Working fine last night.

BeeTV (I know now obsolete)

FilmPlus

CinePlus

Open and instantly close on my firetv and phone (s25 ultra)

Server issue maybe?

These apps were working just fine last night, but now they won't open. Any idea why or how I can fix it?

I think I would get this simply just to have it as it would be the last fire device with fireOS and it would be Android 16 at that considering come 2027 of January fire devices and fireOS will officially be EOL. The only thing that was supposed to run fireOS after January 2027 was fire TVs, which is still the case. However, I love that they’re pumping Android 16 out on the cube ( not VegaOS which is what was told & expected).

That information was given to us as Amazon employees or people who work with Amazon as Indies , marketers, distribution, testers, as far as we were all told this was not happening and here we are. :) Out of all devices I own my 3rd gen cube hasn’t had many problems if any issues at all with sideloading or what to use other than the free stuff closing down which I don’t use, all premium stuff works.

This has me pumped, a cube on Android 16 still able to be sideloaded on is a good move. I would definitely pick up the new cube as it’s supposed to also be a powerhouse of an upgrade running Android 16 , the information listed as far as the components is not accurate from what we have I do know that but then again, who knows this wasn’t supposed to exist but Android 16 is now just a huge bonus that would also mean running higher architecture APKs and again, for some reason, whether it be my experiences in multiple areas, beta testing, development, coding, whatever, the cubes never really gave me issues, they just work. In fact, I kind of really like the cube lineup.

I’m so curious to see how this pans out when released but the point is I’m actually excited about this product. I already walked away from fireOS because I have so much other hardware but then you gotta keep in mind with the Android/Google situation this month and next month that’s gonna be an issue for a lot of certified devices which I think uncertified android devices are going to make a comeback, keeping this move quiet even from the internal people that work with this company was kind of genius and releasing it. Such a great time with the whole developer and power user issue that GoogleOS is about to experience,. but the point is this is pretty darn cool and even smarter timing and choices when it comes to business, this very well should be the very last fireOS device (Other than TVs) running Android 16. Absolutely awesome. Smart play Amazon. In any case, I thought I would at least share see what people thought.thought.

I recently bought an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen, Wi-Fi 6, 8 GB), and I’m having a strange issue.

If I leave it unused for a few hours, it goes into sleep mode and won’t wake up again. The Alexa remote still turns my TV on and off, so the remote itself is working, but none of its buttons wake the Fire TV Stick.

I’ve tried pressing and holding the Home button and using every other button on the remote, but nothing happens. The only solution is to unplug the Fire TV Stick from the power outlet and plug it back in, which forces it to reboot.

It is connected directly to a wall outlet using its power adapter, not powered through the TV’s USB port. HDMI-CEC is also enabled.

Has anyone experienced this? Could this be a setting, a software bug, or a defective device? Is there anything I can try to fix it?

Anyone who is using CinePlus have issues with the app launching only for a second before sending you back to the home screen? How do you fix this if you've had this issue? I've tried clearing the cache and restarting my Firestick, but both have not solved the issue.

Anyone else's filmplus not working? The app won't open at all anytime you open it, it'll close immediately

Looks like TFlix bit the dust.

Ich bekomme mit folgendem Setup keine dolby Atmos Kompatibilität hin:

Fire tv stick --> Viewsonic x2 4k pro --> sonos arc ultra

Über das native Betriebssystem des viewsonic (android tv) kann ich in der sonos App sehen, dass Inhalte von Prime video einwandfrei in Dolby Atmos wiedergegeben werden. Dazu nutze ich den eArc port des beamers um mit dem beiliegenden hdmi kabel von Sonos zur Arc eine Verbindung herzustellen.

Sämtliche Inhalte vom fire tv stick werden nur in 5.1 wiedergegeben. Auch in der audio troubleshooting Übersicht steht des sticks, steht dass atmos nicht erkannt ist. Alles Optionen die ich habe stehen auf "best" oder "passthrough".

Hat jemand von euch eine Lösung für dieses Problem gefunden?

Brauche ich zusätzliche hardware?

Sollte ich statt dem Stick einen anderen Empfänger nutzen, um kodi und moonlight nutzen zu können?

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to update Nuvio on my Fire TV Stick 4K, but I’m stuck in a loop.
I’m currently using the Android TV version of Nuvio. I enabled the developer options and managed to install the app using a YouTube tutorial.
Now Nuvio is asking me to update directly from the app. I already enabled the option to allow Nuvio to install unknown apps.
The problem is:
Nuvio downloads the update successfully.
I start the installation.
The installation finishes extremely quickly.
The only option I get is “Done” — there is no “Open” or confirmation that the update was installed.
When I open Nuvio again, it asks me to update to the exact same version.
I’ve also tried downloading the APK directly from the official GitHub releases and installing it manually, but I get exactly the same result.
I’m using a Fire TV Stick 4K and the Android TV version of Nuvio.
Has anyone experienced this on a Fire TV Stick 4K? Is there a specific APK/architecture I should be using, or is there another way to force the update/install properly?

With recent Fire OS updates, app footprints getting larger, and Amazon rolling out new UI layouts and Vega OS hardware, I’ve been testing how different Fire TV devices handle performance over time.

On older hardware (and even basic 4K sticks), background app closures, storage limits, and home screen ad loading seem to be the biggest friction points users run into compared to platforms like Google TV or Roku.

I’m curious how your setup is holding up:

1. What specific Fire TV model/generation are you running as your main device?
2. Have you noticed performance dipping after recent software updates, or is it still running fast?
3. Do you prefer Fire OS over other platforms, or are you considering switching devices?

Firesend has stopped working on all my devices, tablets firesticks and phone.

Hi all. Please I am looking for a fire stick type of device where I can download movie and tv show streaming free apps without the fire stick banning the apps every so often.
