I'll buy my gf an Apple TV and move on with life. The channel is easily accessible through the Roku Channel Store and Amazon Appstore. Amazon QA on software updates is also total shit. Available free to Roku and Amazon Fire TV users, fans can enjoy a vast supply of movies. Amazon Prime members get unlimited access to thousands of movies and TV episodes on Prime Video, as well as ad-free listening to millions of songs with Prime Music - no extra apps to download and no cable subscription required. What a total piece of shit streaming stick. The device (Fire TV with Alexa remote, NOT the 4K version) lasted exactly 11 months and 2 days before a software update bricked it. No wonder Bezos is so rich he can fly into space. Instead, they offered me 15% off buying a new one.
This thing is barely a year old and already dead?Īnyway, have any of you geniuses on Reddit figured out how to fix this boot loop other than to throw it in the trash and buy a real streaming box?ĮDIT: I talked with Amazon support again and after doing troubleshooting they said it was stuck with a "Pending software installation" and would NOT replace it. I called Amazon this morning and after doing the exact same troubleshooting I did all they could say was I could trade it in for a new Fire TV Stick. I tried using a different TV, different USB cable, different power plug and it doesn't seem to make any difference. If you need to install or side load Apps on Android TV & Amazon Fire TV devices without using the OEM app stores for example checking pre-launch apps or beta versions on devices. Searching Reddit and the internet this seems to be a common issue with Fire TV sticks. It displays the Fire TV logo, then a circle like something is happening, then the screen goes dark, followed by the Fire TV logo.repeat ad nauseum. Yesterday I turned on one of the sticks/tv and the stick seems to be stuck in a boot loop. My girlfriend currently has 2 Fire TV sticks that she has used for just about a year.
