Hi Forumers,
I've just bought the t800.
After a couple of days I've tried to use the bluetooth and oddly it cant find anything.
I've made sure I've got a few bluetooth items on in the room, and my phone and laptop can find them but my Tablet cant.
But, my phone was able to find the tablet and the two paired that way.
But since my tablet cant find my bluetooth speaker, its a tad rubbish..
Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks in advance
I have a Bluetooth speaker and sometimes I have to restart the speaker or forget the speaker in order to connect to it.I would suggest (on your tab s) going into the bluetooth setting and check, make device visable to other devices. Hope this helps.

okey dokey,
So Ive restarted my speaker, laptop phone and stereo bluetooth receiver, and nothing is showing to the tablet, so it seems not to be that.
the tablet is visible to my phone, so that part works.
but my tablet cant see anything.
Plan B?

Might try a factory reset. Right after I bought my T800 the wifi greyed out and refused to work. Did a reset and all was fine again.
Argh, I had just spent hours installing stuff.. but seems it may be the only answer!
Bu99er! :-/
Should I do anything special before a hard reset?

I wouldn't, but I never keep anything on my tablet of importance.
I brought the tablet to work so I could sort it out in work hours.
I was in the process of hitting the reset button and paused, and decided to try once more..
and now it works.
not sure what happened over night to make it work.. odd!?

T805 Bluetooth not works
Hi to all
I bouth some days ago a tab s 10.5 and in the first days the bluetooth works, but now I cannot activate.
I have already done a factory reset but nothing happened, so it does not works.
can anyone help me?tab is rooted
thanks

Like it says up top, but it's relatively new. Of course I tried new batteries. I had been using the originals from when I bought it in late March. All I was doing was syncing mysql to the stick and I needed a mouse to move some stuff around in ES file explorer (got side tracked actually and installed task manager to clear the cache) so I installed WuKong remote. It was then I noticed some serious lag--takes about 10 seconds or less on fire tv console to clear cache. This took about a minute at least then it just froze in the app, couldn't press home. Tried 3 sets of new batteries but nothing worked.
BTW--this new faster screen timeout on aftv is all the more annoying when you're trying to do something like update a library because if I leave for a couple of minutes I need to reboot since neither Yatse nor wukong were able to wake up the display BUT you can still hear the clicks.
I don't mean to go on but something tells me this is more than just a remote control issue. I thought if anyone had a similar experience they might be of some help. Thanks.
Did you try to pair the remote again? Press the home button for 5-10 seconds after powerup.

Yes. A few times with different batteries, but it just won't pair. I might try a factory reset. If I had to pin point it it would've died when i first started using wukong app. I've used that on other devices with no issues but that's the only thing i did differently last night. I'll probably do a factory reset and if that don't work call amazon.
You could try the Android phone remote app for calling the pairing function from menu. Probably this does the trick.

