[Q] Amazon App Store - Unable to Sign In

Anyone unable to sign into the Amazon App Store? I just got my Infuse 4G and installed the latest from Amazon's download URL.
When I sign it, I get:
There was a temporary error signing you in. Please try again in a few moments.
My only option at this point is to press OK.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing the app's data and trying, and confirming my credentials work on their web site. I can browse the store, but I just cannot sign in.

kid, you need to do learn google!

Is your phone rooted if so what rom are you using?

Thanks!
Thanks! Solved the issue that I was having trying to get into the Amazon App store. The funny thing was it kept asking for a Valid e-mail and password, instead of letting me know I had too many devices registered. Also other Amazon sites (such as their Android MP3 player) worked fine.

Lenovo App store not installing?

I'm trying to update some apps from lenovo app store (Notes mobile, gmail, kindle etc) and everytime I start downloading it, the notification shows then the whole screen goes black and then app store crashes.
Any ideas?
I bought it used, factory reset it, updated to 0089_US.

Exact same problem here.
Have you found a fix?

Same problem with this built-in Lenovo App shop apk - black screen after trying a download. Contacted their support (mobihand) and a TSA sends me the update files for download.
This is the way I do updates until I discovered this workaround:
Access directly to their website: http://www.lenovoappshop.com/
login to your account and check the apks needing updates and send it to my email for downloading.
This worked for all apks except for the Gmail apk (parsing problem).
Hope this helps.

The lenovo app store went out of business while back leaving the customers stranded. Type alternative android app markets into Google search an in the first few forums you should find lists of free app market that will work on device. I use slideme an Amazon app markets, an a few others. Hope this helps you.

HBO GO on Nexus Player (APK) & Testing.

Hi Guys,
Recently HBO GO was released for Fire TV (Source:http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=1999513), this version should have support for various remotes and thus if anyone could pull the APK I would very grateful along with many other HBO Watchers. You probably have to be rooted to obtain the APK so keep this in mind.
EDIT: APK has been pulled - download here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57527277&postcount=3
Thanks Guys,
Keep up the Good Stuff
CURRENT STATUS: APP Installs - Navigation works - Video fails to Load or Loads Endlessly

Yes I was able to activate by choosing Amazon Fire TV - though now I am encountering Video Error every so often which is annoying but meh better than nothing...

I managed to get a few videos started but yer now it seems they all cut off straight away - Do you reckon its to do with device activation?
- Also it is so laggy and slow is this the same on Fire TV? (Like in the UI - maybe missing some of the required libs to run properly)
EDIT: It always plays the intro "It's HBO GO" with Rating, however never successfully retrieves content I guess there is some sort of device handshake if not maybe the app checks the build of the device to see if it matchs or maybe some framework is missing; In any case now we have the app, we can experiment to find a solution.

How did you add it to your library? It won't let me

I managed to get it to work using the HBO Go 2.8.02 APK extracted from my Nexus 7. I disabled USB Debugging on my rooted NP running LP 5.1 and videos play just fine. Only during fast forwarding and rewinding do I get a little buffering, that's expected.

I'm using 2.7.06 and it works great. Just download and old version and 6iu should be good.

Can you please upload the apk??

[Q] Amazon Instant Video

In case you didn't know Amazon brought down their price for Prime today (only) to $72 for new members only. So I went and bought a subscription. I can get it to work on my Note 4, but cant seem to get it to work on my Note 12.2
Has anyone figured out how to play from Amazon Instant Videos?
or
I was wondering If anyone knew the right combo of Apps I need to download in order to get Instant Video to work?
Side Note. I know Google Removed Amazon’s Original App from Google Play for Adding their own type of Appstore inside there App.

Ist very simple: you must use the PHONE Version of Amazons store app (NOT "Amazon for Tablets"!!!) to get Instant/Prime Video to work on the tablet! You have to install it with Amazons own app store.

Instant Video Version 1.0 (I havent looked for an updated version yet)
Sweet I got it to work Thanks!

I must be doing something wrong... I downloaded the amazon app from the Amazon app store and it shows the green watch instantly link, but when I click it loads into the instant video and fails with "unknown_error". Any tips for what I should try differently?

