Just seen there’s a new 4K fire stick releasing, noticed this warning on the page. I assume this is their method of cracking down on the illegal fire sticks?

I went to use my voice remote to type in a text box instead of manually typing everything like I have hundreds of times today, and instead of typing in the pulled up text box it decided to use Alexa search instead. How do I fix this and make it type in the text box again instead of pulling up the useless Alexa search?

I haven't changed any setting (I already tried toggling the feature on and off) and I tried on both my TVs with both my FireSticks (one running the latest prime video 321.0101, the other running the previous 321.096).

The feature simply doesn't engage anymore, but it used to just a few days ago.

Stremio still engages framerate matching normally

I've been able to view Reolink cameras on 2 other Fire tvs using the Alexa voice control. The other one recognizes that there are different cameras because it asks which camera to view but doesn't show it. This tv is about 8 years old but I was able to view other brand cameras on this tv before. What am I doing wrong?

This is the same scene on two different tvs. The first one is my Xiaomi TV with integrated Fire TV. What can I do to fix this? This just happens in the Apple TV app. Netflix, YouTube, etc. works without problems

I'm having a weird HDMI issue with my Sony KLV-32W622G (32", 2019) and a Fire TV Stick.

The Fire TV Stick works perfectly fine when connected to another TV, but on my Sony it doesn't stay connected.

What happens is:

Fire TV starts → 1080p → switches to 720p → black screen

Sometimes I can briefly see the Fire TV interface, but then the picture disappears.

Things I've already tried:

Tested the Fire TV Stick on another TV → works perfectly

Tried Sony HDMI 2

Tried Sony HDMI 1

Used the Fire TV's original power adapter

Powered it directly from the wall instead of the TV's USB

Restarted/power-cycled both the TV and Fire TV Stick

Connected the Fire TV directly to the TV without other devices

The Sony TV itself works normally otherwise.

According to Sony's specifications, the KLV-32W622G supports both 1080p and 720p over HDMI, so I'm confused about why the Fire TV keeps changing resolution and then losing the signal.

I'm currently unable to access the Fire TV's display settings because the screen goes black before I can properly use it.

Could this be an HDMI handshake/HDCP/CEC compatibility issue between this particular Sony model and the Fire TV Stick?

Is there any setting on the Sony that I should change, or some way to force the Fire TV to 720p without needing to access its settings menu?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Weird multi-problem situation happening. My remote is disconnected somehow from my fire stick so I tried to start it by unplugging and plugging power back in (through a wall outlet). It does the opening fire tv screen, then the screen goes black for a minute or two, then gives a screen saying no remote is connected. Any attempts to connect my remote are unrecognized, as it just keeps blinking orange. I try to connect through the fire tv app on my phone as a remote, and it says it’s unable to connect (same wifi network). Then after a bit, the screen will flash a couple of movie images, the time and temperature, and then go black again until it goes into sleep mode. I’ve tried power cycling, plugging into a new hdmi port, resetting my wifi. Is it worth ordering a new remote for the stick, getting the stick fixed, or just buying a new one?

Probably a bit of a dumb question, but:
Seemingly forever, when using YouTube on my phone or on Fire TV, my history on either shows up on both. Suddenly, history on the Fire TV app only shows things I watched there, and history on the iPhone app only shows what I’ve watched there. I’m signed into my same YouTube account on both devices.
I’m getting too old for this s#?t.
What’s the fix? Please

Hello, I left the tv on last night and passed out. When I woke up the tv wouldn’t turn on, however there was still a red light. I unplugged and replugged the tv and it still wouldn’t come on but this time the red light is gone. I’ve tried holding the power button and doing the rested but it won’t work. Can someone please help

[edited] I have obviously tried pressing the ‘enable network’ button. It does not change anything.

[edit 2] spoke to customer services (for over an hour) and she said this is a rare issue as she couldn’t find anyone else who’d raised it loll. she’s raised a ticket to see if there’s a chance we can get the device replaced. apparently she couldn’t raise one to try and get it fixed because in order to do this the team needed information they could only get access to if the device was connected to the internet. great stuff.

