I have my Tubi account (on my Amazing Fire television) set on timer for the Super Bowl..

For it to activate when the time comes, do I :.

1. Have the ability to have my TV switched off leading up to the event, and the TV will automatically switch on when the time comes?

.

2. Need to make sure my TV is switched on, on any channel, leading up to the event, and it will make itself go to Tubi when the time comes?

.

3. Both need to have the TV on, AND need to have the Tubi app open, leading up to the event, so that Tubi will show the event when the time comes.

.

In other words, I am not sure just exactly how much needs to be done in preparation, leading up to it, for things to load when the time comes.. As I said, I have it on timer. Suppose I am gone from the house all day until 7:00 PM. When I walk in, would the game be on there on Tubi, having activated on its own?

My YouTube app will play a video with just audio, no video. Any suggestions? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

New Insignia FireTV set-up, plugged in and turned on. Screen stays black (and dark) after turning on Power and chimes at about 5 second intervals. I've unplugged and plugged it back in, and tried a second power source. Any ideas?

Bought this tv about 2 months ago and the input lag is almost unbearable, especially on YouTube tv. Will hit a button to navigate the menu or change volume and sometimes will take 1-2 seconds for tv to acknowledge. Sometimes can take minute just to navigate through YouTube tv menu. Any ideas or fixes? Our 32” fire tv doesn’t have this issue, nor do any other of my non fire tv’s that use fire sticks.

Not an internet issue either, getting 371 up and and 284 down on fios 1g. Definitely a tv specific issue.

Is there any way to reinstall Downloader on my Firestick after I uninstalled it? When I go to the app store, it says not found. Is there a way to add it again?

Thanks

Apps disappeared from the my apps section on fire stick 4k max. However they are still there under the manage applications list.

itvX, 4, My5 and a few others but as I said they are still on the stick? Any insight? Thanks

Hello, recently my fire TV app updated to latest version and there are some changes in app look but problem is I'm using adguard vpn for ad block and now suddenly fire tv app can't find my firestick as long as I'm connected to vpn.

Before this update everything worked normally.

Now every time I open fire tv app I have to manually turn off adguard vpn in order to make fire tv app work properly.

If nothing, is there any way to get back old version of fire tv app?

I have 2 2nd Generation Firetv boxes i bought years ago on Amazon. Both are still in great condition. I lost 1 remote to the other box, and was hoping I could pair that box with the remaining remote. Unfortunately, that's not working for some odd reason. I've been working on this off and on for 2 weeks. I don't want to use the Firetv app using my phone as a remote. I nearly made a move to purchase the OEM 2nd generation remote on Ebay, but had a feeling it might not work either. Any suggestions? The only thing i haven't done yet was doing a factory reset. I read some things in old threads that's something you don't want to do because it no longer get updates. Below is think link to the remote on Ebay I was tempting to get, but figured I'd ask here first.

I am trying to install stan entertainment onto my firetv. The firetv doesnt understand xapk files. I tried renaming as a zip and there are 20 files mostly language files but there is a en file and one for the architecture and just the stan apk file. I am unsure which to copy or run.

TIA

My dog keeps eating my remotes. I’m on my 3rd! firetv remote. Is there any hard cases out there for these remotes?

About two years ago my fire tv remote kept draining the battery after less than 24 hours of putting new batteries in so I started using the fire tv remote app. I guess the app updated on my phone 2 days ago and I’m having major connection issues. My app cannot find my fire stick at all now. I was having trouble connecting it, but eventually got it yesterday, and now it won’t connect at all. I’ve unplugged and re-plugged in my TV, and fire stick multiple times and nothing has happened. What do I do?

One of our older Fire Sticks stopped working a while back, the 2, forever stuck on the Amazon logo no matter what hacks I try. We have other sticks on that TV, a Roku and AirTV, and they're ok, but eventually I'd like to have a Fire Stick on it, and am thinking of getting the 4K Max, because why not. Plus it has decent games and I have teen nephews who visit and they like to play video games, but I'm not splurging for a Playstation.

The best price I've seen it at is $35 after this or that discount. They change which ones from day to day but it always ends up $35. Is this basically the lowest it's ever been? I also get a $3 trade-in on the bad Stick 2. It's not that I'm cheap, just that I don't really NEED it right now, but will probably get it eventually, and am willing to wait if it's ever even lower.

Hi,

Set up my tv stick yesterday morning, and by the afternoon noticed that there was a new profile that I’ve never seen before, so I went to my Amazon account and checked devices but there was no unknown device, 2 factors authentication is also on but I received no code either which made it even weirder.

