Anykind of docking station available?

Hey guys, has someone a fitting dock for the Captivate Glide?
AFAIK there is no official one, but maybe the dock of another, more famous, Samsung phone does fit the Glide also.
Greetings Alex22

Unfortunately, I think we are in lack of luck with the µUSB port on the top. This would constrain to put the phone horizontally on a dock with the docking on one edge.
This must explain the lack of docking station on eBay unlike the batteries' charging stations.
One alternative may be to reproduce this SGS mod : http://www.qianqin.de/2011/09/18/samsung-galaxy-s-wireless-inductive-charging-mod
But I don't know if it is possible with our Captivate Glide.

Here is 1 from Philips http://www.techradar.com/reviews/au...-systems/philips-fidelio-as851-1042940/review unfortunately our phone would be connected upside down. I wonder if there is an app that lets it work upside down?

Back when I used CM for the HTC Dream, I always had the option to enable the screen to rotate 360°.
So I guess it's a ROM thing, but definitely makeable.
But anyways, that's a pretty hefty docking station, and with nearly 200 pounds it's nowhere near my budget.
Lets just hope there'll be more Android Dockingstations to come.
@EMegamanu: Thanks for the link, pretty interesting that you can mod a phone like that. But I'm too afraid and too inexperienced with solderings to mod my phone like that

Wow, that is impressive. I wish I didn't care about my warranty. Lol

This looks cool the Dock Boss allows you to plug your android phone into any Ipod dock:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20110799-251/dockboss-plug-android-phones-into-iphone-docks/
OK I doubt it allows you to control the Next track and play/pause but it should charge and route the Music to the device. It plugs to your phones audio connector and the Micro USB to charge.
Here is another dock that looks interesting uses a cable to plug to an android phone so it does not matter where the connectors are located. It also has a nice little Remote:

I like the docking station from thinkgeek. The Price is okay, the design as well, the only thing that I would nitpick about is that you can't just put the phone into the dock, but have to connect both headphone and charging cable to hte phone.
Otherwise than that it's worth the weight for me.

You know, it's a shame that our phones seem to have a cult following almost. Many people don't seem to know about it either. Samsung did great, especially since keyboard phones are going the way of the dodo, and I use a keyboard for gaming and texting anyway.
My only complaint is that there's no hardware camera button, but that's not a deal breaker in the least.

Really missing my Milestone dock.....its the only downside to this phone I can find.
I hate fishing for charging leads

The keyboard and the availability on my carrier made the decision for me. I do a lot of emailing from my phone, and the keyboard is just faster and more precise than even Swype style input options for me.
I did at first miss the hardware camera button from my old WinMo LG eXpo, it was very nifty, but it's not even an issue for me anymore. Is that a common thing among Android phones?

the galaxy s vibrant comes with a charging dock that uses the same corner usb connection. Unsure on the thickness of the phone in comparison to the vibrant though.

Well, I bought one to try out. Wasn't much, only $10 from eBay with the packaging or $13 new. Oh, I'm using a stock AT&T Captivate Glide on the latest update.
Physically, it's fine. Smaller than it looks, actually, covering about 9/10 of the length & 4/5 of the height. The depth is a bit more fudged, covering only the lower half of the slider, leaving the screen half hanging. The main issue is that although the plug is 95% on target, the 5% means you'd have to add a spacer to raise the rest of the phone up a bit. But it definitely attaches without trouble. Nice & compact.
EDIT: Driver: the charging works, though considering it didn't a few hours ago, I'm not sure what changed. Ah, the connector is a tad longer than what fits, so perhaps one must jiggle the phone a bit to get it to work? Though I tried that earlier, too....
Software/driver side is a flop. The Samsung Desk Home application from the marketplace (the generic one) doesn't work. So yeah, no automatic launching or sound out of the dock's line out. It's odd, since the settings has a dock setting in the settings, so something should work. I just wasn't able to find out what. I suppose the dock might have an identifier & the phone isn't coded in?

which docking station did you get? that is 1 thing I don't understand with samsung, why do they make the micro usb connector on the top of the phone? It should be on the bottom, this would be simpler for docking stations to connect and less cumbersome having a wire to conect all the way to the top of the phone.

