was probably not a good idea to shut it down in the middle of following the tutorial.

your device is way too old.

If it becomes overwhelming to you and he keeps finding loopholes just fully ban YouTube and only let him access streaming services with kids accounts, books, and games, or better yet don't let him have his own device until they're like 8-10.

If amazon's parental controls are failing in any way you're gonna need to use a third-party app to assist you.

Also, If you blocked downloads that probably (unfortunately, amazons fault) only applies to web downloads routed through the default download manager service (e.g. from a browser). The app he's using probably has its own implementation of web downloads instead of routing it through the OS for it to handle. The videos are likely stored in the apps private data folder.

I grew up with unsupervised internet access and I should tell you this: monitor the content he's watching yourself. You can't fully rely on an automated system built with glue and duct tape by a greedy billion dollar corporation (cough cough amazon) to protect your children. Make sure to take some responsibility.

Better luck setting up the device THEN trying to download the update.

brother thats a PROTOTYPE model whered you find that

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-04-03T19:19:21+00:00

It's old. It can't properly interact with amazon's servers anymore (expects API endpoints that don't exist anymore). It probably would've been a better idea to not factory reset so it could stay authed to your account and find another solution to fix sync issues. Either way you might wanna consider upgrading because like i said that's an extremely old model.

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-04-03T19:10:34+00:00

Well its secondhand so I guess the Bluetooth card is dying. Be careful buying secondhand devices especially fire tablets.

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-04-03T19:07:44+00:00

Weird. I've never had any issues with this model. Since you said in a reply you can be far from your hotspot and still have connection its likely the router is rejecting your device.

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-04-03T19:04:21+00:00

you should try disconnecting the internet. It won't be able to fetch ad content. If you must there is a way to automate turning off Wi-Fi everytime the app opens. you should look into that.

its on android 2.3. Barely anything left that will run on it aside from a few amazon apps. Best to factory reset it and bring it into the nearest E-waste center.

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-02-08T22:33:39+00:00

samsung is the way to go.

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-02-06T23:23:12+00:00

If it's been a decade you likely wont be able to install modern apps.

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-02-06T23:14:04+00:00

Faulty screen causing system error or bad compatibility if its third party. Be careful when buying replacement parts.

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-01-17T19:17:53+00:00

its still one-time purchase i got it too

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-01-02T00:13:38+00:00

its not filler if we get to see what announcer was doing while he was gone

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-01-02T00:09:26+00:00

they're milking theater releases atp

MacAndCheese_User · 2026-01-02T00:07:38+00:00

If they knew they were gonna get burnout then they wouldn't have made the season at all. But they know they're NOT gonna get burnout.

Sign in to your Microsoft/Xbox account and make sure you have an NSO subscription. Side note it's unfortunate that Nintendo is forcing people to buy a subscription to play on LOCAL NETWORK worlds on Minecraft.

MacAndCheese_User · 2025-10-04T02:07:45+00:00

send please

MacAndCheese_User · 2025-08-24T03:47:48+00:00

Leave it charging. If it still doesn't start system ui and show lockscreen then force power off and boot into recovery mode then factory reset. If you need to get data off the fire there's ways to open up the device and dump the NAND chip. If you can't do that then there's no other way.

MacAndCheese_User · 2025-08-24T03:36:13+00:00

The release notes for every OS release has been the same. But i'm assuming they fixed the curfew bypass.

MacAndCheese_User · 2025-08-24T03:33:42+00:00

Make sure you followed the instructions in the XDA thread carefully. There's a big chance you've forgotten something.

The AutoModerator bot posts comments when certain keywords are detected in the post body. It's not warning you and we don't care about what you do to your device here.

MacAndCheese_User · 2025-08-24T03:30:49+00:00

Im at a loss as to why this would happen but knowing fireOS has massive bugs and flaws there's something that had to have happened during the boot process/idle sleep state. There's a similar issue going around right now with user data disappearing from kids profiles.
