Xbox controller on my android a71

Hi Dave L, my name is Adam.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble connecting your Xbox Wireless Controller to your Android phone while using the Xbox Game Pass app. Here are some steps that you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Make sure that your Xbox Wireless Controller is updated to the latest firmware version. You can do this by connecting your controller to your PC and using the Xbox Accessories app to check for updates.

2. Ensure that your Android phone is running on Android 11 or later, as the Xbox Game Pass app requires this version of Android to work properly.

3. Try resetting your Xbox Wireless Controller by holding down the pairing button on the back of the controller for 10 seconds, then re-pairing it with your Android phone.

4. If none of the above steps work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox Game Pass app on your Android phone.

I hope this helps.
Adam.

New Controller DOES work on an android device. Just do the usual steps when connecting a Bluetooth device. Do note that the Xbox one S Controller NEEDS an update.

TO update you have to hook it up to your pc via usb.

Browse the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 Anniversary update. Look for "Xbox Accessories"

Download the app and boot it up WHILE your xbox controller is plugged In.

Program should automatically download an update for your controller.

After the update you will be able to use your controller on an Android Device. I have tested it on my Android Tablet KitKat (4,4.2) on my Android Phone (can't remember the version) on my amazon firestick, AND my jellybean tablet (5.1.1)

Do note that the triggers are 'buggy' at least when trying minecraft. Can't remember the proper name for the problem. But games that DO NOT require triggers should work. Was playing Sonic the hedgehog on my Amazon firestick no problem.

Funny thing is my controller doesn't sync to my Desktop OR laptop (Windows 10 with Anni update) but it does with everything Android I've thrown at it.

How do I Bluetooth my Xbox 360 controller to my android phone

I have a xbox 360 controller. I can't use to play my games

yes you can connect an Xbox One S/X controller to an android device as long as the android device supports controllers. I know you can do this as I have connected mine to my android device (Amazon fire 10), and it works well. All you have to do is turn
on bluetooth on your device, and go in bluetooth settings and select scan for new device, then with the xbox one s controller, turn it on, and press and hold the sync button until the light on the controller flashes quickly. Your device should find the controller
and pair them together.

Xbox 360 controllers don't use Bluetooth, they have their own wireless protocol that Android phones can not use. The only way to use a 360 controller on an Android phone would be via a USB cable.
