Q: 4th Gen Apple TVRemoteWon't Hold a charge
Recently my ATV 4 remote has started completely discharging in only a few days, rather than the many weeks promised, and as it has recently Is anyone else having this problem?
I called Apple Help and they sent me a brand new replacement. It works fine in all ways except it also won't hold a charge for more than about a week or so. I found it completely discharged this evening, such that it wouldn't work at all, even though I fully charged it about two weeks ago.
It's now apparent this must not be the fault of the remote, but perhaps some interplay between it and the Apple TV itself. Could it have to do with some Bluetooth issue? In the ATV's menu I did see that it had detected the Bluetooth input to my TV, but was not connected. Is it trying to connect and wasting power? I don't use direct Bluetooth control of the TV, but control it via the Apple TV 4 using the CEC-HDMI capabilities which work well.
I've had the ATV 4 for nearly a year. It has always worked well, and this remote discharge problem only started a few weeks ago. I have made no system changes before this problem showed up.
Any ideas on why two remotes in a row are seeing this problem in my system?
