Description: How to transfer iTunes movies to Kindle Fire HDX? Follow our tips to get rid of DRM protection and record your iTunes video to Kindle Fire HDX.

Amazon’s tablet lineup for 2013 is now complete, following the release of the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, a bigger version of the new 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX that launched last month.

Big Screen, Light Bodyfor get movie more portable on it

I’ve grown to become more accustomed to the tiny tablets, but in this case, I like the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 a little better than the 7-inch model. It has all the same design schemes, but it’s incredibly light for a full-sized tablet. At 0.82 pounds, it’s only slightly heavier than Apple’s iPad Mini with Retina display, and noticeably lighter than the new one-pound iPad Air.That’s my favorite part about the tablet. It gives you the full-sized experience, yet it’s light enough to use anywhere — in bed, on the couch, on the train — without feeling the weighty burden of other big tablets. Yes, part of the reason why the HDX 8.9 is lighter than the iPad Air is because it’s slightly smaller, but I didn’t miss the extra 0.8 inches of screen. That’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

And the screen is gorgeous. It’s technically sharper than the one on the iPad, but you probably won’t notice a difference. One study said the Kindle Fire HDX has the best screen of any tablet. (I think the screen is great, but I’m not about to go through and count every pixel like others have. Just know you’ll be happy with it.) Just like other high-res displays these days, images, text, and graphics look like they’re printed on the glass. Movies, games, and everything else look great.

amazon kindle fire hdx Helpful Tips and Tricks for Kindle Fire HDX

Before we get started, here’s how to take a screenshot on the Kindle Fire HD. You may also want to check out our Kindle Fire HDX problems and solutions.

Updated on 10-28-2013[b] by Simon Hill:[/b] Made a lot of updates to the article to address the newly launched Kindle Fire HDX tablets, added how to use Mayday feature and how to add ebooks as well.How to use Mayday on the Kindle Fire HDX

kindle fire mayday Helpful Tips and Tricks for Kindle Fire HDXOne major difference between the HDX tablets and everything else on the market speaks to Amazon’s commitment to customer service. Your first port of call for any Kindle Fire HDX issue is going to be the built-in Mayday feature. It will connect you to an Amazon representative who can potentially access your tablet and fix any problems that you have encountered. Just swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the Mayday icon at the top right (it looks like a life preserver and it’s clearly labeled). You should see a pop-up window with an Amazon advisor inside it within a few seconds. You’ll be able to see them, but don’t worry, they can’t see you. They’ll also have to ask permission before they can access anything potentially personal on your tablet.How to add ebooks

The Kindle Fire HD and HDX support various ebook formats. The proprietary Amazon Kindle AZW format is best, but KF8, TXT, PDF, or unprotected MOBI files will all work as well. If you want to add ebooks to your Kindle Fire HDX from outside of Amazon, then just download them in a supported format, and put them in your Books folder, and they’ll appear under your Books tab. You can use a free app like ES File Explorer to move files around on your tablet.

If you have a collection of ebooks on your computer, or you can only find an ebook you want in an unsupported format, then you should grab the free Calibre software. It can be used to convert your ebooks into the AZW or MOBI format.How to get rid of ads

The temptation of that rock bottom price tag may have persuaded you to opt for the “With Special Offers” version of the Kindle Fire HDX. That’s simply Amazon’s way of describing advertisements and if you find yourself getting sick of them quickly, you are not alone.

You can get rid of the “special offers” by shelling out $15. Go to Amazon, sign into your account, and go to Manage Your Devices. Under Special Offers click Edit, click next to Subscribed, click next to the device, and then review the price and click Unsubscribe.

You can also turn off recommendations by going to Settings > Applications > Amazon Home Recommendations and set to Hide.How to install apps from outside Amazon’s Appstore

One turn off with the Kindle Fire HDX is the fact that you don’t have Google Play access on your device and are limited to the choice of apps and games in the Amazon Appstore. There are over 700,000 apps out there for Android, but only a small proportion of them are in the Amazon Appstore and it doesn’t include Google’s apps. You could root your device, but you’ll void the warranty and there is a better way. Before you enable installation of apps from other sources, you should consider installing a good Android security app.

Pull down the notifications bar and hit More to access Settings > Device and then set Allow Installation of Applications From unknown sources to On. You can now sideload APK files onto the device. You can download them to your desktop and copy them over or send them by email, or you can just go direct to websites that stock APK files on your Kindle Fire HDX. Check out our list of alternative Android app stores for some places to start.

