I have the same issues with my Roku Ultra 4800X - It goes into power saving mode (with a Roku screensaver) after only about 10 minutes or less! If I pause a video for more than 5 minutes, it will go into a power save mode. I even disabled "Settings > System > Power > Auto power savings > After 20 minutes" and that didn't help. I have the latest OS version and build on the device. I just want to disable any power saving modes! Please HELP
Hi JCP1,
We appreciate you being part of the Roku Community!
We understand you also have trouble with your Roku device, which goes into power-saving mode when pausing a video for several minutes, even disabling the Auto power mode.
We want to resolve this as soon as possible but need more details. Just to verify:
- When did you notice the issue start?
- Which Screensaver are you experiencing the issue with?
- Are there any changes in the setup or settings of your Roku device or your network provider that might cause the problem?
- Does this issue occur only on a specific channel while streaming or across the entire Roku platform?
For troubleshooting purposes, we recommend changing your Screensaver to see if you are still experiencing the same issue. Also, restart your Roku device from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power > System restart. (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).
Let us know if the issue persists or if this works for you, and we'll continue assisting you.
Thanks,
Chel

Hello - This started occurring about a few weeks ago from 12/26/24. It's the Roku aquarium screen saver and the Roku floating logos. There is no place on the settings menu for a screensaver or to stop power saver at all - Roku should leave those options to the users. It occurs across the entire platform no matter which channel I'm on. Thanks - it's not that big of an issue but it is annoying.

JCP1, the screensaver settings are under the Themes settings. Screensavers and Power Saving are two different things.

Thanks for the answer - I wasn't even aware that Roku started using screensavers 🙄 I just disabled the screensaver and turned the power saver off as all and all seems good now. No more putting my Roku box asleep after a few minutes! Thanks and sorry for me being so stupid!
