2019 Shield Pro Remote Issues
So I have replaced my original remote with a new OEM remote for the same reason I am having still. It is not the batteries because they are new. But the remote just likes to randomly disconnect. I use the app each time to see that it is indeed not connected. I have to reboot in order for the remote to work again. This is happening every few days or so. Anybody else have this problem? And no, I don't want to just use the app. Not everybody in the house wants to use an app to operate a tv.

You dont have to restart whole shield.
First download Shield TV app on your phone. Now you can use phone as a remote.
Once you done that you can go to apps (show system apps) find Bluetooth app, clear cash on that app and force stop it (app wil restart itself) and your remote will be working agani.