And had I caught your post a bit earlier...I may have lol.
I still have no idea the root cause but a factory reset did the trick. The remote responded immediately (actually a lot faster then when i wipe my rooted atvs.) I wonder if the wukong remote somehow highjacked it?) Just remember the reason i installed it was to be able to mouse click "show hidden" on ES file explorer. The stupid part is I now know there's another way to accomplish this without a mouse by going into the app's settings. No big deal. Thanks for the help!
This has happened to me thrice in one week. This on a rooted FTV, not stick. Three times, the remote just died. Changed batteries, but no joy. The first time, a simple reboot fixed it. The second time, I had to use the FTV app on my iPhone to un-pair and re-pair it. The third time, the reboot did the trick. Not sure what happened. Since then (around a month back), no issues. No change in firmware/apps/any sort of configuration on FTV (or any new devices in the house) before the problem or after the problem. The problem came for a week and then simply went away.
I don't have the Wukong app installed. I have one another FTV in my bedroom and made sure that the problem remote did not somehow got paired to it, and it wasn't. I need to read up on BT interference, that seems to be my wild and ignorant guess. Or some hardware within the remote is going bad... But, I am not sure about that reason, the remote is used everyday and works fine since the mishap.
Today while watching a video via my AFTV, the whole thing just locked up on me. Had to remove the power cord to reboot it. After it rebooted I noticed that my controller wasn't doing anything, and the same with my amazon game controller. But my logitech K400 worked. So I go to settings because I know for a fact the batteries aren't bad. Put in some new one on the remote first thing and you can see the led light up on the controller. Anyways, in Settings it said my controllers were paired, but said Battery, like the batterys were dead. So I used my keyboard to unpair my gamepad. Then I had no problem pairing it up and controlling stuff, so I did the same with my remote and boom, now it works.
tl;dr Check settings, if it says just Battery on the controller, unpair it, and then pair it again.
Can some one help my fire stick controller it's working correctly it goes up & down but it won't go on the mouse bit to click on the show box films I want to watch I'm new to all this technology stuff lol
fire sitck dead
I had my firestick for a week and used it, maybe four times. Went to use it again and it would not come on, no LED light, nothing. I changed the batteries, several sets of new ones. Nothing. I am not a tech guru, so if you have some ideas for me, dumb them down.
Oh, and I tried the new batteries in another remote and they work fine.
Had the same problem too... I had to hold down the Home button while being 4inches away from the receiver before it synced
i've had no luck with my firestick remote, i connected the firestick to my tv but the firestick remote won't sync with the firestick so now i'm stuck at the first screen, i've tried changing the batteries for new ones, cleaning the remote's battery contacts, plugging and unplugging the firestick from the tv and the electrical outlet. I've also plugged the firestick to a brand new tv and still can't find the remote. I've remove the batteries for 2 hours and tried again to sync it to the firestick and no luck. rebooted my router several times, put the remote next to the firestick to see it would sync and still no luck, changed hdmi ports and nothing, went to a friend's house and not working there either. called amazon to be sent a replacement firestick and remote, they sent both and still the same problem. I would like to factory reset the firestick but i don't know how since i can't use the phone app or the remote. I'm at the very first screen where it asks you to press the home button so it can find the remote. btw, i've also did the hold 3 button remote reset and didnt work either. i have the firestick with voice first generation, i had kodi installed so i don't know if that means it was rooted or not.... Any suggestions on what else i can do to pair it would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR firestick with voice remote won't sync no matter what and need help with syncing.
If you are still having this trouble it is because your firestick does not recognize that the tv is on. It's doing that because it is plugged into the wall. If you unplug the USB part of the plug from the wall and plug it into your USB slot on your tv it will solve the problem. Switched mine over and it hasn't happened since.

That makes absolutely no sense at all.
@nachumama So you have a new FireTV Stick and a new remote and it still doesn't work? Two separate sets of stick+remote and none of them works on your TV or the one at your friend's house? That's not good.
FireStick remote not working properly
My Firesticktv remote was working very slowly. I would hit a button on the remote and nothing would happen for about 30 seconds. I changed the batteries(no change). I fixed it by going to Settings- Network- whatever network it says you are connected to. hit the Forget this network, Then connect to the next network on your router. It was my 2.4GHz channel. For some reason my channel was changed and was on my 5GHz channel, It didn't work on the 5GHz channel. The remote works like new again
my firestick is not working tried very thing that other people has tried what to do next
Fire Tv Stick remote suddenly stopped working issue or Amazon Fire Stick not working issue usualy occured due to Inadequate Power Supply, Damage Fire Stick’s remote batteries, Outdated Software, Corrupted Fire Stick Cache, and Overheating of Fire Stick devices.
However, there is some workaround solutions available on the web 'https://techsmagic.com/how-to-fix-amazon-fire-stick-not-working-after-update-reset' page detailing it. Here is the solution:
Method 1: Restart your Fire Stick
Method 2: Check your Internet Connection
Method 3: Update FireStick Software
Method 4: Clear the Fire Stick Cache
Method 5: Reset your Fire Stick to Factory Settings
If you have some other and better solutions to fix this issue, must share with me. Thanks

I noticed pairing the remote is a little crappy. I would need to hold it down for a long time, then eventually it would continue.

