How do you get either a Motorola Defy XT smartphone or a Kindle Fire to recognize this? I plug it in, but nothing happens...where do I "find" it?

Not sure about your model, but in my case I use the app "ES File Explorer" and the stick appears under "local" as a usb

When you first open the package, don't plug it into your computer. Stick it into your phone first. It will give you the option to format it to the phone's specifications so it can "find" it henceforward. If you don't see anything when you first plug it into your phone, try the notifications panel by pulling it down from the notifications bar at the top of your phone's screen. Once your phone formats this drive, you can from then on use it like any other USB drive.

You need the Sony app from the play store...it won't work on the kindle fire.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get my HDX to find/read the device (I even downloaded numerous file manager apps, including the Sony one from 1mobile market. Still doesn't read it). Guess we'll have to patiently wait until it gets Amazon support, or until someone else can figure out a workaround. Sorry!

I don't know. I just tried my iphone and when that didn't work, I tried my kindle fire but it didn't work with that either :(

not sure. we got our son's at around the same time that you got yours and it's been having the same issue. we finally ended up getting a cable, etc... pack for it for 27.99. it came with two cables and some other stuff. son states that the cable worked better than the special turbo charger that we bought separate from the kindle. (see the link to the cable pack after the last sentence in this review.) our kindle also forced reboots as well as a reset to factory defaults when the rebooting didn't work. hopefully you don't have those issues as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DFBN62U/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fair warning, I don't own and haven't used a Kindle Fire of any sort. That said, I took a look at the Kindle Fire HD 7 inch spec sheet - which includes support for Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Devices - keyboards, meece, etc). Given that and the fact that this keyboard works fine with every Android device I've tested (a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, a Samsung Note, an Asus Nexus 7 - which is what I'm using to type this response, and an LG Nexus 4), I'd say you're completely safe buying this keyboard.Also, if these details don't leave you confidant, this keyboard's carried at all Apple Stores. Take your kindle in - I'm sure they won't give you trouble about testing it in store. Fair warning, I don't own and haven't used a Kindle Fire of any sort.

I have the Kindle Fire that's NOT the HDX. do you know what I need to be able to hook the fire to my TV? I already have the HDMI cable hooked to my TV, just not sure what adapter to go from the fire to the HDMI cable.

Why is something like this not available for Kindle Fire? I too hope that Amazon will correct this situation soon.

Im sorry, I couldnt even turn mine on. I sent it back. Saved my money and bought a 7" Kindle fire.

I just received one as a gift and I can't get it to work with my Kindle Fire HD either.It pairs and says it is connected but it won't play. Did you ever get yours connected?

I purchased an original Kindle Fire probably about the same time and recently got a new Kindle Fire HDX. It works great on both of them. Hope this helps!

It is really a stupid device, you plug your usb adapter into the device and plug the device (that is if it would work). It didn't charge anything. The listing led us to believe you could lay your phone or kindle on it and it would charge it, but it isn't designed that way. You have to plug your device into it.

Not an answer, but giving more information. I see 6 answers to this question and none of them tells us what adapter to buy, GEEZ. I'm trying hard to figure it out. Now, my Kindle Fire 7" [non-HD] has a very small type A female 5-pin plug-in spot. They say the keyboard in this case has a type A male 2.0 connector.. You can tell I know nothing about all this. Now, will someone let us know what sort of adapter we should buy for this??? Please!!

ME TOO!!!!! They will not help me. I did find that my Kindle charger appears to charge it just fine. If you have one of those, try that.

Pretty sure this one will not work with the Kindle. There is a kindle/ipad/other version that will though.

Seems to work fine with all my various devices. Sometimes use it for my Kindle Paperwhite as well! Good luck

It did work with mine, just make sure it's the right version there were two versions. Option A cable and Option B cable...it has to do with when the Kindle was made, can't remember the cutoff date....I believe that this is the more popular version, hit up google to verify and also, please make sure you have all the fancy srewdrivers and pull tools to get this screen out before you start.....A cellphone repair kit should suffice...And note as Gian says 'pain in the ass to replace' i still have two screws left over and i have no idea where they came from....good luck

NO!!! My Kindle Fire HDX recognizes the dongle then half way thru connection you get GET_IP_FAIL!! Error on screen. Time after time. The text of the error even overlaps the homescreen. This is junk. I want my money back.