If you have an Android phone or another device with access to Google Play, you can download the apps and games you want to that device, and then back them up and copy them over to your PC using a file explorer app. You can then Allow Installation of Applications on your Kindle Fire HDX and install something like the free ES File Explorer app. Copy them over to your Kindle Fire HDX from the PC and then use the file explorer to find them and install them. You can also use DropBox to easily share APK files wirelessly.How to lock screen rotation

kindle fire hdx front videos Helpful Tips and Tricks for Kindle Fire HDXYour Kindle Fire HDX screen should rotate automatically when you turn the device and flick between portrait and landscape. Some apps have a locked orientation in one mode or the other. You can also lock the orientation yourself. Pull down the notifications bar and tap the Locked orUnlocked option at the top left of the Quick Settings.How to enable security and parental controls

You can enable basic security for your device by setting up a lock screen password. Simply pull down the notifications bar and hit More > Security and turn Lock Screen Password to On, then pick the password you want and hit Finish. You can also set up more security to block access to specific content, restrict purchases, set up different profiles, or even set time controls by using the parental controls. They give you a fine degree of control over the device.

Basic Parental Controls can be found in the same Settings menu via More in Quick Settings when you pull down the notifications bar, but this will set controls for the device whoever is using it.

If you want more fine control and multiple user accounts, go into your apps and fire up Kindle FreeTime. You’ll find a host of options to carefully control your child’s access to content on the device, but you could also use it to set up a guest profile and keep some of the Kindle Fire HDX off limits for other people.How to watch Kindle Fire HD content on your HDTV

One advantage the Kindle Fire HD has over the Nexus 7 is the ability to plug it into your HDTV with the right cable. You can then watch some content on your big TV. Be warned, though, that some services like Hulu Plus or HBO Go will not allow you to output content from the Kindle Fire HD to a TV.

Buy a Micro HDMI to HDMI cable like this one, which is only $9 and plug it in.

The Kindle Fire HDX doesn’t support an HDMI cable connection like this, but there is a feature called Second Screen coming in November, which will allow you to share content via Wi-Fi. Your Kindle Fire HDX will serve as a second screen for additional information and as a remote control, while the content plays on your compatible Samsung TV or PlayStation 3. Support for thePlayStation 4 is reportedly in the works, but that’s it for now. We’ll update you with full details on how to use it when this feature goes live.How to install Flash

If you want to be able watch Flash videos, you’ll need to jump through a few hoops. The native Silk browser does not support Flash, so you’ll need a new browser as well.

Go to More via the notifications bar and tap Device. Then turn Installation of Applications From unknown sources to On. Now you’ll need a file explorer app, ES File Explorer is free. Find Dolphin HD and Flash Player APK files online. Now load the APK files onto your Kindle Fire HDX, use the file explorer to find them and tap to install starting with Dolphin and then Flash Player.How to get more storage

If the 16GB or 32GB of built in storage isn’t enough then you can expand your space with cloud services or even hardware. You can get 5GB for free with Amazon Cloud Drive. Music you have bought through Amazon should be available via the Amazon Cloud Player, but you can use the Amazon Music Importer found here to upload some of your own music (250 songs for free).

You could also try another cloud service like DropBox, SugarSync, or Box. You could even consider buying an external hard drive like the Kingston Wi-Drive which also has a companion Android app to install on your Kindle Fire HD.How to access the camera on Kindle Fire HD

You’ll notice that the front-facing camera is available if you start up Skype or some other apps like Evernote and Facebook, but is also possible to use it without them. If you have installed the free ES File Explorer app discussed above then you can go to AppMgr > Category > System apps > Camera and tap Open to get access to normal camera, panorama and video options.How to root your Kindle Fire HD

If you do decide to smash out of Amazon’s walled garden then you’ll be voiding your warranty, but it will also allow you to access lots of extra content and tweak the device in ways that are impossible with an unrooted Kindle Fire HD. There is always some risk involved in rooting so make sure that you follow instructions to the letter if you’re going to give it a try (it’s not very difficult really). The best place to go for advice and guides on rooting is undoubtedly XDA Developers. You’ll also find APK files and customized ROMs there.More Kindle Fire HDX tips

What is a pity is that Kindle Fire HDX doesn’t add support for Google apps. So here offers you some tips and trick for the way for installing Google Apps on the Kindle Fire HDX. Just get the solution now.

 

Kindle Fire tablets HDX 7 and 8.9 inches, are a real bargain considering the provision incorporating hardware. The cons always come from the so closed software for your operating system modified. Although we install most existing Android applications, the applications Google are not. An Android enthusiast has been able to bring Gmail, Play Music, Google Maps, YouTube, Chrome and other applications. Kindle Fire HDX sports a high resolution screen, a very fast processor, and generally excellent media abilities, but one thing it lacks is support for Google apps.

Luckily for us Amazon still lets users install apps downloaded from sites other than the Amazon Appstore, because one blogger going by Android Cowboy has found a way to add Gmail and a few other Google apps to Amazon’s tablet.

His trick is similar to the hack which let me install Gmail, Google Reader, and other Google apps on the Kindle Fire HD last year. He’s gotten Gmail, Google Play Books, Chrome, and Google Search working on the Fire HDX, but at this point Google Play Store and Google+ still don’t work.

kindle fire HDX google apps How to Install Google Apps on the Kindle Fire HDX

Here’s how you do it.

