When streaming your Xbox to your phone, is there suppose to be vibration in the controller...

Update: Turns out vibration is turned ON for my system, but the controllers don't vibrate.

So I guess the issue is really that when any controller is connected to my system, when it's supposed to vibrate, it turns off.

Hi ShowyF,

Thanks for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with your controller not vibrating when being used on your profile. To troubleshoot this, you'll want to make sure vibration is enabled under the settings, check out this article:

Controller Vibration - Xbox One.

I hope this helps.

My understanding is that Smartglass will let you use your phone to control movie playback on your Xbox connected to your TV. It doesn't allow you to stream movies from the Xbox to your phone. Certainly not when you're out of range of your home wifi network.

You may be able to stream movies via Xbox Movies but that's a pay per view service. It's streaming from Microsoft's servers, not your Xbox.

Is anyone else having an issue when playing Destiny 2 and using the Xbox Companion app to stream to pc, with regards to the vibrations no longer occurring on the Elite series 2 controller?

I've got a similar issue. I don't stream, i just play D2 on my xbox one and I've noticed that the controller will frequently stop providing vibration feedback while playing, even when the controller is fully charged. Firmware is the latest version, console
is updated, vibration settings are maxed in the controller settings and turned on in game.

Outside of the game, the vibration works as it should 100% of the time so far. But it's inconsistent in-game. It'll just stop providing feedback, usually for hours at a time.

I just read ( see below ) about issues with controller not vibrating )

Wireless Controller doesn’t vibrate some or all of the time when playing a game

•Make sure that the game you’re playing supports vibration. Not all games support vibration of game controllers.

•If the game you’re playing does support vibration, make sure that vibration is enabled. For more information, see the user’s manual for that game.

•Make sure that the battery pack or batteries in your wireless controller are fully charged. When the controller detects that the charge in the battery pack or batteries is low, it turns off vibration to conserve the remainder of the charge. To learn
how to check your battery level, see How to check the controller battery indicator on your Xbox One Console.

•If you have another Xbox One Wireless Controller, try to reproduce vibration in the second controller. If the second controller reproduces the same issue, it’s likely that the game you’re using is having an issue. Consult the troubleshooting information
for that game.

If the wireless controller still doesn’t vibrate after you’ve tried the above solutions, your controller needs to be replaced. To order a replacement, go to the Xbox Online Service Center.
