Question Issue with game controllers. - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

Hello, I have been having an issue with game controllers and my Fold 4. Phone is good in all regards except game controller connections. I have factory reset twice (with the most recent at the same time as UI 5.1 dropped). This whole time I assumed it was Bluetooth lag until I decided to try some testing just to realize it doesn't matter if it's wireless or wired directly into the phone. This issue happens most notably when I am pressing the facing buttons like Y, X, A, and B. I am not talking about mashing the buttons either just regular attack speed for a retro beat em up game. It leaves any game unplayable due to missed inputs. I tested this wired with 8Bitdo Pro 2 controller and a PS5 controller, they all act the same as the wireless Nacon MGX Pro.
Worst of all I just tested the Nacon MGX Pro wirelessly on an old Samsung Tablet S6 and it works just great. To think upgrading to this flagship phone when my last Note 21 ultra never had this problem.
I am attaching a video capture of the Nacon wirelessly connected and the Pro 2 Plugged in. I am pressing the buttons at the same tempo as the Right dpad button in the beginning.
Please I can use any help.

Hey !
I have the MGX Pro as well but don't have this issue.
I use it for xCloud mostly.

Update, I tried turning any and all accessibility options off and I noticed something interesting. An option called bounce keys was on, it's a delay from a second press of the same button. The phone just had a fresh factory wipe and this was enabled . Turned that off and other accessibility options and games where playable. I don't know if it was another option bug but I believe "bounce key" option was the culprit.

[SOLVED] [Q] SixAxis Controller & problems with CM11 toroplus?

Is anyone using the latest version of SixAxis Controller on their GNex with a Nightly of CM11 built in the last 2 or 3 months?
It was only after a long time after finally upgrading to CM11 that I noticed some weirdness that sort of makes SixAxis Controller unusable for me with a lot of things.
Basically, in Preferences, if I have either "Gamepad Settings > Enable Gamepad" or "Keyboard Emulation > Bypass IME" set, there is a -huge- delay between D-Pad/button presses, and them actually registering in anything...plus, the direction/button needs to actually be held down for a little over a second to actually register...or it needs to be rapidly tapped. If I just press and release something once, it never registers. The thing is, with Enable Gamepad checked, the analog sticks work as they should, with 0 delay or other weirdness.
If I leave both of those options unchecked (so it's just using the SixAxis IME to send keyboard keys and buttons), that works totally fine in everything I tried. The problem with that though is that there's no way to use the analog sticks that way to have them act like actual analog sticks...you can just have each direction mapped to send a key/button.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled the app...wiped the settings...reset the controller and re-paired it...tried a 2nd controller that I've used earlier with no problem...none of this has fixed it, and it still acts as described above
Well, after trying an X360 controller over OTG, and then serveral PC gamepads over OTG, I found out the problem wasn't just with the PS3 setup. I was getting the same weird button lag/need-to-hold behavior with -any- gamepad setup that wasn't piping keyboard keys through an IME.
So, I spent the day backing up, wiping, and flashing my Galaxy Nexus to see if the problem was ROM-level or what, and...the problem was gone...so I spent the rest of the day restoring, disabling, and tracking down just exactly what I had done to break it in the first place.
The problem ended up being: the 'Xposed Additions' module available for Xposed Framework. It has some hardware button-remapping functionality that seems to have been interfering with any sort of native gamepad button presses here, even though I wasn't using any of the remapping options.:silly:

Modern Combat 5 Blackout Sixaxis Profile

Here it is! This game hasn't been out for a week yet. You always have to be on WI-FI to play it even on single player.
Move to data\com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller\profiles It' doesn't matter whether it's on your SD card or phone storage.

Doesn't work the file is mt. Wtf?
This is the only way to map mc5. You need to set up two separate profiles for mc5 and set up a toggle to switch between the two during gameplay. Does work good but nowhere as good as mapping mc4. Bit it does work better than using native at this time unless Gameloft fixes it's problems then I might go back to native.

Why are the 2 profiles important?
I have 1 profile for the game and navigate menu with the mouse emulation in Six Axis app.
A bug I found is making a swipe on weapons icon (to switch weapons) makes the screen jitter slightly
like a centre screen swipe, its strange. Tried many ways to change swipe distance, button, no fix yet.
And could we set 2 profiles like this:
1 is the generic moga stye (too navigate through the games menu)
2 when in game, switch too the custom touch emulated profile. With select.
Will try this actually.
EDIT: tried this method in Sixaxis, every time i make the switch to profile 2 (touch emulation) I get a message (controller disconnected)
This is every time so I just left it.

