Cannot download/install WWE apk on my AFT saying unavailable (geolock I guess)
My AFT/Amazon account is aware I am Not is the USA even tho I do run via DNS.
In my Amazon.com account the AFT is there with a red X next to device so they are
on to me, but Netflix works 100%.as did Prime 30 day.
The Amazon App store app is android but needs GPS location no good
I tried another WWE.apk from here but mentions not my app not going to run.
Do I fudge the system again with a new email and reset the box.
Will root resolve this issue.
I feel it is more to do with how i registered the box.
Thanks

Was there a recent update to netflix on the FireTV? All of a sudden, whenever the next video is autoplayed in a tv series, the video stays shrunken in the top left corner of the screen. The only way to get it to go back is to exit netflix and reopen. If it tries to autoplay another though, it does it again. Like I said, recent problem. Last day or so.
Note this is happening on both a FireTV and a FireTV Stick. That's why I thought it might have been an app problem.

Wow! Well I'm glad I'm not alone. It happened to me for the first time earlier tonite.
Last nite I put playstore on this aftv and the install involved uninstalling/reinstalling a few times due to white space issues on Google apps and the playstore version needed to be updated. A couple of times I lost internet connectivity-had to unplug & replug the ethernet. But I got playstore working.
Probably more info than you needed but I'm glad it looks like a bug and not something I brought on...No. it's possible, but I'm unaware of a Netflix update though one is needed on aftv. It's not just me complaining about the "unable to play video" errors.
This box is hands down the best hardware I own out of all my streamers, but fire os seems to make it the least stable and that includes the original Sony Google TV.
Btw--since rebooting I haven't seen the tiny screen.
+1 on this problem. Clearing cache and/or rebooting fixes temporarily. Can't find any settings on Netflix.com or in the FireTV Netflix app that change the behavior. Anyone else have an idea?
Tiny screen doesnt happen unless it autoplays. Stopping and starting manually seems to avoid the problem.
Agreed, the workaround is to disable autoplay on the Netflix website.

I agree this works for adult profiles, but there doesn't seem to be an option to disable it on a Kids profile because you don't have the same settings menu when logged into that profile. Maybe I'm missing it.
Same issue on mine with whatever version of the netflix app that comes with the prerooted 51.1.4.1_514013920 rom. Is this happening on the newer software version as well?
And of course it's occurring in the kids profile which causes a lot of "Daddy can you come fix the TV?" requests.
I didn't even know you could turn off autoplay in the settings on the website until just now.
Another question would be if any one has seen the same issue in the android version of Netflix as opposed to the Fire TV version.

So I talked with Netflix support today and they said there was no way they could turn off autoplay on a kids profile, but they would submit it as a feature request.

Did you happen to talk to them about the small screen bug? I personally like the autoplay feature better. Wouldn't be bad to have the option though.
I did. They were unaware of the issue. I told them that turning off Autoplay fixes it but that there was no way to change that for a kids profile. So if they didn't know about it before, they do now.
I'm still wondering if anyone is having this problem on the newer rom version or if it's just the latest prerooted rom.

I can answer that. Neither of my machines are rooted and both are on the latest software.
Disabling autoplay In kids profile
I was able to disable autoplay in a Kids profile from the website.
Step 1: Login to Netflix master account
Step 2: Select "Manage Profiles" from drop down menu on top right
Step 3: Edit the Kids account, then uncheck "Kids 12 & Under" and select "Done"
Step 4: Switch to the Kids profile by selecting it from the drop down on the right
Step 5: Select "Your Account" from the drop down on the right
Step 6: Select "Playback Settings" under the "My Profile" Section
Step 7: Uncheck "Play next episode automatically" and then "Save"
Step 8: Select Manage profiles again from the drop down on the right
Step 9: Edit the kids profile and check "Kids 12 & Under" again and then select "Done"
Step 10: Switch back to Master profile, log out and test.
It's a lot of steps, but it works. Did this on mine and the kids profile kept the no autoplay setting.
No more video in a little box in the corner so far
Anyone find a fix for this problem? When I turn on autoplay I still run into this problem....
After a recent update that almost bricked my 2nd gen box i was able to factory reset and go back to normal. Before my box had an issue i had some smart dns addresses set up on a wired connection. i am able to set these up on wireless after the factory reset but when doing on wired the changes aren't registering. Also i have noticed that there isn't the option to press the menu button to forget the wired network and start again from scratch (and presumably be able to set up the DNS addresses within the setup). My 3rd gen box gives the option of using the menu button to forget the network.
Hope someone can help me solve this annoying issue!
Just noticed your post.
I posted this today https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/fire-tv-gen-1-change-settings-ethernet-t3847115
So pretty much the same issue on a gen 1 unit.
So you even found after a factory reset, you couldn't make changes to the settings?
Have Amazon screwed up the software?
No idea where you could report it....

Did you try a factory reset?
I am reluctant to do this as it means blowing away quite a lot of setup and the earlier poster suggested that a reset did not fix the issue anyway.
Interested to know if you did a reset?
EDIT: By the way - try and put a post on this forum: https://www.amazonforum.com/forums/devices/fire-tv
I cant quite work out if it is a forum that is used for official problems - but at least its amazon. Might be good to get a few more complaints on there.

