It turns on automatically at specific time at 1 am and around 6am. What is the issue and how to fix it?
The setting on the Fire TV to enable / disable the TV being switched on automatically can be found here: Settings -> Display & Sounds -> HDMI CEC Device Control Set it to ON to auto switch on the TV, or OFF to not.
I found under settings->Equipment Control->Manage Equipment->TV->Power Controls->Power Command Repetition, the Power On option was set to twice. Changing it to once seems to fix the issue with the TV turning back on after turning it off. I also changed the delay to 5 seconds instead of 12.
Neither of the above solutions worked for my Fire TV. In particular, in Settings under Equipment Control there is only Add Equipment- no Power options. The auto turn on after turn off problem has recurred even though I have the latest Fire OS update and restarted the Fire TV numerous times. I even unplugged it for 3 hours, then plugged in again, turned it off via the remote, but it turned itself ON after about 5 minutes. Arghhh!
My Toshiba(Fire Tv) comes on intermittently. It came on at 345 this morning and at the same time about two weeks ago.
I have tried all of these options and my Toshiba fire tv still randomly turns on… Its only a couple of years old. Now I just unplug it every night so it doesn’t wake me up. Definitely wont be purchasing this type of tv again
Go to Settings and restart the Firestick remote. That worked for me.
Have not found this to be the root cause yet, but will
For me, this happens whenever I do announcements with my other Echo devices. I believe that if you go to the Fire TV settings there’s an option for auto TV on. If there isn’t one, try the TV’s settings.
my fire stix when it comes on it just rotate through the screens and wii not come on
Okay so I figured it would be good to add my experience with this as well. Our Insignia Fire TV got progressively worse where the TV would turn itself on and immediately go to Netflix for some reason. We couldn’t figure it out and no one online had answered the question as to fix it. Some people had similar issues but not exactly with Netflix being forced open NO MATTER WHAT! Gosh it was frustrating. Well of course it ended up being 100% the remotes fault that had some glitch or burned chip inside and you can test this by removing the batteries and seeing if the issue persists so we ordered another remote cheap from amazon and it works like a charm now. 10/10 we figured it out without breaking our TV and our house is not haunted! I hope this helped someone and best of luck!
