1. Clear cache and force stop app

Cache is data that the app temporarily stores on your device while it's operating. When an app stops working correctly, one of the most common causes is a corrupted cache. Here's how to clear the cache data from the app.

  • Navigate to the Settings menu.
  • Select the Applications menu.
  • Select Manage Installed Applications.
  • Select the "CDE Lightband" app
  • Select Clear cache.
  • Select Force stop
  • Launch app



2. Check for updates

  • Press the Home button to return to the Amazon Fire TV home menu.
  • Navigate to the Settings menu.
  • Select My Fire TV.
  • Select About
  • Select Check for System Update
  • Update device if available
  • Launch app



3. Uninstall and reinstall app

If the previous two steps have not resolved your problem, one final thing you can try is deleting all data for the app altogether and downloading it again. 


  • Press the Home button to return to the Amazon Fire TV home menu.
  • Navigate to the Settings menu.
  • Select the Applications menu.
  • Select Manage Installed Applications.
  • Select the "CDE Lightband" app
