Problem with waking console from wireless controller/console connect button

Hey there Gooner Byron!

Couple things to check, do you have any USB devices plugged into your Xbox One? If so, try unplugging those to see if there is any change. Also, do you have your console set to Instant On, or is Power Saver enabled? If you have Instant On enabled, try switching
to Power Save and see if you're able to power your console on from your Xbox One controller.

Hey there. I assume you're talking about the official Xbox wireless headset. Have you tried the following?

The headset can’t connect to a specific controller

Try the following:

Unplug any wired headsets from the console.

On the wireless headset, press the connect button. Lights on the wireless headset and on the controller are lit when they are connected. If the headset connects to the wrong position on the controller, press the connect button again to switch to the next
available position.

If your headset still won’t connect, try this:

Disconnect all other accessories from the console.

Turn off all wireless controllers:

Press and hold the Guide button on the controller for three seconds.

Confirm that you want to turn off only the controller.

Press the power button on the wireless headset.

Press the connect button on the console.

Press the connect button on the wireless headset. The lights around the console power button will spin and blink once. The position that remains lit is the position of the wireless headset.

If you want to test if the wireless headset will connect to the other positions, press the connect button again. The wireless headset connects to the next position.

The headset cannot connect to a specific controller.When you connect an Xbox 360 Wireless Headset to an Xbox 360 console and associate it with a specific controller, the lights on the controller, headset and console match up.



Familiarise yourself with the wireless headset:

Try the following:

• Verify the desired position is available:
  1. Unplug the wired headset from the console.
  2. On the wireless headset, press the connect button. Lights on the wireless headset and on the controller are lit when they are connected. If the headset connects to the wrong position on the console, press the connect button again to switch to the next available
     position.
• Make sure the headset works:
  1. Disconnect all other accessories from the Xbox 360 console, including any wired Xbox 360 controllers.
     
  2. Turn off all Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers:
     1. Press and hold the Guide button on the controller for three seconds.
        
        
        
     2. Confirm that you want to turn off only the controller.
  3. Press the power button on the wireless headset.
  4. Press the connect button on the console.
     • On the original Xbox 360 console, the connect button is on the front between the Memory Unit ports and the power button.
       
       
       
     • On the Xbox 360 S console, the connect button is on the front next to the USB port cover.
       
       
       
  5. Press the connect button on the wireless headset. The lights around the power button on the console will spin and blink once. The position that remains lit is the position of the wireless headset.
     
  6. If you want to test if the wireless headset will connect to the other positions, press the connect button again. The wireless headset will connect to the next position.
     
     If your wireless headset cannot connect to the console, the wireless headset might be defective. You can order a replacement headset from the
     
     Xbox Online Service Centre. Product registration may be required.
     
• Test the controllers:
  If a wireless headset can connect to the console when no controllers are connected to the console, there is a problem with one of the controllers. To identify which controller is causing the problem, follow the steps below:
  
  1. If you are using a wireless controller, press the Guide button to turn on the controller. If you are using a wired controller, connect the controller to the first position on the console.
     
  2. Press the connect button on the controller.
     
     
     
  3. On the wireless headset, press the connect button until the lit section on the controller Guide button matches the lit number on the wireless headset. If this is successful, go to the next step. If it is not, the controller might be defective. Try another
     controller.
  4. Connect a second controller to the second position on the console. Leave the first controller connected to the first position on the console.
     
  5. On the wireless headset, press the connect button until the lit number on the wireless headset matches the lit position on the second controller Guide button.
     
  If this procedure is successful, repeat these steps for each additional controller. You can connect up to four controllers.
  
  If you determine that a controller is defective, you can order a replacement controller from the
  
  Xbox Online Service Centre. Product registration may be required.

You might want to try what I did once.

By holding the connect button on both controllers and the console, they seem to be in "search mode" instead of just looking for their original console (this is useful when you're using a controller that has been already "paired" with another console).

You just hold the button for a couple of seconds on each and they should look for each other.

Please let me know if that resolves your issue.

