#SET DEFAULT LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE PDF#
In Google Play Books tap 3 bars top left, then >Settings >Enable PDF uploading, and check the box. I found that Google Play Books can defeat Kindle at opening PDFs. Sure you don't have Google Books or another app that reads (may not actually open) PDFs? Tried to stopped Kindle from opening PDFs - option to clear defaults was grayed out under >Settings >Apps >Amazon Kindle >Launch by Default. Years later (now) added Kindle Reader App. Had Google Play Books installed and File Manger +. I just want to use another app without jumping through the hoops to open PDF File.Ĭlick to expand.Similar problem with a tablet (NeKit Kat 4.4.4 - really old stuff). I call Amazon on the phone and get transferred and put on hold until my phone rings and I take another call and then amazon hangs up. I have tried the Kindle forums and get no response from the community. If I reinstall Kindle, it takes it right back and insists it is the app to open the PDF file.
I have uninstalled Kindle, and get the "no app to open this file" (even though I have installed a file manager that could handle it previously) If I reinstall a new app, it's fine. I have no other apps installed at this time to open the PDF file. But if I just click on the PDF file, Kindle starts up - takes forever - and opens, categorizes, and massages the file uselessly. If I start the other app and open a PDF file, it's fine. I click on it and there is a " Clear Defaults" button which is faded out and unclickable. The only option of any consequence here is " Open by Default" which says " No defaults set. I go to the setup -> General -> Apps -> Amazon Kindle. Now I want to use another app to open it, but AMAZON KINDLE refuses to relinquish control. But I don't like it for a number of reasons but mostly, It is slow. When I went to open up a PDF file, I was offered the option to use Kindle, since that was all that I had at the time and it was time-critical information so I just used Kindle.

Last November I got an Aristo with Android 7.0 installed.
I used to have a PDF reader on my old phone. If it doesn't, might it be that the app you are using to open the PDF is itself choosing to open it using Kindle, rather than go through the OS? Alternatively, adding a new app which can also handle the intent should prompt the system to ask again next time you try to open a PDF, even if a default is set. With no default set it should give a list of all apps capable of handling an intent (i.e. I ask these questions because of the way Android handles "intents".

How do you open the PDFs? What other PDF-readers do you have installed? What happens if you install a new one (or uninstall and reinstall an old one)?
So that's what we need to work out, why your Kindle app is automatically opening PDFs without the default being set. So it's not that the (5 year old) solution above is incorrect, but that your problem seems to have a different pathology, and hence probably a different cause. * open a fourth pdf - it asks which app to use. * go to Settings > Apps, select Kindle, there are defaults set. * open a third pdf - it doesn't ask, just uses Kindle * open a pdf - it asks what app to use, I select Kindle Optionally you can go to kids place settings > advance settings and enable the “run in background” option to run kids place with stock Huawei launcher.So can you tell us a bit more about your device or setup? Because I just tested this, and for me it worked as expected: If you run into any issues, Kids Place will still work and block apps even when the home button is not locked. Select “Change” and it will change Kids Place as the default launcher and lock home button to Kids Place.ħ. Tap on “Default App” and then select “Kids Place”. Tap on “Apps and Notification” and on below screen, and you will get to screen below:ĥ.
If Kids Place blocks this action, first temporarily add settings app as approved app in Kids Place and then tap on the device settings app from kids place home screen.Ĥ. Then from stock launcher start device settings app. Tap on the home button (centre circle icon on bottom) to go to stock launcher. Tap on the “FIX THIS ISSUE” option and you will see the screen below:ģ. When you tap on “Lock Home Button” option during the initial set up process or enable the option from the parental control setting, you will see screen below:Ģ.Please follow steps below if you like to enable “Lock Home Button” option (replace launcher app) with Kids Place. Huawei firmware does not follow standard android behaviour when it comes to replacing the stock launcher app.
