Billkaboo 0 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi all, I just turned on my shield yesterday morning, after no update that I know of, no changes since watching it the day before, and it completely had a mind of its own. Flicking between items, going up and down, into the menu and out, and more. See video attached. I unplugged it completely: power and HDMI. Issue remained... Not sure of settings and info (can't find the OS because I can't control it...) It's really quite annoying. Any suggestions appreciated. Best,Billkaboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi. There is no video but, is it possible your remote control is sitting under a heavy object or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billkaboo 0 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 Ah sorry no. The video shows me waving the remote, with no input going into it, while the problem is occurring. Will try and share the video link. Shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 If you set the remote down, how does that compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billkaboo 0 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 Started when I wasn't holding the remote. Here's the video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/tFyKf7eXDVsm6mFf6Should mention that the Shield remote has been lost for over a year now so I don't use that to interact with it. I use the TV's remote. Which is working just fine to control the TV otherwise and has been controlling the shield for well over a year with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 That's very strange. Never heard of that before. @@vdatanet have you seen this with your Shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 2.4ghz interference or degraded receiver. maybe the original shield remote that was lost... is in range where ever it got lost to.., and the batteries are low I have seen such behavior with wireless mice and remotes when bats are low or issue with receiver.

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Does your shield have a game controller that's leaning on something? An analog stick stuck out of center could do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