First, you’ll need a file manager or some other way to access the install files on your Kindle Fire HDX. Amazon won’t let you do this via their setup, unfortunately, so I recommend that you head over to this post and install the 5 apps I suggested for the Kindle Fire HD. Or you could skip that and install ES File Explorer, an app which you can find in the Amazon Appstore on your Fire HDX.

Download the following files and transfer to your Kindle via USB connection to your PC. I suggest that you copy them to the “download” folder of the Kindle Fire HDX; it will be the easiest to find again.

Open the ES File explorer app and then open the download folder. Select and installGoogle Account Manager.
If you are prompted by a warning that app installs are blocked, follow the prompts to go to the settings menu and change the appropriate setting. Then go back to ES File explorer and try to install Google Account Manager again.
Reboot your Kindle Fire HDX by pressing and holding the power button and then selecting the shutdown option. Then restart it.

Install Google Services Framework.
Reboot.
Install Google Play Services.
Reboot.
Install Gmail.
Reboot.

At this point you should be able to open the Gmail app and log in to your account. You can ignore any warning messages.

Once you’ve logged into your Gmail account you can then download and install other Google apps. If you need help finding the apps, check out the 1Mobile app store. That is one of the better sources of free apps, including reading apps, utilities, and even Google apps.

Last year I reported on a similar trick which let me add Google apps to the Kindle Fire HD, but unfortunately it turned out to be less useful than I had hoped. The Kindle Fire HD (2012) didn’t support notifications and running Google apps in the background, and as a result some apps (Gmail, for example) would only check for new content when they were open.

I am concerned that the HDX might have the same issue. I’d love to hear back from anyone who tries this. How well did it work? Hope it helps~

This article gives the difference between Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD.

Amazon has announced that the new Kindle Fire tablets are now available in the UK, following US launch in September, bringing you all the goodness of Amazon in a glossy new device. It’s going under the name Kindle Fire HDX, with that X, you guessed it, meaning it’s packing in more pixels on that display.

kindle fire hdx and kindle fire hd difference Kindle Fire HDX vs Kindle Fire HD: Whats the difference?

At the same time, Amazon has updated the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD for 2013, while the 8.9-inch Fire HD launched earlier in the year remains untouched.

In this array of Kindle Fire HDs and HDXs, some new, some not, what’s the real difference? With this latest update, what is Amazon changing and should you hold fire, or charge right in?

Displays

The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX comes in two sizes: 7-inch and 8.9-inch, offering a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution display (323ppi) on the 7-inch and 2560 x 1600 (339ppi) on the 8.9-inch. At that resolution, the 8.9-inch HDX has the sharpest display around, while the new 7-inch HDX matches the Nexus 7 (2013) for pixels.

The Kindle Fire HD (2013) – that’s the new version – has a 7-inch 1280 x 800 (216ppi) display, whilst the Fire HD 8.9-inch has a 1920 x 1200 (254ppi) display. Naturally, the higher pixel density displays of the HDX will give you more detail, with the 8.9-inch HDX looking like the real star in the pack.

Power and battery

The Kindle Fire HDX models have a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, the same sort of thing as you’ll find in the LG G2 or Samsung Galaxy Note 3. That means oodles of power on offer on both the 7-inch and 8.9-inch models, both with 2GB of RAM.

The Kindle Fire HD models both at 7 and 8.9-inches settle for a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. The HDX will be faster, but Amazon also reports that the Kindle Fire HDX will offer slightly longer battery life. Not bad considering the step-up in display and power. It’s aided by a new software feature designed for reading, which shuts down non-essential hardware to extend the battery to 17 hours if reading alone.

Cameras

The camera isn’t the most important part of a tablet in our opinion, but you still see a large number of people using them to take photos: the Kindle Fire range hasn’t had a rear camera until now. The Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 has a rear 8-megapixel camera, as well as a front-facing camera.

Both the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and the new Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch offer front-facing cameras, while the new 7-inch Kindle Fire HD (2013) has no camera at all.

Connectivity

Kindle is known for being well connected and the wide range of clever features, like Whispersync, that come with it. The new 7-inch Kindle Fire HD (2013) is the only model without the option for 4G. It also misses out on the dual-antenna Wi-Fi that the others offer. If connectivity is key, so you might want to avoid the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD and pick one of the others.

Software

The Kindle Fire HDX and 7-inch Kindle Fire HD (2013) debut with the latest Fire OS3 software. The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 doesn’t have that update and there’s no word on if it will.

Fire OS3 brings a range of features to the Kindle Fire HD and HDX family, including a new Mayday button for instant customer service support, second screen features, better touch response, X-Ray for music, a new reading mode that powers down hardware that’s not needed to extend the battery life and much more.

Size and weight

Weight is an important factor for tablets, especially if you’re going to be lying in bed holding it while watching Breaking Bad on Netflix.
