I was wondering if anyone had managed to use their WM device as a bluetooth keyboard for the Playstation 3?

Awsome find...I will buy it (it's on sale) and give it a try tonight. I was about to buy a thumb keyboard today that connects to the controller but then thought I would wait and see i something for the phone exists. I have a Touch Pro 2 and the physical keyboard will work great for this.
EDIT:
So I went ahead and did the free trial since my phone was not listed as a supported phone on their website and it did not work. The app stays searcing for a device to connect to and never finds the playstation.

Playstation 3 control for android

Is there a ps3 control for android, similar to the wiimote one.
Sent from my rooted x10a using XDA app
I would also like to know if its possible
The developer of the Wiimote application, pikipirs, said that he will try to work on it. However there seems to be a few difficulties though I trust he will come through. It's all mentioned in his Wiimote thread which I can't seem to link to since I'm a new user.
Mm what i mean is use my android as a remote for the ps3 sorry for the confusion...

Add my "me too!" to the list=]
Don't know if this is what you guys are looking for exactly (I don't have a ps3) but try and app called "Pocket Blu" at least it gives you full control while watching Blu-ray discs.
Here's a video of some guy on youtube demonstrating it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6sCBu4elag
I'd much rather get my PS3 controller working for my PSX Emulator on my phone lol...
Add my vote too... It'd be great if someone could make an app to use the phone as a bluetooth keyboard/remote for the PS3... there is an app out there but it only works with certain blurays/bluray players apparently, not the PS3.... this would be a huge help in naming files/browsing the web/writing messages. As a previous poster said, I'd much rather pay 5-10 bucks on the market than spend 50-100+ on some huge bulky keyboard....

PocketBlu only works with a select few Pocket Blu-enabled Blu-ray discs, all of which are titles released by Universal (none of the the other studios are supporting this feature, yet). I believe all new and future Universal titles will include the Pocket Blu feature. It is a cool, but gimmicky, feature that works flawlessly and is as quick as the native remote control(s) for my players.
I actually bought the PS3 keypad attachment. It's overpriced and awkward to use. LOL
Add me to the list.
Someone could make a lot of money i feel. I would happily pay 5-10 bucks to use my Dualshock 3 on my EVO. I know someone can do it!!!
Open remote play
there is a project called open remote play which reverse engineered the remote play feature for sony vaio. Somebody could use that code if they wanted to try to make an app. (no linking but it's hosted on google code, you can search it)
Also Mobile SRC for windows mobile was an interesting idea: turns the phone into a bluetooth keyboard, which can be used to control the ps3
www(DOT)mobilesrc(dot)com(Slash)mobileremote(dot)aspx
Ive been dreaming of an app that turns the phone into a bluetooth keyboard.
I already have a doongle ready hehe
via Legend using xda-app
Yeah, any generic bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard will work with PS3. So if an app could let the phone work as a bluetooth keyboard, that would work, it wouldn't need to be PS3 specific.
Also, being able to use a PS3 controller as the input device on my phone while using emulators would be TOO amazing! This is what I'm really hoping for

[Q] Compatible BT Control Pad

I'm on the hunt for compatible bluetooth control pads for the samsung galaxy s. I used to have one for my old i900 and worked a treat (can't recall the name of the pad), but had heard wiimote and other bluetooth controllers will not work with new samsung widget devices and htc sense phones.
Does anyone know one which will work as touch screen gaming is a bit poo
Hoping this is not a re-post
Zeemote works, even on 2.1 firmwares, but you have to buy the GamePro drivers. Here is it in action - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8y5Z_Xc7fI
On 2.2 firmwares bluetooth HID profile support is added for BT keyboards/mice, but sadly WiiMotes are still a no-go.
If your old one is a HID profile device it may well work on 2.2 firmwares.
Cheers, shall look into zeemotes. My old unit was the samsung i900 (windows mobile), and i regret selling with the pad as it looks like was compatible with gamepro. Still zeemotes seem pretty cheap so will definitely try these out.
Okay, remembered the one i had with my samsung omnia i900. It was the MSI BGP-100. This would be more ideal for me to have again as of the extra buttons (three seems a bit short on the zeemote), and originally cost me around £10 including delivery. I've noticed that since the time i had it this pad has become discontinued and i can only find a few sellers but they want £90 for it (seriously WTF! ).
So my second question is does anyone know wnywhere that still has stock of the MSI BPG-100 and selling at a reasonable price and will ship to UK or does anyone know of an equivalent that has more than three buttons?

The little Bluetooth keyboards work as game controllers with Froyo, if the game app can remap keys. I've used one with Gameboid. It's not as good as a dedicated gamepad but you get used to it.
@ DotMpeg - Yes that's the MSI pad. If you can find anywhere that sells them at a semi sensible cost and has stock please let me know. Dealextreme along all other sites i have found that still have them listed do not have stock...
@ TheBeano - Sadly not running froyo yet as the UK network providers have not released their versions quite yet (due anytime now), but when they do i'll certainly be looking into these if i still can't get hold of the old MSI pad. Either that or the temptation to debrand will grow

not used it though
Excellent find and not a bad price I'll see what i can find out about these and report back anything for other users.
Looks like the RC-100 cannot be used as a phone gamepad. Got the below message direct from manufacturer;
"The RC-100 is not a Zeemote. The RC-100 is a remote control that works over the Zigbee wireless protocol (not Bluetooth) designed to work with our line of Bioloid Humanoid Robots.
It was not designed to work with cellular phones and therefore I believe it will not serve your purpose of using it with your phone or pad."
The hunt continues...
Hunt will be over soon with CM 6.1 coming! Then we can just use our Datel Retro Wireless controllers and WiiMotes...
CM 6.1? Sounds promosing, tell me more please
I didn't read the thread properly, sorry for that. I really like the way you can wear it as a watch. It has a real screen in comparison with other bluetooth watches...