My mistake, I forgot it's difficult to locate. Here's the Galaxy S used version <ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-Multimedia-Dock-Home-Charger-/150629639833> & new version <ebay.com/itm/N-OEM-Samsung-Galaxy-S-4G-Multimedia-Dock-Home-Charger-/160616869990>. If you go through the store, there's the Vibrant & Galaxy S versions, but I'm not sure there are any differences.
Being a horizontal dock, your issue is not applicable, though it's certainly understandable.
Oh right, the clock application already has a dock function, but it doesn't activate upon docking & I couldn't get it to reroute the audio. It does prevent the screen from turning off, so I guess it's not too bad.

Hi would this work with the glue as a basic dock? not sure if the plug is in the right place for this mobile,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gal...UTF8&colid=2AOM2U1G0O9ZJ&coliid=I9O547D7LLW3P
if not aren't there any Samsung accessories that can be adapted for a dock to charge or hdmi out here's wishing lol.
Atb

That is the amazon location of the dock I reviewed. Everything I've mentioned should apply.
I guess glue would work? As long as it's completely dry, naturally. I used three thin nails in three rows, taped down. Not the prettiest, but at least it matches the blue led.

Hi Thanks for that, where's the link to your review and why were the nails used just to stop it dropping forward of the front of the dock, were there any other mods needed to make it work.
Thanks
Paul

The review is spread over two posts, two & four posts above my prior post with pictures.
I used nails as a spacer as the micro-USB port is a tad bit high. Everything else worked well, though the phone electrical connection to the dock may be finicky at times.

I currently use an ihome desk lamp. The glide sits rather well in the ipod dock, but I have to supply my own power. I was eyeing this the other day too http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ec56/

found it! SGH-i927 HTPC solution
here's what i think we've all been looking for:
this should be all you need to use your Captivate Glide as HTPC (or just use the dock on your night-table/desk, whatever)
iBolt™ MHL Streamer Dock - Black
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.php?divid=Samsung&model=Samsung+Captivate+Glide+SGH-I927&cat=Cradles&skuno=94753
the only actual dock i've found that's listed as compatible with i927, and it comes with cables! i am SO getting that one of these days...
(actually, the compatibility list is quite large, i'm guessing just about any device with MHL will work with this dock)
i happened to find this site about an hour into googling for a glide dock... they have the widest range of sgh-i927 stuff i've found:
http://www.fommy.com/samsung-captivate-glide-sgh-i927.htm
and that's the only place i've found that sells the iBolt dock...
couple that dock with a Bluetooth kbd/mouse combo; something like this:
CE Compass Bluetooth HID Wireless Keyboard Mouse
*edit*
THIS little thing is AWESOME:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-touch-keyboard-k400
I picked one up on sale at Office Depot. Works GREAT and even has a home button.
After using this on windows pc's, android tablets and android phone (USB OTG), I HIGHLY reccommend it to anyone looking for a keyboard with integrated touchpad.
two finger scrolling in windows and android works great.
in case you don't have an hdmi monitor, just an HD hdmi to dvi adapter for ~$5
(if you have to go DVI, chances are you'll need an audio cable to connect to your audio device. for example, my tv is older and doesnt do audio over DVI, but the DVI input has RCA audio inputs right beside it; so i would use a 3.5mm to RCA cable.
Or you may want to run from phone headphone jack to audio line in on your home theatre audio receiver.
Chances are if you need seperate audio cable, either 3.5mm to RCA or 3.5mm double-ended cable would be what you need.)
so that's about $100 to use your phone as a desktop computer or HTPC as well.
I can't wait to try this on my 60" DLP tv....

