I don't like making any comments but, I have to say thanks, Finally, I'm able to work the volume and the on & off button. My second remote with your channel and they both worked. I'm not good with these gadgets remote. So thanks to your channel, it helped.
You're awesome! I was without volume function/on off features for 3 months-- my fire stick and remote are brand new ( bought in January '22). This video is great and easy to follow!🙂👍
Thank you! My volume and mute has not worked on my fire stick for months and now it’s fixed because I was able to follow this video thank you so much!!!
Perfect . So simple and straight to the point, along with a visual demonstration.. I have seen so many way too long videos with these crazy seqi3nces of things to be done only to end with, well you may have to do this several timea.. thanks for this video.
This video worked. After googling several webpages with no luck in pairing my fire stick and tv, this video mentioned another place to look in settings. Thanks for the info.
Great advice. I initially thought I had to pay some to program this remote. I was wrong your step & trouble shutting solution steps were right on point. Especially when disconnected power supply to fire stick it self once I reconnect- it connected the fire stick to remote n problem solved. Once you have new batteries it’s down hill from there. Just follow the process. These guys are on point.
Yep it was the darn batts. I started my workout downstairs, turned on fine, nav'd fine. Then after finishing, I pushed the power button and tv wouldn't turn off. I tried the 10 sec sync I saw elsewhere, no luck. Then saw first minute of yours and oh yeah those crappy stock batteries. Works now. thanks.
MAN, MAN, THIS WAS GOOD, MY FIRESTICK'S POWER AND THE VOLUME WERE NOT WORKING, BUT NOW IT IS GOOD TO GO, IF YOU SWITCH TO ANOTHER TV, YOU MUST DO THIS,,,THANK YOU, BUDDY.....
I have looked at a half dozen videos on this topic, everyone mentions the powering on/off of the Stick and Remote but yours is the first that has mentioned the Equipment Control section in the Settings. I had set up a friends new Fire TV Stick 4K on my TV in order to allow me to set it up at my leisure instead of "under the pressure" of doing it all at their home. As with most things, no good deed goes unpunished. Everything went fine on my TV but of course the remote would not control the friend's TV (volume, on/off, mute). I tried all the power off/power on combinations to reset the TV and remote, pressing the Home button, etc. [I don't understand why Amazon doesn't have a Unpair function under Controllers & Bluetooth Devices like it does for the bluetooth devices, that would be too user-friendly.] After watching this video I went back to the friend's TV, opened the Equipment Control, Manage Equipment, TV, and Change TV. I went through the process of changing from my TV to the friend's and viola the remote now controls the TV functions. Thank you for this and your other videos, they have been very helpful in getting the most out of a bunch of Fire TV Sticks.
Hey, thank you. I've been on about 13 sites trying to get my remote to work. Power&Volume. Didn't work. Every site had me resetting remote. What it was the tv was set wrong type. I have GE. Now it works.. thank you.
My grandson age 5 did something to de-sync the remote from my tv. Thanks for this because I just went into equipment settings and fixed it. Thank you!!!
Thank you for that because I was just gonna throw my outside ! Haven’t bin working from yesterday decide to come on here first and the home button did work when I hold it down !
Thanks mate I tryed to pair the remote pair for the volume but manged to unpair it . So I did what you said just take the battery's out of the remote and unplug the fire stick for ten mins . Booted it back up , put the battery back in and boom working straight away . Thanks buddy
Hi there I just came across your video as I typed in. How can I get my fire stick remote to work and your video came up so thank you for that. I did try changing the batteries. Actually the original batteries still turn the TV on and off or the Fire Stick ‼️⚛️⚛️⚛️⚛️⚛️⚛️⚛️ on and off but that’s all it would do, I did hold the home button and the light was flashing. Nothing appeared on the TV after it stopped flashing like the clock and the four in the bottom I moved up and down left right but it wouldn’t do anything at all. It would not go back with the arrow. It would not go to home absolutely nothing the remote only turns the TVon and off is there anything I can do for this or has something happened that I cannot fix bring back the remote thank you kindly for your response
Great service! Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, my firestick is still not working. I bought new batteries. I then resynced the remote to my Samsung TV using your instructions. Don't know if it matters, but my remote blinked red, not white like yours. And, I did not recover control of my firestick. I have not changed my TV, but I can't access settings on my firestick, anyway. Can you please help?
Just yesterday started having problems with the TV volume and your video pops up today totally fix the problem with your instructions thank you so much always with helpful information👍👍
Thnx CC for your help, I change my firestick to another tv, didn't work I called Amazon couldn't help me jaja, I saw your video in less the a min done deal jaja
I have a trexonic TV. This is not on the list of TVs in "Equipment". I selected "brand not listed". I did as instructed and tried to turn TV off. After 6 failed attempts I could not set up my fire stick remote. Everything works except volume and turn off and on TV. Do you know which brand I can select that would work best in setting up this fire stick remote to my Trexonic 14" TV?
