  • There is a reason apps like Mouse Toggle no longer work on Amazon Firesticks. I think it is time we all consider moving to Android TV!!

    The new updates for anyone on FireOS 8 and above means that apps like Mouse Toggle will no loner work. Amazon have blocked the use of ADB on the new Amazon Firesticks, including the 4K max.
    This is not good news for fans of the Firestick who like to Jailbreak the Amazon Firestick or install third party apps.

      @chrisnul5861 Před 3 měsíci

      Yes I am switching to Nvidia shield as soon as I can. It was better already than the fire stick to start with. Don't need a OTG cable. To add more storage. Don't need one to hardwire to network. All around is just a better box. A lot bigger but still.. and since there's no ways to sideload the Roku. That's probably going to have taken over anyways.

    I stopped using my fire stick when they forced ads before prime movies. I already pay for prime, I shouldn't have to pay more for Amazon to not show me ads. They're trying to get paid twice, once by me and a second time by forcing ads onto me. So at this point, I'm paying just for two day shipping. I don't need to watch prime. I will use it to see what I want to see and then find it on the internet so I don't have to watch their ads.

    I finally had it with companies trying to mess with a product that I paid for. I had three Firesticks in use in my house and I disconnected all three. I replaced two with the G1 android box, which I am very happy with, and will put one on my third tv soon. I am sick of companies blocking what I have a right to do. Roko is just as bad. They are bricking your Roku if you do not accept their arbitration rules. Can you believe that? These companies think that that they own you and what they sell you.......I won't even buy a piece of clothing that has a companies name on it for everyone to see. I'm not their walking FREE billboard. As long as people continue to accept these kinds of abuses, they will keep abusing you. BELIEVE IT!

    Since I currently have four cubes in my home, I decided to get the Walmart Onn box as a backup. Once Amazon totally cuts out the ability to add programs, etc., those boxes will become extremely scarce. Better to be prepared in advance than to wait until there was a rush on them. I have hooked up one so that I could become familiar with it. The rest stay put away until such time as they are necessary. Sadly, I wanted to replace the cube with a Nivida Shield but with other more pressing items needed this is a simple solution for me at this time. I have already cut back on Amazon as I do not like the direction they are taking.

    I moved to the MECOOL box 4ram 32rom. The fire stick is still usable. Just add the minimum programs you use. 5 or 6? Then, it's easy to clear the cache and stop all programs. Get a mini keyboard with track pad, and then there is no need for mouse toggle. Hook the keyboard via the 2.4 dongle as the Bluetooth has reconnect every time you want use the keyboard and it's a slower process then the 2.4 dongle. The new MECOOL box is everything Amazon should be.

    I have 2 shields and 1 firestick. If this becomes an issue for me, I will ditch the firestick. I have alternatives which make the decision easy, but think this "corporate greed" within the streaming market is just fricken outrageous! The Netflix, Amazon, and Peacock "pay to not have ads" move just pushes me to support devs who can deliver us "ad free" content! Firesticks move is a dev averse move, much like the Apples OS in my opinion.

    At Wal-Mart. A little harder to get for our friends across the pond because of shipping cost, but still cheaper than the firestick at regular price.
    This thing works great. I side loaded some apps for movies and the browser apps work 1000× better than the scrappy Amazon silk browser. I used to get so mad at that browser at how slow it was. I'm very happy with this new onn 4 k box, and the price is awesome.

    The Vega system being based off the Linux system similar to roku system is a closed system, just like roku you can enable third party apps- a functionality mainly used by developers, I been working with roku this past year and have managed to add three third party apps for streaming but you have to reload it daily, it has to get the recertification from the App Store/OS system for the app to work, yes With Vega you will be able to jailbreak it to a degree and watch some third party apps to a degree m(will be very few workable apps) and then you will need to do it every single day, it won’t be feasible to jailbreak for other people, would be a pain in the ass to do that daily.

It was just disabled by the update ,and I re-enabled it. Simple. Also, because it's based on, albeit a heavily modded version of android I'm sure it's in their contract that there has to be ADB access on any device using that software.
      I have heard that Amazon are making their own proprietary operating system for next gen fire TV roducts, and also it may also be getting flashed to the current generation aswell to replace what it's running now. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen.

