I'm having some problems with my fire tv 2. It is rooted and on the latest rom found in this forum. The problem is with my unrooted fire tv 1, whenever I need to turn it on I can just press the remote and it will power on. With this new fire tv, pressing the buttons will not turn it on and when I turn on the tv and try it, it won't turn on as well. Only a small chance that sometimes hitting the button would turn it on. The only way that I usually turn it on is through unplugging and replugging the power cord. Is this a common issue and is there a fix? Thanks.

Hi does anybody know how to use the tv out cable with screen turned off?
Because when i watch videos i don't need the screen on my device only the screen on my tv but when i press the power button so the screen will shut off the connection with the tv goes down. Any ideas ?
It seems that when the screen is off, you loose the TV out. (I tried just turning off the screen without sleeping the device). The only suggestion I can think of is finding a way of turning off (or down) the backlight - this will save just as much power as turning off display.
I was just able to get what seems to be the last fire tv in amazons surplus through their prime now app. I set it up everything went fine then I clicked to update it and it did the normal update process until I looked up and saw a black screen. I unplugged the unit and replugged it and now all I get is amazon logo then black screen. Is there anyway to fix this I was really excited about having the last fire tv. Something I just discovered is that I can still connect wirelessly to the unit via adb.. I just restarted it. I dunno if this can help anything.

To fix the black screen/blank screen, we use the following steps to troubleshoot it:\
Your FireTV went to sleep and you just need to wake it up. You can wake up your FireTV by pressing the “Back” button on the remote.
Try the Fire TV Remote Shortcuts to see if one of them will wake up your Fire TV.
On the [easyazon_link identifier=”B00NO8JJZW” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]Fire TV Remote[/easyazon_link], hold the REVERSE (or “rewind”) button and the UP button at the same time for 10 seconds. Your FireTV should start switching through the different video display modes (or resolutions). You can expect the light on your TV to change colors and/or blink. When it switches to a display resolution that works, press the SELECT button to select that mode. This will fix your display issue if your fireTV happens to be set to a video resolution not supported by the TV you have it plugged into.
Your FireTV needs to be reset to the factory default settings. To do this, press BACK and REVERSE and RIGHT and SELECT to get your FireTV to prompt you to do a factory reset.
Your FireTV is deceased. If you tried #1 and #2 above, perhaps your Firestick has perished.
You could be forcing a screen resolution such as [easyazon_link identifier=”B00V0923TG” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]1080p[/easyazon_link] 60Hz. Try changing the display settings back to Auto, No Scaling (by hooking the FireTV to a [easyazon_link identifier=”B01CF3L3RS” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]TV[/easyazon_link] that it’s known to work on).
Press SELECT & PLAY (Hold the buttons down for 5 or 10 Seconds) to restart your FireTV / firestick.
I hope it will help you out.
I have a weird issue with my new Harmony Hub remote and the Fire Stick. If the Stick is awake, the Harmony Hub can run the "Watch Fire Stick" activity flawlessly.
However, if the Stick is asleep, I get a black screen. Everything switches properly but the Stick doesn't wake up. It also becomes unresponsive to the Stick's remote. If I hold down the Up and Reverse buttons, I can force it into the resolution search mode. These modes seem to get the Stick to work. The only other way I've found to get the Stick to respond is to unplug it and plug it back in.
Any ideas on what could be the issue?
I always turn off power to all devices including the TV after using but on the Fire TV 2, the only option is to put it to sleep so I'm wondering is there a way to power it off completely or is it safe to put it to sleep and just unplug the power adapter?

The sleep mode seems to basically be a black screensaver. The only true on/off is power/no power. And other whe flashing or saving something. There is no bad time to unpowering it.
Its an Android device. They sleep.
I always pull the plug.

You can use TV usb port as fire tv's power source and when TV turned off, it's off too but it's going take time to boot when you turn on TV.
Can Amazon fire tv stick 4k automatically change input when is waken up from sleep and how to set this?
If pressing the home key doesnt do it already I doubt it. My tank and tv combo does it if I turn the tv on with home button on remote. Goes right to the launcher no matter what input I turn it off at. I think its mostly whether your tv can do it or not.
Oh yeah, make sure CEC is enabled on tv and fire stick.
Earlier when i have gaming console, my tv automatically change input when console is turn off and on.
Why now this dont work?
