MOGA gaming controller and WiFi problem... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

So I have the MOGA gaming controller and every time I use it it messes my wifi up... Once I'm finished using the controller it tells me that my wifi is not in range and it won't connect no matter what I do until I reboot my phone. Does anybody else have the same problem or know of a way to fix this? I have contacted the company who makes the controller multiple times and have never received a response back. I'm stock unrouted.

I have one too and it stopped functioning after 2 months. The power switch is so sensative that any tap on the controller would cause it to turn off. At first that was the only problem and now it wont even connect via Bluetooth even after using different Roms. But I never experienced your issue. But again I only used my controller when I was at work and I dont use WiFi there.

wii controller?

I've heard that something with bluetooth and the sense ui causes wii controllers not to connect with the phone, so I've tried out cm7 and 9 and both were having issues with bluetooth working at all for me. does anyone know any tricks or something that i'm missing to be able to connect and use a wii controller?
Im using wiimote controller and its working fine for me in cm9

hmm, forgot to mention that i have a cdma model, htc_a510c. i've tried simonsimons cm7 and cm9. for cm7 it would let me turn on bluetooth and on the phone seemed like it had turned on, with the little bluetooth icon on the top bar and whatnot. but when i tried to find anything with it it wouldn't show up, so i had just assumed it wasn't really working correctly. for cm9 bluetooth just wouldn't turn on at all, i'd try to enable it and it would say 'enabling bluetooth...' but then just stay there :/
Try modpunk's cm9 for marvel c, in alpha6 i'm sure Bluetooth is fixed, try it.
ah cool, i didn't know he had one that worked for marvelc. i'll give that one a shot, thanks
well that didn't work either :/, same problem as the other cm9 i tried. the bluetooth says 'turning on' but just continues saying that instead of ever actually turning on :x

(Q) wifi/bluetooh issue

Weirdest thing I found after purchasing the Moga controller for my note 2. When I have my bluetooth enabled I get all sorts of wifi issues. 1st was it would disconnect from my access point and go to 3g. Once I opened my wifi settings I would notice that my access point was disabled and I had to force connect again. Did some searching and disabled the sprint smart connection or what ever is called. It worked! Played around a bit and was extremely happy. Few minutes ago I felt like doing some testing and apparently now I noticed when bluetooth is enabled my wifi will not disconnect anymore but it will load a page extremely slow and indefinitely but As soon as I disable bluetooth my wifi works perfect. Please help me figure out if it's a known bug with a fix coming in ota or if my phone is defective. I've only had it a few days and I don't want to root or wait too long before I take it back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Update:
My phone won't even find any access points if bluetooth is on before wifi ...

SOLVED UPDATE
It was the damn MOGA controller. Forewarning for those thinking of purchasing this device. UNPAIR the MOGA when your done with it. Idk what the phones does on the technical side but I do know that THAT fixed my wifi problem. Im guessing it stays looking for the controller, bug maybe? Who should I contact to report that bug lol

For my issue I can confirm that it was before and after the update I'm on the latest stock rooted but the issue was there long before I rooted. I had even taken it back to the store. As soon as I un pair the moga it works perfectly.

I dont have a moga but will test with my headset. migjt explain the buffer issues I have while my headset is connected
Edit - CONFIRMED!
Craziness. 10 mbps slower every single time...turn of BT Device and BaM.. speeds are normal again
bt on the phone itself remained on. all I did was power off/disconnect the headset and speeds went back up. definitely explains why I had issues streaming in starbucks wifi yesterday. everything buffered. turned off my headset so friends could hear the video and it worked flawlessly
ok so someone fix it

really odd. in my case if my bluetooth headset is playing audio my speedtest come in 10mbps slower. if I turn the headset off (pandora still streaming) the speed test immediately runs 10 mbps faster. this only happens on wifi.
turn it back on....speeds immediately drop again

Hmm I hope we don't have defective phones because I took mine in to sprint and neither they or I could replicate the bug while in store. Came home and found out it was the MOGA

Wtf okay so now even when connected to the MOGA controller is slowing down my wifo significantly. How do we focus this? Is it a note 2 big/defect? I've never experienced this with none of my other phones. Palm Pre, EVO, EVO 3D.....

