Roku Ultra remote doing double click?

If that actually worked, it wouldn't do it again immediately after a restart.  Mine does this on both IR volume controls as well as play/pause Roku controls, at any point after a restart, after days, and at all times in between.  It isn't every press, but it's frequent.

      Same issue.  I've had the Roku Ultra for a little over a month now.  It was working fine until about a week ago when it started this annoying double, triple, and sometimes quadruple clicking.  One click on an arrow key results in random moves of 2. 3, or 4 positions.  It doesn't always happen, but it seems like every 5 or 10 clicks, the multiple click occurs.  It doesn't seem to matter if I'm clicking rapidly or clicking slowly, nor does it matter which arrow key I use, the multiple clicks randomly occur.

      I have tried rebooting the system and I've also cycled power.  Niether of those actions have fixed the problem.  It behaves like a switch contact that has a failed de-bounce circuit.  Roku owes its users a permanent fix.

      Same issue with Roku replacement remote I just bought recently (Roku Voice Remote Pro). You hit a button once and it behaves as if you clicked it twice.  Very annoying when scrolling through channels.  If you google this, it seems to be a problem with a lot of Roku users.  Is there a fix?

      Mine has started this issue as well 

      3820R2

      takes 2 to power up 

      takes 2 to select anything 

      now if I hit twice then keep going it’s one per move but if I wait more than a couple seconds then it’s 2 clicks to initiate 

      it started about two weeks ago

        Hi, Optimus-Prime 

        Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

        I understand the issue you have encountered with your Roku remote that double clicks, and I'm here to help.

        Let's perform a troubleshooting step to resolve the issue. Follow the steps below:

        Restart your Roku remote

        1. If your rechargeable voice remote has a pairing button, press and hold the pairing button on the back of the remote for 20 seconds.
        2. If your rechargeable voice remote does not have a pairing button, press and hold the Back and Home for 20 seconds.

        Initiate Pairing Mode

        1. Restart your streaming device to enter pairing mode. Unplug the Roku device for 15 seconds, and plug it again.
        2. When your streaming device is powered on, it will automatically enter pairing mode 
        3. If the remote does not initiate pairing, you can press the Home and Back button for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode.

        For more information, you can visit this support article on How to fix your Roku voice remote that is not working

        Hope this helps, and let us know on what you find out.

        Thanks,

  • I have a solution here! 

    It's not Roku's issue. It's the Samsung TV issue. Samsung TV remote performs those extra clicks automatically as it's set up as a universal remote control for Roku. I personally have an S95D. I've heard people had the same issue with different models. 

    To fix it, go to Home -> Connected Devices -> Universal Remote Setup -> Select Roku -> Remove

    Ads are not going to play automatically anymore, apps are not going to install automatically anymore, you will not have to click five times just to perform the same action anymore. 

    Please vote this post up if it worked for you, so other people can find this post faster.
