Sharp TV Remote App Not Working – What to Do?

• Ensure your Sharp TV and handheld device are connected to the same WiFi network.
• Update the Sharp smart TV and the app to the most recent version.
• If the remote app works via WiFi, keep your phone in a range with stronger WiFi signals.
• To use IR-based remote apps, check if your mobile phone has an IR blaster. Remember that the remote app can be operated only at a distance of fewer than 30 feet.