Moga. Is throwing off everything on my phone, it could be blue tooth. But I can not get moga to work and can only get it to pair when I hold down the blinking blue button. Anybody know what the issue is?

Yeah the moga on the sofware front suck ass. I too can only connect while pressing the button although its it or miss. Admittedly I do have a love hate relationship with it. When it works its awesome when I need it to work asap for a brief waiting room wait for the doctor or smthing I spend most of the time fidgeting with it ERRRRR lol have u tried the MOGA IME app? Makes it worth keeping. PowerA should pay that man commission or something for every moga he stops the return of.

I did just download the ime app. Guess will have to see if that improves anything. This may make me root my phone if that is the only way to fix it though. Hopefully the next update does help.

Curious problem with bluetooth (interference?) keyboard and mouse

Hi there guys!
This is my first thread, there seems to have been a thread on every problem I've encountered until now..
I have a motorola bluetooth keyboard
and a samsung bluetooth mouse
The keyboard works amazingly well on its own on my note 2. However when I also connect the mouse it starts to lag and type like thissssss. It's so bad it makes the keyboard unusable as you spend more time correcting what you wrote.
If this was a case of normal interference, I'd call it bad luck and leave it there.. HOWEVER - I tested them both on my macbook pro and they work as intended together. Now this puzzles me greatly as I thought they were interfering with each other's frequency, so shouldn't that be independent of the device I'm using?
Since they can work together, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with any suggestions of what's going on so I can come to some kind of solution/fix?
Thanks, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Any chance the cpu is underclocked (power saving mode in settings)?

Unfortunately it's not
Look for external keyboard helper in app store. Set delay settings to your liking. You will to have that set as your keyboard. Be aware that samsung keyboard tries to turn on depending on what Rom you ate running. I am somewhat disappointed in the bluetooth performance on my note 2. That is about all I am disappointed about.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Thank you so much! It worked like a charm! I actually already had the app installed, it was just set to no delay by default. I'm so glad I don't have to go out and replace my mouse
What exactly was it that disappointed you about the bluetooth performance?

On some of the ROM/kernels floating around I have had TERRIBLE bluetooth performance, voice wouldn't work to dial numbers over a bluetooth connection, but would work during a phone call, couldn't connect to more than one device without restarting the phone.
However Assassin Rom with the kernel that comes stock with it, that fixes all the problems I have had with bluetooth.

Oh man, I had no idea! It's been ok for what I've used it for, up until this problem, but now its fixed I'm pretty happy with it.
I just wished bluetooth used less battery.. or if the phone powered itself by creating energy :fingers-crossed: but thats probably only going to happen in 4.3
Also, try connecting to wifi using 5ghz (if you are on wifi). I have terrible problems when using 2.4ghz wifi and bluetooth together.

This solved my problem.
There's just not enough bandwidth available for 3 simultaneous devices connected to the same device on 2.4GHz band.

[Q] USB Keyboard support

I have tried two different USB keyboards (Cherry evolution stream XT, Cherry G80-3000) but none of them seems to work.
Both keyboards are working when connected to a pc. The OUYA usb port recognizes my mouse. So I guess it has to be a software problem.
Anybody else encoutering similar problems or having an idea to solve this issue?
I didn't find a single thread where a corded USB keyboard didn't work. I have no other keyboard to test .

Even with the keyboard attached? Do you connect the keyboard before booting up?
I've been using the Asus keyboard from my pc with no issues. When connected there is always the option to enable and disable it.

