    controller is connected but says it isn't


    I opened up Battlefield 4 and it told me to reconnect my controller. I wasn't able to do anything in the game, just go back to the xbox dashboard and mess around in there.

    Does anyone know how I could fix this?

    :)

    Controller issues

    My newer controller says that there is a headset connected to it, but there isn't one connected to it. I am trying to get my wireless headset connected to it but the wireless headset goes to the other controller spaces how do I fix this?

    XBOX is connected but acting like it isn't

    Try a hard reset of the xbox hold the home button for 8 seconds till it completely shuts off and unplug the xbox for 5 minutes then forget your network and try reconnecting

    Hi,

    I suggest you to do a "Power Cycle" to your console. Turn off your console. Unplug the power supply from your console and wall for 30 seconds. After than, plug the cord back and turn on your console, see if that works!

    xbox says it connects but isn't connected

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    Please perform an extended powercycle and reset your network hardware.

    1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

    2. Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds or until it turns off then wait for 2 minutes before turning it on again.

    3. After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    xbox says it connects but isn't connected

    ok so I reset my xbox and I also restarted the router by holding the red button down for three seconds, it connected after awhile of fighting with it (by that I mean going thru a process of trying to sign in but to no avail) I will try this now, thanks for the support
