Lost connection to Xbox live

[Iina the Magnet]

I noticed few days ago that my games hub isn't connected to my Xbox live account anymore. It keeps saying it can't connect to Xbox live, but smart glass works just fine.

Do I need to do a factory reset or can someone smarter tell me if there's a simple way to restore it? I haven't changed passwords either.

Go to settings/email+accounts and make sure your Microsoft account is up to date. Long press it and hit "sync"

I'm having the same issue and that didn't work for me. Wonder what the deal is.

Same here, after update to Denim. :-(

I have the same problem. Is this connected to the whole Xbox Live problem affecting the One right now? Hope it gets fixed soon.

 

[Iina the Magnet]

It did appear after I installed denim, so maybe that's causing it. I really hope it'll get fixed soon, I don't know if it's because of the problems in live or what, but this sucks :/

I created an app password and entered it into my Xbox 360 account and also on my old HTC windows phone 7 windows live account. This completed my troubleshooting process. The account and privacy icons activated on my Xbox dashboard, and I could see my avatar signed in on the Xbox game hub. I've been trying to find a way to enter my app password on my Lumia 928 without hard resetting it, but I haven't found a solution. There is not an option to edit my current password under email and accounts - Microsoft account. Hopefully they put out a fix to allow us to log into the game hub using 8.1. A hard reset might work using an app password, but I haven't tried that yet.

same problem here after update to Denim(Lumia 930),even hard reset didn't solve the problem....

 

[Iina the Magnet]

So even hard reset won't fix it? I guess we're stuck with this until another update...

the games hub version 2.0.1403.2 works but version 2.0.1405.13001 doesn't work this is the latest version which came or comes with the denim update

 

[Orlok1138]

I don't have the denim update yet. And mine isn't working. Though I had to hard reset because of that chive app. So I have that "bug" that says I have denim.

HI everyone. I think the games hub is the culprit here. i got my L930 yesterday and after installing everything (with a working game center) the system updates startet. Three updates later (i got denim here in Austria - yay!). everything worked fine except the games hub.

I searched for a solution but could not find a fix. Hart reset seemed to be the only way. I did this three times, since i always updated every app and so the games hub too. The last time i looked at every app i had to update and left the gameshub out. Until now it works fine and i can access everything. i hope MS fixes the gameshub soon, so i can update my system without thinking

Cheers,
Tom

I've also noticed achievements I'm getting on my phone aren't registering on my gamer tag either.

From today Xbox back and work !

 

[Orlok1138]

Yes it does! Hip hip hooray!

 

[tommikovski]

Nope, did nothing. It just works now.

 

[Iina the Magnet]

Mine still doesn't work, maybe it'll sort itself out soon

I just launched it, and it's working now! I didn't have to do a hard reset.
