Xbox controllers not working correctly on my Android phone Note 20 ultra

Hi, Josef

My phone version is Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. I reinstalled minecraft several times, but I get the same error. I also rebooted my phone. This didn't solve the problem.

Samsung galaxy Note 20 ultra 5G ,i did it, but not work

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.

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.

Hi Yigital,

Thanks for the reply. To be honest any Android charger will work. If you have one for an Android phone it will work for the controller.

Thanks,

Brad
