This was my biggest problem with the Amazon Fire OS, you cannot totally remove the lock screen, which is extremely annoying. As far as battery on the HD8, it’ll go easily 7-8 hours w/the screen on before its dead. The brightness does automatically adjust to the light levels in the room so, I never really need to tweak it. I keep the brightness just below the halfway mark. I completely disabled sleep by using adbLink (directions here). Like I said, I keep it on 24/7 and its been on since February w/no issues. If you unplug power, it will go completely asleep and you’ll have to hit the power button then defeat the dreaded lock screen. Now, when the tablet goes to sleep, the screen gets very dim.

If you enable the “developer options” there is an option to “stay awake” (if it is plugged into power). If the tablet is plugged in all the time you can do something similar but, it doesn’t go completely black.

For everywhere else, I like the display on 24/7. I would be really interested in a function like that for a wall hung device in my bedroom/hallway.

Feel free to discuss anything (tips/tricks/hacks) about the fire tablets here… The added benefit is these can replace an Alexa device. Since I used adbLink to disable the screen from shutting off, I do not see the lock screen. It could be annoying and I hate amazon as a company for this BS. What this means is there are adds at the lock-screen. Other Notes: These are ad supported tablets. (you need to be good with a soldering iron!) I used double faced tape to hold the tablet up. These aren’t the exact cables I used, but these cables have magnetic tips that make it much better for picking up and returning to the stand (bonus is the led helps you find the plug in the dark) - Linkįor my wall mount tablet I used this plug LINK soldered to a 22awg wire fished down the wall to a plug in the basement. Battery life is tremendous even though I modded them to always keep the screen on (no signs of image retention either). I’ve been using these with great success as dedicated HR tablets! I have the HD10 wall mounted in my kitchen and have two HD8s that sit on stands in other rooms. Please share anything from photos to configurations. Feel free to discuss anything regarding the fire tablets or comparable devices. This thread was originally started as a PSA for the Prime Day sale for the Fire tablets.
