So here's the deal. I turn on ouya, try to turn on controller, lights blink but it never connects. It just stated this out of the blue. I can use a usb keyboard and USB mouse to move around the launcher but can't select anything such as settings with them. I switched batteries out with fresh batteries and pushed them in snug. I've tried several reboots, I've tried turning it on and off without the USB devices plugged in. The date and time are all jacked up on it now and there's nothing I can do to force it to connect or select a menu. I got the controller to pair over Bluetooth with my phone, but I cant get the phone to find the ouya though. I have it rooted through wonderekin's method and the mod list installed along with a custom ouya launcher. But this problem just started today. No issues til now. Any help?

I've searched all over the web and can't find an issue like this where the controller just won't connect. Its driving me crazy. If I could just get the damn thing to factory reset I would try that, but the mouse, keyboard, and controller are all basically useless. I just get a launcher I can move around the main screen but cant relay any button presses via mouse and kb to select anything. I found some method involving a USB keyboard and pressing alt and systreq (print) button but it never worked. I think the thing just wouldn't recognize the button presses.

It happened to me few times. What I do is open ouya launcher, go to controller section of ouya settings and then long press the ouya black button until the two central leds are on (pairing mode), after few seconds the controller pair.
To move on the ouya launcher I use a logitech usb mouse and I'm able to click on menus.
I am looking to consolidate my TV remote, keyboard, + FireTV remote to one remote with keyboard + IR controls for my dumb TV power + volume. What is everyone else using? Recommendations?
I've been eyeing the Aerb MX3 and MeLE F10 Deluxe. I'm leaning towards the Aerb because it allows the IR buttons to be used without switching to a TV remote mode. I'm nervous about the air mouse kicking on all the time and selecting things I didn't intend to.
Which one did you get? I just ordered the aerb mx3 as am hoping it works good with stb emulator and am happy that it can turn the tv off and on too.. will do up a review after i get it.
I use a harmony smart keyboard. It can send IR to TV and pairs with FireTV using bluetooth. I also have the basic remote. So I use the basic remote 90% of the time but when I need a keyboard and mouse I use that.
I have the F10 Deluxe and love it to death, but it took some keymap editing to get the thing to stop being more of an annoyance than a help, so if you're not rooted/can't root I really wouldn't bother. If you ARE rooted, however, it's pretty amazing. The keyboard's pretty responsive, the air mouse does what it should and only after I turn it on, and being able to charge it by micro USB is a huge plus in my book. I haven't touched the stock remote in almost two months now and I really don't have any complaints.
For anyone interested in it, here's my modified .kl file for the F10 Deluxe. I fixed the mapping for the home and menu buttons, remapped prev/next track to rewind/fast forward, and removed the F10, F11, and F12 mappings for My Box, STB, and TV respectively. If you don't change those last three mappings then any time you press any of those buttons you will minimize or close your current app, which is a real pain when you just wanted to click the TV button to adjust volume.
I was wondering do any of these remotes work on the fire stick since there's no USB port?
that would be a no. oth of these require a USB dongle..
Also. I got the MX3.. dont get it, it sucks.
air mouse mode turns itself on every time the remote wakes from being dormant.. the OK button does not work for most apps unless mouse mode is turned back off.. super annoying.
the back button has the wrong mapping for the fire tv. acts likes a mouse click. - deal breaker
If you're rooted you can remap the keys and i suppose it would be better, but you will still have the problem of the thing activating mouse mode every time you touch a button after it has been dormant for a bit..
that's a bit discouraging ... this morning I'd been eyeing the bluetooth/IR Aerb IBK02
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M32PBXO/
(and there seem to be a ton of clones of this, under the usual names like FAVI -- all of them cost more, some even 2x as much lolol. always have to wonder which is the original, which has better guts, which has better quality/durability keys & touchpad, etc. etc.)
and there was one other BT/IR one I saw today, but it seemed a bit forgettable and overpriced, so I can't remember the brand/model.

I also get tempted by ones like this BT/IR, every now and then:
http://www.amazon.com/Unisen-USA-iPazzPort-Commander-KP-810-18BR-Programmable/dp/B00AQHXQLC/
again, 7 million different brands and clones and variations: RF, BT, IR, laser pointer...
the one I used to have was a Rii (was that the original company for this style?) - bluetooth+laser, it worked rather well, then after a month or two (hoever long just past the return-period expired) some of the bubble-contact-things on the PCB became permanently crunched and there was no way to recover them.
(I actually still have the thing - the charging circuit still works and the laser still works
but also BIG WARNING: the Rii I had worked great with OUYA - but it never paired once with fireTV (that annoying PIN-code-swap-fail many of us have cursed about so many, many times...)
ended up ordering the Aerb IBK-02. because reasons.
no real review yet, giving it a couple hours to charge. at which point I'll complain more or some junk
but -
k, it now claims charged, which is probably a lie, but I turned it on and played a little -
chiclet keys, I can live with. the board itself is very flexy and not solid. but key presses feel much more durable than those mini Rii/FAVI type tiny ones.
- plus: finally micro-usb! we are out of the mini-usb age!
- minus: 250mah battery. seriously??!? this may require some rocket-surgery, I have 400mah batteries small enough to fit in there.
- super-minus: the IR keys go, in order left-to-right: vol- , chan-, "ok", chan+ , vol+ ...... what in the unholy ever-living ****??!?
- minus: incomprehensible "manual" (plus I literally needed a magnifying glass to read some of it...) eh ok I'll figure it all out eventually.
- PLUS!!!: the bizarre manual mentioned the usual about possibly needing to enter PIN codes to pair, which was not encouraging. BUT! using settings.apk, it paired and connected immediately with no problem. both kbd and touchpad working great. BONANZA!!!
time for lunch, so I'll comment back later about getting the IR keys working with the TV (or not, lol)

