Have downloaded Ipvanish on fire stick but no icon on main page,
Only can use by down load again and open after install
Any ideas
could you find it in your settings–>applications list?
Hey I wanna know is the file linked site blocked bc I was trying to download it off a developer site and I saw something posted from 3-18-2019 saying filelinked blocked. Their getting people IP address.
what?
My problem is not Filelink, it works great on my Android, My problem is finding Links that work or ones that say watch a video to get the pin number, and there is not one after sitting there for 10 – 15 minutes. I have both a Firestick and an Android Box and find the Firestick so much easier to use. Thank you for the Newsletter…
I like file linked but I’d rather use it in my android box. I just bought the Insignia fire TV and there is only but so much space for downloads. I would rather not have to buy an external drive when I’ve got three android boxes sitting in the closet doing nothing. It’s a great app and thanks. Keep up the good work.
You guys are so awesome.
How do I activate my account after buying into ipvanish! My account not activate until I enter these ch codes they gave me to enter. Can’t locate it on my fire stick screen. Need help or instruction.
We cannot provide support for IPVanish. Please ask the support on their website
Use Filelinked on your Android Phone or Tablet, along with “Easy Fire Tools” from the Play Store and you will save time and space.
Hey friends,
I have a number of Firesticks, 3rd gen and 4k. My issue is that Amazon, for some genius reason, decided to remove our ability to place our apps/apk’s in the order that WE want them in as opposed to “pinning” them to the front. Is there any remedy to this? Other than getting rid of my devices?
P.S. filelinked is a blessing!
John, to fix this decide what order you want all your apps and add-ons in. Then one by one start at the end of the list and pin to the front. When you get to the first one they will be in the order you want.
I have several APK’s that work for a while then stop. Silent ghost, Cinema, Black Panther and others. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but they still don’t work.
I liked Silent Ghost, best APK ever for movies and tv shows, then stopped working.
Click on icon go to tv shows and tv shows come up on screen but will not populate any shoes. I can not go beyond that point.
Also had problems with Cinema and Mobdro they are working now after un and re installing.
Anybody know how to get Silent Ghost working again ????
