  1. Controllers take a long time to sync with the xbox


    So When turning on my controller ( xbox be on or off) takes quite a while for the controller to sync with the xbox most of the time around 5 mins the lights are flashing but just takes a really long time to turn on, and even longer to turn on the xbox with
    the controller. While back i found that using the charge and play quickly connects it, but that no longer works. Then i learned that disconnecting the power supply from the back of the xbox then plugging it back in temporally solves the problem for about a
    week, but this too is losing its effectiveness =\ tried changning controllers still takes a while to connect any ideas?

    :)

    Controller constantly disconnects...

    Here is a possible solution for those with a Kinect.

    So I spoke with phone support last week and she had me sync the controllers with the Kinect instead of the console. Press and hold the sync button on the controller until it starts to flash and point it at the Kinect - don't press the sync button on the
    console itself. It seemed to take longer to sync this way, but both of my controllers did sync.

    I didn't even know we could do this, but since doing so, my controllers have stayed synced. For the past few weeks while the Xbox was in standby the controllers would unsync and I would have to resync (usually wouldn't work), use a cable (worked 75% of the
    time), or restart the console, every couple of days. I still think something got messed up due to an update because I never had these problems so frequently before, but at least so far this Kinect-syncing has worked for me.

    Mine takes a while too, but not five minutes. Maybe 20-30 seconds.

  8. Controllers take a long time to sync with the xbox

    The wireless 360 controller broadcasts a RF signal in the 2.4 GHz range so if you--or neighbours if you live in an apartment/flat/condominium--have several other things using that frequency it might cause some interference, as will microwave ovens, mobile
    phones, wireless hot spots, etc., etc., etc.

  9. @Sup I don't think its the controller unless all 4 of mine are broken with the same problem =\

    @Visage makes sense, but im not too sure if that's the problem since unplugging the power from the back xbox allows the controller to connect pretty instantly, but after a week or two the time it takes begin to take longer and longer

  10. Eh, I honestly cannot imagine what it could be then. If it connected in the past with the play and charge kit then it could be a battery issue... if it frustrates you a lot--personally it would infuriate me--the last bit of recourse would be to ship it
    out for service... you could be over-heating the RF receiver or something due to a frayed wire which is why unplugging it would help for a bit... that's a stretch though.

  12. Hmm, don't think its overheating, its like this even after the xbox has been off for while over a week (vacation) and still took a while to connect the controller. If it was overheating though i don't exactly see unplugging the power cord would instantly
    cool it down (unless it does) since it's only removed for a second and than plugged back in.

    EDIT: was just looking around some other fourms people seem to have the same problem but no solution =\