Review of Anker mini bluetooth keyboard with touch pad w/pics!!!

This is review of Anker Mini Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad, http://www.ianker.com/anker-mini-keyboard-bluetooth-touchpad-wireless/product/98UNWL10-BTIP
I have seen a number of similar candybar keyboards in the past but was always turn off when I start reading reviews/comments where it seems like a 50/50 chance of getting something that works. When opportunity presented to review this type of keyboard from Anker, I jumped right in. Once you get one of these multimedia keyboard in your hand, the first thing that goes through your mind is how much it resembles a remote control. It has the same shape and plastic built quality, but with a bonus of being super lightweight and offering SO MUCH MORE!!! According to its compatibility spec, it works with all versions of Windows, Android, Mac OS X, and Linux. It should pair up with any device with Bluetooth radio, and I had absolutely no problem pairing it up with Note 2 - within seconds! As a bonus, this mini keyboard has internal storage compartment with a small usb thumb drive dongle to add BT capability to any PC or laptop. If you don't need to use it, it stores neatly inside of the keyboard. This thumb drive hardly adds any weight to this "candybar". What else makes it very light and portable is the rechargeable battery, a decent 400mA capacity.that fully recharges within hours and should last you for a very long time. No need for AA or AAA batteries. The weight of this keyboard is about 100g, with a dimensions of approximately 150mm x 59mm x12.5 mm. I did mention a plastic built quality, but I really don't mean it in a negative way. It still feels very solid in your hand. Every button has a clickable response with a fantastic tactile feedback. But make no mistake, this is not your typical keyboard for a fast typing. It feels more like a keypad from some of the sliding phone keyboards designed with thumb-typing in mind. Although you can probably get used to it, I would say this keyboard is not going to replace your touch-screen keyboard or external keyboard if you are planning to do a lot of typing or used to a fast typing. The limitation is the touch pad on the right. Because of it's location, you don't have a symmetric placement of the keys between the edges of the keyboard. As a result I found the most comfortable way for me to type was with left hand thumb while keeping right hand navigating the touchpad and its left/right mouse and directional arrows underneath.
Now, about touchpad. All I have to say is WOW! Considering its small 34mm x 34mm footprint, it is very functional and essential part of the keyboard. After being paired up, as soon as you tap it a mouse cursor appears on the screen, After a short idle time or while typing, it disappears. Scrolling on this touch pad is very responsive and effortless. Tapping works like Enter key. Also, you get a dedicated scroll bar area which is like your scroll mouse to go up/down in your documents or webpages. There is also two dedicated buttons for a left/right mouse click which is great for Windows based operation, but also works great in Android where left mouse button is your typical tap and right mouse button has your return/go-back function. Holding FN + Left mouse button works as long press. Arrow keys will cycle through shortcuts on your screen. I also discovered that pressing FN and CTRL+ALT+DEL (under Enter key) fast reboots your phone. There are a lot of other dedicated function keys on this keyboard. You get your Home button, Menu button, and Return/Go-back button. You have a full set of multimedia controls with volume up/down and mute, and Play/Pause and FW/Rev controls. That is one awesome feature to take control of your phone remotely from a distance. I had my phone in the kitchen while I picked up this mini-keyboard in another room, hit play to start my recently opened playlist, skipped to a song, raised the volume up - all this controlling my phone without direct line of sight and using only this small remote control/keyboard.
They really should have called it a multimedia keyboard because in reality that is exactly what its functionality intended for! It's not going to replace your touch screen interaction or fast typing from external or touch keyboard. But it will enhance your multimedia experience with Note 2, especially for remote operation and in situation where you have your phone docked and/or connected to external tv/display. Most important, its not just limited to a phone or a tablet but could be used with your laptop or PC or MAC. I'm sure it will work with a smart TV as well. This is definitely not a one trick pony.
I also want to mention that it comes with a decent manual going over its functionality and operation. Not to mention this mini keyboard has a built-in laser pointer which makes it great to run a presentation, considering you can use it as a remote to control your laptop, etc. Oh yeah, and it has awesome backlight functionality!!! All around this is just a FANTASTIC gadget where you will look for any excuse to pair it up and to use with your phone At least, that's what I'm doing right now. I did mention at the beginning of my review about similar keyboards I have seen elsewhere. This particular keyboard is a common design, not invented by Anker. What Anker brings to the table by offering it under it's brand name is a superior quality control, dedicated support, and a piece of mind with their 18-month warranty. In general, if you are into cool gadgets - this is definitely one to get to enhance your Note 2 experience or experience with any other smartphone, tablet, computer, or smart tv!

