    Use Android Xbox app as remote control without signing in


    I've installed the Xbox app for my android device, when I first launch the app I have the option to sign in or set up a console.

    I dislike signing into apps if i can, so i tried selecting the 'set up a console' option which asks me to enter the code from the console update screen.

    No matter what I do i can't seem to locate this code on my Xbox One X. I've read many other posts on the same issue and no one seems to have an answer. Is this functionality broken?

    Some people have said that the phone and console need to be on the same network, which mine are. The Xbox is plugged in via an ethernet cable and the phone is connected to wifi via the 5Ghz band.

    Others have also suggested that you need to allow all connections to the Xbox, which again i have enabled via preferences -> devcie connections and selecting 'Allow connections from any device'.

    I've even tried making sure that notifcations banners are on. But nothing I have tried or what other people have suggested has worked.

    Now If i do sign in I have no problems, I'm able to connect to the console without a code. But i'm trying to avoid signing in if i can.

    Maybe somone actually has the answer as to how to get this code to show up on the Xbox.

    Thanks.

    :)

    I'd always assumed that option was for setting up a new console as opposed to being able to use the app without signing in.

    I've used it setting up my console a while back. Still gotta log into it even with that since you have to upload profile. I imagine it's more of a security thing making you log into the app everytime. I mean pretty much everything with xbox is like that.
    Before I can do anything in rewards I have to log in. Doesnt bother me since I have payment info linked.

    That's not the problem, i want to use the app without signing in at all. But I don't think that's possible.

    I’m confused, does the app on your phone make you sign in every time you use it? For me it just automatically signs me in, and when I’m home on my wifi it connects to my Xbox. Is your Xbox set to instant-on mode? That may be the culprit here.

    I see, I suppose that makes sense. I wish that was made a bit clearer. So is this code only generated when you first set up a console?
