I have 7 Rokus through TCL tvs and sticks. All have battery drainage issues. Please acknowledge the problem and solve it. I've tried all your troubleshooting ideas numerous times and nothing works. I'm going through battery weekly, sometimes more often. It's ridiculous. FIX it, please!

Again, do something other than your standard response. We have a problem, you've known about it for years and you continue to do nothing. Terrible!

Thanks for your post.
If the remote is not properly paired to the Roku TV/device it will drain the batteries in a few days. To confirm, have you tried to repair the remote and does it help?
As stated previously in this thread, if you are experiencing an issue with remote battery drain, please provide the serial number of your Roku device from Settings>System>About. I'll be able to assist you further from there.
Keep us posted.

And you're not helping them provide an answer. They need to know the model of Roku you have, and what remote you have. That's because different devices have different remotes, and you can purchase a different remote than what comes with the device. The next question depends on the type of remote. If you are using a remote that has a headphone jack, do you use it at all? If so, make sure you remove the ear buds when not in use, as the audio amp is powered up whenever they are plugged in.
There is no major issue with remote battery life. I have 8 different devices, and none of them exhibit short battery life. But then I don't use the headphone jack, only using them to control the Roku.

Dan, that's BS. There is a problem with their remotes; not all but some and Roku has to know about it. I provided specific remote info previously, as requested, and heard nothing. Why must it be addressed offline and one on one? No headphones, just a TCL TV and the Roku remote. BTW, I have 7, and three have ongoing battery issues. I don't like being negative, but the silence on easy fixes from Roku is deafening.
