Many people will buy a case or cover for their Kindle Fire to prevent daily scratches and scrapes. Mostly, people will choose leather cases, which appear simple, stable and practical. However, these cases (especially for those inferior ones) heavily stop the device from heat dissipating, and the device gets overheated easily. A recommended way is to put the tablet into a case when carrying it around, but strip the case when using. In addition, the built-in magnet inside those cases contributes to many unexpected screen lock.

3. Turn off Wi-Fi if possible

Many free apps come with ads, which are annoying and occupies device resources potentially. Fortunately, there will be no ads displayed if the Kindle Fire is not Wi-Fi connected. Even though the app you are running has no ad by itself, the apps running in the background (including some system-level apps) normally relates to auto updates and notifications, which depends on Wi-Fi connection as well. Once there is no Wi-Fi connection, those underlying apps will have no way to slow down your device.

Since Kindle Fire sets the silk browser to desktop mode by default, users can manually set it to mobile mode, which has turned out to be very helpful (together with two other settings).

Launch the built-in browser on the Kindle Fire, tap the menu icon at the bottom of the screen, then select “Settings”.  Tap to turn off “Enable plug-ins”, uncheck “Accelerate page loading” and switch “Desktop or mobile view” to “Mobile: Optimize for mobile view”.
