Hello Farid,

I'm Murali from Amazon.com, Fire Phone support team.

I understand that you'd like to know when our Fire phone take a new update about fire os 5.

I regret to inform you that at this time we don't have any information in this regard. I completely agree this would be a great option, Even I'm waiting for the Fire Phone update of fire os 5.

I am so happy that you took the time to bring this to our attention! As you might have noticed, we are carefully reviewing potential features to add to the Fire phone in the upcoming months. Audible started out just like this one, a suggestion that someone thought would be a helpful ability! I have personally forwarded your message up to our Development team to see what we can do.

Have a great week Farid ! Let us know if you come up with anything else!

"Happy New Year"

Hello,

I understand you are inquiring about Fire OS 5.0 for your Fire Phone.

I'd like to bring to your kind attention that last week we have released 4.6.6 OS for locked version Fire Phones. As we've recently released the software version, it will take some time for the Fire Phones to get 5.0 OS.

We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.

About more information about recent Fire Phone software version, you can visit the below link:
[Amazon Fire Phone] hastings101:
Their staff supposedly gave some accidental misformation in the HDX Fire OS 5 thread, so you might not take them too seriously. Amazon is just being polite and clueless as always. We'll probably not see Fire 5, or at least not for quite a while
[Amazon Fire Phone] MahmudS:
developer.amazon.com doesn't have any information about FireOS 5 for Fire Phone, so I think we won't receive FireOS 5.
[Amazon Fire Phone] suarez90:
The fact that amazon lost so much money on the fire phone and was basically giving them away, means that it would not be a beneficial business strategic to allocate time and resources into development and updates for the Fire Phone. I wouldn't be surprised if we never receive OS 5, I've lost all hopes and moved on.
[Amazon Fire Phone] 3y3k3y:
I wouldn't be surprised either, but since we got an update last week it seems people at Amazon are still working on it.

But yes, FOS5 is a major step and takes a lot of resources... I would say, if it not happens until March, it will never come.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ulises.rodriguez:
Since the Amazon Fire Phone has received an 4.6.6 update last week, it seems that Amazon's Technical Department is still working on corrections of current FireOS of the Fire Phone.*

I agree FireOS5, is a major step and could take a lot of resources...

However remember that the FireOS5 is already available and working very well, on others Amazon's Fire Tablets and FireTVs units, so I really think that may be Amazon will only have to adapt this FireOS5 to work on the Fire Phone Hardware.

What I am saying is that it would not be the same if Amazon would had to make the FireOS5 from scratch!

I would say that as so many loyal to Amazon customers bought Fire Phone, Amazon is almost forced to release this new FireOS5 update, just to keep happy and satisfied all these loyal customers.
[Amazon Fire Phone] theprov:
So it does exist. (picture taken from "laidbackcloud" user's post)
[Amazon Fire Phone] ulises.rodriguez:
Please Could you post the picture again?
[Amazon Fire Phone] MPbn80:
5.5.4.700 is the version number of the Amazon Shopping app built in to the phone os. Not sure why or how that is showing up as a system update.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
True. Amazon is more or less on schedule with the release of Fire OS 5. The new "Fire TV Game Controller" requires Fire OS 5 and that means...

These two "old" devices will receive the update sometime next month, so they can spend the rest of the year with bug fixing & porting FOS 5 to the Fire Phone. :fingers-crossed: ;)

Fire OS 5 will come to Fire Phone Sooner or Later!!!

Hello XDA Users!

I just talked with Amazon about Fire OS 5, and they said it would for sure come to Fire Phone and other devices. Amazon even said there are people still working on the Fire Phone. Unfortunately, they don't know when the update would come to Fire Phone, but they said RIGHT NOW they are releasing it ONLY to Fire HD devices as well as the Fire HDX 8.9. They are releasing them in batches they said. Fire OS 5 may most probably come in 2016!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
I think we should start a pool for all of the eternal optimists who actually believe they are getting useful intel out of Amazon CS with their vague promises that "they are working on it", "passing our concerns on to the developers", or that "it's definitely coming but can't tell us when".

$5 buys you one calendar date in 2016 or an entry for no formal release. Standard rules apply:

1) Pacific Time Zone applies (Amazon headquarters)

2) Must be an official Amazon build (no leaks or engineering builds)

3) Whoever guesses closest without going over wins (i.e. if you guess 6/30 and it comes out on 6/29, you lose unless nobody picked a date earlier than 6/30)

4) Pot split evenly between all ties - no fancy tie breakers.