[MOD] Amazon Prime Apk [Black Screen Fix]

After learning through a lot of smali guides on XDA , I finally managed to make my own Amazon Prime Mod
For many of us that don't have ChromeCast or any other external device to Cast to the Television or any other casting device , here comes a solution for the annoying Black Screen (Black Screen where only audio plays no video)
The black screen is a protection for the DRM content being played by Amazon and I managed to remove it
Features:-
Enabled Screen Mirroring (No need of chromecast or any screencast device)
You can find the apks here
amazon_prime_3.0.268.28447.apk
amazon_prime_3.0.269.96447.apk
Folder Link
Prime_Patched
I will keep updating the app with the PlayStore apk updates
Here you can find a sample screenshot
Sample.img
Please note that the Amazon Shopping App won't run together with this app.Uninstall that before using this mod
(I am still trying to figure out the reason though)

Reserved just in case

error install in xiaomi 9t pro miui 11.0.6 stable.
PD: Uninstall shop amazon xD, now install ok and work great!!, thank you

I get "App not installed" message regardless which apk I install. (Moto g power, rooted with magisk)

Hi, Thanks for the mod apks. I've not tried them yet. Funny thing is, prime works in Marshmallow without mod or virtual exposed, but not in higher android upgrades. But other apps like netflix don't work at all.
I just wanted to know if you could help us in telling what to mod in the apk, so I can try it in Other apps.

That Black Screen is restrictions for DRM content
Mostly all of that started after Marshmallow, therefore no issue to Android versions below that (ofcourse xD)
What I modded in this app was a flag which told a certain method if the content was DRM or not
For example if you take Prime certain sections can be cast to the screen and certain sections cannot
That flag determines it
So before you reverse engineer , you must know how to engineer
The key to engineering such a feature is Google
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display#FLAG_SECURE
Now to reverse this
I first found out all occurences of FLAG SECURE throughout the app ( Don't ask me how, if you don't know you need to read all the other smail guides all around. it's the basics) and then a little knowledge of smali helped me disable it
HONESTLY, It's time to get a New TV with Android

Thanks

thanks a lot.. you saved the day for me,..

Since this thread is receiving a good response and huge thanks to a guy called Joshua (who just PMed) me with the fix to work both Prime and Amazon shopping together, I'll post the latest apk for Prime with the black screen stuff removed
And also if possible I'll try to do it with Netflix too
Cheers to you guys!

Will you still post the latest apk?
I can't install your files from last april (can't uninstall the other Amazon apps, only deactivating since they are preinstalled as bloatware - but that won't help on my XZ2 device)
So at the moment I use an older device for streaming where your apk works. However, installation of the other Amazon apps like Amazon Photos fails...
So your updated apk will be greatly appreciated

I actually have a solution that worked for me that you can do yourself!
I cloned the official latest VS of prime using app cloner arm, and selected options : redirect external storage, allow screenshots, and disable screen mirroring. Despite what you would think, with those options enabled I am actually able to screen mirror through my phones video out (I haven't tried wireless mirroring but as nothing else was working for my video out I presume it will work as well)
Good luck and let me know if it works for you!
So after not using It for an hour or so, when opening the cloned app again I got a sync error.

Restart on reinstall 2 golden rules

Thanks for the App Cloner suggestion
I tried and also got the sync error after a while: could_not_create_sync_account.
Maybe there are some suitable options within AppCloner preventing this error?
However, clearing cache/data makes the app starting again.
So this is the best solution we have right now, unless someone provides new modded apk's...

Anyone have a solution for: could_not_create_sync_account????. whenever I clear data downloaded videos disappear

That is exactly the problem we are currently discussing here.
So no, no solution yet!
At least until someday updated apk files are being distributed, as teasered in post #10...

Hey guys! I had the same issue with the prime video black screen and I was looking for a solution. Apparently I found the fix, just look and install the version 3.0.258.30941 or any version before december 2019( I tested it and it's working fine). Obviously never update the app

This is great! Tested with v3.0.259 and it works

Hi All,
I found the solution. Just go ahead and use an old apk from say Jan 2019.
I used teh following site to get the old apk and it's working for me.

Tried, it doesn't work on modern phone (Android 11, MIUI 12) but it does work on an old phone (Android 6, MIUI 10). What could be the reason for this?
