However, if you power off an Activity that uses the FireTV Stick 4k Max, when you restart the Activity that uses the FireTV Stick 4k Max the FireTV Stick 4k Max will not wake up unless you use the OEM remote to wake it up Once you wake the Max up using the OEM remote it will then automatically re-Pair with the Harmony remote and you can then use the Harmony remote to control the Max. You can now use the Harmony remote to wake up the FireTV Stick 4k Max after it enters sleep state (either manually or after the time out).

But once you used the OEM remote to wake up the Max the Harmony remote would automatically re-pair and you were able to control the Max with the Harmony remote again.Īmazon pushed an update to the Max a few days ago. Initially if you put the Max to sleep (either manually or allowing it to time out) the Harmony remote was unable to wake it up. I have been trading emails with both Amazon tech support and Harmony tech support (Ticket # 7296820) on this issue. I am not certain that the ADB sleep disable is needed, but have not yet tested it without sleep disabled. So now, Harmony's "Off" to the 4k Max will just be "Home". What this does is replaces the "off" command that Harmony sends to the 4k Max that is causing the issues with a basic "Home" command to the 4k Max. Ny App, go do devices, and edit settings for the Fire Stick.ģ) Under power settings, select "Keep Device Always On", and hit next arrow in top right.Ĥ) On next page, select "Using a Single Button", and hit next arrow in top rightĥ) ***Very Important*** On the next page, select "Add Step", and select "Home". Since you cannot remove 'Off' from the Activity Logic Flow, what we are doing here is re-defining what the 'Off' command for the 4k Max is.ĭisable sleep on the FireStick Max using ADB. What the issue appears to be is that the 'Off' command Harmony sends the stick is messing something up, along with sleep mode and HDMI detection. So - I think I found a workaround, and someone else in the Amazon forum said it worked for them too. All the settings are the same as for my original 4K stick, which worked flawlessly.Īnyway, sorry for the long post. I have it connected to a Denon x3700h receiver. Or maybe the Max isn't turning on when I switch my tv/receiver input to it and that is the actual problem? I've tried all the different options for CEC control within the Max's menus to see if something might help to no avail.
This isn't how the original 4K fire stick works. If I attempt to switch to watching the Max after having not used it for say only 15 minutes, everything works fine and the harmony connects to it without issue.

It's as if the Max, after a half hour or maybe an hour of not being used, goes into this sleep state where it no longer accepts connection from any bluetooth devices and only responds to its paired remote. Pressing the power button or the home button on the Max's remote wakes the fire stick right up. The harmony switches the input to the Max where there is nothing but a black screen/no signal (like the Max is turned off) and attempts to connect to the Max, eventually timing out and fails. I of course have it paired with the Max through bluetooth as a wireless keyboard device.

With the Max, when I attempt to switch to using it (say from watching tv - the harmony will turn on my receiver, then switch the input to the one the Max is connected to) it seems the fire stick has turned itself off or entered some kind of sleep state and the harmony can not get it to come on. It's worked flawlessly with the original 4K stick for years. I use a Harmony elite universal remote with the hub to control all my devices. Really hope someone might have some fix I'm overlooking for this. Very disappointing.Īn even bigger problem I have which is making the Max version useless for me is powering it on. Annoying.Īs others have noted Atmos no longer works with Disney+ and HBOmax. Dolby Digital Plus) and then back to best available to "kick" Netflix back into outputting Atmos. It's slightly faster, but much of everything else is quite a step backwards, and I guess I have to go back to the original 4K stick unless anyone here has some fixes I haven't been able to figure out.Ītmos works with Netflix, however twice Netflix was only playing in vanilla stereo and I had to go into the stick's surround sound settings, switch from best available to some other setting (e.g. Upgraded from the original fire tv stick 4K to the Max.
