Issues with Kinect

My kinect flashes on and off constantly while Im playing I have tried hard reseting my system and making sure the kinnect is all the way plugged in but that did not fix the problem. This has been going on for months, is this a known problem?

Kinect 2.0 Constantly Rebooting/Switching Off

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue with my Kinect 2.0 sensor in that it regularly turns itself off - All of a sudden the red lights & Xbox logo will go off. About 10 seconds later it will come back on. This can happen anywhere from every few minutes, to only once or twice
an hour - Sometimes it will just turn itself off and wont come back on unless I unplug Kinect or Power Cycle the console.

My initial reaction was to assume it was broken, but because it (most of the time) comes right back on, or works again after unplugging & plugging back in, I wasn't so sure. Added with the fact that I'm aware that some games can use the power Kinect would
normally be using to run the game - I wondered if maybe that was possibly a factor.

Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this at all? I'd really rather not send the entire console away just to have the Kinect sensor repaired/replaced.

Thanks guys.

Craig

There are a couple things that can happen here.... Easiest fix is to go to settings/kinnect - and turn off kinnect for chat.

The other issue is that if you have multiple accounts on your XBO, occasionally it will randomly sign in those profiles, when it does it sometimes switches to the kinnect for voice.

Sorry no one helped you on this. I too have dish and use the hdmi pass through. One benefit is that you do not need to switch inputs, just apps. You can use cortana if you have a kinnect or if you are using your headset. Also this will show you what is trending
and you can change channels by voice or with the controller if you have a kinnect- just make sure that your dish receiver has line of site to the kinnect, mine bounces off a wall behind me and back to the receiver. You can just say, hey cortana watch tv. then
you can tell it to change to X channel, like watch history channel or whatever. Kinnect is probably one of the best features of this, but not switching inputs is nice too.

Hopefully this help

This is a good question , .

Where is Iceman III when you need him ....

Will you be able to upgrade your firmware and benefit from the extra power .....but will that leave the kinnect a lump of worthless plastic .

Or can you keep it the way it is ...with less power ...but still use kinnect ..?.

Will developers aim to make games with kinnectless xb1 's in mind ... will they be awful on xb1's that keep kinnect.

Will there be an options to switch back and forth ...from kinnect to no kinnect?.
