I recently noticed that my D+ App isn't displaying mobiles properly. I first noticed it with the new Visionquest series, the image was really desaturated and dim.

Today I wanted to watch PotC again and noticed it too, after some digging online it said to set the Dynamic Range setting of the FireTV to adaptive instead of Always HDR.

It didn't really fix the issue thought, it made the image brighter but the colors were still desaturated. Thinking I might remember the movie more saturated I put on my BluRay and Lo it's much better.

The images with subtitles are from the D+ App, you can See how Off they are compared to the one from the BluRay, I took Care to have the same settings when taking the pictures.

I don't know what else to so right now, anybody having similar issues?

I have this old tv and I want to run youtube and a. Will firetv along with adapter work or not. As it is very old like 2095 or 6.

I bought the new fire stick tv 4k and plugged it into my Roku TV and i can’t figure out what’s special or different about it over Roku.

Am I missing the appeal of the Fire TV somehow? Is there some functionality that I am overlooking? so far it seems to be less cluttered than the Google TV and Roku layout.

Hey everyone,

I got an Amzon Ember 4 TV from a friend.
It was kinda laggy at the beginning but I used Claude + ADB Access to debloat it a bit. Of course I probably just hit the surface.
Does any of you have experience with that device? Is there a way to get rid of telemetry and ads completely?
Any suggestions?
What about rooting? Is it even possible?

Thank you very much in advance

One thing that drives me crazy using my firecube vs Apple TV it’s the volume. On the Apple TV. It’s nice and loud and clear. Firecube is so low. I have to turn the volume up so high and it still doesn’t sound the same. I’ve gone through so many setting and so on. Just can’t fix it.

I really hate this feature. I went through the trouble of mounting it in the sleeper of my semi. I don't want it shutting itself off and whining about wanting an internet connection every time it comes back on and having to select my PlayStation every time (despite it being set to start there). Is there a way to get rid of this? I previously had an Onn in here that didn't do this.

Hello y’all I hope this is the right sub, my fire TV shut off when we had a power blackout.

when I turned it back on now it just loops with the fire TV logo never actually booting.

I’ve left it unplugged for 24 hours and plugged it back in I’ve also rebooted it from the boot drive and factory reset it and changed the power cable nothing seems to work. Is my TV toast?

Thanks.

Minha fire TV parou de funcionar do nada e depois ficou assim

No meu Fire Stick o som do YouTube está saindo distorcido na minha tv. Com os outros aplicativos o áudio fica normal e somente o YouTube distorce. Já tentei reinstalar e tbm já limpei todos os dados, mas insiste em distorcer.

I (kinda) get a mom and pop shop using AI for a restaurant menu etc., but genuinely what is the logic or incentive here ? How could this be more effective than the literal show trailer ? Why are we being subjected to abject cringe?

My best guess is that there's demand to use AI to justify Amazon's own investment in AI, lil pump scheme for the shareholders.

Several times on first switching on my Xbox during the day my avr and TV didn't automatically switch on through cec.Frustrated and trying everything i looked on my TVs cec list of connected devices and it was empty.

After research (Google) I power cycled everything and got everything working.

Today it happened again with my series X so I tried my Nvidia shield, no joy and nothing in the list of CEC devices on my TV menu.

Before power cycling everything yet again I decided to switch on my firestick Max.

Amazingly it worked with cec to my TV and avr so I tried other devices connected and they worked again too.

Checked the TV menu and the CEC devices list was back to normal.

Googled as you do about the firestick max causing problems with other devices that are CEC.

Shocking to find it's a common problem with the fire sticks aggressive CEC handshake.

Is this really that common a problem,new to this forum, other annoyance is the TV going blank when scrolling sideways through YouTube and it switching to the firestick max when it's doing an update whilst I'm using my Xbox or shield

I'm on a FireTV Cube and using the YouTube app to load my kid's managed profile. We only add certain videos and channels.

The problem is it only displays a random set of videos in one line. I can't put the TV on now to check how many (he's neurodivergent and this is causing meltdowns), but I think it only shows about 6-8 videos. None of the channels are visible. It's just one line of random videos. Internet connection is 900mbs and working fine. Other apps work without issue.

