Hi, @riddlegrad

Thanks for posting here in the Roku Community.

We appreciate you for providing the information we requested, and we'll forward it with the appropriate Roku team so it can be investigated further. One additional information we'd like to request is the Tracker ID when this issue occurs. (When you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID).

We look forward to hearing back from you.

All the best,
Kash

Re: ROKU reverts to Home Screen after 3 minutes with All Apps

Jump to solution

Doesn't matter which app I am using.  Once I start viewing anything in any app, I get booted back to the Home Screen after almost exactly 3 minutes.  Tested with half a dozen different apps.  Rebooted, and also powered off (unplugged from power) for 10+ minutes.  Don't have any desire to factory reset after seeing the number of people who have and haven't had it fix anything - as re-entering logon credentials for all of my streaming apps would be a nightmare.  The Roku and all of the apps I am using are fully updated.  I also tried switching between a wired (what I normally use) and a wireless connection - no change.  I do not have a MicroSD Card installed.

Started yesterday (12/12/2023) after one of those cryptic update messages like "Supercharging the flux capacitor" that don't tell you at all what is actually being updated.

Today Youtube goes to a black screen as soon as I click it. Then I hit the OK button and it goes to a small video (1/4 frame-ish) in the upper left, like I am on the desktop Youtube page. Then it does nothin.

Last night I gave up and used the apps in my Samsung tv. No issues. Also no voice commands. Le sigh.

Sure, when will I get my 1099 so I can claim the compensation you're going to send me?

Undo whatever you did. Problem solved. 

 

I'm going to start posting threads on all of the forums I belong to (all Gen X and Boomer heavy btw) and ask "is anyone having problems with their ROKU? Because the company expects YOU to help them, so please flood this page with comments."

Or..... undo the last update. We don't work for you bro and we paid for a product that worked.
