Remotes

[MDDK]

I've tried everything and batteries still don't last for more than a few days. Is the only option to get a different roku device?

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your patience while we investigated this issue regarding remote battery drain on Streaming Stick+ (3810).

We have released an update to your remote that we believe will address the issue you are experiencing. Please perform a system restart from your Roku device. This will update your remote to the latest version. This can be done by navigating to Settings > System > System Restart. After you perform the system update, continue to use your device as normal and monitor the remote battery percentage listed under Settings > Remotes > About. Additionally, if you had moved your Roku device power source to a wall outlet to help address this problem, you may now reconnect the USB cable to your TV's USB port if preferred. 

Please let us know if you notice any improvements in battery life or if the issue is persisting.

Thanks,
Danny

It seems like Roku is going to loose lots of customers because of this remote issues

I think we should all get the next upgraded version gratis… heck, even TCL is going with GoogleTV as an alternative platform. Not to be a negative Nancy but this thread is 50 pages long and we get the “we’re looking into it” response. 😒
