yeah, edited to C&C, ta!
No 2 year guarantee though, can't fault JL CS
Nice enough tablet though, but I wouldn't use it day to day - Prefer pure android.
IIRC you can modify the stock firmware depending on the firmware version e.g. replace the launcher, remove adverts, add Google play, etc.
it's not the same price this is 4p cheaper
They aren't quick. And there aren't many apps that you can install without a lot of messing about.
I guess it all depends on what you need it for. I got mine purely for watching Amazon prime videos, netflix and Kodi when I travel. I don't think its much use for much more than this with the lack of apps in the amazon store.
I find that it is, but it's mainly for my daughter who has her own profile.. I'm not sure if having 2 profiles slows is down? The screen is also very poor but the main comparison is an old fire HDX which did cost a bit more. I might try giving her the main profile (if I can keep some controls) and also see if I can get a faster SD card and see if that helps.
Thanks for getting back to me . Sounds like money down the drain rather than a bargain
Thanks - I'll look into any further mods, I do find the default skin to be a little annoying as I will never buy books, movies or apps from Amazon.
Hehehehe, it's the generic nature of every 'game' out there really?.
'Self' first, 'Consumer' second ..... (though in the thick of things, every once in a while that is, the tide does move back and forth somewhat?) :-)
So yes the FireOS is restrictive and if it was only that and buying everything off the Amazon ecosystem, I would have gave up ages ago. The saving grace was I could get Netflix on it, so between Netflix and Amazon Video, theres enough to watch.
However, I was missing vitals things like Now TV (which I subscribe too) and Chrome as a decent browser, as well as many native Google apps like Maps, You Tube etc.
Then I found out you can side load the Google Play onto the device, by installing the Google APK files (like executables) onto the device via USB, and voila, we have Google Play Store thus allowing you to download anything that is on Google Play Store Wont link to anything as I dont want you blame me for bricking your device, but its been working a charm for me.
I mainly use the Fire 7" as a media consumer for train journies with the odd bit of surfing, and for £30-40, I'm willing to forgive some of its shortcomings. Surprisingly the screen is very usable, yes its not the greatest resolution but the viewing angles are decent.
tbh no, lower resolution, lower power, lower everything apart from weight
I did the same. ResRemix I think, haven't updated it since then (if there is an update haven't checked) but still find it slower and less responsive then FireOS tbh.
Toss up really for what you want. I still only use it as a Kindle using the app but without the restrictiveness of the Amazon crap.
If you wanted to use it a s fully fledged tablet then it would be lacking imho.
Some games I tried wouldn't play or were awful (Walking Dead titles), Fallout was slow and Hitman Sniper was pathetic and Go was slow.
If I find the time I might wipe and update see if its any better since.
It was £29. Enough said really.
reckon screen is just over three inches smaller against SP3 (diaagonal)! And if you want to stream Amazon video to TV you will also have to buy Amazon dongle
I recommend somewhere like XDA-Developers.
X) Thanks, I'm aware it's smaller. Was more wondering if you can comfortably watch films on this during a long flight. I love the screen on my Surface but when I'm travelling with hand luggage only it's a bulky thing (with a case on) and it also needs it's own charger.
Liking the idea of the Fire tablet because it's smaller and can charge via standard USB (correct?). But just wondering if it's too small or not for most people.
Also separate question, does this have Bluetooth so I can connect it to my Bose headset?
It's a 10 minute job to put Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Lollipop) on this and everything works perfectly. No prospect of Marshmallow or Lollipop until someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader.
i watch it in bed before i go to sleep yes its a bit small but once you have your headphones in and get into the movie you forget about it being small .hope this helps
Not quite so a generic 'like for like' is it?.
Amazon Kids Tablet has a hardened Polystyrene Protective Casing around it (first and foremost), secondly it has a 2 Year included Subscription to lots of Kids oriented Content - Games, TV Episodes, TV Films and the like, for free! (which will then set you back £6.99 Per Month, thereafter!), and thirdly (but MOST importantly), is this, Amazon Kids Tablet INCLUDES 2 Years worth of free DELIBERATE Breakdown/Repair, and/or Replace Service built-in to that £100 Kids Tablet Package of theirs?, so ..... for an UNLIMITED amount if time! (eg. IF your little one's butter fingers are more buttery than butter!, you could literally send it back to them on a basis of one once each and every Month to get it 'sorted', for/throughout the whole duration of the 2 Year window that your little ones Kids Tablet is valid for!)
Your previously above aforementioned don't even compare with the Kids one in any way? (not even close ... )
It's like that legendary free 2 Years John Lewis Warrantee/Guarantee, BUT, for the masses?!.
There's a reason why on HUKD hands down (more often than not?), John Lewis 'stuffs' far excel beyond the realms of the exact same equivalent Product selling in otherwise also notable Retail Chains from the likes of Tesco, Sainsbury's, Currys, PC World, and the like, regardless?, or ..... (whether your prepared, and/or happy to then/therefore pay any additional 'extras' in leu of that fact etc?, is an entirely different argument in itself entirely ..... lol). :-)
Yes.
My wife seems perfectly happy with hers for web browsing, email and watching Amazon video.
My wife seems perfectly happy with hers for web browsing, email and watching Amazon video. On the odd occasion I've borrowed it for web access it seems to work well enough. If your requirements aren't too demanding, it works fine.
Attention to detail!:D
