Hi all, I was just wondering whether Sense 3.0 supports connecting Wii Remotes through apps like WiimoteController? I know Sense 2.x had issues (only got it to work on my Desire through CyanogenMod), but realised that it would be useful to use alongside the MHL adapter I'm planning on ordering...
I will be finding this out soon because I already ordered the phone! lol
Doesn't work. Search in the this or the General forum, someone else tried it.
well thats just dandy! wtf is htc sense and/or wiimote app thinking? lets get this working! who doesnt want to play mario on their new sensation? I mean seriously!
Has something to do with the bt stack
Sent from my HTC Sensation
I haven't got a wii, so I couldn't try a wiimote.
but I could connect my MSI BGP100 bluetooth gamepad easily to my Sensation using bluez IME (but bluez ime doens't support wiimote, just zeemote and others)
I thought if the wiimote didn't work, my MSI wouldn't, and reciprocally, but that's not the case.
It works!

hi all, i was just thinking, recently i got a dinovo mini bluetooth keyboard and intend to use it with my captivate...
thing is, if we can use a normal hid profile keyboard with the captivate (and its special bluetooth stack), shouldn't a common pc bluetooth gamepad also be able to connect? or HID profile is not enough? ps3 and wii controllers dont work because they don't connect with just hid...
am i wrong? i dont own any bluetooth gamepad but i would like to know if it could be possible
thanks in advance
peace
Good question ill be following this thread.

Just installed CM7, and tried the Wii Controller IME.
IT WORKED! I haven't gotten it to work with any of the emulators (NESoid, SNESoid, psx4droid), but this is an encouraging first step!
yeah, thing is CM7 is not "pure" captivate, i understand the benefits of that rom, but for now i dont intend to flash it, sticking with cognition for now...
so... CM7 uses a different bluetooth stack apparently (bluez?) with better compatibility, but what i wanted was a simple pc gamepad that uses HID... BUT it doens't exist lol...
i started to google around and in fact there is almost no pc bluetooth gamepad, most wireless ones are RF and the only one i found was a weird thing that MSI released...
so... back to ps3/wiimotes/etc....
or to wait for the bluetooth gamegripper
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse works on my captivate using stock stack. Don't know what profiles were in use though.

I got a zeemote off ebay, and after downloading the bluezIME off the android market got it to work with all my emulators! Has anybody bought and tried this icontrolpad??? The Zeemote is just too small for my hands its difficult for me to play games with, so im still looking for a good controller.
As I am still on the hunt for a good bluetooth controller for my cappy, I got a second zeemote for some multiplayer action on my emulators! I am not getting the BluezIME to connect to more than one zeemote at the same time? does anybody know if there is a way to sync both zeemotes? or possibly install BluezIME twice for each controller?

Thread closed, there are other threads opened.
I Know there are a lot of threads for Game Pad Controllers out there what i am wondering is if any of you have one that you use for the Inspire. I am looking to get one and while there is not much selection for android bluetooth game pads i want one to work with the emulators (FPse, N64oid, TigerNES, SNesoid, ect). So how about it any of you have any experience in this?
I have found out that you can use a Zeemote with android but i don't know if it works with inspire. i am looking for something more along the lines of a ps2/3 style setup in a controller cause that is very easy to hold for many hours on end.
UPDATE: I have purchased a zeemote to try will update when I receive and test it out.
UPDATE2: Have received said js1 joystick. Seems to work so far. Am going to fiddle with this and write a review!
MOD: I probably need to move this to the accessories threads now. Thanks!
WOOHOO!! it does work. I am using a Zeemote JS1 On the HTC Inspire 4g without Root. So far so good! I have used it with FPse, SNesoid and Tiger NES so far. Will test it out with the N64oid this afternoon! Using a free software that connects via bluetooth called Bluez IME software to connect. It was fairly simple just following the instructions. Will try and post videos when i get my hands on a camcorder.
Anyone heard of the one that uses the Wii controller?
Sent from my fast / stable HTC Inspire 4G
There are several that use Wii controller but if you have HTC.sense it won't work (ie stock Rom) HTC didn't include hid devices in their Bluetooth driver/stack. So unless you root you can't use a Wii controller. Not that I have found out. The guy that wrote the driver I mentioned above is working on getting Wii controller working with his driver. At that point it would be a great thing to have if u use your phone for games!

Some Chinese guy had remodified a PS1 controller which he is selling on Taobao (kinda like a Chinese ebay) for about 25 USD. I got myself one about a week ago and am working at the moment with the bluez-ime developer to get it working on Android. It works so far with FPse, which you can see on the crappy video that I just took. Maybe I should start exporting these controllers ;-)

I was looking to join the Infuse 4g team here and wanted to know the following:
- Can you use ANY bluetooth controllers with gaming emulators? Also is there a single one that works without being rooted?
I know that Samsung usually messes up the ability to connect bluetooth controllers. I remember with my HTC Nexus One it worked beautifully with a wiimote even though I never rooted
I figured if I can use a bluetooth game controller with the gaming emulators and HDMI it to my television that I would have to purchase it...
Thanks for any knowledge you can give me I appreciate it
Yes, bluez ime will let you use zeemote, icontrolpad, and msi bgp100. No root required. Get bluez ime on the market.

