  1. Possible to get some sort of timer/alarm built in?


    I have ADHD pretty bad but one of the times I can focus is when playing video games. That's why I love the feature that reminds me to take a break. Is it possible to ask for a feature that I could set a timer to go off in X minutes or say an alarm to go off at X time? It would pop up on screen like the remind to take a break alerts. This would be very helpful to make me not so hyper focused.

    This would be very, very helpful to me. Am I the only one?

    Sleep timer

    It shouldn't be to hard to add a sleep timer / alarm clock (with on/off times) The unit already has a clock built in. Like Redbullici, I hate when my cable box and TV get off sequence with the XB1. Since the unit doesn't have a true HDMI pass thru, my TV's
    built in on timer (alarm) is now useless

    Something I would love more than anything right now.

    A $500 alarm clock??

    Just buy a $5 timer for your TV, and set it to turn on.

    Bad ethernet port?

    It's possible the port went bad due to some sort of an electric surge or something of the sort. I believe your only two options would be to either go wireless (get a wireless adapter of some sort if your console doesn't already have built in WiFi), or send
    the console in for repair, which can be done here.

    Child Time limit

    There is currently not a timer built into the One.

    screen time limits for adult users

    Are you just wondering how much time YOU are spending on games? I think sites are available that can show the amount of time your playing. You could also look at perhaps some third party apps to log activites as well. If you wanting to actually set a limit
    for yourself, you might want to create a timer on your phone and hit it. I use a timer for Sea of Thieves insider to tell me when I reach the time limit for getting some of the rewards they have, so I don't spend 5 hours sailing in the TEST environment. The
    same could be used for all games. Just set a timer SCREEN TIME and then when the phone starts BEEPING, turn off the alarm and shutdown the games. Best of luck.
