[Q] iPega Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Controller Help needed - General Accessories

Hello,
I am struggling to get the iPega Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 controller working on my emulators. I can pair the device through the Nibiru software which comes with it and it will play the games which you can get via google store. However if i try to pair the device via bluetooth without the nibiru software running it sees it but once you click on the device all i get is to enter a pin code, then it goes to incorrect password or pin and then the pairing fails. I have tried this on my galalxy note one and my girlfriends Galaxy Ace 2. There is no where to enter a pin on the phone and obviously not on the joystick side. What am I doing wrong been at it for 3 days now, going mad. Will someone talk me through the procedure step by step, any help appreciated.

I can also only use the ipega with nibiru. Very frustrating to when seeing all the YouTube videos explaining how well it works without it....
I have found this thread that might help. I will let you know of it works for me

Bluetooth controller

Does anyone know of any good bt controllers that I could use on my one x for games etc?

I don't have my phone yet (coming later today) I wonder if sixaxis works.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
anyone try it yet?
wont work on sense roms well tbh don't really know about s4.0 but on previos sense based roms sixaxis does not obtain the required permissions for bluetooth. should work on a ice non sense rom running on a one x.
Phonejoy's should work, they worked with other recent HTCs that I'd tried. I get my One X next week and have Phonejoy's, WiiMotes, Datel Retro Wireless, Logitech F310 and PS3 controllers at home. Will let you know which work!

I have a rooted and de-odexed rom running ICS. Have attempted to overwrite the bluetooth .apk as per: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560647&page=2
Sixaxis won't ID my bluetooth, or pair after changing the master.
After pressing the start button, the sixaxis compatibility fails to connect.
Are there any ways to get sixaxis to work without removing sense completely? Can anyone confirm it working on a rooted vivid/raider??
Not sure exactly what your doing but i found the instructions for pairing misleading.
After changing the master ID you need to unplug the usb cable in order to pair it, instructions doesnt tell you to unplug it until after it's paired. if you try and pair it with the usb pluged in it says failed and tells you to plug it in when in fact you actually have to unplug it.
I have a sense rom and it works fine with it.
I never had to do anything with overwriting the bluetooth apk.
Shouldn't need to adjust anything what so ever, if you have a ps3 pad you can use sixaxis and it works like a charm, you can also set buttons on the ps3 pad to emulate as hardware keys on your phone, as well as emulated touchscreen controls,
You could add the left analog stick and a certian area of the screen, and it'll only go within the radius of that area.
I can confirm that Sixxaxis works like a charm on the HTC One x, I use it for FPSE (psx emulator) Cs 1.6, Shadowgun, Minecraft, GTA III, and BFBC2 ! If you like i can setup a video on how i done everything
You will need to root it and have SU !

I've got the stock at&t ics rom(rooted/su) and sixaxis compatibility doesn't seem to connect.
The compatibility checker says click start to show local bluetooth, however, when I start the utility no local address is displayed. Went into setting and checked the address manually.
I downloaded the pairing utility and ran it on my laptop to change the master id.
When I try to pair the controller it says connect via usb. I did try pairing it without it connected.
Without being able to pair it, the checker indicates an error: failed to configure bluetooth. Not a huge surprise. Am I missing some steps? I've tried this many different ways. Thanks for the earlier responses.

AT&T? Is your CPU S4 then? Maybe the Qualcomm uses a different Bluetooth stack because my Tegra3 works perfectly with sixaxis controller app.
If compatability checker doesn't succeed then it probably won't work for you.
Also it must be a genuine controller. Fakes don't seem to work.
After changing master on laptop to the MAC on the app and unplugging the lead you should power on the controller so it is flashing then just press START. That activates the driver and it should show text ending with "client connected:1"
The PAIR CONTROLLER button is for tablets which have USB host functions and can then pair directly without the laptop step.

If there is no address for your local bluetooth on your phone, have you tried checking what the ps3 bluetooth address is and trying to manually search for that address using sixaxis?
It'll usually tell you the address of the ps3 if you had it paired to it last, then just use that address for the manual pair on sixaxis basically

Root and Bluetooth?

I am hoping someone can answer this for me. Will the recently released root capabilities allow me to connect a Bluetooth keyboards that requires a password? This is something that the Fire TV couldn't do previously.

Bluetooth Keyboard with built in touchpad
I am also very interested in this....
Is it possible to get the bluetooth settings to work with my motorolla keyboard and touchpad combo (Motorolla KZ500)? I get it to pull up the settings to see the keyboard and prompt to type in numbers but it doesnt receive anything I input at this step.
I will keep trying and let OP know if I find anything, but I am not a real android dev by any stretch.
I got my Logitech PlayStation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Pro to link with a generic usb dongle. It is great because it has a mouse pad built in
Got it to Connect - But not functional
I succeeded at getting the Motorolla KZ500 keyboard & touchpad combo to connect to the Fire TV through the use of the android settings.apk and typing in the numerical prompt. - I am on the latest firmware and am rooted now, if that matters.
However, despite showing up as an input device, no keypresses or mousepad movements are registering with the device. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
When I use a USB keyboard and mouse, it has no problem registering all of that.

