6. After that, click “Clear Data” and confirm. This will reset the app’s settings.
7. After clearing the cache and data, exit the app settings and restart your Shield TV device.
8. Once the Shield TV restarts, follow the initial pairing process to connect your Shield TV remote to the device.

Clearing the cache and data of the Bluetooth app can help resolve connectivity issues between your Shield TV remote and the device itself. This method refreshes the connection settings and can potentially solve problems you might be experiencing.