Trust me, you will find excuses to use it lol!!! Someone asked me if backlight color could be changed to another one, so I might try to take it apart later to see if the inside battery is replaceable and also if led could be replaced with another one of different color.

That's what I figure as well. I may not have a use but I'll find one.
I read on Amazon that the backlight is red? Hard to tell from pics but if true red I'll be happy, I love red.

Laser pointer is red, backlight is amber. Actually a cool amber color.
As I mentioned in my review, I wouldn't use it as external typing keyboard. For that I really like my Anker ultra-thin bt keyboard. This Mini is a great multi-media remote/navigator when you are using with N2 directly. BUT, if you have your phone connected to smart dock or through hdmi to a tv/monitor and you are not next to your phone - it makes a perfect navigation controller with its touch pad, home/menu/back keys, volume controls, multimedia play controls, and also a keyboard for typing. I'm also planing to test it out with Android on a stick I'm getting sometime next week, hopefully. In general, you can find a lot of uses for it, not too mention interworking with Windows laptop/PC or MAC. Oh, and don't forget if you have a cat in the house - that laser pointer is perfect!

I have this keyboard (or like said multi media) it is really cool just what I was looking for I use it on my computer as well and it works really well... It is nor great if you are going to be doing major typing but it is really smooth

How is the battery life on this one?
My Rii Mini is getting old and not holding a charge as long any more.
I have enjoyed it but the LEDs on the Ankor look brighter than the ones on the Rii.

Since I use it occasionally, I can't comment on this yet. It will get a lot more use once i get my Android on-a-stick where this is going to be my main controller. But for comparison, look at the battery spec of your RII and this Anker mini. I have a picture above with battery spec. I know Anker usually anal about battery life since they make their own stuff lol!!! so I'm sure they select a product with a highest capacity they can fit. The backlights are very bright, and of course if you constantly have it on - it will drain your battery faster. But in general, reviews of RII and FAVE similar keyboards is what put me off from buying it until I saw Anker offering the same one. I think it all made by iPazzPort or something like that (that's how it showed up in my BT device list). I figured, if there is an issue and it stops working, I got it with 18-month warranty

