[REQUEST] Pair PS3 Controller with Incredible

Seeing as this has already been done with the Wiimote it seems entirely possible. I would love to be able to use a PS3 controller on PSX4DROID =)

XBOX 360 Controller + ASUS

XBOX 360 Controllers + USB TYPE A FEMALE 2 FEMALE ... Not working ... Anyone else having issues with there XBOX360 controller Thanks.

what controller?
obviously using a wired controller? or are you using standard controller with the usb charging cable? did you try and OG xbox controller?

Maybe you need a usb 3 adaptor to get it working, just like for charging.

I'd be interested to see if works through the dock to see if its a driver issue or an issue using an adapter through the charging cable. Does the charge port output any power?
Are the lights on the controller on or off?

Wait... this is still not clear from your answers. Are you using:
A) Wireless X360 controller attached to USB via the Plug and Play charge kit
B) Wired X360 controller
If you are using A, you cannot communicate to the device via the USB connection. That is for charging only. No control signals can pass to the controller using that connection.
If you are using B there should be no cable to replace since the wired controller is hardwired.

to my understanding, only a true wired 360 controller will work. the wireless through plug and play or windows dongle will not work. i can attest to that as i've tried both with no luck.

The windows wireless dongle works on rhe xoom. I don't see why it doesn't work on my asus

I have the true wired controller and used that female adapter from amazon and it didn't work at all.

I have a wired Xbox360 controller and it doesn't work on the TF101.
I have the keyboard dock and 3.1.
When plugged in, the green lights flash but it's not picked up in any apps as an input method.
I think the 360 support may be broken.

+1 My wired 360 controller does not work when plugged into my dock with 3.1. However, my PS3 controller with attached usb cable does work

i have tried 2 generic usb contols from GAME, both light up and are powered, but neither show any input in any apps or games.
has anyone here got any game control to work yet?

this is a bug with the transformer
wired 360 controllers work with the xoom. this is an asus bug.
please report it to asus by calling them:
http://service.asus.com/callus.html
or emailing them:
http://vip.asus.com/eservice/techserv.aspx
as of now they're not even acknowledging this. the only way to get it fixed is to get it some visibility by reporting it.

You need to make sure your using a keybiard dock and are running updated stock asus firmware/Rom and the xbox controller is fully wired, the detatchable usb charging wire is only for charging, my wired madcatz controller will work natively while my wireless controller pluged in with the usb cable will not

Game Controllers

What are you guys and gals using as far as gaming controllers. I have a PS3 and Xbox One controller at home. Just wondering if either can be easily used with the Tab S. Just purchased Modern Combat 5. So far I've played it on the G3 and Nvidia Shield.

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?

Finally figured it out...just in time for my trip!
I ended up buying the Red Samurai controller from Gamestop for $15.
I am able to connect and use with retroarch. Just needed to install the free app, Bluez IME. Takes a bit of configuring but once it's set, the controller works flawlessly.
The app and retroarch even has a reconfigured profile for the controller.

Great suggestion. I'm thinking buy the Moga Pro but this is cheaper and it is more similar with PS controller.
Can you tell me if you can play in emulators such as the PSP emulator?

Has anyone tried an original xbox wireless controller with the receiver connected to the usb (via adapter)? The receiver seems to has power,
but the controller wont connect. PS3 controller works though.

my xbox controller doesnt work, as others have said. so how would I go about getting a ps3 controller to work? is it a wired one and can i pick up any cheap ps3 controller?

The sixaxis app does recognize my ps3 controller (afaik there are only wireless with optional cable), but only with cable plugged in. Bluetooth does not work, though the controller
has the right master adress.
Ok the problem seems to be the pairing. If paired from the tablet, it wont work... if paired from the pc, it works.

see I know sod all about the ps3 pad, I dont even know what pairing on the PC means or how you would set it up...

Hello!
Did anyone connect SteelSeries Free controller to the Tab S? I'm thinking about getting one and I would like to make sure that it will work.

Trying to pair red samurai wireless tablet controller with my tab s
the bluetooth can see the device, but when i select it to pair the device with my tablet, it asks me to confirm the PIN code for the device, which is displayed when i select to pair. But it fails to pair every time because I don't see any dialog box or anything pop up to enter the PIN code to pair successfully.

red samurai controller (GameStop)
Using the red samurai controller with all playstore emulators works well but with a little lag between button press and action.
BTW GameStop has it for 8 bucks and the tab recognizes it via Bluetooth no problem

The PS3 controller is the best way to go for me...
I bought the red samurai for $8 also just to play emulators..
The controller paid with no problems and I was able to map all the keys but the lag from button press to In game action was unbareable
The PS3 was fussy to set up but it's more 1to1 responsive..

If you are using the red samurai v2 you do not need blue imz, it should just work.. or at least it does for me. I also have not noticed any input lag even vs a usb controller I was using over usb otg until I decided I wanted to be able to charge and use a controller at the same time. I have also used the same red samurai v2 on my win 8.1 htpc just for testinf and it paired right away and worked with near 0 input lag.

