Remote Mouse and WuKong have both stopped working on my Fire TV. Reinstalled both apps on my phone and on the Fire TV and tried different phones, they just won't work.
The mouse cursor appears on the screen of the Fire TV but I can't click on anything, meaning I can no longer use Sky Go or BT Sports.
I don't know what happened to stop it working, they just stopped one day. I've upgraded my Fire TV to the developer preview 5.0.3 to see of that helps but it doesn't make a difference.
Help please anyone??? Thanks
If you are using firestarter go to its settings and disable adb home detection. Then reboot see if they work.

Not using Firestarter. Any other ideas?
Only to confirm that ADB is turned on. Also I believe current ADB rules are one session at a time. So if you meant you have both installed chose either remote mouse or Wukong not both

Is the one ADB session only present in 5.0.3 or do older, production versions have that rule too? As I had the issue before upgrading
Uninstalled WuKong, Remote Mouse and AGK Fire from my phone, uninstalled WuKong and Remote Mouse from Fire TV, rebooted both, changed the IP of the Fire TV, reinstalled just Remote Mouse on both devices and it's working now. Wonder what it's problem was...
ADB session limited in OS5 not earlier version.
Remote mouse is working on my OS5 AFTV2 and on my non-OS5 AFTV1. I have a total of four boxes just checked remote mouse on all of them. They are all working. It is slow on AFTV2, works great on non os5 AFTV1. Make sure remote mouse is v1.08 on the AFTV

Mine is doing the same did you manage to fix it?
Remote mouse and wukong is fighting for the adb session on fire os 5 it seems and I am sticking with wukong now though the mouse function is flaky in some apps

I had the same problem after rooting AFTVv1 5.0.5 with Kingroot. Unrooting and uninstalling Kingroot (from within the app's settings) fixed it.
Add to the list that AGK fire stopped working. I can no longer push files no matter what phone and version of android I use. I am just stuck. No way to update side loaded apps, install new ones, or use a remote on the xfinity app.

The solution was in post #2, and only using one adb connection at a time.
Latest Fire OS upgrade breaks mouse mode in WuKong
After the latest Fire OS upgrade Mouse node has stopped working on Fire Stick. TV Go also prompts to purchase Fire controller.
I had the same issue starting yesterday where I could only get the mouse to move but couldn't click or use the d-pad. Uninstalled and reinstalled Remote Mouse on both Fire Stick and phone. Works again.
i updated to 1.06 version of Mouse Toggle and it works again ... FireTV 2 on 5.2.1.0_r1
As @Ludacrisvp mentioned the recent 'Mouse Toggle' and 'Remote Mouse for Fire TV' app updates are compatible with the Fire TV 5.2.1.0 OS update. The apps must be updated to versions 1.06 and 1.16 respectively for compatibility. If you have any issues please send a email to the address in the app and I will help you out.
Note: If the apps 'Status' is stuck on 'starting' then it is very likely another app is unfortunately blocking the single ADB connection. The offending app would need to be uninstalled and 'ADB Debugging' toggled off and then on again.
Thank you!
Hi I am currently using a gen 2 fire TV and recently signed up to sky. I sideloaded the sky go app using the app from my note 4 and anytime I try to play something on my fire tv I get the HDMI not supported error. I saw the list of working apps thread and it said sky go does work but I always keep getting this error. Any way to solve this?? Maybe a previous version of the app can be uploaded? Any help would be great!
Most mobile apps from cable or satellite providers don't allow you to view over a wired connection. So, the first thing to try is disconnecting your Ethernet cable to the router and use WiFi only. The app should then recognize your Fire TV as a mobile device.

My fire tv is connected through wifi
i use this apk on my aftv2 (germany)
http://www.netzwelt.de/software-download/37855-sky-go-android-apk.html
Just googled: sky go for android tv
device is connected via lan and it is working, but u need a mouse (btw. it's more easy to navigate)
I've got 2 fire tv gen 1 models running the latest sky go app ( ver 5.0.4.9) downloaded from aptoide and both Fire TV's are connected by ethernet. Everything on sky go runs fine....except for sky news. That's where I get the HDMI not supported error as well, but as far as sky sports or sky movies or anything else on sky go, everything plays fine. I'm running the app with a wireless touchpad / keyboard ( logitech ) connected using a usb dongle.

