iPad for tabletop navigator?

Cheapest way - Amazon Fire tablet (8" is a reasonable price), enable the real Google Play store vs the stupid Amazon Fire store...which you can easily do, then put the C4 app on it, and the "Fully Single App Kiosk" app. It'll be locked in as a C4 only android device. The Fire 8 tablet is $99 and usu

The Best Tablets

Tablets aren’t just “big phones” anymore. I’ve found them to be surprisingly versatile, perfect for streaming Netflix in bed, catching up on emails at the cafe, or sketching out ideas when I don’t feel like pulling out a laptop. The right one can pretty much replace multiple gadgets if you pick care

HD 8 10th Gen. suddenly has terrible battery life

Kindle Fire HD 8 10th Generation

I've been getting pretty good battery life with this device, around 10-12 hours on a full charge and then out of nowhere it's been down to around 5-6 hours.

I do have some sideloaded apps from F-Droid and Aurora Store. I don't think that's the problem, though.

I'v

Why I sold my Tab S3 and got a Fire HD 8

Obviously I know the Tab S3 is worth a lot more than the Fire HD 8, but I made a conscious choice to sell the former and get the latter. Several reasons for that:

  1. As has been noted numerous times, there is a shrinking list of things that a tablet can do that you can't do with your other devices. I

CarPlay on a Amazon Fire Tablet - under £100!

After contemplating for a while whether to remove my stereo in my car and replace it with a third party CarPlay compatible stereo, I’ve decided against it. First of all, CarPlay compatible headunits are expensive and even though I have a Masters in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

Kindle fire HD spy!

Hello Reddit, I put 'advanced permission master' on my Kindle fire HD 8 2017 tablet because it was running very slow, so that I could see what apps were automatically starting at boot. I noticed one called 'special offers' which seems innocent as I had bought the special offers version.

Not only d

Fire HD 8, battery running down when not being used and Alexa app seems to be the cause

Yesterday my Fire HD 8 went from 100% battery to zero without being turned on or taken out of my bag at work. When I recharged it a little, the GSAM Battery monitor showed that the Alexa app had used most of the battery charge. I have turned off the Hands-Free function but it still looks like it is

Any NVIDIA Shield K1 users?

I had an NVIDIA Shield K1 back when I was like, 16. I'm looking to replace a shite Kindle Fire HD 8 that lags like crazy and has a poor screen. I know the Shield is pretty old now, but I'm wondering how it does with Lineage (Android 9/10 maybe?)

Not for gaming, not for any high end tasks honestly,

Fire HD 8 won't turn on without AC adapter, after adding Google Play Store.

I have a Fire HD 8, 10th generation, Fire OS 7.3.3.1. I successfully added the Google Play store, following the typical directions found at multiple sites (allowing apps from unknown sources, downloading and installing the four required APK's etc.).

Everything worked just fine; Google Play store is
