Kindle Fire - transfer settings to new device

GlennD · 04-18-2019, 12:30 AM

I'm trying to help my daughter switch over to a new Kindle Fire....she's at college so the devices aren't in my hand. Her old fire is dying but she's really concerned about losing settings/preferences/bookmarks etc. I'm used to the ipad method of device transfer (just sign in and it's like magic

).....can anyone point me at any sites that detail transferring all of your settings to a new device? I've searched on Amazon's help pages, and they're just dealing with the content itself.

amazon has the same system - old device auto syncs to amazon servers, new device uses that info when registered to same account.
sync is automatic but you can force one from settings for extra peace of mind.

it only syncs amazon app settings so if you sideloaded google store, apps, chrome etc you need to take care of that.[if you don't have those, get them - greatly improces tablet - google or search here for detailed how-to].
but install those on new device, sign into chrome and you are almost done..

Please ask questions about the Fire in the Fire forum, to where I’m moving this.

My bad, Harry. I don’t frequent the kindle forums much and didn’t realize there is a separate sub forum. Thank you for moving it.
