Xbox One Controller (Bluetooth) can no longer pair with Android 5.0 phone as before.

ToroidalCobra92 · Nov 24, 2016

Well, I recently bought an xbox one controller with bluetooth technology, I first paired it with an android 5.0 phone and it connected perfectly, then I paired it with a Windows Mobile 10 phone and it also connected very well, in the end I paired it with
a Windows tablet 10 Anniversary and indicated error when trying to connect by bluetooth, I followed a tip of updating the firmware of the control through the Xbox Accessories app, when finishing the update try to pair it again with the tablet and finally connected
correctly.

The problem comes when I try to connect again to the Android 5.0 phone, it shows the following message: "Could not pair with Xbox Wireless Controller because of an incorrect PIN or passkey".

I already did the process of unpairing and re-pairing, but the result is the same. I even did Clear Data and Clear Cache from Bluetooth Share and even made a Reset Factory on the phone and without success.

Has the firmware update been on the controller, which caused the problem with the phone?

P.S. With the exception of the Android 5.0 phone, the controller still works perfectly with the Windows 10 tablet and the Windows Mobile 10 phone.

How can I solve that? Any suggestion? Has someone else ever happened to you?

:)

Xbox One Controller won't connect to my Sony Xperia Z3+

Hello.

I recently purchased the new Bluetooth Xbox One Controller for my PC as well as for my Android and to use as a second controller for my Xbox One that I'm buying in the future.

I have no issues for my PC as I'm connecting it through a wire and it's working absolutely fine.

However my issue is connecting the Xbox One controller to my phone, my phone can "detect" it through a wire and provides power to it, however it doesn't register the inputs at all. The controller doesn't see my phone as a device that it can send inputs to
through a wire so it remains off when it's plugged.

Another issue with it is that it doesn't connect through Bluetooth either. When I try to pair both devices, my phone gives me an error saying something of an incorrect pin.

Is there a known issue? It works fine with other devices, but not mine and it's extremely annoying.

The controller is all updated and my phone is all updated.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Hey there ToroidalCobra92,

Bluetooth is actually not supported on Mobile Phones with the Xbox One controller, in some cases it can work, but there isn't a specific guide to troubleshoot it. It's designed for Windows PC's ,Tablets and Laptops. So we don't have any real steps to offer,
but you can try this guide and see if it helps! Connect and troubleshoot Bluetooth on your Xbox One Wireless

Hope it helps!

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.

first of all when you do these steps as per link i provided is the Xbox controller on the Bluetooth settings on your hone. Can your phone find it??? Make sure your phone is up to date also and just like pairing a headset on your phone either turn the Bluetooth
on and off and make sure its searching for the Bluetooth. It should work i have several paired on my phone but i have a pixel iPhone and Samsung.. the lg should work too. Make sure its compatible
