55" Ultra Plus TV Bluetooth Pairing Issues

I'm having the same issue with 55" Ultra Roku TV.  Each time I turn on the TV, I have to go to Settings, Power, Reset to boot it back to the dancing Roku before it will connect to headphones

Re: 55" Ultra Plus TV Bluetooth Pairing Issues

Hi RokuJechealR;

 

Here is the information below and I can offer some additional insight to help:

 

Purchased a second identical unit this evening from another store and the same exact issue is happening – but noticed an additional behavior to help.

Steps to Reproduce Issue:

  1. Pair AirPods Pro Series 2 (happens with Series 1 too) to the Roku TV and they connect and all good.
  2. Turn off the TV and at about an hour later, go back and turn on TV
  3. The paired Air pods are gone like they never were paired.
  4. Go back to home, Open lid of AirPods and then go back and TV does see them – BUT is unable to connect to them.
  5. Power-Cycle TV either by unplugging or in System, Power, Restart
  6. They show up and work perfectly
  7. Turn off TV and come back later – problem is back.

 

Information regarding TV:

 

AirPods Pro Series 2

Re: 55" Ultra Plus TV Bluetooth Pairing Issues

Thank you much, RokuJechealR

 

I truly appreciate the attention on this and your help.  Your products are typically excellent and I think this is a wider issue that if corrected quickly, will prevent folks from returning their TVs.

The Plus series is perceived here as a premium/upscale version and getting this addressed will be good.

If you need anything from me to help test or provide information – I will support.  Spent many years as a software developer when I was younger.

 

If a patch/update is distributed, I can quickly test it and provide a response here to you too.

 

Hoping for a fix soon 😊

 

Thank you again,

-Scott
