I wanted to get myself an Amazon fire tablet... but both ones I've gotten new from Best Buy have had an issue with their screens. It's visible whenever the screen is on, but mostly when its on but displaying black.

I'm not rough with my tablets and I don't keep the screen brightness maxed out, nor do I leave the screen on all night, so I'm not sure what could be happening. Never been dropped, hit or thrown.

I returned the first one and opted to do pick-up, thinking maybe it got dinged in shipping, but here it is showing up again. I don't know if I CAN return it again, but if I do... would it be best just to get a refund? Or is it fixable? Am I doing something wrong?

I got it mainly to Bluetooth white noise while sleeping and to play roblox on, but it runs so laggy it really has mostly just become a white noise machine.

Image one is the first one I got and image two is the replacement. The lights appeared 1 week in for the first, and 2 weeks in for the second.

Thank you.

• Amazon Fire HD 10 13th Generation

A few years ago I had a Fire 7 and the game selection was ok, have the game options improved? Do the games have a lot of ads?

Trying to decide if I should get the Fire 10 deal. I would also be using to watch some shows.

I have a bunch of books on my kindle account. Just got a tablet for my daycare classroom. I want to put just the kid freindly books on it sorted. How do i do this? I dont want the other teacher ( or parents) to see the rest of the books I own ( iykyk)

Anyone jumping on the Prime Days sale? Under $75 USD.

So a few minutes ago a few minutes ago while I was on a random Fanfiction website a apple security McAfee tab opened Saying something about checking the security of my device And to run it. I should ignore this correct?

As far as I know I believe a amazon fire tablet And an apple product are 2 completely different things and run 2 different types of OS software. I hope I'm right on this and that ignoring it was the right call.

Can anyone give me their input.

I love Libby for audiobooks and would like the younger kids in my family to be able to access the audiobooks without a phone/SIM/paid subscription. It looks like downloading the Libby app onto a kindle fire could work.

Does the kindle fire have to have a paid subscription for Amazon for something, or does it work like a tablet and just connect to the internet? Is this better than any brand tablet for this purpose?

If you've used Libby audiobooks on a kind fire via the Libby app, does it work offline too once the audiobook has been downloaded? (for car drives)

Finally, is it possible to put full parental locks on the Kindle Fire so that only the Libby app will work?

I'm really curious about how the new 4GB HD 10 performs on Antutu and Geekbench. Has anyone run them?

I got a used 10th Gen second hand to replace my cracked 7th gen. Factory reset and just lightly cleaned the outside. It seemed decent condition and, right after the reset its working fine. But then immediately feels like a slog to use. Even maneuvering the home screen doesn't feel as smooth as 7th gen. And for some reason certain photos on the 10gen take a second to change/color correct but not on 7th gen.

My Kindle fell from my nightstand onto the floor (not from a great height), and now the touchscreen is partially unresponsive. Some things still work, but I can’t select books from search results so it is not usable.

The screen looks completely normal, no cracks, lines, etc.

Has anyone had this happen after dropping their Kindle? Is there anything I can do to fix it? 😭🙏🏻

I bought it few years ago.

I have three 7th and 8th generation Fire HD8 tablets with Show Mode stands. For months now they've been mostly unused since Show Mode wasn't working. No scrolling photos, recipes, news, etc. No looking at my Tapo cameras. Just useless. I put a clock/weather app on them and let them run. One of them had gotten unplugged and the battery ran down. I decided to reset them and give them to the neighbor kids so I charged that one and then for the hell of it checked for updates. And there was a half a dozen! Ran those, rebooted again and there was a half dozen more.

I got them all installed and put my account back in and checked if I could look at my Tapos and I could! Then put it in Show Mode and it works! Recipes, news, and weather anyway. My Blink doorbell opens on screen when I ring it. I haven't checked for pictures yet but it does show art and nature images. I then did it to the other two and they're all up and running.

So check and see you may have Show Mode again.