5) Pot awarded upon SW version 5.0 or later release or on Jan 1, 2017 if no release.

My $5 is in for no release.

Anyone else want to play?
[Amazon Fire Phone] dark_prince:
I'm inclined towards no Fire OS 5 for Fire Phone. While they are giving shady statements, I don't think that the phone they sold for crap will get further endorsements from them.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
My thoughts are they aren't going to be devoted to continued updates if they release LP for it, which might mean they won't do it. HOWEVER, it's unlikely their devices will get the M update which MIGHT mean now is the time to beg since I believe the last of the 5.0 updates have been rolled out to all their devices.

Imho, they won't want to continue updating this phone and if they give it an official update they may be obligated to do so after. BUT perhaps they'd be more likely now to hand over source code now that the team's work load should be lower. Also, if I were one of the people who spent over $500 on this phone I'd be pissed at amazon. It might be a tiny PR gesture, and maybe that's how you frame the request?

I just REALLY hope they do what's right.
[Amazon Fire Phone] madmaxxxxx:

[Amazon Fire Phone] :
They would never hand over the source, even if the team was staring holes into the walls. ;)

For them it's: protect your "assets" at all times.

It would reveal way too much and they would be forced to take a completely different approach to "secure" devices released in the future.

Very true, unfortunately.

It's "nice" that they followed through with the 4.6.6 update... but if they would release Fire OS 5, they "kinda" have to admit to maintaining it as well...

... and that's unlikely, since this "amazing piece of technology" took a nice little dump all over Jeffy Bs balance sheet. ^^

That being said, my $5 is in for a release on September 1, 2016. :laugh:

Comments:Hello Amazon,

I wanted to ask, is there a possible way to unlock the bootloader of the Fire Phone? I have been patiently waiting for Fire OS 5 for Fire Phone, but there is no update. So is there a possible way Amazon can give a bootloader unlock so we can install latest os? Is Fire OS 5 coming FOR SURE to Fire Phone? Will the update come in 2016?

Sincerely,

Madame Mayor
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
OK, New Rule: If you're going to post the same generic "Response from Amazon", you first have to put in your $5 with your predicted release date..

Honestly folks, repeatedly posting the same canned response from Amazon doesn't help anyone. We get it. Amazon is neither confirming nor denying Fire OS 5 will come to our phones. Some will read it with optimism that they haven't closed the door, while others will take the pessimistic stand that they simply aren't willing to man up and admit support has ended. Regardless of your personal bent, the email responses will not change prior to a formal announcement. How many more times do you want to kick a dead horse?

Been away from the fire phone for the past 10 months but got a new one cheap.... I mean cheap. I don't think people realise what they've got.

About the source code. Can no one get access direct to their feeder servers? Rip it from the source itself?

From what I can read in to their response, they seem to enknowledge there is 1.

Its not hard to adapt their fos versions for other devices. Maybe its the keep up with other phone tech and features but surely that comes in lollipop itself or is that with Google features?

I'm happy to wait

Hey guys, I'm wondering is the keyboard of Z4 tablet can click and drag while in Microsoft Excel? Anyone got the keyboard already? Thanks in advanced!
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] striekes:
I would be interested in this too.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] firetech:
Now I don't know for sure, but having used another tablet with keyboard and touchpad (Asus TF700T), I imagine that the touchpad will not add any special features you can't already do with your finger on the touchscreen. If you have a Bluetooth or USB mouse (and, in the latter case, a USB OTG adapter), you can see how the tablet reacts to mouse/touchpad inputs.

Basically, Android adds a mouse pointer (which is basically just a position indicator that the underlying apps don't know/care about), and clicking and dragging is exactly the same as tapping and dragging with your finger. Also, the touchpad on my TF700T had two-finger scrolling, which imitated dragging on the screen from where the mouse pointer was, I could even unlock my pattern lock using two-finger scrolling on the touchpad.

So, if you can "click and drag" in Excel using your finger, you should be able to do it with the touchpad as well. Just don't expect the keyboard/touchpad to implement new features or use cases, because it probably won't.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] tonylee2000:
the short answer to this one is "Yes". There are no mouse button as such but by double tspping or pressing on the touchpad, it does the same thing as a left mouse button does. On the Sony keyboard if you hold the touchpd down with one finger and drag with another, it works.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] fishman8:
drag anything with two finger on the touchpad.

I know that this post is almost 1 year old, but the BKB50 keyboard's touchpad can click. I mean, if you press on it, it clicks.
