Press exit or menu to exit app keeps popping up

I've only had this happen while using Paramount+ but after a couple episodes I'll start getting the Xfinity "hint" popping up on how to exit the app. It just repeats over and over even if I leave the app and open something new until I reboot my TV.

I found a fix to this issue:

1. go to the settings icon at the top of your screen and press the middle "ok" button

2. scroll to "Preferences" and press middle button

3. scroll to "Notifications" and press ok 

4. at "All Notications" press ok to turn off

5. Arrow back to main settings screen

6. Arrow to "Device Settings"

7.  Arrow to "Power Preferences" Press Ok

8.  Arrow to "Restart" Press Ok

9   Wait for Box to Restart

10.  Press Exit or Menu to exit app is GONE!!!!!

This is happening to me and the only way to stop it is to reboot. But as soon as I watch another paramount episode it happens again

I’m having the same issue on Paramount +. I’ve tried all the recommended steps and also changed streaming boxes but the issue persists. This is beyond frustrating.

This happens to me every time on the paramount plus app. It’s extremely annoying and neither system refresh or restart helps.

@XfinityGabriel​ i agree with user_d48b97 that those steps don’t work at all. They seem promising but it working is another thing because it doesn’t. Can Xfinity help or are they going to continually ask every person if their just using Paramount+ plus promises of wanting to help but not actually fixing the problem? Still waiting. ⏱️

Hey there, @user_a59c31! Thanks for posting on our community forums to let us know about this situation. What kind of device are you using to access the streaming app? Are you having the same issue on any other devices?

@XfinityDilary​ only happens on flex with paramount +. The only way to get rid of it is restart. But as soon as you get to the end of another episode it comes back on

@XfinityJimmy​ I agree with user_d48b97, we all are having problems with Paramount+ with the notification. Is there a solution or not? Xfinity, please send fix not just more questions and promises of fixing something that should be otherwise simple or maybe Xfinity and Paramount+ should apologize to all the customers with compensation to whom they caused frustration.

I keep seeing this as well. I have turned off all notifications. I am using the flex to stream 3rd party apps.  Can you assist or is this a bot responding to these posts?

This happens to me too and it usually begins doing it while its on paramount+ but will continue even after leaving paramount+ and watching other streaming apps. Restarting also didnt work, it kept doing it until it eventually stopped on its own. At least until the next time we watch something on paramount+ when it does it again.

Lets hope turning notifications off works!

@user_9624f9 I recently had the same issue, and it happened after I skipped an update on my box one night. The fix for me was like the others that posted here a reset of the box. It hasn't happened to me since. 

Thanks for providing the fix to the issue @user_97818a!

 

I would like to ask a few questions of you and others in thread to see if there is a common denominator. 

What is the make and model of your box (please just post make and model) this can be found on the sticker on the bottom or back of box. When did this start happening? Such as after skipping an update, right after an update.

Here are a list of comparable and incompatible;e boxes. 


To access Paramount+ programming, you’ll need:

  1. One of the following:
    • A compatible streaming TV Box with Xfinity Flex service (excludes Xi5 TV Boxes) or a compatible X1 TV Box with Xfinity X1 service, including:
      • Xfinity Flex
        • Xi6 streaming TV Box
        • XiOne streaming TV Box
      • Xfinity X1
        • XG2v2 (Non-DVR; Pace Model)
        • XG1v3 (DVR; Arris or Pace Model)
        • XG1v4 (DVR; Arris Model)
        • XiD (Non-DVR; Pace or Cisco Model)
        • Xi5 Wireless TV Box (Non-DVR; Pace Model)
        • Xi6 Wireless TV Box (Non-DVR; Arris or Technicolor Model)
    • TV Boxes that aren’t compatible:
      • RNG150
      • Pace Xi3
      • Samsung XG2v2
      • Arris XG1v1
      • Pace XG1v1
    • Flex exclusions:
      • Pace Xi5 (PX051AEI)

Sure I am happy to answer any questions I can. The box is:

xione-sc (A) the model is :  SCX11AE1BCO streaming box

I am happy to report it is still working.  On my trouble shooting steps I tried just turning off the notifications without completely resetting the box and the notifications still popped up.  I found that after I completely reset the box they went away.  I use to work for the Nielsen Company and through trial and error how to fix many cable/ satellite issues with various boxes.  I understand how frustrating these issues can be and am happy to assist in anyway I can.  Have a blessed day!

Go to the Paramount + sidebar that shows the home and at the very bottom settings. Go to settings go to your account open your account, press, cancel, or close the window and back out all the way to home. Open the home if you have to, go to where it shows all the different shows and such. Go to the show or movie you’re looking for. It seems to be working for right now.  Thankfully it lets you go back in and edit your post. It lasted for that episode but as soon as it went to watch the next episode, you got the press exit or home notification.