How you reverse this process.
I want to use touch sometimes but i cant. Pleae tell me how you reverse this process since i want to use touch when i am outside usually.

Can you offer a run down on what I should do with my new 10.5?

So, I just found out my girl got me a Tab S 10.5 for Valentine's Day (best girlfriend EVER!).
She got me the SM-T800NTSEXAR, which is the 32GB version from Best Buy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-10-5-32gb-titanium-bronze/7093009.p
I am coming from an iPad, which I use to watch movies on, use Alien Blue to read Reddit, play light games on, and read comics and books. I plan to retire this iPad, and use suitable Android apps to replicate my use.
I also have a Note 4. for my everyday phone I will use DataSync to replicate my saved games that Google doesn't mirror automatically (I play mostly Arc: Redux, Sky Force, Zombie Gunship, and Galaxy On Fire 2 HD), MightySMS Tablet (to send SMS from my tablet to my phone), SideSync to actually view my phone screen, Google Books to read ebooks (I wish they allowed folders in that app), and MX Player to view my 1080p MKVs. Oh, and I am using Nova Prime as my launcher and Google Chrome Remote Desktop to RDP into my home server.
I purchased a 128GB microSD to save all the movies and comic (CBR) to (I still have to figure out which comic viewer to use, that allows you to read comics easily off external SD).
Lastly, I have to figure out what is the best method to wirelessly tether from my T-Mobile Note 4 (rooted and ROM'd) using my unlimited data plan, and not my tether plan.
What my question for you fine folk, is which ROM would you guys recommend to use off the bat for this model Tab S? I want to keep it TouchWiz so I don't lose any features like multiwindow, so no Cyangenmod.
Also, any apps or other suggestions you may have?
The rom I would recommend is Iron rom. It has all the touchwiz features and all that. Its smooth and way better than stock. It can also help with battery life (if you tweak the kernel).
Some apps I would suggest is titanium backup for backing up app data on your internal storage or sd card. Another app I would use is greenify. It can hibernate apps that open for no reason which can also save battery. Other than that, I dont know any other apps.
Enjoy your tablet!
Sidesync is a great addition for Samsung devices. I also have the Tab s 10.5 and Note 4 and use both all the time. Its nice to use the tablet to send and receive text messages when away from the phone, like in the kitchen, cooking.... I can only recommend the stock roms, and the newest one from Sam Mobile (T800 - firmwares) which is from Hong Kong (Most are multilingual) and its been the best one so far. I can idle this tablet for days or perhaps weeks and not lose crazy battery. Of course you'll need root (please, with the Knox warranty hardware repair fable...) since Samsung likes to improve the user experience by having dozens and dozens of applications running leading to the lag some mention.
Mine usually has like 5-6 apps running making the tablet insane with no lag and a beautiful screen. I'm using this thing like mission control! Its a remote, I have a Plex server so I can view and stream movies to my various devices around the house (Chromecasts, WD Lives, Samsung TVs), playing music and games, surfing the web, and an excellent book reader (check out Moon Reader Pro)... Oh also my shopping lists (Out of Milk) synced across devices when out in the field. Its a great tablet if you know what your doing with it, and take the time to tweak it a little. And Lollipop is coming soon......

Nice. I have a Plex server as well (I have 84TB in my server at my place), but will also copy movies to the external SD so I don't kill the battery.
How bad is the battery drain using SideSync? For the phone and the tablet?
Are you using the Note 4 as a wireless tether for LTE data when you are out? If yes, how bad is the battery drain? What software are you using for that tether?
Does Moon Reader Pro put books that are in a collection in 1 folder? Say I have a bunch of Tom Clancy books, can I put them in order in a folder? (this is one of the things Google Books doesnt allow you to do)
Thanks again.
Moon reader has a file manager so you can put them anywhere. I don't usually carry my tablet around outside, but I can tether from my Note 4 to the tablet if needed (Galaxy Tools v3.0.4). Sidesync creates a WiFi direct network between your phone and tablet so it can drain, but the phone takes a bigger hit then the tablet.
Also you'll never find a better case then the Samsung Tab S Book Cover (You can find a deal on them from time to time)... I've had many tablets with various cases and none were even close... Its nicely textured, closes completely, has 3 different angles, and access to all ports and buttons, without much additional weight.

