Need help-posting with Kindle Fire?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey gang!

I am in the hospital and will probably be here another day or two. I am posting this with my I-phone.

I have a Kindle Fire but can't figure out how to post in the message body. I tap it but virtual keyboard does not come up nor a cursor.

 

I am hoping someone in here might have one and know? Posting here in general forum as it gets the most traffic and hoping I can find out ASAP. It is much easier for these old eyes to see the Kindle with these old eyes.

 

Thanks for any help!

Thanks !

I found I thought a way to install Chrome but could not get it to install. I will just stick to the iPhone have spent too much time trying to get it already.

 

Hopefully I will get to go home soon.

 

Thanks ,

Hope you get to go home soon, dburnette.

Thanks guys, they released me a bit ago and the wife just got me home. Whew, been in there since Sunday AM not fun.

Abdominal issues, but looks like all will be ok - still taking antibiotics and strong pain meds, will be at home the rest of the week...

 

Now I can see what I am doing on this screen :)

This 27" monitor seems so huge now after having used the i-Phone for the last three days.

Thanks Jag, yes it would too bad early access not open at this time - though with the pain meds I am on currently, my flying might be pretty rough :).

Glad you are home dburnette.  Hope all goes well.

I am sending this from my Kindle Fire!

If you tap in the reply box you should get the keyboard up..you should then be able to type in the box and with a bit of manoeuvring of the screen find the "post" button. This is using the Silk browser.

I had some probs myself to start with.

Having said which I hope you don't find yourself in a position where you have to use it from hospital again!

Wow, that is wild sallee, I never could get mine to work.

Whenever I would click any time in the message box, the keyboard would never come up.

Only time I could get was if I clicked on new post and the title box, never would in the message box...

 

I would not mind getting it figured out, as I travel a lot and would be nice to use it to check here when I am on the road.

 

Edit: Trying it here from home, still nothing - when I tap in the reply box, nothing happens - strange...

Weird!

 

Is yours the Kindle Fire, or the Kindle Fire HD?

Mine is the Kindle Fire.

Not that should make any difference, just strange works for you and not for me - don't think I could be doing anything wrong...

Just a Kindle Fire.

Mystery to me...but then, so much is!

Nothing helpful in the 42 pages of threads on the Amazon Kindle forum I'm afraid!
