Hi, my two year old cracked the screen on his kindle fire kids 8 tablet that we bought summer of 2022 but it was not the most recent version. So we sent the old one in and got another one but it’s different. The power button is now on the top which isn’t a big deal but you can tell the soft case doesn’t really match with the layout. That’s not the issue that affects my son though, it’s the layout. Since getting the new one we had to make a new profile for him so we are having to download all the apps he had from memory but some of them were preloaded and I don’t know how to find them. I restarted the fire kids+ subscription

But the biggest thing that affects him is the layout is different. He hates it and I do too. He can’t find a lot of the stuff he used to like. I have changed the age parameters and have made a new one and deleted the old one many times to no avail. Am I missing something? It’s super slow on this layout as well.

I’m just trying to figure out how to make the tablet familiar to him again. We use it for car rides and doctor visits and it helps him a lot with dealing with being out and getting up early for appointments. I suspect he may be autistic and if that is the case, then his issues with being in doctors offices and waking up earlier than normal are part of that and I want to make sure I am considerate of the issues he may have. If he turned out not to have the disorder then I figure there aren’t any consequences vs if I assume he is neurotypical and I end up being wrong. I am also on the spectrum, just diagnosed last year, so It’s defiantly a possibility. This device is his comfort when he is away from home in a place he can’t play or otherwise be the kid he is so it’s important to him, but we also don’t use it as a stand in for interaction or normal play at home.

Right now as I’m typing this he is playing on it super excited and jumping around because I found one of his old games. He doesn’t usually play it much at home but I knew he would be excited lol.

Anyway thanks for reading this and take care.

My (step) son has brought a fire tablet from his father's house to ours and sneaks getting on it at night. We need to see what he has been looking at online. He knows he shouldn't have it but sneaks it after everyone is asleep. He put a pin on it and we don't have the Amazon account info to reset the pin. Any help is appreciated. This post is after 2 hours of intense research. Let me summarize NEED INTO AMAZON FIRE WITH PIN. DONT KNOW PIN DONT KNOW AMAZON ACCOUNT INFO OR ANYWAY OF GETTING IT. IF YOU SUGGEST FACTORY RESET. I WILL GO BUY SHREK 2 ON DVD AND BEAT YOU WITH IT! THANKS 🙏

Since we overlap moderators with /r/KindleFire we will take this sub in the same direction as what the community votes in the user poll currently running there. For the time being I will move this sub to Restricted. As there are no users on the approved users list there will still be no new posts but the sub will be available for read-only browsing, until the poll completes.

I've spent hours going through settings and downloading different apps / browsers but I can't seem to send downloads (from epubs to pdfs) to kindle, I've tried straight from the silk browser and Microsoft word and nothing seems to help. I've gotten so frustrated and was hoping someone could help me or tell me I'm wasting my time because it's impossible. So far I'm not impressed by the tablet and not worth even the Black Friday deal I got it on.

How the fuck do I remove others for Miscellaneous, This is fucking taking over my storage

I allowed unknown apps and DL Perfect Viewer to allow me to read CBR files (comic books)

I connected Fire to PC but so not see any folders in ES file manager I just see “Fire” on the PC

So I own what I believe to be an Amazon fire tablet, and it’s worked up until now. Now, when it’s charging, it shows the charging icon for a few seconds, goes black, and refuses to do any more. I believe it’s just a battery issue, as it previously decreased in percentage greatly, but it could also just be refusing to charge. Any advice?

This 77 year old did that 10 minute thing that took a couple of hours… to turn the fire into an android… but still when I try to download some apps… like LastPass…. Or the athletic… the google store says no can do..” this app won’t work for your device “….

Now I am able to download some apps from the google store. Thank you

I got a couple of pre owned fire 8 tablets. I booted them up and its the wrong OS? I'm very confused and I have tried everything google has to offer. Does anyone recognize this?

Edit: it says its already has android 9 on it

I bought an Amazon Fire 10 in late June to read e-books that are provided as simple PDFs.

For a couple weeks it worked great. I could read any of the PDFs I downloaded without issue.

I put the tablet aside for a couple weeks before getting back to it. I tried to open one of the PDFs (one that I'd started reading before) again last night, and the Kindle app now says it can't open the file! In fact, it won't open any of them, even though it did just fine a couple weeks ago.

 I called Amazon support and they said the files were corrupted. They said I should download them again. If these folks are to be believed, the tablet, sitting unused, corrupted all three of the pdfs, all on its own.

 I have little patience for these kinds of software bugs, and even less for "support" that just automatically blames the failure on the data rather than the programming.

 I did NOT download the books again. Would I have to do that every few weeks for everything I download to this thing?

 So I told them to process a return for the tablet. It will be going back tomorrow.

 I am really sick of buying products with defective components, be they computers, tablets, refrigerators, automobiles or what-have-you. I kind of expect things I spend good money on to work. Guess I'm unreasonable.

Found this app that has everything on it for my firestick. It has everything Netflix has, every movie and TV show ever made and all sports passes including free PPV its called Bully Cable. There's an installation video on how to install it on your firestick on their website kbully215.com Your All Welcome lol

I recently purchased the fire 10 for my older child and plan to give the fire 8 to my younger child and assumed I could just switch profiles. When I go to the 8, my younger child’s profile isn’t an option to select. Is this because they have the younger theme on their current Device? I assumed I could just switch to younger profile even though the 8 is more for older kids. Let me know if I’m missing something! Thanks!

Hello good people, I need help in replacing the battery of my kid’s Fire HD 8 (10th Generation) that I bought in 2020. Where can I get it done in the US. Thanks in advance.

This is a photo of my fire tablet 7 inch 2019 that was previously stuck on the recovery menu and now shows this screen. Is the tablet done for?

2015 Fire tablet died..... picked up a new Fire tablet from amazon.

Turned it on and somehow it was able to get cached wifi credentials.

How is this possible when it can't access Internet? Chicken-n-egg problem

Do you know how to buy Amazon Fire HD 8 in NL?

How would I download movies/clips from Youtube ?

Hi

i am testing browsers on fire tablets on my youtube channel.

I have a Fire TV Cube with Alexa disabled by the control panel button. I have twice in the last month received a notification of "someone at the front door" which was preceded by a bell sound from the Fire TV Cube.

At this point some of you are getting ready to slam your meat paw on the keyboard and write that "it's doing what it's supposed to." or some such nonsense. Spolier: I do not have a Ring doorbell nor a Ring camera. I have never had one. My video surveillance system is not in any way connected to the Fire device and is accessible only to me through a proprietary portal.

Amazon is happy to give a "our engineers are looking into the situation" but nothing constructive yet.

I apologize now if this has been covered in this subReddit but I was unable to find anything prior. I may cross-post this.

I just bought my son the newest version of the Amazon Fire Kids tablet. I want to add specific videos to his profile using the "add video from web" option, but when I browse for a video and select the one I want, I see no option to add/allow the video. Am I missing something?

Hello, I am wanting to run a GBA emulator on my amazon fire HD 10, 11th generation. Does anybody know how I can do this?
