  1. Xbox app not properly recognising Xbox One S controller when connected via Bluetooth.


    I'm streaming my xbox to my pc, but the Xbox app doesn't seem to be registering that my xbox controller is connected. I've fully updated everything (I think) and windows 10 seems to be recognising the controller, its connecting just fine via Bluetooth, but
    when I start the streaming, the Xbox screen doesn't respond to me pressing buttons on the controller. It used to work but I reinstalled Windows 10, and now it's not working.

    When I start the Xbox app streaming with the controller not connected via Bluetooth, I get a warning about no controller being connected. But when I start it with my controller connected via Bluetooth, it doesn't give me the warning, but the controller is
    unresponsive.

    I've tested the controller on other games on the pc, and it works fine in them. Could it be something wrong with the Xbox app? I've also tried the Xbox app with the controller connected via USB, and it works fine.

    All the latest Windows updates are installed, and all of my drivers are updated to the latest versions.

    Anyone got any ideas or experienced something similar?

    :)

  3. Does the Xbox One S console have Bluetooth Capability? I.E Bluetooth Headsets

    There is no Bluetooth radio component in the Xbox One S console itself.

    The controllers connect to the Xbox One S the same way the controllers connect to the original Xbox One: proprietary RF. You could technically connect an Xbox One S controller to an original Xbox One, and an original Xbox controller to the Xbox One S.

    The Bluetooth functionality in the new Xbox One S controller is specifically made for connecting the controller to a Windows 10 PC with the "Anniversary" update, which has the drivers needed for the controller when connected via Bluetooth.

    Xbox Elite Controller V2 bluetooth on windows 11

    Hi there, yes. When connected to my pc via bluetooth it is only recognised as a regular XB1 controller (can't use or remap the paddles etc). The Accessories app also only sees it as a regular xbox one controller.

    Thanks

    Xbox Elite Series 2 controller connects to Samsung frame TV, but does not work to control any functions on screen

    I have the same issue:

    * the plain Xbox controller (non elite) connects via bluetooth to the TV and is recognised by the Xbox cloud app on my Samsung TV. I can use it to play games using the Samsung Xbox app.

    * the brand new Xbox Elite Series 2 controller connects via bluetooth to the TV and is NOT recognised by the Xbox cloud app.

    I tried several attempts deleting the pairing, re-pairing. Turn off TV on the power switch. Re-installing the Xbox app on the Samsung TV.

    The result is always the same:

    * The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller connects successfully to the TV and is shown as Paired and Connected in the Samsung TVs feature where you add external devices.
    * But the Xbox app shows the yellow ! exclamation mark and does not recognise the Elite Controller.

    I’ve paired my other non Elite standard Xbox controller now vie Bluetooth and USB, which works both.

    Are xbox one controllers the same as xbox one s controllers?

    You can use a regular Xbox One controller on an Xbox One S console, and you can use an Xbox One S controller on a regular Xbox One console.

    All controllers connect to the Xbox console the same way, via proprietary RF.

    If you are confused because of the addition of Bluetooth in the Xbox One S, just know that Bluetooth is only built into the Xbox One S controller (there is actually no bluetooth functionality in the Xbox One S console itself). The Bluetooth in the controller
    is just a secondary method of wireless connectivity designed solely for connecting the controller to a Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth (without the need of a
    USB adapter). It connects to the Xbox One/One S the same way as the original controllers do.