From the Xbox Wireless Controller Manual:

To connect your wireless controller to your console:
1 Press and hold down the
Xbox Guide button until the
controller turns on.
2 If your console is not on,
press the Power button
to turn on the console.
3 Press and release the
connect button on
the console.
4 Press and release the
connect button on
the controller.
5 After the Ring of Light on the controller and console spin and flash once, the
controller is connected. The quadrant that remains lit indicates the
controller’s position.

reconnect a wireless controller

Turn on your console.

Press and hold the Guide button on the controller until the controller turns on.

3. Press and release the connect button on the console.

Xbox 360 S console Original Xbox 360 console

4. Within 20 seconds, press and release the connect button on the controller.

5. When the lights surrounding the power button on the console stop flashing, the controller is connected.

Each connected controller is assigned to one of four positions. Each position corresponds to a lighted section around the console power button and the controller Guide button.

If the controller does not turn on, check the batteries. Insert fresh AA batteries, making sure they are correctly positioned in the battery case.

To connect additional controllers, follow these same steps again. You can connect up to four controllers to the console. Each connected controller is assigned a position that corresponds with the lighted sections that appear around the console’s power button
and around the Guide button located in the middle of each controller.

To disconnect a wireless controller, press and hold the Guide button for three seconds, and then choose to turn the controller off.

When you turn off the console, the controller will reconnect the next time you turn on the console.

The controller can be connected to only one console at a time. You can connect the controller to a different console, but the connection to the previously connected console will be lost.

If that does not work try this:

The Xbox 360 Wireless Controller batteries are weak or the Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack needs recharging.

Another wireless device, such as a microwave oven, a cordless phone or a wireless router, is causing interference.

Metallic objects positioned between the console and the wireless controllers are causing interference. These include a chrome faceplate or metal dividers, shelves or doors on an entertainment centre cabinet.

Note All licensed Xbox 360 console faceplates are tested for interference and do not interfere with licensed wireless devices.

Four controllers are already connected to the console.

Solution 1: Restart your console

Turn your console off, wait a minute, and then turn it on again.

Solution 2: Replace the batteries or recharge the battery pack

Do one of the following:

If you do not have a rechargeable battery pack, insert fresh AA batteries.

If you have an Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack:

Remove the battery pack, and reattach it to your controller, making sure that it is attached correctly.

On the controller, press and hold the Guide button. In the upper-left area of the Guide button, the battery meter indicates your current level of battery strength.

If the level is low, recharge the battery pack.

If you have an Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit:

Make sure that the battery pack is correctly connected to your controller and plugged into one of the console's USB ports. If you check both of those things but are still having the problem, try step 2.

Check the USB ports on the console:

Plug the charge cable into each USB port on your console, one by one. There are two USB ports on the front of the console and one on the back.

If the controller works in one USB port but not another, try another accessory in the USB port that did not work with the controller.

If the USB port does not work with any accessory, your Xbox 360 console might need to be repaired. Contact Xbox Support for help. See the Assistance section at the bottom of this page for more information.

If the USB ports work but you are still having connection problems, try step 3.

Turn off vibration feedback (rumbling) on the controller. If you play games with feedback while charging, it takes longer for the controller to charge and might drain the battery pack faster than it can recharge. Here’s how to turn vibration off:

Press the Guide button on your controller, then go to Settings.

Select Preferences.

Select Vibration.

Select Enable Vibration to clear the checkbox.

Solution 3: Remove objects between the controller and the console

The controller works within 10 metres (33 feet) of your console. However, objects placed between the controller and the console might reduce this range. In addition, objects that use wireless technology (for example, a cordless phone) can interfere with
your wireless controller. Remove or relocate objects or wireless devices that might interfere with the wireless controller or console. Here are some things that can cause problems:

Microwave ovens

Cordless phones

Wireless routers

Chrome faceplates

Metal dividers

Shelves

Doors on an entertainment centre cabinet

Note All licensed Xbox 360 console faceplates are tested for interference and do not interfere with licensed wireless devices.

Solution 4: Disconnect all controllers and headsets

If all four lights surrounding the power button on the console are green and the controller has four flashing green lights, four controllers might already be connected to the console. Disconnect all of the controllers, and then try to connect the controller
with the problem.

To disconnect a wireless controller, press and hold the Guide button for three seconds, and then turn the controller off.

To disconnect a wireless headset, turn the headset off.

To disconnect a wired controller or headset, unplug its cable from the console.

Hope this helped
