How did you get a Kindle Fire to work w/ the Solo app? I have a Kindle Fire 7 & it doesnt run on Android or iOs. I would really like to use mine because of its size & aesthetics...Damn software though...
Kindle fire is android powered but a custom version for AmazonHow did you get a Kindle Fire to work w/ the Solo app? I have a Kindle Fire 7 & it doesnt run on Android or iOs. I would really like to use mine because of its size & aesthetics...Damn software though...
Ever since the last Solo software update my Hero 4 silver no longer works when plugged into the solo HDMI cable. As soon as I plug the cable in, the camera goes dead. It turns back on when I unplug it.
Have found no fix, so I sent a ticket to 3DR and am awaiting a response.
The first 3 weeks of flying i never had live feed. Then one day it worked for about 30 seconds and now it works every time. I have to do this order every time.
1. Gopro on
2. Solo
3. Controler
4. Connect to wifi
5. Start app after connected.
Any other order for me and the app will not show live feed. I also started to think cable was the issue. The new update yesterday helped with latency 10 fold. but im also running a GS3 and Gopro 3 silver. both are old and slow.
Norm-@Mark my issue is with not getting any sound during the live playback of live feed.... Not to much of the issue but was wondering if that is normal.

Timothy-
As z3r01 said, the Kindle Fire just runs an Amazon branded Android OS. While there's no Google Play Store on there, you can find and download apps (.apk files) and side load them onto the Kindle. I won't go into details as there's plenty of tutorials online (google 'side load apps onto kindle fire'). You'll have to get your hands on the '3DR Solo' app as an APK and '3DR Services' as an APK as well.
My fix for no video feed is as follows. Go into iPhone or iPad settings and select 3DR Solo, then trigger photos on or off & I get video feed back. Doesn't seem to make a difference whether photos is on or off, just switching it solves problem for me
I believe that a lot of these problems could be a bug in the app. & not in the Solo or the GoPro. Maybe they will read this & release an update.That doesn't make sense to me at all. BUT, having tried everything else that others have posted here, it actually worked for me! Thanks much for posting.

Chip,Dang man, sorry to hear that. I performed the update yesterday and kudo's to 3DR, Solo appears more stable in flight and GPS has improved. As far as your video feed, have you tried my method show in this thread. I still do it, but I swear is IS the connection at the GoPro from the USB cable.
However, yours shutting the GoPro off? That's a strange one. Let us know what 3DR says. Good luck!
Loving Solo, great stuff man!
Cheers.

Chip,
3DR tech support has been very good helping with this. Here is the fix, which worked for me:
-Turn off Solo.
- Disconnect GoPro from Solo
- Turn off GoPro
- Power cycle IOS or Android device
- Change resolution on GoPro to 1080/60 medium
- Make sure NTSC is selected, Wi-Fi is OFF
- Connect GoPro to Solo
-Turn on Solo, GoPro, controller and app.
This worked for me BUT: GoPro cannot be set to Stop/start from app. I need to start Recording before take-off and stop after landing.
Tech support said this will be resolved by addition of gimbal.
That's good but what about folks who don't want to use a gimbal?
Maybe other folks aren't having this issue.

It has never had the capability to start and stop recording in the app without the gimbal with Android. In IOS you can start and stop recording to the device but this does not start and stop the camera....again, without the gimbal.Chip,
