Xbox one controller - failed to pair

[Nearox]

Hello,

I am trying to connect the Xbox one controller via Bluetooth. It recognizes the name in list but when I try to pair it , it says “connection failed “ in top right corner .

I use the discovery mode and press the buttons accordingly on the controller but it keeps saying connection failed.

I don’t want to use the included single as I already have both USB ports full.

Does vero4k not support the Xbox one controller via bt ?

Can someone help me troubleshoot ?

Much appreciated !

Assume your controller might be similar?

Thanks for your reply.

However I already tried that and it does not work with that method… No matter what I try, this is the outcome:

I am unable to find anything on internet to resolve it concretely.

Hi,

I am facing the exact same problem. I think that backport of BlueZ from more recent version should help to solve this “connected/disconnected” loop.

[alsk]

I have same issue.

@Nearox

echo 1 > /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm

Does not help at all.

Would be nice to have an instruction for Vero 4k+ how to connect Xbox Wireless Bluetooth Gamepad which would explain step by step what is supposed to be done.

I had this issue with an old Bluetooth dongle, was BlueTooth v. 2.2, and i think the xbox controler depends on some protocol that was implemented in Bluetooth 2.3.

[sam_nazarko]

I suspect you will need to use the 4.9 kernel for this as there are a number of improvements for Xbox controllers.

I have the same issue with a xbox controller model 1914 (year 2020, for xbox series X or S). I successfully turned off ERTM and tried pairing and connecting using bluetoothctl via ssh. on the command line this even succeeds according to the bluez output, but the controller did not vibrate and the xbox logo is still flashing slowly (before pairing it flashes quickly). The controller does not control the UI.
