  1. Xbox controller Triggers don't work on Android after latest update


    I just (Oct 30, 2021) updated my controller via my Series X. I normally use this controller to play games remotely on my phone. (PS4 remote play, Fortnite, GForce now). I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra, fully updated.

    Ever since the update to the controller, the triggers do not work on my phone. I've tried a game pad tester app, and there is no response from the triggers.

    What's weird, is that I can use the Gamepass app, or Xbox Beta App and play just fine. The Triggers respond as they should.

    Had I known that this "update" would have ruined the ability for me to use it for these services, I would have never done it. Is there any way to revert back to my last firmware? This needs to be fixed.

    :)

    Xbox controller Triggers don't work on Android after latest update

    While playing via Bluetooth, no apps that I've tried even detect trigger movement. I had the idea to try it wired to see what happens. It now shows that there is a button being pressed, but they are not mapped to LT and RT, it's just a random button.

    I was able to use an app (Mantis Gamepad Pro) to remap the buttons to touch virtual inputs, but this only works over a wired connection. Whatever the last controller update contained, it broke compatibility. This is not a problem with my phone.

    Maybe your devs can figure it out and put it back to the way it was.

    It can be a compatibility with your software as well since it's working just fine on a different devices.

    Kindly check if there is an update for your Android phone and then check again.

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    I apologize but there is no option to revert back to the last firmware. On a handful of Android devices, certain settings such as auto-rotate and accessibility may cause the triggers, sticks, and D-pad to stop receiving input. If this is the case, disabling these settings may fix the problem.

    Kindly clear the cache of the App as well.

    Go to Settings > Apps, select the Xbox Game Pass app, then select Storage > Clear cache.

    I've tried all of those with no avail. It's working fine in the Xbox/Gamepass app.... Just doesn't work in other apps. Why would it have been working fine, and then now it doesn't work after the update?

    Does the new Xbox one S Bluetooth controller work for iOS and android?

    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.
