Simple as hark android tablet. Any suggestions?

Plumbo · 05-31-2019, 03:52 PM

So after a while, I noticed that my Kindle Fire Tablet is not responding at all.

I'm considering whether to just buy a kindle ereader or get a decent new one. I really didn't like the lack of options to change the bootloader very much.

Any advice on what to get? Thanks lovelies.

Are you looking for an eInk reading device or an LCD Android tablet? They are very different requirements.

try a soft reset, and if needed a factory reset, on the Fire tablet before giving up on it
soft reset. hold down power button - ignore prompts - until it shuts down after abotu 30 secs. then power on. that cleans stuff up without deleting any apps or content.
factory reset is a seeings option I think
a new fire tablet is dirt cheap in amazon sales, about half the price of a paperwhite - depends what you want.

I agree on the reset. But if you want an equivalent tablet but it's Android not "FireOS", try the new Walmart Onn tablet for $64. I've been happy with it so far and have been a fan of the Fire Tablets since they came out.

good suggestion, but only available in USA though - e.g. I am in UK and I don't think there's anyway I could buy that Walmart one, if I wanted to ? unless W do cheap global shipping ?

Ah....don't know. Well, a quick google: https://www.usgobuy.com/en/us-online-shops/walmart.html

Haven't ever used this service myself.

It is always a good idea to place your location in the information displayed on the side. It helps when you want a suggestion that is applicable to your question.