I did it twice so far, but without any result
Moreover I am in a strange situation:
I bought the AFTV when I was living in germany, at the time the service was not present i my country (Italy)
later Prime video service was started and I was able to cast videos from Fire to FTV
later AFTV stick entered my counrty, but not AFTV
So in this moment I am a Prime Video subscriber, with a AFTV device with an Italian fiormware (probably developed for the stick), but I can only see videos on my smartphone or tablet. The cast begins but immediately ends.
This situation in addition to net settings is very recent.
I don't know that they have anything specific in the software (OS) that varies depending on the country.
It might be worth having a look at your settings on the Fire TV stick and then review your amazon account settings.
You may have a mismatch somewhere.

Hi there, how did you get your box back to normal?
My box wont boot and I assume the update is to blame for this. I get stuck on a "Amazon Recovery <3e>" screen. Similar in your case?
Thank you for your reply!

the factory reset put the box back to normal. `My issue now is about putting in smart dns settings which arent being saved
I also have this problem with a Fire TV 1 and 2. I can add a wireless connection manually and for this connection I can use a static IP-address and DNS-server. But no luck with wired network on both devices. Fun Fact: My Fire TV 1 already has a static connection, but I can't update the IP-address. Both devices have software version 5.2.6.6.
I already had contact with the Amazon support repeatedly, but they basically told me to go **** myself, especially after I told them I wanted to add my own DNS-Server. They think I want to use other countries' Prime Video.

I sent Amazon Support the link to this thread. At least now they did reply to me, saying that they will look into the problem. Maybe one of the next updates will already solve this bug.
It does not really matter what the DNS settings are for - It is just a fact that sometimes they will need to be altered and now cannot be.
The wifi connections can be changed but the wired network is effectively frozen.
I am sure its just a small glitch in the code - Really hope it can be fixed.
Generally the Fire TV has been an excellent product for me.
Same problem here. Can't change or forget a wired connection. Im on Fire OS 5.2.6.7
Same for me as well on the FireTV 1, have finally updated to the latest rooted OS version and now cannot change the DNS settings on the wired connection!
Have had to revert to the WiFi connection instead for now so hopefully this gets fixed in the next release...
Just received Version 5.2.6.8 (Build 630508320) yesterday.
After installing I tried to "forget" the Ethernet connection.
It looked like it had worked - there was no connection showing - which I think is different to before - I seem to recall when you 'forgot' it would just re-appear.
I added a new ethernet connection and entered all the details I wanted - Fixed IP address and DNS servers - clicked save and it all looked ok.
Went into the About device bit which lets you check the network details etc.
IP address and DNS server details were the old details that I had 'Forgotten' - So sad to say its still knackered.
Good job Amazon!

I've just installed Version 5.2.6.8 (Build 630508620) on my Fire TV 2 and editing the network settings works now.
If you select "Update Networkconfiguration", on the right side of the screen it shows your configuration from before the update. But if you edit your network again, you will see, that the Fire TV remembered your settings.
To see your new configuration on the About-Page you have to reboot your Fire TV.
Thanks Ph4te89 - You are right!
Maybe a bit of sloppy code somewhere in there - but it does eventually decide to show the settings I saved and is presumably using them again.
Great stuff - Really like my Fire TV (especially when its working properly).
Hi all,
The "Link Turbo" functionality has been announced before the device came out, but since then I can't find nothing about it, and I can't find any option in the phone's settings talking about it or allowing me to enable it or whatever...
Is the function gonna come in an update or did I miss something ?

From what I have heard and from my own experience, it seems to be automatic if you have both mobile data and WiFi switched on.

AFAIK it's enabled by default.
Link turbo is a passive feature which means it does not get activated or deactivated. It is a software enabled feature that will most likely show up on other Honor phone via an update.

I have access to 4G / LTE and WIFI and the speed looks like the WIFI speed only.
I cannot update or download apps in play store on my unlocked S20+ when connected to only data (I have TMobile) regardless of signal strength or 5G or LTE. Works fine on wifi but if I shut wifi off it just hangs on "pending" anytime I try to download any app at all. I've tried clearing cache, data, uninstall play store updates, cleared network settings, got a new sim card from T-Mobile and tonight I even factory reset my phone and it STILL doesn't work!!
I'm totally stumped. I've been with T-Mobile for just over a month now and this issue has been non-stop the past 2-3 weeks. Before TMobile I was on Verizon with this phone and never once had this issue!
Any ideas?

Try switching SIM slots as a test
Check Access Point Names configuration.
Replace sim card; handle it like a ram stick!!!
Out of circuit they are susceptible to ESD damage. "Techs" normally handle them quit carelessly. Failure can be instant or could take weeks, months, years to manifest itself.

What is "check access point names configuration"? No idea what this means, can you provide instructions on how to do so?
The SIM card was just replaced on Wednesday and no difference was made. I watched the rep install it and they were very careful doing it.
EDIT: I configured my Access Point Name according to this tutorial and it made no difference......all play store downloads STILL hang on pending.....

Try using a wifi connection.
Google apps are a mess...
Just a thought, I know carriers have parental control type security on data networks, you have to opt out to access 'adult' content, wondering if that could be blocking it, if your carrier has an app you may be able to use that, I could with mine in the UK on EE, otherwise you need to purposely visit an adult site and follow the links on the block page / call carrier
I'd probably call T-Mobile anyway, sounds like they are the issue considering you already factory reset the phone
This is wild, but today it started working fine on its own out of NOWHERE. I am clueless. I changed nothing. And I am fully expecting it to randomly stop working again at some point.
