    Won't turn off with voice


    I say "Xbox turn off" and it goes to the screen saying are you sure you want to turn your xbox off? I say "yes" and nothing happens. I have been turning it off with voice since I got it and it's weird that it's not turning off now. Also a few times when
    playing games I hit the xbox home button and the whole screen goes black. The only way to get anything to happen from there is to hold the power button for 10 seconds. Need help Please.

    :)

  3. Turn off voice commands?

    Okay, so I don't think there is a way to just turn off voice commands but you can turn off the kinect. say "Xbox, go to settings" and go to the kinect settings and you can turn it off. That or you could wear a headset and then other players voices won't
    be going through the tv and you can still have voice commands and hear the other players.

    Won't turn off with voice

    For the "yes" on the "xbox turn off" issue;

    1. Settings -> Power and Startup

    2. Change 'Power mode' to 'Energy Saving'

    3. Turn off xbox

    4. Leave off for a little while (20sec's)

    5. Go back into Settings -> Power and Startup

    6. Turn 'Power mode' back to 'Instant-on'

    7. Try the "Xbox turn off" voice command again.

    I believe the 'black screen' issue is known by MS, apart from what you are doing, there is not much eel that can be done.

    Want to unplug your Kinect?

    [quote user="Lord Dirt"]How can something listen for voice cues if it is off? Please explain.[/quote]



    It can't. That is the entire point of the part bolded below!

    [quote user="Xbox.com"]If you don’t want the Kinect sensor on while playing games or enjoying your entertainment, you can pause Kinect. To turn off your Xbox One, just say “Xbox Off.” When the system is off, it’s only listening for the single voice command
    -- “Xbox On,” and you can even turn that feature off too. Some apps and games may require Kinect functionality to operate, so you’ll need to turn it back on for these experiences. (June 6,
    Link)[/quote]



    You can turn off the "listen for 'Xbox On'" feature. You can turn off all features of the Kinect, according to Phil. It won't be listening. You won't be able to turn it on with your voice. It will not respond to any voice cues.



    It seems pretty simple; is there some other way of reading that statement?

    XB1 turns TV off when I turn it on

    Very helpful! One last question though... if I disable that feature I'm assuming my TV won't turn on when I use voice command to turn on my XB1 when everything is off, right?

    Xbox One August update

    Ever since the official August update, I've had nothing but problems. The system wouldn't boot into games such as Forza 5. Kinect won't recognize my voice commands, when trying to access settings the screen freezes at the gear screen. I've already done
    the unplug thing and also the button reset which only solves the issues until I turn off the system. I'm then able to turn off the system via voice and turn on again via voice, then Kinect doesn't recognize my voice.

    This August update at least for me, has made my Xbox One worse as I has very little to no issues before.
