Amazon Fire TV Stick and the PS4 Controller

Has anybody else had any luck pairing a PS4 controller with the Amazon Fire TV Stick? I saw that with the Amazon Fire TV you hold share and power, and you can then pair them. On the Stick everything seems to go about the same, except then it says 'Unable to pair' when you select Wireless Controller.

Hey i'm having the same problem. I don't have the Fire TV but have read something similar to what you said. If you figure out a method plz let me know.

Same here
Having the same issue here. Can't seem to figure it out;

Any updates guys?

I tried sideloading Android's settings.apk - and even then it was a no go. Maybe part of their plan of selling it for $20 was counting on some sales of the $40 controller, so they don't want us using other controllers with it anymore.

I also tried with the settings apk. My problem was that the controller would not even show up in the Settings.apk Bluetooth menu. On the other hand, it showed up in the Bluetooth controllers options but did not connect.
Other people have had success connecting the Ouya controller thus I think its not that they don't want ANY 3rd party controllers, its just that the Bluetooth driver and/or hardware they're using is different than the Fire TV. Which is really sad because the ONLY reason I bought the Fire TV stick was because I read PS4 controller works out of the box with FireTV.

Same issue for me and I'm really bummed. Any other things to try besides the settings.apk? I have a feeling this is a cut cost hardware issue.

same issue
I have just spoken with amazon and according to them the PS4 controller is not compatible. I too saw an youtube video where someone was able to pair it, if anyone has a solution to this issue please let me know, I really don't want to wait for the playpad pro that is optimazied for amazon since its back ordered

I finally got it to pair, but the performance is pretty terrible, you can see the process here: http://youtu.be/jF3ExA3qzbc (no root required) to keep this from being a 'shameless plug' I'll post the brief instructions, so you can skip the video if you want.
'adb shell' into your fire stick
Get your mac address with this command: settings get secure bluetooth_address
Download and install sixaxisPairToolSetup-0.3.0
Connect your controller via usb to your pc, run the tool, and change the master address to your fire stick's address
Put your dualshock4 in pairing mode and scan for bluetooth controllers with your fire stick
As soon as "wireless controller" shows up on the list DO NOT SELECT IT.
Turn off your controller by holding the (ps) button
Select "wireless controller" on your fire stick
Turn back on the controler
It should now be connected, and it will be greyed out in the list.
if it did not connect try the pairing process again, but this method worked for me on the first try.
[/LIST](the youtube video is more detailed, and has all the links, but with this post and a quick google search, you should be able to find everything you need)
(this is a copy of a redit post I made, but I just put it here, so you can find it as well)

Can this same process be followed for a PS3 remote?

I don't believe so, the ds4 acts as a generic bluetooth controller,
the ds3/sixaxis dose not.
but feel free to try, I do not have any with me at the time, so I can not check.

have there been any updates to this? the Settings.apk is not working for me, it closes out when I attempt attach a bluetooth controller. I am trying to connect my ps4 controller through bluetooth for a lag free experience. So far after connecting it I get a ton of lag on the controller.

the steps given by BOBdotEXE in this thread worked for me it even works the main amazon screen too its not working for all games but seems ok with the emulators though

unfortunately according to the link there still is lag when inputting commands (1 month ago), I am hoping someone can find a workaround for the lag issues because games are unplayable through bluetooth using a ps4 controller

my lag isnt that bad at all tbh, i can play sonic 1 no problems, i can play nintendo emulator no problems, i think the lag may be due to the distance from the stick to the controller, my distance is about 2 metres from the stick maybe just over, if you live in a BIG house with over 5 metre distance then yes there would obviously be lag

If you need an alternative controller I have a thread for that Here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/aftv2-best-compatible-apps-accessories-t3269267

I haven't managed to get the ds4 paired via Bluetooth as yet but whilst trying I connected it to a powered usb hub which is connected to the stick which is rooted and has OTG enabled.
It worked immediately wired.
As soon as I pulled the cable though the stick rebooted. But if your desperate, rooted and have an OTG cable you can connect your ds4 to you fire stick.
FYI My old wired xbox 360 (afterglow) didn't work when that was connected.

