Just got a system update for my Kindle fire. Can't tell what the update did. Anyone know anything about it.??

Re: update.

What is the system version? I don't see anything about a new update for the KF posted anywhere online.

 

[srayjacobs]

6.2.2. 3205220

 

[srayjacobs]

It just did a reboot and installed. Took about 3 to 5 min.

I see some info on it now...I guess it's going down. My KF is rooted and WIFI is off so for now I think I'll pass on the update. I'm sure it will un root it if I do.

Just checked mine. It still says 6.2.1_user_3103920.

Anyone have any details about the update? What's new?

 

[srayjacobs]

I think it was to fix some problems with the wi fi connections. Not sure though.

I'm hearing there's a full screen toggle button on silk browser now.

I can confirm this. Only thing I've noticed so far.

One thing that I noticed after I got the 6.2.2 update, was that using the browser, there was a button in the bottom right corner enabling "full screen".

To manually update, here's the link to the .bin file, direct from Amazon. After downloading, use a file utility to move it to the Kindle Update folder. Go into the Menu>More>Device and punch the Update My Kindle button. Done!

Same here. My KF was sitting on the table beside me last night around 9:30. It suddenly went to a command line looking screen, installed the update, and rebooted. I have a few programs that need root (such as a vnc client) so ... off to redo it.
