Firestick updated now detected as Apple TV!

[ashyt16]

This is doing my head in. After the recent updates to the 4K firestick it is now being detected by my mothers 2020 TU8000 as an Apple TV.

Anyone else had this issue?

I've tried different ports, one will just say unknown device, HDMI CEC on and off, unplug, replug, power off, power on.

Messed with the firestick TV settings, NOTHING works. 

This is just crazy.

 I'm not factory resetting the TV. Samsung's backup is useless, I still have to re-enter all my login details for all the TV apps and that takes far too long.

As a result because of this nonsense I cannot get the remote to control the Firestick. 

I dont get this issue on my 2019 Samsung TV.

I had the same issue yesterday on my Fire Stick 4K Max, but thanks to John Anderson's suggestion, it worked for me. A BIG THANK YOU👍 😊

1. Turn power to stick off and unplug the power plug. 2. Unplug the stick from t.v. 3. Plug in the power plug:- do not switch in. 4 Plug in the stick to TV. 5. Switch power on. . . .not sure why people are talking about passwords and factory resets etc etc. Take time to read the instructions that come with the stick and there will be no issues
