Hey guys,
So I bought a USB OTG Adapter Cable just so I can pair my PS3 controller to my ZL using the stock Sony ROM. It pairs without problems and I can use it via Bluetooth. But when trying to play games such as Crazy Taxi, it doesn't work. Only the triangle button acts as a back button. The gas or steering don't work. The only game I got working was "Reckless Racing". I don't get it, I know that Crazy Taxi is supposed to work with the PS3 controller, there's a ton of YouTube video's of people showing how well it works.
Is there something else besides pairing the PS3 controller I need to do, like button configuration somewhere?
I'm running the stock Sony ROM on build 244, rooted....if it makes a difference.
Hoping someone has a solution for this...
Thanx
Keeping an eye on this one

Not sure if everyone is aware of this yet? Reported at Droidgamers yesterday. I have a Note now and can confirm that WiiMotes work on a completely stock ICS ROM. I can also confirm that PS3 controllers also work via USB OTG now on the Note (previously they only worked via the Sixaxis app). I see another user has confirmed that midi devices also work with the Note via USB OTG. Details here.
Any S2 owners here able to confirm re: PS3 controller and/or midi devices?
Just tried the Logitech F310, no go (presume same reason as the Xbox 360 wired controller - high drain device without it's own power supply.
Just tried a PS3 pad, all genuine cables etc. Nothing on my phone. Just the prompt saying a USB connector being attached. The pad is looking for my PS3 when I turn it on.

Was the PS3 powered-off when it was connected? Mine was, plug it in and the LEDs on it start flashing (there is no notification in the phone to say it recognises the controller), press the PS3 button then and it was all go - it didn't turn on the PS3 when I did this.

The pads leds dont come on when its all wired up. With my PS3 on standby, hitting PS turns it on and connects to that. With the PS3 unplugged, push PS and all 4 leds flash until it gives up.

Interesting, I guess for whatever reason the S2 isn't working with them yet then. May come in a future update since the Note is working with them.
Keep forgetting Wiimotes dont work on the S II even with apps...about time they fixed that. Not that Im upgrading to ICS anyways

Stop relying on those bull**** official features for things like this. Go get USB/BT Joystick Center and plug in whatever you want.
Wiimote support is nice though

I'm not relying on official anything, been using PS3 controllers etc with mine for ages via Root, but it's still nice to see this stuff appearing officially too.
Is there any special configuracion dor a WiiMote, or i just simply turn my bluetooth on and search it??

Yeah I forgot which forum I was in, and that the Wiimote isn't supported on the S II even with third party software up until now. It's just been pissing me off how much attention game controllers have gotten on Android with ICS, when you can do it and 100 times better with any version

You'll need an app like Wiimote Controller from the Play Store.
yes you can connect a wiimote with that app but i know that this does not work with stock versions of ICS
I have a PS2 controller that i connect trough an adapter to convert the PS2 port to USB, then i connect the USB Male to a Hub that i connect to the Female USB connected to my Galaxy Nexus... a little bit confusing...
Is necesary to connect the controller in this way, because if i connect it directly trough the microUSB to USB adapter it doesn't work, i don't know why.
The problem start when i try to play games, because it looks like the system detects the x axis is stuck! I try it with 2 controllers that i use regularly with the PS2.
I tested the controller with Shadowgun and Riptide, and both games are having problems... with Shadowgun the character is stuck in a circular movement that doesn't allow me to play, and Riptide seems to work fine, but when the character jumps just a little, it falls inmediately because he tries to make a stunt.
The problem doesn't stops there, because i'm not able to play Shadowgun until i reboot, because the character continues his circular movement, despite the fact that the controller isn't connected.
For the moment i don't have any games to try, but i know the controller works well, because i used it several times with a Toshiba Thrive without problems.
I'm using AOKP 37 + 3.0.8 - GlaDOS-v1.34.
Any help or suggestion would be very appreciated!

If you have a ps3 controller with cyanogenmod I know you can pair it using sixaxis controller app. But it costs $ on the market. At $60 retail you may be better off picking one up at a gaming store, eBay or Craig's list
Galaxy Nexus, enough said
I know the PS3 controller works, but since i don't have one, and i do have a PS2 controller with all the cables/adapters/connectors, i think it worths the try. Besides, the PS2 controller worked for me with Honeycomb! The only difference between the Toshiba Thrive and the Galaxy Nexus is the full USB port in the Thrive.
Ok, i tried it with GTA 3 and the character is spinning to the left...
I think maybe it could be the Hub, but i tried it with my PC and there's nothing wrong with it.
I was wondering why i need to plug the controller trough a Hub instead of plugging it directly to the Female USB? If i do it that way the controller is not detected at all!
C'mon, nobody have any clue about this issue?!
I'm going to try if it works using a Stock Rom of Ice Cream Sandwich without a custom kernel.
Again, your help is truly appreciated!

