Remote Control Battery Pop Up

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?

 

Model: 4802RW - Roku Ultra

SN: X0100015MN8N

Software: 12.5.0  build 4178-C2

Device ID: S0DC2365MN8N

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.

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

Re: Remote Control notification with battery keeps popping up

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
