How to turn a Fire tablet into an Echo Show

[@Robert016able]

Nice video! But I have a major problem with Show Mode. Could use your help. I have both a Fire Tablet HD 8 and 10+. When I switch each of them to Show Mode, if idle, they drop out of Show Mode after about 1 hour max on average. I tried all settings, developer options, switch toggles and configurations. I cannot seem to get Show Mode to always STAY in Show Mode. Doesn't matter if those devices are on battery, plugged in or docked. Same problem. Looks like a deliberate OS restriction by Amazon. to avoid excessive battery drain on the devices. Or, am I doing something wrong? How do you get your devices to STAY in Show Mode, once you activate Show Mode? Is there another hack or Toolbox option I can try? The OS on both devices are up to date. Many thanks for your help!

Apparently this is only a feature if you're located in the USA. I bought a new fire tablet 8 HD just for this feature, however, its not an option in Canada....very disappointed. Hope this fix this soon!
