An option to control pad's power led brightness, to us without Kinetic...

Mr StuffSucker · Nov 4, 2015

Hi all!

Since getting my Xbox One, one of my biggest gripes has been the eye hurting bright power led on Xbox One controller! I always play on totally dark room, with my 110" projector screen and that bright Xbox logo on my controller distracts me. As I read different
forums, if one has Kinect, it adjusts the brightness regarding the brightness of room. But for us without Kinetic, it just slams it to full tilt... Would not be very difficult to ad an option to control the brightness ourselves. You really should make this
one change fast... Pretty please?

:)

Resident Evil REmake available for digital pre-order

I'm glad they give you the option to use Tank controls (D-pad) or modern controls (Left stick)

Interesting - My Xbox One uploading while powered off/in standby

LOL Jwalker, straight from XBOX.com

In Instant-On power mode, your Xbox One console is up to date and ready to use. In this mode:

Your console automatically downloads updates.
Your console starts up in two seconds.
You can wake the console using a voice command. Just say “Xbox, on.”

Notes:
Your console may sound as if it’s on when downloading and installing updates.
In Instant-On power mode, the console power supply unit (PSU) remains on and the solid white LED on the PSU is bright. You may also hear the fan in the PSU.
The console uses 15 watts of power when in Instant-On mode.

In energy-saving power mode, your console is shut down to save energy. In this mode:

Updates are not downloaded and installed until your console is turned on.
Your console takes 45 seconds to start up.
You must press the Xbox button to start the console.

Notes
In energy-saving mode, the PSU is in off/standby mode and the solid orange LED on the PSU is bright.
The console uses 0.5 watts of power when in energy-saving mode.Click to expand...

It says it downloads the updates on the console itself when you go the settings. They even talked about it during the press events. The uploading is probably just various amounts of data that we probably agreed to so that can gather general info about how the XBOX One is being used.

Elite controllers have this option to dim the led or to have it at normal brightness, i would assume its to save controller battery.

You can try resetting your PDP controller. Follow these steps:

Power the XBOX one console on.
Plug the smaller end of the controllers USB-B micro cable into the top of the controller.
Hold down on the directional pad (D-Pad) and plug the larger side of the USB cable into the XBOX one console while still holding down.
The controllers red LED lights will illuminate and the controller will begin to vibrate. You may then release the down input on the directional pad (D-Pad)
Press A on the controller.
The controller will then stop vibrating and the LED lights will power off.
Fully rotate both joysticks in a complete clockwise motion and pull each trigger fully (LT and RT)
Press down on the directional pad (D-Pad)

When the room is dark the LED's dim when the room is bright the LED's are bright Xbox One does this automatically noting is wrong with it. it's an ambient light sensor