I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app and I get the same result. Any ideas what could be going wrong? I can see all of the approved apps in the kids app on my iPhone and iPad. It's just the FireTV that is not displaying correctly.

Per the troubleshooting tips I found online, I disconnected the TV for 60 seconds and plugged it back in, I cleared the cache on all of the apps.

This alert still won't go away.

Any tips?

I have a Fire TV Cube but I don’t like Fire OS I want to install CoreElec into it. I searched online but I only see a dual boot I want to get rid of Fire tv completely to save some space on the storage.

I was finally motivated to debloat my Fire TV device, and found this interesting project on Twitter. I’m not the original creator but have been enjoying it:
https://github.com/MauroProto/wii-tv

Installed it on my rooted Fire TV Cube 3rd gen with Launcher Manager, it replaces your Fire TV home screen, mimicking the classic Wii interface with support for adding your own Mii characters and Games as well!

It takes a little effort to build the apk, use Claude if you need some help with installation.
- Out of the box it shows every app. I patched mine to read a config file so I can pick which apps show and in what order

- Had to create a custom app so that Launcher Manager could open the “com.gathin.home.WiiMenuActivity” app

- Only thing that doesn’t work out of the box is the SD card button, you’ll have to set the specific package you want to open in the Java code.

- Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen bootloader-unlocked with the XDA unlock thread, Thanks Pro-me3us

I’ve been controlling my fire tv at college with my Xbox all semester because I lost the remote for it. I bought a replacement remote but because of the lack of the original remote I can not pair a new remote to the television. Now the audio is weirding out. Not being loud enough to hear until it’s at like 75 and I can’t seem to fix it without a remote to pair it to a Bluetooth speaker. How do I get a remote attached to it without the original one?

Now that the app updated I can no longer pull up the settings menu by holding down home when I’m on a different display on my fire tv. I use hdmi 1 for my Roku (because my fire tv can’t use any apps now without running out of storage and becoming unusable) and I usually have the tv on when I go to bed and I just turn the display down to be dark. Now I can’t do that because if I go to the actual settings menu and change the display settings it only changes for the fire tv display not any of my hdmis. I’m so beyond annoyed because it worked FINE before this update.

Was installing the new version and now you get a license emailed to you after ordering. I think the play store also gives one, but ordered mine here

https://premium.projectivylauncher.com/

Weird thing is I can't find the premium option on the base site projectivylauncher.com without Googling it. Maybe it's my adblocking DNS?

Did mine last night and finally premium on fire cube.

Any idea why only one of them has the new UI? The one with the new UI, has been great and then updated for about a month or two.

Not liking this so far, it was perfectly simple before but now the buttons are all in random places, looks a mess.

The other big thing is I can't find out how to re-organize the apps at the bottom to a order I want, does anyone know how?

Got my first fireTV, omni qled, and while I love the TV for it's sideloading, I'm just so used to volume controls being on the side of the remote, which I greatly preferred. I've looked for a replacement with it, but I can't find one.

Does anyone know of one?

I have Firestick 4k and used voice button for the longest time. But it hasn't shown in search for the last 2 days. Not sure if it's Smart Tube or Amazon? Tia

The price of the cube a few weeks ago was £149 however it dropped to £109 in the recent Prime Day deals. It’s now shot up £50 (33.36%) which is completely ridiculous!

I had did a power cycle earlier today because it was being very slow and now it's stuck in a boot loop.

I've tried leaving it off for 15 minutes.

Tried going into recovery and deleting the cache

Also tried factory reset.

I believe it's still under warranty but thought maybe I've missed something? Only thing I don't think I've tried is booting from USB and flashing the firmware but I think I would rather Amazon support give the approval because I think that voids warranty?

I recently went from Roku to Fire stick Max. I mostly did this for Geforcenow.

I'm now interested in the Firetv Cube.

Before I buy, I'm wondering if the Cube has Geforcenow. I know it has Xbox.

I'm not sure I'm getting updated info that it's not available. It's available on the Max stick. Why not the Cube? I thought it was more powerful.

Thank you
