FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Specific answers for Sharp TV users.

What should I do immediately when my Sharp remote batteries die?

If you have replacement batteries, swap them — most Sharp Android TV / Google TV remotes use 2 × AA alkaline cells. If you're out of batteries, use our free Sharp remote app on your iPhone as an instant wireless remote replacement. It connects to your Sharp AQUOS Android TV via Protobuf over TLS TCP (port 6466/6467), discovered automatically over mDNS (_androidtvremote2._tcp). The app prompts you to complete 6-digit HEX PIN. Full remote functionality with no batteries ever needed.

Can I control my Sharp TV from my iPhone when the remote battery is dead?

Yes — our free wireless remote replacement iOS app gives you complete control of your Sharp AQUOS Android TV over Wi-Fi using Protobuf over TLS TCP (port 6466/6467). Your TV is discovered automatically via mDNS (_androidtvremote2._tcp). The app prompts you to complete 6-digit HEX PIN.

This is a permanent solution — many users keep the app even after replacing batteries.

What type of batteries does a Sharp remote use, and how long do they last?

Most Sharp Android TV / Google TV remotes use 2 × AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries. Premium models like slim remotes may use AAA cells — check your specific model's battery compartment cover.