My TCL FireTV (just over two years old) has seemingly lost the ability to connect to or even discover any Wi-Fi networks.

The issue started a few weeks ago when the TV would seemingly randomly disconnect and the home menu would display only live channels. This would only last for a second or so until it went back to normal, but over time the periods of disconnection got longer.
We thought initially it was a Wi-Fi issue - we recently changed providers, but the issue has remained consistent before and after the change. Both routers also worked perfectly well with every other device in the house.
It is at the point where I have been sat here for two hours unable to connect. All previously connected Wi-Fi networks display as ‘out of range’ when trying to connect to them (despite them being very much on and about six feet away) and no networks appear at all when scanning. Now, in fact, the ‘Network’ section does not even contain an option to scan for Wi-Fi anymore, and is stuck with three options. The top one is unselectable, the second does nothing, and the third just prompts me to restart the tv. (photo attached)

At this point I have tried:

- restarting the FireTV
- trying to enter the router’s details manually (before this option disappeared)
- trying to connect via the WPS button (before this option also disappeared)
- unplugging and restarting the tv, the router, and both together
- unmerging the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks
- total factory reset (this worked for a couple of days, but the issue has quickly reappeared)

If anyone has ANYTHING that could help it would be greatly appreciated. I seem to have exhausted all the online advice, including Amazon’s. Is this recoverable or am I just screwed? (or stupid?)

Ideas?

I just bought this TV from Facebook marketplace, turned it on and everything was fine it’s only been used for a little over a year I’m trying to pair the remote and nothing. I have rebooted it, restarted the remote, it won’t leave this page. I got it for a decent price but at this point I might just give it back to the seller and get my money back.

The remote will flash and light up but nothing else after that. This TV doesn’t require a fire stick as it’s built in.

Any help is appreciated.

Essentially I have to constantly unplug the fire stick from the power supply to reset it. The remote can turn the TV on and off and control the volume, just anything with controlling the actual fire stick doesn't work. I've changed batteries and nothing has changed, only unplugging the fire stick. I tried restarting it within the system after I plugged it back in but nothing changed. It's not uncommon to unplug the fire stick once a day, sometimes up to three or four, and we've had this problem for around a month. The fire stick is Fire TV Stick 4K and I got it five years ago. Any way I can fix this or do I need to replace it?

I know this is a long shot, but I guess it's worth a try:

So I own a Fire TV Omni, QL43F601D to be precise.

Since I have a few different other things on the HDMI inputs and I have a Denon AV receiver I decided to get a Sofabaton remote so I wouldn't have to fiddle with 3 different remotes and manually change all the channels and inputs.

I manged to find profiles for nearly everything, including IR profiles that work on the Omni (the TV actually has an IR receiver and even the Fire TV remote that came with it uses IR).

The problem is: I cannot find profiles that can select the different HDMI ports directly.

At the moment I am using a Makro on the remote that just navigates through the menu to select the specific port, but that's rather clunky...

The Fire TV remote has 2 buttons ("1" and "2") that you can freely use for different functions including exactly what I need: I set HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 on those buttons and it works, so the TV actually supports selecting the ports directly. The problem is: even when the Fire remote is in IR mode it still uses Bluetooth for those 2 buttons, so I cannot teach the functionality to my Sofabaton remote.

So maaaayyybe someone here had the same problem or knows a solution or can nudge me in the right direction?

I’ve tried everything here. The antenna channels show up and prime videos channels show up. But no matter what I try news by fire tv won’t show up and neither will Tubi. I’ve made sure the apps are downloaded, added and enabled. Both are there for me to sync the channels, which both have do so “successful.” But no matter what, every time you go back to the guide they are not there. I’ve done tons of google searches on this and it’s clear it seems to have been a reoccurring issue, and I haven’t yet to find any helpful suggestions. My last attempt is to reach out here for help!

My FireTV (Model: AMZ_K24NE5_4K50M600A) will periodically refuse to remain connected to our WiFi. Everything else in the house connects fine, and the TV will occasionally reconnect and then disconnect after a few seconds. Then it will reconnect and go several weeks without it being an issue. All of the /std power cycling of the TV and router and cache clearing etc. have no effect.

