The Gametel wireless controller is set to launch in time for Christmas for the low price of £49.95.

I've just been reading about this myself, see http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/17/ga...android-phone-into-an-xperia-play-but-better/
It's not clear at this point if this will basically behave like an Xperia Play controller or not. They mention it will work in Asphalt 5 HD, but no mention of other Play-enabled games like NOVA 2 or Aftermath XHD.
Definitely worth watching this though, if the reviews are positive and it works with all the Play-enabled games (maybe with some hacking?) it will be on my Xmas list.
A bit of a double post... but has anyone tried this?
I have tried connecting my PS3 Controller via the LiveDock but it can only work when connecting to USB Cable and not via bluetooth like the way it work with my Sony Tablet.
Guess it need the software interface which pair the controller to the device via bluetooth.
So which are the controllers able to work with our phone which has been tested?
hi mate
If you go into Bluetooth menu it gives u the Bluetooth address
U can then plug your ps3 control in to laptop and use six axis pair tool(which is free to download onto ur computer ,just google it) and you can manually change the address control address to that of the phone
Not sure if it will work without six axis app on your phone or not but is worth a try
Hope that helps

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.

did u need to install the ps3 controller app or was it completely plug and play... i don't have one here or i'd be testing it right now
edit: and by USB i assume u mean u plugged into your dock... i don't have one of those so i guess i'm SOL till i get root eh? or a dock? lol

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.

I've been trying to get the IR remote on Xperia ZL to get to work with the Sony Internet TV player nsz-gs7, but so far nothing! ZL works with my TV, but is unable to find the controls for NSZ, or learn from the NSZ remote, has anyone faced a similar situation?
Are there any other nsz-gs7 owners who have a Xperia ZL, i'd like to learn more on how you're using ZL with it.
There's an app "Media Remote" by Sony that works just like the remote for the Sony Google tv
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app
The NSZ-GS7 takes commands via Bluetooth only.
You haven't run across any rooting info for it?

Anybody know how to configure the Videocon d2h HD settop box remote control on Xperia ZL Remote Control App.. I tried all the manual setup procedure and was able to configure buttons using d2h remote control, but on settop box it is not working. I was able configured Samsung tv remote and zl remote control with samsung lcd tv working absolutely fine without any issues. But why it is not working with the d2h settop box. Is there any difference between tv receiving signals and settop box receiving signal.
Please help if anyone has idea about this.
Thanks
Did you use the Samsung control preset that came with the app?
or you set it by manual learning
and on what version are you on?
the remote app was broken before 4.2 .67 firmware
that was the version where it worked fine for me
4.3 is fine too
all other earlier version has the problem when you use the learning function(it learns it but when you press it it doesn't work)
Same problem here,
Currently on stock 4.3 version, even tested with 4.2.2(previous version)
I m not able to configure my FastWay Hd Set Up Box remote by manual method..
It didnt work on STB...
Only default configured codes are working Like SonY Led Remote and Samsung
For those all who have manual learning problems. Its a hardaware defect. You can get your device replaced by sony

Yes, sony told me the same. But it worked on 4.1, and I read a comment where someone wrote that bug got fixed in 4.3.
I still have hope...

go in manual mode select cable tv set top box and configure it with ur remote .Dont select satellite set top box
Folks do anyone of you have an APK for this Remote Control App? I want to try this on my Nexus.
I had the same problem when I bought my ZL
problem was fixed on 4.3 update
or you could try flashing AOSP ROM
and use the AOSP remote control to test it(the app is in app & theme section)
Hi everyone,
I've searched all over but can't find the answer. I've used the sixaxis app on many devices before. It doesn't seem to work on the tab s, and I believe it is because newer Samsung devices are missing a certain Bluetooth protocol.
My goal is to connect two PS3 controllers to the Tab S to play emulated games (nes, snes n64,etc.)
Does anyone have any information on how to get it working? Thanks!

I tried all the tricks I know, to no avail, it's really hard to make it work, unless you're willing to do it 'oldschool' style, wired via OTG.
we managed to do this in samsung tab 3 before, 2 PS3 controllers for 2 player fighting games, dunno, seems like we have bluetooth compatibility issues as the PS3 bluetooth is already outdated.
let's here other chime in
what ? sixaxis controller works perfectly on my tab s 10.5 :v no issue . even with wire
Works on my 8.4 too.. have you tried the compatibility checker first ? It only worked after I used it once

you dont need to install that app , just set the host IP for the controller and play . that's all
Well, like I said, didn't work until I tried that. Can't tell why though, never had too before. But I tried it since I remember a while ago, sense and touchwizz used to be not compatible with sixaxis app

ok, wait...so are both of u guys saying that u have a PS3 controller working through BLUETOOTH with the tab S?! If so then could one of u please provide a screenshot as proof and describe your connection method...did u use the pc program or bond with an otg cable through the sixaxis app then pair and what version of the sixis app are u using? Also..are u using original oem sony controllers or ebay branded ones? :confused

