Can't connect to Xbox One S controller via Bluetooth

I'm experiencing a problem with my Xbox One S controller when I try to connect via Bluetooth. The connection stay switching between ON and OFF, until the controller turns off.

If anyone can help me with a tip, I'd appreciate it.

Re: Can't connect to Xbox One S controller via Bluetooth

Hi!

I just got the same controller and my problem is I can't pair to it, it asks me for a PIN which I don't know.
And as I have read, it usually doesn't request any PIN.

I found this if it helps you: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/c … ontroller/

Seems like an old bluetooth dongle could be the problem ( I have an old adapter ), I just ordered a 4.0 one.

Post something if you manage to get it working!

Re: Can't connect to Xbox One S controller via Bluetooth

Hi,

I seem to have the same issue.
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 and when trying to connect an Xbox One controller I'm able to pair and trust it but as soon as I try to connect it jumps from connected: yes to connected: no. Additionally it says at first the ServicesResolved is yes and then no.

I've found the following thread Re: Can't connect a Xbox one controller where someone has the same issue under Debian.
One comment suggested to disable ertm (echo 1 > /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm) which helped the person in that thread but for me it did not.

If I can find anything else I'll let you know.

Re: Can't connect to Xbox One S controller via Bluetooth

I have a Steam Link and works fine in it, considering that the SO is based at Linux 3.8 kernel (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamlink-sdk).

Re: Can't connect to Xbox One S controller via Bluetooth

Hey guys!
I just got my new BT adapter, it's this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Bluetoo … +bluetooth

I tried to pair it some times but didn't go well, at least this time I didn't need to put any PIN.
After trying to disable ertm as @sanakan commented it all went smooooth and it finally paired!

I can see events on sdl2-jstest and on jstest-gtk, the bad part is that the xbox button and the 'select' one aren't recognized, I push them and nothing happens. Using Steam if I press the xbox button it doesn't go to Big Picture mode.

Apart from that, a funny thing is that xboxdrv doesn't recognized the game pad when connected with usb, so I keep using xpad when wired.

BTW, sometimes it seems that gets some time to pair it succesfully, using GNOME Bluetooth I had to remove device, turn off bluetooth, and try to pair again.

If I can help you in anything, or comment on any package version, or whatever, just tell me anything.

EDIT: Just trying things... when paired in bluetooth, and then connected to USB, it loses the BT connectiong. So for getting paired it again I had to unplug the USB, turn off bluetooth on my PC, turn it on (in the meantime I was pushing the pair button on the controller and kept pairing for some time until I hit it again during 3 seconds) and then it paired again.
Now the gamepad layout is different, the select button works, but the axis are similar when using it wired with xpad.

EDIT2: oh, and the other day I updated the controller's firmware on Win10.

Re: Can't connect to Xbox One S controller via Bluetooth

Same problem here, any news?

Got my Xbox One Controller and it works fine wired but using a bluetooth dongle I can't get it to work. Pairing works fine and it gets detected but I just can't connect to it.

Re: Can't connect to Xbox One S controller via Bluetooth

Same here, don't works.

Hi,

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 and when trying to connect an Xbox One controller I'm able to pair and trust it but as soon as I try to connect it jumps from connected: yes to connected: no. Additionally it says at first the ServicesResolved is yes and then no.

Actually, it works .

I think that in my previous test I don't removed the already pared device, to pair again after desable ertm (thing that I did this time).

So, appears that you have to remove any Xbox One S Controller configured, disable ertm and pair again. Must works.

This will fix the problem only in your current session. To persist the fix, I included the command (echo 1 > /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm) in my rc.local.

I hope that helps you guys.

Re: Can't connect to Xbox One S controller via Bluetooth

If you want a better solution to disable bluetooth ertm, then edit /etc/default/grub and add the kernel flag 'bluetooth.disable_ertm=1' to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line. Then run 'sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' and reboot.

#10 Answer worked for me. Now I can pair the Xbox One controller with Antergos XFCE

Indeed. And no-one here cares about Antegros.
