I figured out why after buying multiple different remotes, I could not get any to pair, and I wanted to share my solution which is not your typical issue!

Purchased a Toshiba 32V35KU FireTV off Facebook Marketplace, was told Remote hasn't been working right recently but can use the app. Got it home, remote had dead batteries, replaced and it worked. Went to setup/enable WiFi but it would not turn on. Remote would double click on select but I found if I press it then pull the batteries quickly, it will single press. Could not get WiFi turned on, thought possibly it is a setting issue, performed a factory reset to remove previous owners amazon info and settings. Come to find out, the remote will not pair to the TV. Purchased multiple different remotes from Best Buy and Amazon, did a ton of research trying to find any info on this TV aswell as what remote is compatible with what, not much info is out there or was helpful.

I was about ready to just toss it off my balcony and buy another, then I thought back to the WiFi issue.. Maybe a bad WiFi/BT module?

Opened up the back cover, searched up the part number and found it online for about $20. Upon looking further into the board and everything, I found a pin that was not seated all the way in. It's the purple wire from the main board to the WiFi/BT module, the far left in the picture(pic was after I fixed it). Made sure it was seated all the way and reconnected it, plugged the TV in, turned it on, every remote I bought instantly paired no problem!

Quality Control at its finest, never will I buy a Toshiba product again. I hope this eventually helps someone out there.

Basically the title. I purchased my wife the Alexa Voice Remote Pro for Christmas, because the or my son like to set it down in spots and forget where it is. She was able to get the remote to pair to the firestick, but not the television.

I went through the prompts and get an error that the remote cannot complete set-up.

The remote that came with the firestick was able and still does control the tv.

My New FireTV shows 10:00 AM on the guide but a correct 8:45 on the time. Time zone and time are correct. If I can, I'll attach a photo.

Cannot get Alexa all to recognize Netflix

I have a fire TV, Amazon sound bar and 2 echo dots. I want Netflix to play through all 3. Yes, I have home theater set up and it works beautifully for Amazon music and audible.

I’ve tried all the online help. Such as

Check Netflix Skill in Alexa App: Open the Alexa app. Go to "Skills & Games". Search for "Netflix" and make sure it's enabled. If not, enable it and follow the on-screen instructions to link your Netflix account.

When I search no Netflix comes up.

Check if your new device is in need of a software update by going to "Settings", then "Device Options" and then "Check for Software Updates". Restart your device by unplugging it from the power source briefly. Once it has booted back up, swipe down from the home screen and select "Video". In the "Video" tab, select the "Netflix" icon. Select "Member Sign in". If you are not yet a member, set up your membership. Enter your Netflix email address and password. Select Continue.

There is no Netflix under video.

It will only play through the soundbar. It will also not show up,as playing when it’s on in the Alexa app. It just displays the last music or audiobook I was playing (also can’t get this to go away)

Please help!

Thank you!

I am reaching out for news on a new model Fire Cube. I hope a new one is coming soon with better feature sets.

I like the Cube far more than the stick.

Hi everyone,
I have a setup where a CoreELEC box is connected to my Fire TV Cube (3rd generation) via the HDMI input. My goal is to play TrueHD Atmos (7.1) files from coreelec , but every time I test a video with this format, I don’t get any sound, but just a strange noise instead.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Enabled audio passthrough in Kodi (on CoreELEC).
• Checked the audio settings on the Fire TV Cube (Dolby Digital Plus, PCM, etc.).
• Tested various MKV files with TrueHD Atmos 7.1.
• When I connect the CoreELEC box directly to my soundbar (which supports Dolby Atmos), the sound works correctly.

Has anyone managed to get this setup working? or Are there any specific limitations with the Fire TV Cube when it comes to TrueHD Atmos passthrough via HDMI input ?

On the Amazon Fire TV, if I am watching an internet channel, when a commercial break comes on, the volume goes up. Then when the commercial break is over, the volumes goes back down to where it was before.

Is there a way to make it so that the commercials are not loud, so that we don't have to keep adjusting the volume?

Hi just figured out this was an option. I am up to date on the software. Everytime I ask Alexa to generate an image she says “sorry this feature is not avaible”. I have the first stick 4k max. There is also a widget that is supposed to surprise you with an AI image but it won’t create an image.

Hello All

I have a Firestick with sideloaded app for about a year now which stopped working. This particular app doesn't seem to connect to the internet though other apps connect just fine. Previously, in Feb, I had a similar issue which was resolved with a VPN, connecting to Nordic countries.
Today I tested the stick in someone else's home and it works fine.
My home internet is Verizon home 5G.

Any suggestions? TIAFYH

So I got my Amazon Fire 43" Omni QLED TV today. It didn’t look damaged or anything, but as soon as I set it up and turned it on, I saw that the Fire logo was blurry and so was every subsequent image. The colours were bright but everything looked either blurry or smudged. I tried running some stuff on Prime, Netflix, Disney Plus, and YouTube, and it all looked way inferior to my Samsung 1080p TV. I also hooked up my 4K Apple TV box to it and everything looked just as bad. Decided not to risk it and am returning my new TV to Amazon. Is this normal at all for Fire TVs or did I just get a lemon? Should I try again and order another of the same model?

My husband and I are thinking about ditching directtv and just getting a firestick. It seems to be cheaper in the long run.

My husbands only concern is not getting local news. Google says we can still get them but we are gun shy about switching.

What are the pros and cons of switching to firestick?

