The engineer selecting the USB chip can choose a current limit or voltage limit. That voltage will heat your stick up and cause premature failure. Are you talking about how to plug the fire stick in correctly? You just use the wall adapter to plug it into a wall or power strip. Why do you need a video??? Follow the instructions on the package. And current is not power. Amps is the unit for current. Watts is the unit foe Power. Different things. I agree, an amp is a measurement of current, watt is a measurement of power, but the article does confuse the terms.
So which is it, a half amp of current or a half watt of power?? I have always used the plug and lead that came with the the firestick but a lot of the iptv programmes I use buffer massively after so long of being turned on even force closing programs does not help a quick power cycle after 1 minute off and it solves it. Plus it can get hot on all the time which I am sure effects performance too. Hope this helps. My amp has a 5volt 1amp usb on the back The exact same as the provided wall plug.
I used that since the fire stick is in one of the hdmi ports right there. During setup, the stick knew it was not plugged into the provided usb plug, it said insufficient power detected, or something. So, yes many TVs and amps have proper power USB ports but I hear that the constant power provided when plugged into outlet directly, can allow the stick to do downloads and updates at its own leasure without being interrupted with sudden power off that tv and amp may cause.
Why would you spend a additional Amazon give you everything you need to run the device. If one lives in a house with concrete block walls, this is harder to accomplish, but in those types of homes, there are generally many visible wires anyway, sometimes even visible plumbing pipes. In that situation, the use of wiring loom significantly improves the aesthetics. To be accurate. The primary difference, and the danger, lies with the Wattage. This ports will sometimes only provide mA of power 5v x 0.
The power adaptor that comes with your fire stick is 5W. You will cause damage by underpowering the device. The TV will likely never provide more power than the provided adaptor.
Michael is not quite correct in his explanation USB and power design considerations, an area I have some expertise in as an EE. USB 2. The voltage will never increase beyond 5V unless there has been a circuit failure or it was improperly designed. As Elias correctly stated, USB 2. Now, when someone connects a USB peripheral that requires more current than the host port can provide, it can be handled in different ways. A well designed host port will just shutdown and stay shutdown until it detects the condition has been resolved.
Depending on the external device, this can cause erratic and potentially damaging behavior, or the device may sense the condition and shut itself down. The port can also be designed to always provide power, regardless if the TV itself on.
The ports on most TVs are designed for a USB flash drive or externally powered hard drive, not a streaming device. Some TVs do provide sufficient current to reliably power a streaming stick check the manual for the maximum current , or the current drive ability of the USB port can be tested.
Why do Amazon sell leads to plug the 4k firestick into TV usb socket then? This is an official Amazon product so is guaranteed and negates all of the above. Please provide a link or a way to search for the exact product.
This particular product has not been approved or endorsed by Amazon. This is from a third party seller. I have been powering my Firestick 4k through my TV and I lost my sound. When going to settings the Audio settling were frozen and on always dolby digital. I therefore had to reset my firestick back to factory setting and is now set to best available. I am now going to use the power pack. It needs a fresh install a couple of times a year, usually due to Kodi errors. Otherwise it's great.
They are overseas. I've contacted both Amazon and Netflix and they don't give a shit. It's pretty annoying. Yep for some reason they don't distribute the 4k versions to Aussie firrsticks. It works overseas no problem. I think that applies for Disney plus too. Not sure if it's actually 4k, but the visual quality is better on my p projector. I can't get 4k videos to play in the resolution that is meant to be under prime video.
Is that the case for you? Not sure what to do atm. I'm watching 4K on netflix, not all netflix contents are in 4K, but you can definitely watch 4K if it's available.
I wouldn't say it's as easy as a chromecast when casting from your phone but you can screen mirror. Hey guys to play 4k videos what wifi or Ethernet speed you need? I'm thinking the EOP I'm using for the firetv 4k stick is not enough or my Wifi 5ghz is not enough as well. Would I notice the difference upgrading from the lite version in terms if speed of the interface and using Kodi? Kodi is a bit slow on the lite version.

Anyone have this problem and know of a solution? They throttle your service and when that happens it glitches the firestick network. The way I found this out is that when I went away for the summer I had a different cable Co. My firestick was fine until I returned home after 3 months and had the same problem with my cable Co.
If that was the case then why would it not affect both my fire sticks at the same time? But the internet is not down when this happens. Laptop, cell, VoIP phone all connected to same network and working fine.
Generally rebooting firestick and or modem takes care of it but last week one day I spent 30 minutes continuously rebooting both things before finally getting connected.
Sounds like your wifi signal is weak or your channel is getting stepped on by your neighbors. That happens to me too sometimes. They are both wifi. Sadly so is Amazon support. Different problem. I am using an ethernet connection and firestick wont recognize the San disk external storage. I did format the San disk. New 4k max will not clear cache. Made sure I had current operating system. Rebooted system.
