I've recently purchased the excellent SmartGear and what with the Touch Pro 2's TV out would like to have myself a little retro action by playing on MegaDrive classics on my TV.
However, this would mean holding the phone, and cable, while playing, which isn't as much fun.
Does anyone know if any bluetooth games controllers work? I've looked and PS3 and Wii controllers don't seem to, but can anyone recommend one at all, or know if the ENR one works http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/bt-gamepad-en.shtml
I know that the Broadcomm stack is acausing problems but hope it's not going to ruin this plan.
Thanks
What's a great gamepad for the One X? Would prefer non-wiimote and non-sixaxis recommendations. Something that would work OOTB is preferable.

Does it work without a driver? I thought 4.0 brought native gamepad support?

ICS brought plug and play for usb controllers for bluetooth ones you still need some sort of software/driver to map the keys.
Icontrolpad is better as it is the same price but offers analog controls as well and you can charge your phone with it.
Interesting... Any reviews between the icontrolpad and gametel?

i think out of the choices the sixaxis is on top its easy to setup and most people have a ps3 these days. if you do come across something good though post it up as i love playing games on my HOX, shadowgun is awesome so if there is a better control system than sixaxis would love to know about it.
Phonejoy is a good way to go, some apps are native support for it, for everything else there is an app called BluezIME.
Anybody done any testing on these? Or any pics of them connected??? They all look a bit cheap, Id guess if they really work a better quality Song one may come out soon Hmmm>?

Another vote for PhoneJoy. The buttons and sticks have a bit more resistance than a real PS3 controller, but the feel is pretty good, imo. I got their MHL adapter too, which is made much better than the one I purchased from Amazon, and integrates the HDMI cable into one unit.
BluezIME emulates keyboard and gamepad buttons so it works great with any game that those controls built-in. Unlike it the Sixaxis app, it doesn't need root. Analog support requires native support in the app, the only game I have that has it currently is N64oid, GoldenEye aiming is much improved with that enabled.
With an application called Game Enabler (this requires root), the PhoneJoy emulates a HID game controller. This means Shadowgun will support the analog sticks natively (essentially it will look like a Xbox 360 controller plugged in a USB port, like on a Transformer Prime; which is what the game was developed with). Since you cannot have MHL and USB OTG simultaneously on the One X, this will be the only way to get full analog control with HDTV connectivity.
My phone is not rooted so I have not been able to test Game Enabler. But even with the analog sticks mapped to key presses, control in shooters like Shadowgun is much improved, just takes a bit to get used to at first.
Has anyone tried the onlive wireless controller? http://www.onlive.co.uk/controller Gonna check it out tomorrow myself when I get it back from my friend. Would love to play games on my tv
Wiimotes work stock with the One X too, have used my Datel Retro Wireless with it (also my Phonejoy's work fine). iControlPad is well expensive compared to these two options.

Is there any new pads out to try ?
For those of us who prefer gaming with controllers apposed to the touch screen experience I was wondering which controller do you use? I am most interested in the build quality of the controllers, along with the controller holding the phone. I would like to hear about any controller you use, you never know if a controller that does not have both of those features would entice me enough to buy it?
The controller that got my interest was the GameKlip, the one that uses the PS3 controller with your phone. Is that available on the HTC One?
Helo guys,
Do you know why, or do one of you ever had problems with pair your n7 2013 tablet with a portable speaker via bluetooth?
I just bought one, and i seem to don't have any trouble pairing it with smartphones, other tablets, but when I try to search the portable speaker it just shows that there are no bluetooth devices nearby.
I'm losing my mind reading all this related questions in this forum because I can't find a clear answer to this. I can see that there are many issues pairing it with PS4/PS3 controllers and headphones, could it be the same sort of a problem? Could you help me guys?
Thank you!!
Does anyone know if the Cube 2 supports plugging in headphones on the Game Controller? On the 1st Gen Cube, it gives a message that it is not supported on this device.
Also, does anyone know a way around this? One of the reasons I even got the game remotes was hoping could watch TV or play games silently at night without disturbing anyone. TIA