Review of MOGA Pro wireless game controller w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of MOGA Pro wireless game controller: http://www.mogaanywhere.com/about-moga/moga-pro-controller/
Let me start with a disclaimer: "I'm not a big fan of video games. Period." A short while ago after reviewing a pair of wireless headphones someone asked me about delay in sound through bluetooth conection when you pull a trigger, and suggested to try Dead Trigger as a test game. I was very impressed with a graphics of that game on Note 2, but got frustrated very fast with on-screen controls. Playing Solitaire on touch screen is one thing, but when you want to play and to experience the excitement of a real game on a smart phone of any size, or a tablet, or either of those connected to your big screen tv - the best choice is narrowed down to MOGA Pro.
Before jumping into the review, I wanted to mention about packaging of this controller. The box it came in was top quality with an eye popping graphics which gets you excited ahead of what's inside of it. Definitely a premium quality retail package that captures your attention right away. Once you unpack it, you find MOGA Pro game controller, usb charge cable (a regular micro-usb connector), a very nice tablet stand, and a coupon for a free game (with a suggestion sticker on the box cover for free download of N.O.V.A. 3). PAC-MAN came standard free with a controller as well. Since I mentioned that I'm not big into playing games, I don't have too many comparison references, but the build quality of this wireless controller was beyond any other gadget/accessory I ever reviewed. This lightweight (6.7 oz -> 188g) device is built rock solid. Rubberized grip handles add to a fantastic ergonomics with every possible controller options right under both of your thumbs and index fingers. You get dual analog sticks, directional pad, shoulder buttons and triggers, select/start buttons, 4 action buttons, LED illumination button (for action buttons), and a power switch to select between enhanced MOGA mode and HID enabled mode. Controller is rechargeable so there is no need to worry about batteries or their additional weight. The built-in MOGA arm flips open with a spring loaded latch that extends to handle a smart phone up to 82mm in width. For my testing I used Zerolemon extended battery with it's TPU case which is 85mm in width that got fitted without a problem. One thing to note, in this particular case with Note 2 and ZL ext battery, MOGA arm served as resting kickstand rather than a secure grip that will hold phone tightly. This wasn't a show stopper for me playing various games, using touch-screen in-between, and being able to find a comfortable sitting position with a best viewing angle of the Note 2 screen. Under an additional heavy weight of ZL ext battery, I wouldn't recommend tilting this controller during the game play. But a naked Note 2 or any other 5" or smaller smart phone would get a much better grip with moga arm. You do have to keep in mind, playing video games will put a toll on your battery. Therefore a smart phone with an extended battery is a realistic setup, and I happy to report that even in extreme case with the biggest smartphone/phablet equipped with the largest extended battery - MOGA Pro was still able to handle it without a sweat! Oh, and if you read the latest announced from E3 conference, the next gen of MOGA controllers will feature "boost" technology with a built-in battery charger to keep charging your phone while you are playing.
If you want to use this controller with a tablet, a very sturdy tablet stand will be able to accommodate any tablet even with a case and up to 10" without a problem. The ultimate setup will be connecting your phone/tablet to tv and using controller from across the room thanks to bluetooth pair up. With moga arm conveniently folded back, MOGA Pro becomes a regular wireless controller. Pair up with Note 2 went flawlessly thanks to MOGA Pivot app you download for free. This app will guide you to a list of all the available games supporting enhanced play mode with MOGA Pro where you can select to download (free) or to buy them depending on your selection. It also scans through your already downloaded games and sorts them in the list for easier access. I haven't tried it, but after doing a bit more research found a number of people skipping Pivot app in favor of Universal Driver app to run a lot of other games in HID game mode. I believe that's more appropriate especially with ROM emulators which are obviously not supported by native MOGA app. Either way, you have options to cover you for any game!
Since I already had Dead Trigger and Beach Buggy, it automatically showed up in the list of my games. PAC-MAN was available for download as a free bonus; I also downloaded free version of SG DeadZone, and used my coupon to get free N.O.V.A 3 (which I have to warn you requires additional download of 1.6GB of data). What can I say? Using separate game controller opened up my eyes and cleared up 5.5" screen to a full visibility without hovering with my fingers to reach for controls. I couldn't pulled myself away from playing these games. You definitely get a full standalone gaming experience with this mobile gaming system. What is amazing, it supports even old Android phones with 2.3. So if you still have your old Droid X, dust if off and put it to a good use Switching to play in a setup with Nexus 7 was another great experience where I was able to be less careful with moving the controller since my tablet was up on the included stand. Next week I'm getting a new HDMI adapter, so the gaming will move to tv!
Overall, if you enjoy playing games on your smartphone or tablet and want to have the best gaming experience with one of the best built mobile gaming controllers - for $49.96 shipped free from Amazon and with included 2 year warranty there is no other choice but to go with MOGA Pro. If anybody was hesitant about fitment with Note 2, I hope my pictures below can demonstrate that it can extend to host even Note 2 with Zerolemon battery, although you will have to restrain your excitement while playing so you don't slide the phone out of the moga arm. I will actually go as far as recommending MOGA Pro as one of those must have accessories!

