I have an "issue" on my Ultra that has started in the last few days. In the upper right corner of the screen, it pops up the words "Remote Control?" and displays the battery charge. It pops it up there at what appears to be random times. Sometimes its 30 seconds or so apart then it stops for awhile. If I have the voice control button set to off, it starts popping up the "hands free voice is off" message instead. It's very distracting.
How do I fix it?

Hi, Community users!
Greetings from the Roku Community.
We're happy to announce that the frequent low-battery notifications you might have been seeing with your Roku voice remote have likely been fixed.

Troubleshooting Tips (in case you still need them):
Check and confirm your Roku voice remote's battery:
If the battery is below 15%, we recommend replacing or recharging it.
If you've confirmed the battery level is sufficient but continue to see low battery notifications, please follow these steps:
Restart your remote
If your rechargeable voice remote has a pairing button, press and hold the pairing button on the back of the remote for 20 seconds.
If your rechargeable voice remote doesn't have a pairing button, press and hold the Back and Home buttons on the Roku remote for 20 seconds.
Disable any extra remotes that are not in use in your TV settings.

It's back! The fix worked for a bit, now I have the same problem. The battery remote control battery notification keeps popping up every 5 seconds.
Hi @ajH20,
Greetings from the Roku Community!

I tried to hit the home button 5 times and then the back button 5 times and it did not work. I'm unable to find a tracker ID.
Hi @ajH20,
Thanks for the response!
We appreciate you providing your device information. However, we highly suggest doing it again later to get your Tracker ID. This time, try to hit the back button 5 times and the home button 5 times so we can send additional information for the investigation to our engineering team.
Let us know how it works.
All the best,
Chel
It's not working. The problem is persistent.
Thanks for keeping us posted, @ajH20
We see that you're unable to gather a Tracker ID. For the meantime, we recommend performing a system restart on your Roku device by navigating to Settings > System > Power > System Restart. After this, you can also unplug your Roku device from the power source for a minute, and then plug it back again.
If you're able to acquire a Tracker ID sometime later, kindly provide it here.
Best wishes,
Kash
