Hi Blessed, I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve had setting up your Fire TV Stick 4K Max. I know how frustrating it is when the remote won’t pair and the screen isn’t working properly. You might try a few quick steps: restart the Fire TV Stick by unplugging it from power for 30 seconds, make sure the TV is set to the correct HDMI input, and re-pair the remote by holding the Home button for about 10 seconds. If you continue to experience issues, I recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you for your feedback, have a great day!

The new fire stick 4K TV does not allow you to download third-party apps like the older 4K Fire TV sticks. It only allows you to use what’s on the fire stick. I do not recommend.

Hello! If you are having issues connecting or re-connecting your Fire TV remote, or trying to download apps, you can try these troubleshooting tips: -Replace the batteries in your remote. -Move your remote closer to your Fire TV device, within 10 feet (3 m). -Unplug your Fire TV device from the power cord or adapter then plug it back in. -Use the Fire TV app to pair your remote. -If you have seven controllers paired, remove one of them before attempting to pair another.

Hello RobertM! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing freezing and navigation issues with your Fire TV Stick 4K Max. This is incredibly frustrating, especially when a device isn't performing as expected. To help resolve the freezing and navigation problems, start by ensuring your device has a strong Wi-Fi connection, as connectivity issues can cause significant performance problems. Restart your Fire TV Stick 4K Max by unplugging it from power, waiting 30 seconds, then plugging it back in—this often clears temporary glitches causing freezing. Check for software updates by going to Settings, My Fire TV, and About, as outdated firmware can lead to performance issues. Clear cache on apps that may be causing problems by going to Settings, Applications, Manage Installed Applications, selecting the specific app, and choosing Clear Cache. Check your available storage under Settings, My Fire TV, and About, as insufficient storage can cause freezing and slow navigation. If your device is overheating, ensure it has proper ventilation and isn't enclosed in a tight space, as heat can cause performance degradation. You can also try a factory reset as a last resort by going to Settings, My Fire TV, and Reset to Factory Defaults, though this will erase all your settings and downloaded apps.
If these troubleshooting steps don't resolve the freezing and navigation issues you're experiencing, Amazon Customer Support is available 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331 for additional assistance.

Firestick Woes

Other than having more memory, this Firestick isn't worth the trouble. When streaming, the voices are out of sync, no matter which streaming service I'm using, it doesn't do it on the two other older Firesticks I'm using, it kicks off my blue tooth headphones out of the blue and doesn't allow me to clear the Cache. I've tried all the recommended routes to fix these problems to no avail. It's a total headache. I wasted my money on this product.

Hello PhilBo! I am terribly sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your Fire Stick. It does sound like you have done a lot of exploring on your own to troubleshoot this and have definitely tried a few options I would have suggested. The last 2 things I would offer is to try to ensure that you have the latest software version. You can find this by navigating to Settings>Device Software and Options>About>Check for Updates. If this isn't the issue, then you can also do a factory reset from that same route in Device Software and Options. Once factory reset, you can see if setting it back up again resolves the issues. If it does not, you can always reach out to Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 to troubleshoot further or explore what other options are available to you. Thank you for taking time to provide your feedback and I hope we can help resolve your problems so you can have a better experience. Have a terrific day!

Hello DonB! I am so sorry for the issues you are having with our Fire Stick. I am glad that your first one worked well for you!

I thank you so much for taking the time to provide your valued feedback and I hope you have a great day!

If this does not resolve your issue, I recommend you contact us directly at Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting.

This is a marketing device for Amazon. 4K image less than ideal, YouTube does not work as it should with this Amazon device. Please do yourself a favor and stay clear of this product. No one buys a product to serve as a marketing tool for any company.

Fire stick is fine, on line order fine, picking this up from store that's where it all went wrong. There is no online pick up, you have to stand in line with everyone who is buying in store. Would have been faster to just grab one of the shelf. Then when I make a comment to the man in the front his response was I should just buy in store. Bad customer service. Might as well go to Amazon next time. Live and learn.

Hi KSDG, I am sorry to see that your Fire TV Stick 4K Max has stopped working. I would like to provide some troubleshooting in order to get your device up and running again. 1. Replace the batteries in your remote. 2. Use the power cable and adapter included with your Fire TV device. If you lose your Fire TV device power cable or adapter replace them with Amazon branded equipment to ensure compatibility. 3. Unplug the power cord from your device or wall outlet for several seconds then plug it back in. 4. Press the source or input button on your remote and ensure your TV input matches the name or number of the HDMI port your Fire TV is plugged into (often located on the back of your TV). 5. Use an HDMI cable rated for high speed (you can purchase this separately). 6. Unplug your Fire TV from your HDMI hub (if you're using one) and plug it directly into your TV's HDMI port. If these steps do not help and you are still disappointed with the device you can reach Amazon Customer service 24/7 for assistance at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information helps, have a great day!
