A friend of mine also tried plugging in his HTC G2 (with Cyanogenmod), which also did not work. And I've been looking for a solution all around the place, and it seems to be a problem with Android phones in general; however, I know it's possible to get it working somehow because not everyone has the issue.
Basically, no matter if I have the USB connected via charge only or mass storage, the car display flashes "UNSUPPORTED". I've tried it with and without USB debugging enabled. And with all those combinations, I've tried having a music application open/no music apps running.
I also tried a solution here, which also did not do anything different.
I've also seen a few responses saying to just use Bluetooth instead. My car does not have Bluetooth capabilities. Using an AUX cable is a possibility, though I'd rather have the USB working.
Thanks!
Seems like the system wants to recognize your phone, but USB mode takes a few seconds to enable and therefore the system just rejects it. Disk mode will DEFINITELY have to be activated at some point, but the question is when. Try these steps:
1. With the car on, turn on the radio but don't have it in USB mode yet. Use radio, aux, cd, whatever. This will likely power the USB port at least.
2. Plug in your phone, make sure to select disk/mass storage mode.
3. Wait like 10-15 seconds for it to settle in, THEN select USB mode.
If that doesn't work, try different combinations. Like start with the radio completely off or something. If you have more than one USB port, try a different one. Other than that... I'm stumped. I got it working in a rental Ford Fiesta, but I don't remember the exact method. But it was something like this.
Try the radio with a USB stick drive to see if the radio even works that way

Sorry thegregbradley, I tried it but it didn't work.
I tried doing a couple of different things similar to that too, and it didn't work either.
As far as using a regular USB drive with some music files on it, it works fine! My friend used her iPod and that worked fine too. I don't see why it has such a problem with Android though...
In doing some reading, I have discovered information that says you need to turn USB debugging OFF for this to work...
Info comes from this thread:
http://www.hondacivicforum.com/foru...nics-10/2012-usb-android-support-88695/page2/
If not that, then I wonder if it's a problem of file management on your SD card? Just as a test, try putting your songs directly in your root folder. Or at most, one folder deep. The Fiesta I rented had bluetooth functionality, so I ended up doing it that way, as it was faster and less problematic. But I definitely would rather just plug it in if it just worked that way.
Iv found that running a rooted rom with debugging off and in mounted mode works great in my car.... No other combo has worked for me
@pwncloud, did you ever get this to work with USB debugging off? Just curious
I have debugging off in my car too and no mods to my android, it's a G2 and I get the same error on my 2012 Civic LX.
To update, no I never got it to work. I've settled with an aux cable.
OK, so I've hijacked enough to want to create my own.
Stock Sprint S3 (two actually) and I cannot seem to get PS3 controllerS to work. 2 Phones, 2 Controllers, 1 USB OTG (known good, works with flash drives perfectly), Several USB cables. Tried the JoyCenter test app and it also shows no movement on the controller. USB reads connected, controllers power up (flash "slowly") but have been told I should see a "control box" that never shows. My phone has had all kinds of settings tweaked (although still not rooted), so figured I would try the wife's as hers is nearly out of the box and got same results as I figured it was something I did or changed.
Tonight I will be going by GameStop (new/used game store) and seeing if I can try one of their controllers to make sure I didn't somehow buy two counterfeit controllers (bought from two sources locally and do not have PS3 to test although I saw one working on seller's PS3).
Any ideas/tips/suggestions/etc?
-Have charged the controllers overnight to make sure they were full charge as well.
Thanks so much! DYING to get this working and I'm leaving on road trip this weekend, which would be PERFECT to have this working!