I deleted the profile and changed my password, but today I noticed that that profile was back but with a slightly different name, like a letter was missing, even though I still received no code.

What is causing this? Thank you.

What a POS that thing is I know it was only 38 bucks but still…

I got a new tv that uses google tv, but since I’ve got a fire stick in one room and a fire tv in another I wanted to stay with fire; I hook the thing up, set all my prefs and passcodes for my apps (hassle) all works well until I try to watch prime. Got that bug to open the app then it doesn’t open so I do a search to trouble shoot, it’s a common problem.

Mucked about with that for an hour then decided to just reset the fire stick which of course means having to redo all the apps and passwords absolute hassle. And prime still won’t open but I get a message that says it needs to be updated so I go into the installed apps list and prime is not even there. So Amazon sells a device that won’t even load their own video app. I stuck the thing in a drawer and used the google tv stuff built into the set.

That is all have a great day!

For some reason when I open Hulu and start watching something, Hulu crashes after a few minutes. Sometimes it just crashes and goes back to the home screen but most of the time it crashes and opens Netflix. What gives? This has been happening with increasing frequency and it’s driving me NUTS. It’s not always a few minutes but it happens every single time I’ve used Hulu in the last few weeks.

I tried force quitting both apps and clearing all the cache data for all my apps. It’s almost like it started happening more frequently after I did that. Any other ideas?

Finally bought a TCL Roku TV 43" with 4k uhd and 4 HDMI ports and proud to say I will never use the fire brand ever again to anybody thinking of buying them they are pieces of shit

Anyone else app not working at all after the update? Mine will no longer connect to my Firestick. It worked perfectly fine and now it won’t connect.

Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I just got a new fire TV on black friday and I signed into YouTube with my account. All was working well but then I was trying to sync my phone to my TV while signed into YouTube, and it made the videos extremely laggy and unwatchable. I signed back out, tried using YouTube as a guest, and it was still lagging horribly. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and even tried using the app without being signed in after the re-install, and it is STILL just permanently glitching. The videos simply cannot play without stuttering and I’m wondering if anyone knows how to fix this. Its is extremely frustrating.

I don’t know what language this is but my screen has been stuck on this and it just flashes a different language every time. From what I’ve gathered I need to push and hold down the home button for 10 minutes but that isn’t working. I have changed the battery as well. Does anyone know what to do about this?

Happens mostly when watching some Donut Operator clips. I'll get that warning about sensitive content, click yes, and the clip will play in a much smaller window towards the left of my TV screen.

All the controls during the video and in the main YouTube menu are OK, but any video afterwards also plays in that same smaller area. The only way to fix it is to reboot the FireStick.

It happens(ed) with different versions of FireStick and different TV sets. I just keep forgetting to ask here until now.

I know planned obsolescence is common thing in technology but how on earth is Amazon getting away with this??

There is absolutely no reason for a fire stick to slow down after a year or two. The apps don't update themselves enough to justify it.

Is Amazon just trying to shaft us and extort an extra £40/$?? out of us each year on top of prime?? If this is the case surely there's grounds for a class-action lawsuit because I see no actual reason why the device I've payed for should suddenly grind to a halt.

Ok I’ve scoured this sub and while there are plenty of threads about boot loops and fixes, my particular problem now I haven’t come across, hence this new thread.

Ok so fireTV (not fire stick) is stuck in boop loop. Found out how to induce recovery mode/safe mode whatever where I unplug the TV, and hold the on button while I plug it in. It then enters recovery mode which a bunch of text on the screen.

There are options to reboot, clear cache, factory reset etc, and herein lies the problem. All info points to, and it even says right there on the screen that you short press the button to cycle through the options and long press to select.

It won’t do that. It won’t cycle the options with a short press. The button itself clearly works evidenced by my ability to use it to enter recovery mode in the first place, and if I long press it, it DOES follow through with the option selected, which is just a plain system reboot. After this reboot it goes back into boot loop.

So the tantalizing option of factory reset is right there dangling in front of my face but I just can’t get to it. Frustrating as hell. Can’t used the remote to select anything either.

Please help 😑

UPDATE: was able to get the remote to work to change options. Cleaned cache, and factory reset….aaaand still stuck in boot loop.

Bought in 2021. Suddenly, it won't boot. Splash screen comes on, and the very end of the splash screen 'music' is cut off, and the screen goes black.

Tried different HDMI cables, and a different port. Power supply is original.

I tried to reset by holding the action button, but no change.

Any ideas?
