[Q] Sixaxis

Has anyone been able to use the sixaxis controller simply by just plugging it in with a usb otg or is it still more complicated than that? Do you still need the sixaxis app for it to work correctly?

I'm also curious to know this

I was only able to pair the controller via otg cable and the app. That's better than always reconnecting the controller with my PC when I played on my PS3 before.
Is playing via bluetooth not a possibility for you?
Shadowgun is working fine for me with bluetooth. I don't like it when cables are hanging around and it's better when I play on my TV via MHL.
I just tried the new function of the sixaxis app which emulates the onscreen controls in Nova 2. That was still buggy for me, only moving worked.

Sixaxis controller on GNex???

I have the micros USB and the Usb for my ps3. I am going to run out to get a usb that connects both of them together. Should I go buy the piece or is it gonna not work and make me waste my money/...

Not sure if that will work, but there is a paid app in the market called Sixaxis Controller that'll allow you to use it via bluetooth.

Mouse on Arc

I bought this usb adapter with have on one side micro USB and on other standard USB and I tried to connect PC mouse with my phone but the phone didnt reconize that i connect mouse with it.
Can you tell me what to do?

Let me get this right maybe I read wrong are you trying to connect phone to your pc to either transfer files flash roms etc or are you trying to connect a computers mouse to your phone? If its the second one as far as I know you can't connect a mouse to a phone with a usb, phones don't have the software or drivers to do this and to be honest why would you want to.You can on the other hand use your phone over wifi as a mouse to control your pc or even Xbox with the right software many apps in the market for this.

i want to connect pc mouse with my phone and it IS possible. if u dont belive check youtube or google it. Its possible to connect keyboard and controller too.

It is possible. It is called USB On-The-Go.
OP: Does mouse appear on the screen? What firmware and kernel are you using?

im using stock. i dont see and mouse cursor cuz it dont detect that mouse is connected. For USB OTG u need rooted phone and i didnt root it yet. And i noticed that you can burn phones motherboard if u using this for i dont know how long.

Incorrect, incorrect.
USB OTG does not require rooted phone. USB OTG is a fully implemented script for SE devices, as it has official support from Sony aswell (*cough* LiveDock *cough*).
Also, mouse only requires minimum amount of power, so there is very small chance of burning your SoC (system-on-chip). If you want to use external HDD, then it would be whole other story, but mouse shouldn't be a problem at all.

AW: Mouse on Arc
My HP Mouse is working without problems with my arc.

No. I have two devices, arc s and Neo. Every mouse I tested work, including apple, dell, HP etc. It DOES NOT matter if it is rooted or bootloader unlocked. Sounds like a faulty USB otg cable to me. Or use a different mouse.
If all is working well, you should end up with a mouse+keyboard combo like mine. Thumbdrives require root.

PS3 Wireless Controller

So i plugged in my ps3 controller with my OTG cable and it worked without the need of installing an app, but playing with the wire attached is to much of a hassle. How can i play wirelessly? do i have to purchase a wireless device or something?

edit: can't use wirelessly? that can't be.
their has to be a way, are you sure?

I bought Sixaxis app it work great. You also need to download the Sixaxis pairing tool, free, to your pc to enter the bluetooth address from the tablet. Well worth it IMO.

My first part says Update:: it works wirelessly if you pair with a pc first with the sixaxis pairing tool.

I have a sixaxis controller that I paired already ot my Xperia phone. How do I clear the pairing and re-pair to my nexus?
I plugged it into OTG but even then its still paired to my phone ROFL

You can stick a small pin in through the hole on the back towards the center and upwards to the right a bit. That will reset it. Then use the pc pairing tool to set the mac address of your bluetooth as shown in the sixaxis app

Just use your pc and the pairing tool and enter the BT address from your tablet.

I bought the sixxasis app and didn't need the pc app. Just make sure your far away from your ps3 so you don't turn it on

[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'

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/orig-development/kernel-skyhigh-tw-kernel-t2806563

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)

I use PS3 Controller wireless using Sixaxis Controller app.. For the first time setup need otg, but after pairing no need the otg . Can use wireless.

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!
