  1. Xbox One S Issues


    Hi,

    Experiencing a few issues using the Xbox One S.

    Firstly, since the last update, Cortana will not respond to the "Hey Cortana, Xbox On" command from instant on, but when on, she will respond to all commands as normal. The settings on the Xbox show Instant On is there and for voice recognition for this
    function.

    Secondly, when I switch the Xbox on, the picture appears perfectly on the TV during boot up and login, and then the picture disappears until I select the source on the TV again. This does not happen with any other application or equipment using HDMI on the
    TV.

    Any thoughts from anyone on either of these?

    :)

    Need help troubleshooting wifi connectivity issues with my new xbox one s. I never had issues with my original xbox one, but after purchasing my xbox one s I get signed out or disconnected daily. I'm thinking this might be due to having two xbox one consoles
    on the same network, but the issues persist even if only one of them is turned on.

    Xbox One S Issues

    Hey Grandma5terFunk! Are you using your headset or Kinect to issue the commands? Post back and let me know!

  5. Hey, its with Kinect. I've fiddled with the connections and to make sure the USB is secure, which it is.

    The other issue, with black screen, seems to be around the HDMI. I've switched off UHD Color setting on the HDMI port on the TV and it seems to be working.

    However, with the Kinect switch on, I think my Xbox is having issues, when I get the Xbox on, I get logged in via Kinect but it won't connect to Xbox Live. It won't even search for networks half of the time.

    Hey Grandma5terFunk! What model TV are using? For Xbox on, try saying "Hey Cortana" and then look to make sure the white light on your Kinect is on before proceeding with "Turn On". The network issue you're having is a known issue that is being looked in
    to. The current workaround is to restart the console or continue with Instant On mode off. Post back and let me know if the voice commands work any better! If i get any updates on the network issue, I will let you know.

  7. Even "Hey Cortana" doesn't turn the kinect on to hear the rest.

    Thanks for the update on the networks. I'll check it out.

    Hey Grandma5terFunk! Can you confirm that Cortana is on? If so, does reverting to the Xbox command initiate that light? Steps to revert to Xbox commands can be found
    here. Post back and let me know!

  9. Cortana is on, it works perfectly when the Xbox is switched on. The settings are for Kinect to switch on the TV and Xbox using voice commands, however, it never seems to work.

    New symptom last night, which may be connected to the Network issue, when I put the Xbox to sleep last night, the power light was slowly flashing (which I was sure happened when syncing to the cloud before shut down). However, it did it for almost 10 mins
    and sporadically, the Kinect sensor would light up and then switch off again too. It was almost as if it did not shut down correctly at all.

    Hey Grandma5terFunk! I would suggest trying the Xbox commands instead of Cortana and see if that makes a difference. Post back and let me know!

  11. It isn't making any difference, Cortana works perfectly when the Xbox is on, but will not accept the command to switch the Xbox on in the first place.

    More worryingly, the Xbox will not switch off correctly on most occasions. Each time, the white light on the box pulses slowly and switches the Kinect on and off, its like it is trying to sync and upload to the cloud, but does not give up and switch off.
    It did it for 15 mins last night before I just powered it down completely.

    I'm concerned that it is becoming faulty.

    Hey Grandma5terFunk! To clarify, have you tried turning the Xbox one using the Xbox commands instead of Cortana? Post back and let me know!

  13. Xbox One S Issues

    Hi, yes, i've tried that, it won't switch on using those either. Once manually switched on, both Xbox commands and Cortana work fine.

    The issues its now experiencing is, dropping 5Ghtz network frequently, fan is getting louder, won't power off 100% of the time (sitting with a flashing light and powering kinect on and off and won't power TV off....6 hours is its record having been left
    overnight). I'm beginning to think this Xbox One S is a dud.

    Hey Grandma5terFunk! If you believe the console is not working as it should I would suggest taking it back to the retailer or contacting
    phone support for help facilitating a repair. Thanks!

    Xbox One S - DVD & Blu-ray audio out of sync - DVD audio/video sync worse

    UPDATE: Xbox One S returned. No solution for audio sync issue on DVD/Blu-ray playback.

    After scouring the internet I cannot find a solution. The Xbox Support seems to be correct. There was an issue with the Xbox One S where the audio was not in sync with the video on DVD and Blu-ray playback. I returned the Xbox One S.

    Hopefully few other experience the issue.

    Good Luck!

    Older Xbox One has the same issue but my Xbox One S is fine.....

    Hoe is xbox this awful?

    No scam involved with releasing the One S a year or so later after the Xbox One.

    Ive not had any issues with either the Xbox One or the One S, in fact I'm quite happy.

    Games do need internet access to update, maybe this is the issue or maybe it isn't.