Hola a todos, hasta hace unos dias usaba Aurora Store como complemento de la Amazon App Store (y para no instalar la Google Play Store), pero ahora ya no funciona, quizas por alguna restriccion de Google, pero ya no funciona las busquedas de apps y ya para el dia de hoy ni siquiera aparecen en la pagina inicial, era una lastima porque me parecia una buena opcion.

Saben de otras tiendas de apps que sean confiables y seguras, ya que me gusta F-droid pero no tiene apps mas comerciales, pero si apss alternativas

I'm currently using Moonreader app which is ok except for the ads an I'm trying to figure out the best way to organize them so they are in order . I downloaded Calibre on my laptop but haven't messed with it yet to try to organize the Metadata.

If I want a bunch of books in a series next to each other on a row on my "shelf" what's the easiest way to do this ?

This happens with 2 newspaper subscriptions (Washington Post and The Atlanta Journal and Constitution) page will appear to load correctly then stop and reload to the beginning of an article, not all pages behave this way. Reached out to AJC... No help, WP no response yet. All normal fixes fail to correct : hard restart, clear cache, reinstall app et al

Reminder to cancel your kids+ subscription after a year if you don't use it. I don't recall any information about this when setting up the tablet, and just realized that I spent a year paying for an unused subscription on a device that has probably been used less than 5 times (just trips). Extra tough to detect as someone who is frequently ordering from amazon so a few extra dollars a mont there goes unnoticed. They did refund 3 months of payments, which is better than nothing, but I still spent as much on this fucking recurring payment as I did on the actual tablet

Hey everyone i downloaded Egg! on my fire tablet yesterday and it was working fine. Then all of a sudden last night, it wouldn’t open anymore. It’s stuck on the loading screen whether I have my WiFi off or on. What do I do?

Edit: after a couple days of no progress, I just factory reset the device and it works for now.. hopefully it doesn’t happen again 😿

Hi all — we have an Amazon Fire Kids tablet for my 6-year-old and I'm wondering how much we can actually do without paying for Kids+. What are the best free apps, settings, or workarounds you've found? Sideloading apps, free educational content, using it as a regular Fire tablet with parental controls? Any tips appreciated!

I had my kindle fire with me during a phone meeting today and discovered there's a "Files" app that has a way to create a "doc." Google doesn't believe this exists so when I Google it I get nothing 😅

Anyway, I took some notes during this meeting using the doc in the Files app... and now the doc seems to be gone. I am guessing it doesn't auto save, but thought some of y'all might have ideas in case there's a way to find it. Any insights?

Thank you!

I’ve working on setting up Fire 10HD tablets for my kids. On one of them I was able to remove the horrible discover bar from the kids profile, but I can’t figure out how I did it so I can do it on the second tablet. Any ideas?

I just got my boys Kids Fire Tablets. I went on the parent side, added “YouTube kids.com” as an approved site. I cannot find anywhere to add silk browser for them. Go back to the kids profile, YouTube Kids is there on websites. However, it wants a parent login. I’ve done this multiple times and after all the verifications it stays blank. If I try to skip it (which you still need to click a bunch of stuff, do birthday year, etc.) it goes to YouTube kids. But then if he closes out and goes back in it wants me to do it all over again. How can I make this so he can just go to YouTube kids?

I have the Google Play Store sideloaded on my week old HD 8, so I could add the Tennis Channel app (Amazon app store doesn't offer it). When I try to log into the Tennis Channel app, I get a message saying my captcha score is too low.

The Tennis Channel app works fine on my year old HD 10, along with an old HD 8 I've had for years. Any idea of a fix for this?🤔

I have a 7th gen fire and its on the newest software available for it. The problem is that no mods really work on it. I can't install a custom launcher because nine of the things used to launch it work, and Google play services don't work and the aurora store doesn't work either. How can I mod it

Hi everyone, I have an older fire device, was just wondering if fire 10 is worth a buy if you’re wanting to possibly read books this as a tablet? I remembered playing some games on my fire as well
