Hi all,
I can't control my Apple TV (3 generation) using quick remote with standard settings. Learn function doesn't work too, light blinks 3 times and nothing else happens. Tried hold menu and left but no progress.
Any thoughts?

I own several Fire sticks and a Fire TV. The mandatory intro video is super annoying and searching online, it seems as if no one was able to bypass the video. I finally figured out a quick and easy way to skip it. Simply enter a voice command with the Fire TV remote (if you have one) and then press the home button.
Don't have a remote with voice control? No problem. Download the Amazon Fire TV Remote App for your Android or IOS device and connect your phone or tablet to the same WiFi network. Now, begin setting up your Fire Stick. Once it's connected to WiFi, you'll be able to sync the two devices and use the phone or tablet as a remote. Now, when you get to the annoying intro video, pull down from the top of the remote app and do a voice search [for anything - I use "YouTube"]. When the device begins looking for it, you'll be able to exit the intro video with the home button.
Do you know any current ways that work to skip intro?
Hey do you know any current ways to skip the intro, thanks for the post but I can't get to work.
Me either
Just tried this and didn't work, you can though scroll the video across to the end if using the firetv app on Android phone.
Just tried all the above and none worked. Using the app to enter the device setting finally shut the annoying thing up though
It's in the 9 square grid between the pull down Microphone and the Keyboard icon.

Seems that recently my nexus player remote has just cropped out. Currently I'm using the android app as well as the HDMI-CEC functionality through the TV remote. Bluetooth on the player is functioning normally. The remote, no matter what, will not enter pairing mode when I hold the home and back buttons. The LED blinks three times in rapid succession and then nothing. Fresh batteries, nothing. Searched for it with other Bluetooth devices, nothing. What's up with my remote? Has this happened to anybody else? My player isn't even a year old yet :/
Did you find a solution to this? This just happened to me. Thought the batteries were dead but fresh batteries don't help.
Press and hold both the back button and the home key at the same time to enter pairing mode for the Nexus remote.
I've got the same problem, cant pair it anymore...

Try to install Android TV remote app from Google Play to your phone or tablet.
Hi Guys, After a random problem one day that included missing apps on the home screen and controller not functioning at all -- I did the following:
Memory card in card slot removed and re-inserted (32gb set as storage and many apps transferred to it freeing up the first 16gb). Rebooted shield and could now find apps , but controller was still only working via USB lead connected to Shield TV. Previously i had experienced similar problems and this had worked before, along with holding controller buttons for 20+ seconds to reset it.
Next step was:
I fully charged the controller as this had proved to be a problem a few times before when having strange controller issues. THIS WAS WHEN I REALISED the following also;
1) Had to input all account details again for Google account, Nvidia Account, You tube account, Steam account etc.etc..
2) Home button no longer works as the home button and also cannot double click to get the screen showing all open apps. It does make audio clicks as normal AND does show the streaming options/picture saving options when you long press it, (so the button is functioning of sorts.) I have since realised that the back button next to the Nvidia light button now works like the home button but you cannot double click it to show all open apps.
3) When I click on the google icon at the top left of the home screen next to the KB icon for voice searches. It does not work. ( though you tube speech searches work fine) It does accept searches after pressing the Nvidia button though when on the home screen.
4) The developer options in the settings menu were always on previously but, now it says that these options are on but "unavailable for this user" when pressed and are greyed out.
5) on/off sensor button on the top of the shield no longer works. (this is very similar to my wife Shield upstairs but hers is a 2017 model. She uses the remote or controller to turn off via the settings menu.
So......thinking of just resetting the Shield to factory settings and starting again but wanted advice before doing this and perhaps adding to the issues???
It seems to me that given all the different problems this is the only way??? My gut is actually telling me that it's an update that has happened and it has confused the 2017 model with mine???? or am I just seeing GHOSTS???
Any constructive advice would be appreciated.
Hi everybody
Suddenly the remote of my Chromecast 4 does not command the chromecast. I have found two solutions;
1) The first is remove the batteries of the remote while pressing home button and then insert the batteries until light flashes. But ligth don't flash in a gap of time of 5 minutoes . The green light is always on all the time
2) The most dangerous is reset the chromecast (In this case it won't be a trouble wether I have the control working but it does not work). I have two cell phones at home with Google tv control but I'm, afraid that if I made a hardware reset of the chromecast these android apps don't work and if remote does not work either I could not handle chromecast.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot
