Does anybody know if the fire cube tv 3rd gen can hdmi passthrough 7.1 I’m only able to play Dolby truehd, Dolby atmos, Dolby digital plus 5.1 but there is no 7.1?

Hi! I’m having difficulty kicking the YouTube app off my fire tv.

I have parental controls on in terms of content age and pin protecting on app downloads, but because YouTube was previously installed, it doesn’t present them with the pin request when they go to redownload it. I uninstalled the app, I deleted it from the app list, and I went into the Amazon account in a browser and deleted it from there. I powered the stick down and restarted it. Then the kids came home and reinstalled it.

I’ve tried to set up parental controls but the setup doesn’t work. I get to the screen to scan the QR code with my phone, I login successfully on my phone, but the tv doesn’t refresh like it’s supposed to at that point and I have no way forward.

I don’t want to turn on the config that makes us put in a pin on all video apps. I don’t care if they watch Netflix or Disney. I just want YouTube gone.

Hi, what version do the new Fire sticks ship with, does anyone know ?

if I bought one and blocked updates , would it prevent the ADB update that blocked custom launchers ?

Thanks

It’s 0653 - honestly? I just lucked out and can’t believe I guessed it while looking at a Universal remote guide.

Go forth and enjoy your volume control lads!!

i have 1 profile set up on my firetv stick but it keeps asking for me to enter my pin every day. parental controls are off in the settings yet it’s still asking for a pin. is there a way to disable this and go directly into the home screen?

Someone’s giving this away for free on Marketplace & if I can fix it, free tv

My 34 inch insignia fire tv refuses to run Paramount+ no matter how many times I download update or reinstall the app or reset the device. The app starts loading then tv returns to Home Screen. Anyone experience the same?

Can’t use FireTV. This message pops up. Turned it on and off a ton and unplugged it. Weird thing is when I click the Netflix button, it goes to Netflix and works?

I bought a RIOWOIS soundbar on Amazon. Sounds great and works great. Connected it to the Amazon Fire TV 2 series via optical cable. Added the bar using the manufacturer's code. Fire stick remote now works to control volume so no need for 2 remotes.

That is until you press any of the 4 shortcut buttons on the bottom. Prime, Netflix, DirectTV, or Peacock. Anytime you press one of those the soundbar goes to that app but also changes the input mode on the soundbar from optical to AUX, so the soundbar light turns from purple (optical) to green (aux). Now you have to get the soundbar remote and press the optical input button to get sound back.

Any ideas? This is ultra annoying because this is for my elderly mother, and having to use one remote is difficult enough let alone 2.

I've been using the Ethernet adapter that came with my fire tv cube on my fire tv stick 4k max for about a year now. Just today after a software update, the ui says that there's no internet and won't let me do anything when using ethernet only. The Ethernet doesn't even show up in the network section of settings. What's weird is the lights on the switch it's plugged into light up and blink as if they are passing traffic fine. I moved the Ethernet adapter back to the fire tv cube and it works fine there.

Are other people experiencing the same thing? Is this a known bug? Is it going to be fixed? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

So basically title, I bought a firestick 4k max last week I let it do all the updates, it works great but I would like to customize the home page because of the ads.

So I started looking around and I saw that you were able to debloat it with ADB (recently blocked by Amazon apparently) or use a custom launcher like nova or wolf.

Is this still possible? I see tutorials and stuff about Fire OS 7 and under but no OS 8. Is it not supported anymore? What the best thing you can do rn to clean the UI a bit?

We currently use Xfinity cable and internet. I’m considering dropping xfinity cable and switching to streaming services since that’s pretty all we use anyway. Has anyone dropped xfinity cable (we’d still keep the internet service) and switched to streaming on a firestick? Is it worth it? Any recommendations on which stick to purchase? Also, they’re currently listed as a “limited time deal”. Should I purchase now or will they be discounted even more for Black Friday?

Is there a voice command that can goto an absolute timestamp of the currently playing video?

For example: "Alexa, go to minute 35:00?" And it'd jump straight to minute 35

Hello, sorry for the long post. I’ve been experiencing issues with my tv for months and it has been unusable for months by now. I had to factory reset it after it was acting weird, and I couldn’t get any remote to connect to it. I tried many different types, nothing could get me past the language selection and no remote made the sign it connected to the tv. There was one remote that I managed to get past the language selection, but then my TV just wouldn’t recognize that remote, or any remote, so then I was just stuck again. I’ve tried the fire tv app, but it doesn’t even recognize my tv as on, I guess. I can’t select it when I’m on the app. Today I just tried for the fun of it to try and fix it, and a remote I thought was broken made the sign it connected to the tv. It can turn the tv on and off, but it for some reason still cannot get me past the language selection. Some people have said to do something with a computer and the tv, but I don’t have the cords or anything like that to do that and I don’t even know what I would need to get, or if it would even be worth it, even tho the TV is only 1-2 years old if barely. So if anyone has had this happen before and knows what to do, any advice, suggestions are all welcome. Or if you think I just need to trash the tv and get a new one, I’ve been thinking of that too since it seems like it’s an internal sensor issue, and not a remote issue.

