Hi,
I have two HD10 tablets, kids version, from 3 years back. I want to change these to Android version. Has anyone done this with a success? The reason for this is, lately, I can manage kids account better on Android than using Amazon kids account. Plus, I have to have subscription for some items that are free on Android tablets.
Thank you
My very old HD 8 just died on me and I’m trying to figure out which to purchase.
I use it primarily as an ereader and for streaming video, particularly while traveling.
Basically, what I’m trying to figure out is if the better responsiveness and screen quality is worth the sacrifice of the bulkier size of the 10. Is the difference noticeable?
I have been trying and trying to figure out why this pos isn’t saving to SD card, I have researched and searched in the settings. Whyyyy can I not download apps to the SD card?! There is no option for this specific tablet to save directly to SD card. I am so confused as this is like…ridiculously basic and I am at a loss at this point. Any help would be appreciated
So a couple of summers ago I was yearning for a color kindle (this is before color e-ink was released) and my little brother essentially handed me this Kindle Fire from his hoard of tech in his bedroom like "Here have fun with this brick! Can't do much! It's useless but have at it!"
It was a hand me down to him from my great aunt and my little brother nearly bricked it with how he modded it to use it as a gaming tablet (probably a processing heavy launcher was part of the culprit) and he claimed it couldn't hold a charge for more than a few minutes so it sat on a shelf for 3 years. But yk I hate eWaste as much as he does but unlike him instead of just letting it rot on a cluttered shelf I try to put some use to it LOL
Anyway I used it like an eReader with the ancient version of the Hoopla app to read books and comics using my state library card
fast forward a year and a half I stumble across a video by DammitJeff titled something along the lines of "Your Kindle Tablet is a Scam, here's how to fix it" or smth like that and it goes into detail about how to mod a Kindle Fire using FireToolbox. A few months later, I'm chipping away at making this tablet do exactly what I want it to do.
The mod is ofc themed after my favorite dinosaur, the triceratops because the tablet is a bit of a dinosaur by spec standards
I have some downloaded videos and my entire MP3 Library on VLC (currently including 83 nightcore tracks lol), Moonreader for my sideloaded books I'm slowly collecting off of Kobo (I prefer to own my media), some downloaded videos, and I also have Pinterest and NewPipe! I have used this tablet for visual study timers while I do school a LOT.
I also prefer LCD screens over OLED for medical reasons (I have Bipolar Disorder and the blue light from OLEDs compared to LCDs messes me up wayyyy more) so that's a major reason why I'm not simply doing a trade in to upgrade. The fact that the tablet can't do much is actually the best part. It does exactly what I want it to do and nothing else.
I also love the huge LCD screen for comics lol I keep up with the issues of Transformers Skybound as they come out through my library on Hoopla as I await the next volume to come out so I can purchase it in print. I also have some "abandonware" scans of the Transformers Prime Titan Comics from the UK that I got off of a comprehensive fan archive on MoonReader (If you can tell I love Transformers LOL)
I have also unexpectedly discovered that a giant lit screen is much easier for me to read small text on. Weird.
Getting a clear case soon! (And upgrading the SD card from 32 gb to either 64 gb or 128 gb have to check the specs again)
Oh I also have the Kindle app for sending books from the county library system via Libby
Going to be setting up my Jellyfin server via my laptop at some point and ripping my DVD collection to it so this can be a portable media player!
Once my staple apps are no longer supported on android 5, I will jailbreak and install lineage OS but for now I'm still a baby modder Pfft
So, my grandma has had this kindle fire ever since i was little. I’m certain it’s the Kindle Fire HD 2013 Model. i’ll attach sone photos below. I’ve looked on the settings and it was last updated in August of 2020. I’ve checked for updates but it says none are available. Now, this tablet has all of my old games off of when i was a kid, the majority of which will be lost media. I’m trying to download a few but whenever i do, it reads ‘error’ and i’ve tried everything but nothing seems to work. There’s 2.15GB of storage free so that’s no issue. It’s connected to the internet aswell. I’m just wondering as i’m no expert, is there a way of solving this? Or is the tablet just that old that it physically can’t anymore?
In what world does 20.31 GB equal 45.38 GB?
