Xbox app on Android - how to obtain code?

Hello MobyD04,

                    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. There are some requirements that must be met before the tablet can be connected with the console. The console and Android device must be connected to the same network, and the Xbox app connectivity preferences on the Xbox One must allow connections from any device.

Normally, you will see the console's name appear on a list once you choose to connect your android device to your Xbox One. After selecting your console from the list, the Xbox One will connect with the Android device. Can you please provide us with a picture of the error message that you are seeing? We will provide steps on how to connect your console to your Android device. Be sure to let us know the results!

How to make sure your console is on the same network as the Android device:

• Start up the console and get to the home screen
• Press the Xbox button on the controller to open the guide
• Go to Settings
• Select Network
• Select Network Settings
• Open the network settings on your Android device
• Make sure the name of the network is the same on both devices (If you are using a dual-band router, make sure the Xbox One and tablet are both on the same frequency. The frequencies are 2.4 Ghz or 5.0 Ghz)

How to make sure the Xbox app connectivity preferences allow connections from any device on the Xbox One:

• Go to the home screen on the Xbox One
• Press the Xbox button on the controller to open the guide
• Go to Settings
• Select Preferences
• Select Xbox app connectivity
• Make sure Allow connections from any device is selected

How to connect your Android device to your console:

• Open the Xbox app on your tablet
• Sign in to the application
• Open the menu and select Console
• Select your console from the list
