zeldar Posted April 10 Report Posted April 10 I've had a skip for a year or so now and it's been pretty solid. In the past week or so, I'm having a minor issue where the remote seems to go to sleep. The first button press does nothing (the activity 'A' led doesn't even light up). A second button press wakes it up and the remote functions as normal. But ~30 seconds of inactivity and right back to sleep. Was there a new update that caused this? Quote
ytsejam1138 Posted April 10 Report Posted April 10 (edited) The batteries are probably low or at least one of them is low. When this happens to me, I usually find one battery is good and the other is completely drained. Edited April 11 by ytsejam1138 1 Quote

I had actually tested the batteries days ago thinking that might be the case but they both tested with about half juice remaining. Your comment made me try new batteries and that seems to have fixed the issue. So thanks! Still kinda lame that this happens with batteries that are still perfectly fine. Quote
clcorbin Posted November 27 Report Posted November 27 (edited) How fast does this thing go through batteries? My remote is doing the same thing and I am on the second set of Duracell batteries in 9 months. Is my expectations out of line? Given how slow humans are, I would assume this thing would be a sleep until we press a button, wake up enough to register the press, send the button press, go back to sleep until the next button press needed to be sent or until the button was released. And it should be able to come out of deep sleep in miliseconds. The only way the weird behavior makes sense is if it is intentional to let us know the batteries are getting weak. If so, not a fan. How about an option for it to act like other remotes and just stop working when the batteries are flat? Update: And I checked the batteries. ~1.14V each. New batteries were at ~1.66V.
