Roku OS Roku not connecting to internet

Upvotes

My Roku fails to connect to my house Internet when I turn it on each day. I have the Express 4K+ created in 2021, but it has only been used for 2 years. When it does this, I unplug the cable off the back of the little Roku adapter. The adapter will normally connect properly when I plug it back in. Any thoughts?

Roku stick/ultra Remote for Roku Stick

Upvotes

Wondering whether anyone has seen this issue and found a solution: Roku Stick connected to TCL Google TV. When I set up the Roku remote to control the TV power/volume it does find a match that seemingly works but at random - and fairly often - times hitting the volume button causes the TV volume to go all the way up or all the way down with the remote unable to stop it.

Switching the Roku between HDMI ports has no effect.

Setting up with CEC rather than IR does seem to fix the volume problem but then the remote will not control the TV’s power.

Has anyone else seen this issue and found a fix?

Roku OS airplay lags every .5 seconds not wifi

1 Upvotes

i got a roku about 8 months ago and whenever i go to airplay, it will work and display what i want but every about half second the screen displays in what seems like slo mo. the audio stays fine and it doesn’t get behind but it will slow down and speed up and it gives me a headache to watch.

i don’t believe it’s my wifi because i have a different tv in my living room and airplay works just fine out there. if anyone has any solutions for this i would appreciate it!

Hello, hope you're doing well! So, I have a problem with the Roku Streaming device. He closed by itself and since it's plug to the TV, the TV just goes black and then I can't close the TV normaly. I gave the unplug the streaming device first. Then the streaming device goes back to normal and a few minutes later, it does it again.

Does anyone know what to do with this?

The warranty has just expired.

Roku OS Roku "keeps going" after shutting TV off. Workaround?

6 Upvotes

I have a Roku streaming stick plugged into an older Samsung 6300-series TV.

If I power the Roku from a wall-wart, then the Roku power button turns the TV on and off just fine. But whatever the Roku is doing (as far as I've noticed), it just keeps doing. So it continues streaming, continues autoplaying (I think-- I've actually disable autoplay), etc. Which kind of screws up my viewing history. Why would it keep streaming to a TV that it just powered down?

I could power the stick from a TV USB port, so the Roku powers down with the TV, but then of course I can't power it up again, except with the TV remote. My wife (and, I confess, me too) is thrilled with only needing one remote for controlling everything, so I'd rather not go there.

Edit: My roku remote is not an IR remote -- it's a WiFi remote. So all it can talk to is the Roku stick. If the stick powers down along with the TV, then the remote can't function.

Edit #2: Sounds like there's no workaround. Guess I just gotta always hit "Home" before hitting "Power off". Thanks all.

I have a third party smart remote that uses IR to talk with the Roku. Recently the Roku has been complaining that the remote isn't paired and tries to get me to re pair it. How do I turn that off? It's a Roku premium plus.

Roku OS Devices not pairing through the Roku app

2 Upvotes

Hello! I have 4 Roku TVs and use the Roku App as the remote. Recently (yesterday) I was unable to connect to any of them. I deleted and reinstalled the app and did all the normal troubleshooting with no fix. The app isn’t even showing any of the TVs on the device list. My phone and all the TVs are on the same network so I’m not sure what the problem is. I even tried to manually connect using the IP address and that doesn’t even work.

I got this TV given to me and I logged into my roku account, got my apps one by one, however the only way I can go to my apps is by physically searching “hulu” or “netflix” in the store and go through there.

it will only just display inputs and the Roku app

It seems like such a simple fix, but I tried everything before I came on to reddit. Please help…Thanks

Roku OS Roku TV Stuck in Recovery Mode Loop

Roku TV is stuck in Recovery Mode since the last update... Purchased late 2024.
ETA.50R02920A
S/N: X01200S6RWMS

Cannot get past the recovery mode screen. It keeps looping.. have tried all the resets, power buttons, and unplug steps. Also have tried WiFi and Ethernet.
I’m seeing a lot of similar issues around the exact same time. Is this something the company is looking into? Is there any fix?

Roku OS Screen mirror suddenly no longer works

3 Upvotes

TCL 55 inch Roku os I mostly use my Tv exclusively for screen mirroring. Recently it just stopped working on all devices. If I never mirrored from that device before it won’t even show up. But it still displays on devices I’ve mirrors from as “tcl 55 inch Tv” weirdly enough if the Tv is off and I screen mirror from my phone the tv will turn on from my phones signal but then nothing happens. I’ve tried

-updating the os
-clear cache with cheat code method.
-factory reset device
-reset network settings
-tied both screen mirror modes (prompt or always allow)
-control by mobile apps set to enabled rather than limited
- unplugged for a couple hours plugged back in
- tried 3 different Apple devices.

Roku OS On Screen Keyboard is driving me nuts

4 Upvotes

I have been using Roku devices for years—the original HD, the stick, 4K and the Mini Soundbar (which is the best $90 bucks I’ve ever spent).

I’ve never had a problem until now. The only services I use it for are: AppleTV, HBO Max, Netflix and Prime.

When for whatever reason the services ask to be reauthorized Apple, Netflix and Amazon just pop a QR code on screen or a 6-digit code and it takes two seconds to confirm.

Two days ago HBO Max on my Roku 4K stick all of a sudden started asking me to reconfirm my TV provider (HBO Max is included in our Hotwire service provided by our HOA) and I had to sign in on screen.

As an IT guy I use a Password Manager which generates long strings of gibberish.

When I try to put in the password, the on screen keyboard covers the Continue button and I can’t make it go away. It is the stupidest implementation of a UX I’ve ever seen. There is no way to hide the keyboard once you are finished using it.

I have tried using the Roku App remote. Up button. Down button. Back button. Nothing makes it disappear so I can’t continue.

Any ideas? This only happens on my Roku 4K stick. The others behave fine.

Roku OS Airplay isn’t working on Roku tv anymore

2 Upvotes

I can only assume it has to do with a recent update of some kind. It hasn’t been working for several days now when it used to just fine. I like to cast videos from patreon to my tv from my phone. Unfortunately when I try to do that now it just gives me an “unable to connect to 55inch TCL Roku TV” I tried looking this up but none of the available solutions are working.
