I have this problem, I changed batteries and it shows full charge, but remote won’t work, Roku app works fine, but not remote. Turned wifi off and on, reset roku box etc...still no good

Okay. It's been six days since RokuTannerD assured me that one of their folks was going to reach out to me on this issue. And, just like time I got such a promise.... I've heard nothing from them. I don't know why they don't just say they haven't a clue how to fix the issue nor why they continue to promise a level of support/assistance they have no intention of actually providing.

I have the exact same problem as well.  I’ve already received a replacement remote and it didn’t fix it.

That's not very reassuring as I am currently awaiting a replacement remote! I will post my experience (good or bad) after receiving the replacement.

Hi Connie. I can feel your pain. That said.... what you describe sounds (to me, anyway) like a wifi issue, not a Roku issue. If the phone cannot find the Roku - and you cannot change channels on the Roku - that sounds like the Roku is not connected to your wifi. I'm not a network engineer so don't take this as gospel, but I suspect that either your wifi is down (easy to check - can you access any internet site with a computer or your phone with the phone's data connection turned off?) or the Roku needs to be reconnected to the wifi (settings menu).

Regardless, I doubt the connection issue is related to the constant battery icon issue.

Good luck!
