11pin samsung MHL connection. Using cyanogenmod 10 if it matters. I'm getting significant delay from whats going on in the phone compared to whats outputted on screen. I'm using some emulator games and a ps3 controller connected over bluetooth, and the lag is sufficient enough to make it hard to play. I'm sure the lag isn't a slow running game or the bluetooth connection because I can play the game with the bluetooth controller on the phone screen fine, but the MHL output is where I'm seeing the lag.
I've tested this on my 1080p computer monitor and it works fine, but on my toshiba 1080p TV, I get the lag there. I have read about other people with similar issues, but have not seen any resolution yet. I'm not sure where I should be looking for a resolution either, should it be something changed on the TV input settings perhaps, maybe something that the android ROM needs to control better, or maybe just bad samsung MHL hardware.
I'm doubting its just slow hdmi connection the TV since I have my game consoles hooked up and they play without issue. Wondering if anyone out there has found a solution to this issue.
Also as a side note, does anyone else notice the phone charges very slowly connected through the MHL usb plug, even if your screen is off, and no mirrored image is being displayed?
Hi, when playing NES games on the Note2, it usually runs fine
So I tried to use a wired USB gamepad (connected via OTG cable) and it works!
Problem is, whenever i actually press something, it becomes choppy, game runs slower etc.
Same happens for USB keyboard.
Any Ideas ?
Now I can't be the only one doing this so I am looking for some support.
I have an Xbox One and use my Ouya primarily for XBMC. I had the Ouya working through the pass through HDMI, but now it is struggling to keep the signal.
Anyone have any suggestions or solutions to make it consistently keep the signal?
I am still using amp restart trick to get passthrough working on ouya. If you find some other solution or configuration setting on your amp/tv/ouya post it.

Works great for me on my XBone. Have it running through a HDMI splitter that has the PS3 and Ouya both going through it. The Ouya is very passive regarding wanting to display, but as long as the PS3 is off it's been rock solid for me. Actually watching a TV show through XBMC on the Ouya through the XBone. For the voice controls. It's nice to be able to control the volume by talking.
I love the hdmi passthrough, and the multitasking. Playing titanfall and forza while watching tv is nice. So far i haven't had any issues, maybe the next ouya will have CEC and will work better with the xbox one.
Hey all,
So I got SNES9x EX+ sideloaded and booting up just fine. Loaded up some games and was playing away. Something felt off and I noticed that there is just a tiny bit of input lag from button press to game. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am using the Amazon game controller or whatever it's called, if that matters. Wasn't sure if this was a known issue, or do I need to edit/change anything?

I tried to use a Nyko playpad pro which from my understanding is the same as the fire controller. I noticed a lag with it, basically made most games unplayable. I switched to a xbox 360 controller using the usb receiver dongle and it is working superbly.

Excellent news, I'll give that a shot, thank you for the reply.
I've had inconsistent lag with a MOGA Bluetooth controller, both on my phone and on my FireTV stick. Sometimes it's spot on, but then other times the lag will get me killed. Old school gaming does not work well with any input lag. I'm glad I read this before buying the Amazon controller.
Now I wonder if I'll find a way to get the XBOX controller to work on the FireTV stick...

Yah it's kind of strange... Other games seem to work just fine with the controller (and I kind of like the controller). Mostly have played the Sev Zero seems to work just fine with no input lag, felt like just playing any other system, but SNES 9x EX+ or whatever just didn't work well with it.
Hoping to try out the Receiver + 360 controllers today and verify no input lag as someone had suggested.

I have an xbox360 controller with usb receiver and am getting about 1-2 second lag on keypress. I use the same controller and receiver on my pc and there's no lag. Both are official MS products. I found this thread because I was looking to see if the amazon controller showed similar lag with an snes emulator (Snes9x Ex+). Looks like OP is having the same issue I have with the FireTV controller, but it looks like you aren't having the problem with my same setup, unless you're using 3rd party.
Did you do anything special, or just plugged it in and all was well?
I have both the Nyko playpad and the Xbox 360 wireless receiever. I have noticed lag using both controllers (on most emulators). Playing around with the refresh rate settings in the emulator seemed to help some. Changing the refresh rate to 60 worked the best. Disabling any TV motion effect (120hz or greater) for your Fire TV input also helps, but I don' think the lag is completely eliminated. I'm interested to see if anyone else has ideas/input. It doesn't seem like a controller issue.

The 360 controller + receiver definitely improved for me over the Amazon game controller, but there is still a tiny bit.. I'll try messing around with some settings as well that were mentioned in this thread.
Super Mario World was way more playable though, with the 360 controller + receiver.

I did nothing special, just plugged it into my 4 port hub with 0 lag on NES, SNES, Genesis emu's. It is the official Microsoft wireless dongle, not sure if that matters

Interesting. My controller and dongle are both official microsoft products, but I don't have a hub. Is your hub powered? Also, what emulator? I'm mainly interested in SNES at the moment and am using SNES9x EX+
With my DS4 controller it will work beautifully for about 5 minutes then I would get massive input lag .. like minute delays making it absolutely useless .. it also makes my firetv remote useless .. as if the Bluetooth reciever is absolutely jammed up. I have to restart or disconnect controller and wait 5-10 minutes before I can use any bluetooth devices ... soo uhh if you have input lag maybe try a non bluetooth controller
Has anyone else experienced this?
Yep definitely lagging the system with the Xbox 360 dongle. I have to unplug the dongle to make the system stable again.
i have the same probleme here on Fire TV Stick with Bluetooth controller! Is there a workaround or any news??
Perhaps we could write a bugreport to amazon?
I also agree with esdouble, but the thinking of my way the RetroArch emulator is one of the best emulator.
I only came to this thread researching if the Amazon Fire TV controller was any better than my Stratus XL which constantly has input lag issues when playing SNES 9X on my Fire TV 3 Gen which I see is no better.
I'm using a powered usb hub firetv 2, only 1 wired 360 controller works at a time, same with ps4, but both work same time together, but everything controls player 1 on emulators? Any help please want to play wrestlefest on name and n64 games on mophen64 but all controllers, control player 1

I'm having a similar issue that both of my controllers are recognized the same on emulators. I have a BT Ouya and a Wireless Logitech F710. On FTV games they're both usable at the same time, but with emulators they give the same inputs.
