Unable to use "sign in" and "settings" features of xbox one

SW Templar · Jun 4, 2014

Hey all,

So with the new update having come out today I went to turn on my One and get some gaming in with my friends on titanfall. I turn on my console and don't get an update "that's weird" I thought, but I didn't feel it was necessarily a problem. I go to the
top with my controller from the dashboard to sign in, it fades to gray and gives me the "sign in with a guest profile," "I'm not here," and whatever the other option is for about a second and then it cuts back to the dashboard. I tried signing in with connect
and while it is plugged in, it doesn't hear me or recognize me. My next thought is that my setting have changed and it isn't hearing me because of that. I went to my setting and I get the nine tiles for, again, about two seconds and then it cuts back to the
dashboard. I don't know how to fix the problem as I've power cycled the box two or three times now and that hasn't changed anything. Any ideas what could be causing this problem?

:)

Having trouble playing with guests at your house? Unplug the Kinect!

[quote user="NSquared3131"]

Exactly. There needs to be a feature to automatically sign you in AND turn off kinect sign-in

I have 3 accounts on my xbox 1. I'm the main user so with the other accounts just go into settings on their accounts and turn off Kinect sign in. Haven't tested it yet but I'm sure it will work. So you can turn Kinect sign in off, it's in sign in preferences
in settings...

Locked out of XBox Live account and stuck in a loop

Hi
Click to expand...

My son's XBox won't allow him to login to his XBox Live account, it says he needs to go to account.live.com so...
Click to expand...

He goes to account.live.com and signs in, but is told he needs a parent to sign in and give permission.

He click's the 'Have a parent sign in' button and we're returned to the sign in page.

I sign in with my Windows ID and click 'Yes' to authorise his use of a Microsoft account

We see the following message: We were unable to sign you in. Your account is missing a full name or birthdate. Visit account.live.com to update the required information, and try again.

We return to step 1 and are now stuck in a loop.

Any ideas how we fix this please?

Many thanks

Have you tried hard resetting? I've had issues where no sound would play, I couldn't access apps or Ganges and couldn't sign in. Hard resetting fixed them. To hard reset, turn on the console, put your finger over the power button until it turns all the way
off, repeat to turn it back on. If done correctly, you should see the green Xbox screen.

There should be a setting to auto-sign-in.

To turn the auto sign-in feature on or off, follow these steps:

Sign in to Xbox LIVE.
Press the Guide button.
Move to the Settings blade, and then select Profile.
Select Auto Sign-in, and then make any changes that you want.

The auto sign-in setting is saved on your Xbox 360 Console but not in the profile on the Xbox LIVE servers. If you turn on the auto sign-in feature on your console, the setting is saved on your console, but you are not signed in automatically if you
use your profile on a different console.

Only one profile can have the auto sign-in feature turned on in one Xbox 360 console. If you have multiple profiles on one console, the auto sign-in feature for the first profile is automatically turned off when you turn on the auto sign-in feature for
a second profile.

I agree as well. I was able to sign into xbox one this morning, then I thought I'd try the twitch broadcast feature. Moment I activated my twitch profile to xbox I was unable to sign back into my xbox one profile.

To turn the auto sign-in feature on or off, follow these steps:

Sign in to Xbox LIVE.
Press the Guide button. The big round one in the middle with the Xbox logo on it
Move to the Settings blade, and then select Profile.
Select Auto Sign-in, and then make any changes that you want.

The auto sign-in setting is saved on your Xbox 360 Console but not in the profile on the Xbox LIVE servers. If you turn on the auto sign-in feature on your console, the setting is saved on your console, but you are not signed in automatically if you use
your profile on a different console.Only one profile can have the auto sign-in feature turned on in one Xbox 360 console.

Now to have more than one "profile/avatar" signed in you need more then one controller. Have them press the Xbox guide button then the blue button to sign into their profile. 1 controller to each profile/avatar you want to use.

Check out my sticky post,
A Parents Guide to Xbox Online Gaming. Go ahead and send me a message or friends request if you have any other questions.

Initial Fear GW

it is possible for one live account to work on two consoles, the catch is that the "parent" Gold will need to be signed in.

For this to work for your situation, Parent Gold must set Xbox A as the HOME CONSOLE in the settings menu. All profiles on this xbox will have Gold ONLY WHILE USING THIS XBOX.

Parent GOLD will then need to be signed in at all times on Xbox B to allow any gold features to be used.
