Xbox Game Streaming controller issues on Android

So long as its paired correctly through the Xbox Game Streaming App, then yes, the Elite and Elite Series 2 controllers should both work on a mobile device via Bluetooth and wireless pairing on Android.

Having checked my WiFi speeds I have found the following.

Standard speeds. down 53, up 12, lat 12.8.

With Bluetooth controller connected to phone. Down 9!, up 14, lat 17.

Clearly the controller to phone Bluetooth connection is massively affecting my download speed.

Are there any fixes?

This is a very common problem. Depending on your phone/tablet version will determine whether you can connect your controller. For example, android users must make sure their phone version is 6.0 or higher with a Bluetooth version of 4.0. While I
am unsure of the ios requirements, I hope this helped.

That is definitely not the issue as both devices are on android 10 and bluetooth 4 and the controller works fine with both the phone and tablet with all other apps the issue is specifically while using the xbox streaming app.

Ok for anyone who is having this issue... removing and reinstalling the streaming app on the android devices fixed the issue.

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.