      Hi, Lee. My problem is that I have THREE Echo Dot speakers to wirk in conjunction with my FireSticks. Even though 'Alexa' is always a 'passive-aggressive, b*tch-c*nt', I have grown rather dependent on the alarms, timers, TV control, 'Recast' DVR control, and other 'smart-home' type stuff.
      Do you know if I can use these speakers somehow with 'Google-TV' devices (Chromecast or ONN 4K box)?
      I would hate that money to go to waste as I'm living pretty close to poverty-level. Don't have money to replace them with 'Google Home Mini's'!
      I had read back when the first 'Chromecast w/Google-TV' sticks came out, that you could use some 'Alexa' voice commands with them (in addition to their main 'Hey, Google' voice assistant), but don't know how restricted that might be, if it works at all?
      I was curious, if basic Android-TV or Google-TV can make use of the Echo speakers. I really can't see throwing them out and trying to resell them is just not worth my while for what little I'd probably get for them. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHATEVER YOU CAN!
      *Lastly, you CAN still turn Mouse Toggle on for the OS 6 and OS 7 FireSticks. You just use the 'Remote ADB Shell' app downloaded to your Android phone (not positive about Android OS 14, but anything earlier works for sure) and you can CONNECT to your FireStick's 'IP Address' .... type in some specific commands and the Mouse will work w/the 'double-click' again!
      The only issue is, if you need to reboot your device for any reason, you'll need to do the commands again.
      This is less inconvenient that you'd think, as 'Remote ADB' app REMEMBERS the commands you input the first time (you just 'long-press' on the command line and the pop-up menu lists them)!
      Also, the Mouse Toggle stays active despite your FireStick going into 'Sleep' mode! You only have to do the easy redo steps, if you had to Reboot the stick!
      Sounds like many people are unaware of this option. I find it MUCH more convenient than using my bluetooth mini-keyboard/mouse combo (for assorted reasons)!
      Keep up the good vids. Been a long-time subscriber! Cheers!

    I had 2 Firesticks stopped using them end of Dec/23 , I knew this was coming I'm using Superbox S5 Max and Vseebox V3 Pro , way better no buffing and much faster. They both come with over 1300 North American channels, and loads of movies . I use my vpn and no issues .

    Since Amazon enabled the extra adds ($3 mo to get rid of) and enabled the previews that play on the home screen I decided to get rid of Fire TV and all of my Echo devices. This has been in the back of my mind since Amazon got rid of the Fire TV Recast OTA DVR. That was the reason I went with amazon. Most likely going with Apple TV and staying in Apple ecosystem since phones, tablets, and computers are all Apple. Although I might get an Nvidia Shield to play with as well.

    Completely agree. Amazon are basically changing the product after you've bought it. Imagine buying a UHD television and after an update a few months later it only has FHD capability. That's effectively what Amazon have done by blocking ADB. I've lost my custom launcher and several other great apps that rely on ADB. If Id known this would happen I would never have bought my Fire stick.

    Yes, I see the day coming when I'll abandon the Fire stick. If I did it now I'd probably get an Nvidia Shield Pro. Amazons updates sometimes add something good for the user but increasingly are pushing out more crap that isn't. More ads, less ability to control the look, more to block extra apps.

    Dumped my 4k max first gen. bout a month ago, Got a ONN 4k box from Walmart and will never look back. It just works and doesn't struggle with Kodi like my 4k max did. $20 for the ONN box $6 for a otg and $8.99 for Kingston 64gb flash drive. Best money I ever spent, it just works. Bye Amazon on to Happy trails and no forced bloat ware you can't uninstall. I encourage everyone to at least try one. Don't like hey take it back to Walmart and exchange it however you won't cuz it's dam nice to have something that works right every time you push the on button!

    Sir I must agree Amazon really gave a blow below the proverbial belt. Once the product is in the consumers' possession people have the right to customize their own property. You dont see GM going after their consumers if they customize their product. To change the program for those that have bought firesticks is wrong! Sure if this change was implemented to new users and they are aware of the situation thats fair. At least people can move on before purchasing firetv devices. It seems very unjust and misleading. I think I will go android after using cubes for over 5 years.

    I have been heavily vested in amazon fire devices for some time now. Currently i have 4 fire tvs, 5 firesticks, fire recast, and have had no real problems in the past. I also have a couple roku tvs, that i dont care for, a Nvidia shield , 2 regular chromecast with google tv, and a brand new tv with google chromecast with google tv. All that being said i have not cared for the fire os for the last couple years. The main advantage it had was it was stable, easy to use and lots of video content on how to use and manipulate the devices. It was great to set up for friends and family and not have to do much else. With the google system becoming better i am going that route as amazon will be useless to customize very soon. I understand its a business but the greed will bite them in the ass, as more people go away with the new release coming soon. I believe amazon thinks the sheep will follow but the cord cutting world keeps growing and they are going the entire wrong direction. The Onn streming devices and google stuff have a great os and more content creators are pushing for these systems so i believe this trend will go that way and make those companies the money. In conclussion Amazon is now Dogshit, and buy an android or google device.

    • @john26262

      I have never used a fire device myself but I think it's more than just greed. There was an article on Torrent Freak a few months ago that said that some content owners are considering suing Amazon unless they lock their devices down. The content providers want people to pay for the content rather than getting it for free like you can do with the Firestick's sideloading capability.