Hi, great job on the videos. I had reset the remote and set up the TV to it. But I have a issue. Not sure if there are other options. What is happening is when I go to Equipment Control, I do not see the other options, Manage Equipment, Add Equipment, TV, Fire TV, Advanced Settings. I only see Add Equipment. Clicking on the Add Equip. the TV shows up and then it searches for the TV, which it finds, I select that and the volume works, till I put the stick to sleep or go to a App, I then lose the settings. Talking to Amazon they recommended to go back to factory settings. I was wondering if there are other options is fixing this? Thanks Eero
@@CuriosityCafe What I did is took the stick to my cabin TV and add a LG TV to the stick and when I came back, I put it back to a Samsung TV, but had to remove the LG, since it kept using that TV settings and did not retain the Samsung TV at home. Really did not do anything else. Not sure if I did any other mods on it.
I love your videos and watch regularly. However, the remote learning did not help me. My puppy ate the remote. Tried pairing a new remote but it says I need the OLD one to approve be remote. Now I can watch minimal stations with TV remote. I have an LG Smart TV. Please help.
There is only one official fire tv app. We have a video on it to show which one. But the easiest thing to do is watch our remote codes video, You can sync the remote in 10 seconds without the app
I liked your video very much. You covered a lot of information that’s super-helpful to me and I thank you for that. The presenter is obviously very knowledgeable about the Amazon firestick! My only note would be that the speaker is a little too fast for me. I found myself needing to pause and rewind a couple of times to make sure I grasped something completely. In making future videos, I’d suggest to slow down just a bit for slowpokes like me. Not everyone may have found this to be a problem? Overall, it was an excellent, informative video. Thank you!
I will do my best, I get the "hurry up and get to the point" and the "slow down you go too fast" comments on the same video. Tough to find the happy place for everyone. Thanks for supporting the channel and subscribing.
Can i program my 1st generation firestick remote to work on the 4k FS TV? I misplaced the remote for the 4k but still have the older. How can I navigate the FS 4k without a remote? it doesn't move from the home button
Hello, old remote wasn’t working even with new batteries. Amazon sent me a new remote. Trying to connect the new one but it wants me to hit select button using the old remote which doesn’t work. Can you help with instruction to get this new remote added. I hit the home button until blinking fast but doesn’t connect. Tried the 3 button approach as well.
Jake did you watch the secret codes video? It has a great remote fix on it. You actually hold certain buttons for 30 seconds then wait a couple minutes.
TH-cam university to the recuse again.. I was there disturbing my bf at work about the remote when I should have just come to TH-cam university immediately 🤦🏽♀️😂😂
I have a question about watching live TV and recordings on iPhone 13 Pro. I had been able to do this until just recently. Now when I use my Fire TV phone app it doesn’t connect and I get this error message: Can’t connect to Fire TV recast. Your Fire TV Recast could not be reached through network. Check that you have a strong connection & try again later. Network connection can be verified in settings. Do you have any suggestions to correct this. My AT&T provider only offers 50 mps. Could this be an issue. Can you help?? Thank you
I enjoy your advice and channel. I have a problem with my fire TV. I am installing a new unit on my TV..however..when i get to remote set up and it asks what kind of TV i have it just gets stuck in a loop there and will not progress...any ideas...No one at Amazon has an answer....John
Two things you can try (and we have these videos on TH-cam to follow) - use the secret remote code to automatically detect it. Or go into settings on the fire device and manually select it there
Got any suggestions on a fire stick that will not come on? Just has the firetv logo and the three little dots saying it's loading but never does. Lynnette
Have you tried unplugging from both the tv, and the wall outlet? Wait 60 seconds and plug both in? Also don’t have any peripherals plugged in during this (OTG, eternal hard drive, gyropad etc)
@@CuriosityCafe Yes, I've done all of that. It's even been unplugged for a couple of weeks. Tried on a different tv as well. Same thing. If only I could get inside to restart to factory.
The remote code will factory reset it. Stick doesn't even need to be on. Are you holding the right remote buttons down for the amount of time we share in that video (not this one)
I reset to factory BUT have now lost original remote. Possible to continue setting up without one? Can I somehow pair a brand new remote or use my phone? Help! Thanks!
I may have a problem of a different nature. A few months ago l switched internet providers and lost my use of my fire stick. I've tried everything, and still no luck. My fire stick will turn my LG TV on and off, and turn the volume up and down but that is it.
You need to re-sync. The remotes not synced. You can hold the home button for 15 seconds or so until the light blinks and wait. Or you can use the fire tv app on your smart phone and go into settings to pair it. Your remote has two functions Bluetooth and IR. Your tv is IR so it works