I'm considering buying a Firestick Lite 8GB (https://www.amazon.com.br/dp/B091G767YB) and would like to know if it still shows advertising banners. If so, are there any ways to remove them?

Hey, sorry I am experimenting 'again' so I've just ordered online a 2nd hand firecube 2, so I will assume that it will have the most current firmware avaliable.

Is it possible to set the custom launcher to directly boot into it?

Much as my FC3 does now, amazon home screen is not existent at all, and would like that to stay.

I’m hoping someone might have some advice. Our internet is working fine. Every other device works great but our fire tv will get that dreaded yellow line off and on for a few days then it will work fine for a week. Then it stops working. We replaced our old one thinking it was the cube but this brand new one is doing the same thing. We’ve gone through all the troubleshooting Amazon suggests… if I unplug and plug back in again I’ll go crazy. Replaced the HDMI cord with a brand new one. I am at a loss and about to return it and replace with a Roku as our return window is closing in. Any suggestions before I give up :\

With my old Cube Gen 2, I was able to program buttons 1 & 2 on Remote Pro without a problem. Gen 2 died and I replaced it with a Firestick 4K Max. All buttons on the remote work fine with the 4K except the programmable buttons 1 & 2. Going through the programming process seems to work and I get the message that the shortcut has been set. But pressing the buttons does nothing. Tried programming them through the Settings function but same issue. Does the 4K Max not respond to the programmable buttons or is it something I’m doing wrong?

Bought a Toshiba Amazon Smart TV off of Facebook marketplace place and it was working fine until i factory reset it. Now the remote won’t pair, I can’t even set up the TV :( does anyone have any advice?

i continue to get a critically low storage message even tho i have two gigs available someone pls help

I recently bought a Hisense TV from Costco with FireTV. I watch a lot of YouTube videos at 2x speed. For most videos, the video freezes while the audio continues. I can somewhat prevent this by reducing the resolution to 480p but is the FireTV OS and this tv that underpowered? It's not an internet speed thing. I realize it is not the highest end tv but I had no problem with my previous Roku TV that was at the same price point (and died within a year and a half). Thanks.

I’m looking into the firecube because I like the idea of using one remote for all my devices like my TVIP box, game console and possibly more - maybe I could connect an appleTV box to it as well?

What does the Firecube connect with through its HDMI input? Explain like I’m five

I turned it off this evening, returned four hours later and it wont turn on. The red light is on then it goes off. no click noise like it usually makes when power button on tv or remote is pushed. Ive tried unplugging it, the holding down the power button, just NOTHING. Wtf? Ive only had this stupid thing for like a year. It was fine, now its broken with nothing even happening to it?

I sold my 2nd generation Fire Cube. I was thinking of switching back to Android TV or Google TV, but the options I've found don't meet my expectations. For example, the Google Chromecast with Google TV lacks connectivity options, and the Nvidia Shield Pro has a shortage of updates. I'm considering buying the 3rd generation Fire Cube. Is it worth it despite only having a USB 2.0 port, 100M LAN, and 2GB of RAM? I'm looking for a powerful device optimized for streaming and watching my downloaded movies with lossless audio and excellent image upscaling for SD or 1080p content.

I want to be able to turn on the TV and not wait for the firestick to boot.

I have a JVC fire TV running fire os 7.6.6.6 and I was wondering if it's possible to install a 3rd party launcher on my TV as I getting fed up with all the ads and the sluggish fire TV launcher

Okay, so my girlfriend and I purchased a cheap insignia fire TV from Best Buy, and it’s been a nightmare trying to download anything. I can access the App Store and enter the download screen, but as soon as I try to download anything, it takes me back to the main App Store menu. I also can’t sign into my Amazon account on the TV. Same issue. It takes me back to whatever screen I was last on. There are no extra messages, no flashing lights, no beepers, no buzzers, nothing. Just

I have been able to download Hulu and HBO Max, but I seriously just got lucky. Anyone else have this happen? And if so, how did you fix it?

So, like my first month to having the TV, I was able to go on my phone head to Apple Music and click a button to airplay the music to my TV. Now whenever i try, it doesn't work at all; it gives me an error and i have no clue why someone should help please

I’m signed into my brand account which I always use but for some reason I’m only seeing home & search tabs on the left side, all other tabs have disappeared this afternoon, I use YouTube to watch videos from everyone I sub to, anyone else experiencing this issue, I’ve uninstalled, cleared data/cache, suggestions, all the options are there when I sign into the main account but I don’t use it to watch YouTube as everything I’m subbed to and stuff is on my brand account!
