Re: UPDATE---Re: Voice remote not working unless plugged in/charging issue

@hollowch, does the "old" remote work with the new Ultra?  Does the remote you got with the new Ultra work with the old Ultra?  Just wondering if it's really the old Ultra that's the problem.

Hi Community users!

We sincerely appreciate you getting in touch with us and apologize for any delay in our response. 
 
If you are experiencing the following issues with your Roku Voice Remote Pro:
  1. Will not charge
  2. Only powers on when plugged into an outlet
  3. Does not turn on or work
  4. Not holding a charge - This includes cases where the device loses charge within a day or two after being fully charged and unplugged.
Here are some steps you can follow:
  • Test with different power outlets, micro USB cables, and USB chargers.
  • Reset the remote: Press and hold the Back/pairing button and Home buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds. For detailed instructions on how to reset the remote, you can refer to this support link: How to fix your Roku voice remote that is not working | Roku.
If the problem continues after trying the troubleshooting steps, please send me a Private Message with the necessary details:
 
  1. Serial number of the Roku player this remote is paired to.
  2. Is this the remote that came with that device? If not, kindly specify if this is a Voice Remote Pro or Voice Remote Pro (2nd edition).
  3. When and where did you purchase this?
To send a PM, please select my username, view my profile, and then click on "Send this user a private message" on the right side of the page.
