r/fireTV

hi , just wondering if anyone might know if there is there any reason in particular that these TVs apparently do not stay on? Im not sure if there is like a secret jailbreak code i could try so my TV will remain on unless I personally pick up the remote and turn it off… I didn’t even know this was something I would have to consider when making the mistake of buying this TV…. And no, I do not have a sleep timer on or any other setting in which I have manually set my TV to turn off at random times in the middle of watching something.

New FireCube 3. onscreen keyboard no longer transcribes voice (from alexa button) into text, like it used to do in every other Fire device.

I saw some other posts on this -

they say its an Amazon issue, do a restart/cache clear etc. none of that is working

My apps keep buffering and will work with a reset for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Not losing internet because the apps will work in a sense that they will show all the content but Netflix will get stuck on 20% when trying to load a show. I have done all the normal trouble shooting techniques.

I've been having this issue for a couple of days.

I used to be able to use voice search in all apps, including third party and side-loaded apps, by making sure I was in the search box/keyboard of the app before pressing the blue microphone button on the remote.

But since a couple of days ago, this no longer works and using the microphone button will only search through the Fire Stick's internal search function, meaning I am no longer able to search via voice in apps.

I have cleared my all apps cache, the fire stick cache, I have checked for updates (all up to date), I have even factory reset the fires stick. The issue persists and I can't seem to find any fix online.

Please, can someone point me in the right direction.
