Hi Nimeshp, thank you for providing feedback on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. I am sorry to see you have been disappointed in your experience thus far. If your Fire Stick isn't playing 4K, the most likely reasons are: your TV might not be set to 4K resolution, your HDMI cable might not be 4K compatible, your internet connection might not be fast enough, or the content you're trying to watch might not be available in 4K on the streaming app you're using; to troubleshoot, check your TV settings, ensure a high-quality HDMI cable is used, verify your internet speed, and make sure the content you're selecting is offered in 4K within the app. If these steps do not help and you are still experiencing issues, you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you again, wishing you a Happy Holidays!

You can restart from Settings or unplug the power adapter for 1 minute, and then plug it back in. -Restart your modem and router. To restart your devices: Unplug your modem and router for 30 seconds. Plug in your modem first and wait for the lights to turn on and for it to connect to the internet. Plug in your router and wait for the lights to turn on and for it to connect to the internet.

Hello EnocH,
Tuvo una inconveniencia con su Fire TV Stick 4K Max, pensó que el problema estaba en el control y no en los cables. Es frustrante cuando pasan estas cosas, especialmente después de poco tiempo de uso. Si está dentro el primer año que compró su dispositivo tiene garantía con Amazon, puede llamar servicio al cliente 1-888-280-4331 podrá resolver este asunto. Espero que esto le ayude. Tenga un gran día!

Hello ValS! I am terribly sorry that you haven't had any success setting up your Fire Stick. We do try to make the setup as seamless and intuitive as possible so that you can be up and running in minutes but sometimes just can't have every possible scenario covered in the event something goes wrong with the setup process. As this can be due to a number of different issues that we can't troubleshoot through your review posting, we would definitely love the opportunity to assist further via Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 to see if we can help you get past whatever is preventing you from being able to get all setup and working properly. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your feedback and I hope we can get you the resolution needed so you can begin enjoying your new Fire Stick. Have a terrific day!

Hello TimC. I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your Fire TV Stick 4K Max. When you start or stop streaming in 4K Ultra HD, your TV screen may flicker or turn black for a few seconds.
* Restart your Fire TV device. * Use the connection equipment that came with your device. * Confirm that any A/V receivers or sound bars connected to your Fire TV are on the correct input. You can also connect your Fire TV device directly to your TV. * Disconnect your Fire TV from the HDMI port then plug it back in. * Try replacing your HDMI cable or HDMI hub (not included) with a new one. * Use a High-Speed HDMI cable (not included) for streaming titles in 4K Ultra HD. * Match your remote's source or input button to the HDMI port that your Fire TV is plugged into. * Turn HDMI-CEC Device Control off and then on again: Go to Settings on your Fire TV. Select Display & Sounds. Select HDMI-CEC Device Control to turn it off and then on again. * Cycle the available resolutions on your Fire TV device by pressing and holding the Up and Rewind buttons together for five seconds. Allow your device to cycle through all available resolutions. If these steps do not help and you are still experiencing issues, you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi DFRS,
We are sorry you are not enjoying your new Fire TV Stick 4K Max. There are a few different solutions you can try on your TV to enhance your experience. First, you go to settings on the Fire TV home screen, or press the settings button on your remote. From there, you can select display and sounds and ensure that a screen saver is selected. You can choose one from the " Amazon Collection" or choose your own from your "Daily Memories" if you have your Fire TV linked with Amazon Photos.
From there, you can navigate to preferences on the main screen of the settings menu. Once you click on "preferences", you will see privacy settings. Click on that, and then you can toggle off the following: Device Usage Data, Collect App Usage Data, and Interest-based Ads. This will not remove ads completely from your TV, however, it will stop monitoring usage and targeting certain products based on your streaming preferences.
You can also give us a call anytime to troubleshoot issues or if you have more questions on how to optimize usage of your device. We can be reached at 1-888-280-4331!
Hope that helps!

Hello JoseD, I'm sorry to hear you are having difficulty with your 4K Max Fire TV Stick. Here are some troubleshooting ideas that could assist you: I'd first suggest trying to see if you have any updates available for the remote's software. Also, you'll want to make sure that you use a fresh pair of AAA batteries and when you insert new batteries into your remote, and both have the positive terminals point up. If these options don't fix the issue, Amazon customer support is always available 24/7 to help with your devices. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331, I hope this information helps. Have a great day!
