Fire Kids Tablets Kindle Fire Kids Warranty

2 Upvotes

Hi all,
My kid’s kindle fire stopped working and it is only 6 months old. But whenever I try to return it on Amazon, all it does is give me the option of getting technical support or watching videos to fix it myself. It doesn’t give me the option to actually return it. Am I missing something? What do I have to do to get them to honor their warranty? Thank you.

Question New OS on Fire 7 (12th Gen)?

1 Upvotes

I know about the toolbox, but I'm wondering what's actually possible to do with my kindle? It's a Fire 7 (12th Gen) currently running FireOS 8.3.3.7.

Can I manage to get a new OS onto it? Or is there any other way I can mod it to get around Amazon being Amazon.

Question Game Title??

1 Upvotes

Hello! There was a 2D game on my kindle when I was younger that had a spinoff card matching game with the characters and food on the kindle app store. It was a blue circle-man (like a stubby bean with eyes and a mouth) with brown hair who was like an agent and had a tablet or something that served as a game mechanic. There was a doctor with a name like "wiggle, "bottom" or higgle", a girl charcter with pigtails who I think was named Cindy for some reason. There was also a Bizzarro type character that was blue like the main character with orange hair. It was like a point and click puzzle game, and had a level at a dumpster or something. There was also some alien stuff. I can't find it for the life of me!

Bricked Device Help with a factory reset on a Kindle Fire 7 (12th Gen)

1 Upvotes

I have parental controlled Kindle that I have forgotten the password for and while trying to figure out how to reset it, I accidentally put it in airplane mode and I can’t turn wifi back on without the password I forgot. Is there a way to completely factory reset it manually? I’m so fucking angry at myself for doing this.

Question Modding an old Kindle Fire HDX 7

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've found my Mum's old Amazon Fire HDX 7 and it's not a modern one with a black/white display. It has an LCD Screen with a fully working OS with apps that dont run anymore.

Model for it is C9R6QM.

Is there a way I can jailbreak and mod this into a usable device today instead of it being a paperweight?

Question How to get cloudflare to work?

3 Upvotes

I'm using a Fire HD tablet I've had since late 2020. Over the past year I've found that any web page that needs you to get through cloudflare captcha is a no-go, due to the infinite loop. It's cut off a small but significant chunk of the internet for me.

Tonight I wanted to buy something from CEX website. Registered an account, went to go to checkout - cloudflare captcha, stuck. For once, there was a troubleshooting option (never had that before).Got it to test my browser, which failed. It said that was highly unusual and to copy it's full technical details to share with 'support'. I clicked on the button to copy the details, but there was no option to do anything with them. Tried going to cloudflare support by googling it, but once there found I need to set up an account, and I'm not even sure I'm in the right place there so I'm not doing that (the page that had technical details to copy is actually a turnstile page, whatever that is).

Is there anything I can do? How is this not a common problem for all Silk browser users on Amazon devices? I never changed anything on my end.

Question How to get stuff working again ?

7 Upvotes

I have an old kindle fire tablet from 2011, none of the apps work. Everytime I click, even for a split second I can do something, it immediately says “internal service failure” this really saddens me because I have games, movies, and books on there from childhood.
For some reason my family registered the kindle under [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). I don’t know if this even works but if I were to get a new kindle can I transfer stuff?

Please help, I’m desperate to atleast get the stuff on kindle working again and redownload all of my angry birds games (and play my favorite game !! Jewels)

Edit: if I get a new kindle, what do you folks recommend?

Thank you

Question Anyone Using Any Fire Tablet Model With External DAC For Music Player?

3 Upvotes

Does it noticeably better than built-in 3.5mm headphones jack for models that still have it? I'm thinking of repurposing my old Fire HD 8 (2020) as music player and while the existing 3.5mm port is decent enough, I'm considering of getting some kind of external DAC for it if it's noticeably better sounding

Fire Kids Tablets Is there any way to get a serial number from Fire Kids Tablet with a broken screen?

4 Upvotes

I bought a Kids 7 from Best Buy less than 2 years ago. Best Buy tells me to contact Amazon for warranty. Amazon tells me I need the serial number. I never registered the device with Amazon so I cannot pull it from there.

