Posted .Hi RussellCoburn, thank you for providing feedback on the Fire TV Stick 4K. I am sorry to see you've had issues with the device freezing up from time to time. This could be due to several reasons including network issues, overloaded apps, outdated software, or even a faulty HDMI cable; try restarting your Fire Stick, checking your Wi-Fi connection, clearing app caches, updating your Fire Stick software, and ensuring your HDMI cable is properly connected.

Posted .Hi caob,
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear that your Fire TV Stick 4K Plus isn't working. I understand how frustrating it is to purchase a new streaming device and have it not function properly right out of the box.
Let's try a few quick troubleshooting steps that often resolve setup issues:
Basic troubleshooting:
Ensure the Fire TV Stick is plugged directly into an HDMI port on your TV (not through an HDMI switch or extender)
Make sure you're using the included power adapter plugged into a wall outlet (not the TV's USB port, as it may not provide enough power)
Try a different HDMI port on your TV
Unplug the Fire TV Stick from power for 30 seconds, then plug it back in
If you've tried these steps and the device still doesn't work, please contact Amazon Customer Service at 1-888-280-4331 or through your Amazon account to arrange for a replacement or refund. They'll be able to help you get this resolved quickly.
We apologize for this experience and appreciate you giving us the opportunity to make it right.

Posted .Hello Grizz57! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with our Fire Stick 4K! I am glad you got a nice deal on this device! I am so sorry for the misunderstanding of exactly what live programming is available for each area. One thing that you can do to access your live local programming is via a live service subscription through services and apps such as Hulu Live, YouTube TV, or Sling TV. While those services do require subscriptions, they do give the full experience of streaming a cable service provider. In addition to this, you can access a wide plethora of free live programming through apps like PlutoTV and there are even select markets with free Live Local news and weather available via the News app. These are all just the tip of the iceberg of what one can do with a Fire Stick as well! There are thousands of movies and shows available with an immense amount of them all being free. Also, if you do have a cable service provider, we have access to apps like DirecTV Stream and Xfinity that you can use. There are games available for download and via our Luna cloud based gaming service. And with Alexa fully integrated into this, you can use your voice and remote to control your smart home services through brands like Ring or Blink amongst many others. I hope this gives you a small taste of the many ways you can utilize the terrific priced value you got on your Fire Stick and that you have an improved experience the more you dive into your options. Thanks again for your feedback and I hope you have an amazing day!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit worked when first installed. When an app was updated by the service, there seemed to be no easy way to load it into the Fire TV Stick. Now it does not work at all.

Posted .Hi JamesF, thank you for providing feedback about Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. I am sorry to see that the device has stopped working properly. Based on the issue stemming from an app update, I would recommend trying the following steps, in order, until the issue is resolved:

You can also restart from the Fire TV settings: Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Restart.
2.
Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates.
If an update is available, install it.
3.
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications.
Select the problematic app, and then choose "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data".
4.
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications.
Select the app, then choose "Uninstall".
Find the app in the Amazon Appstore and reinstall it.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Faulty Fire Stick. Not sure if I was sold something returned to the store. It was the last one on the shelf. Unplugged it and put it in a drawer after putting my old one back on TV. Forgot past the return time frame allowed so be sure to take yours back right away if it seems to have issues. Oddly, never had an issue with ones I ordered online from Amazon.

Fire stick stuck on black screen
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this product for a total of 14 days and after about 10 days it has begun to malfunction. I would turn on the tv and navigate to the fire stick hdmi input and the screen would just remain black. I've switched to different hdmi ports, tried to reset the fire stick, unplugged and replugged and nothing works. This product is poorly made and I will never purchase one again. Furthermore, I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Posted .Hi JonT, thank you for providing feedback about the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. I am sorry to see the experience you have had thus far. Some common solutions to try (understanding you have may already tried some or all of these):
Restart your Fire TV device.
Disconnect the Fire TV device from the HDMI port then plug it back in.
Use the power cord or adapter included with your device to plug the Fire TV device. This ensures Fire TV has access to enough power.
Let the device sit for 25 min (turned on) or until the screen changes.
If possible, try with and without an HDMI adapter or extender.
Make sure that you're using a high-speed HDMI cable.
Try using a different HDMI port.
If possible try using a different TV.
If none of these have resolved the issue you are having, a factory reset may be necessary.
To factory reset your Fire TV device with your remote:
If needed, safely eject expandable storage.
Press and hold the Back button and the right side of the navigation circle together for 10 seconds.
On the TV screen, choose to continue or cancel the factory reset. If you don't choose, the device resets automatically after several more seconds. If these steps do not help and you are still experiencing issues, you can always reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you again for your feedback and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Posted .Hello, Arby. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with the Fire TV Stick 4K remote. I have some recommendations to try and solve your issue. First, I would check the TV settings within the Fire TV Stick 4K. You can do this by going to Settings, Equipment Control, and selecting Manage Equipment. Select "Change TV" and choose the TV manufacturer to ensure the correct IR codes are being sent. If that does not work, I recommend repairing the remote. Go to Settings, Controllers and Bluetooth Devices, and select Amazon Fire TV Remotes. Select the remote and follow the on-screen prompts. If these steps do not help, and you are still having functionality issues, you can call Amazon customer service, available 24/7 for assistance with the device. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you!
