Hi guys, im new at xda, actually im new at android. Got an Nexus 7 wifi, and i just bought sixaxis controller and a dualshock 3 sony controller.
Im having a lot of hard time configuring sixaxis. Gona describe it (sorry for my bad english)
Controller Model: CECHZC2UAa1
Device: Nexus 7, wifi, 4.2.1 Rooted stock jb
ok, my controller has already my N7 bluetooth address, checked and double checked with the pairing tool. i open the app, then press start, it says listening for controllers, plugged the controller with my otg adapter, pressed "Pair Controller", then it says master address updated (sometimes i try this and it wont detect my controller, and im not sure if i have to do this everytime i wanna use it on the same device) then i unplug and press PS home buttom, all the 4 red lights blinks fast on the controller, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes less, but nothing. Heres come the real odd things, if i plug the controller again, and i do the pair controller step again, and after it says master address updated, i unplug the controler and then REAL QUICK press the PS HOME, thats when sixaxis controller actually finds something (worked 2 times, could use the controller and all) but right now it just says "Maximum number of clients already connected)
and no, there are no more ps3 controller or anything around. Once, a few tries before this, idk what i did diferent, but i got it working but, my controller turned the 4th red light, not the first one..?
anyway, if i try to pair the controller without doing the "pair controller" step on the app, it doesnt do anything, but it shows "listening for controllers", nothing else.
In resume:
1-Cannot pair anymore (could do it 2 times, and tested all fine, even mapped touch profile alright)
2-Sixaxis Controller seems to think there are 4 controllers connected already, "Maximum number of clients already connected"
3-Some times Sixaxis Controller detects my controller pluging it on USB, sometimes it doesnt.
4-It wont detect my controller bluetooth when it says "listening to controllers" unless i press "pair controller", plug my controller, wait to get Master address update message, unplugging, and then pressing PS home, wich will take me to item number 2.
Im not sure what to do here, Any idea? (already tried to contact dancing pixel from their webpage, but still no answer)
Have you tried clearing your Sixaxis settings and repairing again from scratch?
You're doing it wrong.
Clear the apps' data (I'd go ahead and uninstall and reinstall.) and re-pair the control to your ps3. Just for the sake for starting over. Then open the six axis app. Make sure you get a pop up asking for root permissions, grant it. Then hit start and once it hits listening for controllers. Stop it. Then hook up the control via USB otg. Hit pair control, allow it to control the USB item... Let it update the address. Then once that's done unplug everything. Then hit start once its on listening for controllers... Hit the PS button. It should then pair.

Are you downloading the sixaxis PC app and entering in your N7s MAC address to the controller?
I would also just clear cache on the sixaxis app or just do an uninstall/reinstall.
Once mine does the initial pairing, getting consecutive pairs are easy breezy.

Hi, im sorry for late response, and thx for your replies.
Ok, still have same problems. i will describe it now with screenshots
This shows my control has the right address

Sixaxis Controller:
so, when it says listening for controllers, it blinks all the four lights, but i get no message or anything on the sixaxis controller app
btw, i cannot "pair" my controller with the Pair controller option inside Sixaxis Controller app, it wont recognize my control. Already checked my otg with another gamepad and it worked, so the otg is working, and tried 2 diferent usb cables, still no success. (actually i could pair it a few times using the same cables trying a lot long time ago, but then it just stopped working).
Update:
Did a wipe of anything related to Sixaxis from my tablet using root Explorer, reinstalled Sixaxis Controller. Now, i can pair using the Pair Controller tool within the app, i get "master address updated" all fine, but then, still cant get it to connect with my controller, but now sometimes i get "Maximum Number of clients already connected".
You'd probably get better feedback from the actual developer.

EDIT: Sorry, saw you had already posted there.
Also, is your controller an original Sony Sixaxis, or did you buy a cheap third party controller? Those typically don't work with Sixaxis App.

Thx for your reply, yes, i even mailed the developer but with no response yet. Yes, its an original dualshock 3 controller Model: CECHZC2UAa1, and like i said in my first post, i actullay were able to use it a couple times before, but not easy at all, just after a lot of trying and pairing over and over again.
this is frustrating. Hope developer gets a new update out soon.

It works just fine for my control my model is CECHZC2U FWIW. Id say there is something wrong with your control. Have you tried restoring the tablet and rerooting?

It might work.. i would also suggest maybe trying another kernel? Maybe Franco Kernel? Maybe even a custom ROM seeing as the stock 4.2 ROM is buggy for whatever reason.

have you charged your controller? this happened to me when i was trying to pair my sixaxis.. the 4 lights starts to blink then it will suddenly stop. tried eveything from installing, reinstallin even paired it using my laptop. when i connect my sixaxis to my laptop and use an app(forgot the name of the app) the 1 indicator is lit up so i assume that it has juice. so i tried again to pair in my N7 but same thing happened, 4 blinks and dies. Then when i hook up my sixaxis again in my laptop I noticed that its not charging because the battery indicator is not moving. I tried two other cables since I don't have my ps3 in my current location to charge but it still doesn't charge just 1 single light. When I used my last usb cable the sixaxis started charging, left it to charge for a bit and boom! It was paired with my N7.

