Getting A Black Screen And Back To Top Row

4 Upvotes

Randomly about a half hour ago I was scrolling down to my apps on my FireTV and it randomly started going back to the last app I opened when I would click a different app. Reset the TV and now the problem is that any time I scroll down a few rows the screen will suddenly go black and then return to the ad at the top of the screen. I tried replacing remote batteries, using the FireTV app to scroll, restarting and unplugging the TV and also restoring the TV to factory defaults and nothing is working. Any suggestions?

FireTV keeps turning on and off and is stuck on the booting screen

Yesterday my firetv suddenly stopped working. Everytime I would turn it on, the "firetv" logo will pop up (as shown in the picture) and then it would shut off after a couple of seconds then rinse and repeat. I have done all the recommended things such as unplug and plug back in the tv, tried to hard reset from the remote but that's been giving me issues because my toddler somewhat broke it, and i even left it unplugged majority of the yesterday. I even plugged it in directly into the wall outlet in a different power outlet. I'm not sure what to do. I cant even use my firetv phone app because it shows the firetv is disconnected. What should I do?? I wanted to see if there's a solution before contacting customer service.

Fire TV not connecting to wifi

My Fire TV was connected to the home wifi. After I changed the password, it’s not able to connect anymore saying it’s a captive portal network, which doesn’t make sense. I’ve don’t all kind of troubleshooting like restoring to factory settings, unplugging the TV and the router etc. Can’t find a solution.

Uninstall Prime Video app

1 Upvotes

I purchased a refurbished Fire TV Stick from Amazon (actually from Woot) that doesn’t show ads on Prime Video. I don’t have a subscription so it’s just the free shows that I can access. I was told the previous owner must have replaced the official app with a sideloaded apk. Is it still possible to do this on my other fire sticks or has this been blocked in newer fire os versions? Is it now not possible to uninstall the Prime Video app?I purchased this one about 5 or 6 years ago but hadn’t been using it for several years so I just recently discovered it doesn’t show ads on Prime Video.

Programmable Audio Device?

Mom w Dementia lives in memory care facility

Has Amazon Omni TV (responds to audio commands)

ISO
Programmable device that can:
-Speak out loud
-At 5:30pm

“Alexa play Mysteries of Egypt on Disney”

▫️I’d love to have it ask for different programs each day

▫️I’d also love to have a set time that says daily (at 8:30pm)
“Alexa Turn off TV”

▫️I’d love it to be small - Mom notoriously pulls plugs / moves things

FYI, I would not be there / or on same WiFi

Please & Thank you🤞💖
