Streaming App (Android) Controller inputs no longer work?!

I7emesis · May 2, 2020

Xbox streaming no longer seems to work (it did until I tried today) - the app connects to one of my xboxes just as it always has but now the controller inputs are not working?!

this worked fine before but no longer. 4 different android devices, 4 different xboxes and 4 different controllers tried - all updated to latest versions and firmware.

Any ideas why this suddenly stopped? I often stream from different areas of the house and during this lock down it is crippling where my kids can play. (they Love the streaming app!)

The connection gets right to the xbox home screen but no input works other than the "B" button that allows a disconnect from the xbox (which is a local android app popup) any ideas? Is this just me being a donkey or are others getting this problem with this
otherwise amazing service and app?!

I had the same problem. Deleting all the data related to the App solved the issue for me, afterwards you will need to Login again but the controller should work again in the app.

In most Android devices it should be Settings -> Apps --> Streaming (this is the App) --> Storage --> Clear Data

Good Luck.

Hi there!

I am sorry to know about the issue. I know how frustrating that must be. I would feel the same way if I were on your situation. Let's see what we can do about this matter here.

I just want to make sure if you have the same settings on your console as shown below:

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
Go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features.
Select the Enable remote features checkbox.
Under Power options, select Sleep.
Note: If your console power mode isn't set to Sleep, remote play won't work.

If so, try to power cycle your console to refresh it as well. Press and hold Xbox's power button for 10 sec until it turns off. Unplug the power supply for 30 sec. Plug it back in and turn it on again.

Once done, let's reconnect your remote play:
Open the Xbox mobile app.
Select the My Library icon and select Consoles.
*** Swipe down your screen twice or thrice to refresh the list.
Select the console you want to connect to and then press Remote play on this device.

Let me know if that works.

On the other hand, to further isolate the issue, try to use a different profile on your Xbox console and the Xbox app on mobile if the issue persist on a different account or not.

Ok for anyone who is having this issue... removing and reinstalling the streaming app on the android devices fixed the issue.

So long as its paired correctly through the Xbox Game Streaming App, then yes, the Elite and Elite Series 2 controllers should both work on a mobile device via Bluetooth and wireless pairing on Android.