Hello all. Sorry to bump this ancient thread but its the first google result when looking for help. So i had problems using my ps4 controller on my firetv myself as it appears amazon has cut support for game controllers on firetv. Lucky enough there is an easy fix.
Simply download and install Easy Fire Tools onto a smartphone.
Easy Fire Tools - Apps on Google Play
Install your favorite apps on FireTv and other android devices
play.google.com
Then download and install Bluetooth Pair
Bluetooth Pair - Apps on Google Play
Bluetooth pairing - automated. Simply turn on Bluetooth and connect!
play.google.com
Then just sideload Bluetooth Pair app to firetv and use it to connect to game controller.
This method works to where you dont need to pair the remote every time you want to use with firetv. Simply turn on and it will connect.
Cheers!

I'm having the same issue. Although I do not own a Fire TV, I have read something that sounds similar to what you have described. Please let me know if you come up with a solution.

Phone as a mouse, FireTV Stick?

Is it possible to run a program like droidmote without root, to control the sideloaded apps with touch features?
Also trying to get a bluetooth Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 to connect. Installed Settings.apk. Can detect it, but can't pair it.

Not without root.
I bought one of those Nyko tablet game pads for mine, the Stick natively supports the Nyko game pad, and it has a mouse mode.

Picked two is them up in store for 12.97 each. They don't have them up front, they keep them in the back so you have to ask for them.

yes

I use Yatse to control XBMC with no issues on my s3 Samsung, Remote IME seems to work for everything else.
I am unsure of the mouse, I can use my Logitech keyboard for full control and browser work though. hope this helps

Not true anymore. Try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wukongtv.wkremote.client.en
Has some translation issues (seems to be a Chinese app). Install on your phone and when you open it and connect it will automatically install the client on your ftv (or at least it did on my rooted box with play store access). Seems to have both navigation controls and mouse mode. Worked well for me in my ftv (have not tried on ftv sticks yet, mine won't be here until Tuesday).

I'm pretty weary of Chinese apps.

How are you using remote ime? This is only thing i could find in under that name. http://www.mygica.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9&p=9
Tried scanning and manually entering ip and nothing.
Don't know about the Chinese app, doesn't look like it has a touchpad feature for using it as a pointer for touch controls that fire stick remote can't do. Joystick an option even though the stick isn't a game machine. Wantd to use something i already have if possible.
I haven't had any luck connecting anything Bluetooth. Monoprice Bluetooth headphones and sound brick show as detected but never play audio. Mouse detects but doesn't pair.

That Nyko gamepad works perfectly (as a gamepad and as a mouse), and if you go to the game controllers part of Settings you'll see Amazon mentions Nyko specifically, that controller is fully supported from the factory on the Fire Stick.

The Chinese app definitely can function as a mouse. Press the square in the upper right corner and select mouse module.

Keep in mind I'm talking about the stick, there is no root for it yet. At least not a software root. If I had root, could install droidmote.

Has anyone been able to get mouse clicks to work with WKremote, the chinese app, on the Fire TV Stick? I have no problem getting a mouse pointer and I'm able to move it around, but not able to click on anything. I've tried placing the pointer on the object i want to click on, then switching to gesture mode but that doesn't seem to work either.
I'm trying to use it on the Time Warner app and I need to be able to click different options. I also tried to click on something in XBMC with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Works fine for me. Just tap the screen while in mouse mode. I think the fire can be somewhat finicky on what you can click on when in the amazon interface

Thanks. I figured thats how it should be working, but it wasn't for me. I'll try reinstalling it again to see if that does anything.

Is there an app for iOS folks. Dont see Wukong ?

Issues connecting to FireTV Stick
Anyone else having problems connecting to the FireTV Stick. When I open up the app it will search and see the FireTV and shows the correct IP, when I click it to connect it shows fail to initialize and brings me to some help section ( that clearly I do not understand)
Any info would be nice, perhaps there is an issue with the router I am using, uPnP is disabled or something? I just received my new router recently belkin ac1200 and I am not sure if that is the cause.

The Wukon app works for me on the FireTV Stick, but it's super slow. Mouse is jumpy, and inputs are sometimes delayed by 2-3 seconds.
I didn't install anything on the stick to support it, it just worked.
I am interested in how it works more if anyone has any English resources. Pretty cool how it puts up a notification on the FireTV Stick.

