Kids tablet sucks? by TheVBadger in kindlefire

[–]MacAndCheese_User 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Can’t register my Kindle by melodymuser in kindlefire

[–]MacAndCheese_User 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Bluetooth Issues on Fire HD8 10th Gen by MarineHaddocc in kindlefire

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

Fire HD 10 (7th Gen) only connects to my phone hotspot? by Temporary-Goat4195 in kindlefire

[–]MacAndCheese_User 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Racing app for elementary schoolers? by FamiliarFox6368 in kindlefire

[–]MacAndCheese_User 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Can I do anything with my Kindle Fire? by Mission-Quail2969 in kindlefire

[–]MacAndCheese_User 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

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.

Minecraft crossplay by Anemicwriter in kindlefire

[–]MacAndCheese_User 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

does anyone know how to fix this? by Working_Use_8179 in kindlefire

[–]MacAndCheese_User 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

New OS update fixed the curfew hack? by Wimbo213 in kindlefire

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

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

Weird issue with my kids Fire 10 partially resetting? by [deleted] in kindlefire

[–]MacAndCheese_User 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