Im just using sixaxis controller

Actually from what I know all of the Moga besides the Pocket one should work. As long as it has the Mode B.

Does anyone know how to put the playpad pro controller into player no 2? When i connect two controllers with bluetooth they both control player 1. The manual doesnt say how to switch to player two, nor could i find anything about it online.

i havent tested two controllers on the nvdia shield tablet but i had the same issue on my FireTV, you have to purchase an official controller so it can be read as the second controller correctly.

I'm using the Moga Pocket, it works well. Tested on Dead Trigger 2 and various racing games, will test on Trine 2, and other Nvidia Controller enhanced games later when I get off work.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. OUYA controller works just fine; confirmed by me
It just doesn't work out of the box, you have to have root and the attached file to the keylayouts folder. Don't forget to change permissions to rw-r--r--
The only problem is that there is no start button. May be someone can manipulate the file into making the big U button press start.

I've given in an ordered the Nvidia controller.
OK been using sixaxis app and ps3 controller with some success, although come across some issues. Half Life 2 seems to work but its a bit odd. The D pad works fine to select in the main menu but not in the sub menus, also the other problem is there appears to be no way of changing weapons which is an issue after picking up a gun there's no way of getting through wood blocking door ways. Anyone got a fix?

I stand corrected, thank you ahmadshawki.
1.) Root Device, Install Root Explorer
2.) Download Vendor_2836_Product_0001.kl
3.) place Vendor_2836_Product_0001.kl in /system/usr/keylayout/ in Nvidia Shield
4.) set permissions on kl to rw-r--r--
5.) Reboot Shield Tablet, needed for kl file to take affect.
6.) Put Ouya Controller in pair mode and pair with tablet
7.) Done

should just be an otg cable.

I am using the Nyko Playpad Pro

I purchased this controller from Tmart, a ChiCom, and made sure it was shipping from one of their US warehouses. Otherwise, it will take 4 to 12 weeks for delivery, due to customs. It arrived in under a week.
It works great with an OTG cable. I played Bard's Tale from start to finish with this controller, mirroring the screen on my TV. It's got a 9 foot long cable or so. My only real complaint with it is that the headphone jack in the bottom is non-functional, they even made it too small to insert a headphone jack into. Otherwise, it works just fine. All the buttons function well with solid feedback, none of them are mushy. The large X button in the center functions as the home button and the right stick controls a mouse when you are at your homescreen. I'd prefer the left stick control the mouse but I can live with the right stick doing it.

Game Controller???

Hello all,
I have a stock, non-rooted N6P. I've never attempted to play heavy gaming on it. I was wondering if I wanted to add a controller to play some games that may require it what would I need? A controller that I can add and remove, would allow me to play games better as I have bigger hands. Any help is appreciated!!
Figured this was the appropriate section to ask since the controller stuff would be accessories.

I use my PS4 controller for gaming on my 6P if you have the right cables and controller it recognizes it as a gamepad.

PS4 is the cheapest option if you already have a PS4 controller.
I have the Moga controller. It's a good controller. I play Modern Combat 5 a lot with it.

That's all because they both are Bluetooth. You can also use a (Xbox 360 or one, Steam, and etc) Controller if you don't mine using a otg cable. But do note that not all games work with an controller or may need you to map the controller out properly.

It's either a PS4 or Moga or whatever is out there. With a PS4 controller, you will need a clip that attaches from your controller to hold your phone, ps4 controller and USB C to Micro USB cable and that's it.
Or just a Moga controller and Bluetooth and its all set. Both are the same price if you do not have a PS4 controller.
I have both and I like the PS4 controller but the cable and the clip cost roughly $25ish and I got the Moga for $10 on Black Friday but if it wasn't on sale then PS4 controller would be my option.

MOGA Gamepads
What model of the MOGA gamepad have you guys gotten to work? I just tried with my MOGA Pocket and it won't pair with my 6P. Has anyone gotten the Pocket to work?

http://www.amazon.com/POWER-MOGA-Pro-Electronic-Games-Game/dp/B00FB5RBJM
Moga Power Pro.
It's $49.99 now so it's not a bad deal of you do not have a PS4 controller. A PS4 controller is already $50. Then cables and clip are about $15. What I like about the Moga is it works great and it can charge your phone too.

I don't think the PS4 can be mapped. Also for the cable. You need a Micro USB to USB-C. Cannot use a OTG or it won't communicate.
The Moga has a nice clip. I just put the phone on and its all set. Doesn't affect the volume buttons unless it's the Google Adopted case which we all know it sucks.
It has this rubber grip film on it and it has a light spring tension on it. Enough to hold the phone but not adjust the volume.

For using a controller can you use a PS3 remote? Just curious because a family member has one laying around that they're not using.

I wouldn't mind a decent controller for my 6P, though I don't really want to use a wired connection.
I have a Gamestick controller (ingot the whole lot for £20) and it works OK, but obviously no clip.
Anyone know of any good alternatives to Moga that are similar? Seem to be hadd to get in the Uk.

You could also try a UtorCase for a handheld experience https://www.shapeways.com/product/ZEHXUVT25/ps4-controller-huawei-nexus-6p
