    Controller won't reconnect


    Hi all and thanks for reading. The problem I have is, if I leave my controller unattended and it turns off, when I get back and turn it on again, it blinks like normally and then I get a solid white light. Now the problem is what the hell is it connecting
    too because I can't do anything on my Xbox, it doesn't move anything. I have turned it on and off, taken battery's out, plugged in play and charge and nothing. I can still use voice command so I know the Xbox hasn't crashed. I have tried a different controller
    still no luck. If I turn my Xbox off and then try turning it back on with the controller, the Xbox doesn't even turn on. it does the same as before, it's like the controller thinks it's connected to the Xbox but it's not :s. The only fix is to unplug Xbox
    for 10 seconds. My mate is having the same problem as me. I think its got something to do with Forza Horizon 2, me and my mate had problem when this game is running. Thanks for reading.

    :)

  2. Controller won't reconnect

    so I got the Xbox one controller with the oculus rift and whenever the controller turns off after being inactive for some time, when I try to reconnect it to the computer, it connects for a second and then disconnects, and I have to close the oculus program
    or sometimes restart the computer for it to reconnect, I've read on other forums that it needs an update but it says it's up to date.

    What do I need to do to fix this?

    Another forum had said its a hardware issue and needs to be replaced.

  3. Controller and Headset Won't Reconnect

    This happens to me as well, but usually when I accidentally disconnect the headset. If I try to plug it back in, I can't talk/hear anything though the headset until I restart my Xbox. I've noticed that this ONLY happens on my Halo 3 controller, and not my
    11 others, so it's a controller problem and has nothing to do with the console or the headset.

    Not sure how much that helps.

    Controller won't reconnect

    Hey there chezza16!

    Sorry to hear about the controller connection issues. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we have informed the proper teams about this issue. We will update this thread when we have more information to provide. If you can, let us know if you have
    anything plugged into the controller when this issue comes up (i.e. Chat Headset, Stereo Adapter). That way we can narrow down the issue! Thanks again for bringing this up to us!

    Controller disconnects while playing Forza Horizon 2 is a separate issue from the controller disconnects after the September Update. We are currently looking into both issues. BR4DOKYBrazil, we will update your thread once we have more information. chezza16,
    we have passed the information along! Controller won't reconnect :)

    Has this been sorted? It's really starting to bug me now. I have to keep doing a power cycle in the middle of a game.

    chezza16,

    Are you still having issues with Forza Horizon 2 controller disconnects? If the controller is disconnecting randomly in any game, I would suggest following

    this thread here, as well as filling out the survey Miss Diggz posted which is marked verified. We're sincerely sorry for any frustration this issue may have caused! That thread will be the best place to get updates on this issue!

    Controller desynced and won't reconnect

    Hey there Deanston,

    What happens if you try a fresh set of AA Batteries as opposed to rechargeable ones. Or try connecting the controller to the console via USB cable?

    Controller and Headset Won't Reconnect

    I have the same problem. After timing out the controller won't connect. It turns off when I turn off the console so it is connected somehow but it just blinks and won't connect right

    I just tried disabling vibration while it was in one of its vibration fits and it just kept vibrating. seems the only way to get it to stop is to shut off my console.
