    I think I'm going to have to reset mine because it will take 2.15 GB of memory and then show critical low storage in 10 minutes. I have everyone stumped nobody can figure it out, maybe you've heard of this?

    Just one question how can you select OK once you get to the factory reset screen, My stick is frozen on the Profile screen and won't select everything. Firetv app won't connect John in UK

    • @CuriosityCafe
      @CuriosityCafe  Год назад

      If you did the factory reset, it will sync your remote before anything else. If it's frozen, then unplug it and plug it back in (power outlet). You shouldn't have a frozen stick.

    I haven’t used my firestick in a while and now when I plug it in it’s just stuck on the logo with the three loading dots going round and round. Any idea how I can fix this please? I tried resetting with the remote but it doesn’t do anything.

    • @CuriosityCafe
      @CuriosityCafe  Год назад +2

      Almost sounds like you are out of date on your updates. These devices can't be more than 3 updates behind. You only real option is to do the factory reset with the remote. You might want to check the remote batteries. Once replaced, during reboot, hold down the remote keys as shown in this video. Most mistakes are they don't hold long enough. Factory reset will fix this.

    I will try this... so frustrated with a music notification that keeps coming into my notifications that disrupts/stalls what I am watching. I have tried everything to make it stop. Perhaps a bug? I have all notifications turned off. Is anyone else experiencing this. It just started within the last few weeks.

      Why are you using an OTG adapter and SD card? Unplug all that and just use the firestick. See if it works fine. If it does, then we can look at expanding properly

      @CuriosityCafe it was what was recommended on another firestick channel back when I got it
      And I have unplugged them and tried firestick on its own several times ,,I have unplugged for 24 hrs aswell ,,, i also don't have a light on the remote so not sure if that's the problem that's its disconnected somehow

    • @CuriosityCafe
      @CuriosityCafe  10 месяцев назад

      Well the error you have on your tv is not a good one. How old is that firestick? I would upgrade to the 4k max and DON'T DO THAT SD CARD thing again. Could seriously damage your stick. Just get an external hard drive like we show on our videos.

    • @CuriosityCafe
      @CuriosityCafe  10 месяцев назад
