iPhone Xbox app, Controller not working on remote play issue

Hello Lukeanator17,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

I understand that you are having trouble starting the remote game from your iPhone. Here are some steps you can try to solve the problem:

Check That Your iPhone Is Connected To A Stable Wi-Fi Network. Remote Play requires a high-speed Wi-Fi connection for functionality.

Make sure your iPhone and your xbox one are connected to the SAME red Wi-Fi. THIS IS NECESSARY for Remote PLAY to Work.

Restart your iPhone and your Xbox One. THIS MAY Fix Any Temporary Problems With Your Devices.

Update the Xbox App on your iPhone. App updates may include bug fixes that may resolve the issue you are experiencing.

TRY LAUNCHING THE ROTOTO GAME FROM A DIFFERENT DEVICE. If you can start the game remotely from another device, it means the problem is related to your iPhone.

Contact Xbox Support. They will be able to help you solve the problem.

TRY STARTING THE ROMOTE GAME FROM A DIFFERENT LOCATION. If you are in a location with a weak Wi-Fi signal, remote play may not function properly.

Try starting remote play at a different time. Remote play may be experiencing server issue.

I'm having the same issue.

but I figured something about this.

When TV that connected to XBOX is turned on. remote play works.

but when TV is turned off. remote play is not working.

if I turn on my TV first, then remote play from my PC . it works perfectly.

then if I turn off my TV. suddenly Remote play become very unstable and stuttering.

and it disconnected automatically in a minute.

I tested wireless and wired , both behaves same.

and most importantly , this issue not reproducing iPhone and android phone remote play.

mobile phone remote play works perfectly no matter TV is turned on or not.

iPhone SE with same reported problem. It's been like this for awhile for me. Really frustrating because I used to use the app to control my xbox and tv through it as a single remote.

Hello Samy.

I'm using Inside build. I was in delta.

but my current firmware version is 10.0.22000.2285 . I believe this version is same version with official latest firmware version.

I followed your instruction. cleared my MAC address but no luck.

and for your information, as I said remote play works with android or iphone.

but PC xbox app remote play is not working when my tv is turned off.

if I turn on my tv first, then connect my xbox series x on my PC then it works perfectly.

but then , if I turn off my tv, then network connection become very unstable (stuttering insanely)

and become disconnected in about one minute.

I tried unplug hdmi cable while remote playing(not turn off tv) . and it behaves same way

and again, none of this issues occur in iphone or android phone xbox app. no matter tv is turned on or off.

PlayStation does it with their remote play (on my iPhone, with no controller) Clearly it’s not simple, but that’s what developers and programmers are for. Submit the idea or something.
