Remotes

[FunkyDuck]

I just purchased TWO Voice Remote Pro 2nd Edition with the USB charging and they've been plugged in for 3 days and STILL haven't finished charging.    Instructions say the light should go from blinking white to green and it's not doing it.  Instructions say it should take about 5 hours.   Roku support is ZERO helpful.  Anybody else experience this?  Are these unit's just **bleep**?

Hi, @FunkyDuck, thank you for posting here in the Roku Community! 

We appreciate you taking the time to inform us about the issue with the Roku Voice Remote Pro 2nd edition. We are here to assist you. First, could you please confirm whether the problem occurred with both of the remotes? Also, could you provide us with the details of when and where you purchased the remote?

We also suggest resetting your Roku remote by pressing and holding the Back and Home buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds.

If the issue persists, please provide the following information to assist you further:

• Roku device model (where your remote is paired), serial number, device ID, and OS version. (this can all be found in Settings > System > About) 

We would recommend trying to see if that resolves your issue. Please keep us posted.

Thanks,

My recharge port wears out very quickly only averaging about 4 to 6 months and then it’s no good and won’t recharge anymore. Very poor quality. I’ve had to buy five of these already. I’m ready to switch to a different stream service because of the poor quality remote

I have tried all the things that you have listed and using a different charger List Paired with Roku ultra just seems like I have to buy a new one every six months. I have four of them here and the charging port just goes bad no matter what charging cord I use

Still ongoing.   Anybody out there ACTUALLY own the Voice Remote Pro 2nd Edition?   What's your charging experience like.   Roku Support Chat told me the problem was I bought them from Amazon.   So, I returned the two from Amazon and BOUGHT DIRECTLY from Roku.   Same issue.  White light just keeps on blinking and never goes solid.   What the heck am I missing here?  I performed remote reset action and no change.   Does the remote have to be paired before it functions properly?   I also replaced the charging adapters to make sure they met specifications, but interestingly Roku support is UNABLE to recommend which charging adapter THEY SELL that is compatible.
