Joycons keep randomly disconnecting when detached

[MaxiTheFox]

Without a CFW we’re running out of suspects to blame. Since everything is stock there‘s no harm contacting Ninty directly to see if they posses any secrets. Watch it be something silly like “turn airplane mode off and back on.”

Anyone else have any ideas?

tbf its likely my joycons are just f--ked ive droped them so many times i wouldnt be surprised if theres a bigger issue to blame

But if 3 are doing that it might be the switch.
I too have dropped mine and I don't get sync issues
I do however have to replace a zr ribbon this time after dropped my switch with a joycon bursting out of the rail.

Could be the chip on the switch, it could be the rail on the switch if there is an issue.
I wouldn't know how you test that.

yes the rails f--ked i knew that but that doesnt explain the issues when theyre detached

If that's the case it might be a short or something in the rail, there are connection tabs at the bottom of it.

It's difficult to diagnose an issue and this is just guess work

If all of gbatemp threw their joycons in a bucket and we had to guess their owners these tricked out ones would definitely belong to you as an artist. A little surprised you’ve obviously been using them to open beer bottles though.

maybe dirt in the rails? Yeah…it’s tough to guess remotely.

i was gona get another switch bc mines got a broken screen and patched so if thats the issue it should fix it?

i dont think its the rails tho bc since i broke the screen (yes ik im a clumsy f--k lol) ive been only using them in wireless while using a charging stand to charge them

Cheap shells don't bounce also cheap plastic for sure.
I'm probably going to Frankenstein my joycons with the original inner part but aside from that I'm usually pretty careful but competent enough to fix problems. I'm just glad my reedswitch glass didn't break.

Could even be something simple like the antenna is loose inside the joycon.
But I find it difficult to believe if 3 joycons are like that and think it may be on the unit itself just by what you've explained

i was gona get an unpatched switch to replace my broken (screen) redbox one so hopefully that fixes the issue

ive had this set of joycons for a about a year or 2 and recently ive started having issues wher they randomly disconnect when im playing with them detached.I have to reconnect them every time and its getting on my nerves im pretty sure Its not the batterys bc it happens even with half or 3/4 battery level.Can i fix this or do i need to replace them?

The JoyCons are known for having connectivity issues. Try moving closer to the Switch and seeing if it still happens.

 

[MaxiTheFox]

its happens even when im like a ft away so hopefully that help lol
