I bought a Fire HD8 a YEAR or so AGO, tried to figure it out & stuffed it back in the box. TODAY, I found YOU!!!! Thank you SO MUCH FOR A PERFECT WALK-THROUGH .... I got it up and running as you spoke "to me". With age comes EASY frustration! YOU made this EASY to do. THANKS A MILLION!!!

[@pattiowen-slater8682]

WOW I wasted 2 hours last night trying to figure out what to do to set up my fire 8 plus. I have found a savior in your presentation!!! Friendly and timely just like a good neighbor Thanks!!! Pattio

[@01ANGELCAT]

I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one kzbin.infoUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!

How do you allow mock locations? I was able to do it on my old kindle. I have a ninth generation now and I can't figure it out. Please help.

[@glendajohnson3132]

Please help...I previously had the feature of having all of my photos that I take using my smartphone, would be also automatically copied to my Amazon Tablet. Somehow I believe some of my settings on my tablet got changed last week when I was having an issue with my tablet. Can you tell me which settings I should check to restore this feature?

[@olderthandadirt]

When I purchased from Amazon it said Alexa does not work in Canada on the tablet any idea why? Amazon also said they would link it to my account so I am hoping that is done, will it change the set up? All prices are insane in Canada so I bought 3 year old gently used for $100. and am just getting the tablet is it a standard Android charger that I will need? Thanks

You both should restart your tablet. I was in the same situation and I just restarted it and now it works.

Extremely complicated for me. My first tablet. Until I figure it out, it sucks!!!

[@jimpierce3138]

How do you program a wireless speaker to an Amazon Fire HD8 plus tablet?

[@EricAcevedo]

Open settings > Bluetooth. Put your speaker in pairing mode and choose it when it appears on your tablet.

[@juniorjr7536]

Do you gotta have a credit card to set this up? Or does this go off of the accounts balance? I'm looking to get myself a Fire HD for my birthday and really need to know.

[@EricAcevedo]

I believe you can use a prepaid visa and then fund the account with gift cards if you don't want to use a credit card.

[@juniorjr7536]

@@EricAcevedo Nice.. Thanks.. This puts my mind at ease because I use Gift Cards rather than Credit/Debit.

[@celiagarza3778]

Hi.. I have the same question i bought my child an hd10 and on the registration its asking me for credit card info.. Im new to this.. so why does it need that info is it only for when you want to buy game i don't want my daughter to be installing games $ i dont know if i should return it and get a samsung that has playstore downloaded

[@dianemason4215]

In trying to register, I enter my email address and the password I use at Amazon, and it says there is an error. I don't know what else to do. On my laptop, I log on to Amazon easily with the same information. Why isn't this working?

[@DharmaGirl61]

I get the same issue because I erased ads, put Google and KZbin and more on it using Developer mode. If you did anything like that, this may be why. Also, if you bought an Amazon fire for anyone else--I bought one for my husband, Amazon may think you have already registered your own tablet, so call them and explain.

[@louisetahmoush8935]

I started to start my tablet and got to ordering a book on amazon at which time I closed the kindle now I have a triangle with and explanation mark on the screen what do I do??

[@nickybawenney]

Can I connect my 8 inch fire tablet to TV ? If yes what would I need?

[@EricAcevedo]

The Amazon store has a variety of apps that "say" they can cast to a TV. You'd have to do your homework on that one. I've not tried them. You may be better just purchasing an Amazon Fire TV stick on sale for $25 if you want to watch movies, etc.

[@EricAcevedo]

One time I shared my Amazon tablet screen to a TV using Zoom, a Chromebook, and a TV with a Chromecast device. I created a Zoom call with myself on the tablet and laptop, shared my tablet screen, and casted the laptop to the TV. A bit tedious to setup but it worked. 😊

[@alexiaprince6136]

This may be a stupid question but why do you have to put a credit card number on there? Is that required for this device to work.

[@EricAcevedo]

It's required so that you can purchase apps on the device. They do accept gift cards.

[@samuelg6386]

Can you put a usb stitch do move data ?

[@EricAcevedo]

Yes, you can use the micro USB cable that comes with the tablet (or USB C with newer tablets) and connect to a computer, or external drive to transfer data. You can also upload content to your Amazon Cloud Drive using your computer, and that content will then be available on your Fire tablet. Hope this helps.

[@samuelg6386]

Eric Acevedo thank you

I have an Amazon account but I can't sign in. It shows registration error. I says it does not match an Amazon account, however I know my info is correct.

The Fire HD 8 cannot but the HD 8 Plus does support wireless charging.

Can you show a video on how to install KZbin as it’s not as straight forward

[@EricAcevedo]

Well, the "official" KZbin app is not (yet) available on the Fire Tablet. It was recently added to the Fire TV stick so I am hopeful that it will one day be available on the tablet. In the meantime, there are a few 3rd party apps that call themselves KZbin. I use one with a blue icon that shows youtube.com. It's basically a shortcut link to the web version. You can also just use the Silk web browser and access KZbin from there and save it as a bookmark.

Hi why does it need payment information sorry im new to this i got this for my 4 yr old hope you can help me out ohh and should the email registration go under her name or my name thank you

[@EricAcevedo]

Similar to smartphones, credit card information is required in order to pay for any games, apps, etc that you might purchase from their app store. I suggest you set up the account using your email.

I don't think you can get rid of those. But you can get rid of promotions that appear in the top row of the Home screen. Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Amazon App Settings > Home Screens > and disable "Show New Items on the Home Page" and "Recommendations".