[Q] Sixaxis with Tab S

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

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

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

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 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.

DS3 Sixaxis crash reboot

Hi ,
I'm on a rooted ZenFone 2 trying to connect a Dualshock 3 to play games.
So far with sixaxis controller apk and after some tweaking I've been able to play games that accept controllers.
On the other hand when using sixaxis controller's touch profiles or tincore keymapper they both crash and reboot the whole system if I press two buttons at once .
Please show me how to log this in order that you have a better idea or try to recreate this.
I've done this over OTG ( no sixaxis controller APK running ) with similar results.
If someone has something else rather than a DS3 and got something like this working let me know.
I have the exact same problem and i cant find a fix
Made a logcat a few days ago and found this line when searching for fatal.
[ 08-27 00:19:26.172 642: 753 F/libc ]

More information on phone:
WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.19.40.22 rooted using 1 click method found in forums. Won't unlock bootloader to go AOSP if im not 99% sure this is fixed.
Can't post links because I haven't reached the minimum posts required. There is already someone with the same issue as me and a bit more information. I am fearing this issue is related to how Sixaxis Controller, Intel and the kernel don't really like to play along with each other.
How to recreate:
1. Use sixaxis controller to connect DS3 to phone. The inputs have to be reprogrammed in gamepad settings for games that have native control support. Not seamless but good enough.
2. Create a touch profile for a game that doesn't have support. There are various Youtube videos showing how it's done. Set the active profile and load the game.
3. Everything seems to work.... Unless you press two buttons at once. It goes back to the ASUS screen.
I just need to know if someone is interested in recreating this with a DS3 controller or at least try with another controller and do keymaps for non controller compatible games or apps and see if it restarts. If it works and doesn't crash with another controller please let me know. XBOX, MOGA, DS4 it doesn't matter.
Exact same problem here. Awaiting fix. Gonna try tweaking app settings see if it works.
bump
I have the same problem too ...
This happen when it connects wireless and when you press any button it will restart but if you connect it via OTG it won't crash nor restart your phone.
All I did was format my phone, install Six Axis Controller APK connect via wireless and I didn't crash since then.
How to FIX
Sory for my English.
You need change settings. Settings -> Devices: Touchscreen -> Touch output device -> "ftxxxx_ts" (or another, but not "tincore_mt").

Dualshock 3/Sixaxis on rooted Sloane?

I am on the latest version of FIre OS (5.2.7.2_r1) and am using a first party PS3 controller, the version with Dualshock and Sixaxis combined
I know this question has been asked and ansered before, but the methods I have tried to use have not worked for me, sadly.
I have tried Using Sixaxis Controller from DancingPixelStudios. I enable and set the IME from a terminal (cannot get a Settings.apk to install) I have set the Bluetooth Master Address both from the USB pairing method built into the app, and with Sixpair on a linux machine (a raspberry pi running the latest version of Raspbian) Stort the server and try to connect, nothing.
I tried the app Sixaxis Enable, which is supposed to connect the DS3 via USB, and I get a message saying that it's not supported.
I found an app called USB/BT Joystick Center. After setting the IME for it and connect my controller via USB, and when I click Search in the app, it finds the Unifying receiver, the powered USB hub I am using (I think) and the PS3 controller. It says that I click on it and it says that it loads a built in keymap or something along those lines, but the controller doesn't work...Maybe I just don't really know how to use the app properly, but so far the help option hasn't actually been much help. It says that if I want to use my PS3 controller over bluetooth, that I will need to connect an external USB Bluetooth Dongle with a CSR chipset (which I don't have)
Something interesting I have noticed, is that I have been getting a pop up request to enter the pin for my controller. I have tried 0000 and 1234, to no avail., Using an app called Bluetooth Settings, I currently have my device set to be fully discoverable and pairable.. What I can take away from this is that my box IS seeing the PS3 controller over bluetooth.
It kinda seems to me like all the methods available to do connect a PS3 controller to the FIre TV are all dead, or I'm doing something wrong, which is more than possible.
So I guess my question is, is there a way nowadays to use my official PS3 controller on my FIre TV? I have no real preferece if it is over USB or Bluetooth. (Unless I have company over Iam usually no further than 5 feet away from the box when I use it) and how do I acheive it if it can still be done?
THank you for the patience!

Funny enough, I actually just recently found your reddit posts about this while looking for something else. Sadly it did not work for me that I know of.
After running your command via adb, my terminal gave me:
"Result: parcell(00000000 00000001 '........')"
Then I went to the Bluetooth menu, pressed the PS button on my PS3 controller, and tried to discover it as both a game controller, and under Other Bluetooth Devices.
Maybe im not doing something right, or maybe because I have the bluetooth master address in the controller set to the Fire's bluetooth MAC address, the fire thinks it is paired when it is not.
Further help would be appreciated if you know what im doing wrong with that method.
The good news though is that I HAVE discovered (or at least there are no nentions about it that I have seen) a method to use an official ps3 controller over USB, and will post a tutorial sometime in the next 24 hours.
Do you have busybox installed? Try it via the terminal emulator app on the device itself.
Also it sounds like you need to pair it again... In the settings forget the device. Then
