It seems to work fine on the Mozart.
Question. If I don't own an XBOX, can I still get XBOX live and play games on the HD7?

I should think so as most likely a lot of WP7 users won't have the console.
Yes, you can make xbox live friends etc, you can make an account and still play online with it. I think MS kinda realized that not every businessman on the planet has an xbox. I made my first xbox live account before I even owned an xbox, I am sure you can log in and do everything the same, I just hope you don't need gold to play online xD

I don't have an X-box, but I do have a live account on Xbox, and Games for Windows as well, where I use the arcade which shows up. But there is no where I can make my 3D Avatar, so I hope I will be able to do that with the phone.

since I don't actually have an Xbox, I don't go to that site often, but I am glad they put it up
Remember, you don't need to pay for XBL to use it on WP7. WP7 only requires XBL Silver (free version). You only need Gold if you're going to play online multiplayer on the actual console.

So now that we have got full HDMI out, are there any devs looking into getting the PS3 controller working with our beloved EVO? I'm aware of the ability to use the Wiimote. I've also heard they have gotten the sixaxis controller working on maemo, another linux based mobile system, and supposedly there are drivers for using ps3 controllers on windows 7? Let's get some reverse engineering going on this bad *****, I know I would love to see this!
On a side note, thank you to everyone in the community, lurkers and active members alike, especially the devs who work day and night so that we can play with our toys to their full potential!
From what I remember reading in here somewhere it has to do with the Bluetooth stack(s) used on android, where the protocol* wiimote uses is compatible and the ps3 one isnt.
*correct me if I'm wrong people

Yes this would be excellent! But how long will it be before the market devs start converting their games to be compatible with such epicness lol!?
Seriously someone should establish this

Totally possible to get the PS3 controller working.
Would require a custom bluetooth stack, custom kernel with usb-host mode to do the initial pairing, then finally pairing it with the custom bluetooth stack.
See link for more info: http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html
This would really be amazing. The wiimote ain't that great for playing many emulators unless you connect a classic controller to it.
Cobaltikus said he'll look into porting his CobaltController (Dual Shock 3 for WM6) to android about one month ago, so it might happen soon.

Yeah, I wish Nintendo made a classic controller that was standalone with bluetooth (that didn't need to be tethered to a wiimote).

Datel’s Wii Wireless Retro Controller
This may be the only place to get it as Nintendo cried about it and the vendors then pulled it.

Would that one be possible to use with the phone (with the already existing wiimote-app, because I doubt anyone will make a new one for that)? If so, I might consider buying it.
Edit: Googled, and found out that it works! Can't link it however, due to my low post count, but it was the second result when googling "Wii Wireless Retro Controller datel".

Cool, thanks! Who knew? Well, apparently you did...
So i bought a wired xbox 360 controller on ebay so i can play games with a controller on my g-slate (i know its not a xoom but its 3.1 and doesnt have a forum here...) but when i plug it in, the ring on the controller constantly flashes but never lets me use it... any ideas on what to do? It doesnt work on my pc but i read somewhere you need a software installed on pc for it to work
Thanks in advance!

Some controllers work for some people, some don't. It's rather iffy whether it will work or not. Personally, mine doesn't work either. However ICS has built in support for controllers so there is a good chance that it will work perfect then.
Aww man... looks like i HAVE to go buy an xbox now so my moneys not wasted... haha
But that does suck about it not working. Especially since this was the last tablet to get 3.1 so ICS might not happen for it

game on pc? also can use it for that or emulators but an xbox isnt bad at all i have one and love it
Ive tried plugging it into my PC but it quickly lights up and then turns off. The comp says i have a device plugged in but it wont turn back on. Vedy frustrating. Ive always wanted an xbox and theyre relatively cheap now so i may just go get one

Did you try running windows update after you plug it in? You might want to give that a try.

just clicked on Windows update and found the Microsoft XBOX controller update. Downloading now; we'll see if it works!
Works like a charm! Still contemplating getting an xbox though

