As both he and I said, the synch process did not work. An answer to a technical query like that is unlikely to be that simple, especially as it is something we have both already had to do when we first synched the remotes so it's not as if we don't know how to do it, hmm?

just put that on there for anyone else who has had this problem as a possible solution

just trying to help you know

and it hs worked for me in the past

My favourite thing about the Wiimote is how they magically turn on.

I HATE THAT!!! my battery is always friggin running and when im ready to play theres no battery power....they magically dont turn off.

yeah my battery power runs out in about a week if i play it an hour or 2 every day

i guess that with the vibration and the sound thought that it does use quite a bbit of battery life

You should buy rechargeable batteries like I did for my 360. It cuts down on money and they last longer.

My only turn on when I turn it on.

Well, your lucky.

But mine do.

You have the Wii on and you get up and jostle the remote by accident. It turns on magically.

What is your Wii doing on if you're not using the controller? Looking at YouTube Videos?

My remote turns off just fine when I turn the console off, I get good use out of my batteries. My remote just turns on when I hit a button when the wii is on, I don't know why everyone else is having so many problems.

When you say "jostle" does that involve pressing any buttons by mistake or just moving it?

Yeah, just hit by accident, and it turns on. How can I be more clear?

It's designed to turn itself on if u press any buttons, if that's what you think is the glitch.

I know its designed like that.

I didnt touch any buttons. It just turns on.

If I remember correctly, if you hit the A button its suppose to turn on, not any button.

If thats the case, that I hit the button by accident, which I'm pretty sure I didnt, its still bad engineering.

Look at the XBOX 360 controller, you hit a big ****ing button, and you wait two seconds and it automatically turns on the machine and the controller. To turn it off, you hit the big button again for two seconds, it prompts you if you want to turn off the controller, or the machine.

The Wii on the otherhand makes no sense whatsoever. You cant turn off an controller when you want it, and it takes the slighest jostle to turn it on. Completely unintiutive.

Just hit what exactly? The controller or a button?

You just need to store your controller away somewhere far away from your hands like in a drawer or cubboard until you're absolutely certain you're ready to turn the controller on and play a game. Although, the controller shouldn't turn on at all no matter which button you hit/or no matter how much you "jostle" it as long as the Console isn't on itself.

the wii wheel and the wii zapper are pretty wierd... I mean I didnt think they would just manufacture a plastic shell for you to put your wii controllers in... I thought it was gonna have all of the stuff in it already

wii board is pretty cool though

I kinda like the Zapper frame. Looks a bit like a more compact, white Uzi. My only real issue is that most guns tend to have the trigger toward the back, not the front. Of course, I'll keep judgment until I've played with it.

The Wii Wheel... eh. I didn't like the last wheel, and this one looks like I could steer with it in one hand.

I think the zapper looks badass. 😛

Im glad Nintendo is really gonna start taking expanding on the initial idea of the remote. The wheel looks small, but I dont think that will be a bad thing. Only problem is getting more than just the one that comes with the game. 🙄

So you did hit a button, just not the "A" button......

So you may have hit the button but you don't think you did.....

Holy shit....

I didnt touch the button.

Overall, I think the Wiimote could of been thought out a bit better.

well, when GT racing and exite truck came out, the wheel came with them but you could also buy a separate one, and you cant use the old wheel because the new one has a Z button on theback for items

i like the new one alot better, especially since it has that slt in the back to let your wrist strap hang out, its always getting in my way when i play GT racing

mine will come on if i set it down on the floor, but only because the B button trigger hits the ground and i dont realize it, happens almost every time i turn the wii off
