How to Reset Fire Stick Remote & Fix Most Problems (100% Guide)
0To reset your Firestick remote and fix most problems, including issues with volume control or connectivity, you can follow these steps using your phone (since you mentioned using a phone and lost the old remote). Resetting the remote can resolve many issues, and reconfiguring it afterward ensures proper functionality.
Reset the Firestick Remote
Basic Reset:
Remove the batteries from the Firestick remote.
Press and hold the Home button for 10-20 seconds.
Reinsert fresh AAA batteries (usually two) in the correct orientation.
Wait 60 seconds, then try using the remote.
Advanced Reset (Unpair and Re-pair):
If the basic reset doesn’t work, you’ll need to unpair the remote and pair it again using the Fire TV app.
Fix Most Problems (Including Volume Control and Connectivity)
Set Up the Fire TV App:
Download the Amazon Fire TV app (iOS/Android) on your phone.
Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as your Firestick.
Open the app, select your Fire TV device, and enter the 4-digit code shown on your TV (if prompted).
Use the app’s virtual remote to navigate (swipe to move, tap to select).
Restart the Firestick:
Unplug the Firestick from power, wait 60 seconds, and plug it back in.
Wait for the home screen to load before proceeding.
Unpair the Remote (if Needed):
In the Fire TV app, go to Settings, Controllers & Bluetooth Devices, Amazon Fire TV Remotes.
Select your remote (if listed) and choose Remove Device to unpair it.
If the remote isn’t listed, skip to re-pairing.
Re-pair the Remote:
In the app, navigate to Settings, Controllers & Bluetooth Devices, Amazon Fire TV Remotes, Add New Remote.
Press and hold the Home button on the remote for 10-20 seconds, keeping it within 10 feet of the Firestick.
Look for an on-screen confirmation or a blinking light on the remote (if applicable).
Fix Volume Control Issues:
If volume controls don’t work, configure the remote for your TV:
In the app, go to Settings, Equipment Control, Manage Equipment, TV, Change TV (or Set Up TV if not configured).
Select your TV brand (e.g., Samsung, LG, Sony). If not listed, choose Other.
Follow prompts to test IR signals. Press the Volume Up or Power button on the remote when instructed.
Confirm if the TV responds (e.g., volume changes or power toggles). Select Yes if it works, or No to try another IR code.
Save settings once volume works.
If it fails, check your TV’s IR codes (in the TV manual or Amazon’s support site) and enter them manually in the app.
