Volume button not working correctly
under review
Mike Postma
Google TV, Hisense U7 series, my volume buttons on the remote stopped working correctly. Earlier today they were working as expected, but tonight I can no longer hold the volume up or down, I have to press the buttons multiple times to change it. I uninstalled dispatch and they started working again, I will reinstall tomorrow and see if it is still happening.

This is a common problem with any app using the accessibility service on Android TV. Any launchers or button-remappers will break the hold-volume functionality of your remote, seemingly regardless of the manufacturer (Personally experienced this on Sony, Hisense, and TCLs).
Unfortunately, there's still no workaround for this AFAIK; besides disabling the accessibility service ofc, but that would break functionality.

I also have a Hisense with the same issue, however it also happens when I have other launchers installed that use Accessiblity settings. I suspect they intercepting the input as a single press.