If you are trying to connect the xbox 360 controller to the xoom you can´t... not without a pc microsoft usb dongle that let you do that. Its made for the pc but work on the xoom. but no stick support. Why not buy does cheap usb controllers? also you cant play all games via controller. Devs have to make theyre games controller capable. Games that support this i have only seen riptide, shadowgun, cordy...and thats all maybe there are more but dunno. I think ICS will make it more easy for usb controllers to work like a mouse and sticks to work.
i hope this helps you out
i was able to get my 360 controller to work on the g slate with an app on the market for 5 bucks. usb/bt joystick center, it has a slight learning curve but the nice thing is you can export and import button layouts since some games map differently. shadowgun takes a bit to setup but once you get it up and going there is nothing that like playing on your tv with a controller.
If its a wired controller the wireless dongle is not needed.

I just got to thinking about this. I mean besides the cool factor is there any other real reason to output your phones screen to your tv? If you have the adapter and whole hdmi out setup what do you use it for? I guess it would be neat for me for about 10min on my 51" but I can't see any real use.
I've paired mine with ps3 controller and use it to emulate ps1,genisis,snes,nes..and then hook up to TV..now o got a sweet time killer...
You can watch movies, display pictures, give presentations, play games...

Ok I stand corrected, that does sound cool. I would do that. I've got a 360 not a ps3 though. I'll have to do some googleing see if that's possible.

I thought about the whole movie thing. But with all the streaming media devices people probably already have I still don't get it. Maybe I'm assuming to much but any 360 or ps3 can stream just about anything you'd want imo. Pictures I'll never understand, I don't need to see a picture on an lcd. Presentations I can see that for the business guys who need it. Playing games, aren't you still tethered to a cord?
Use a wireless game controller.

I have not done it with this phone since I have yet to buy the cable, but with my Vibrant's TV out all the time, its easier to put the movies on the Phone instead of the game console since im connected to it more often and using the Laptop means if my wife wants to use the laptop she cant without interrupting the movie. (She could ealk the 8 FT to the desktop.. but thats niether here nor there ) As far as games, even though your tethered atleast with the vibrant, it wasnt that bad.. kinda makes the device the console and controller in one and with all of these newer games coming out its pretty nice on my 46". just my 10 cents
Here is the best reason. the NBA league pass for mobile is only $40. I plug my phone to my TV and bam! No need to pay the $160.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

You can use it for a presentation of pictures amongst friends/family.
I've used it to watch episodes of missed drama my family likes but you need to find good quality because anything over 40'' will look blurry.
Great for streaming out of market sports from the internet...just more convienent to connect your phone to the tv instead of a computer..

I would like to know this as well. I've read elsewhere that they block it from HDMI out, but would like to know if anyone has any experience with this and also if there is some way around it with a rooted device. (ie freezing some background app like you can do with the one they use to block free tethering).
Hey guys! Check out my new psp? awsome controller i got for my pixel. Works perfect on everything. Gta, emulators, and moonlight all work perfect. Paid around 30 bucks for it, LEDs are beautiful too!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0798NQSX6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So how are you connecting the controller to it? Via Bluetooth? I have a PS4 controller connected via Bluetooth and the latency issues were unreal and all the fixes I did didn't help. I ended up just using a cable to connect I directly which then works flawlessly.
Let me know, I'm curious.

I might have to pick up one of these once fortnite hits Android. The description on the Amazon product page references that lag is less than 6 seconds. I don't know if that's a typo or translation problem, but any kind of lag beyond a few ms is going to horrible for any fps game. Have you tried it with any?
Oh wow; I literally just got a $50 gift card.. and didn't know what to get; this may be it! What games support gamepads on android? Or do you use a button remapper?

Game support can be hit or miss. Most emulators or games with on screen controls tend to work. Most decent button remappers require root these days (someone prove me wrong )
