Hi folks,
My primary devices are iOS, but with the mini not supported (out of the box) and the iPhone 6 issues, I wanted to dedicate a spare Amazon Fire Phone (basically free when I got it... since my prime was expiring anyway).
Boy, DJI support was down right aggressive about Amazon devices will not work.. In any case, I saw some posting and I wanted to put the steps together to help others..

Fire Phone - How to Install Google Play Store without root
These steps will install the Google Play Store and then you can install the DJI Go 4 app (or 3)
You will need to find the kindle_fire_usb_driver.zip if you want to connect up your phone and copy the files directly.
I hope this helps others! I've have been on 4 flights (2 days) now and no issues. Actually, the experience was better than on my iPhone6!
Enjoy!
