[Q] HDMI out + Streaming problems

picked up a six foot HDMI cable today from walmart. (belkin)
first time seeing my phone plugged into a HD tv... and WOW! super awesome.
I have a few questions for those who use this feature a lot.
1. I see that I can add apps and shortcuts to the tv launcher app..... am i able to remove them? or remove the ones that are already there... haven't yet found a way to do so?
2. Anyone able to stream from SMB share using XBMC? i'm unable to get it to connect even though i have the user/pwd and ip addy correct. p.s. my share shows up and is accessible via ES file Explorer and Connected Devices.
3. I'm using DICE player to play my downloaded torrents on my pc via my ION .... now on my htc flyer... i have no problems viewing these files.. but on my ION sometimes the video will start and play for about a minute and then DICE player just crash/disappear and take me back to ES file explorer anyone else with this issue? if so find any workarounds?
4. in Tv Launcher app there is an icon to connect to facebook mobile... i clicked this the first time and it brought me to my facebook page but with notifications from people not in my friends list.. i checked on the computer and these pokes/notifications weren't ever there on my computer or in my notifications...<---this really freaked me out a bit...
5. anyone got the PS3 controller to connect to their ION? if so... gotta list of games it works with?
a. also anyone able to use the remote control ok to control the ION? my universal remote for my TV doesn't seem compatible...if u got it to work what kind of remote are you using?
excited to have a phone capable of HDMI out.. looks AWESOME!
thanks for any info in advance

1. I'll have to try mine again to tell you how to remove icons
5. Yes I've used the PS3 remote via USB. Dead trigger, shadow gun, reckless racing 2 work with the controller. If you root and use the sixxaxis controller app you can use any game pretty mmuch and use the controller over Bluetooth.
Used a couple Sony remotes and a Samsung remote with no issues. My cheap dynex TV remote wouldn't work.

Yeh with the dock I didn't need to use any other app for games that support gamepads. With no dock you will need a USB adapter to plug it directly in or root to use the controller app.

wow yea what kind of adapter would that be? micro usb to mini usb?

Um for the PS3 controller should be either a micro to mini cable or regular to mini I think.

PS3 Controller and Modern Combat 4

This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF_jMoLSYR0 shows someone connecting his PS3 controller to his Note using an OTG cable and playing MC4.
I use SixAxis on my S4 so I can connect to my PS3 controller using bluetooth and that works well but requires root, which, frustratingly, I don't have on my Note so I tried doing what the poster of the video did. Everything worked except for sprinting and this means I cannot even get to the first checkpoint.
I tried two different PS3 controllers with separate USB cables and separate OTG cables and exactly the same thing happened with both so I'm reasonably confident that this isn't a hardware issue (although neither OTG cable is an official Samsung one). Also, both controllers work perfectly on my S4 using SixAxis.
Has anyone else tried doing this and if so, what was your experience? The poster of the video clearly got sprinting working out of the box so I would love to know why this isn't working for me.

Double tap the left stick up. Two times up fast, this is sprint.

Excellent, thank you. It may take me a while to get used to that after years of COD and pressing L3 to sprint but I don't believe there is any way to remap the buttons so I'm sure I'll get used to it.
I have now realised that I don't know how to crouch either. I don't suppose you know how to do that as well do you?

You could go into the file that controls mapping for the past controller and try to edit it. I'd how your results would be thouugh

I would be pleased to find out that there are. I prefer playing wirelessly but I could live with using the OTG cable as long as I could get all the controls working somehow.

Does anyone know if you can use the PS3 controller wireless ? or can it only be used with the USB OTG connection?

I haven't tried it myself but I believe that the answer is yes as I said in the OP. The trouble is that you need root which, due to the stupid Knox fuse, I do not have on my Note.
I also have an S4 and a Xoom. On both of those my PS3 controller works really well.

Double tap L3 downwards. Exact opposite of sprinting

Bluetooth Dualshock 3 PS3 controller?

Anyone try and connect a DS3 to the G3? Just checking before I go through the hassle of the setup itself, it was a massive pain in the butt on my M7 and I want to play emulators on the go and be able to actually play mobile games comfortably on this beautiful screen.

Bump.

Interested in this as well.

Just get sixaxis controller from the playstore
Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

We're asking if it works and connects properly...not every phone is compatible with it. HTC devices are a huge pain in the ass for instance.

Yes it does work with it on Bluetooth if you are rooted. here is the link for the GameKlip™ - Universal CaseMount http://buy.thegameklip.com/products/gameklip-casemount. As long as you have a case to mount too it.

Guys i have a G3 and i tried to hook a ps3 controller to it but either the phone or the controller wont read eachother cause it never lights up with an OTG cable ive tried 2 different controllers and still the same result and yes my G3 is rooted cause i knew i may need root but it never reads the controller please help

[Q] Gamepad, game controller

Anyone tried to setup a controller on the tablet? I just purchased a moga power pro controller but I wa unable to set it up. It is workig fine with my S4 and the bluetooth works on the tablet becase I managed to connect the phone to the tablet via bluetooth.
Does anyone know how to setup the controller or becase it is a 3rd party device the access blocked?

