Xbox one won’t display on tv after using Xbox app on iPhone

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

In this case, we just need to reset your console keeping your games and apps through the Xbox Troubleshooter page. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

Make sure to follow the steps accordingly to access it:

1. Unplug the network cable if you're using a wired network connection.

2. Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.

3. Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.

4. Press and hold the Pair button (located on the left side of the console) and the Eject button (located on the front of the console), and then press the Xbox button on the console.

5. Continue holding the Pair and Eject buttons for 10-15 seconds.

6. Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the Pair and Eject buttons after the second power-up tone.

When the console powers up, you will see the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter. Please click on "Reset this Xbox" then "Reset and keep my games and apps".

Hi MyNameIsMatt! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Of what you are using is a wireless display app, you won't be able to control the Xbox trough the tv, if your Tv supports android apps you should install the Xbox app, this will allow you to play remotely or while using wireless display the controller must be connected to the Xbox not the TV

For me, this has always been a problem, since the very first day I've put in my xbox one.

It manifests in a couple ways:

- If the directv has been paused too long, the xbox tv app will get confused, and it will take 10-30 seconds after unpausing to start displaying signal again.

- If I change the receiver to another input (ie, the xbox 360 or roku) and come back, the xbox tv app permanently loses the signal.

- When I turn the stack on in the morning, once everything comes up, it takes 10-30 seconds for the xbox TV app to start displaying sound & pictures

One other thing I've found that can fix it without restarting the whole xbox one is to force quit and restart the TV app.

You can do this while in the tv app by hitting the xbox button to go to the home screen, then click the Start button, and scroll down to Quit. This will force quit the xbox tv app. Then click it again after a few seconds to restart it.

It doesn't always resolve things, but it usually does.

This set of poor functionality has been present since day one of the xbox one release. It would be really lovely if it would ever be fixed.

My setup: DirecTV -> Xbox One -> Sony Receiver -> Samsung TV

Unfortunately, there isn’t.

The closest you’ll get for now is using the Xbox iPhone app. If you add him as a friend you’ll be able to look under the “Friends & Clubs” heading in the app and see whether or not he’s logged in and what is being viewed.

In checking the app right now, only one of my sons is presently logged in, and his Xbox is on the “Home” screen.

While the app will give you the information, it won’t notify you with any sort of alert. You’ll actually have to check.

iPhone SE with same reported problem. It's been like this for awhile for me. Really frustrating because I used to use the app to control my xbox and tv through it as a single remote.
