Hi I was having exactly the same problem and it was really starting to annoy me, anyways I'm on a stock t-mobile UK phone and an update called 1.110.84 came out which seemed to fix the problem completely. If your having this problem its probably your software build so even though I've never done it myself I would suggest flashing a new Rom or something, hope this helps.
Does anyone know of any good bt controllers that I could use on my one x for games etc?

I don't have my phone yet (coming later today) I wonder if sixaxis works.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
anyone try it yet?
wont work on sense roms well tbh don't really know about s4.0 but on previos sense based roms sixaxis does not obtain the required permissions for bluetooth. should work on a ice non sense rom running on a one x.
Phonejoy's should work, they worked with other recent HTCs that I'd tried. I get my One X next week and have Phonejoy's, WiiMotes, Datel Retro Wireless, Logitech F310 and PS3 controllers at home. Will let you know which work!

I would guess that if Wiimote works, then they finally got the Bluetooth HID drivers working....

Can confirm that a Dualshock 3 works. needs root and the Sixaxis app.
Working on Coredroid ROM on ShadowGun nicely. just need the Kidigi HDMI dock now to play it on big screen

I have a rooted and de-odexed rom running ICS. Have attempted to overwrite the bluetooth .apk as per: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560647&page=2
Sixaxis won't ID my bluetooth, or pair after changing the master.
After pressing the start button, the sixaxis compatibility fails to connect.
Are there any ways to get sixaxis to work without removing sense completely? Can anyone confirm it working on a rooted vivid/raider??
Not sure exactly what your doing but i found the instructions for pairing misleading.
After changing the master ID you need to unplug the usb cable in order to pair it, instructions doesnt tell you to unplug it until after it's paired. if you try and pair it with the usb pluged in it says failed and tells you to plug it in when in fact you actually have to unplug it.
I have a sense rom and it works fine with it.
I never had to do anything with overwriting the bluetooth apk.
Shouldn't need to adjust anything what so ever, if you have a ps3 pad you can use sixaxis and it works like a charm, you can also set buttons on the ps3 pad to emulate as hardware keys on your phone, as well as emulated touchscreen controls,
You could add the left analog stick and a certian area of the screen, and it'll only go within the radius of that area.
I can confirm that Sixxaxis works like a charm on the HTC One x, I use it for FPSE (psx emulator) Cs 1.6, Shadowgun, Minecraft, GTA III, and BFBC2 ! If you like i can setup a video on how i done everything
You will need to root it and have SU !

I've got the stock at&t ics rom(rooted/su) and sixaxis compatibility doesn't seem to connect.
The compatibility checker says click start to show local bluetooth, however, when I start the utility no local address is displayed. Went into setting and checked the address manually.
I downloaded the pairing utility and ran it on my laptop to change the master id.
When I try to pair the controller it says connect via usb. I did try pairing it without it connected.
Without being able to pair it, the checker indicates an error: failed to configure bluetooth. Not a huge surprise. Am I missing some steps? I've tried this many different ways. Thanks for the earlier responses.

AT&T? Is your CPU S4 then? Maybe the Qualcomm uses a different Bluetooth stack because my Tegra3 works perfectly with sixaxis controller app.
If compatability checker doesn't succeed then it probably won't work for you.
Also it must be a genuine controller. Fakes don't seem to work.
After changing master on laptop to the MAC on the app and unplugging the lead you should power on the controller so it is flashing then just press START. That activates the driver and it should show text ending with "client connected:1"
The PAIR CONTROLLER button is for tablets which have USB host functions and can then pair directly without the laptop step.

If there is no address for your local bluetooth on your phone, have you tried checking what the ps3 bluetooth address is and trying to manually search for that address using sixaxis?
It'll usually tell you the address of the ps3 if you had it paired to it last, then just use that address for the manual pair on sixaxis basically

