still shows up as a kindle... where do i go to change that?

thanks
[Kindle Fire General] Bmcd37:
How do you know that it's showing up as a Kindle? I know it's probably a dumb question, but where do you look to see what the Market sees your device as?
[Kindle Fire General] theannihilator:
market.android.com

login

market account

settings

but i already found my answer. i did a market search for tesla led (device specific led program apparently) it showed up with the gr6 rom but not with cm7/9 and stock roms.
[Kindle Fire General] theannihilator:
but honestly I prefer GR6 to cm7/9. I like cm9 better than cm7 due to the fact cm9 is closer to vanilla than cm7 but it would be better if it had galaxy tab mask on the android market

Shouldn't it download correctly at least one out of seven times?

Ok, so last night I started getting "sms problems" and wouldnt let me send a text.

Today I sent out texts and for each person it displays a msg icon with a clock above it...though that icon is only on the texts I tried sending today, not other ones from the previous days...I havent received any texts back and even tried sending a msg to myself and havent received it...ahhh! anyone know whats going on? My phone keeps freezing for moments toooo..tried updating the OTA and it wont appear now. siggggh
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I have had texts do that when I lost network signal and it usually asks if you want to resend. Are you not getting the failed message ? Stock rom , custom rom ? Hard to say if something went wrong with a rom installation or if your just experiencing network issues ..
[HTC Rezound] not2gutta:
I restarted the phone and that seems to have fixed the issue...though now I am confused because when it powered back up, it downloaded the firmware, made a noise, and that was it. No reset or anything. So idk if the update is complete or not..when I hit "check new" it does nothing. The phone is stock, not rooted or anything.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I actually had to go back and run the update again, because for some reason even when it rebooted it didn't take . Go to settings , software update and search new again and see if it asks you if you want to update again and rerun it.
[HTC Rezound] not2gutta:
Hmm it'll only let me see the status.. nothing happens when I click check new...and the status shows yesterdays date explaining the New update but no options to proceed or anything..

Looks like a good buy just wana know if anyone had bought this and liked it?:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jsapp:
Looks like the one I bought from Best Buy. I like it, the only thing that I would warn about is that the phone can be a little difficult to take out. It doesn't want to just snap out like it should.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobkoure:
I have one. It holds the phone very well, but only without a case; absolutely no worries about the phone coming loose, and the phone doesn't bounce or vibrate, so the image is always quite readable. The only possible downside is that you might find the arm a bit short if you're driving a vehicle where the windshield is far forward, but then there's the adhesive disc, although I wouldn't want to go sticking some disk permanently to the dash of *my* car.

Leaving the charger and audio cables connected to the dock is very handy.

The phone recognizes that it's in a dock right away. There are a number of car dock launchers available (I like CarHome Ultra) as well as a car-specific voice mode.

The auto-plug charger that comes with the dock seems OK, but if you're using Navigator plus Pandora, your run-down battery won't get charged. I have yet to experiment with other high-amperage car chargers; seems like all the ones I have don't have USB conductors 2 and 3 shorted together, so they're pretty useless for this until I crack 'em open and solder.

I keep mine in a Toyota MR2 MK2 (little car) mounted at the bottom left of the windshield, and it's basically perfect there.

Oh -
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] myunitisz:
Have it on my crv I can't live without it. Its easy to put in. Audio and charges are usable with one push. If you go caseless and are going to keep the phone for a while the price Is definetly worth it. Third party ones make you manually plug in charger and headphone Jack this makes it way more convienent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pregistry:
It's pretty unfortunate that it doesn't work with any case though...too bad they didn't make a case combo that would fit that mount specifically.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] YourAntic:
for the price you can get other mounts that are so much better, look at Micro Center
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dirty Pete:
For what it's worth, I have the Samsung OEM car dock as well and I absolutely love it. One thing I've found, though, is that the phone will occasionally go nuts thinking that I've pushed the button for voice recognition. It'll endless loop repeating "What would you like to do?" until I close out of the car launcher.

Not sure if this happens on the stock OS, I have Synergy+Bombardier loaded on it (rooted.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rob010:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Paterfamilias:
How to disable car mode for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 / SII T989 Hercules car dock

This is mostly useful if you use Bluetooth audio for your car stereo. This method renders your car dock's USB audio-out jack useless, and you would have to use the phone's headphone jack for an audio cable (untested, since I use Bluetooth audio). The only thing I want a dock to do is hold my phone and charge it. I automate the rest myself. Proceed at your own risk...

Car Mode Ultra is great for overriding your stock car mode, but I wanted to disable it entirely. I didn't like adding another layer of car modes and letting them wrestle for control.

Anyway, since I couldn't find a way to 100% disable the stock car mode software, I did it in the hardware (in the car dock itself).

On the back of the sliding part of the dock, take off the two small stickers and remove the screws under them. Carefully pry the slide apart at the seam to reveal the circuit board inside. Remove the tiny resistor between pads D- and ID. No more car mode!

Apparently, no more charging, either. Or at least not enough current to keep up. Maybe the car mode resistor tells the phone to charge at a higher rate, I'm not sure. Either way, the next step gets the charging to work again, but first, there's a warning:

If you don't want to burn your car down, make sure you have at least a 1 amp (1000ma) rated charger for this next part, otherwise, don't do it. This step increases you charge rate from 500ma to about 800ma (some people with custom ROMs go even higher). If you do this, and your charger isn't powerful enough, it could fry your charger. I have no idea what your charger will do if it fries. Maybe nothing, maybe light your car on fire. If you're not sure about it, don't do it.

On the side of the printed circuit board opposite the audio jack, there are two pads labeled A/R and AL/D. Shorting them to each other will put your phone into "AC charge mode", which means higher charge rate, no USB data, and no USB audio out. Now reassemble the dock.

With Car Mode Ultra and NFC task launcher installed, you can do all kinds of cool stuff. I set Car Mode Ultra to activate upon connecting to the stereo's Bluetooth. This starts the program without activating stock car mode. I stuck an NFC tag on the back of my dock for even more automation. Bluetooth turns on Car Mode Ultra, which unlocks the screen, which enables NFC, which reads the tag, which toggles more settings, starts Pandora, etc. Pretty cool. Full automation.

I live south of Seattle in Auburn, I'm lucky if I get any 4G at all. The only place I've ever gotten 4G was at my old work, and the signal was so weak I would have to be parked in a certain area for it to work. Other than that the only other place I've gotten 4G is at the Sprint store. Sprint should have thought it this whole 4G thing out before releasing it and charging customers the stupid $10 fee. They may say it's due to the fact that our "Smartphones" are on the network all the time, but I call bs because this didn't happen till 4G phones came out on the market. It also doesn't help that I have to use an Airave to get any connection...so basically I'm paying for the better signal (my broadband) and getting charge $10 for nothing.

Just because or do you have an issue with your device?

Sprint does not just give exchanges once the device becomes EOL.

Now if you have an issue with the device and have insurance they will replace with either the same device (if in stock) or one of similar likeness.

Sprint and Asurion do have different stocks, so if sprint has to replace the phone you may get something different than if asurion replaces it.