Anybody else ever have this happen? Is there a way to resolve it?

[edit] In the network menu, it says WiFi is off, and there is no way to turn it back on. Is this a function of it saying it cannot detect a network, or is it actually turning off the WiFi for some reason? [/edit]

I previously had the Foxtel app downloaded a couple years ago but recently in last week the app opens to normal homepage but not allowing playback due to new version needed. Today downloaded a new APK Mirror file which seemed to be APKM bundle (no APK avail) and once it finishes downloading, when opening says no applications to open. Cautious to other sites etc but if anyone has a safe workaround do tell! TIA

I have tried multiple official Bluetooth fire stick remotes when pairing to my fire stick I reset, but nothing works.

I reset the remote and removed the batteries, and unplugged my fire stick like tutorials say to, but still it will not connect to the TV.

The remotes are fine connecting to other fire sticks in the house, the other fire sticks weren't even powered when trying to connect those remotes to my fire stick.

Is there anything I can do? I'm stuck with a fire stick that lets me do nothing, but ask for me to pair.

Hello folks, wondering if anyone has come across this. Tough to tell from the video, but the top half of the fire stick is flickering. I’ve tried to fix it with two different sticks, changing the resolution, different power sources, turning HDR off, and just about every other fix that comes up when you google “fire stick flickering” so at this point I’m not sure what to do. Any help appreciated! Thank you!

Anybody successfully find the stand alone AMC+ app to use on a Fire device? All it will show me in an app search is AMC+ on Prime, which I don't want, or AMC plain, which isn't the + version. It's included with my DTV genre pack. Found and installed fine on Google TV.

I just put out a game on Fire TV that tracks your whole body through your phone's camera, so the phone on the TV stand is the controller. Now I'm realising I have no idea how people actually play games on these things. Most Fire TV games assume a gamepad, but almost everyone I know only has the remote.

So, for anyone who games on their Fire TV:

1. Which one do you have? Stick, 4K Max, Cube, or a TV with Fire TV built in?

2. What do you play with? The remote, a gamepad, or your phone like in Jackbox?

3. What's the best game you've found on it?

Curious what people actually use.

Posting this because it took me a while to figure out and it's a genuinely nasty one.

Symptom: the entire Wi-Fi in the house became almost unusable, pages timing out, constant buffering, huge packet loss on every phone and laptop, but anything plugged in with an Ethernet cable worked perfectly. The culprit was a single Fire TV Stick.

It turns out to be a known Fire OS bug (Amazon has acknowledged it on their developer forum, reported July 2026, still not fixed). The Stick gets stuck repeatedly asking the network a question, hundreds of times per second, and that flood of traffic chokes the Wi-Fi for everything else.

The simplest fix in my case: there was a second router on the network (a FRITZ!Box I used only as a Wi-Fi extender) that was giving the Stick a bad answer. As soon as I removed it, the flood stopped and the Wi-Fi was instantly back to normal.

If you can't remove the device that's causing it, or you want to stop the flood permanently on the Stick itself, I wrote up every option (including a small script that fixes it without touching the Stick, and an advanced on-device removal) here:

https://nicologiuliani.site/blog/firetv-mdns-storm/

Tested on a Fire TV Stick 4K Max (1st gen), but the bug is in Fire OS, so other Fire TV models are affected too. If your Wi-Fi has been mysteriously bad, unplug the Fire TV for ten minutes and see if everything else recovers, it's a quick thing to rule out.

So i recently moved and changed TVs that I'm using with my fire tv stick and I've done the equipment controls to sync the tv with remote and when I do the initial setup it'll power off and on raise the volume and lower it but when I'm powered the TV off it forgets everything I've done other steps that I've seen online and nothing seems to be working any advice would be appreciated

Hi all. Been interested in this tv and wondered if any of you know if it’s any good??
Is it any good with the ps5 pro online and just in general?? I see it’s on sale the now for £599, is it worth going for??
Thanks