Im not sure how to check how much battery my control has. I dont own a ps3. But anyway i did left it plugged to my computer several hours a few times, it shuld be charged. Im very frustrated .

I just got a sixaxis controller yesterday and was running into the same problems. Can't explain exactly what I did to get it to work (works every time now over the past ~20 hours) but it did start working after I reset the controller.
Take a paper clip or other small object and place it into the small hole above the top right corner of the model # of the controller.
Hope this works for you.
Ty, yeah i have tried reseting but i still get the "maximun clients already connected" message. Btw, i manage to get my control working in wired mode using USB/BT Joystick Center app. Still need to get sixaxis wireless sorted out

Your controller might be out of juice.. download ds3/motionjoy gamepad tool for windows.. its an app that lets you use a ps3 controller with your pc.. it has a battery widget that tells if your controller charges if its connected via usb..

Already checked, and its not the battery,

Might be the Bluetooth connection issues many nexus 7 users are experiencing on 4.2+.
I for example cannot properly listen to Spotify through my Bluetooth speaker set without stuttering every 5 to 10 seconds

I'm having the same exact issue as jmvzla. I can provide much, much more information, as I know exactly why it's happening. The only problem is I don't know how to fix it. I've been able to recreate the issue on three separate PS3 dualshock 3 controllers.
Here are the steps I performed to cause the controllers to work, and then stop working via Android (however still work just fine via a PS3)
- Purchase PS3 controller
- Plug PS3 controller into PS3 (I hear this is required so the PS3 can first attach its MAC address to the controller)
- Start up Sixaxis Controller app on Android to get MAC address of bluetooth adapter
- Plug PS3 controller into my Windows box and use Sixaxis Pair Tool to pair controller with MAC address of bluetooth adapter on Android
- Start the Sixaxis app on android and turn on the controller (I had two in my case, and both paired, with 1 and 2 player LED lit up on each controller respectively)
At this point, I was able to configure each controller using keyboard emulation. I was also able to configure the right analog stick as a mouse, with L2 and R2 as the left and right mouse buttons. Everything was working excellent for a few days...
Until I let the batteries completely drain on each controller. Once that happened, they won't sync up again. I now get the "Maximum Number of Clients Already Connected". I've even connected them back to the PS3 so they get the PS3 MAC address, and even after repairing them using the Sixaxis Pair Tool - no luck.
Here's the best part - I'm not even running Android JB on a phone - this is a development box (ODROID-X2 to be exact). It's running Android 4.0.4. More specs on the build if it helps, including kernel version below:
Kernel version 3.0.51
[email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 3 12:38:41 KST 2013
Build Number
odroidx2-eng 4.0.4 IMM76L eng.ckkim.20130103.120123 test-keys
I'm on my way back to the store to return these controllers and purchase two new ones. I guarantee they will work (and will post my update once I get them).
I hope this helps track the issue down - I'm building a gaming emulation station, and I don't think the person I'm giving this to will want to have to always think about making sure their controllers never drain down to 0%
An update to my previous post:
I decided to give it one more shot, so I did the following:
- Pressed the tiny button on the back of each PS3 controller to reset it
- Connected the first PS3 controller via USB cable to my ODROID-X2, went into the Sixaxis Controller app and pressed Start
- Once initialized, I then clicked "Pair Controller"
- Unplugged cable from controller, then held down the PS button, several seconds (2-3, maybe more) after it started flashing. Controller 1 activated.
- Connected the second PS3 controller via USB cable to my ODROID-X2, clicked "Pair Controller"
- Unplugged cable from controller, then held down the PS button, several seconds (2-3, maybe more) after it started flashing. Controller 1 activated.
- Connected the third PS3 controller via USB cable to my ODROID-X2, clicked "Pair Controller"
- Unplugged cable from controller, then held down the PS button, several seconds (2-3, maybe more) after it started flashing. Controller 1 activated.
I now have 3 controllers, all with mouse emulation that I activate by pressing R3. I'm in the process of configuring all the key mappings now.
Maybe it's how long I pressed the PS button when initializing the controller?
Hope this helps jmvzla
Not sure if it will help, but I did a video showing how to pair through PS3 controller with the SixAxis app using just a USB OTG cable. Not sure but it sounds like you're missing a step.

I've got a note 2, running 4.4.2, a note pro 8.4 running 4.4.2, and an asus win7 computer
i can run sidesync on the pc, connect the note via usb or wifi, and get keyboard/mouse sharing working just flawlessly
as soon as I attempt to do screen sharing, the note2 goes black (which it should) but the virtual phone just loads endlessly, and eventually times out. doesn't matter wifi or usb
if I launch sidesync on the tablet, and then the phone, the tablet see's the phone and attempts to make the connection. phone goes blank, and virtual phone just eventually times out, just like on the pc
has anyone gotten this working on the note 2? is there a specific version that works?
so, 5 minutes after the post, there's windows update notification, and the update is related to samsung USB driver update
do the update, reboot, and holy jebus, screen sharing works!
sorta
now I get connection (usb and wifi work) and I can see the screen mirrored. the phone screen does not black out, but I can't interact with it either. on the pc, I can see the mouse icon turn from spinny blue thing, to solid blue donut, but it does't interact with the phone. I can click the home, back and menu buttons on the bottom of the virtual phone, and they work, but nothing else does
bleh
any ideas?
