Universal TV Remote Control for OnePlus TV

How to Use Your Phone as a Remote for OnePlus TV

A Universal TV Remote Control for OnePlus TV is useful when the original remote is missing, but choosing the right replacement is slightly different from buying a basic universal remote for a traditional TV. Many OnePlus TV models use smart-TV functions that depend on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Android TV, or Google TV, so an infrared-only remote may not support every feature.

What Type of Universal Remote Works With OnePlus TV?

For simple tasks such as changing the volume, switching inputs, or turning the TV on and off, a compatible IR universal remote may be enough. However, functions such as voice search, Google Assistant, advanced navigation, or dedicated streaming shortcuts can require Bluetooth pairing or smart-TV compatibility.

This means you should check more than whether the remote lists “OnePlus” as a supported brand. Look at the functions you actually use most often.

Control Type What It Is Best For
IR universal remote Power, volume, basic navigation and input
Bluetooth-compatible remote Smart controls, navigation and additional buttons
Phone remote Navigation, playback and convenient backup control
Original-style replacement Users who want controls closest to the factory remote

Your Phone Can Be the Easier Replacement

If your OnePlus TV is running Android TV or Google TV, using a phone as a remote can often be easier than searching for the correct universal remote code.

Connect the TV and smartphone to the same Wi-Fi network, open a compatible TV remote app, select the television, and complete the pairing process shown on screen. Once connected, the phone can handle common controls such as navigation, playback, volume adjustment, and text entry.

The keyboard function is especially useful when entering Wi-Fi passwords, searching YouTube, or signing in to streaming services—tasks that can feel slow with a traditional directional pad.

Do You Need a Universal Remote Code?

Not always.

Traditional infrared universal remotes may require a setup code, while Bluetooth or Wi-Fi remotes generally use a pairing process instead. If your OnePlus TV does not respond to a code-based remote, that does not necessarily mean the remote is faulty; the feature you are trying to control may use another connection method.

For OnePlus TV owners, the most practical approach is to choose a replacement based on how the TV communicates with the remote, rather than relying only on a generic universal remote TV code list.

In short: use an IR universal remote for basic controls, choose a compatible smart remote if you need more complete functionality, or use a phone remote when you need a quick replacement without another physical controller.
