Anyone try out a ps4 controller via bluetooth yet? - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Trying to pair a PS4 controller through Bluetooth and it's not working on my note 10 plus. It pairs fine but the phone seems to receive no input from it. Trying to unpair the controller hangs and never finished disconnecting. If I turn off the controller, the phone still thinks it's connected. Turning off Bluetooth takes a minute or so as well.
It works perfectly fine on my wife's s10 plus, and after it failed to work on my note 10 I tried pairing it with my note 8 for the first time and it also worked perfectly. I was really looking forward to using Samsung Dex with my living room TV and the PS4 controller to play emulated games.
Hoping this is a software issue that can be fixed and not a bug with the Bluetooth radio on my phone. My gear fit 2 paired fine and works great as far as I can tell. My headphones work fine through bluetooth and so does the bluetooth/aux adapter in my car. So it leads me to believe it could be software issues. The controller works fine on everything else.
I checked for updates and there was an Android update from Verizon but it did not fix the issue.
Also the controller works if I hook it up to USB via the USB C adapter included with the phone but the input is all wonky. Shoulder buttons are start and select, up is triangle, etc. I know there's ways to alter the input to fix that but it works perfectly by default on bluetooth on my other two Samsung phones.

paring a BT headset w/ other devices...

I've got a Jabra BT8010, and it works great with my Moto Q9c...haven't had a problem yet.
However, I've encountered a few anomalies pairing it with my PC and PS3.
I've got the BlueSoleil BT device on my computer, and as long as the headset does not have the computer in memory as a paired device, then it will connect fine, and all works well.
However, if the computer has already paired with the headset, then when it attempts to connect by "calling" the headset, the headset can't "answer" the call...so it keep vibrating and ringing until you stop trying to connect to it w/ the PC.
Connecting it w/ the PS3 yields a different issue...it will connect fine, even if it's been previously paired and connected, but it can never seem to keep the connection, and the "audio devices setup" within the PS3 shows no mic activity while connected, and usually causes the connection to drop.
I've read in quite a few places that people have had no problems with the BT8010 for pairing with a PC or a PS3
The only thing I can come up with is that either the BT8010 firmware version I have doesn't work with the PS3, or the new firmware in the 80GB PS3 doesn't work w/ the BT8010
this is very frustrating...
well I just figured this out....
DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PLUGGED INTO THE USB PORT.
I was charging a controller on the PS3, and as soon as I unplugged it, the headset worked fine, doesn't drop connection, and is being recognized as the audio input device, NICE.

[Q] Xbox 360 controller with OTG cable not working correctly

Hi, I've got a V500 which I installed infecteds cm11 build, I've since bought an OTG cable and tried to plug in my 360 controller, but I'm having some issues, I downloaded a gamepad testing app and it seems like the button presses are registering, but it's not registering the releases. Is anyone else having this issue or could it just be my cable/controller/tablet?
I just tried with a brand new wireless 360 controller with the adapter and with that controller only the right bumper sticks. This seems like a really strange issue. Is there anyway I can find out what's causing it?
Hi chris
Nice to see I'm not alone with this issue as well.
As far as I've tested, whenever we press the A,B,X,Y,R1,L1 buttons they don't register the releases.
I've tried many different things, such as changing the keyboard layout for the controllers, and even making my own. Not successful though.
Well, I've managed to "bypass" this problem by configuring the gamepad keys on the games (the ones that we can configure, of course) to don't use these buttons I listed.
I changed the A,B,X,Y to the right analog stick, and the R1,L1 buttons to the R2,L2 Triggers (which are analogic).
Then the controller may work flawlessly.
Nice to know I'm not the only one to experience this issue. Weirdly I can use my 360 controller to navigate around the android interface, but struggle to get it to do anything when it comes to using it in game.
has anyone managed to get this to work?
I've tried the same cable with the same pad on my nexus 5 and it works perfectly, so there is something wrong with the USB driver.
All I want to do is play ps1 games on my tablet.

Bluetooth controller connected, but no input

Hey all, so I'm trying to use a Dualshock 4 as an input device via bluetooth. It connects fine, but there's absolutely no input - a whole lot of nothing happens when pressing any buttons. The controller works fine when connected to my Moto X Play, but for some reason the Pixel ain't happy with it. Anyone else experienced this before and have any solution?
Cheers!

The 2022 Bluetooth Blues!

