Indicator light stays on after 11.5 update

Hello. After updating to Roku OS 11.5 my indicator light on my Roku Ultra stays on. It does this on both my Roku Ultra devices. What’s causing this?

Re: Indicator light stays on after 11.5 update

@matthewz48 

The older devices seem to have the light on when being used, and then the light will go off when it enters sleep/low-power mode.

Somewhere in the last release of devices, users started noticing either the light always staying on, or never being on even when in use. (some reported the occasional flashing when responding to a command from the remote).

Not sure if an answer was ever really provided on this behavior.  All my devices behave in the first scenario - light on when in use, light off when in sleep. (Two of my devices have 11.5, others still 11.0).

----

Although we have been suggesting to turn off the Power Savings Mode because of the various issues it seems to cause, perhaps you can try Enabling it and see if the light goes off.

Settings/System/Power/Auto Power Savings/20-min (Roku Ultra 480X models).

Just like I do when the Check Engine Light comes on in my truck, I find a piece of tape over that light will usually make the problem go away.

Since I updated to 11.5 my Roku ultra indicator light stays on even when it entered sleep rest mode so it’s a problem with the update I’m assuming and Roku needs to send out an update to fix this issue. Hopefully they do this sooner than later.

Since a couple of users are seeing this with the 11.5 update, will page @RokuMary-F , @RokuKariza-D , and @RokuDanny-R so they can be made aware.

Usually they will need the Roku model number, serial number of device, and the OS including build number.

All found in Settings/System/About.

ROKU ULTRA 4800 & 4802 Auto Power Savings not working since recent OS Update

Recently, on 10/11/22, an OS update took place, and since then, the "Auto Power Savings" feature isn't working. When I turn off my player, the light remains on and prior to this update, it would go off. Also, any 20 minutes of inactivity while on would turn it off, and that does not happen either. (Software 11.5.0/Build 4216)

I have the same issue. Light stays on almost all the time. Interestingly enough, my light will turn off for about 20 minutes when I turn all of my components off then turn back on and stay on. Perhaps it has something to do with CEC? My component chain is Roku to Denon Receiver to Vizio TV.
