Chromecast with Google TV remote control - doesn't work with TCL TV

leonlevy — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 12:01:09 GMT

Hi, I don't know why the Chromecast Home TV remote doesn't works with TCL tv's, I opened a Conversation about 2 years ago without receiving any response from Google, I already checked the Issue with TCL technical support and finally the issue is not in the TCL tv's the issue is in the Google Remote, finally 2 months ago someone from Google participated in my conversation, promised to solve the Issue, blocked my conversation, and no one could write in my conversation anymore, all the Google's Chromecast TV users with a TCL tv, stayed without response, Google Please Help with this ISSUE, Thanks

Hi leonlevy,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community.

This is not the experience that we wanted you to have, let me help you out. A few things: Is the issue isolated to just the TCL TV? Are you able to successfully pair the remote? If not, what is the exact message that you are getting during the pairing?

Try to pair the remote using another TV to further isolate the issue. Check this helpful link for more information.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards,

Juni

Hi Juni, Thanks again for your Comments, only to remind, You participated in my previous Community Conversation regarding the same topic, you offered to check the issue and suddenly the conversation was locked and we didn't listen about the issue any more, btw I gave you a previous ticket number I'd opened in Google help and never get response either, please see the link for the previous community conversation

https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Chromecast/Chromecast-with-Google-TV-remote-control-TCL-TV/m-p/90081#M9260

Regarding to your recent questions:

Yes the issue is only with the IR of TCL TV's (I own 2 TCL TV's and 2 Chromecast TV HOME - both Same issue ) - I also owns a Samsung TV and a Toshiba TV and the IR Remote work perfect.

I successfully to pair the remote in all the cases (for the 4 TV's) the remote works perfect when I set it to the Chromecast BT or through the TV CEC the Issue appear only whe I try to setup the TCL IR bouttons, the Samsung and Toshiba IR boutons worked perfect.

Additional information: It is possible to setup the Google IR to the TCL TV's only when I approach up to about a foot to the TV IR Sensor, if I move away from the sensor more than a foot it's stop to work, I changed the batteries with out changes.

All this information you can find from several users with the same issue in my previous locked conversation on the link I provide before
I really will appreciate your cooperation
Thanks in advances

Thanks Princesss for your cooperation, I already received a mail from The Google Nest Customer Care Team, It really didn't meet my expectations they asked me to check with the TCL technical support, despite the fact that in the threads of my community conversations I already wrote that I had checked with TCL from the first moment the problem arose, They also asked me to give a feedback through the device, which I also did some time ago

Thanks and still waiting for a solution

Since I'm having the same issue, I'll try to revisit this post to see if any solution will be proposed.

@leonlevythanks for your perseverance

Google is doing nothing about it and trying to involve TCL in the issue, TCL proved me is not a TCL Issue at all

I'm opening another Nest help case, and I'll try to push from my side as well

I like it when I see people engaged, so I try to give my two cents

Same issue here, I own a tcl TV, and as described, the problem is present if you are more than 1 meter or so far, I presume that is due to the strength of the signal or the signal not properly calibrated

Is there any solution for this problem?

Is there a possibility of cloning the codes from the original TV IR remote?

Re: Chromecast with Google TV remote control - doesn't work with TCL TV

leonlevy — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 22:14:20 GMT

Isn't posible, google codes are presets

Same problem here, own a firestick and a chromecast firestick remote have no problems, goggle remote is garbage. If they don’t fix this soon, i send the chromecast back.

Re: Chromecast with Google TV remote control - doesn't work with TCL TV

leonlevy — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 07:29:17 GMT

This is true, I already opened a ticket and they don't do anything to solve this problem

Re: Chromecast with Google TV remote control - doesn't work with TCL TV

Just sharing that I found a temporary solution, if you place a CD or a reflective surface with a 45`angle bellow the tcl LED, i have noticed that increases the range, not sure why is this, my theory is that there is some bad calibration

Try to contact Google support again with the details of the problem. Mention the previous conversation, the promise to solve the issue, and the subsequent block. Request prompt assistance for the unresponsive Google Chromecast TV users with TCL TVs.
