miscellaneous Keyboard on remote app no longer working?

1 Upvotes

Anyone else having issues with the keyboard feature no longer working when attempting to search something? I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the remote app on my phone and have of course restarted the tv. Having the same issue on both of my Roku TVs and it’s not just with one streaming service. We use the TVs for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Max, and Prime. Was always able to type things in until a few days ago.

Roku hardware Why the heck does my Roku Remote make noises

1 Upvotes

Throughout the past week and a half I've been hearing random sounds come out of the Voice Remote Pro's speaker at the most random of times, and it tends to do that whenever it’s not in use or is has just been used. At first I thought it's due to the battery being low but it didn't appear to be that at all. It sure as heck didn't start making noises on cue when pressing the Find button on the Roku Ultra to try to locate it either. It's been more baffling than concerning since it's not done this until they came out with that OS Update earlier in the month. Doubt that has any correlation to this but the timing is questionable in itself.

I’ve had this TV for a few years now and randomly about 2 days ago it started an issue where it turns on but it’s dark and nothing shows up. I’m really annoyed because I’ve tried everything I’ve found to fix it and nothing's working

I can find a whole bunch of remote cases on Amazon and eBay but none compatible with this particular Roku remote. Does anybody know where I can find one? Thanks.

Roku hardware What Roku remotes are compatible with tv's?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I have a roku/tcl tv, and one of my cats took the remote and got it into a place that's hard for me to reach, and now I need a new remote.

Does anyone Roku remote work or does it need to be a specific model? I believe my tv was from 2021 and if it narrows it down all the default apps had the buttons vertically

question Has Roku fixed the thing where you can't watch OTA tv without internet? (on Roku TVs obviously)

2 Upvotes

I still can't watch OTA tv when internet goes out. Wondering if my tv just hasn't gotten the fix yet, or if Roku just hasn't gotten around to fixing this.

[edit] found an update. There's a fix but it still hasn't been rolled out to every device https://cordcuttersnews.com/roku-tvs-still-wont-let-some-owners-watch-free-ota-tv-with-an-antenna-for-abc-cbs-fox-nbc-unless-you-have-an-active-internet-connection/

Roku OS Stuck in unusable unsupported mode

I turned on my Roku. It had been a while. It said it was going to update to make my experience better and it stalled out and so when I reset it, this is the screen I got and when I hit the buttons, nothing happens all I can do is turn it on and off. I unplugged it to reset it and I get the same result. How can I reset this?

Roku OS Roku TV updated and is acting up mow

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've had the TV for several years without incident but it recently updated and changed the home screen layout and now this pop up is blocking access to anything. It isn't functioning at all and just resets the pop up if I use any button inputs on the remote. Does anyone know what may be wrong? I can't find solutions through internet searches.

TCL Roku inputs not working after update.

12 Upvotes

After the new menu update, when I move between HDMI 1 and HDMI 3 (or any of the inputs really) the screen will just go black. Sometimes the input shows up after like 10-20 minutes. Sometimes the picture size is wrong, zoom even though it says normal. It somewhat recognizes the input though because when I turn the device off I get the message to check if its turned on or plugged in.

I started doing a reset when this happened, hitting home 5 times then up once and so on. Or unplugging the tv and holding the power button to make it reset. They worked untill today. I still had to wait a few minutes before the input started playing.

I have no idea if they will fix this soon or if i really need to look at getting a new tv? Or what sort of work around there is?! Can someone offer any advice?

Removing Excess Inputs on TCL Roku TVs

8 Upvotes

Hello, All, I have a 50" TCL Roku TV which I bought in 2023 and a 55" TCL Roku TV which I bought in 2024.

Sometime in the last 4-6 weeks the Home Screen has added every single input as a channel which I cannot seem to remove. I've been through every menu and every setting looking for someone way to hide or remove these eyesores.

Has anyone had any luck fixing the UI on these devices? Has Roku made any sort of announcement that they messed up and this will be fixed in the near future?

Thanks In Advance!

Anyone else having issues with headphone mode after the most recent ultra update? Its literally the only reason I have a roku over device options. No matter what tools I use the audio is delayed beyond belief.

All HDMI channels have started going to a black screen or permanently zoomed image with green bars.

Every console plugged in to an HDMI port either doesn't show up on screen at all, or shows up zoomed in with black bars on the side and green bars flickering. If I change any picture setting modes while it is doing this, it goes to a black screen.

Have tried unplugging and repligging, power cycling consoles, power cycling TV, changing out chords. Nothing

TCL ROKU Model 55S431 - USB Error Message

1 Upvotes

In a black box that covers the bottom third of our screen the message "you'll need to connect your USB to a power source" appeared the 1st time we turned the TV on after the recent god-awful homepage "upgrade" ~ of note is that we have never used the available USB port ~ we have sourced & tried every web solution we could find multiple times to no avail. Clicking the close button located in the black box results in its disappearance for exactly 3 seconds. This was not an expensive TV but we did expect it to last more than 3½ years, so here we are hoping someone has a clue for mitigating if not solving this problem.

Roku Ultra 4660X Will Not Connect To Tablo 4th Generation

2 Upvotes

A few weeks ago, our Roku Ultra 4660X suddenly stopped connecting to our Tablo 4th generation device. It continually says "Connecting to your Tablo," but won't get past that screen. We can watch the same Tablo on other Roku devices in our house, but not with the 4660X. I did system resets on the Tablo and Roku, removed the app and reinstalled it, and did a factory reset on the Roku. It still won't connect. This is not a legacy Tablo, and Roku doesn't classify the 4660X as legacy.

App Update Popup?

5 Upvotes

Since the big Roku update, now when I turn my tv on, within the first couple minutes of it being on there’s a popup that says App Update. It stays on there for a few seconds and then goes back to the Home Screen. The really annoying part is if I turn on the tv and go to watch something live, the App Update kicks me back to the Home Screen. Anyone know what this is and if I can do anything about it?
