    Controller disconnects after 1 foot


    Both of my controllers are disconnecting and connecting when they are moved 1 foot away from the xbox. They only maintain connection when lying directly infront of the xbox. I already updated my controllers and moved every possible obejct out of the way.
    I also moved everything electronic that may cause the problem. I even moved the Xbox to a different room but the problem remains.

    :)

    Controller won't stay connected

    I got a new controller, it syncs after I press both sync buttons on the controller and xbox 360 but then it just disconnects itself after 1 second. I put new batteries in it. I don't get why it won't stay connected. My other controller works fine and connects
    fine.

    Xbox One controller USB cables

    My Xbox One is on one floor and My son play on another floor (Hdmi connected). He experience many controller disconnect message and I wonder how can I fix it.

    Option 1 : get a signal repeater, I found none at this time.

    Option 2: plug a male/female USB cable of 25 foot and he plays with a wired controller. How long can be the cable without loosing signal ?

    Thanks for your advice.

    Tried everything in the guide already.

    Controllers are working fine with other consoles. Seems like I have to send my console in.

    Thanks for the update.

    To check, do you have any USB devices plugged into your Xbox One you can try removing to see if there's any change in connection performance?

    Suggested fix for Controller disconnects

    Yep I can agree with this, as with the controller sat on my lap, I crossed my legs, blocking Kinects view of the controller, and it said it was disconnected. Put my leg down and it reconnected. This is about 5 foot away from the TV and Kinect.
