    This video actually helped answer a question of mine. I got the new 4k running OS8 2 weeks ago and was wondering why I am missing so many options my OS 6 stick has. I see from the video that he has a Max on OS8 and it's also missing the same options as mine. Don't know why the new sticks didn't come with all the options already installed or why it's taking so long to get an update for them.

  • @MH-ek2wx

    Even if your firestick is "unlcoked' you can install new updates? I thought if you did this it would take it back to the factory settings... please advise

    Thank you for a well done video. I have a question (lol); We have a FireTV television on Comcast with the voice remote, my wife needs to use the voice feature, what might the best way to do this so I use only ONE remote? Thank you

    • @ANARCHYTOORDER
      @ANARCHYTOORDER 2 місяці тому

      As I'm also annoyed that I always have to have, Two remotes having a Fire TV with one of my Comcast boxes, LOL I have wished the same thing literally, the only thing even close to a solution for that seems you're essentially using a completely different device the best of my knowledge. I don't think there's any crossover universal remotes that will do both Comcast and like voice remote on Fire TV but if you watch, mostly just recorded programs you could get the Xfinity Stream app and just use the Xfinity Stream app on your Fire TV instead of the box which would also save you whatever the price is these days $5 to $8 a month. They charge you for the rental I think that's probably the closest solution. You'll find anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong because if so, I will be the first one to try it, LOL

    I installed the Firestick remote app on my Samsung phone, and it works good except for one thing. An IPTV app that I'm using requires a long press on the Enter key to display a menu. This works on the original Firestick remote, but not on the phone app. Any suggestions for this?

    I have to cut all power to my 65" Samsung Frame in order to get a brand new Firestick to recognise the Source on my TV . Incredibly inconvenient as power switches concealed under TV console. Previous Firestick did not have this problem - but that one got bricked by a Firestick update! Any ideas on how I fix this? Thanks.

    I just got a bedroom tv with fire tv on it and I've never used it before, I can't hate it more! This video helps a bit (although I did find some of those things myself) but I still hate it. I'm considering returning the tv and get roku. My main tv is LG and it's fine. I don't get why anyone would want fire tv. Amazon need to stop intruding on my life! Nevertheless, great video!

    If you deregister your firestick and give it to a family member when they register it. if you wanted to leave the apps on there for them will they lose all of the apps that were loaded on there when it was registered to me or will the firestick apps have to be side loaded all over again when they register it with their Amazon account?

    • @NextTimeTech
      @NextTimeTech  Рік тому

      When you register a new account on your firestick, I believe it factory resets the device and does remove the apps you had downloaded

    Clearing cache is only recommended if the app is not working as cache is what helps apps opening up faster. Don't recommend clearing cache unless there's an issue 😊

    OK, the smartphone app is crap and doesn't work, the remote burns through a set of batteries every day. The thing monitors, records, and sells all my data, then annoys the crap out of me with ads when I'm trying to use it. Why would I continue to have this? I bought one a year and a half ago, used it twice and threw it in a box, it's been there ever since. Supposedly, they replaced the remotes that were bad, but I was told that was no longer an available recall. Total waste, even at the sale price. Might root it and put another OS on it, but it's not really powerful enough to go through the hassle.
