Remote battery info will appear on the screen remote will stop working

I have rebooted the system and I have unpaired and repaired the remote, randomly the remote battery info will appear on the screen and at the same time the remote stops working.  

if I wait a while or remove a battery and put it back in it starts working again.   


I have the Roku app on my phone I’m going to try that also and by the way I cannot find the volume on the Roku app on my phone for the TV

      Post your model, software version, remote model and remote firmware version. Hopefully the engineers at Roku can find a pattern and fix this. It's more than likely a pairing issue-not battery related.