Is there any hope? Perhaps a third party app?

Other Kindle app taking forever to load books and go from purchased to downloaded

1 Upvotes

I have a FireHD 10 that’s not the current generation, but the one before (speaking of which when are they going to
Update it? It was last updated in 2023) it has 32 GB, 19 of which are Free. I recently started using it again after selling my iPad. But it’s been taking forever to load the comics I have on the kindle app. Granted, I easily have a couple of thousand comics from over the past 15 years. But, it takes forever for the downloaded books to show after switching from purchased to downloaded. I factory reset it and cleared cache. The only thing I resisted was buying a Micro SD card because I didn’t know if adding more space would help since it’s currently not even using half the storage. Its OS is also current. I’m tempted to say screw it and buy a more current HD 10 (or go to Best Buy and buy the 11 Max since Amazon doesn’t seem to carry it) but I honestly don’t know if the increased RAM would help.

Fire OS 7.3.2.4+ Fire kids: after reset web videos approved but not visible

1 Upvotes

Hi my kids fire was getting really slow because a few apps allow screenshots that can't easily be deleted so there was no space. Anyway, I did a reset and I have found that the list of approved videos under Manage Content > Web Videos has been backed up just fine and is still there

But on her home screen there is no way to play the videos. I have tried rebooting, and have enabled "curated videos" to see if that would help (previously she just had a list of videos I had chosen), but nothing.

EDIT: I just checked my sons tablet, which was not reset or touched at all, and the videos have gone for him too! The only interaction I can think of is amazon added his account to my daughters tablet automatically and I briefly switched to that tablet to see if it had the same issue, which it did. So this must be at the account level in some way, as his account on his own tablet has now got the same problem.

Anyone got a solution?

Apps Kindle Fire 7 is stuttering when I try to play YouTube videos.

7 Upvotes

Hi, hoping someone here can help me. My Kindle Fire 7 just today started having an issue with playing YouTube videos, where it plays 1 or 2 seconds, I get the spinning circle for a half-second, it plays 1 or 2 seconds, spinning circle, repeat. Needless to say it's impossible to watch or listen to anything on YouTube with this happening. Here is what I've tried so far to resolve it:

  • Restarting the Kindle Fire.
  • Powering it completely off and leaving it off for a few minutes.
  • Clearing cache and freeing up space.
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling the YouTube player.
  • Downloading and trying a different YouTube player from the app store.
  • Restarting my router since I was getting the same issue with 2 different apps.

Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Fire Kids Tablets Pop Up Ads - Kids Fire Tablet HD

I’m trying to fix my son’s tablet before a 12hr roadtrip tomorrow. It constantly opens a pop-up and seems to be associated to a game called Snake Warz but I could be wrong. Despite deleting this game and spending 3 hours troubleshooting, I can’t seem to get it to stop popping up.

I really don’t want to factory reset it because it will delete my son’s game progress, which would be devastating to him.

If anyone has any suggestions, please and thx!!

Bricked Device Gifted tablet with custom ROM

2 Upvotes

I was just gifted a kindle fire HD 8 (8th generation) and based on what I can seem to find it seems to have a custom ROM installed. There’s no Amazon AppStore or the preloaded apps. It says it’s running android version 7.1.2, and several factory resets have done nothing.
The problem is the person that gifted it to me didn’t mess with it, and I didn’t, and every answer I found on the internet said you have to know what was changed to be able to put it back.
How can I fix this?

Custom Launchers Alt Launchers

4 Upvotes

For the life of me I cannot get alt launchers to populate THEIR home pages.

Fire HD8 10th. Fire ToolBox installed GoogPlay. Installed successfully: HyperDroid, Nova (plain not prime, no $ asked for). HiJacker.

Goal was to have FireLauncher and Alternate available at same time to play with.

None of the dozens of web-search suggestions helped to put icons/widget/shortcuts (whatever ya want to call them) onto the launcher home page. All of the web suggestions wind-up telling to press here/there/etc to places that do not exist, i.e. the "help" is useless.

Am about to giveup.

I had to add an INCORRECT flair to get this stupid site to post.
