Misc: Amazon Fire TV Remote Home Button not working (but long press does!)
Summary: This happens to my Fire TV remotes randomly, and I'm unclear as to a specific cause. Pressing the "Home" button no longer takes me to the home screen. It's effectively dead, but a long press works fine. Why? Unsure, seems to be a bug that hasn't been flushed out by Amazon, but thankfully a post in Amazon forums by Tolga presents a possible workaround using adb. See this post on how to use/get adb and setup your fire stick to work w/ adb. Then come back here for steps specific to this problem: Workaround: Connect to your fire stick using adb adb connect <IPAddressofYourFireStick> For example: adb connect 192.168.20.35 If successful, you should see a return of something like this: connected to <IPAddressofYourFireStick>:5555 adb shell settings --user 0 put secure user_setup_complete 1
