Your Amazon Fire TV equipment contains a hidden menu of Developer Options.
We’ll show you how.
What Are Developer Options?
ADB Debuggingallows you to install applications remotely over your Wi-Fi data pipe.
Directly from your phone, for example.
The Apps from Unknown Sources option enables you to install apps from places other than the Amazon App Store.
This process is known as sideloading and should be done with care.
Apps installed from outside the app store might not have the same safety checks done on them.
Deep Sleep mode puts the gadget into a kind of hibernation, preventing connection activity.
This means the Fire TV gadget can’t bestarted remotely by your Echo speakeror other connected devices.
The developer options are available on all devices that use the FireTV OS.
They can be accessed directly from the rig prefs.
To reveal them, you will need to use a different method.
After installing an update to the FireTV OS, the Developer Options may disappear from the menu.
They are still available, you just need to repeat the steps above to reveal them again.
How Can the Developer Options Be Used?
The Developer Options have been hidden for a reason.
Installing apps from unknown sources can sometimes be problematic.
Accessing it and changing the options it contains is not recommended unless you really know what you are doing.
After 3-4 seconds, release both buttons and press theMenu button.
Just ensure to tread carefully with all the different options.
