Chromecast keeps disconnecting my remote
This has been going on for a week now. I want to turn my TV on with the chromecast remote, it does not respond at all, I press the pairing buttons, an LED lights up. Clearly the remote works fine. I turn on the TV with its own remote and when I open the devices chromecast -should- be connected to, I can see my chromecast remote, it just says "Disconnected". There isn't even an option to connect to it from the devices menu. Only "Forget" and "Rename". And when I try to pair it again, it keeps saying "Pairing" and then eventually it says "Can't pair"...
However when I unplug the chromecast from the adapter and plug it back in, I can pair the remote again and it works fine like nothing's wrong and the remote's battery level is indicated as "good". Aaaaand the whole thing starts again, when I turn my TV off with the chromecast remote, I can't turn it back on afterwards.
I did a factory reset to both the TV and chromecast. I have updated my TV software, Chromecast is up to date, Bluetooth seems to be updated with the TV software. I tried to remove the batteries and replaced them with new ones, nothing seems to be working. Frankly I'm losing my mind over this. Has anyone else had the same issue?