This guide might help? http://www.androidnz.net/2011/10/at-your-own-risk-how-to-use-ps3.html
(made for S2 but same process)
Also, guide for key mappings in Shadowgun: http://www.androidnz.net/2011/10/shadowgun-with-ps3-controller.html
Okay i'll get on a vid tut tomorrow, can't do it right now as i have to be up for a bike test tomorrow ;d. I'll leave links for and give a proper explanation about how to setup your controls properly!
Argh so I'm following these guides to the letter and I still can't get this to work.
I've got everything installed correctly , I change the Master address for the controller on my PC, everything goes fine up until I unplug the controller from the PC and hit the Power button on the controller for it to pair with my phone. all 4 lights just flash on the controller and eventually go off and do nothing. Now while that happens, the phone says "Client connected:1" like its suppose to. But the controller is not connected and will not do anything at all.
I than plug it back into the computer and it seems whenever I unplug it, the master change doesn't save and it goes back to its default BT address.
I'm assuming the problem is because the master won't stick OR that's just because the controller isn't connecting to the device so it resets itself to its last known use? Thing is, the controller is brand new and has never been used on a PS3 since I don't own one.
Anyone have any insight on this? Spent $35 for the controller and another $2 for the app and can't use it at the moment :/
NOTE: My phone is the sprint GSIII despite what my sig says due to build.prop changes
EDIT: the compatibility checker indicated its compatible.
Do I need a USB OTG cord to connect it for the controllers first time being synced to a device maybe? Don't have a ps3 to connect it to unfortunately.
little bump, i have no useful information other than i read there was a way to pair the 2 using only the phone, not sure where i saw it tho, maybe on a youtube video on setting up sixaxis?
Im very interested to see if this works, as i want very badly to play n64 and other games on my projector with the mhl adapter, instead of having to use the usb for the controller, i would try it but don't own a sixaxis controller atm.
I did it with the otg cable with out a pc took me a minute to get but it worked. so I unplugged it. It is now wireless so I tried to Play dead trigger and a couple of other games and the controls wouldn't work right I was able to control the phone from the ps3 controller but no games and with the controller plugged in via otg cable games worked great

I have the AT&T version but I am sure they both work the same way.
Make sure you grab the correct bluetooth address from your phone, says it at the bottom of the phone in the app.
Then download the drivers and sixaxis pair tool application on the PC, make sure they are installed! Grab your PS3 dualshock controller and connect it to your PC. It should go through installing the drivers/making sure you have them installed, once its complete your current controllers master will be shown at the top. You need to change it so that it reads the same as your mobile phones address.
Once that is complete go back to your phone, open up the program and start the driver, now hold the ps button until you see it sync, if it isn't syncing then you have a problem with the address of either your phone or controller.
Or...
You can actually make a cheap OTG cable yourself with stuff you probably have laying around the house. All you need is an USB extender cable and a micro USB cable, along with some wire and a soldering kit.

When I used the app with my nexus s I had to use the computer tool, now with the galaxy all I had to do was plug it in with an otg cable, pair, and make sure you change the input method. Now I just start the app, press start on the app turn the controller on and it pairs instantly.

Yeah I got everything down but for some reason the controller isn't saving the master change. As soon as I unplug it from the PC after changing it, it goes right back to its default master. I continue to press the button on it anyway to pair with my phone and my phone said Client connected: 1 like its suppose to, but the controller lights just keep flashing another 5 seconds and it shuts off.
Assuming the master change isn't working. Tried both the new and old .exe's on the dev's site for the PC pair tool. :/
So if I get an OTG cord, I can do the initial pair with that and than it will pair wirelessly from there on out or I have to always use it with the cord that way?
Thanks guys.

Have you tried using another PC program like MotionJoy? Downloading their drivers to see if you can change the master address with it instead? That would be my next suggestion if you are having issues with the master not sticking, obviously the best option would be to connect it to a PS3 first to make sure you at least have a default master.
If this doesn't work let me now, I'll try to think up some other ways before you have to purchase a cable to make it work.

Yeah I tried motion joy and the controller works great wired to the computer (Works on the PC I mean) but I don't have a Bluetooth adapter for my PC to pair it with unfortunately.
Note that whenever I sync the controller to MotionJoy, I'm unable to use that USB port with SixaxisPairTool because MotionJoy drivers were installed with that port and motionjoy instantly picks it up and makes it unrecognizable to the sixaxistool program (Uninstalling motionjoy solves this) but just thought I'd throw it out there.
I clicked BluetoothPair in motionjoy and the BT address shows different than the one Sixaxistool shows, when I choose Custom Master or whatever it says and type in my phones, it "changes" it on the screen and says it changed, I than unplug it from the PC and start the app on the phone, Press the PS button on the controller and the 4 lights blink, the phone says Client connected:1, but the lights all keep blinking and than shut off. If pressed again the blink than turn off. I than connect it back to the PC and the BT address is shown as the default one from before I choose custom.
Pretty much the Change Master only stays while its connected to the PC, soon as I unplug it the master resets. I verified that by changing it, closing the programs (Both motionjoy and sixaxistool, at separate times of course during their own individual attempts) and than reopen either program and it shows what I changed it to still. But like I said as soon as the cord comes out it resets.
Sorry for the wall of text, just trying to provide as much info as I can. I ordered a cable but that can always come in handy anyway and I'd like to see if we could still solve this without one maybe to save some cash for anyone that has this problem in the future ya know!

