Amazon deliberately making old units obsolete?
On 2-27-26, an update to the Prime Video App (version firetablet.436.3350.001 [436335010] ) was deployed. It broke the full-screen mode on my Kindle Fire HD 8 tablet for ALL Amazon Prime movies.

Location Services
Does anyone know how to get location services working on a new Fire HD 8? Tried everything Amazon suggested, no luck. Need it to work for HuluLive. I’ve checked weather and map apps, none can find my location. I know it doesn’t have a GPS, but should work with WiFi. And yes, I have WiFi and Bluetoot

Fire HD 8 Plus: Wireless debugging turns itself off?!
Hey everyone,
I’ve got five Fire HD 8 Plus tablets and I’m trying to run ViewAssist and FullyKiosk on them. For ViewAssist to work, it needs microphone permissions — but those get revoked every few hours. Okay, fine, I looked it up and apparently it’s a known bug in FireOS that’s been around for ye

Best tablet for comics on Kindle app?
I have a Fire HD 8 which worked well until the Comixology app died. The Kindle app is sometimes fine, but currently it is hit or miss on if it will even download a comic, and often when I open a downloaded comic, it shows the cover, but the rest of the pages are blank. Apparently when a book shows a

Can I use a wired Xbox One controller with XCloud?
I’ve been using my Bluetooth Xbox one controllers with XCloud for a while, but the Bluetooth seems to interfere with the streaming quality, making the games unplayable at times. Could I use an OTG cable to play with a wired controller instead, or is this feature not supported?
For reference, I’m r