Are you just trying to connect via bluetooth? I haven't done this in a long time (way back on my Xoom) but I thought you needed a 3rd party app and Root access to link them.
Someone confirm? Would love to play Soulcraft II - with a gamepad.

Moga has an app can be downloaded from the play store (moga pivot) and yes it uses bluetooth. This should work without root. If you google moga is a big name which should work on android 2.3 and above. I think the reason is samsung which is now blocking all 3rd part devices from 4.4.2 but I am not sure. I think the only option left is the samsung gamepad..

Not for $100 bucks. That's plain crazy

I use an OTG cable and PS4 controller.

It just supports it. Yes I have rooted but I have 3 Tab Pros as well that are not rooted and it works just fine on them as well. It also worked on my Tab S before I rooted. OTG is always supported on android devices.

Did you have to download any apps for button management?

I use my ps3 controller as gamepad with an adapter and it's working flawlessly. I've tested it with Dead Trigger 2 and Rayman Fiesta Run.

If anyone gets a wired xbox controller to work, please let us know what you did. I was totally just hoping it was going to work and it doesn't. (at least for me). I just get a blinking light on the xbox controller. I have the 10.5.
I even rooted and installed USB/BT JoystickCenter Gold Demo but then that gets a 'can not get access to /dev/uinput error'

Thanks so much for suggesting something but I'm too anxious to try it, since that thread says it's only for the SM-T700 (8.4") and I have the 10.5". He even specifically states it in post #3.

Has anyone been able to get the sixaxis app working? I can't... I believe it has to do with a missing Samsung Bluetooth protocol in newer Samsung devices.
That was one of my main reasons for getting a tablet!

Not that it matters but I emailed Samsung support and their response: Thank you for contacting Samsung. I see that you would like to know whether Galaxy Tab S supports hooking up to a wired xbox USB controller. I do understand your concern and requirement. However, this Tablet does not support wired xbox USB controller. Unfortunately, as of now theere are no compatible controllers that use an USB OTG cable for this model from Samsung and Samsung does not have any tested results on using PS3 controller with the Tablet. I hope the above provided information address your concern.

controller recharges the tablet
is it possible to connect the controller (that has a battery pack) to the tablet and recharge the tablet?
eg. can a xbox one controller, that has a battery pack, be connected with an mhl cable/usb cable to a tablet and be used to charge the tablet? so the tablet is not drained while playing games.
(i asked this in the accessories forum too, apologies)

Thanks for the info! I just ordered an otg cable. Are you able to get two controllers working with the six axis app, or just one? My goal is to be able to use emulators with two Wireless PS3 controllers. Thanks!

I tried that, but the Galaxy Tab won't find the controllers. I've set it up on multiple devices, but couldn't get it working on this one.
I read that the newer Samsung devices don't come with a Bluetooth protocol that is required for sixaxis to work... I hope I'm wrong!

[Q] Dualshock 3 USB-support.

I can't seem to get the Dual shock 3 (PS3 controller) to work wired with my device. It works without problems on my brother's Nexus 5. Wirelessly using the sixaxis controller app it works without problems, but through an OTG cable it doesn't. Is the device not supported? Is there any known way to add support to a ROM?
Cheers

Why not using the gamepad with Bluetooth...if it works use it with that instead of breaking your head because wired it doesn't work

The only reason I can think of is the idea it would use less battery but I don't see that being true.

Because I want to use it with gamestream and since Bluetooth and WiFi uses the same antenna it interferes and gives me lag.

Normally both shouldn't be a problem together....do you tried if your pad is connected to start the service in sixaxis app? It worked always for me doesn't matter if I used my old one x or the m8

No you can use the app without Bluetooth ... You can use it even if you connected the ps3 controller wired ...Normally it should work ... Also if it's connected wired look in keyboard settings if the pad is mentioned there.
And in sixaxis app you also need to enable the option that the pad like the native gamepad

Are you sure? The Sixaxis controller app is made to be used with bluetooth. Normally Android devices supports ps3 controllers wired natively. I'm still having troubles understanding your suggestion.
I start the app and connect USB, no luck.

If you go into the settings inside the sixaxis app you can enable that the pad will be saw by system as native gamepad...try that also ...if not it could be that your otg cable doesn't work good with the gamepad...mine works really fine without problems ...only some games aren't able to be played with this controller

That's strange because M8 supports X360 controller natively

That option only makes it look like a gamepad to the system when it's connected through bluetooth. Does it work for you? What ROM and kernel are you using?

Using renovate 4.0.1 so latest Rom and stock kernel as flar's kernel is not updated yet ... It always worked for me on every Rom or kernel and also on hox it always worked... Hm
Edit: like I said it could be the OTG cable too...often it doesn't work with some...try to get another one

I just flashed flar's kernel. The controller now works. I haven't ran into any problems either even though it isn't updated.

Yea if could be that on stock kernel some OTG features aren't working like on custom kernels were many things are added or tweaked..but orbits working now then good

The dualshock 4 controller works natively on the m8 wired.
You can use it scroll through the screens and select apps. Not all games work, minecraft being one, but a lot do.
The buttons can be a bit odd though. For example in goat simulator, the options button is headbutt. Quite frustrating.
Does anybody know if there is there anyway of remapping the buttons?
