Can You Get Around Registering To An Amazon Account For Firestick

Amazon Burn down TVs and Fire Goggle box Sticks are spontaneously deregistering from their Amazon accounts

Yesterday morning time, all of my Fire TVs and Burn down TV Sticks, except for my one new Burn down TV Stick two, were spontaneously deregistered and removed from my Amazon business relationship. Since and then, I've been contact by several others who experienced the aforementioned matter with their devices. It'southward unclear why this is happening, only based on those who have experienced this, my gauge is information technology's related to having an unusually loftier number of devices associated with a single Amazon account.

I personally have 12 Fire TVs and Burn down Tv set Sticks registered with my Amazon account. They're not all actively used, but I continue them around for testing purposes because I like to have devices in various states, whether information technology be rooted vs. unrooted or latest OS version vs. older OS. The 11 oldest devices were deregistered all at once. None of the installed apps or their data were removed. They were just dissociated with my Amazon account, and then they needed to be sign into again.

A Fire TV owner with 14 devices registered to his Amazon account, which were distributed among various family members, also reported all of his devices becoming deregistered. A Fire TV reseller, who had iii "dummy" Amazon accounts with 8-10 devices each, told me all of his devices became deregistered, but more so, his 3 Amazon accounts were airtight.

Since everyone I've heard from with this problem has had an unusualy high number of devices registered to their business relationship, and at least one person had their Amazon accounts closed, I suspect the spontaneous deregistering is a deliberate effort by Amazon to thwart resellers of Burn down TVs and Burn down TV Sticks. Fire Television resellers, who load these devices with apps capable of streaming pirated content and resell them for a turn a profit, get out the devices registered with a dummy Amazon account and so their buyers can start using them immediately.

The Fire Boob tube has adult a reputation for being a good piracy device, thanks to its inexpensive price and relative ease of running Android piracy apps. Amazon has been trying to avoid this reputation and it seems similar this latest wave of deregistering devices is some other pace in that effort.

I was able to get all of my devices re-registered with my Amazon account all at in one case by contacting Amazon'due south client support. I've reached out to Amazon's PR section about this and was told they'd wait into it and get back to me. I'll be sure to update this article if I hear back from them.
