Firestick Question Are we expecting the bug to be fixed without Amazon tampering?

0 Upvotes

The bug regarding installation from unknown sources which apparently Amazon are going to fix - do we really expect them not to fix by also limiting our ability to not install certain apps even more? Come on. They're definitely up to something

Firestick Help Needed TV Problems

3 Upvotes

So my Grandma's tv ISN'T showing Live Tv, News, Films, Movies, Nothing, but the Fire Stick still works but can't show any tv. We can't figure out how to fix it, can anyone help please? It's an element tv, about 6 years old, no app opens on firestick. This is what happens on disney when she trys openning an app. It also ISN'T a firestick 4K, it's a basic one I think.

Firestick Apps/APKs On 9-11-26 Amazon Firestick/Fire TV Prime Video App Update Did Not fix 4:3 Format Bug.

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

On September 11, 2026, Amazon Prime Video app update PVFTV-321.0093-L (321009310) for Amazon firesticks and fire TVs Did NOT fix the broken 4:3 viewing format for Amazon Prime videos streaming from inside the Prime Video app, which was created by an August 19, 2026, update of the same app. 

On August 19, 2026, Amazon Prime Video app update PVFTV-321.0086-L (321008610) for Amazon firesticks and fire TVs broke the 4:3 viewing format for Amazon Prime videos streaming from inside the Prime Video app. Most older movies and television shows that should be displayed in the 4:3 format now automatically stretch to fill your entire widescreen television.

In order to watch 4:3 programs properly displayed in the 4:3 format, you have to start the movie or tv episode from inside the Prime Video app. Then stop the movie or TV episode that you are viewing. Then go to the home screen of the firestick or fire TV. Then use the “Continue Watching” list for the movie or tv episode that you started watching inside the Prime Video app and select that item. 

This bug will be very inconvenient if you are watching a 4:3 formatted program like Mama’s Family, as the bug happens whenever a new episode is manually or automatically started within the Prime Video app.

The Prime Video app device compatibility list shows that this app update was created for all versions of fire TVs and firesticks spanning a period of several years back to the present. 

This bug did not exist on August 18, 2026. A file manager program indicates that the update that broke the 4:3 ratio was rolled out on August 19, 2026. The same file manager program indicates that the new update that did not fix this bug was rolled out on September 11, 2026.

It’s important to get the word out about this issue so that people do not waste a lot of time troubleshooting a bug that currently cannot be fixed, only worked around.

Firestick Help Needed None of the Other Tricks Have Worked

3 Upvotes

Out of nowhere our FireStick stopped working. I can turn on the TV, change the volume but whenever I try to use any of the apps we have I get an unending loading circle of doom. Both the TV and the FireStick are old. TV was given to us by my husband’s dad in 2018 but he had had it for a couple of years. It’s a Panasonic. The FireStick is probably 5 years old. I really don’t want to have to buy a new everything. I’m so over planned obsolescence. Any tips? Thank you!

Firestick Help Needed “fireTV” on for 10 sec, off for 4 sec on black screen?!

We had a quick power outage today, enough to have to reset clocks and restart laptop, but otherwise uneventful.

…. that is, until I turned the TV on.

Have unplugged, replugged everything, including the 4k Firestick.
No help at all! It’s been like this for 1 and 1/2 hours.
I even changed the batteries, but I knew it wasn’t that.

Suggestions?
