Anyone get the DS4 to work? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

So I have an original DS4 (apparently this isn't an issue with the latest model) and while it will connect via BT it doesn't actually work. This is the first android device I've seen not work with this controller and I find it super annoying.
I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten it to work?

I've not been able to get either of mine to connect and work. Do you know what models are supposed to work. I might see if I can do a swap with my brothers newer version.

Playstation Mobile - not working

I was wondering if anybody was able to get a real fix for the Playstation Mobile APP.
I've tried flashing the certificate, manually changed the build.prop, reinstalled the app but still crashes when everything is starting to load up.
I am running AOKP 4.1.2....wondering if Jellybean is the cause?
Those that were able to have that app work, what rom is being used?
As always, XDA is the best and looking to pick some brains to get this working.
thanks

I've tried that....I am able to sign in but afterwards, crashes. I've done what was needed, just wondering if anybody can take a look on their S3 and see what the problem could be.
thanks in advance for any help.....

gametel.se works pretty good. Doesn't have all the buttons that a real PS controller would, but still works for many games.

Buy a USB on the go adapter and you can hook up your PS3 or X360 controller straight to the phone..
I was just trying earlier with a USB OTG plug with a USB 360 controller. I can control the normal screen but it won't recognize within the game. Albeit, just dabbled with the controller...maybe trying something different, etc.
I am on AOKP build 5 OC'd with Ktoon.

[Q] Gamepad, game controller

Anyone tried to setup a controller on the tablet? I just purchased a moga power pro controller but I wa unable to set it up. It is workig fine with my S4 and the bluetooth works on the tablet becase I managed to connect the phone to the tablet via bluetooth.
Does anyone know how to setup the controller or becase it is a 3rd party device the access blocked?

Are you just trying to connect via bluetooth? I haven't done this in a long time (way back on my Xoom) but I thought you needed a 3rd party app and Root access to link them.
Someone confirm? Would love to play Soulcraft II - with a gamepad.

Moga has an app can be downloaded from the play store (moga pivot) and yes it uses bluetooth. This should work without root. If you google moga is a big name which should work on android 2.3 and above. I think the reason is samsung which is now blocking all 3rd part devices from 4.4.2 but I am not sure. I think the only option left is the samsung gamepad..
Not for $100 bucks. That's plain crazy

It just supports it. Yes I have rooted but I have 3 Tab Pros as well that are not rooted and it works just fine on them as well. It also worked on my Tab S before I rooted. OTG is always supported on android devices.

Did you have to download any apps for button management?
I use my ps3 controller as gamepad with an adapter and it's working flawlessly. I've tested it with Dead Trigger 2 and Rayman Fiesta Run.

If anyone gets a wired xbox controller to work, please let us know what you did. I was totally just hoping it was going to work and it doesn't. (at least for me). I just get a blinking light on the xbox controller. I have the 10.5.
I even rooted and installed USB/BT JoystickCenter Gold Demo but then that gets a 'can not get access to /dev/uinput error'

Thanks so much for suggesting something but I'm too anxious to try it, since that thread says it's only for the SM-T700 (8.4") and I have the 10.5". He even specifically states it in post #3.

Has anyone been able to get the sixaxis app working? I can't... I believe it has to do with a missing Samsung Bluetooth protocol in newer Samsung devices.
That was one of my main reasons for getting a tablet!
Not that it matters but I emailed Samsung support and their response: Thank you for contacting Samsung. I see that you would like to know whether Galaxy Tab S supports hooking up to a wired xbox USB controller. I do understand your concern and requirement. However, this Tablet does not support wired xbox USB controller. Unfortunately, as of now theere are no compatible controllers that use an USB OTG cable for this model from Samsung and Samsung does not have any tested results on using PS3 controller with the Tablet. I hope the above provided information address your concern.
controller recharges the tablet
is it possible to connect the controller (that has a battery pack) to the tablet and recharge the tablet?
eg. can a xbox one controller, that has a battery pack, be connected with an mhl cable/usb cable to a tablet and be used to charge the tablet? so the tablet is not drained while playing games.
(i asked this in the accessories forum too, apologies)

Thanks for the info! I just ordered an otg cable. Are you able to get two controllers working with the six axis app, or just one? My goal is to be able to use emulators with two Wireless PS3 controllers. Thanks!