HOW TO GET IT WORKING!!!
OK, well after some incredibly frustrating days of trying to get this to work... I think I have it solved. Well, at least for some games.
I got it working on ShadowGun perfectly. NOVA 3 I am still working on, Emulators seem to work as long as you don't need the right analog stick.
*I know VERY VERY little about programming and the such. Just enough to root phones and "acquire" apps.* That being said, apparently Sprint S3 does not play nice with PNP. I plugged, it didn't play.
NOT ROOTED
What I needed to get wired PS3 controller working:
PS3 Dualshock 3 Sixaxis Controller
Mini Male => USB A Male cable
USB OTG (On-The-Go) Cable
"PS3PairingTool" App **I know this is for wireless per the app's info, but this is the only thing I got the controller to read and MUST keep the cable connected. Can turn BT off once controller is fully connected**
"USB/BT JoyCenter" App
Finally, how to connect them up:
1. Plug everything in (Controller to USB cable to USB OTG to Phone)
2. Open "PS3PairingTool" and let it find the controller, click and "PAIR"
3. Once paired, open "USB/BT JoyCenter" and then let it find the controller, select the controller
4. Press the PS button on the controller, light on controller should now go to "1"
5. Test the controller to make sure buttons are reading
6. Once in ShadowGun (for example), you will need to assign an action to whatever button you want
7. Click the THANKS and/or Donate to buy me a much needed drink after hours cursing to figure this out!
8. ENJOY!!
As I said, I know just enough to be dangerous, so if you're having any problems LMK and I'll see what I can do. I am still working on getting this 100% and possibly finding an easier way to hook it up while not having to Root.
My guess is that isn't an original controller but a aftermarket had this happen before
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
ok, fair enough... but two controller from two sources both fakes?
Thats why I will be seeing if the store will let me just try one of their used controllers they know are legit to see if it does anything else. I will be very upset if BOTH of them I bought are fakes!
FYI, I think I just verified Sprint doesn't allow the wired method. 3rd known Legit controller, same results.
EDIT: DLed the PS3 controller connectivity app and it now reads, but none of my emulators will use the buttons. Anyone care enough to help a moron figure out mapping? *I WILL POST HOW I DID WHAT FOR OTHERS WHEN COMPLETED!*
EDIT #2: I got all working on both controllers besides the right analog stick. In the Joystick app, it reads, but not a single emulator will let me map or read this stick at all. Ideas?
Seems like sprint traded native ps3 controller support for google wallet... haha...
any ideas on how to get the right analog stick to read elsewhere besides the connectivity app? it reads when testing, but nowhere else

Then root?
dont want to for now, want to try and keep it stock. Thing that gets me is every other button is working fine, just not the second analog stick. USB/BT Joycenter should be able to map the second analog differently to fix it, right?
I apologize in advance for necroing this thread.
With that said, I'm having a incredibly difficult time getting my PS3 controller to work with my Sprint SGS3, stock. For Christmas, my husband got me a GameKlip with the wire so I wouldn't have to root my phone. The wire has micro USB on one end and mini USB on the other, so one end for the controller, one for the phone. I can skip the USB On The Go cable.
After purchasing two apps (I'm getting a little impatient now tossing money away), reading instructions like that in the original post, and having the pairing tool not work, I'm at a loss. When I have the phone and controller connected, all 4 lights on the top of the controller slowly flash on and off. And when I go in to the Sixaxis Controller app and click "Pair Controller" nothing comes up. It's as though it doesn't see the controller at all.
I have the controller set as the default input device on the phone as well as the gamepad enabled in the app. The BEST part out of all of this is that most buttons on the controller natively do control the phone. The start button acts like the home button. Triangle and Circle are the return/back button. Cross is the confirm button. And the d-pad/left analog stick navigates through the apps/widgets/pages that I have on display.
I just can't get the thing to work natively in a game. Even when I create .map profiles, it doesn't work. I also have the USB/BT JoyCenter app and it sees the controller connected via USB. But when I try to map buttons, it doesn't seem to really do anything. And the controller still does f'all in games, regardless of what settings I choose. I'm assuming I'm missing a step or two somewhere.
Any help is appreciated. I'm about ready to send the GameKlip back and just play how I used to.
Hey all,
I fell on top of my A100 a few weeks ago (Don't ask me how) and the side had a nice hit.
I noticed the screen is checked, but the image is clean and perfect.
The touch is not working anymore except for on 1 location, on the top part, a few square cm,
My problem is that I don't have any insurance left (took off the void) soooo,,,yeah...
I want to use it as a media player, attached to my LCD with HDMI, using a mouse to controll it.
Thing is, no mouse gets detected on this rom.
I tried to downgrade to Gingerbread from ICS, so I reset user data and cache, downloaded the ROM, changed to update.zip, placed it into the SD card, volume up + power booted it, and I get this droid opened up with a red ! on it...
Everything I try doesn't react
The mouse is a very simple HID logitech BT mouse with USB, connected to microUSB in the A100, I tried the G9x logitech too, but no luck.
Can anyone help me here? I can't use the screen at all, I am desperate
Thanks!
PVTD
The USB port on the A100 does not have host mode, you can't use it for any USB devices, it is just a way to transfer data with a PC. If you can enable BT on theA100 you will get a mouse/keyboard working, I am just not sure how to do that with no touch response on the screen.

But I have seen multiple questions abut making host mouses work with USB on the A100, I'll try find the topics back
I could connect it by BT if I keep sinning the tablet around to make the few square cm work on the screen, but it wont be possible to accept
I tried using a screening app on windows, but sadly can only see immage from the tablet, no input remotely.

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.

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 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.

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..

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.
