Amazon Kindle Fire HD - User Reviews

  • Bought this at a Tesco branch reduced to make room for newer version for 38 Euro, my friend got one too, and I am typing on it now. It has been the best stand by handy tablet for basic things with a big enough screen and brilliant battery life , very sturdy no bullshit like the Lenovo tab I paid 140 for and was toast within 4 months, . Would highly recommend as a gift for the less fussy family members. Keeps going, good picture and does what I need apart from casting or tv out but apparently it has that capability but I had an iPhone before that used to do tv out and after an upgrade it didn't work with the cable I had anymore. Typical to try get you to buy more gadgets. But I love my kindle fire hd. Definitely a bargain.

  • This is the worst tablet money can buy! No whatsApp, No Chrome or FireFox! the app store is only full of stupid kiddish games... I will sell it for $5.

  • How do you download movies? I will be flying and was wondering how i can watch movies while flying?

  • I have a serious problem with my tablet. When i try to browse with wifi, i receive contineous error messages that prevent me from browsing...there is system mal functioning... I please need help with this.

  • What is the problem with lenovo A8

  • What is the problem with lenovo A8

  • have you ever tried whats app on this?

  • Yes, I did that and it's amazing.

  • Just download a free small program called moon reader. Not only will that allow you to read pretty much anything, but the reading options it has (like auto page scrolling, font selection and size adjustment, and also different paper style backgrounds) are very good and make for much more easy and enjoyable reading. Hope this helps.

  • Amazon kindle fire he would be an awesome device if it was epub compatible for downloading epub applications online. However, it's still an amazing device.

  • I suggest putting CyanogenMod 11 on the Kindle. It is AOSP, and pulls some great performance out of it. It is clean, and performs as a full Android tablet.

  • Yes I use blue tooth keyboard

  • is external keyboard is supported

  • Love my fire HD now I've flashed it with cyanogen mod 11 , the kindle software is pants!!

  • to all having problems with the build in ads on the lock screen, I have a solution for that problem without paying another extra 15 dollars on Amazon Go to your kindle settings go to help and feedbacks go to feedback, and then send them a message about your complain or opinion about the amazon offers (advertisement) on your lock screen being unnecessary or useless...politely within a few minutes they will send you a message regarding on your complain and apologizing for the inconvenience it caused you,and with it automatically removing amazon offers or the advertisement on your lock screen (the time frame i have is based on my experience) and that's it,I hope it helped and i know it will. Your Welcome :D

  • Fair point... I was just saying you're better off getting something else like the Lenovo Tab A8

  • I think it's a great tablet. Okay, maybe it hasn't got the biggest app store, and would be be better to have the full ICS experience. But please, stop complaning about tiny things like the lock screen wallpaper and home screen background beacause honestly, how much time do you spend on these screens? Not much. You'd be much better off getting this than say, an iPod touch 4th gen for the same price, but then again, the best option (in my opinion) is just to get a £100 Android tablet like a Lenovo Tab A8. Goodbye ;)

  • Not impressed... The App Store is tiny, no camera's and the OS isn't very customisable: you can't change you're home screen wallpaper (it's always black, blue if you get parental controls), and the lock screen has to be adverts. There's a good side though, it has great speakers, long battery life and an acceptional processor. If you're thinking of buying this tablet, you should probably try something else.

  • May be the other 200mb are for the OS to run smoothly

  • u have one more option with good specification like os android,dual speaker,processor 1.5 dual core processor,front camera 1.3mp and over all u can access to over 4 million collectionsss

  • Android OS takes a huge part of the RAM to make the device run smoothly as in the graphics is shared with the RAM so hence u don't get the entire 1GB that is specified. Also there are many default stock apps that run in the background, that is the biggest disadvantage of using Android but on the whole it is a very user friendly OS :)

  • The specs says it has 1gb of ram but 3 different memory optimizing software shows it has 751mb of ram likely its 768mb. I wonder where the other 249mb is....

  • Yes u can .

  • Yes, It has Front facing HD camera.

  • Kindle Fire HD 7", Dolby Audio, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, 16 GB - Includes Special Offers

  • can any one say me that this one have front camera or not?can i make skype video call in this tab?

  • there is no better device so little money (199) can buy!google play store and other alternative stores,its about few min work..rooting,lol,1min..amazon account with us adress and test credit card,and you can download from Amazon appstore..its "only" 4.0.3. ICS?!..who care..UI is smooth and looks better then most "fancy" and "all kind color mix" jelly beans..color reproduction is on pair with iPad lcd..if you are not fanboy or using more then AnTuTu app,this device is best buy 7" tablet..wifi+internet browser it about 9% battery for 1h,what you want more?..and games?..sure,i play real racing3,soulcraft,they all going without any problems..so,there is no any fame about "pure" android and similar fanboys arguments..this tablet rocks in his class..yes,there is no shame to pay only 199 for class tablet with 32gb.

  • hey you too in india , will you suggest me something about this tab ??

  • This is my gift from someone. and i want to know , is this tab is okay to use in india ? can i access the all apps of android .pls reply me at my email id

  • Seach for playstore.apk online and install it and register for an google account. after that you will be able to download applications from playstore.

  • throw out and smash it with harmmer. it will change the setting.

  • My son gifted the kindle fire hd tablet to me. He purchased it in USA. I am living in Chennai Tamilnadu.But I am not able to download anything. It's says change the country settings. Any one Pl help me.

  • when registering your device, you should supply a billing address.

  • your device must be rooted

  • gud day sir/mam my wife have this divice were from philippines wer having troble to dawnlod games and ather apps evendo its free what shuld we do tnx

  • hye bro, r u from bd?..will plz make a user review about this?..plz consider itsprice..i hv plan to buy it..

  • Exynos may the best chipset for cheaper tablet but not The Best quality as nvidia..tiomap(tuna) are just lame...Amazon kindle are made for pure Amazon product which is playstore not their main things..Amazon kindle mostly are based from eBook reader with adding some useful entertaiment and may not the best stuff for Google playstore.

  • great little tab if you know what your doing that is

  • i agree to the opinions given below.this tab is actualy made for selling amazon store products.if u living in u.k /u.s etc and regular buyer of amazon product.otherwise its a real deception/ nightmare in 200 dollars.the blind recomendation is ASUS GOOGLE NEXUS 7.

  • Dont buy this. no play store,no google apps lots of application not supported. u have to use amazon account for download apps. but from bangladesh u can not download any apps country not supported. and the launcher will kill u. i root my kindle and install 3rd party launcher like holo launcher hd, nova launcher, apex launcher. nexus 7 is far far better from kindle. Amazon please update to jelly beans, add task manager, change the launcher, add google play google apps, don't cheat with customer.

  • It's rooted, at least for now. Therefore, Play Store, etc. are technically available, though obviously without Amazon's blessing.

  • Don't buy this. This tablet has no access to the play store. You can get amazon content on all true android tablets.

  • Which CHIPSET is best?? 1. Exynos 4210 in Samsung GT P6200 or 2. TI OMAP 4430 in Samsung GT P3100 or 3. Nvidia Tegra 2 in Samsung GT 10.1 P7500?? Lastly.. Which Tablet should i buy.. Samsung P3100 or this Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7"??

  • yeah, this tab is nice. considering the price attached to this product, this is nice. if you want tablet like this able to call n msg, maybe the price will increase by 50% or 100%.

  • nice tab Bt people want gsm tab so that we can use it for calling n msg N easy net connectivity

  • no comments no review!!!!!!!!!!!

  • old gpu. should be 543