I visited powera, the makers of the Moga Pro, at E3. They are coming out with a moga pro that will also charge phones while in use. No specifics on charging rate, amount, battery life affects on the moga, etc as they had the prototypes on display but thought u guys would want to know.

Good review. I like the controller except it doesn't work with all games. Just the ones in the Moga library. I would love to use it playing "Real Racing 3" for example.

Have you tried Universal Driver app? I haven't tried it myself but heard it suppose to be truly "universal".

Great write up.
Has anyone used emulators with this moga controller? Wondering how well the game play is. .

thanks was looking for a good controller for my note 2

I use the universal app and it works for every game I have tried. Also super nes emulator and moga works great.

nice write up and pictures.
I forgot about the universal app. Since I had a PS3, and had gotten Sixaxias Controller app when I had the Evo4G, I went with the GameKlip and Clingo Neklit. Both appear to to have same portability. The way went, makes since if you already have a PS3 controller, otherwise it'll cost more than the Moga.
Dead Trigger, SG Shadowgun, and Shodowgun are a lot more enjoyable experiences with a controller. I would add in GTA3 and GTAVC too.
The bad part, some mobile games just aren't great with controllers because there is no native gamepad support and can't program controls or use touch profiles such as NFS or Dead Space. It's just limits to the games.
Not as robust, but works well with emullators is Wiimote app with a Wiimote. I've used it with the classic controller attached.

where to get this for the uk?
only game.co.uk has it listed and that store is notorious for under stocking (sure enough its out of stock).
do any of the usa retailers ship to the uk?
I ordered now from a usa retailer but I have to wait 48 hours to find out shipping fees.

Don't pull a trigger on original Moga Pro yet. They are coming out in October/November with a new "Power" version that will have built-in external battery to charge your phone while playing and also a new improved latch that will accommodate Note 2 even with Defender case (thus will work with Zerolemon battery/case). It will be a bit more pricey, but in my opinion these improvements worth it.
Engadget done a quick write up about it already: http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/14/powera-moga-power-controllers-hands-on/
Keeping my fingers crossed to get review sample as well whenever it's available.

That does look interesting but trigger still pulled, for few reasons.
1 - If I wait they then may have another improvement in pipeline when I go for the other and then I wait again (and again)?
2 - I will also use this as a holder for the phone in landscape mode (I have my dock for portrait), but will controller be heavy enough to act as a holder, as this review indicates probably not, still probably better than if no holder at all.
3 - I am impatient.
Its possible I wont like this product and resell it right off, I dont even use my phone fo rgaming at all as I find touch controls for gaming counter intuitive. As well as gaming on a small screen. However I am not against small gaming devices, as there is no doubt it saves a ton of space over eg. a full sized console.
So I ordered this controller alongside a hdtv adaptor (which I hope works on a hdmi monitor), but cant test yet due to the hdmi cable not arrived yet.
The combo in use would mean the hdtv adaptor is using the usb port on my phone which is another reason, as that then means I cant use the charge whilst play feature anyway.
I have now found a uk vendor tho and they have shipped game did get in stock quick as it turns out, cancelled the order from powerA as a result.

can this controller work on despicable me 2 or temple run? so I can use this rather than swiping on the screen.

does it work with all games?

Look at the post #11 above. With universal app for Moga it works with every game, including super nes emulators and other emulators.

