Any idea why only one of them has the new UI? The one with the new UI, has been great and then updated for about a month or two.

Not liking this so far, it was perfectly simple before but now the buttons are all in random places, looks a mess.

The other big thing is I can't find out how to re-organize the apps at the bottom to a order I want, does anyone know how?

The price of the cube a few weeks ago was £149 however it dropped to £109 in the recent Prime Day deals. It’s now shot up £50 (33.36%) which is completely ridiculous!

Was installing the new version and now you get a license emailed to you after ordering. I think the play store also gives one, but ordered mine here

https://premium.projectivylauncher.com/

Weird thing is I can't find the premium option on the base site projectivylauncher.com without Googling it. Maybe it's my adblocking DNS?

Did mine last night and finally premium on fire cube.

I have Firestick 4k and used voice button for the longest time. But it hasn't shown in search for the last 2 days. Not sure if it's Smart Tube or Amazon? Tia

Got my first fireTV, omni qled, and while I love the TV for it's sideloading, I'm just so used to volume controls being on the side of the remote, which I greatly preferred. I've looked for a replacement with it, but I can't find one.

Does anyone know of one?

I had did a power cycle earlier today because it was being very slow and now it's stuck in a boot loop.

I've tried leaving it off for 15 minutes.

Tried going into recovery and deleting the cache

Also tried factory reset.

I believe it's still under warranty but thought maybe I've missed something? Only thing I don't think I've tried is booting from USB and flashing the firmware but I think I would rather Amazon support give the approval because I think that voids warranty?

I've always found Fire TV Sticks a bit sluggish, so I spent some time figuring out how to clean mine up using Linux and ADB.

I put together a small toolkit with scripts for debloating and optimising the device, along with a restore script in case you want to undo the changes.

I also included an AI prompt you can use with Claude, Antigravity, or ChatGPT to walk you through the process. The idea is to make it easier to understand what you're changing instead of having to figure out every ADB command yourself.

You don't need root for the basic workflow, and the goal is to keep the changes reversible. Just make sure you review what the AI suggests before running anything, since package compatibility can vary between Fire TV models and Fire OS versions.

Everything is here: https://github.com/roy9611/firetv-safe-debloat

Hopefully this saves someone else a bit of time. If you try it, let me know which Fire TV model and Fire OS version you're using, and whether you run into any issues.

I recently went from Roku to Fire stick Max. I mostly did this for Geforcenow.

I'm now interested in the Firetv Cube.

Before I buy, I'm wondering if the Cube has Geforcenow. I know it has Xbox.

I'm not sure I'm getting updated info that it's not available. It's available on the Max stick. Why not the Cube? I thought it was more powerful.

Thank you

Hello. After my Insignia Fire TV updated to 8.1.8 5.

Amazon changed how the remote works and I can no longer access this menu.

Tapping the menu button "≡" no longer does anything on any HDMI input. I used to be able to access the old menu with that button. On any HDMI input it does nothing.

Holding down the Home button does not display an "Inputs" option on this screen any longer.

On my FiOS remote, however, it has an Input button on the top and can still access this menu to switch between them by repeatedly tapping the input button as opposed the the old update where I could tap the menu button labeled "≡" on my remote then select a specific input rather than repeatedly tapping it.

Now the only way to switch them on the fly is by tapping the recents button which brings up a large UI menu which can be slow at times to change inputs.

Does anyone else experience this after the update. Is there a Fire TV remote with a dedicated input button. I'd rather switch inputs quickly without needing to switch remotes, using voice input or going to the home screen the pressing the "≡" which now only works on the app screen to change inputs that way.

Pictured is the new settings menu missing the Inputs option at the top. (Left)

Second one pictured is the old menu invoked by pressing the input button on my FiOS remote but no longer accessible with the Fire TV remote. (Right)

Any advice? Or is there a way to access the old menu with the same remote? Thank you.

After a firestick update today, my voice search within all apps defaults to Alexa instead of searching inside of the app itself, it’s on all 3 of my firesticks they are all on the latest os v 8.1.85, I tried a couple fixes from an earlier post and none of them worked, it is not a remote control issue, I paired a spare remote to one of my devices with new batteries and it had the same problem, if you know a fix, please help, I think it’s not going to be fixed until a new update comes out!