[Q] Paired bluetooth mouse suddenly won't connect anymore

Hey guys, new to the forum.... sideloaded the Settings.apk last night and was able to pair a motorolla BT mouse no problem. Used it all last night.
Came home today and the Fire TV was frozen, so I reset it, now the mouse isn't connecting.
When I go into the Settings app, it still shows it in the list but it doesn't say 'Connected' under the name like it does for the Fire remote.
Clicking on it in the list does nothing. I wish there was some way to tell it to forget that device but I'm not seeing any way.
I've tried uninstalling the Settings.apk but when I reinstall, the mouse is still listed as a device that has already been recognized.
I've checked the mouse batteries, and even took it upstairs and paired it with my computer to make sure it still worked.
Any ideas on how I can get it back?
***
PS Mods - Sorry for posting this in two forums, I think the first post was not placed in the right area to get help.

The only thing that helped me (for the stick though) was doing a factory reset. After that I could add it back and connect.

You must press on the bluetooth icon on the right side next to the name of your mouse, then you will have the option to unpair your mouse, and then you can pair it again.
To do so, you must install an app on your android phone which is called Wukong Remote, and use the touchpad mode, which will act like your mouse and then you can do the steps and unpair your mouse.

I had kinda the same problem, but it was with a USB mouse. I used the mouse for about a week, then the Fire TV froze, and the mouse never connected again. Not only did it not connect, it would not connect to any other device I have either. When I put the dongle in my PC it shows there is a dongle, but the firmware for the dongle was somehow erased. It has never happened to any other donlges I have, but I still worry that it could.

I would def. try this if I had an android phone, but I have an iPhone. Been looking for a mouse app for it but haven't had much luck.

Yes, doing factory reset was painful. But I learned my lesson, I don't unpair my BT keyboard/mouse from the stick or try to use it with any other device.
Also, not really answering your Q, but you can install the Amazon FTV app on your iPhone ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-fire-tv-remote/id947984433 ) and use that to toggle your BT settings (I tried that and it didn't help me). Its an option if you don't want to use a third party app (you can also send commands for control selection in your FTV for movements through adb, AFTVNews.com has a guide)

Does your mouse work good on the fire tv?

Remote Mouse and WuKong both stopped working

Remote Mouse and WuKong have both stopped working on my Fire TV. Reinstalled both apps on my phone and on the Fire TV and tried different phones, they just won't work.
The mouse cursor appears on the screen of the Fire TV but I can't click on anything, meaning I can no longer use Sky Go or BT Sports.
I don't know what happened to stop it working, they just stopped one day. I've upgraded my Fire TV to the developer preview 5.0.3 to see of that helps but it doesn't make a difference.
Help please anyone??? Thanks

If you are using firestarter go to its settings and disable adb home detection. Then reboot see if they work.

Only to confirm that ADB is turned on. Also I believe current ADB rules are one session at a time. So if you meant you have both installed chose either remote mouse or Wukong not both

Is the one ADB session only present in 5.0.3 or do older, production versions have that rule too? As I had the issue before upgrading

Uninstalled WuKong, Remote Mouse and AGK Fire from my phone, uninstalled WuKong and Remote Mouse from Fire TV, rebooted both, changed the IP of the Fire TV, reinstalled just Remote Mouse on both devices and it's working now. Wonder what it's problem was...

ADB session limited in OS5 not earlier version.
Remote mouse is working on my OS5 AFTV2 and on my non-OS5 AFTV1. I have a total of four boxes just checked remote mouse on all of them. They are all working. It is slow on AFTV2, works great on non os5 AFTV1. Make sure remote mouse is v1.08 on the AFTV

Remote mouse and wukong is fighting for the adb session on fire os 5 it seems and I am sticking with wukong now though the mouse function is flaky in some apps

I had the same problem after rooting AFTVv1 5.0.5 with Kingroot. Unrooting and uninstalling Kingroot (from within the app's settings) fixed it.

Add to the list that AGK fire stopped working. I can no longer push files no matter what phone and version of android I use. I am just stuck. No way to update side loaded apps, install new ones, or use a remote on the xfinity app.

Latest Fire OS upgrade breaks mouse mode in WuKong
After the latest Fire OS upgrade Mouse node has stopped working on Fire Stick. TV Go also prompts to purchase Fire controller.