I know there was an issue with MotionJoy with having to put the address in "backwards" before it paired, I don't know if that was fixed or if that is still an issue. It's odd that it works fine when you plug it in to the PC but once you try wireless, it resets... I guess it's because you have yet to use the controller AS a bluetooth device, it has always been a wired connection. So you either have to pair it with a ps3, or with another bluetooth device.
Maybe you should just wait on the cable haha

Hahah yeah I pulled enough of my hair out and gave in on the cord thanks for trying though! I agree its probably related to being a new unused controller.

Argh okay got the cord. Controller works fine as a game pad. Works flawlessly on ShadowGun and Dead trigger which both have game pad function built in.
Can not get it to connect via Bluetooth still..
Tried exactly what the video showed and such.
Only thing I can think of is the controller could possibly be dead? Which I doubt because all the trouble shooting I've been doing (Connected to PC for an hour trying to get motion joy to go, connected to my phone the past 15min, I even plugged the USB into my wall adapter for my phone to see if it charged. Lights just blink than go off after like 5minutes. That mean its charged or what? Don't have a ps3, does it need one to charge? :/

Is this an OEM Sony Controller? Chinese fakes aren't going to work. Same thing with Wii remote clones.

I think its OEM? How would I go about checking?
It was this one:
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0015AARJI/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1341986008&sr=8-1
But it wasn't the Amazon seller by default when I got it, it was a seller named Wireovia, they've got 4.8 stars with 3559 ratings so I didn't really think much of them being fakes? Price was $39 though I don't see them in the list of sellers now, but they were default before.
Also the controller didn't come with a cord, is that a sign of a fake or is that the same with Sony's official?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
EDIT: Well crap. I was looking at "How to spot a fake" guides and they mention two definite ways of telling, one being the battery inside is different and another being there is no screw under the sticker on the back on the official, whereas the fakes have a screw under there.
Now mine has what looks to be a screw without a screwable head on it under the sticker. Maybe the new fakes have the head of the screws taken off because they knew it gave it away? Idk. Going to take it apart tomorrow and see the battery.
Anyone know if its possible to return an opened item? Purchased June 29th received it on July 3rd. It came with an amazon lable saying "Returning is easy, go to our website blah blah blah" but mentioned it being unopened. Hmm..
Call Amazon's 800 number and tell them this isn't a genuine controller, and is giving you pairing difficulties. You don't have to say what kind. Ha ha. You should get your money back no problem.
Can others on the Canadian gsiii variants download the Sixaxis app from the market? Play thinks it's not compatible with my device (d2can / rogers).
I remember from before this app had issues working on devices running sense or touchwiz ui and I had problems with it on my stock vibrant and sgs2 but it runs well on aosp based roms.so today I flashes aokp r3 and low and behold it works now! Played
Dead trigger flawlessly earlier.T-Mobile sgs3 btw.
I've read over the internet that the Playstation 4 controller will work with the aftv but when I try and sync it up with it the controller just blinks white and then turns off and the aftv says fail to pair. Does anyone have this same problem and know of a workaround?
Thanks
I have the same problem. I can't get it to sync up no matter what I do. It does work while plugged into the firetv. I don't have a PS4 though so that's the only thing I can think of why mine doesn't work. Maybe it has some kind of software update that it needs from the PS4. I did buy my remote right when it first came out because it was a really good deal. I think it was priced wrong. Do you have a PS4?

Same here, is there a USB dongle like the one for the xbox controller.
For the past 3 days I've been struggling to set up my PS3 contoller to work on my HTC One M8. First, I tried USB/BT Joystick Center and got the D-Pad to work, but couldn't really figure out the proper button configs so that games could detect them. Most of the other controller apps require root; therefore, I went ahead and did that. Then, I installed Sixaxis Compatibility Checker and it told me that my phone was compatible with the main app so I went ahead and bought it. Well, lo and behold it doesn't work. It seems that unless I override the MAC address of my controller, it won't let me pair up via OTG, Bluetooth-only seems to be the only way. Unfortunately, I can't do this because the drivers that I need to install to do this render my controller unusable with my PC games for some reason. I missed the refund window so I gotta make this work somehow.
You don't need OTG to link ps3 to phone. I've used the app many times on both my tablet and phone. I even use my ps3 on my laptop to play android games through emulation. I'll have to get with you later. Its 4am here, so give me time