I've reset the TV multiple times it has this problem mostly in HBO its so distracting trying to watch with the banner in the way

Video of problem in the comments

My hdmi ports just don’t work and I don’t know why.

My hdmi 3 only gets detected and even then I connect my ps3 and even tried ps5 to hdmi 3 it shows up but then goes black screen for like 7 seconds maybe 10 then just poof “no signal detected” then I switch HDMI cords I tried like 4 cords nothing worked, so then I tried HDMI 1 and 2 and they don’t even get detected even with new HDMI cords, I tried changing the Hdmi settings to 2.0 and 1.4 and all that bs hell I even factory test my tv like three times still gets the same results, is it just busted?

Hi, I'm looking to clean up my fire tv using adb as it's a cheap model from a few years ago and is getting very slow and laggy now. Could anyone give me a list of what system apps are safe to disable/what would help speed the TV up? Not looking to change from the fire tv launcher as everyone is used to it now but I'm looking to reduce background processes.

Hey guys, so I want to buy some very risque things on amazon but I am deeply paranoid of my family somehow seeing my purchase history on the family TV, since it has my account registered there, is there any way to potentially block/make sure my amazon purchasing history does not show up on the TV without unlinking the device?

Just curious, I have an original ( 2022) 55" Fire tv Omni, still works like new but am still waiting for the new O/S upgrade, anyone else with older stuff still waiting or have you been updated?

Cheers.

The previous owner of our house left his ridiculous 75" Toshiba Fire TV above the fireplace. We don't want it but we don't have the time/energy to bother taking it down now so we figured we might as well watch something on it.

But turning on the TV brings me to set up and it gets stuck on 'Searching for your remote'. Pressing the home button like prompted does nothing. The remote obviously works because it let's me power on the tv, choose english as a language, and can raise and lower volume just fine; it just won't pair. I've tried searching for a fix but everything I've found just involves unplugging/power cycling the tv, 'resetting' the remote by holding 3 buttons, and none of it has worked. Using my phone as a remote temporarily does not work because the TV is not connected to our network, because I can't get to the network settings without pairing a remote.

Has anyone else run into this and how did you fix it?

I've had a TCL 32SF540K FireTV for nearly 2 years now, and it' laggy, slow, and the worst of all full of ads. I've seen some debloating tools for Android TVs about, and wanted to know if anyone has tried any FireTV ones.

I saw this one which seens to install Projectivy Launcher along with removing some amazong feautres:
https://github.com/niftiest/Firestick-Cleaner-And-Launcher-Replacer

Has anyone tried something like this or the Projectivy Launcher, if so has it worked or made things worse?

Why does Peacock not work when trying to watch live sports? It always flickers and there’s no way to make it not. 65” QLED Fire TV.

Anyone else or answers?

has anyone had this? I have a brand new toshiba fire tv, I have made sure im on the latest update, ive cleared cache, uninstalled, reinstalled the app a dozen times, unplugged my tv and plugged it back in, and still im getting this error on newer episodes of survivor and amazing race. tulsa king works just fine. my isp does not have an ad blocker of any kind. Very frustrated as we bought this tv to watch these shows as a family.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello everyone! I just unboxed and set up an old fireTV stick 3rd gen and wanted to know id there is anything I could do with it other then streaming? Or any tips/advice while using it

Is there a short code to download Protube so you can sideload on the fire tv stick?

Just bought a Toshiba ArtTV running FireOS 14. I have a bunch of movies bought on Vudu which don't port to Movies Anywhere, so I have to watch on the Fandango at Home app. Everything I own only comes up available to stream in SD only even though it shows I own it in HD or 4K. After a search, I've cleared app cache and data and even reinstalled the app. Any other suggestions? I'd hate to send back a perfectly good TV for one app, but I only have 30 days. And, before someone asks, another streaming device is not an option. It would basically brick the art function.

Google is being no help so I’m here lol

I recently got a new fire stick, logged in to all my things but wanted to use spotify today. Upon opening the app, I was met with how to connect my phone to my tv to listen to music rather than being given the option to log in to my account.

Any old fire stick I’ve used has let me log in, and no amount of googling has solved the problem :/ I’m having to control my music through my phone while it plays through the TV

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but got met with the same message

If anyone has any idea how to fix this it would be greatly appreciate!