Hi can someone please post a working sky go apk
Guys, just install Aptoide It's not a questionable website. It's an alternative to the Google app store and works well with the fire tv. Been using it for years.
Thanks Callanish I've tried a few versions but none work I've even transferred the app from my first generation fire tv using es file explorer to my 4k fire tv and i still get the Hdmi not supported message I'll try this later

Just guessing, but I wonder if it's an HDMI HDCP issue you're coming across due to the copyright protection handshake between the fire tv and your tv. I've got two fire TV 1st gen's running on two Sony TV's and 1 fire stick running on a Vizio bedroom tv and need to use a bluetooth keyboard / touchpad with the stick and usb wireless keyboard / touchpad for the Fire TV's in order to make skygo function properly since there's no official Fire TV version, but my only HDMI 'not supported' issue I consistently get with Skygo on the Fire TV boxes and stick is when trying to access Sky news. Every movie, sports, other channels available on Skygo work fine.....except for sky news, and like you, I get that HDMI not supported message when I try to stream it. Also using a proxy to make it all work, but I'm not experiencing a channel wide HDMI 'not supported message' in the app like you're coming across. 5.1.0.47 is the latest app version of Skygo. Hopefully it works for you or you figure out where the problem might be.
Tried this version Callanish same message hdmi not supported can't figure out what the hell the problem is I'm baffled how the hell is it working on my original fire tv set up exactly the same way but won't work on the 4k fire tv I'm totally stumped
I'm having to send it back now as i got a system update today and following the update i couldn't connect a bluetooth mouse the powerlight kept blinking or not appearing even when the fire tv was on and then the remote started going mental contacted amazon and they are sending a replacement tomorrow and added bonus I'm getting to keep the remote and they are giving me a £10 credit following the problems hopefully the new one is better
Hi Mollygeorge, how do I move files from my Amazon Fire TV stick to my new 2nd gen Amazon Fire TV?

So, basically what we can surmise from all this is that the Fire TV 2 boxes have aggressive HDCP copyright protection built in to prevent apps like Skygo from functioning. The options remaining, imho, are either A) purchase another Fire TV 1 box used or new if you can find one B) purchase a new Fire TV stick as it's still a version 1 device and I can vouch that it still works with Skygo 2 C) run one of the many Android boxes out there, sideload skygo and do some testing, or D) Do what I did and run a Intel Nuc; (a windows type box) or something similar, and hook it up to a usb Wireless keyboard and run skygo through a browser. That's what I use as a backup option. Yes, you could also use a computer connected with an hdmi cable to a tv, but the Intel NUC, for me, streamlines the process. Probably impractical for your needs, but just want to point out another option. The Point is, unless some other people on the forum chime in telling you that they've gotten skygo to work on the Fire TV 2, and how they've done it, then it might be time to throw in the towel on this one and think about some other options. You know Amazon and Sky are going to continue to make it harder to do what we want, so it might be better to just find a box, like the Fire TV 1 or Fire TV stick and at least get Skygo working again.
For the record, I've got my Fire Tv boxes and stick blocked for any future Amazon firmware updates. I'm thinking that Amazon could introduce an update that prevents the Fire TV 1 and Stick from working with Skygo as well, so better safe than sorry.
Thanks for the reply Callanish I'm thinking I'll just leave it as it is and wait for someone to say wether on not there's a solution for sky go on the 4k version all my other apps bt nbcsn directv play flawlessly and i can't be bothered sending it back again and setting another one up from scratch thanks for trying to help

Sorry. Wish I could have been more helpful.
sry for the 2 years late answer:
you need to set "auto" in display-settings - not 4k/1080pX0/720pX0
Hey!
I can't for the love of god be able to pair my Amazon FireTV Remote, Shield TV does not want to detect it while my macbook detects the remote without any problem.
I hold the "Home button" on the FireTV remote to put it in pairing mode, my macbook detects the fire remote without any problem and the shield never shows it while looking for bluetooth devices...
I tested my bluetooth speaker to see if shield's bluetooth was working and it detected the speaker without any problem, I don't understand why it never "sees" the firetv remote.. any ideias? plz halp!
Hello,
which Version do you like to pair? The Amazon Fire TV 1 or 2 remote? I have a Fire TV 2 Box and i was able to pair the remote with the Shield. The Version 2 is not bluetooth! You have to pair it as original Stuff.
Greetings
Can you use the Amazon Fire TV remote off/on button to turn off or make the Shield sleep?
Turn on does work with every key. But turn off you have to use the shutdown menu. But at this time i use a Logitech Remote + Hub + Flirc.

What do you mean by pair it as original stuff? I have a fire tv voice remote 2nd generation and can't seem to pair it with the shield.

I believe he (or she) means you need to pair it as a Shield accessory rather than as a bluetooth accessory.

Absolutely right. The remote 2nd generation is not a bluetooth. You have to pair it as original remote in the menu.

I have the first generation, it's bluetooth, but the shield doesn't detect it.

I had the same Problem. I own a Amazon Fire TV gen1 bluetooth voice remote and I can not connect it with my nvidia shield tv pro.
I hope this is not caused by the firmware update version 352.
Any hint out there? I can not find the ES File Explorer too.

I didn't have to do any pairing to make it works.
But for few days, voice research doesn't works anymore.

The Fire TV remote does not have such a button.

