Apps stopping randomly and returning to roku home

I recently purchased a new roku ultra from day one the apps have randomly stopped and retuned to the roku main home page. I have checked all the settings be sure to turn off any power saving options on the roku as well as on n the settings of the apps. I have even tried  a factory reset and then checking the power saving options again to make sure they are all turned off but the apps are still stopping randomly for no reason. Yes I have checked my internet and it is working fine it is not turning off or restarting or anything like that. This is extremely annoying I am ready to return this dang thing and go back to the junk software that came in my tv

Re: Apps stopping randomly and returning to roku home

You may have just received a lemon.  The only thing I could suggest is to try a wired connection if possible.  If exchanging it is easy, you might want to go that route.

Re: Apps stopping randomly and returning to roku home

Some apps, like all programs, are more buggy than others. ESPN+ for me tends to restart/reboot the Roku from time to time - it's just a glitchy app. If it's happening constantly then maybe there is more going on.

Re: Apps stopping randomly and returning to roku home

I too would try wired to see if it’s a “wi-Fi issue”.  Make sure to keep track of your store’s exchange/return period so you can get it back within that time.  It sounds like you’re probably at no more than day 2 or 3, so probably fine.  I would exchange it and see if has the same problem.

Banned but back. Because why not?
