If the 360 turned on then yes you are doing something wrong. Also I don't believe it's plug and play solo, you need something on the pad to make it work. If you look on the store you will find a few of them, I used to use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en for awhile but there are many out there for both ps3 and 360 controllers. Ps3 just happens to be easier then needing the wireless addon.

It should just work as this was added as part of stock rom since honeycomb

Gametel wireless controller for Xperia arc

http://gametelcontroller.com/
The Gametel wireless controller is set to launch in time for Christmas for the low price of £49.95.
Read more from:
http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Android/Gametel+wireless+game+controller/news.asp?c=35266
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

Xbox controller?

I've been reading that the new Transformer Prime supports Xbox controllers. I'm rooted with Overcome 2.something and want to know if I have this ability already. I also read that people have been using a USB dongle that Microsoft sells but I'd like something that is already built in to work. I also have a PS3 controller if that'll work, although I prefer the Xbox controller.
HDMI out and an Xbox controller = big screen NES!!!
since the xbox wireless controller uses a custom wireless protocoll, you can't use it without the dongle. You can use a wired xbox controller though.
I also prefer the xbox controller, but the PS3 controller is better suited for this. Since the PS3 controller uses bluetooth, you can buy a app on the market called "Sixaxis Controller", which allows you to use a PS3 controller over bluetooth with the tab. It's really awesome
EDIT: I also fine the PS3 controller better suited for emulation, because the dpad is in a better position for this.
is there anyway to do this without root? i read somewhere in 3.2 reenabled controller support for 10.1 i have a stock tablet and don't want to root unless i really really need to.
So, just to check, will the Xbox wireless receiver USB dongle work with the tab?

Wondering the same thing. I tried to connect the dongle to my Tab but my controller wouldn't connect to it (just flashed the green light, searching but no connection it seemed).
Is there a way to make the Xbox360 controller work if you connect the dongle to the Tab (or without it for all I care, just want it to work )
I just bought the 30 pin to USB and so far haven't been able to get a wired 360 controller to work but I am running stock so that might be the problem... If I were to root and get like 3.2 or something would this work?

You would need pershoot's kernel with the appropriate modules.

I feel like an idiot, asked this same questions (what do which modules do?) 3 or 4 times now, never got an answer... :S

I just did this, although I haven't tried it yet. Not sure what they show up as when connected though? Going to test it right now
Edit: Blah, the only wired 360 controller I have is a third party one, it showed up but I'm not sure how to use it. I tried the "USB/BT joystick center" app and it wanted me to make a driver by selecting bits of input data directly .
Re: Big NES if XBOX controller works.
Pick up a WII controller - cheaper and closer to the old school NES experience )

[Q] XBOX 360 controller - worked with Note 1, S4, etc - NOT working for Note 8.0?

As the subject states, I was able to connect my WIRED XBOX 360 controller to my Note 1, Nexus 7 and Galaxy S4 Active using a USB OTG cable and play ANY games that support controller. NO mapping required - Dead Trigger, GTA, etc.
As a matter of fact, when I connect my XBOX 360 Controller, the analog stick work in the home screen and application folder.
However, with the Note 8.0.. nada. I know it's not the USB OTG cable because I can connect a memory stick to it and the Note 8.0 recognizes it.
Is there something in the Note 8.0 that prevent game controller to function?

it works with some third party apps (joy/bt center( enabling ime support but does not seem to work on it's own. seems like they disabled hid/game controller supoort or does not come factory activated game controller drivers.
the light on the controller starts blinking after a while, so something is there, but not enough to be any use.

Crap, that's not good. I didn't know that Samsung removed this specifically for the Note 8.0. Doesn't make sense at all, given that it works with pretty much all the Samsung device I own (S4, Note).
I like using the built-in support from the game (Dead Trigger) without installing 3rd party apps.
Oh well, I guess it is what it is. I may just replace my Note with the Nexus 7 then since I play games a lot.
Use ps3 controller. However there are many ways to connect xbox controller. Search in YouTube

TBH, some games might just still work out of the box,
I don't have any of those such games to try to check. (i'm more of a retro gamer)
Thing is if the USB BT/ Joy can use it then so should likely any natively supporting games that support Xbox 360 controller on android.
however for me it does not work on it's own in some of the emulators like drastic DS etc.

Xbox 360 controller not working

I have a wired xbox 360 controller that I use on my pc. I have an OTG usb cable too. The cable works because it can read usb memories.
When I connect the controller its lights keep flashing.
I try to play dead trigger 2 and I cant. If I connect another controller logitech it works.
Anyone knows how can I play with the xbox controller?

I don't think you can without some sort of drivers. Most people use the ps3 controllers via Bluetooth.
I've read that they work on nexus 7 without drivers. They only connect the controller and can use them.
If I need drivers... Where are they? Xd

I've seen inside folder /system/urs/keylayout that the mapping file for the xbox 360 controller its there: Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl
But it doesn't recognize the controller.
Anyone?:s

Stock lacks xpad.ko required to recognise the 360 controller. Well, wired at least.

I've read others posts and I've seen that it's needed that someone complies xpad.ko
Anyone can compile or explain how to do it?
This module can be included in a custom kernel. Ask Yank555 if he can help you out with some input since he had included this support in his Galaxy S3 kernels

That's kinda a workaround but it's a pain to configure for every game.
I confirm that the xbox 360 controller works perfectly out of the box on an unrooted nexus 7, setting its light to player 1. Yet as OP pointed out with the nexus 5 all players lights in the controller keep blinking.
I used logcat on m nexus 5 (I can't on the tablet because it's not mine) and I can see that when plugged, the nexus 5 fails to recognize the controller.
Someone found a solution for a similar problem on an LG G2, but the app used does not seem to work with the nexus 5 for the moment. I can't post the link because I'm a new user but if you google "Wired xbox controller not working with LG G2" it should pop in the first result, it's a stack exchange question.
No solution yet?
i can see on youtube xbox pads are recognized on N7 but not N5.
I tried with a CABLED Saitek P2600 and a Generic GameStop pad, both workin ok.
But both wireless and wired xbox 360 pads are not even detected. What's wrong with N5 and gamepads?!?!
Franco now has Xbox 360 controller drivers

Too bad the wired one still doesn't work. Running 4.4.2 and it will not do anything except blink all the lights.

I don't know what you are using, but a stock Nexus 5 as of 4/20/14 does NOT support the Xbox 360 wired controller out of the box. If you need me to make a video proving it, I can. The same cable and controller works just fine on my Tegra Note 7.
For anyone running CM11.....maybe vote this up? https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4469

Bluetooth Dualshock 3 PS3 controller?

Anyone try and connect a DS3 to the G3? Just checking before I go through the hassle of the setup itself, it was a massive pain in the butt on my M7 and I want to play emulators on the go and be able to actually play mobile games comfortably on this beautiful screen.
Bump.

We're asking if it works and connects properly...not every phone is compatible with it. HTC devices are a huge pain in the ass for instance.
Yes it does work with it on Bluetooth if you are rooted. here is the link for the GameKlip™ - Universal CaseMount http://buy.thegameklip.com/products/gameklip-casemount. As long as you have a case to mount too it.
Guys i have a G3 and i tried to hook a ps3 controller to it but either the phone or the controller wont read eachother cause it never lights up with an OTG cable ive tried 2 different controllers and still the same result and yes my G3 is rooted cause i knew i may need root but it never reads the controller please help
