TeamViewer on Amazon Fire tablet
Thank you,

Teamviewer on my Amazon Fire (5th Gen, KFFOWI) when used to control other devices works great. It's rooted, but I think root is only needed for Host mode.
Host barely works at all, however. The screen when viewed on the controlling device is mainly black, but sometimes the remote screen flickers on. Remote mouse control doesn't work, but remote touch control does (if controlling from a touch-enabled device). Remote keyboard works. The Fire tables run a heavily customized and locked-down version of Android, though, so I wouldn't put too much blame on Teamviewer here.

I can login to the fire tablet just fine and view the screen, but no remote control is available. Click on something and a finger shows up on the screen.
Pretty lame if you ask me...

HI All,
Thanks for the feedback in this thread.
As you already discovered, many but not all Android devices are fully remote controllable with TeamViewer.
If you only get the "blue hand" pointer this means that view/show is only supported on the device in question.
I have submitted a feature request for full remote control compatibility of the Amazon Fire tablet. There is not a guarantee that this feature will be implemented but it has been forwarded to our product management team for consideration.
All the best,
Jonathan

It would be great if it was updated to allow remote control of the devices. We are using a number of them, but without teamviewer functionality we may have to look at another Remote Desktop solution.6

Can I use the New Amazon Fire HD 10 with Teamviewer installed to remotely control other (desktop) computers? I do a bit of support for my family and friends and sometimes want to do/access and send things from my desktop while on the road with my tablet. I've been able to do that with my Samsung Note 8.0, but it just bricked on me and I need a new tablet that will allow me to do that. I'm not looking to remotely control the Amazon Fire HD 10 as it seems to be the topic here.

Controlling other devices from your Fire HD 10 should work with no problems. You'll want to install the "TeamViewer for Remote Control" app for this.

I'll second the request for a full-on version of TeamViewer on Amazon Fire tablets.

Been some time, any idea when this will be addressed?

Please develop full TeamViewer support for Amazon Fire tablets.2

I agree now that it would be useful now to be able to control the Amazon Fire HD10 Tablet (7thgen) as I've bought my mom one and she needs lots of help all the time and she lives on the other side of the globe from me. Pleas address this issue and let us know when you have. Thank you.3

What are you thinking of looking at? we are using it on numerous devices but sadly some customers have purchased Amazon Fire and we have view only options.
Is there anything better that can be used on the Fire?

If you have Google Play installed on the Fire HD8 / 8th Generation (based on Android 7.1.2), TeamViewer, Host, and QuickSupport all worked for me...

But could you login and control the fire tablet from a remote computer?0

I sit corrected. <scratching head>. Could have sworn when I installed it a couple months ago after getting my 8th Gen that it worked. Can't get it to work now. Some features work but not remote.
Sorry about that.
I'm back to figuring out what's up...

@Eox please let me know what you did to get it working.
In my case, it allows view-only access from Win 10 PC to 10inch Fire Tablet.
I have 8th Gen Fire tablet. An have installed the following on tablet via Google Play:
Teamviwer Host & TeamViewer Universal Add-On.
I want to be able to control tablet via the touch screen on my Win 10 Laptop.

@RealAlan, @RNWOLF, @Eox & @Pirate: has ANYONE found a solution?? I purchased an Amazon Fire Tablet for my mom because she can no longer get to her desktop. I have connected to the desktop for years, no problems, so I installed it on her Tablet, and it won't allow me to reach it from my laptop, or from my Android phone!! It WILL allow me to control OTHER devices, but when trying to access the tablet it says, "not accepting incoming connections." 😡

More than a year later - STILL wondering if I can ever connect my PC to an Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet with Teamviewer. Are they not going to resolve this?

I just had similar issue. I installed Host on the Kindle 8. I could access the device remotely, but couldn't control it. I installed the Teamviewer Universal Add-on. I still could access the device remotely, but couldn't control it remotely. What I did note, is that going into the 'settings' on the Kindle, scrolling down to and choosing 'Accessibility' from the menu, then scrolling down to the bottom to the 'SERVICES' area helped quite a bit. While the TeamViewer Universal Add-On is installed, it is not automatically turned on. After turning it on from this menu choice, then again connecting to the Kindle 8 remotely, I was/am now able to control the device.
I hope this helps, though late.
