    Xbox controller vibration stopped working after pairing with iPad


    The title really explains my issue. I paired my Xbox One/Series X/S controller with my iPad just for a test, and then paired it back to my Xbox One, after which the main vibration stopped working. Only the trigger button vibration engines are still working, but not the main ones in the controller body.

    This is surely a firmware bug. I tried everything, but just can’t get the vibration back. I tried:

    • Updating to the latest controller firmware
    • Unpair and pair the controller again
    • Swap to fresh batteries
    • Restore the controller profile in the settings menu
    • Turn the vibration on/off in the settings menu
    Nothing works, and the controller is just a couple of months old. Did anyone else have this issue, and does anyone know how to fix it? Im throwing it down from the balcony soon…

    :)

    Xbox controller stopped working due to playing too much Forza?

    Hello, I read your question, and I believe I understand your position. The Xbox Ambassadors are here to help.

    I can understand your controller not working and believing it has a vibration caused malfunction. One of my controllers was vibrating after I got eliminated in fortnite one time, and never stopped vibrating after that. Even if I plug it in now after about
    six months of no use, it will still rumble uncontrollably. I have found that proper controller maintenance, care, and cleaning is essential to a long-lasting controller life. May I ask you, is it a corded or wireless controller? If it is a corded one, I would
    suggest changing the cord leading up to it. If it is a wireless controller, I suggest unpairing it, then pair it back to the Xbox.

    Cannot turn off vibration on a Bluetooth Xbox controller

    Hello PilotAbileen27!

    I followed the steps as you wrote, exept from saving the profile after unticking the Turn on vibration box, because I cannot find how to save. I choose Slot 1, my controller does not vibrate while connected via usb. But I cannot connect via bluetooth
    unless I make the pc forget the controller and then re-pair. This happens every time xbox accessories is started. After re-pairing bluetooth works without problem but the controller vibrates.

    The no scroll down issue on 1366x768 resolution:

    Xbox Controller can't connect to multiple bluetooth paired devices

    I see. Since we’re trying to switch a device to connect with, I am afraid we have to reset or pair again the controller onto the previous one.

    But have you tried pressing the sync button on your controller for 6 to 10 seconds until it vibrates to unsync it from your iPad?

    Xbox controller not pairing/vibrating

    Hello, how are you? Hope you're well. My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community. I believe that because the update stopped at 95% it is likely that the data has been corrupted. Have you ever tried using your controller with a USB cable to see what happens, if so when connecting the controller with a cable it works normally or does the same problem persist?

    Please try the procedure below.

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Remove accounts.

    Select the account that you want to remove, and then select Remove to confirm.

    After removing the account follow the procedure below.

    Step 1. Press and hold the Xbox button on the console for at least 10 seconds to open the Power center.

    Step 2. Then unplug the power supply from your console and wait for 3 minutes.

    Step 3. Plug the power supply back into the Xbox console.

    Step 4. Press the Xbox button on the console to turn it on again.

    Now add your account again.

    Try starting your controller with a USB cable connected to it and the console, then remove once the controller is connected.

    *Thank you in advance for contacting the community, I hope this can help you. Let me know if the issue is resolved, please.
