Caution!! 5GB not 8
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as an upgrade to an older model cause i need more storage for applications. Specifications had it listed with 8gb however after going through the setup i discovered the device only had 5gb which is what my previous device has which isnt enough for me. Bestbuy please correct this!

Posted .Hello TLC44! Thank you for your feedback on your Fire Stick. I do apologize for the confusion on the available storage on your Fire Stick. Every device will list the total storage capacity amounts with the system software always taking up a portion of that. That is the standard across all electronics devices with storage capacity. One thing that we do have available is additional options in our lineup that address this in the event that 8GB (not including system software) isn't enough. We have our Fire Stick 4K Max and our Fire TV Cube devices that both come with additional features and speeds and both boast a 16GB storage capacity. You can contact the location you purchased this at and see if you are within your exchange period to see if you can switch to one of those models. I hope this helps answers your issue and that you have a great day!

No, I would not recommend this to a friendFire Stick does not work with home theater system
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once installed, I could access shows, but there was no sound. I could not get the firestick to work with my home theater sound system. numerous phone calls to Amazon support and a few hours trying to find solutions were not fruitful. However, since I purchased this Fire stick more than two weeks ago, I can no longer return it to Best Buy for a refund since that have such a short window of time for such returns.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback on the Fire TV Stick 4K. I’m sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing with sound not playing on your home theater system. Here are a few troubleshooting steps to try: 1. Check that your equipment supports the audio format you're trying to use. To see supported audio settings, use the Audio and Video Diagnostics tool on your Fire TV device: a. Go to Settings on your Fire TV device. b. Select Display & Sounds. c. Select Audio/Video Diagnostics to see supported settings. 2. If the audio format you want to use is detected, but content being streamed is in a different audio format: a. Use the test video at the bottom of the page to confirm that your equipment setup supports surround sound. b. Check that the content supports surround sound. 3. If the audio format you want to use isn’t detected, it can’t be played with your current equipment setup: a. Make sure that your equipment supports surround sound and is set up correctly. Some AVRs will require height speakers for Atmos support. Check the user manual that came with your devices or contact the manufacturer for more help. b. Make sure that you’re using a high-speed HDMI cable. Optical cables don’t fully support surround sound. c. Connect your Fire TV device directly to the HDMI input on your soundbar or AV receiver. You can use another HDMI cable to connect your soundbar or AV receiver to the HDMI ARC input on your TV. d. Change your audio format to a lower setting. Go to Settings on your Fire TV device and then Display & Sounds. If these steps do not help and your are still disappointed with the device you can reach Amazon Customer service 24/7 for assistance. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information helps, have a great day!

They couldn't fix it either via screen sharing in/on my TV Screen to troubleshoot the Firestick. They ended up replacing it for free with my return of the 1 I purchased from BestBuy.

Fire Stick
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the second Fire Stick that I have had to replace. Is this a matter of shoddy manufacture, or planned obsolescence? I don' t know. What I do know is, twice now I have invested too much time trouble-shooting, calling, driving, shopping for a device that seems to malfunction or wear out too often.

Posted .Hello installable! I am so sorry to hear about the challenges you are having with your Fire Stick. It should definitely not be shutting off on its own like that. You can try to see if you have a pending software update that may be affecting your experience. You can do this by navigating to Settings>Device and Software>My Fire Stick> Check for Updates. If this has any pending updates, it will download and install them and power cycle your Fire Stick for you. As for the difficulty of trying to find programs after a power cycle like that, you can use Alexa by pressing and holding the Alexa button and then saying the name of the show you were watching. This should open it in the app you were viewing it from and resume where you left off. I hope these tips help improve your experience and I thank you for your time and review. Have an amazing day!
Firestick review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have had repeated instances where our tv can’t pick up streaming channels. Very disappointing and irritating, although I can’t blame just the Firestick.

Posted .Hello JohnvC,
I am sorry to hear your TV can not stream channels. The Fire Stick 4K turns your TV into a smart TV and allows you to download different streaming apps. Once your Fire Stick is installed you can choose which video streaming apps you want to use, like Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Paramount+, and others. I hope this helps, have a nice day!

Posted .Hello RoxanaH,
Sorry to hear about your trouble with the Fire TV Stick. I hope I can provide some information to help you resolve these issues. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connection issues with your Fire TV:
1. Use Fire TV's network status tool to identify problems with your connection and learn how to fix them. Select Settings > Network from the Fire TV menu, then Play/Pause on your remote, and follow the recommended steps.
If the connection issue persists try the following:
1. Use the connectors and cables that came with your Fire TV device.
2. Confirm that you are using a Wi-Fi password and not an Amazon account password.
3. Store your Fire TV out of enclosed areas such as closets that block your Wi-Fi signal.
4. Restart your Fire TV device and any home network devices like modems or routers.
5. If the issue persists, reset your Fire TV device to factory settings.
I hope these options help to resolve the issue you're having. If not, you can call Amazon customer support at 1-888-280-4331Thank you again. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continue to improve and grow our products for additional support. Have a great day!

Posted .Hi SamF,
I am sorry your having trouble setting up your Fire TV Stick 4K. Here are some steps to try and get your Fire Stick working:
-Put the batteries into the remote.
-Connect the power cable to the power adapter and the Stick.
-Plug in the Stick to the TV's HDMI port. Use the HDMI extender cable if it's difficult to plug the Stick into the TV's HDMI port.
-Plug in the power adapter to the wall. Avoid plugging the USB cable directly into the TV.
-Turn on your TV and switch to the correct HDMI input.
Tip: Use the remote that came with your TV to select the HDMI source or input.
Use your mobile phone to scan QR code to automatically add Wi-Fi settings and complete registration or use the remote instead to set up manually. If you choose to use the remote instead, follow the on-screen instructions to connect to Wi-Fi and sign in with your Amazon account. Use your mobile phone or computer to visit the on-screen web address (amazon.com/code) and enter the activation code.
-Follow the on-screen questions to set up equipment control for devices like soundbars.
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.
Hope this helps, have a nice day!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item consumed nearly 10 hours to configure. This item has too much spyware. Very disappointed
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Amazon Devices Customer Support
Posted .Hi Retiredcabinetmaker,
The Fire TV Stick 4K has absolutely no spyware, as it is designed to protect your privacy. If you need additional help with set up, which takes most customers a few minutes, please call us. If your Wifi connection is not strong enough, this can cause longer downloading times, streaming issues etc. and is most likely the cause of your issues. An active Amazon account with current login credentials is also required.
Amazon customer service is available 24/7 for assistance on the device. You can reach us at 1-888-280-4331.
Hope that helps!

Posted .Hello, bige1995. I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your Fire TV Stick 4K. I have some recommendations to try and help. 1. Restart your Fire TV Stick 4K by unplugging it from power, waiting 15 seconds, and plugging it back in. 2. Try a different HDMI port on your TV to see if it recognizes the device. 3. Ensure your Fire TV Stick is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a USB port on the TV. If these steps do not help, and you are still having functionality issues, call Amazon customer service at 1-888-280-4331. They are available 24/7. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you!