To summarize, I've essentially skinned my firestick to just the board, I'm trying to embed it into a portable tv project I'm working on, does anybody know the pins to short to turn it on without a remote, thanks!

I am running a fire stick through my fire TV since the TV restarts every five minutes if not and usually I switch the HDMI through the power button but since it starts the ads at the top instantly it always starts the jolly junction add and it is so much louder than anything else on the TV, I wish Amazon would review this so they could fix it but I know they don't, does anybody else find this so annoying

Need Help / Advice before I send my new 75" 2024 Omni Mini-LED TV Back. Cannot Get 4K 144hz working after numerous steps.

I saw other complaints about this exact model and the same exact issue I am having with not being able to get 4K 144hz, but ignored them as I figured they just didn't have the knowledge and or right cable to get 4K 144hz working. I ignored the complaints because I have the knowledge and the right cables / high-end gaming PC.

Fantastic picture ... but, if I am going to spend $1,600+ dollars on a modern TV with modern features, 4K 144hz has to be a part of the feature set.

Guess what? I can't get it to work. At all. I am literally shocked and dumbfounded.

I have a 4K 144hz rated HDMI cable, several in fact. I have a video card that supports 4K 144hz, but cannot get this to work. I tried both HDMI 1 port which is eARC HDMI 2.1 and HDMI port 2, which is HDMI 2.1 as well.

I've reinstalled the video drivers, I've reset the Fire TV, I've rebooted my $4,000 high-end gaming PC, I've cycled the TV, I've turned the TV off / on. I've changed out the HDMI cable, I've done all of these steps at least 2 or 3 times. To no effect.

I'll send this TV back in a heart beat if this is the case.

I have a 42" LG OLED C2 TV and it has zero issues with 4K at 120hz.

Does anyone have advanced knowledge / expertise in the area to assist me?

There is no reason why this shouldn't work.

Hi my firesticks aren't showing on my router any ideas why?

Visiting my parents and noticed that when we are watching something on Plex it will randomly pause then exit Plex and pulls up Paw Patrol options on Paramount Plus (what my daughter watches). They have a fire stick. Does anyone have a clue why it might be doing this and how to fix it? It only occurs while using Plex but I am wondering if it is a Firestick issue.

I've searched and all I find is how to stream music. I don't want to use data to stream music. I have a ton of music stored on my PC so how can I access that music via my Fire TV Cube to avoid using data?

I keep.getting the remote update message on screen. It never completes and no matter what I do, change batteries or reboot, I even changed to a new remote....nothing works.

Any ideas

Very nice device. I decided to get one since Roku does not allow browsers and there is no xbox app on their device. It's great to be able to play xbox games through the firestick. So hasta la vista to Roku! Also, they even quickly banned me from their sub just for asking a harmless xbox question. Speaking of the xbox app on the firestick, are only wireless controllers allowed? Does anyone happen to use a USB wired controller? I have heard you can plug one into a usb port of an Amazon FireTv.

AV Receiver, Xbox & Fire TV setup help

I need help with this setup, and I'm not sure which to use (I really don't want to try all of the troubleshooting when others might have the knowledge I seek). I have a Samsung TV, Fire TV Cube (3rd Gen), Xbox series X, and a Yamaha RX-V381 AV Receiver.

I have seen the following setups:

TV HDMI In to AV Receiver HDMI Out... Or TV HDMI In to Fire TV Cube HDMI Out...

Fire TV Cube HDMI Out to AV Receiver HDMI In (#1 slot)... Or Fire TV Cube HDMI Out to Xbox HDMI In... Or Fire TV Cube HDMI In to Xbox HDMI Out...

Xbox HDMI Out to AV Receiver HDMI In (#2 slot)

The I've also seen using an Optical cable from TV to AV Receiver' Optical, in order to control the sound from the AV Receiver's speakers with the Fire TV Cube's remote. This works, but the I can't bring up the AV Receiver's menus.

So any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I just bought this Toshiba 43” tv about 2 years ago, it was working fine last night and now it will not turn on, the red light it off and won’t turn on, remote battery’s were changed, I unplugged the tv for 1 minute and plugged it back in and nothing, unplugged it again and held the power button on the tv and still nothing. Anyone have any other ideas? The same thing happened to my old tv and that’s why I got a new one. My parents are going to be very pissed off if it’s broken. There’s no way it should be broken already if it’s only about 2 years old.

<sigh>

I'm trying to play videos on Amazon prime and I get the following error message:

"Intrernet connection error. Error code: DATA_CONNECTION_UNAVAILABLE. We're unable to continue playing this video because the rest of it isn't downloaded and there's no internet connection for live streaming. To continue watching, please connect your device to the internet. "

Obviously, my internet is fine and netflix and other apps are working fine.

I've done the following: restarted the fire cube, cleared cache, cleared data, and force stop on the app.

Other than flying into what is an ultimately unproductive and self destructive rage, can you offer some advice?

Is there anyway to update the internal storage of a FireTv. I have tried to do the USB but it won’t allow me to move most apps to the USB and I have only two apps I use. I’ve deleted all the apps I can delete

Any suggestions?

Has anyone figured out how to use disney plus with bluetooth headphones? Every time it hits a comercial it freezes at the ad. Internet speed is not an issue and this only happens when bluetooth headphones are in use. Firestick 4k 2022.

My Fire Tv started displaying this screen and won’t connect no matter what. I’m in the process of ordering a new remote to try that but I currently have one and it can turn it on and off as well as change the volume so clearly it’s connected. Unsure what to do