I feel the need to chime in here now I have this device.
First of all the device is very light weight, some have compared it to a 360 controller, its much lighter and smaller than a 360 controller.
Second in mode A it takes an age to sync to my phone, mode B its faster.
Third even with the universal app at least for me it doesnt work in every game, that app has no documentation that I can find in how to setup touchscreen emulation, it just says how to activate the driver. No idea how everyone else got it working but I cant find documentation on how to setup profiles, it certianly isnt plug and play, so its not the case of install app, activate driver and play any game, thats tripe.
At the moment the controller is an expensive brick for me as I can only get it working on official moga games, after waiting 2+ mins for it to sync.

Using the Zero Lemon case, does it come off quickly when the controller got tilted?
I like to play while lying in my bed. Will it come off and smack on my face? LOL

[Q] Would you like an Ipega pg-9037 review?

Hi friends, I bought a new ipega pg-9037 gamepad to replace my old, good but not perfect pg-9017. This is the new gamepad from ipega almost identical to xbox one gamepad. I can tell you it s a really good one,are you interested in a review ?(I even disassembled it too clear if side triggers are analogue or not). Looking for one review before I could buy it ,I couldn t find anyone , and so I had to base my quality evaluation on the ipega pg-9021. Let me know

Hey man, I'm looking at getting this controller for my Shield Android TV. How has it held up in the last couple of months? Do you think it is worth it? Looks pretty nice to me but I can't find any English Reviews of it.
I really wanna know what the input lag is like? Alot of bluetooth controllers are plagued with input lag
Also found this: http://aud.dx.com/product/ipega-pg-...-for-ios-android-black-961384084#.VXZq6c-qr2Y
Not sure what it means by 2.4GHz wireless instead of Bluetooth? Wifi direct maybe? Have you used the 9038?

I only tried ipega 9017 and 9037. They are great, but 9037 is better because of the design identical to the best controller ever created (the Xbox one controller). The analogue sticks are better than the ones found in 9017(I hate anolugue sticks as the ones on PSP),and with the phone mounted you can play with no problems for many hours instead on 9017 that destroy your hands . I can t tell you so much about the lag, I can tell you that on my nexus 5 works really well, I play PSP emulator with burnout revenge, Dreamcast emulator with virtual striker, and n64 emulator with conker plus many other games or retro games like Cadillac and dinosaurs. For virtual striker I can tell you I find no difference from my Dreamcast version and I played both for many hours apart for some framedrops on the emulator. Conker bad fur day for n64 on nexus 5 + ipega feels great and I want to end the story on android because I can play it very well ( apart for some problems with 2or 3 levels on android emulator that have graphic glitches where you have to change the emulating core) I never played it on n64 but I almost finished the Xbox version and the game experience is the same. I don t know the Bluetooth version of the gamepad but nexus 5 has 4.0 and the distance is inexistent and I can see no lag. Battery in 9017 and 9037 last more than the nexus 5 battery, every time I charged the two controllers battery was half,after almost 4 hours of play . I bought 9037 because of the design knowing it s the same as Xbox one, and due to the good experience with 9017 apart from the feeling in hands. I read many reviews of other brands gamepad,but maybe ipega s ones are the best

hello an information because I would buy , but would like to know if the dpad and suitable for play you fighting game retrogaming , to follow the special moves . My prerogative thanks

iPega PG-9037 review
I bought this bluetooth controller recently. It has very good design, replica of xbox360 controller. I feels good in the hand, its very light. It has a telescopic stand to mount your phone (up to 6 inches). I comes with a manual and a micro usb cable for charging. I tested the controller using Zenfone 5 and it fits perfectly into the telescopic stand. No need to install apk app or root, just open your phone's bluetooth, then turn on the controller by pressing HOME + X, then pair both device. I haven't tested it on android games but it works perfectly on emulators like ppsspp and DraStic DS, you need some minor key binding though. Battery last twice vs your phone so don't worry about it. You can charge it using your standard USB charger 5V 1A or plug it on your PC.
I also tested this iPega PG-9037 on PC games. No driver needed, just pair it. I used x360ce for mapping the bluetooth controller like a xbox360 controller. It works perfectly. Use bluetooth dongle if your PC doesn't have a built-in bluetooth device.
I haven't tested this controller on IOS but other said that some games wouldn't work.
All in all I recommend this controller for both android and PC gaming. You wont regret.
I hope my quick review helps.

