I meant after he'd finished using it.Sorry, that’s not correct. It will still use the data connection even if the TV is off. The firestick needs to be put in sleep mode to minimise power/data usage, so If you are streaming and you just turn the TV off it will carry on streaming as the power and data connection is still active. Obviously, if it’s powered from the TV it will turn off.

Don't you have any phone chargers anywhere of any other USB adapters?When plugged into hdmi port the firestick went into setup mode and was plugged into side panel of tv for usb and hdmi.

It always says that, generally still works though.Got the message to connect to mains for better power even after moving to all 3 usb ports o tv.
It must have wifi connection if its updating.I found one in the kitchen and plugged it in and something is happening as its updating now.
Funny both usb ports on tv say 5v as i was standing at the side and sticker was on back of screen.
Power off the firestick at the mains.Connection timed out again in setup , and yes how did it update then , 3 usb ports tried and now powered by mains .

Everything in house is by lan cable and switches. Except laptop which hangs if on YouTube.
Now into phone settings for the app as it says its registering on fire tv on mobile screen and verifying connection.
Failed unable to connect to device again through phone settings.
You can get short hdmi extension cables, I use one so that the remote can 'see' the device as it hangs down 200mm lower and its visible, although I've not used it for a firestick for a long time.I was going to plug it into a hdmi cable in kitchen with adapter but it wont plug into it , just my luck