Cyanogenmod ROM 6.1, it will have a bluetooth implementation that works with WiiMotes etc.
@ hiraj_panosian - no problem. It looks nice but i can't understand why anyone would be that lazy to pull the phone outta their pocket?
@ NZtechfreak - Should have realised that CM was Cyanogen Mod Do You know if they are actually making this as a stable ROM as at present they have done nothing but experimental ones for the i9000.
Its not yet stable, they've made a lot of progress though.

[Q] Question about the coby 7015 tablet

I bought one of these for my son for christmas. Dont laugh at it being coby. It is probably the best built product they have ever made. (i know not saying much but still its pretty damn solid). My question is i would like to install snesoid on it so he can play his games. But i would like to be able to use a controller to make it easier to play for him. Would the power A controller work. I know the coby will read a usb keyboard, but dont know if the powera controller acts as a usb keyboard. Any thoughts. I would post a link to the controller but not allowed yet. If you go to power A . c o m its the one under ps3 that has the slide out keyboard. Thanks!!!
Partly answered my own question in the last couple of days. Installed snesoid and it runs very well. Hooked up a keyboard and was able to map the keys, so lack of multitouch is no longer a problem in the games. Can anyone confirm a usb controller working with this or is it only a keyboard. Buying one today but if someone knew that a paticuler brand worked well it would help me thanks!!

Wiimote compatible?

Can anyone test to see if this works on the G2x? I would like to know as I would like to be able to use other controllers besides touch screen.
I would test myself but I don't currently have this phone but thinking on getting it.

Downloading it now.
Emulators + HDMI mirroring is one of the big reasons I got this phone.
Well, we know the O2x doesn't support it. I wouldnt be surprised if the bluetooth stack is similarly boned on the G2x, despite stock android.
Even if the G2x doesnt support it out of the box, there may be hope that cyanogen will support it in the future.

Nope just tested. Says it can't find Bluetooth and to make sure it is enabled... which it is.
First drivers needed to access the SD card, then no WiiMote.... damn...

Thank you for taking the time to test it though sad to hear it doesn't support it.
yeah those two issues are quite disappointing. maybe cyanogen can fix them :S
i'm thinking i will just stick with my n1 for now
I'd like to add the JS1 Zeemote also is not working. I had it working on N1. The Bluetooth connects but when I exit bluetooth settings it disconnects. I'm also using Bluezime so android can detect Bluetooth controller

Doesn't work for me either. This is highly upsetting to say the least. One of the biggest things I wanted to do with this phone was play Super Mario World hacks through HDMI with a wiimote. Oh well, phone is still a keeper easy. Hope it gets fixed.
Hey did anyone ever get a PS3 controller working with the N1?
zeemote works fine for me.
but i also can't connect to a wiimote.
where can u buy the Zeemote for g2x ?
the only one i can find is for the Nokia
so the prices are all over the place
can u tell me where u bought one and what the price was ?

the nokia version works fine if you have bluez ime

Awesome the 10 dollar one
Next question
does anyone know if the Wii remote problem is a hardware or software issue ?
because if it is software (Drivers) now that LG released all the source codes for this device, to should be easy for a developer to fix.
assuming we get any other developers then that CM7 dude to buy this phone
BUT CM7 and zeemote might be enough
it's because several phones(mostly touchwiz/sense phones, and LG phones) use non-standard bluetooth drivers.
replacing those with standard ones would fix it, but it's not as easy as switching a few files.

I can't find a $10 Zeemote on Amazon. How did you find it? I can only find a $10 article about the Zeemote from Tele-Service News. I sure hope you didn't accidentally buy that.
amazon uk has one for that price, but i don't know if they ship to the US(for a reasonable price)
How would you use this for a emulator their is only like 3 buttons on it

Game controller Gamepad for Nexus Player

Not sure if anyone else went this route, but I decided to pickup the Gamepad for Nexus Player TV video game controller https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Gamepad_for_Nexus_Player?id=nexus_player_gamepad&hl=en and can confirm it works very well with android games with controller support on the Nexus 9. Its made by ASUS and seems to be a very nice quality controller. I have yet to try it with any emulators yet though.

Yes, I too picked up an Nexus Player Gamepad. My initial thought was hey, it's Bluetooth so it should work! And it did, now I don't need to fuss around with my PS3 controller Though I'm a little disappointed it cant pair with my Nexus 5.
With ppsspp it works great, all the buttons auto map to the emulator.
Great to hear
I ordered one speclatively, but it's great to know it wil work so well
Cheers

Will the Shield Gamepad work too?
So I bought a cheapo and I've managed to break it and it would not hook up to the pc before it died.
So in all I'm looking for more of a full proof package. Shield or Nexus Player gamepad. I'd like it too to work with my pc, this doesnt have to be wireless... Thanks for any replies.
Has nayone tested this with any emulators yet, does it work well?

Has someone managed to make a Xbox One gamepad work on Nexus 9 ? I don't know how to do, it works on my Xperia Z2 with KK but on Lollipop it seems it doesn't.
I have the Nyko Play Pad Pro. I bought it for the Nexus Player, but it works with everything. Last I saw they are like $13 at Gamestop.

I just bought this a few minutes ago. Really looking forward to getting this controller! Looks to be a great investment.
Does this pad work on any android phones or Nexus only?
And can it be used on any games/emus?
Works on emus also?
