Gary, thank you for being the guinea pig and testing that phone. That'll probably be my solution if I can't get the Kindle Fire to pair up with the ELM327.

The Kyocera eVent phone worked well, pairing with one of

it just started working, after
asking me to turn on the GPS, which was easy, since the app
causes the GPS Settings page to come up.
I used the Play Store to install the "GPS Test" app, and that
also seems to work nicely.
This phone is even described as a good phone.
Of course, you have to buy some minutes, but
there is a $10 card available.
