Xbox wireless controller doesn't vibrate in bluetooth mode

Hi there! I may know what the issue is here, as I’ve experienced it before. For me the issue was the cheap off brand batteries I had, when Xbox detects low battery it turns off vibration automatically to save power. As soon as I switched to using the play
and charge kit and/or name brand AAs the issue totally went away. Hopefully this helps, cheers!

Hi annix,

The OP posted this thread under the "Gaming on Windows PC/PC Gaming" category of the Xbox forums. Also contrary to popular belief, the Xbox One console does not support Bluetooth wireless technology. The controllers connect to the console using a proprietary
wireless technology unique to the console and the
Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10. Bluetooth connectivity is reserved for Windows 10 only and available on current production of Xbox One wireless controllers.

I hope that clears things up.

Hi hy1hl,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help troubleshoot the issue.

Have you done any troubleshooting on the Bluetooth dongle installed in your device? Do you have a laptop with Bluetooth built in or do you use some type of adapter?

If you haven't already done so, please take a look at this Windows troubleshooting guide to use your Windows settings and tools to hopefully reset Bluetooth in your machine and update all of the respective drivers:

Be sure to let us know the results from the steps listed in the provide guide!

That sounds like is a battery problem as stated above, please retry if the problem persists your device is still under warranty

I’m curious as to what in the OPs post made you think they were asking for support on Windows, I re-read their post a dozen times before replying and couldn’t parse any reference or inference to anything other than this being an Xbox One issue?
