Up until yesterday it was displaying the default Amazon collection screensaver which I preferred over AerialViews. But now I’m seeing ads come on instead of the screensaver?

What is going on? Is anyone else experiencing the same? I haven’t changed a single setting on the cube. I haven’t touched anything that could trigger screensaver to be replaced by ads.

Considering this I may finally be forced to use AerielViews instead, which I’m not really fond of.

How can I stop these ads and force the Amazon collection screensaver to come on again?

Im on this version now with an US Amazon account, and still don’t have the new UI. I can’t stand the current one that lets me only pin 6 apps to the front, and am waiting eagerly to get the new launcher UI.

Do you have it yet on your 3rd gen cube?

This is my new 3rd gen Cube. Sometimes when I switch between apps or as you can see here tell Alexa to open Spotify while music is playing, it opens Spotify and then the music sounds really muffled, when it was loud before. This is really annoying and kills the experience.

As you can see when I return to the homescreen the audio level becomes normal again. What the f is causing this behavior?

I checked every single setting on the Cube itself, and the Amazon Alexa app on my iPhone. However I’m unable to get to the bottom of this, and would appreciate any help to fix this issue.

Couple days ago I bought my first FireTV, the 3rd gen Cube. Now the first thing that immediately pisses me off (besides the ads and tiny app icons) is the sleep mode that forces my cube to shut off after around 20-30 mins. It lets me choose to display a „no signal“ on my Samsung TV, or a black screen.

What in the f is this? And why can’t it be disabled? What’s the point of the still screensavers when the cube just turns itself off regardless?

Because of this terrible forced „sleep mode“ feature I seem unable to opt out of, I was wondering wether the 3 gen Cube will be getting the new homescreen layout? Because I read that the Ambient experience motion screensavers are bundled with that new UI and come together.

I also read that the Ambient Experience screensaver that is not available with the Cube, has the timeout option „Never“ which would mean the sleep mode issue goes away, and the screensaver stays on until I press a remote button.

I already tried the following method of trying to disable sleep mode using my Android phone, but it did not work for me: https://youtu.be/6mnWqWocr5M?is=NGAa-LrRBP0PfUzr
