Controller sleep mode

PHILTH69 · Apr 7, 2020

Please give us an option to have sleep mode turned off I have my controller wired and when watching apps 5 or 10 minutes whilst in a party if I dont move my thumb sticks or press a button my headset switches off which can become annoying when watching
films. Please fix this.

:)

Unfortunately it doesn't work I'm using the controller wired without the battery charge pack in, maybe I have to have the battery pack in also but that doesn't make sense. Give it a try.

I'd actually like to see this as an option in the settings menu. I understand that it's there to help battery life of the controllers, but they should give us the option like with the Screen Dimming feature.

I personally bypass the controller sleeping with a Keyboard I have plugged into my Xbox. It not only helps with typing, but you can also navigate Youtube and Hulu with it just to name a few.

I don't think the controller should turn off when it is wired into your xbox. A wireless controller will turn off after 15 minutes to save battery though.

That says the batteries aren't rechargeable.Things like that, one says one thing etc

As a workaround to prevent the controller going to sleep mode, you might try and use a rubber band to tie one of the analogue sticks into any direction, or put a book or something similar on the controller so the analogue stick is pushed into a direction,
so the controller "thinks" it's being actively used and doesn't go to sleep.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any other way or setting in windows, to prevent the game from "losing" the sleeping controller.