I had the same issue starting yesterday where I could only get the mouse to move but couldn't click or use the d-pad. Uninstalled and reinstalled Remote Mouse on both Fire Stick and phone. Works again.

i updated to 1.06 version of Mouse Toggle and it works again ... FireTV 2 on 5.2.1.0_r1

As @Ludacrisvp mentioned the recent 'Mouse Toggle' and 'Remote Mouse for Fire TV' app updates are compatible with the Fire TV 5.2.1.0 OS update. The apps must be updated to versions 1.06 and 1.16 respectively for compatibility. If you have any issues please send a email to the address in the app and I will help you out.
Note: If the apps 'Status' is stuck on 'starting' then it is very likely another app is unfortunately blocking the single ADB connection. The offending app would need to be uninstalled and 'ADB Debugging' toggled off and then on again.
Thank you!

Directv and wukong apps not completley working

I am able to upload the apps to the fire stick but cannot seem to open them completely. I downloaded the wukong remote app, have a bluetooth keyboard hooked up to my Samsung un65h7150 which seems to have a pretty fast processor and also have the directv tablet app on the stick as well. I can sign in with directv but have great difficulty navigating with fire stick remote and the keyboard as well. I can get as far as highlighting a channel but to open it up never happens- no enter buttons work neither on the wukong 'try now'
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to side-load the app to your phone or tablet, open app and connect to your Firestick IP, once connected It will automatically install the wukong app on your firestick . Once you see the app under your main\apps you are good to go.

Hi thanks I thought it just wasn't completely compatible. I did download the 'appstofire', app from GP, opened it up after I had the wukong and direct tablet already downloaded (from gp) and then opened the appstofire app, selected those apps to upload then got an error to select setup. I then put in my IP and then was able to upload or transfer the wukong and directv apps to the stick. So you're saying they need to be sideloaded instead of how I'm doing it- I did see an app called fire tv stick side load app somewhere on here- I'll try that when I get in- hopefully this works since the 'appstofire' app didn't - thanks for your help :good:

Uninstall sideloaded apps. Go to playstore and download wukong app on your phone\tablet, lunch it and search for your box IP,select it and will attempt to connect, once connected it will automatically install wukong app on your fire TV. When this is all done you should be able to see the pointer on your screen and navigate through using your preferred type of build in modes ( touchpad, dpad, mouse or keyboard)

Hi not sure what I am doing wrong but once uninstalling the apps from the firestick and downloading the wukong app for 'kodi' instead of any other then launching it and selecting ip, it asks last 2 numbers which I put in and hit search and I get no device found which dosen't make sense. I have unkown sources on and usb degug on set, it tries to initialize but fails and says 1 minute to resolve but goes to a tutorial troubleshoot page without connecting?

Hi I know what you were explainging was a pretty simple, quick access to the application but I seem to be experiencing a problem connecting to it on my firestick. Once installing the app on my phone for example and then trying to access it on the stick, it shows ‘smart tv’ which is checked and ‘my devices’ which has a rectangular green box that is labeled ‘connect’ but not ‘firetv’. When tapping ‘connect', I get ‘initializing’ then failed to initialize showing the troubleshooting page suggesting developer options and usb debugging which are all on. The only other problem that I thought may be the issue was having all connections the same which they are now on the same wifi extender that has the best signal. This didn’t change anything. I then checked the IP address on the firestick which is 192.168.1.12 and it when hitting ‘Input IP to search’, it asks for the last 2 digits but when entering the 12, I quickly get ‘no devices found please try again. I then checked the IP on my tv and found its IP’s last 2 digits are 22 not 12 which I don’t see how I would change these or even if this would be the problem since it is the firestick that I am trying to get recognized. Besides, even though ‘smart tv’ shows up in the ‘New Devices’, Wukong is not functional with the actual tv either. The other suggestion they give was to install the server onto the tv but once copying that fires on to a flash drive then plugging it into my Samsung smart tv, I cant even access the file on the tv.
If you or anyone can shed any light on my situtuation - it would be appreciated

You need to side-load the app to your phone or tablet, open app and connect to your Firestick IP, once connected It will automatically install the wukong app on your firestick . Once you see the app under your main\apps you are good to go.[/QUOTE]

I'm also stuck
When I use Wukong Remote, it doesn't detect my Fire TV. I have ADB debugging and Unknown Source both on. Might there be another setting I am missing so my Firestick can be detected?
