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
Hi all!
Is there anybody here using USB gamepads with the Note2 ?
I'm having some difficulties: in most games (GTA3 Vice City for example) all of my USB gamepads will work for the D-pad but none of them will register the buttons, so I can move and that's all.
I've tried with a microsoft gamepad, a mini foldable gamepad (Dicota) and an unbranded simple gamepad.
BUT the Sixaxis is the only controler I have perfectly working including with Vice City when plugged to USB.
With emulators, that's the same, except for Fpse that natively recognizes all of my gamepads
I've tried apps to change the buttons values, but in vain, only the Sixaxis fully works in USB
So my question is: what USB gamepad do you have successfully and completly working with the Note 2, or is there something to to to get them fully working?
I want to play Vice city using my foldable gamepad (way smaller than any BT gamepad and just plug and play)
Hey dudes,
I have a wired 360 controller and tried plugging it into my note 8.All I get is a blinking green circle on the controller and nothing on the note. Anyone know how to get it working? I'm using an OTG micro to usb cable.

I thought that although the PS3 controler is plug and play with andoid, the 360 controller is not, or at least not very easily set up.
I use my PS3 controller both as a plug and play controller and as a bluetooth controller (when I can be bothered to set it up, loading the address into it can be a bit of a pain since I use it with my PS3 as well).
Has anyone been able to get a wired Xbox 360 controller working with the Note 2 (using USB/BT Joystick Center)?
I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.2 and using USB/BT Joystick Center to map the controller buttons.
USB/BT Joystick Center does recognize my controller (I'm using an OTG cable to connect it to my phone) and I'm able to map the buttons on the controller but the app restarts itself and drops the connection to the controller every few minutes when the controller is plugged in.
I know the cable is connected securely because when I wiggle the OTG cable Joystick Center does not see the controller as disconnected.
I would email the dev of the app but based on his responses in the app reviews he probably wouldn't be of any help.
Also, I have installed different ROMS (Slimkat) to see if it may have been a bug with Cyanogenmod but I had the same problem with USB/BT Joystick Center restarting every few minutes when the controller was plugged in.
So I bought myself today an otg cable to use it for some video game playing on my LG G3. I use a dongle to connect my (very) old PS1 controller to my phone. But when I want to play sth like Asphalt 8 or Modern Combat 5 nearly all my buttons (except the D-pad and analogs) are treated as one and the same button. I thought it was the fault of the dongle or controller so I connected another controller and got the same problem. The controllers work fine on my pc but the default mapping is somehow crazy (even in my launcher all buttons are like the same). Keyboard and mouse work fine. And my android version is 5.0 v20f. Can someone please help me.
Thank you.