Firstly, an enormous thank you to all the amazing Devs that are still building ROMS for this old (but great!) tablet! Your work and expertise are greatly appreciated!
I've acquired a Nexus 7 2013 Flo 16gb. I wanted to tether WiFi from my Samsung S9 phone via Hotspot and use this tablet for Sat Nav and music etc in my car, a 2011 Ford Grand C-Max. It isn't permanently mounted, just with magnets on the dashboard so I can use it for other things when I'm not driving.
Using the N7's Bluetooth, I can see "Ford Audio" and get a PIN to use displayed on the cars LCD screen when I tap "connect". Everything works fine until I leave the car and take the tablet with me...
The next time I get in the car, the tablet will still see Ford Audio, and the car still lists the N7 as remembered device, but it absolutely will not connect to it again.
If I try to connect using the car's aux button, it'll say "Activating BT Device" for around 30 seconds and then shows "Activation Failed".
If I tap connect on the N7, sometimes it says "connected for a split second and then disappears again as if I never tried to connect.
The only way to get them connected again is to fully debond the N7 from the car, then reconnect from the tablet by entering a PIN number again.
My Samsung Galaxy S9 phone, (and my old Samsung Note 3 phone) doesn't have this problem. I pair the phone once with a PIN, play music with no problems, leave the car, come back, press the Aux button and it immediately picks up Spotify from where I left off. It also displays the name of the song being played and the amount of time the track has been playing, this doesn't happen at all with the Nexus tablet.
I've tried removing all Bluetooth devices from the car, changing the display name of the N7 tablet, 3 new ROMS (Lineage 19, Resurrection Remix Q and RR Pie.) It did this on Stock so thought using a more modern custom ROM would fix this strange problem but 3 ROMs later it's still happening.
I've Googled, and read on XDA, seems a lot of people had Bluetooth problems with this tablet back in the day, but that was on Android 4.4.2... But I'm still feeling this on Androids 6, 9, 10 and 12 so far, was there really never a fix found for Bluetooth problems on this device?
Does anyone have any ideas of what may be going wrong? Or any trouble shooting steps to advise? It's too much fuss to remove and re-pair the tablet every time I leave the car so any help would be appreciated please!
I can now add LineageOS 14.1 (Android7) with the ElementalX kernal to the list.
It does the exact same thing as the other Roms, pairs and connects perfectly the 1st time... After that it stays paired but doesn't connect.
If music/Spotify is already playing on the N7 and I click to connect to Ford Audio in the bluetooth settings, the music will be played on the car speakers for around 2 seconds and then stop, and then start again for another second... And then be gone forever! So bizarre.
The only way around this I can see is to buy an Aux > Bluetooth adapter from Amazon, pair the N7 to it and use the Aux channel for Audio out from the tablet over bluetooth. But I'd lose the ability to skip tracks with the steering wheel controls.
Until recently I had a N7 (2013) as my nav tablet in my vehicle. It was running Lineage.
I didn't have it paired to my stereo system, but it was paired to my steering wheel controls.
I didn't take it in or out, so that simplified things. It had a battery-ectomy and ran on a 4V regulator.
I ended up replacing it with a Walmart Onn 8" $70 tablet.
The Bluetooth spec is 3700 pages so it's doubtful that anyone has ever implemented it correctly.

Question Audio not routing to Bluetooth earbuds

Anyone having issues with audio not routing to Bluetooth earbuds? Only fix for me so far is to reboot the phone. But the issues comes back later or the next day.
It's strange too, I'll have issue with the galaxy buds pro not working for audio or phone calls but I switch to the Sony XM4 and it works for audio but not for calls. Reboot and both works again. I've tried unpairing and resetting Bluetooth and also the earbuds but nothing works except reboot of phone.
Network reset and try clearing the system cache.
Try swiping down once then hit media output and selecting the Bluetooth device there
not sure if these will help as well but these were the solutions i have done when i had bt issues. these are not in order by the way, but alternative solutions
1) clear the bt cache. unpair then pair again
2) i installed bluetooth audio widget
3) i once bought a jam loud buds from jb hi fi. it would drop out or it wouldn't connect at all to my fold. turns out it was still paired to my old samsung note 9. had to delete that pairing and it finally worked with the fold. didn't know some devices only paired with a phone once
4) bt version. i had an old bt remote used by my daughter. it paired with the fold but did not work. did some reading and the bt version of the remote could be the cause
5) above posts from blackhawk and sonin66

Buds+ software and firmware* have given me a lot of trouble. A real pain. I'm running two N10+ N975U/N975U1's one on Pie the latter on 10.
These are the apps I load but they may not work on 11 or higher, don't know... In any case uninstalling then reinstalling may fix your issue if the network reset fails too. Firewall block "Apps (UID)10343" and Wearables Installation Manager. Keep them blocked or they will update... and you'll be repeating the process.
For all these apps they must have all their permissions enabled to open!!!
*if you have a pair of Buds+ do not upgrade their firmware! It trashed the sound in my one pair. Now they need reflashed...

done this, and the correct device was selected but no audio. Sometimes music audio works fine but not calls
Idk if this happens for you guys but I went to a sony showroom today and when I paired my mobiles with some soundbar units like sony HT-S40R, HT-G700 and HT-S500F and some other models soundbar all of them got this weird issue, we can hear the music but every 2 or 3 sec it feels like it stops and then resume ( on the music player app it's working normally) I though maybe because of my spotify app I tried Youtube, youtube music amd amp all of them gives the same weird results ... This was before rooting my phone ... Ofc after rooting it it's stil the same issue (Android 12 and 13) hopefully this happened with those specefics models and not with my earphones or headphones bluetooth
Also note my S21 ultra works perfectly with the models said above
