Hi all, I hope you can suggest me some potential solutions. Here's the deal:
I installed a wifi repeater in my home, which has both a 2g and a 5g signal. After appropriately setting all my stadia-related stuff (chromecast ultra, controller and phone app) to work with the 5g signal, I found that Stadia runs amazingly both on my pc and my 4k tv, to which I have no problem linking my controller.
However... the Stadia app on my phone (Note 20) used to work perfectly and now the controller just won't connect. As in, when resetting the controller with the bluetooth procedure it does get recognized, it syncs with the app on the same wifi network (I tried both 5g and 2g), the app eventually says the controller is ready to go and gives me the code, but the moment I insert the code I get the familiar vibration and static white light from the controller, yet the app stays on the code screen and will act as if there is no controller connected. Needless to say, no controller input will work in game.
I tried connecting the controller by opening stadia on phone browser and it works perfectly, just like on my laptop and tv, so it must be the app. Any ideas?
Of course I tried to reset everything multiple times, I even reset the wifi repeater itself, restarted the phone, reinstalled the Stadia app. I also have no other wifi signal that may be conflicting. I am honestly out of options.
Have you tried to delete app data? maybe it somehow got corrupted,
From your phone settings search applications, then look for Stadia, you should find something like memory management or similar, inside this menu you can find "clear cache" and "clear app data" by doing this you will be logged out and all the associated data will be deleted.

Hello @Zan,
May I ask your smartphone brand and model?
Yes, it's a Samsung Note 20 Ultra, and it normally works very well with a Stadia controller.
Another question, after the familiar vibration, the led on the controller keeps blinking white or it stays still?
The led becomes static, just like it happens when it links successfully on other devices, or on the same device but on the browser version of Stadia.

I had to travel for a few days and when I came back everything worked fine. I was able to play last night for about an hour on my phone using the controller, having zero issues whatsoever. I suppose the problem is solved, even though I am not sure how! Thanks for your help ![]()
