[Phone] Xbox, PlayStation, or other Bluetooth game controller connection issues with ROG phone
If the game controller cannot connect or does not function properly, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Charge the controller
Charge the controller for at least 30 minutes to ensure it has enough power.
2. Re-pair Bluetooth
Delete the saved controller pairing record from the phone: Settings > Bluetooth > Saved devices > Settings, delete the device.
Put the controller into pairing mode.
Search and re-pair the controller in the Bluetooth settings on your phone.
3. Check app support
Confirm that the game or app you are using supports Bluetooth controllers. Some games might require additional settings for the controller or the installation of third-party applications (such as "KeyMapping") to optimize support.
4. Update controller firmware
Check the manufacturer's website to confirm if your Android version is supported.
If the controller supports firmware updates, update it to the latest version.

Ensure the distance between the phone and the controller is within the effective range, and that there are no other interfering devices nearby (such as Wi-Fi routers or other Bluetooth devices).
6. Reset the controller and phone
Reset the controller according to the manufacturer's recommended method.
Restart your phone and repeat the pairing process.
