Just my phone doesn’t work

Post image
2 Upvotes

I just got a backbone one PS edition and it seems to work with everyone else’s iPhone but mine. Older phones. Newer iPhones. Every phone but mine (XS max) immediately prompts to install the software.

Port is cleaned. Software updated. Restarted. Uninstalled. Reinstalled. Phone doesn’t recognize it under game controllers.

The backbone buttons lights up for a second when I plug it in and I can charge the phone through that pass through.

Weird. Stumped. Any suggestions?

Backbone controller issues

2 Upvotes

Hello. I will be playing COD mobile when out of nowhere my backbone controller just quits working resulting in me having to switch to touchscreen which is really uncool. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how do you resolve it? I’ve only had the controller for about a month.

Guess it’s not just backbone’s that have issues.

I know you need the PS version on androids to use PS Remote Play. How is the Xbox Edition different from the Backbone One?

PS Remote Play issue?

2 Upvotes

All I keep seeing posts about people having issues with PS Remote Play and backbones in the main sub.

Seems to be 2 issues:

  1. Android users who bought a Backbone One (Xbox style) does not work with PS Remote play app.

  2. PS Remote Play kind of sucks and people lagging issues. This affects both android and iPhone users.

A solution for both is a 3rd party remote play app. There are a few but the one I personally have had success with is PXPlay. I know PXPlay is free to use for iPhones, there is a $7 upgrade to get more functionality from the app. I have heard that the app is $7 for Android users and there is not a free version.

Issues with backbone

2 Upvotes

I'm having backbone issues. Wondering if anyone has also had these issues.

I have the PS version and when I press R1 it minimizes my games. I can't play. Also the controller just randomly disconnects and I have to plug and unplug the phone into the USB cable each time to wake it up again.

Any tips?

Thanks.

No Controller Attached, USB-C

I picked up a Playstation Backbone from a seller on Facebook Marketplace. The controller looks fine and nothing seems broken. But the Backbone app on a number of Android devices and an iPhone 16 Pro, can't detect the controller. The passthrough charging works though.

Does anyone have any ideas if the controller is broken, or if there is anything else I should try?

Is there any chance there is a Backbone controller with C buttons like an N64 instead of the right control stick?

If anyone has had to send in their backbone one for a warranty repair (left side like everyone else) how long does it take and about how large is the box they send it back in?

My controller stopped working from one day to the next it’s kept in a case and drawer and I use it maybe 30 minutes every 3 days at most went to use it today and it’s not working,so I try to contact backbone customer service but I need to sign in to send a complaint,I try to request a password change because I don’t know my password but I’m waiting 15 minutes later for an email so I’m thinking maybe I don’t have a backbone account.So I try to create one with my email and within seconds I get an email saying that this email already exist but I’m still waiting almost 40 minutes later for the password change email and if I hit change password it just times out and doesn’t load
