  • Fire TV cant access menu or home screen – Amazon How to

    Try different HDMI ports and ensure you are using a high-speed HDMI cable and not an HDMI hub. If the issue continues, let the device sit for 25 minutes to see if it resolves, or try performing a factory reset by holding the Back and Right navigation buttons on the remote simultaneously while the device is in the boot loop. 

    1. Power Cycle Your Fire TV Stick

    • Unplug: Disconnect the Fire TV Stick from its power source and the TV’s HDMI port. 
    • Wait: Wait for at least 30 seconds to allow any residual power to drain. 
    • Plug In: Reconnect the Fire TV Stick to the TV using the included power adapter.
      • Important: Avoid using a TV’s USB port for power, as this can cause an unstable power supply. 

    2. Check Connections and Hardware

    • HDMI Port: Try plugging the Fire TV Stick into a different HDMI port on your TV. 
    • HDMI Cable/Adapter: If you are using an HDMI adapter or extender, try connecting the Fire TV Stick directly to the TV’s HDMI port. 
    • TV Support: Ensure your TV supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection); check your TV’s owner’s manual. 
    • Try Another TV: If possible, test the Fire TV Stick on a different television to rule out a TV issue. 

    3. Allow More Time or Perform a Factory Reset

    • Wait Longer: Leave the device on for about 25 minutes to see if it will eventually progress past the logo. 
    • Factory Reset (if possible): If the device is still stuck in a loop, try a factory reset.
      1. Hold down the Right navigation button and the Back button on your Fire TV remote simultaneously. 
      2. Continue holding the buttons until you see an option on the screen to perform a factory reset. 
      3. Select the option to reset and confirm. 
  • Can uninstall Samsung wallet and still have access to the password manager? How to

    Samsung Pass passwords cannot be exported to another password manager. They are encrypted to Samsung and they do not allow exporting a .csv file. This is one way to keep you in the Samsung ecosystem, as people don’t want to abandon years of passwords. I hope you don’t have a lot of passwords, because you will have to enter them manually into any new password manager.  There is nothing wrong with using the wallet, even if you only use it for Samsung Pass.  You are not required to add a payment card, or any other information you don’t want to.  

    If you truly want to move to another password manger, here are your options for transferring them from Samsung Pass.  1) Manually copy (or copy/paste) each entry into your new password manger, 2) download your new password manager to your phone and each time you have to enter a password on a site or in an app, let Samsung Pass fill it in (or look up the info in Samsung Pass and manually enter it), but before you hit submit, save the info to your new manager.  When all your passwords have been transferred over, you can then uninstall Samsung Wallet.  It will be a long process if you have a lot of passwords.  Save all new passwords to your new password manager.
