After trying so many things, watching other videos, I watched yours and did what you suggested. (My firestick and remote didn't work at all. I just had a blank screen). So I took out the powercord from the stick, took out the fire stick itself from the TV, waited a couple of mins, plugged it all back in AND it worked! It maybe a simple, basic video but it's brilliant and what's needed. Something that goes through all the options, in simple words that everyone can follow. Thank you!
Set up my Fire stick and it worked great. Couple days later I wanted to show my wife and... Blank screen. Watched your video and BAM!!! IT WORKED! Thank you!!!
Thanks much,one of your video was very helpful because my daughter haven't watched the tv for about 5 months or more,so I watched part of the video, pressed the home button and the fire stick is up and running 🎉😊
Thank You for your helpful tip!! I watch all of your Fire Stick video's and they most definitely help me with all of the problems I run into. Thank You for taking time out of your busy life & dumbing all these steps down for us!! 😊
Thank you so much the last time I had this happened I got a new fire stick so I thought maybe I would look online and see if I can find another way of fixing it and just one little step and now it works great thank you!
Great information as usual! I should probably restart my Firestick a little more often. If I have a problem, it's usually with the app (most of the time). Another thing that may help is restarting your router. I restart mine once a week (or more if necessary)..

Always informative!! I have a question regarding the Notification window. Why do I constantly get a notification for Music when I'm not using a music app? Is this just a bug on the Firestick? Love your videos!!
I put mine to sleep after each use. If you don't, the firestick continues to run. If you did the same to your computer it would eventually stop working and freeze up.
HEY ! I have a question I did the Firestick update with one your videos and seems to be working a bit better BUT WHEN I go to about in settings and back to update it still says Install update even though I did ?
Any tips on how to fix it if the screen suddenly just goes blank? I was watching it fine and it suddenly disconnected from the HDMI and the screen is just blank. It hasn’t come back on since, I’ve been doing evrything for the past 3 days now
Did you unplug the stick from the tv and the wall outlet? Then unplug your actual tv. With everything unplugged wait 60 seconds and plug the tv back in, then plug your firestick back into the port and outlet. You are resetting the hdmi port on your tv. Should do the trick
If the screen is black. You either aren’t on the correct input, your stick isn’t plugged into the wall, or your hdmi cable isn’t tight. Unplug everything, stick, tv, from the tv and the outlets. Wait 60 seconds and plug everything back in
Mines was deregistered and amazon cant do anything any help it wont let me login back in as was registered its a firestick lite can it be factory reset i can get to wifi settings and login any help
I have been on the phone with Amazon about the error message. I had done everything they told me and nothing. My Firestick will come on but it stops loading. Help
I would need more info. What model stick? Which OS update are you on? How long have you had it? What error message? Just need to give a little more for help to be effective.
Are you saying that MB is returning? Or the small amount of kb that some apps require to launch? We discussed this in our videos. I'm just concerned if you are returning and MB is back. Please clarify
@CuriosityCafe I go into manage installed apps. Go to each app installed. Clear say 25 cache. Then check them again and the 25 cache is there again. When I clear cache on each one they say 0. When you go back into same installed app. It restores back where it was.
I have videos that will help with this. You need to clean house. Meaning clear all your cache and close all your apps. If you ran background apps and processes like on our videos, I bet you have all your apps open. Most people don't close them or know to. This will fix your issue. Have a good night. Watch some videos of ours
Most people either use the remote sync code, or use the fire tv app to get into settings. Do you not have the fire app? It's free and we did a video on it. Easier to control your firestick
Nope. Holding the home button did nothing. I had to press and hold the back button AND the right side of the navigation circle. But warning, that resets it to the factory defaults (which is what I needed).
Have you tried new batteries? Typically you can override the stuck with the remote. Unplug from the power outlet and during boot, hold the buttons as shown on the remote
Hi! Can you please do a video on how to install a fully working mouse toggle on a the latest version Walmart Google onn streaming box I've tried various apps and stuff but no joy so far 😢Regards john from Kent UK.