I tried that, but the Galaxy Tab won't find the controllers. I've set it up on multiple devices, but couldn't get it working on this one.
I read that the newer Samsung devices don't come with a Bluetooth protocol that is required for sixaxis to work... I hope I'm wrong!

[Q] Playstation 4 controller not working.

I've read over the internet that the Playstation 4 controller will work with the aftv but when I try and sync it up with it the controller just blinks white and then turns off and the aftv says fail to pair. Does anyone have this same problem and know of a workaround?
Thanks
I have the same problem. I can't get it to sync up no matter what I do. It does work while plugged into the firetv. I don't have a PS4 though so that's the only thing I can think of why mine doesn't work. Maybe it has some kind of software update that it needs from the PS4. I did buy my remote right when it first came out because it was a really good deal. I think it was priced wrong. Do you have a PS4?

Controller Support not available

Hi!
Does anyone know how to connect a controller to the OP3? I tried Bluetooth/sixaxis and OTG.
Bluetooth: Can connect to it but wont work in emulators or games.
Sixasis: Wont find the controller
OTG: Light DS4 controller is orange (So it is connected) but won't work in supported games or emulators.
OS: OxygenOS 3.1.2
I tried support but they just say it is not supported. USB controller support is native in Android OS, right? See OnePlus forum where we discuss the problem at hand. Maybe someone here knows a solution. Support OP says it is not supported on OP3. As far as I know it worked on OP1 and OP2.
I really want to play Pokemon en OoT!

Which bluetooth controller do you have? I have the Moga Pocket and it does work, though it took some fiddling around with different apps and then adjusting settings in the emulators.

Yes, I enabled it. Hoped that would do the trick. No luck there
I'm having the same issue connecting my DS4 controller. It connects to the sixaxis app properly, but the nothing responds to my inputs. I am using oxygen 3.1.3. I'm guessing a different rom will probably fix the issue, but then I'd lose dash charging. Is there any work around? I was considering buying an otg cable later today, but wont since OP has had no luck with it.

Hi, Thank got i'm not alone! Next step in the process. Installed BlissPop ROM and that made it only worse. There is no way to enable OTG on CM13. So I thought, lets restore my back-up. Now my security pattern is not recognized . Let's hope the already second running restore will work.
Anyone got another plan?

I tried contacting OnePlus support. Their response was that the OP3 is a very sensitive device and is very sensitive to input and is not designed to work with a PS4. I don't even know where they got PS4 since I didn't even mention that I was using a DS4 with my OP3.

Wireless controller with galaxy A70

Hello, I've recently bought a PS4 controller and I successfully paired it with my phone but the problem is that it doesn't detect any key presses... I've tried the same controller on PC and another phone (running Android KitKat) and it's working fine.
Is this a software issue? How can I fix it? Have anyone tried this too?
Up. Anyone could test this with at least any Bluetooth controller? I heard that s10 had a similar issue and it got solved by an update.

Most devices just don't have the keylayout files for controllers. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to make them work.
If you have magisk, there's a module called 1controller which you can just install to get that file.
If you don't, I also have the specific file you need to get into /system/etc/keylayout, but obviously, you're gonna need root for that.
I'm having the same problem too.
can you please upload a link

The default connection via bluetooth using Playstation controllers doesnt work. Or it doesnt fully work at least. I have experienced it on my ps3 and PS4 controller. The only way a controller works is from a Bluetooth Controller made for Android. Or if you really want to use PS controller, you need an app called Sixaxis Controller.
If your phone is not rooted, the only way to do it is by using sixaxis and connect the PS controller directly via Wire. The sixaxis for the wired and wireless are different so dont buy it on the playstore right away
If you have rooted Access, then you can connect it wirelessly bia the sixaxis app.
Only then it will work as it should be.
The thing is, it actually works with my low-end tablet. So why not with this expensive phone?
Works fine with my Xbox One controller. Son uses it to play minecraft...

Actually, after September update, I just tried to controller again and it's perfectly working through bluetooth.
Xbox One controller works fine via bluetooth, buttons are already mapped.

I dont know what tablet it is but it might be a feature of the tablet. Ps4 controllers have D-Input mapping while android works natively with X-input controllers. Xbox controllers work right away as it works under X-Input
Sixaxis converts that input to a readable input for the android if youll use a ps4 controller.
Edit: good that you had it working.
