    Question
    What cheap andriod 4k uhd tv would you recommend please thanks

  • @crazyedswonderfulworldofso9370

    I have two Firesticks on two TVs that will not update? I have moved and they are now hooked to a different Internet source. Could this be the problem? If so, how do I get my Firesticks to accept my new Internet connection to update. Otherwise the Firesticks are performing fine. They just will not update. Is there a setting on the F/S I may have turned off for updating? I am using an otg cable with an external drive for each F/S. Thx for any help you can provide.

    Since the recent updates my fire stick remote no longer works properly the Home and voice buttons no longer work. I've tried to up date but when you go to update and press select it also doesn't let you do that, I've seen some other people are also having the same problem but amazon are not being very helpful, can you help ?

  • @VT_RealBillP
    @VT_RealBillP Год назад +5

    Great Advice! I updated to a 2amp external plug and it cured my ills!!! I was using an otg cable with an external drive. The current draw was even too much for the stock amazon adapter here in the USA.
    I also switched back and forth between 2.4ghz and 5ghz sometimes. Wireless Interference can also mess up downloads!
    Thanks Again! Great to see you back!

    FireTV 2nd Generation (square metal box). It's not the power supply. I have 3 of these FireTV 2nd Generation and swapped out the power supplies. Even used my bench supply which has plenty of current but no luck. I tried adding a keyboard to the USB port and a keyboard with a few stokes on power up to force a Recovery but no luck. The reset using the remote did not
    work. Any other tips would be helpful. I have let it sit for days with Optimization screen and no luck.

    I did try all you have mentioned by myself and then repeated some of them with Amazon tech support. My unit was bricked and I was lucky that had some time left to claim the warranty, so they sent me what they claim it was a new stick (no remote or accesories), to me it is a refurbished unit for the way it was packaged up. Bottom line I had to send the faulty unit back and install all the apps again in the new one... I lost a couple of sideloaded apps than I can not find the apk any more 😫

    I never understood why it optimizes applications and storage after a factory reset only it makes no sense seeing as there's not much on it after a factory reset anyway if there was a button combination to do this when the process is actually needed the devices would probably run more snappy and run faster

  • @tomninos
    @tomninos Год назад

    I tried all of those things and nothing worked so I had to do the factory reset unfortunately. I tried to avoid it because I have apps that are still working on there that you can’t get any more like Cinema. I know they were supposed to be shut down but mine still works. I also had the old Codi Xanax which still worked for me as well. I lost both of them. I think what my issue was is that I had the ad blocking apps as well as the app that turns off updates so that Amazon wouldn’t load it back up with adware. The Prime Video app stopped working and told me I needed to update in order to Have it work again. I should’ve just went in and let some of the updates take place but I never got around to it. I think what happened was the version from my fire stick was so old that it finally wouldn’t allow it to work anymore and it just kept going in the restarting loop. In the end at least the factory reset worked and then I had to go through about six updates to get it working again.

    Is it time to replace it?

      Plug in all relevant connectors.
      keystroke sequences. cntrl, alt, i. Or, cntrl, alt, menu, print screen, i. Keep punching I
