Opinions On the Amazon Fire (5th gen) - Fire General

I picked mine up last week for the $35 Black Friday sale and it is the best 7-inch (although it isn't exactly that large) tablet I have ever owned in my opinion.

I would think the same thing if I could just get music apps to work on it

At $35 I think it's fracking fabulous!
I got a 2nd one that I might give to an older friend of my family. Just set up as little more than a media player (movies, tv shows, music loaded onto the sd card). Using SlimLP or CM & set up to be as easy to use as possible. At $35, why not?
A 3rd one for a friends child (moderated use / screen time).
And I almost feel like I should have got yet another one. Just to keep on hand in case I think of someone I'd like to give it to. If it had built-in gps I probably would have got one to set up & give as a car gps. You can grab gps off a phone over BT but it's just not as nice as built-in.

Are you on the stock amazon OS, SlimLP or CM12.1? What music apps aren't working for you?

Its better than the original Fire, which I have owned for a few years & had it on LP before it died. The experience here has improved noticeably, especially when installing apps in the background or using PDFs (both would really lag the OG KF).
General performance for reading is excellent, I open PDFs mostly that are ~20-50pgs usually and I can read them lag-free. The Kindle app seems alright too, didn't have issues with storing books, so will move onto comics/manga at some point.
Screen? Looks acceptable to me, but the min brightness is too bright for me. It's much brighter than other LCD/IPS based devices I've used.
Overall the experience so far has been better than with my Encore Mini, which randomly stopped charging not long after the return window.

It happens on all 3, spotify, pandora and even local music players like apollo crash the system when the screen is off.
Oh and the screen is a fingerprint magnet that is a bit difficult to clean.

Haven't tried any streaming yet but just tried an mp3 on VLC, no problem with screen off. I'm on the most recent slimLP.

Ok, tried pandora . . . no problem at all. Tried screen off via power button, auto timeout & double tab status bar to sleep.
Your Fire just don't like you! Or you could try the latest slimLP.

I am on slimLP, have you tried keeping it for at least 30 minutes with screen off? It usually crashes mine within 15 minutes.

For$35 this thing is great! Thanks to the devs we can install Google play and basically make this a normal Android tablet and hide all the Amazon crapware. It's pretty responsive if you ask me. The screen isn't the best, but it's not a breaker by any means.

Best at all 7 inch using it as remote control with droimote app for my shield tv that is the reason,because I was using my phone,with CM12 pretty fast.

For the $35 I spent it is definitely worth it. My biggest gripe is the screen. They don't appear to have compensated for the pixel shape. It is slightly condensed in portrait and slightly wider in landscape. This is noticeable with text and icons. Since this is a kindle device I am kind of surprised. That said, the resolution is not as bad as I expected. Also amazon really needs more functionality to interact with with the Firetv. The other downer is there is not even a basic integration of Alexa or dictation.

No I didn't test over 15min originally, thought it was crashing right away on you.
Today, I'm currently over 30 min on pandora. Screen was turned off via power button. When I hit over 1 hour I'll test screen off via auto timeout. I know it really shouldn't make a difference at all but I'll try it anyway.

These things are the BOMB with CM on them. Kinda suck with the Amazon modified OS. I had all sorts of trouble getting some apps to work, even after root/market.

Best tablet I've ever owned I paid £50 for mine would have gotten another if I had the money black friday
Sent from my Amazon Fire 2015

I bought the tablet for my mom on ebay about a week before it even went on sale (Stupid me, forgot all about black friday/cyber monday and couldn't return) and this thing is pretty slick. I actually went ahead and bought one for myself for the $35 and it'll be here next week. I spent a lot of time looking at different tablets, specs (screen size, ppi, resolution, processor brand/speed/technology, RAM/size/ddr2/ddr3, and a few other things) and this thing is well worth it.
Some might say 7" is small but once you've got it in your hand it feels really good, might not be a 720p resolution for those HD movies but 7" or 10" your eyes are not going to notice a difference.
I don't think I'll keep the Fire OS on mine, wanting to just install android but I'm keeping the Fire OS on my moms. It's got a lot of bloatware it needs hidden but she's going to use it primarily for book reading, so a lot of the Fire OS stuff will work well for her.

This tablet is a steal. I bought two during the Black Friday sale.
I hid all the bloat and installed PlayStore for my mom. After letting my brother and mom use it for a few hours, they really like it. Especially since it is small. When my second one comes in, hopefully tomorrow, I'm going to try one of the custom ROMs available. After messing with it for a bit, I'll give it to my sister and see how she likes it.
My main tablet is an 8" Windows 10 tablet. There are times when I miss using an Android based tablet. So I will definitely borrow this from my sister frequently.

Just to say you aren't alone. Only used the stock rom with some of the stuff trimmed and didn't actually realise that was why it was stopping until checking after reading this yesterday. I just thought I'd reached the end of album/playlist as I wasn't paying enough attention. Playback stopped quite quickly on poweramp even though it was supposed to be looping an album.

I think its great. And it is already seeing a bit of development which I am excited about. Mine is currently rocking cm 12.1 and running like a dream. A quad core processor with a decent panel for $50-35$ is nuts.