Give Reddit News a try. It is about the best Reddit app for tablets.
Earth&Moon Pro is a cool 3D live wallpaper. I usually get a "wow" when people see it.

I have Reddit is fun, Reddit News, Reddit Now, Reddot Sync, Red Reader Beta, Bacon Reader, Flow, and Pro Reader for Reddit all on my phone. Still haven't picked a favorite yet... Need to get used to something different after spending thousands of (wasted) hours on Alien Blue on my iPad.
As for wallpapers, I have Tornado 3D on my Note 4.. I can't wait to see it on my tablet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxelus.tornadolivewallpaper&hl=en
But I will try Earth&Moon as well as Reddit News. Thanks!
LOVING the tablet. So much faster than my iPad 4.. Screen is crisp... music sounds louder (due to the 2 side speakers).. and soo much lighter.
As of right now, I am using stock ROM and Reddit News for Reddit. My girl is spending the weekend, so no time to nerd out and root and get my tablet totally customized.
One issue though, is the soft keys. When viewing Reddit or on websites, we always use it portrait style.. Every time my girl uses it, she hits the soft keys with her finger. Because of this she has decided she does not like the tablet (which is great as this means she wont keep grabbing it out of my hands..lol).. but this is an issue.
I saw this for disabling the softkeys and using on screen keys http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-disable-softkeys-enable-navbar-root-t2803900 But I am hoping someone has figured on how to disable the keys when it is portrait and re-enable when it is landscape, which makes a lot more sense.

Rooted and installed IronRom last night.. then used Titanium to restore apps and data from my phone to my tablet. It is working GREAT.
One thing I should mention, is that I thought the wifi in my apartment sucked because of my iPad low wireless speed. In my bedroom, I would only get 1MB-2MB of speed., so I installed a repeater, and only got 10MB-20MB using that. Now with this tablet, I consistently get 20MB speed WITHOUT using the repeater. My 1750AC wireless router just arrived today, and I can't wait to see the speed I get with that.
One more question.. I've had two "crashes" so far. Once when closing tabs on Samsung Web Browser and once when closing a game. The screen just hung for 1-2 minutes (with the game, the game play sound kept going). I tried hitting the menu key, the power key, etc but nothing happened. Finally after the 1-2 min, the screen and menu's would pop up really fast as they finally caught up to my button mashing. I was playing the game during a break and when an associate came by, i hit the home button to get out of the game, and the fact that the sound kept playing, and I couldnt kill it, was not great.. and I couldnt lower the sound volume either. Is there a control-alt-del similar button sequence on this tablet so I can kill anything running?

Hold Power,home,volume up and down buttons at the same time for about 20 seconds. Then it should force a reboot and not run the game.

Did you do a clean flash or dirty flash?
Comic rack hands down best comic viewer and also get MxPlayerPro to replace the stock movie viewer. You can thank me later

I did a clean flash.
The tablet is running amazing. Only having 3 issues.
1.) The keyboard that came with Iron Rom from the Note Pro, when typing in emails, would not show suggested words, and auto suggest itself the wrong words constantly. I fixed this by installing Google keyboard.
2.) I set the tablet to use my AC wifi in my house. Using SpeedTest.net app, I successfully tested my speed to hit 150Mb/150Mb (the max of my Verizon FIOS speed). But for some reason (and of course when I was showing it off to a friend), when I tested it, the max speed I could achieve was 20/20. I disabled the 2.4Ghz and made sure the 5.8Ghz was the only one on, changed the channel, etc.. nothing worked. Only when I rebooted the tablet, did I have no issue. This has so far not repeated, but I am not continuously testing my network speed either.
3.) I've had another freeze up. Doing the vol up/down menu and power button reset the tablet. This is the third time this happened.. At first it gets really slow.. my animated wallpaper slows to a crawl or completely stops, and then the buttons stop working. I've installed a CPU task monitor app so I can see what is eating the CPU at that moment as well as a catlog app so I can log it. I have a LOT of apps installed (that I Titaniumed over from my Note 4), so this could be the fault of one of the apps and not the ROM or hardware of the Tab S.
Even with the 3 issues above, I consider this tablet 5 stars and think it is MUCH better than the iPad it replaced. I will try and make a video later of what I can do with it, especially against the iPad. The ONLY concern I have is if Samsung announces their new tablet on March 1st, so I am keeping the receipt in case of that.

