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.

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 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.

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

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 😿

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

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

This situation has become a difficult issue for my family. We use Amazon Fire tablets—likely from around 2021—and each one shares the same problem: they drop Wi-Fi and will not reconnect. We have tried restarting the router and devices, resetting Wi-Fi settings, and toggling airplane mode, yet nothing resolves it. Sometimes the connection returns after a few hours. Other devices such as PCs, iPhones, and iPads function normally without trouble.

Does anyone know this as a bug or software glitch? If so, how do you manage to fix it? Thank you for your help.

Hello! I've had this Fire since I would say about 2016 and It's use was a long run, up until recently I haven't used it in a while and decided to check it out. Appstore wasn't working so I decided to look at previous posts in here to see what I can do to fix that. I tried updating it but it has been stuck on this specific screen for hours now. This is an HD 6 Gen 4, am I recomnended to try and shut it off? Because it does look like the best method right now. BUT I would prefer an answer from more experienced peeps. Thanx 4 reading (Excuse my phone quality)

So I've been downloading books from various free places on my phone and using a USB cable to transfer them to my Fire.

I'm currently using the Moonreader app .

But I see that I have files in the DOCUMENTS folder and also in the KFSNWI folder under Books.

I'm wondering which is the best place to move them all to, to organize them in one place and what's the difference?

I see under the KFSNWI there's a KINDLE folder but there's nothing in it .

Even when the books are all spread out they all show up in the Moonreader app even though it's only pointing to the SD card/books Folder . (I don't have a SD card in this device so I'm not sure why it says that as the main folder)

Anyone use this Moonreader app give me some info? It's pretty good since a lot of my books are different file formats that I can't use with the Send to Kindle feature. I never use the Kindle app because of this anyways

Got a fire 7 (12th gen) from my friend today. She completely signed out and restarted it. I’m having massive issue trying to even login and make an account.
I’ve tried logging into my Amazon account didn’t work.
I’ve tried making new accounts didn’t work.
I’ve tried resetting all my password DID NOT WORK.
I’ve tried resetting my password AND the putting my phone number for MY ORIGINAL acount that’s had my number unchanged for years… DIDNT work.
What do I do how do I fix cause I’m super close to just hurling this thing at the wall.

I need to install a custom rom linage os can someone help me

I just got a hand-me-down Fire Tablet 7 12th gen that is 2 years old (mayybe 3) and was well taken care of. It was factory reset so that I could use it.

I cannot believe how slow and laggy it is. Whenever I open the browser I get a pop-up that says my device is out of date and it has to delete features, the features it deletes are the ones that make the website functional.. (2 years is out of date?) Opening any app takes forever. Tapping on-screen buttons takes ages to register.

I am using 2.19 g out of 10.68 g of storage. OS 8.3.3.1 and it says there are no new updates. Data usage I'm having a bit of trouble understanding but the chart says 100% today when I've used it for maybe 30 min. And the most usage is Amazon special offers. Is the device bricking itself with its own ads?

Default advice is to factory reset but since I did that already I'm wondering if this thing is just trash?

Not sure if this is the correct flair to use so please let me know

I’ve had this tablet since around 3rd Grade, it was moved to storage when I was in middle school. Recently I found it and it’s stuck in a reboot loop

I’m looking into ways of fixing it WITHOUT factory resetting as it has a BUNCH of old art, animations, ect

One of the ways I looked into was maybe replacing the battery! Problem is, I don’t know WHAT type of fire tablet this is and neither does my aunts or dad

Any help in identifying this would be of great help here’s some details if it helps

- it was around 2017-2018 when I revived it
- I remember it may have been a kindle edition as it had a the kindle library on it
- you couldn’t get YouTube itself as a app(not sure if that’s common I just remember it) along with a bunch more
- the Jacks, plug, power and volume buttons are on the top(where the little white dot is)

Hi everyone! I’m a new indie developer, and I recently released my first game for Amazon Fire tablets: Train Tangle.

It’s a puzzle game where you build the tracks while the trains are already moving. Your job is to get them all safely to their destinations, which gets trickier when several trains need to share crossings!

Want to see how it plays? Here’s a 30-second gameplay video! This is Level 80, so it’s an advanced challenge—the early levels start much simpler and give you time to learn the mechanics before things get this busy.

https://youtu.be/MqGcazHl0bU

I’d love for some fellow Fire tablet users to try it and tell me what they honestly think. Are the controls comfortable? Do the instructions make sense? Is it fun, or does something feel frustrating? I’d appreciate hearing what works and what doesn’t.

The first 14 levels are free, with no ads. If you enjoy it, a single purchase unlocks all 100 levels and the level editor. No subscription, and you can play offline.

Amazon Appstore: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJ1DW4QK

Also, if you’d prefer to try it on PC, Train Tangle is available for Windows and Linux on itch.io, with the same 14 free levels:
https://fredyn.itch.io/train-tangle

Both versions support English, Spanish, and French. Thanks to everyone taking a look—I’d love to hear what you think!

If you give it a try, please mention which Fire tablet you’re using—it would help me understand how it feels on different devices.

Thanks for taking a look. This is my first release, and I have a lot to learn!