Release Preview vs Consumer Preview?

Hello forum.
I was just wondering what is the main difference between the new Release preview and consumer preview? Is it like a better version of windows 8?
Thanks
to be blunt the whole thing is a lot more polished
The apps work a lot better, the graphics are better
So far stability is better. I don't have a multi monitor setup on this PC just now but apparently that's been improved
Metro looks a lot more usable, the tiles are a much more sensible size.
is it worth the upgrade over the CP?
without a doubt, Music, email (exchange works again), messaging, people, hubs all working sweet. I still don't like the people hub compared to Windows phone, but its a big improvement over CP
I think they did alot of work on drivers too, im not having anymore of the many driver issues i had at first, just finger scanner. The stability is great, and its faster.

What issues? I use Chrome with Windows Release Preview and it works fine.
Just saying Release is having some issues with chrome doesn't tell us what the problem is, we need more information to help you with it.
EDIT: Sorry, I just saw your thread and I have replied to it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what your problem is as Chrome and Flash both work fine on my netbook running the same OS.

"Keep Wi-Fi on during Sleep" settings do not stick

I wanted to set my TF300 to keep WiFi on, ONLY when plugged after the screen turns off... but that setting NEVER sticks.
Any ideas? Anyone else having issues with this? This is my 2nd TF300, since I had to return my first one (sluggish performance, display not responsive, etc), and this also happened on the first one.
I can't get it to stick either. I'm using Advanced Wi-Fi Lock, free in the market and it works like a champ.

its probably a bug, im sure ive heard similar things with the one x - possibly an ics thing even.
Of course it's a bug... But any fix or solution available?
I think it may be an ICS bug. I have another ICS tablet that does the exact same thing. And its a cheap Ainol.

I was thinking exactly the same ... Sorry for the "sad autumn scenes" .. but that is how it looks like in germany
You´re right.. sad weather here.
Most important question: Where did you get the cover from? Is it real bamboo? no. but it looks great!
I found a similar one on aliexpress which is not quite as cool: http://de.aliexpress.com/item/For-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-2-Case-Wood-Bamboo-Pattern-Plastic-Hard-Cover-for-Hongmi-Red-Rice/32446301897.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_9,searchweb201527_1_71_72_73_74_75,searchweb201560_9
Note the "german" company "ludde & urbain" haha! some chinese probably thought about Heckler&Koch or Lange&Söhne .. and note the futuristic 3D-Printer which magically "3Dsurrounds" granite and bamboo on the cheap plastic. The Chinese have marketing and advertising from the stone age. really. Which, again reminds me that xiaomi got a lot of trouble for their advertising too.. lately. Especially concerning the redmi note´s display and camera AND the huge fine they are facing because of using superlatives in their advertising.
But to be fair and honest.. turn on ARD at 19:00 and watch the ads.. your sleep will improve and your guts will learn to sh*t again.

I just realized that I am running your rom since last week.
People on decuro including myself noticed some serious problems with their rom with receiving SMS, some Important apps not working AND huge battery drain since 5.9.24 .
So I switched to your rom and choosed 5.9.18 because someone mentioned he didn´t have any battery drain trouble on this version. All works good for me, but is it safe now to update?

I think it wont take much time until someone makes a custom kernel with double tap to wake support.
So after almost a year do you still own the phone and are you satisfied? Battery still holding up? I'm looking into it now and the only thing I'm worried about is the battery. And whether I'll find this phone in my country (Serbia).

I like it. Screen is nice. Battery life is great (got over 8 SOT first night). It never gets hot. PERFECT size for reading comic books.
Negatives: Might be slightly underpowered. I've felt some lags and frame skipping in the animations. Speaker is not great. Not having root is a (hopefully temporary) drag. "Android OS" is keeping my tablet from deep sleeping and I don't know how to tell what is actually keeping it awake.

Sorry to be so off topic here but after using the tablet for a few more days I can say the only game it really "struggled" with (frame skipping) was Lara Craft Go. I've played Limbo, KotOR and others since and only ever caught the occasional lag. I'm very impressed with the Snapdragon 617, so impressed I ordered a Moto G that uses the same chip.
Can you play 60fps video in YouTube? Mine doesn't display it as an option (will only go up to 480p in videso with 720p/60fps and 1080p/60fps

this is just ridiculous

Had the phone since this past Sunday and have only charged it one time. Phone came delivered with 100% battery straight from Amazon. I literally am dumbfounded as to how efficient this thing is and how snappy and lagless it is as well. I'll let the screenshots do the rest of the talking. This phone is amazing!
It runs on magic and unicorns. I used to be all stingy with battery back when I had my Moto G 2014 but once I got this little beast I stopped caring, even when foregoing all optimizations I still get at least 8 hours of SoT.
Im really curious is this more of a SD625 thing or a Motorola thing.
A thorough head to head with the other 625s would be interesting
Honestly, my best devices have been Moto phones, even after the Lenovo take over.

Agreed. Hardware/spec choices were made for usability and power efficiency, rather than to fight in a spec war.
