XBox One controller randomly pauses

KingNeb · Jan 27, 2014

All of this experience has come while playing Call of Duty.

My XBox One controller will randomly pause my game. This makes my party chat happen through the Kinect and I can hear the regular game chat through my headset. The same thing will happen if (while in party chat) I plug in my controller to charge (I have
the play & charge). I start a party chat & everything is fine until I plug in my charge cable and I hear my party through both my headset and Kinect. My party can only hear me through the Kinect until I exit the party and restart it. The problem happens
every hour or two when I'm in party chat while using my fully-charged controller. The game will pause and my party chat is transferred through the Kinect. I cannot hear my party through the headset & they can only hear me through the Kinect. I can then
hear only the game chat through my headset.

Thoughts?

controller or console?

My day one controller randomly drops as well. Very occasionally. It's never been a huge problem as it pauses the game (I rarely play online). Maybe 6-10 times in the year

Random Controller Disconnect

The problem I'm having is that my controller just looses connection to my Xbox One Randomly, some days it happens 2 to 3 times others not at all, its not in need of a charge either as its fully charged when this problem accures. When this happens it throws
me into the pause menu or onto the select sides on fifa, When this happens online where you cant pause the game its very frustrating.

.

It only stays disconnected for about 2 seconds then reconnects on its own, I'm also wondering that if i do need to send my day one controller in for a replacement would it be replaced with a day one edition controller? I do hope so because i wouldn't be
happy in loosing my day one bonus. Thanks, Gary.

Happens to me too - exact same issue

If I leave the party and have my friends send me another invite it works fine again

I've been having a similar problem. For me, whenever either of my controllers die it rewinds Netflix all the way to the beginning of the episode/movie. (I have a day one edition controller and a store bought extra.) It's especially annoying because it goes
to the fastest rewind speed before the controller dies/shuts off and by the time I turn it back on the episode is completely restarted.

Only noticed this so far in ghosts. Very annoying. Thought it was me, then thought it was the controller, maybe the kinnect, or maybe just the game. Maybe it's Gremlins ?

Hi Eshiki, i have been having the same problems. spoke with MS support ran through a few things but no solution. I figured the Kinect was hearing things and causing the game to resume. I have just removed the kinect sensor and so far no problems! think this
maybe the reason my games have been going to home screen as well. made a quick video showing how easy it is to trick the sensor!
