I'm having problems connecting to the Origin Server for Need For Speed Most Wanted on Kindle Fire HD 10, I 'm trying to sign up for a new account. After entering my email address it can't find the Origin Server and tells me to check my connection. Can anyone help me out?
DICE TeamHi,
I would recommend to go over the connection troubleshooting steps for your Fire as provided by Amazon:

There seems to be a problem with the in-game code that does not like Kindle Fire networking. I had success accessing the 'dealership' on my LG Android yet no luck on the Kindle Fire (which is better due to it's larger screen at 7 inches) on my WIFI network at 1-2 feet from the router.
Even 5 years old it is still worth updating or fixing because people are still buying NFS Most Wanted 2012 from the Amazon App store on the device.
EA Origin wouldn't be harming a thing if they looked at how the Kindle Fire networking works. Please remember Kindle Fire uses Fire OS which is a modified version of stock Android and networking is done different to Amazon's specifications NOT Google's proprietary specifications. Please apply this to ALL future game releases on the Kindle Fire devices.
I do not know the specifics of this but the process of elimination leads me to believe as anyone else it is of the fault of the Kindle Fire OS or chip set. NOT people's WIFI network(s). If EA wants to release full compatible games on the Amazon App store I hope EA pushes the issue to inspect deeper the behavior of the Kindle Fire's networking. Maybe EA can have a higher rating on all Apple, Google Play, and Amazon's app store.
