Excellent video. Worked wonderful for me and I have no knowledge on these things. THANK YOU! I definitively look for more of your videos. This is the first time I follow one of you videos. Great help.
Thankyou Mr.Disco stew, after seeing your video, I am spared from a lot of hardships. Infact I already kept a replacement request with the AMAZON. But after going through your youtube video, I tried the APP suggested by you and eventualy completed the task comfortably. THANKS ALOT. .... Y.R.RAO
Thanks. Even the Amazon person could not have helped me quicker. Although, she did get me to download the app for my iPad which helped with this video. Had two remotes that stopped working last night. One was an older model, but both had microphones. Both work now! And it only took a 3 minute video!
I looked at 4 or 5 of these videos before I found the combination that worked for me. The main obstetrical is with the remote not working it is hard to get to settings where you can get information and repair. The video about using the Fire TV Cell Phone Application. Once I installed that and connected I was able to navigate to settings where I was able to confirm if the Fire Remote was pairing. For me it was a pairing issue, it was a bit stubborn pairing but after several tries it did pair, that was it. You may have a different issue but being able to navigate I think is a good 1st step. Obviously from this video there were some remotes with opposing + / - poles and I did try that.
I was using the app as the remote when my remote stopped working. Recently I changed my internet wifi password, now the app isn't working either, keeps searching for a firestick device, doesn't find it. I deleted and reinstalled the app, still. Do you have a workaround for that? Will be grateful for any help
Yup it work for me too thank you so much. I do have a question it asked me to download new version so I did then it asked me to delete the old version should I ?
Ok. I have a huge problem. The remote is already paired. But its saying that the battery is offline. No function is working at all. I've the batteries several times and still nothing seems to work. This is the voice remote, where you can ask Alexa to search for things. Please, please help.
Hi, I lost all of my programmings on my fire tv stick. I started loading it up like I did when I first got it. Now my remote will not pair up with it. I put new batteries in it & It will not respond to it.
Disregard this in the comment below as it was another video that it was referring too. Obviously from this video there were some remotes with opposing + / - poles and I did try that.
This didn't work. My remote shows up in the menu, but won't work. When trying to pair a new remote the fire stick won't find it. We've been having this issue on and off for months. We change batteries, even though there was no low battery warning, and it still doesn't work. It might be like this for days, but eventually starts working again on its own.
Sammantha, I saw your post was only a few hours. I'm home trying to get mine to work also. I tried exactly what he said and did not work for me either. I just use my iphone to pair the app and it actually works better. Also, my tv remote automatically paired on it's on. Try using your tv remote (and use the play, rewind, ff, etc). It works great.
if both phone and fire stick are on same network and still won't connect, they could be on a guest network with everything locked down. specifically, on my netgear the setting is under BASIC/GUEST NETWORK and the checkbox is labeled "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network", and it should be checked. if I remember correctly, on my last router it was just labeled "AP Isolate" try connecting both to a 2.4ghz non guest network and see if they connect to each other.
Unfortunately, this does not work for me. After I DL the app, it asks me for a 4 letter code that is supposed to show on my TV. But my remote does not work, so I cannot see Fire TV on my TV, so how am I supposed to get the code?
I download the app. It’s asks for a four letter code on the screen. In his video that does not occur. I watched it 3 times. My tv screen is black, how am I supposed to see the 4 numbers? Is there a work around.? How do I contact Amazon Help?
I used the app to get to the pairing screen and when I hold the home button on my remote nothing shows up. One day I just mashed a bunch of buttons and it paired for some reason. now it lost connection and won't pair again, new batteries and reset firestick, still nothing.
This won’t work for me because it’s a brand new fire stick that hasn’t been set up yet. I just took it out of the box and I’m trying to pair my remote. I’ve tried every trick under the sun and nothing will work. I guess I need to buy a new remote.
That app is the problem that started causing me to have the remote issue. When switching back and forth between the two the remote started acting up. They need to fix that glitch
so frustrated it didn't work argghhhh I followed everything you did including installing the app get right to then end and nothing the remote still will not work :(
I was outlining my own personal issue; It's as a result of the remote pairing why the 'network lost' issue cannot be resolved. The remote will not pair, and hence reconnecting to the network is not possible. There's no work around to solve the network issue without a paired device. If the network connectivity wasn't lost, I could manually pair the remote by simply using the smartphone app. Essentially, without finding an ingenious way to solve either issue, I'm left with a paperweight.
Omar Davis ~ Hi Omar, did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours? Mine has the exact same problem, screen keeps saying lost connection and remote not working.
SMILEYMORE Other than the fact that it refused to pair and couldn't re-establish a network connection, no. There was nothing amazon could do either, save returning the item which wasn't an option. I found a breakthrough when I came across a Windows app I could use to navigate the stick (while the stick was powered through a USB port on my laptop). It allowed my to override the fire tv, and interface with it mouse-wise from the laptop, from here I could reconnect to my home network and then manually add the remote for pairing from the stick's settings menu. This solved all my issues, none since. The app is very very intrusive though, with a lot of adware.
My problem is my Fire TV stick has never been connected to my network. I just found it in a storage unit my friend bought. But the remote wasn't with it. So how can I make this app find it and connect it to my wifi? I can't, can I. I gotta buy the remote. Well, shit. That takes a wee bit of the luster off finding a free FireTV Stick if ya can't conjure up a free remote, slap a little Kodi on that bad boy and watch The Shape of Water with it, for the total investment of zero dollars. I mean, if I really wanted a FireTV Stick with the right remote, I'd go buy one. But, if one runs out in front of me, and I can shoot it and throw it in the trunk, why not? Oh, alright. I'll buy the damn thing. :-)
My firestick wont respond even after doing numerous youtube research until watching yours,my pains are over ,thanks a ton
Good man, I spent about 40 minutes this morning running through all the other pairing videos, none of them worked, this worked first time, many thanks
Works without the app. Just hold the home button down for 10 seconds and it connects. Thanks for your video!
Thanks this is the only one that actually worked
Excellent video. Worked wonderful for me and I have no knowledge on these things. THANK YOU! I definitively look for more of your videos. This is the first time I follow one of you videos. Great help.
This was the only thing that fixed my remote. Brilliant!!!
Excellent video. We now got the fire stick working again. Great!!!

Worked perfectly! Thank you so much! I was just about ready to order a new remote! You rock!

+Snowbird not sure to be honest never came across this before. Ill have a look and see if i can find anything
Thanks for your reply, I finally got it going, so no worries. Thanks for your video!

Thanks dude
It worked thank you.
Sir plz help me.. Its not working
I used the app to get to the pairing screen and when I hold the home button on my remote nothing shows up. One day I just mashed a bunch of buttons and it paired for some reason. now it lost connection and won't pair again, new batteries and reset firestick, still nothing.

Won't work if the stick has lost network connection too, need another fix
+Omar Davis if the stick has lost network connection that is a completely different issue all together, nothing to do with remote not working