Don't click on anything in the settings app. The default is bluetooth on. I used the other/upper toggle and remote control would no stopped working. Thought FS was bricked.
Search for other bluetooth devices, I held the FN and F1 keys, and selected with the stock remote. Worked on 2 different FS. The pointer arrow is a small circle.

You can even have a volume control where Firestick has none.
on the firestick i had it searching for bluetooth devices, on the controller i pressed fn and f1 and had the blue light blinking. the stick never found the device. i bought two of these for two different firesticks and neither one works.... is this not a bluetooth controller? 2.4g i thought was.
try turning USB debugging off.

I believe I am probably having the same problem with an iPazzPort KP-810-30P keyboard for the fire stick I am trying to use. I install the settings.apk
easily enough but when I am actually in settings, anything I select forces the app to crash. I read somewhere that resetting the fire stick to factory
settings would get it to work but it hasn't. Is there some reason the settings app keeps crashing? All the videos and help I see are from 2 years ago,
so is there some type of conflict with the newest fire stick that won't allow this app to work?

Question Android Auto

Is Android Auto working for anyone? No matter if I connect it to my car or use wireless AA, it starts and disconnects right away and just keeps doing that over and over. I haven't been able to get it to work with anything I found online with past Samsung phones that had connection issues. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Same issue here with my 2019 volvo xc60. Car briefly shows it's going to connect then says "reconnect device". Phone will display the initial setup screen but when you hit next it flickers something and vanishes. Using cable.
All updates installed...
Working just fine in my iX3 wireless. Not tried wired, but then never do. I am running 8.x.x beta though, might be worth trying that
Found The beta and sideloaded the update. No luck, same problem.
This really sucks.
Broken here too. I'm using a JVC head unit in my truck. Works great with my S22 Ultra, Z Fold3 and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
I've tried everything under the sun. No luck. Even reset network connections in case it was a corruption from migration.
Same here, 2021 Tacoma. Fold 2 worked just fine, now nothing.
AA desperately needs an update in general.
iOS carplay is so much better.
BUT! Not working at all is very, very bad.
Early users also reporting July security patch too so perhaps an update is in order. They usually smooth out new devices (aka shakedown) after a few months so fingers crossed.
Just rec'd my G4F today, and also nada for me in my 2015 Mazda 3.
G3F works like a charm. This sucks.
How the fck could Samsung deliver a phone that has broken aa? WTF
Also broken on both my kenwood radios. fold 2 still working like a champ
No issue in france with my peugeot 208
Kia Sportage no issues....
No issue on e208
It's like the AA crashes before it finishes authorizing the permissions for the vehicle. I may try getting everything set up to pull ADB logs this afternoon and see if there's any clues there.
Solved it!
I went into apps, Android Auto, cleared cache + data (again) then I went to the battery option for Android Auto and set it to "Unrestricted". I'd already gone under the central battery options and set it to never sleep for Android Auto previously but that alone didn't do it.
Paired perfectly on next connection. After that I just paired it with my wireless AA dongle and everything is fine with the world again.
AA working fine with my GF4 + 2022 BMW M3.

Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that it worked for me. I was having the same issue. I have a 2020 Hyundai Palisade with the new Fold 4.. Thanks for posting the solution!!!!
Dave
I can confirm that resetting caches and data for Play Services a Play Store did the trick. Also AAWireless is working now.
I was going to reply and tell you all that if you have uploaded apps from the old phone you had to the new Z Fold 4 , there will be some apps that will require a clean start and date and cache probably will require it, especially AA. Getting my phone today (FedEx say it is on the truck to be delivered) and here is my part I am re-thinking the wireless AA.. I drive an Audi A6 with an after market module for Car Play and AA.. That worked fine with my S20+ so far. The screen in the car is not a touch screen , 8.5" lower resolution than the fold 4. I got the new car Qi mount for the fold 4 installed last night and it looks , even with the S20+ much more crisp and clean, not to mention a touch screen. I bet when the Z Fold 4 arrives today and I will have it placed in the mount open, the 950NIT , hi-res , will make my car screen look bad even more.. I truly think of removing AA from my phone, not connecting to the car although I can, connect only Bluetooth to have Spotify/phone use the speakers, and turn off the car's screen.. For less than $50 good car mount, WHY would I need AA? Controlling from the steering wheel ? Meh, I use Google Voice anyways.. Your thoughts, as Z Fold 4 7.6" hi res screen owners? I'll share my comparison between the two options after 2-3 days of driving around with an open phone, vs. Car screen..