@better33
to answer all of the basic questions...yes i'm rooted & yes i've used the app before successfully most recently on the tab pro 8.4 . i really need the above questions i posed to the poster above answered...also as @sku|| suggested i doubt if the compatibility checker helps but yes i've tried that too. Thx for the screenshot though...are u using original sony controllers and more importantly what version of the sixaxis app are u using?
Like I said, it wasn't working the first time, so I downloaded the compatibility checker since I remember there used to be issues with touchwizz, and it said it was compatible. I'm using the official ps3 controller. Are you root ?
Forgot to say, I connected the controller on my computer to change the master address and then connected it through Bluetooth

Hmm interesting. What rom version are you using? It could be regional issue?

Im using 2 official controllers here, one that came with the ps3 that I used on my tab 7.7 with no issues (bluetooth) . And another aftermarker pink controller that I also used with no issues with tab 7.7. Only thing devious and I have in common might be our custom rom which he compiled
I tried connecting it through PC and change the mac address via sixaxis changer. Installed the compatibility checker and eas advised that it's compatible. Bought the sixaxis app. And.. boom. Stuck at 'listening to controllers'. I'll give it a shot once again

I'm having the same issue in my rooted Tab s 10.5. I changed the master to my tablet, then the tablet never sees the controller. Any luck?
Uhhh. Dunno what I did but.. it worked.
Heres what I remembered.
Uninstalled sixaxis.
Downloaded compatibility checker and run
-hooked up my controller via otg and manually typed my bluetooth MAC
Installed Sixaxis
-tried pairing via OTG. Disconnect cable and tried pairing via BT: unsuccessful
*frustrated*
Killed app compatibility checker
Killed app sixaxis
Reopened sixaxis
Clicked change IME - list of keyboard appeared. Tapped sixaxis
Clicked start. It connected.
Mine is :
1. Have a DS3 controller
2. Have a cable and OTG
3. Connect DS3 via OTG
4. Open sixaxis controller app ( v0.7.4)
5. Tap PAIR
6. Disconnect the controller
7. Change IME
8. Tap Start and connect with DS3
9. Done

Actually I remember doing that too (changing the IME BEFORE looking for devices), maybe that's why it worked for me. I'm on the last stock French rom, can't tell you more I'm at work without the tab.

I got it working on Tab S by changing IME to sixaxis > then go to "set up input methods" > made sure sixaxis is checked > into its general settings , checked auto start > then into game setting checking "enable gamepad. Presto!!
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the feedback! I am trying very hard to replicate the steps, but I still can't get past the "Listening for controllers" status.
Can anyone please delete all of the six axis settings, and post detailed step by steps from scratch?
Also, I noticed my bluetooth button isn't lit up (indicating that it is on) when I start Sixaxis. And when I try to turn it on, it doesn't.
Thanks for your help!!

Wait, you guys are right.... it is totally random, but I got it working! This time, I did retype the bluetooth address manually and clicked pair (even though it looked the same). Then, it still didn't work. Then I tried it with my regular swiftkey input, and it connected! Then I switched it to six axis.
This was the reason I bought the tablet, so THANK YOU guys for the help (even though we are still kind of puzzled )
I got another simpler method that works, so far so good,
-Force close all sixaxis apps (compatibility checker and sixaxis)
-at the back of the controller, there's a reset button, insert anything small enough and reset it
-connect the controller to your device via OTG
-run sixaxis controller app
-tap pair, then tap pair (the one on pop up)[ensure the bluetooth address is correct]
-disconnect OTG
-turn the controller on
-tap Start.
and there you have it.
edit:
and it will not work again as soon as you paired your device to your Samsung Gear LOL..
what you need to do, after using your Samsung Gear, disconnect it, reboot your device and follow the instructions above, it will sync once again

I got it working perfectly yesterday, but couldn't get it today. I tried your steps over and over again, but no luck!
Any way you can post a video? I will be very thankful to the person who can get this working for me! It is frustrating that it worked yesterday flawlessly with two controllers, but only after hours of messing with it (and it isn't working today!)

I was about to edit my post for the nth time LOl. Sad to say. I does not work again. I was simply lucky that I managed to do it 3 times in a row. Now. It simply doesnt pair. Could be something messing with the bluetooth becuase once you get it to pair initially. Even if you reboot, it would still pair. But once you connect your device to another bluetooth device such as headset/gear. BT will forget the sixaxis profile and you'll have trouble syncing it again. I'm close to giving up. I'm simply using it with USB OTG just to satisfy my game-cravings. Hope the others who got it working chime in once again if they manage to pair it all the time.