No. You can reset all day long if you want. I just did one yesterday. And it was a little frustrating getting the remote to sync. I really wish I could figure out a way to make it able to bypass that, since I just use a keyboard.

Phew. That's let me relax a little then. First time rooting properly and enjoying myself up until now haha.
That would be a great bypass. The FTV2 remote is a little crappy compared to 1st gen remote. The buttons feel horrible.
jeez that was a pain. taken me over 12 hours to get this thing to pair back, and i think it finally just happened by chance
for anyone else having this issue, just persevere it will finally pair

Right ok just checked and it seems I'm not on the latest. How do I go about updating considering I have no way of using the keyboard to install from sd card
Sorry for the probable annoying noob questions. Just trying to learn
Never mind. I figured it out via your thread rbox. Apologies for the noob moves. Such a big forum I get lost with pages lol
Thanks for the help
Anyone found a way/hack to have the Firetv2 remote connect without having any internet connection just like the old gen remote?
Thanks
I'm stuck on this issue with the Fire Stick 2 (tank)! Help please!
cannot pair the remote at all
Balls how do I delete this realised wrong forum.
Hi I was wondering if anyone can help or perhaps point me to somewhere that can.
My friend had a sluggish fire TV stick and I told him to factory reset it. I wasn't watching him do it but I walked in as it rebooted. The Fire logo came on the screen and then it went blank.
Now we've tried it on several different TVs with several different power adaptors with no joy. Is there anyway I could connect it to a PC and reset it that way?
I've gone through Amazon's suggestions with no joy.

My Firestick is 100% stock. The other day it froze. I tried to reset with remote and nothing happened and after unplugging and plugging back in it came back unable to connect to WiFi or any remotes.
Amazon has been less than helpful wasting an hour of my time trying to reset and pair the remotes. The final icing was when they offered to sell me a new one at 20% off (my device is 1 yr old)
It loads up the home screen titles, then after awhile it says unable to connect to network. From there it goes into a screen saver but has no images.
It looks like everything essentially got turned off including ADB.
Am I pretty much SOL? All I think it needs is a factory reset but seems there is no way to do that without a remote?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Is this the only remote you have to try ? Or do you have any other fire devices with remotes you can try ?
First of all I'd try unplugging the power half way through the boot, try it a couple of times to try envoke the optimising screen, this happened to one of mine before and the remote paired after I got the optimising screen up, think I unplugged power 2 or 3 times for this to happen. Failing that you could try pairing the remote with an android device, while your firestick is off then unplug batteries and power up your firestick replace batteries and try again holding the home button for 30 seconds, I know it says 10 seconds but that never worked for me.

I have tried 3 different remotes. Have not tried the resetting during boot. Should I do it during the amazon logo or the firestick logo?

I'd do it with the fire stick logo, well that's when I did it, if after a few times it don't go to the optimising screen it can't hurt to do it on the Amazon logo. Let me know if you have any luck.

Well it went through the system optimization but still no luck connecting to WiFi or a remote. Thanks for the suggestion though, better than anything Amazon has offered. Just kills me that there is no mechanical way to factory reset the stick (something similar to the optimization trick).

Ah ok, if you are 100 percent sure you have ADB switched off then I'm afraid there is nothing you can do as far as I'm aware.
If you had ADB switched on then enabling otg and using usb hub you could of plugged a keyboard in and navigated with that into settings and returned it to factory settings.
I fixed this problem by going on my Samsung TV settings and enable anynet+ (hdmi-cec). This allows you to use your TV remote instead of amazon remote. Then all good got back online and so on. Already happened twice and its very frustrating don't know what to do. See if you TV got something like that, which allows you to use its remote. Good luck