Oh... My... God...
You sir, are AMAZING!
Thank you so much I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question jjfbman. I was starting to lose hope since no one answered my question but you saved the day. I'd really like to go with the Infuse but I told myself the next phone I get has to do 3 things like the iPhone can:
1. Emulators w/ bluetooth game controller support
2. Bluetooth keyboard support (I believe some people say the infuse already does this?)
3. Netflix streaming
1 down... 2 to go and I'm sold
Netflix support is probably going to come with Gingerbread. And if the rumors about Roger's Infuse are true, then an unofficial Gingerbread release shouldn't be too far off.
Is there any chance that the app will be compatible with the sensation? Can anyone make it work on our device? Thanks

not for a while, our bluetooth stack doesnt support it...
im sure someone is working on it, as the wiimote and certain BT headphones/headsets arent working either
From what I've heard/read, HTC has really screwed up the BT stack on their phones and have no intention of fixing it. We basically have to wait until a ROM fixes the BT stack on this phone.
Yea I've been trying to get it done and it didn't even give me a bluetooth address. then I tried on Xperia X10, that gave me a blutooth address but didn't connect. I guess we gotta wait for a while.
Hi,
I have read if I get my phone (HTC Sensation 4G) "rooted" (not sure how to do this) and install CyanogenMod 7 (could not find it for Sensation) I could use the SixAxis controller app on my phone.
Does anyone know where I could find CM7 to install on my Sensation (they have it for the MyTouch 4G which seems to be a similar phone, could I install that version of CM7?)?
How can I "root" my device?
Perhaps is there a different method to "tweek" the bluetooth protocol for my phone to pair with the PS3 controller?
I have seen a few youtube videos with the sixaxis working on other phones (Samsung Galaxy S, x10 mini pro, HTC Desire, HTC HD2) and since the Sensation 4G is the newest and best T-Mobile device I assumed there would be some way to get this app to work.
Im desperately trying to use the Sixaxis app (want to do 4 player Mario Kart and 007 via HDMI on my tv with 4 PS3 controllers!!) on my HTC Sensation 4G and if anyone has a way (or update) to make this work please let me know- thank you!
I'm trialing an alpha version of the compatibility checker app that should support more devices. It would be great if some of you could try it out and give me some feedback:

i was wonderning if xbox 360 pad can be used with our sensation for gaming.
i'm saying this because ps3 pad can be used for gaming and all it takes a driver which enables it.
i'm not a dev but i would love it if someting like this can be done.
please dev can you give some insight about this thread.

What way does the 360 controller connect to the Xbox wirelessly? If it's Bluetooth, there *MIGHT* be a slight chance. But if it's not Bluetooth, no way to get it working.

it only says its use wireless at 1.4 ghz protocol to connect
othere than that i could not find anything
Ok this is what I do know about your question. I do think the X-Box 360 does use Bluetooth for the wireless controllers, but do not hold me to it as I have not researched it in depth. If it is Bluetooth then you should be able to connect it via Bluetooth if your device supports the service the controller uses to communicate. But this is where the problem lies at, I do not think the services or supported in Gingerbread. Now if the Sensation suppers USB host functionality then you probably can use a USB hub to connect your Sensation and the X-Box 360 controller to and use it that way.
Now in ICS I do know that game pads are supported. You can read the article on Engadget to read more about that.

Hi,
Unfortunately for you the 360 wireless controller works via radio rather than bluetooth (unlike the PS3 and the Wii)

one of many reasons why I can not wait for ICS!!!
p.s. I do not believe Xbox controllers run on Blutooth... PS3 controller yes.

Thanks for correcting me, as I said I had not ever really looked into it. I knew the PS3 controller worked via Bluetooth, so it was a incorrect assumtion on my part.
Also thanks to someone I consider a friend malybru.
Even so if you dont have a stock build of android like CM7, or MIUI, Bluetooth wont work with the ps3 or wii controllers... HTC needs to fix that in their next update. i love sense and i love gaming it sucks i cant have both
360 = rf
ps3 = bt
Yeah, you will never get a 360 controller working without a hardware mod of some sort.
Wii is BT as well.
i just want to know how does cm7 or miui allow the users to connect to ps3 pad
if they use different bluetooth app or driver files than i think it will be good for us to just move them in our phone and we are good to go.
if any 1 can tell me the reason these two rom can connect to ps3 pad. and what is it that allows them
U need a radio reciever in your phone at 2.4ghz to use xbox controller. Our phones dont. So no go. End of story
I know there are usb adapters for the xbox 360 controller , would it be possible to use a usb to micro usb cable and use USB OTG to get it to communicate, then creat some sort of driver to get it to work? Sorry if its impossible, just throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks.
LOL we work around science.
