Hi there! I see you're having trouble with your Xbox controller triggers (L and R) not responding while using the Luna Controller app on your Android device. I want to make sure I fully understand your issue: Are the trigger buttons unresponsive only when using the Luna Controller app, or do they also fail in other apps or games? Also, is your controller connected via Bluetooth or USB?
This info will help me guide you better. Meanwhile, here are some common steps to troubleshoot trigger issues with Xbox controllers in Luna:
1. Check the connection method: If you're using Bluetooth, sometimes triggers are not recognized properly. Try connecting your controller via USB cable if possible and test the triggers again.
2. Re-pair the controller: Disconnect the controller and remove it from your device's Bluetooth list. Then, pair it again from scratch through your Android Bluetooth settings before launching Luna Controller.
3. Restart Luna Controller app: Close the app fully and reopen it. Sometimes app refresh helps detect inputs correctly.
4. Test triggers in controller settings: On your Android device, go to any app or gamepad testing tool to see if the L and R trigger inputs register outside Luna Controller. This isolates if the problem is the controller hardware or the app.
5. Update the Luna Controller app and your device: Ensure both are running their latest versions. Updates often fix bugs with controller input recognition.
6. Reset the controller: Press and hold the Xbox button until it turns off, then turn it back on and re-pair.
If that doesn’t help, sometimes third-party reports mention triggers aren’t recognized over Bluetooth in some games or apps using the Luna Controller app, making USB connection preferable for full trigger support1.
Could you please share if you’ve tried any of these steps already? Or if the controller works fine elsewhere? That way I can guide you further or suggest more detailed fixes!
Thanks for the extra info! Since your wired Xbox controller triggers work on other platforms but are unresponsive in games through the Luna Controller app on your Android device, it sounds like the app might not be recognizing the trigger inputs correctly over your connection.
Let's try these steps to fix the wired trigger issue in Luna:
1. Use the “Connect Non-Luna Controllers” setting: Plug the controller into your Android device, then open the Luna Controller app and look for an option like “Connect non-Luna controllers” or similar. Selecting this mode can help the app correctly read controller inputs including triggers1.
2. Try a different USB cable or port: Sometimes the data lines for trigger inputs can be affected by damaged or lower quality cables. Switching to a different USB cable or port on your Android device might resolve the issue.
3. Check app permissions and controller support: Ensure the Luna app has all necessary permissions on your Android device, especially for USB device access. Also verify you are running the latest Luna Controller app version.
4. Restart Luna and controller: Close and restart the Luna Controller app. Power cycle your Xbox controller by holding its Xbox button until it turns off, then turn it back on.
5. Test trigger inputs in a controller test app: Install a simple Android controller tester app from the Play Store. Plug in your controller and check if the triggers register inputs outside the Luna app. If they don’t register here either, it might be an Android USB controller driver issue.
If none of these steps help, it may be a particular compatibility quirk between your controller model, Android 10, and Luna's wired mode that the developers need to address. Feel free to reply here with which exact Xbox controller model you’re using, and I can help escalate your case if necessary.
Are you able to locate that “Connect non-Luna controllers” option in the app, or would you like me to guide you through the steps within the app UI?
Great question! There are a few compatibility tips and fixes for Xbox controllers when used with the Luna Controller app on Android:
1. Use a wired connection if possible: Wired USB connections tend to have better compatibility with Luna, especially for full trigger support. Bluetooth sometimes misses trigger inputs or causes lag.1
2. Enable the “Connect Non-Luna Controllers” mode: Some versions of the Luna Controller app offer a setting that improves recognition of third-party controllers like Xbox models. This can help the app detect triggers correctly1.
3. Keep your app and controller firmware updated: Make sure the Luna Controller app and the Xbox controller firmware are both updated to the latest versions. Updates often include compatibility and bug fixes2.
4. Use official or high-quality cables: For wired connections, use good quality USB cables certified for data transfer to avoid missing inputs.
5. Check Android permissions: Make sure Luna has all required permissions on your Android device to access USB input devices.
6. Fallback to different apps or testers: If you still encounter issues, test your controller inputs with standalone controller test apps on Android to verify hardware function. Sometimes the problem lies with the Android USB driver, not Luna.
If after trying these there’s still trouble with trigger inputs, it might be worth reaching out to Luna support or checking for app updates addressing specific Xbox controller fixes.
Would you like me to help you navigate these options or check if there’s a specific Luna app update available for your device?
