I've recently observed some strange behavior with my beoremote one paired to my 1st gen Eclipse. After it has been idle for a while (like all day), when I first pick it up at night, it seems dead. I press some buttons, and I see the "bang and olufsen" logo like it is booting up. After a few seconds, it operates normally.
I don't think it's the batteries because I recently changed them, and usually, I get a low battery warning when the batteries are low... and it also works fine for the few hours I watch it.
I've searched the menus and the internet and don't see anything about this.
Anyone else observed this?
Beoremote one sleep mode?

Neither my early BR1 nor my early BR1-BT does this. But I do have a speculation and a proposed "repair":
There was a point in time when the BR1-BT firmware was using up batteries very very fast. **Maybe** a temp fix was issued to halt the bug, a "blunt instrument" of sleeping after a time. Then future firmware fixed the problem properly. Maybe you got the remote brand-new at that quick-fix moment? "Repair" would be: Force update the firmware at your dealer. Supposedly your TV will push updates to the remote, but I never understood under what conditions, and besides my TV has no Internet, so I would ask a dealer to ensure it's up-to-date.
(Or maybe not. Hopefully someone else has relevant experience. At least updating the remote's firmware is easy and usually low-risk.)
Over the years, I've caught my BR1 upgrading a few times. That's sort of what I was thinking this could be... I happened to pick it up mid-upgrade so it aborted, and I was just getting very unlucky with the timing. I haven't seen this happen for a couple days so maybe it has resolved itself (fingers crossed).
Finally, even though I live in one of the larger metro areas of the US (Chicago) my closest dealer is > 700 miles away so dealer involved solutions are generally a no go :(
I have noticed some similar behaving recently with my Beoremote One paired with my Beovision Theatre. The remote will just randomly reboot -- even while I'm using it. This behavior is new -- leading me to think it could be a bug in a recent firmware update.
I have the same problem with BR1 and Theatre.
It reboots for no reason, even while using the remote; at which point it wont work for about 3 minites.
ith new sets of batteries im down to 40% in 2 weeks
My BR1 has had similar 'sleep' behaviour lasting for long periods. I suspect a poor electrical connection. After changing the batteries I eventually brought the BR1 back to life with sharp taps at the battery end of the remote.
