  1. Xbox one controller only works after full power off...


    Hello,

    Setup:

    "Instant-on" enabled console.

    Microsoft controller (the white one... if it matters)

    Problem:

    When I try to power on the console (wake from sleep) with my wireless X1 controller (Microsoft official, white), it no longer works.

    If I power on the console via the "on-console" touch button, I then cannot get my controller to sync with the machine (long press the connect button on controller until the light flashes, then pressing the matching button on the side of console).

    The only way I have found to guarantee connection, is to long press the power button on the console, forcing the machine to actually turn off (full power cycle). Only then (when the machine is completely off), can I actually power it on and automatically
    connect my controller.

    This problem seems to have started when my Gold membership expired; It seems that every time the annoying "Benefits of Gold" popup appears, I also have the aforementioned controller problem.

    It may also be related to my latest purchase, Forza 6 Ultimate, but I'm pretty sure it also happened during a GTA V session... Can't confirm.

    Aside from setting my console to power saver mode, and have it do a full cold boot every time I want to play, can anyone suggest any process by which I can remedy this problem?

    Thank you!

    :)

  3. 2 Wired controllers both try to be player 1, input only accepted from last controller that is plugged in

    I purchased 2 brand new, wired microsoft branded xbox 360 controllers for use with my xbox 360 E console. When both are plugged in, they try to be player one, and only the last controller plugged in will work. Similar to the problem documented
    I haven't gone on the buy even more controllers for testing.

    Troubleshooting steps taken.

    1. powered off the console, power it back on, with both controllers plugged in. No change.

    2. power off the console, unplug power from the console. power on the console with both controllers connected. no change.

    3. power off the console. Power on the console with no controllers plugged in. Plug controllers in after console is powered on with nothing else connected, no change.

    4. Plug controllers into different USB ports, including the ones on the back of the console, no change.

    5. With no contollers connected, power on wireless controller, it comes up as the first player controller. plug in first wired controller, it comes up as player 2. Plug in the second wired controller, it also comes up as player 2 and only the second wired
    controller that was plugged in works.

    6. With no contollers connected, power on wireless controller as the first player controller. plug in first wired controller, it comes up as player 2. power off the wireless controller. plug in second wired controller, it comes up as player 2. only the
    last wired controller that was plugged in works.

    Each controller works by itself, so I have no reason to believe the controllers are faulty. All of the USB ports work. I have to think there is some software problem.

    Xbox One S Controller Does Not Turn On Console. Also, Controller Remains On After Turning Console Off

    Hi, power the xbox and controller on, then press and hold the power button on the xbox for 10 seconds.

    When the xbox powers off pull the power cord out of the back of the xbox and wait two minutes. Reconnect the power cord and press the power button on the xbox to power it on. Power on the controller and then try using the controller to power on/off the xbox.
    This solution worked. Thank you!

    For anyone else reading having this issue, I still had to re-sync the controller after going through the above process, in order to solve that problem. After turning on the Xbox one with the power button sync it the normal way by hitting the sync button
    on the front of the Xbox One S, and then holding the sync button on top of the controller. Thereafter, the guide button on the controller will power on the console.

    However, the above solution did immediately fix the fact that the controller wouldn't turn off when I powered the console off.

    Powering on problem

    I had the exact same problems as you with the turn on function and weird controller behavior after. Turned out it was a defective power brick for the Xbox One. I only found this out after the power brick overheated and shut my Xbox off in the middle of Madden.
    If you touch your power brick and it is hot to the touch (it should only be slightly warm) then you have the same issue as I did and you should return it to the store for exchange. I did this and the turn on feature works perfectly on the new one.

    Dead wired pdp xbox controller

    After much experiment it turns out my Xbox isn't responding to any of my controllers and I tested them on a different Xbox and it still work. My wireless controller can turn the Xbox on but the controller immediately turns itself off in seconds dispite being full charged or even with new battery.

    Edit- I managed to fix the problem, had to turn off xbox and unplug power cable for a good bit. Thank for your support.

    Brand new Xbox One

    Hello,

    For controller not syncing, its best to connect a USB cord to the controller and your xbox and perform a full power cycle. Then after powering your xbox back on, remove your USB cable and try to re-sync your controller. However, is this doesn’t work, you
    can click this link to try to troubleshoot it on your own.

    Controller randomly not working for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racig

    So far it seems to only be for this one title. I only have wireless controllers and don't know anyone with an xbox 360 to try the game on. There was only the one controller activated and not working for the one button, after restarting the system it did
    work again, but the next time we tried to repeat it, it didn't work. It seems to be a game of roulette as to which controllers are going to work every time the xbox is turned off.
