    My Xbox controller won’t work unless it is held at a certain angle.


    Hi Xbox Community,

    My xbox controller is having some issues and I am wondering if you may be able to help me find out what’s going on.

    The issue is that my controller will be on but whenever it is held at certain angles it goes into pairing mode and won’t go out of pairing mode until the controller is held at a different angle. I have tried using both a wireless and wired connection from the controller to the Xbox but I have had no luck. However it won’t do that when it is connected to my computer.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind Regards

    Jacob

    :)

    Xbox One Wireless Controller Issues

    I have already tried that. When I try to sync it, nothing happens. Is there a certain way to sync it. I had my Xbox on and held both sync buttons. Does my controller have to be on? My controller won't stay on unless I hold the home button.

    The controller update bricked my controller.

    Similar problem guys.

    For months I have had a failing usb cable from the play and charge kit - Controller has to be held or placed at a certain angle for the orange light to stay on for me.

    First controller update was successful.

    Second controller update failed as the cable completely stopped working, I can't get the charge light to come on at all, even when used on the controller which was updated successfully, the other controller has been bricked by the failed update.

    The problem is with the cable in the headset, it stops receiving audio unless the cable is held a certain way

    Controller not working right!!!!

    I have that issue to. My day one controller already has all sorts of issues. That, the charge port for the plug and play needs to be at a certain angle or it won't charge, my B button is sticky. I want to reach out to a microsoft store and see if I can swap
    it for a Titanfall controller. Day one controller is cool, working controller is better.

    Xbox One is not downloading certain games and add-ons even though I reset it multiple times, should I reset my Xbox but not save the games and apps?

    All of the solutions didn’t work, my Xbox still won’t download certain games and addons