Purchased ipega 9037 for Samsung Galaxy Note 5
Hi
Can any help me to connect ipega 9037 to Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Somebody Help Me How To Connect This Ipega To Pc

I recently bought one.
Wired to the pc, its detected as an xbox 360 controller.
Connected with BT to mi S7, works perfect.
Didn't tried x360ce yet...
The only 2 hickups that i found are:
- The manual state that the R2/L2 are analog triggers with some Hall device detector attached... Guess what? It's a lie!!! There is NO hall device detector attached to it. I dissasembly my controller to find out why it wasn't working....
- The repairing method needs to reset the gamepad... and the reset button needs a pin to push it... Unnecesary complicated...
As a side note, it includes 2 rumble motors (with no connection or even pinouts) for the weight feeling.

Can you please confirm that the gamepad can be connected to the pc with the USB cable and it will be detected and can be used as a wired controller without bluetooth?

Yes, connected to the pc by wire works perfect... Of course, the R2/L2 analog triggers are only buttons, but besides of that, everything is perfect...

Does our nexus 5 supports IR transmitter over P2 (3.5mm) ?

Title

I also would like to know...

You mean 3.5" audio jack? Yes it was working with myremoconx app and a selfmade jack to IR adapter. But sadly after I updated to cm13 it s no more working,and I don't know why. I can see the led blinking when I try to press a button (using a camera...I can see infrared,I m not a superhuman),but my TV doesn't react as when I had cm12.1. It could be something caused by audio latency? Or something else? I tried many times but can't find an answer. I only know that it was working great,I even build my own ultra small jack to ir adapter ,big no more than 3 mm over the plug ( I used smd ir LEDs) . And one month ago I received from China a device that is made for iPhone and it s small like the one I build but with on and off function,so you can keep it connected every time,led light power is even stronger than my diy project. Now to bypass the problem I ordered from China a zazaremote microusb to ir ,but I don't t know if it could work on nexus 5 (almost sure it will work) ,and sadly it s bigger than the other options...
Are there anyone interested in investigation about the problem

Let me know something, I m interested, because it was very useful to me,and maybe to someone else. The USB device can even clone a remote from what I understand, but the last one I bought or the one made by myself are more portable, you can leave it attached to the headphones socket.As you can see in the picture if you rotate the device inside the socket,it turns off or on

Myremoconx is the best I found

Zazaremote app and his micro USB device are working great... You can even clone a remote from the original,and create a mixed one. You can find it in aliexpress for cheap. This is the best devide I could find, forget about the audio to IR devices , you will not regret

i would but in the current political-economical situation of my country(Brazil) i can only buy from local sellers, and those only have the 3.5mm one(which was already hard to find).
zazaremote i found for about 10 bucks on aliexpress, however due to inflantion ,taxes, import taxes and conversion $-R$ i would literally pay more than 50 USD, in comparsion the p2 one i bought is 8 USD with 1 week shipping, currently awaiting it (there has been some holidays, i expect to get it next monday)
there is also the 3+ month waiting from aliexpress

I paid only 10$ for 2 pieces, one for me and one for my brother. We bought many jack to ir receivers and the best ones are the self made mine,and the iPhone one. Please let me know if you can make it work. With cm12 and nexus 5 was working great but after cm13 it doesn't work no more.The or one lack the clone features but it s more portable, and you can leave it inserted every time.

Now, besides the (...) option on the diy, how can you fit so many buttons for so many things on the screen? Or do you only create a power button?

I have it and I wouldn't carry the Nex with the remote attached as you could potentially damage the charging port. The remote itself doesn't fit properly with my spigen case on it, I'm sure the same applies to other cases. Love the diy remote learning feature though.
