Re: Roku remote draining batteries
I looked at my up time in the settings and it showed over 15 hours of uptime. That was first thing in the morning and it should have been off overnight. I restarted it and checked the uptime and it had reset to 1 min or so. So I set my settings to turnoff or standby all items connected.

Re: Roku remote draining batteries
My 3810x recently began exhibiting the same behavior. I've always powered it through the wall outlet.

I don't know why he doesn't just include this info in his boilerplate suggestion to PM him.
To send @RokuDanny-R a private message click on his name here or in one of his posts to bring up his profile, then click the purple "Send this user a private message" button (on a narrow display you may have to scroll down to see the button).
Note: You can only send a PM if you have not UNchecked "Turn on private messages" in your own profile settings (Settings > Preferences > Private messenger). Click on your avatar image near the upper right corner of the page to go to your profile.

Re: Remote is draining batteries
I have the Roku Ultra, the remote batteries drain weekly, is there anything I can do to make this stop, right now I have resorted to removing the batteries when not in use.