oh, the other IR keys at the top of the trackpad (the ones I'd mentioned are at the bottom) are:
I/O aka power, "A/T" (input?), MENU, M (??!?)
but s'posedly the thing can simply learn (as apposed to "programming" standard remote codes), so you have, like, a total of 9 buttons to assign any IR function you feel like.
we shall see, but for now, lunch.
yeah... long lunch.
so - the IR key programming is pretty easy, but as the tiny-printed tiny-manual sez, you really do have to get your remote right up next to the IR radiator on the kbd - a couple times the programming failed but I think it was just pilot error me not holding the remote close/aligned enough to the kbd. I managed to program on/off and volume and input - all working well enough now, and that's all I needed.
the IR keys are active / work, even if the main power / BT switch is set to OFF. which is unexpectedly sensible/clever.
I've been having this weird issue with my firestick and buttons being pressed a bunch of times. So for instance if I press the left arrow it will press it like ten times. If I press ok it'll press it like 4 times. I'm not sure if it's a connection issue (my wifi router is located very close to this device) or what. My daughter has one (which made me want to get one) and it works fine everything is the same in our setups except I'm using a different skin. Going back to confluence did seems to fix it a bit but I'm not sure need to do more testing. The skin I was using is kodi eminence. Any help with this would be great.
Volume up on my shield controller sometimes doesn't work, volume down will still work though. This is definitely a software issue because I got a replacement unit because v1.4 OTA bricked my original one and both do it, I also got another controller with the replacement and that does it too.
Does anyone else experience this?

It did for me but seems more reliable after the recent mm and accessories update

My original controller that came with the Shield TV with Lollipop touch buttons, the touch buttons wasn't working so I did an RMA. The replacement controller with KitKat touch buttons worked but the volume buttons didn't or sometimes did, so I sent that back and got replacement and the new controller is doing the same thing you mentioned. When I put the controller down and use the volume buttons they work but when I'm holding the controller they don't and sometimes do. I can't be bothered sending it back again I just put the volume to fixed output. I'll just use the TV volume instead.

Yes I have this exact same issue. It will lower the volume fine but every once in a while won't turn UP the volume. Annoying. Just downloaded the latest MM update so looking forward to seeing if that resolves it...
Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this, it drives me nuts because there's no other way to turn the sound up if it goes down when you're playing something, you have to go into settings. Also my controllers seem to be insomniacs and narcoleptics at the same time. Sometimes they'll stay on for an hour even if I haven't touched them in 45 minutes, other times they'll shut off after 15 minutes!
Same issue here :/
I have the same issue, with both versions (kk / jb buttons) of the game pad. Usually if I glide my thumb across the volume bar a few times not applying pressure, it will fix it. Strange.
If anyone has disassembled the controller's, is there a thin foil(ish) strip on the back of the volume bar?
Also iirc, the problem was more persistent for mine during cold temperatures.
same here
actually i'm having issue with volume AND soft keys(to get to home i have to tap multiple time,sound feedback but no effect the first 5-6 times)

Same problem with both version of controller. I think it's exactly the same version but with a more recent button for MM version. I have the issue with volume down, up, home, etc...
My Moto 360 is about 2 and a half years old. All of a sudden, the touch screen has mostly stopped responding. I can't get into Settings to power it down and see if that resolves the issue. I can sometimes get the top menu to pull down and once got into Settings using two fingers, then eventually to the Systems button, but couldn't get it to go to the Power Off. Sometime last week, I noticed that the watch wasn't going to the old dock face while on the charger. There was a tiny charging icon at the top, so I figured it was part of the latest update. The watch has been charging and working normally since then, up until today, that is. I'm not getting the little icon on the charger, but the charger light is going on. Haven't left the watch on the charger long enough to know if it's done any good.
Now, I can press the side button to get to the app list, but can't scroll through. I can't turn off an alarm. Holding the power button only gets me to the voice recognition system, which works, but I can't finish anything because I can't get the screen to respond. My MotoG 5gen phone seems to be triggering watch behavior all right.
Pretty much all of the suggestions that I found in my searches involve rebooting the watch. But I can't reboot because I can't get the watch to shut down. I tried disconnecting the Bluetooth from the phone. Haven't tried forgetting the watch just in case I can't connect again.
I have been having minor issues with the watch disconnecting from the phone if I've left the phone in one room while I do something in another part of the house. Can't say how often because I haven't been paying attention, but maybe once a week or less. I power one or both down and it's been fine.
Now what?
