  1. Controller disconnects constantly


    Every 5-10 minutes or so it will disconnect and I'll have to hit A to reconnect.

    I've had this issue for months and months and have followed all the many threads waiting on a resolution.

    My setup:

    • Day One edition console
    • Day One edition controller
    • Couch is less than five feet away from console
    • There is nothing between console and me, no drawers/cabinet doors, etc
    • ASUS AC wireless router, and yes I have mobile devices connected to router. Lots of them.
    • No wireless (landline) phones
    I have tried all of this without resolution:

    • new batteries
    • power cycled Xbox One
    • disconnected/re-synced controller to Xbox One
    • new controller (spent $65 yesterday so I can play Far Cry 4 without messed up audio and without dying because of disconnects. That's more than I paid for the game.)
    • removed Kinect from the system (unplugged and put in closet)
    • moved console to another TV on second floor, from first floor
    Originally, I thought it was from the Kinect losing sight of the controller as it would happen very often when I was reclining on the couch and my leg blocked the line-of-sight from Kinect to controller. Does the Xbox itself use line-of-sight IR emitters/receivers
    to monitor the controller?

    I also bought a Microsoft Stereo headset and adapter and my sound constantly goes in and out and stutters, which I believe is related to the same issue...it's an absolutely terrible experience.

    Please help. I guess I should go ahead and request a repair for my console? Perfect timing now that I just bought Far Cry 4 and GTA V.

    :)

    Controller constantly disconnects...

    There are waaaayyyy too many people with these controller disconnect problems recently to be faulty hardware all at once. Look at this forum, there are multiple threads with disconnect problems. I have a launch Xbox, had problems early on, the patch was
    issued that fixed it, and now after one of the last updates, I have problems again. Two different controllers, they won't even connect to turn the Xbox on! Syncing doesn't always work, I have to plug in the cable and sometimes that doesn't work. Only a reboot
    fixes it.

    I feel like nothing gets relayed higher-up the chain to get things fixed. This controller disconnect problem, the Kinect shutting itself off now, the Kinect camera setup being removed but the button and text is still there? Things are just getting removed/broken
    but nothing is getting fixed?!

    You don't think I checked that already? None of those work... There's literally nothing I can do but get a new xbox and that is trash. Never experienced nothing like that w/ my ps4! Smh

  5. Thanks for linking them up. There's also this thread, which I posted on back in June:

    forums.xbox.com/.../4789666.aspx

    (I created a new thread because I read the mods asked people to create new threads to get individual support...we'll see.)

    No "Profit" on this answer as I have tried that solution,I've looked all over these forums and tried every possible suggestion.It has to be a software issue.It would not be horrible if I could play wired but that causes the controllers to act like they have
    a mind of their own,and yes I said controllers,plural because I've tested 3 separate controllers.Im not sending in my XboxOne for repair because others with the same problem got it back with the same problem.Its not interference because nothing has changed
    prior to the last update.

    Hey everyone affected,

    To be clear, are you seeing this with multiple controllers on the same console? If so, this could be something w/the console's ability to connect rather than the controllers'. I have a few steps I recommend:

    1. Test any of these disconnecting controllers on a friend's console.

    -- If they connect and work fine on another console, this definitely points to your console.

    2. Another similar test is to test these controllers wired via a microUSB cable and see if they connect and work fine.

    3. If everything checks out wired and with another console, a repair may be necessary for your console. You can find out more about that here:

    I totally agree with The Ender.The problem has started after the update and it was perfect before that.All this reset your console and press buttons is just what they're told to say.Im not spending $130 to have my console sent back and have the same problem
    as others have stated.Its a software/firmware issue.
