Controller issue

A NINJA RACER · Sep 19, 2017

Hello all,

I'm running into an issue with my Xbox one controllers. I currently have 3. One that I bough with my Xbox several years ago and 2 that I bough within the past year. I will be navigating through the home screens or an app or even a game and all of a sudden
out of the blue the controller will stop working The Xbox light will still be lit solid and the Xbox does not say anything about the controller being disconnected. All 3 controllers are wireless with rechargeable batteries but I have resorted to leaving them
plugged into the console with the supplied cable because I have been having battery life issues even with the newest controller. I must stress that the console has NOT frozen if I'm on a streaming app it continues to stream if I'm in a game the game continues
to function as if I have just put down the controller. I can connect a different controller and it will work again for a while sometimes a few minutes sometimes longer but once it stops working it wont work again for some time. I have even tried disconnecting
the battery and pulling the USB cable out and reconnecting but the controller will not communicate with the console until some serious time has past. this is very troubling that this issue has seemed to spread to all of my controllers even one that is only
a few months old these controllers are to expensive to replace without knowing what issue is causing them to go bad so that corrective steps can be taken. Please advise.

:)

Controller Issue

Hi, it seems that I cannot change the controller for my Xbox. Its the second one I try and its like the Xbox doesn't see it, When I try to use it, some red lights start blinking and nothing happens...

It seems the guys at FUTURE SHOP never saw such a thing!?

I need to change the original because of a bad stick, otherwise it works fine

Any help appreciated.

Controller Issue

On some older model pads the battery pack can jiggle a little, so when you get excessive vibrations (rumble) it can disconnect the battery.

Try turning off the rumble feature and see if the problem persists.

Press the guide button.

Scroll right to preferences.

Vibration.

Un-check the box.

If you've been having battery issues with rechargeable batteries and you said you leave them plugged into the console to charge them then might have some battery damage to the controllers if the batteries overcharge and get to hot.

I would also check to see if there are any firmware updates for them too by going to settings - devices - select the controller and select info. Might be a long shot.

It sounds like you're not hitting the sync button on the console itself.

With your console powered on, hit the Guide button. Wait for the LEDs to start flashing. Once they're flashing, hit the sync button (near the Play & Charge cable port). The LEDs on the controller will start spinning. After you've hit that, hit the Sync button
on the front of the consoles. On the original 360 it's its own button to the right of the MU ports. On the 360 S it's the IR window/button to the left of the front USB trap door. Once you hit the sync button on the console, the Ring of Light on the console
should start spinning.

There's a
decent guide on the XBOX site.

Controllers do wear out. Every gamer handles it different and your movements will do that to the joystick. Certain games are harder on different buttons. Thats a battlefield controller

mine looks just like it. Its a battle hardened controller that might
need to be retired. It happens to the best of us.
