Shield TV remote taking incorrect commands

by ohgodwhyo

Hey!

In the last few days/weeks I noticed that my Shield TV remote is taking incorrect commands. I don't have to do anything and it adjusts the volume although the only thing I do is holding it in my hand. Furthermore it sometimes takes double taps on the main button although I cleary push only once. Because of this misbehavior it sometimes starts the music even if I didn't intend to do so and don't even know how I did it as it also happens in apps (for example Kodi).

I have already tried resetting it via holding the back and home button but nothing changed.

Any other advice?

Best regards!

RMA your remote. The Shield TV Remote is notoriously fragile/buggy (I would say it's a POS personally). I'm already on my third and it's starting to act up too, and I'm not at all someone who mistreats its electronics...

This happens to me all the time. It selects things I don't want and so on.

I have found that it happens when the remote gets grimy. Eating or sweating while using it are culprits.

I wash my hands and wipe the remote down real good with a clean cloth. Really get on it. You may want to unplug the SATV while you do this to prevent selecting random stuff.

Same issue here, and recently as well. I'll try the cleaning method (although mine is pristine).

It is buggy. Wish I could use my Boxee Box remote on the Shield..