Ok, i was trying to get results with other Roms but i got the same results...
I installed the stock ICS 4.0.4 without Rooting nor Recovery, but i got the same results...
How can't anyone have a clue about this issue?!
I realized that when i try to set a button of the PS2 controller in Shadowgun, no matters what button i try to set, the Joystick Axis 3+ button appears.... and actually thats the one stucked...
Please! Any help?
Hey, well since I didnt see a topic about wired controllers yet, I thought I would share my findings yesterday.
I just got in my USB OTG Adapter so when I got home, I tried my Logitech F310 controller on my Stock T-Mobile rom. Works great! (X-Input mode) I was actually navigating the entire screen with my controller, using Circle button to exit out etc. Was very plug and play! Best part, Emulators worked 100% for the key bindings to it! So wanted to pass this info on to anyone else who was wondering about "Wired" option. Since I know we can do Wii controllers, PS3 ones and so. Cept.. I dont WANT to resync or change batteries out all the time.
Now I had seen this on the market too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy&hl=en
Its about 5$ but not sure why I would use this if built in all works fine?
I did notice tho the USB port gets a lil warm after awhile of using it. (Since its powering yoru USB device it seems)
Now I did try the gamepad in minecraft. Some buttons work for opening menu, or "digging" however cant seem to make the movement work. So I may try to hit up Notch to allow keybinding options.
In my emulators tho, You set the D-Pad up for that, however a bonus.. analog stick works too for movement without setting anything up! Was playing Arcus Odyssey on Sega last night with the anlog stick heh.
Now I wonder.. if I use a mini usb "Y" adapter so I can have it plugged into the power source and my controller at the same time. That should work right? (This way I can keep it in my Dock, charging it while playing with the controller)
Sixaxis is better and cheaper.

But youd have to resync to PS3 or Tablet each time. Which is what I find annoying. Then till I get the 50$ Universal BT Onlive Controller (Which seems sweet and can dedicate it to android use) The wired option is nice. =)
So im curious, since the controller dosent really work smoothly with most side loaded games from the plays store. what is everyone using to play them (ex minecraft)? Are you using a app to smooth out the bumps or have you used a ps3 or wii controller and one of the many apps for that? i havent really found a good way yet what about you all?:fingers-crossed:

I am mostly removing apps which are not working good with controller but would like to know how to get them going.
but there are quite a few application which are working too good with the controller.
Well considering Ouya goes retail at the end of this month they really need to start working on the controller issues. And clean out a lot of those games, half of them don't work and the ones that do really really need work on their controller. Also a really nice feature would be if I could hold down the Ouya button to have the option to turn off the console like Xbox and Ps3, I hate getting up to turn it off.
How does ones get a ps3 controller to work?

you can connect the ps3 via blue tooth and use a ps3 controller app like (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...kaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb21wYXRpYmlsaXR5Y2hlY2tlciJd)
and that should work havn't tried it yet though
You would only need that app if the game doesn't natively support it.
If the developer has done a good job, then the PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers should work just fine.
For example, Bomb Squad natively "just works" with the standard Ouya controller, wireless and wired Xbox 360 controllers, and PS3 as well.
This weekend we played 6 player Bomb Squad (you can have up to EIGHT players on one TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!) with 2 Ouya controllers via BlueTooth, 2 off-brand USB wired Xbox 360 controllers, and 2 official MS wireless Xbox 360 controllers (connected via the Xbox 360 USB wireless adapter).
BTW, the adapter I am using for Xbox 360 wireless controllers is http://www.ebay.com/itm/370777929957?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
was like $11 and works great, also works on my PC.

Nope, you just plug in the ps3 controller via usb and push the reset button on the back and/or the ps3 button. Bluetooth will get messed up and refuse to turn on. Shut down the Ouya by holding down the power button, unplug the controller, start it back up and all your Ouya and PS3 controllers will connect just fine (if it doesn't work right away, go into the menu to pair controllers and just hold down the ps3 button instead of the ouya button and it will connect). I use 2 Ouya controllers and 2 PS3 controllers.
Hello guys,
I can't get my PS3 Gamepad to work fully with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 3G Version. I have an OTG cable and a standart USB cable. The tablet is recognizing the OTG cable, but when I connect the controller and hit the PS button just the digital navigation buttons are working. I can hit X O square and what ever I want, no button is working.
The device is not rooted and it's running on the latest OTA update.
Greetings
Eric
I'm not using a wired controller. You can use a wireless controller with the Sixaxis app on the play store though. That's what working for me right now.

Note 8 might not be supporting game controllers natively fully by itself, It did not work with my 360 wired controller either , however using an app from play store made it work (no root required).
try the USB/BT joystick center app demo from play store and see if that it works for you.
