My controller doesn't work on android

Tom Vader07 · Dec 9, 2019

When I connect my xbox one s controller to my phoen it says connected as input device, and the light stops flashing but the phone (Samsung Galaxy s5) doesn't accept input from it and when I try to use the xbox game streaming app it still says connect a
compatible controller. I am running Android 6.0.1

Try it just like it says in this
link. I just tried it on an S8 and had no issue.

Hello Tom Vader07,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that your Xbox One S controller is not able to connect to your Android device. We have a support article which provides steps on how to

connect your controller to an Android device. The article does state if you have any problems pairing or using your Xbox Wireless Controller with your Android device, consult your device’s manufacturer’s support website. The article also
has a section that provides assistance with connecting a controller to a mobile device. The article mentions that if your phone resources are being used for other activities, it may take up to 2 minutes for your phone to recognize and/or pair your controller
via Bluetooth. If you experience a delay, wait up to 2 minutes to see if this resolves the issue. Be sure to let us know the results!

New Controller DOES work on an android device. Just do the usual steps when connecting a Bluetooth device. Do note that the Xbox one S Controller NEEDS an update.

TO update you have to hook it up to your pc via usb.

Browse the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 Anniversary update. Look for "Xbox Accessories"

Download the app and boot it up WHILE your xbox controller is plugged In.

Program should automatically download an update for your controller.

After the update you will be able to use your controller on an Android Device. I have tested it on my Android Tablet KitKat (4,4.2) on my Android Phone (can't remember the version) on my amazon firestick, AND my jellybean tablet (5.1.1)

Do note that the triggers are 'buggy' at least when trying minecraft. Can't remember the proper name for the problem. But games that DO NOT require triggers should work. Was playing Sonic the hedgehog on my Amazon firestick no problem.

Funny thing is my controller doesn't sync to my Desktop OR laptop (Windows 10 with Anni update) but it does with everything Android I've thrown at it.

Hi Eddie. This is clearly not the situation I want you to be in. Believe me, if I were on your situation, I would feel the same way.

Unfortunately, the MOGA XP5-X Plus is a bluetooth controller for mobile & cloud gaming for Android/PC only that works on bluetooth or USB connection. It doesn't really work on Xbox consoles for cloud gaming.

Have you tried playing cloud gaming on PC or Android if your controller works fine?