I have had problems in this area as well. For me pulling the power, plugging in the keyboard, and then putting the power back seems to work a lot of the time. Sometimes it is just a matter of doing it a bunch of time until the keyboard is finally recognized. To me, this issue speaks to the build quality and software quality of the Ouya in general. Stuff like this makes the Ouya pain in the a** for the masses.

What about using the power button to initiate a real shut down before attaching the keyboard.
It seems the OUYA is not built using parts from a single manufacturer and that has a lot to do with inconsistent performance.

I tried everything mentioned in this thread at least a few times with the two different keyboards with no effect.
I pulled the cord, plugged both keyboards in and turned it on. Powered it off with the hardware button and pluged the keyboard in. Searched the options for any signs of a keyboard that is connected but just not activated.
I also tried different builts (there was an auto update). None seems to work.
This box is a pain in the a%&. I seem to have a very *****y ouya. XBMC is not working quite well too.
Using a hub

No. I tried using a hub as a fix but it didn't help.
I'm absolutely clueless.
I guess installing a custom rom or a bootloader is no option without a working keyboard. The OUYA seems to be a complete waste of time and money so far. Only crap games, worst "store"/rom ever, loud fan, controller with input lag and XBMC not working properly. Unfortunately people seem to have recognized how bad this thing is, where I live the resell value is free falling.

No and no .
Ouya and keyboard are acting like there is no connection at all. But when I plug in any pc mouse everything is working fine.

I am at a loss as well. I'm not sure how attached you are to your current install on the OUYA but you could try to sideload the latest OTA. I am pretty sure you can do all that without a USB keyboard attached via ADB. You could also fastboot CWM and see if it is recognized then. Just a couple shot in the dark idea but as if a mouse works, the USB port must be working.
I borrowed a logitech keyboard from a friend and it's working like a charm.
The problem seems to be "cherry only".
That sucks. Now I have to buy a new keyboard for this crapcube since my friend needs his keyboard.
Thanks for the advices to everyone.

Strange behaviour you think only your Gnex has

I browse xda alot and stumbled up on many weird issues.
Maybe this thread could be an advise-thread like "don't use your Gnex with a Netgear N Wifi AP"
If there is no interest in this thread, just let it die
This is not a thread related to a specific ROM. More for flashaholic people like me who encounter little issues that occur on many different ROMs.
I will list my issues so you get an idea why I started this thread:
- If I connect my Gnex to the charger and use it, almost every time PIE will break and I cant navigate anymore (AOSP-PIE) - I have to reboot my phone.
- If I connect my Gnex to my schools WiFi (CISCO Hardware) I have constant data-download activity and my battery drains in no time
- Sometimes if I connect my Gnex to the charger it behaves like it gets plugged in and out very frequently
- At home, connected to my WiFi (Netgear Router) I have to constantly wake my Gnex to receive new messages (Whatsapp, Mail, etc.)
Maybe we can help each other with tips?
- cheers
I have none of these issues but one. The last one. I thought I was the only one! It happens randomly to me.. I tried to find a fix but havent come across any. Nice idea for a thread it helped me already

I have not faced any of these issues. Been changing ROMs ever since the day I bought the phone (A year and a half back).
That charging issue alone cropped up once. But I was able to fix it by pushing the pin in the charging port up by a bit using a safety pin
1. My volume down is busted. Pressing it on normal mode, nothing happens. In Safe Mode, it works though I have to press real hard. Due to this, cant do screenshots anymore.
2. I can connect this gnex to my computer fine but the phone does not detect the charge.
3. Much much more wakelocks when using original battery compared to a china branded replacement battery

well, that's interesting! I'm planning a replacement because my phone is two years old and so is the battery.
While using certain kernels with Trickster Mod and "set on boot" option, I get a reboot if the screen is off when Trickster applies it's settings. Took me a long time to figure this out. If the screen is on when Trickster applies kernel settings it works just fine. Never could figure out why this happens, but I use tasker to keep the screen on for 2 minutes after boot to prevent it.