Thank you, that was simple and very helpful. I couldn’t watch anything on any app anymore and now it’s back to normal :)

Turn off notifications. We have a video we posted on settings to turn off. Click our channel name. It's one of our most popular videos.
👍 Thanks! 😍
Question: So, should I put my FireStick to *Sleep* after each use? And I should *Restart* twice a week? TiA! 😊
I put mine to sleep after each use. If you don't, the firestick continues to run. If you did the same to your computer it would eventually stop working and freeze up.
Thx this worked!
HEY ! I have a question I did the Firestick update with one your videos and seems to be working a bit better

Might have been a few behind. Did you do it again?
Thank you!!
Thank you so much

Im not sure if it will woek but if it doesnt can you help me because my tv screen is pure black and the controls wont work
If the screen is black. You either aren’t on the correct input, your stick isn’t plugged into the wall, or your hdmi cable isn’t tight. Unplug everything, stick, tv, from the tv and the outlets. Wait 60 seconds and plug everything back in
Is Netflix working on fire stick? Coz mine is not working and if it’s working how can I go about it? Thanks
Works perfectly. Is yours updated? Did you try force closing it and restarting your firestick?
Thank you Sir
Got the new Firestick 4K Max. Got setup completed, now trying to download some apps from you but it won’t allow it. Keeps saying to go to settings.
You have to allow permissions in settings unlocking the developer options. We have those videos for you on Patreon
@@CuriosityCafe okay going to watch 😁 thank you for you patience.
Mines was deregistered and amazon cant do anything any help it wont let me login back in as was registered its a firestick lite can it be factory reset i can get to wifi settings and login any help
You should be able to add it back in. Just have to add device in the alexa app. If you need private help, reach out on patreon
I've unplugged everything, router and all. And my Fire TV is stuck on the purple screen with the fire tv logo for 2 days, won't do anything.
How old is it? Might need factory reset if you unplugged the firestick power from the wall outlet and still like that
🥰 perfect
Why do I keep getting the message that tells me. There was a problem parsing the package. Please help . Thank you in advance.
Im guessing it’s a 3rd party app? You need to set the firestick up to handle it. Can’t just install apps anymore. We have help videos
I have been on the phone with Amazon about the error message. I had done everything they told me and nothing. My Firestick will come on but it stops loading. Help
I would need more info. What model stick? Which OS update are you on? How long have you had it? What error message? Just need to give a little more for help to be effective.
Why when I clear the casch it shows 0. Then you go back in it still shows the same amount in casch again. What am I doing wrong?
Are you saying that MB is returning? Or the small amount of kb that some apps require to launch? We discussed this in our videos. I'm just concerned if you are returning and MB is back. Please clarify

I go into manage installed apps. Go to each app installed. Clear say 25 cache. Then check them again and the 25 cache is there again. When I clear cache on each one they say 0. When you go back into same installed app. It restores back where it was.
kb or mb. Please clarify. 25kb is like a grain of sand in a desert
Have TV & FS on a smart plug, both power on & off every day.
Smart move
It comes on slow and I can’t see my downloads channel. I have an error message stated there was an error that prevented this from loading
I have videos that will help with this. You need to clean house. Meaning clear all your cache and close all your apps.

Yes. That means you also are resetting the remote. Normally not necessary unless it’s linked to another stick
Unplug it, go have a sandwich. Love it😂
These icons show for about 3 seconds then disappear what should I do
Not sure what you mean
👍
Ok but mine is stuck on the screen. I can't hold the home button down it does nothing
Have you tried new batteries? Typically you can override the stuck with the remote. Unplug from the power outlet and during boot, hold the buttons as shown on the remote
I can't get a signal through my TV to even get to the settings
Hi my fire stick will not reboot after a update
It certainly should. Reach out on Patreon and we can try some things
How do I install Sterling TV
Sterling? They stopped accepting new subs. We have alternatives posted on Patreon for you. Did you see them?
@Curiosity Cafe no I didn't what are they
Patreon.com/curiositycafeyoutube - there are free and paid ones posted for you
Hi! Can you please do a video on how to install a fully working mouse toggle on a the latest version Walmart Google onn streaming box I've tried various apps and stuff but no joy so far 😢Regards john from Kent UK.
I won't be doing a video on that box, I'm sorry. There are many better android boxes that we do review however
i simply unplug every 2 days🖒
Thank you 😊
Am not able to open settings.. the menu isn’t opening.
Interesting? You unplugged your firestick from the wall outlet for 10 seconds?
Thank you!
Thank you !
