I own several Fire sticks and a Fire TV. The mandatory intro video is super annoying and searching online, it seems as if no one was able to bypass the video. I finally figured out a quick and easy way to skip it. Simply enter a voice command with the Fire TV remote (if you have one) and then press the home button.
Don't have a remote with voice control? No problem. Download the Amazon Fire TV Remote App for your Android or IOS device and connect your phone or tablet to the same WiFi network. Now, begin setting up your Fire Stick. Once it's connected to WiFi, you'll be able to sync the two devices and use the phone or tablet as a remote. Now, when you get to the annoying intro video, pull down from the top of the remote app and do a voice search [for anything - I use "YouTube"]. When the device begins looking for it, you'll be able to exit the intro video with the home button.
Do you know any current ways that work to skip intro?
Hey do you know any current ways to skip the intro, thanks for the post but I can't get to work.
Me either
Just tried this and didn't work, you can though scroll the video across to the end if using the firetv app on Android phone.
Just tried all the above and none worked. Using the app to enter the device setting finally shut the annoying thing up though
It's in the 9 square grid between the pull down Microphone and the Keyboard icon.

Hi,
I get fire sticks direct from the suppliers and can confirm my latest batch allows you to skip the intro video's!
I. Do alot per day and i find only 1 in 4 batches i get can be fast forwarded, the rest i have to sit through the intro...and thats secknd gen sticks
I purchased my S8 directly from T-Mobile today. So when I left the store and started using it more, I realized that it had a few bugs. Before and after the OTA(that was immediately found on my phone to download and install), and even after a factory reset.
First I'm experiencing that the Android/Google pre installed notepad or memo, is completely missing from the device. Completely searching the phone, and even going into the Android OS application settings. Also, even having Samsung do a remote screen share via technical support on the phone, and the Tutor app. Even they couldn't even find it.
Second I'm the type of person that doesn't like any type of vibration on my phone. So I turn off all the vibration in the Android OS settings, even for calls. But for some reason the touch screen home button has some type of forced/haptic vibrate. This happens on any screen, including when the screen is off and I'm clicking the touch screen home button to wake up to screen to use the device. Is this even normal, for only the touch screen home button to make some type of vibration(more specifically, some type of forced/haptic vibrate), when you have all the vibration settings that can be turned on and off in the Android OS settings completely turned off?
Then lastly, I'm having a problem with Google Voice to Text, and Bixby voice to text. What happens is, if I turn off Bixby voice to text in the Android OS settings. So I can use Google Voice to Text. But every few minutes, Bixby turns itself on, and is automatically the default voice to text. Then when I go into the Android OS settings, it appears that the circle turns blue indicating that it was on period when I clearly turned Bixby Voice to Text off in the Android OS settings.
What should I do? Should I return the device and get a replacement immediately. I got it from my carrier this morning at there corporate store. They had a bunch in stock, and when I was there UPS even delived more to the store. I even contacted Samsung, all they can tell me was to send my phone in and leave my phone there for a minimum of two weeks and remain completely with out a phone. Which is absurd, after purchasing a new phone and only owning the device 3-4 hours maximum!
Just an update, I went back to T-mobile, after speaking to booth Samsung and T-mobile and exchanged my S8. But still the problems persist on the new exchanged S8. Also, this time around it has gotten worst, because this time around I was unable to even Smart Switch the Memo files. Because on my old Galaxy I was at least able to transfer my Android/Google memos to the 1st S8. But from the returned S8 to the new exchanged S8, I was unable to do so. It was not even an option at all(greyed out or selectable)
I don't think any of these are problems? First it's Samsung notes that is presinstalled second just download a note app. Second the home button has its own vibration setting and their are apps to further customize, I have mine on a super short vibration and changed navigation keys to stay perma black even when keyboard open with an app. Lastly the bixby voice is disabled until they fix it. By default the phone uses Samsung voice but you can enable google voice or get another keyboard. Also don't forget Android is customizable but may have to use an app for it.
I have blacked out my phone, use navbar apps, and use google keyboard.

Got the Fire HD 8 (7th Generation)
Is there a way to activate Alexa via voice, like "ok google" can be activated even when the screen is locked?
Kinda like to activate her without having to pick up the device and hold the home button every time.
So I'm using the Fire HD 8 as a wall tablet with Fully and Sharptools for home automation. I need to keep the tablet "always on" and use a black screen saver because apparently if the screen locks, the only way to unlock it is to press the button. Which would require me to remove the tablet from the wall mount so quite the pain.
The black screen saver at night is a glowing light grey.
Curious if there is a way to do something with the 7th Gen that would allow it to be woken by an app? Without having to pry the sucker open and root it with Linux?

Can you wake your Fire tablet itself by using MacroDroid device automation app from Google Play
Sideloaded that, will see if I can figure out how to actually enable that.
Hmmm...created a screen unlock macro with "swipe from top right down" as the trigger. Didn't seem to do anything, unless I configured it wrong.
Hello,
I have a question regarding Google Assistant light automation. I recently purchased a Philips hue system and its working pretty well. Yesterday, I set up Google Assistant to voice control the lighting at home. Some months ago, I received the Android 10 update for the Note 9 and according to the Internet, since that update, Google Assistant asks to unlock the phone in order to perform the turn on/off functions for the bulbs. Now, I found out that adding my home to Smart Lock works. But the thing is that as long the phone is locked, I only get one response from the Assistant. When I try to activate it again, it activates, then it listens to what I'm saying and then it shows the three dot icon like its searching but nothing happens. If I turn off the screen with the button and activate the Assistant once again, it again works for the first command. I tried to factory reset the phone but it didnt help.
This is certainly a Smart Lock/Android 10/Google Assistant issue since if I'm not home and the phone is locked, I receive response all the time. Likewise, if I'm home and unlock the phone manually, I get response on every command.
Is this a bug? Do anyone have a similar issue?
Thanks in advance
Yes, it is a bug, but not necessarily because of the home automation although I first noticed it when it didn't respond to home automation commands or routines.
i recently purchased quite a few automated lights and switches.
ok google
turn on bedroom
what time is it
tell me a joke
all have the grayed out mic and grayed out dots you refer to.
WHEN the phone is unlocked and home.
It is only noticeable for me when the phone is unlocked but home. I have set the GPS and WIFI to keep the phone unlocked at home, so it theoretically should work since it recognizes my wifi network and gps. but it refuses to respond with a "ok google" when speaking about turning something on and off command.
unlock the phone manually and it works.
I haven't been out much...