I have the Amazon Fire TV Gen 1 voice remote too and cannot pair it to my Nvidia Shield TV? It can't see it even though I've tried both ways to put the remote into discovery mode:
1) Hold HOME button for 5-10 seconds
2) Take batteries out and put them back in
I like this remote better because it has all the buttons I actually need to use. I think someone at Nvidia tried to make their remote too simple that it hurt its basic functionality.
Assuming the v1. Voice is anything like the v2 Voice...
You'll need to give it more like 20s! This is also true for the FireTV2 itself. 10s, just isnt nearly long enough.
i have the shield tv (2017) and the firetv4k remote

I have same issue, it shows Shield controller but then stops process
after the upgrade to nougat i had the same problem... pairing the amazon remote took forever and ended in a failure notice. try to pair the game controller first and than the fire tv remote. after pairing the game controler and orignal shield remote the amazon remote paired just fine.
Anyone found a solution? None of those solution works, amazon fire voice remote worked with my old tv shield, but it won't pair with 2017 model.
It dose show a picture of old shield tv game controller, after a while say faild.

Is it possible that this is a Android 7 Nougat bug with bluetooth? I found something similar with a short google query.
At common:
Perhaps there is a chance to use adb or another script to add bluetooth firetv remotes.
I found some adb cpommands but missed the importand ones: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41594707/adb-shell-bluetooth-commands
This is looking nice too and seems to have some code on github: http://www.londatiga.net/it/program...ally-pair-or-unpair-android-bluetooth-device/
We shoukd be able to find out the mac of the remote on a working FireTV-Device with adb enabled.
I am currently not at home to try it it out, can somebody try it?

2nd gen fire tv remote:
voice search was working perfectly till the last update. now it will start searching on button up and down so the results cant be shown because of the new search action
Gesendet von meinem ALE-L21 mit Tapatalk
i have tried a different remote, i tried pairing up... nothing!
Try using the android Fire TV app to move around. Go into controller settings and unpair the remotes you have there except the app then try to pair again.

I cannot to get the Sony DualShock 4 to work on the Fire TV Stick 4K. The pairing works but the Fire TV won't react to any input on the gamepad. The output from "logcat" repeatedly shows the following line until I disconnect the DualShock 4:
Code:
12-09 13:20:16.959 674 818 W bt_btif : bta_hh_co_data: Error: fd = 179, ready 0, len = 10
There are some reports of similar problems with the Galaxy S7 running on Android 7, which is the version that Amazon has used as base for their Fire OS. However, there seems to be no solution to fix the issue. There is probably not much that I can do except hoping that Amazon will fix the issue with an update. Did someone manage to get the DualShock 4 to work with the Fire TV Stick 4K?
Some additional information after testing DualShock 3 (CECHZC1U), DualShock 4 (CUH-ZCT1E) and DualShock 4 (CUH-ZCT2E): non of these gamepads can be used with the Fire TV Stick 4K.
CECHZC1U: unsupported Bluetooth protocol, root access would be required
CUH-ZCT1E: pairing works, gamepad not working (errors in "logcat" as shown above)
CUH-ZCT2E: pairing works, gampead works fine for about half a minute but starts to lag afterwards
All tested gamepads are working fine on my tablet with Lineage OS 14.1, therefore this is an Amazon issue, not a general Android issue.

I am running a Poco but we have a similar problem. While I have a CUH-ZCT1E, I did actually get to work at some point but can't reproduce lol.
I use an 8Bitdo adapter. Works perfect. You just need an USB OTG-cable or any other way to get USB devices work with your Fire TV Stick.

Hi thanks for mentioning that .... can you confirm what device you using and what controller is it fire stick 4k ? and what the latency like is there a delay using gaming emulator like retro or happy chick
thanks so much in advance am waiting your confirm to buy it :angel:
You need the newer ps4 controllers. Both my old ones dont work. New ps4 controller model, for example the limited edition PS4 controller, the clear one works
I've got a CUH-ZCT2E Sony Dual Shock 4 controller and like OP posted it pairs Fire 4k UHD Stick, but it ends there - I can't seem to use it at all, not even initially.
@MrHomebrew How do why know a newer from older PS4 controller? How can I diagnose this in more detail?
Has there been any solution to this?
I've the exact same issue. The Dual Shock 4, bought today(CUH-ZCT2E) will connect and pair successfully to the Fire TV 4k but any input results in no effect and I have to use the remote to navigate.
I've the latest OS updated on the Fire TV 4k unit.
Also, reset PS4 controller prior to pairing, ran PS+Share prior to clicking pair on the fire tv etc. but no luck : (
Have also tried ES File Explorer trick to try and get it to connect, showed the Wireless controller when scanned with BT but could not connect, again reset PS4 controller prior to pairing attempt etc. etc.
If anyone has found a way to connect their PS4/DualShock 4 controller to the Fire TV 4k unit please any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: nevermind I just got tired of unsuccessfully trying numerous suggested solutions.... went ahead and bought an Xbox One controller instead. Works flawlessly on fire tv 4k.
