Stadia Controller keeps disconnecting from ONN Android TV Stick

Hello,

 

I bought the Walmart ONN Android TV stick mainly for Stadia, and because it runs Android TV and it's much better than Chromecast Ultra that came bundled with the Stadia Controller. 

 

But the controller works one time and over night or after a few hours it disconnects and has to be paired again.

Any chance this could this be updated and fixed anytime soon? 

 

Given the fact that the ONN TV is only $20 at Walmart and an excellent streaming device so far cheap, fast, and has Chromecast built in as well, it would be nice to have it work properly. I mean who wants to keep switching input to Chromecast just to play Stadia and switch back to another input  for everything else? Chromecast should not even exist. 

Thanks for all your help!

Hi @Cryptonight,

Have you tried doing a hardware or factory reset of the controller to see if that might help it stick?

Yes I reset the controller hardware and tried 3 different WIFI including two different 5G and a 2.4G wifi that I have for guests which is very frustrating because its my phone, my ONN Androit TV and my phone, all 3 have to change to  3 different wifi to test and it NEVER works. 

Result is the same thing. Very frustrating that it NEVER works if left along for more than 30 minutes. Now its taking 10-20 tries to do the XBleftY thing and still NEVER connects, I have not been able to use it at all in the past two days. 

 

All it does just blinks white, I do the KEY combination, sometimes it rumbles sometimes it doesnt, then does two more rumbles and blinks orange.

Do you have a Chromecast that you can test the controller with to make sure it's working there?

I don't have an ONN TV device but I haven't run into any issues getting my controller to link with the Stadia app running on my Chromecast w/ Google TV.
