I have the J>T plugin installed, and it's yellow.
IME is yellow.
BT is OFF.
Analog-Key-Mode is ON.
I plug the Receiver in, and sync my controller. The controller only shows one connected quadrant, which is correct.
The controller shows up on my tablet as "X360 CTRL Wireless (1)".
However, I keep seeing: "Your Android-Device can not handle this amount of Joysticks!"
The app (or other apps) do not seem to register any controller presses.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem with galaxy GS3 and PS3 Controller. If you Use USB OTG cable then change it. Every other devices was working all right with this cable except an error you mentioned. I accidentally found that fault when plugging and unplugging device.
I bought this type of USB OTG on ebay and the connection is really tight.
Here's ebay item number. 170939379849
Hopefully works

Is there anything I need to do/install to get my mouse or keyboard to work on 3.1? When I plug them in, nothing happens. I've also tried plugging in my iPhone and an Xbox 360 controller, just to see if there is any response to any of them to show that the Xoom sees them.
I have a wired mouse and wireless keyboard (I figured keyboard wouldn't work). I'm trying to figure out if I may just have a bad OTG adapter.
Bluetooth keyboards work just fine.
You won't get any notifications or popups when you plug in a device, they will just start working (eg, you can just start typing with the keyboard).
Yeah I assumed they would just start working, but I wasn't sure if my wireless keyboard would work. I know when I am, for example, installing windows the keyboard works before drivers get installed, just not to the full extent.
I need help on this aswell... anyone?
I was wondering about this aswell. Doesn't it need to download drivers for the keyboard/mouse to work? Also since there's only one USB plug, would a hub work to get like a keyboard and mouse working at the same time?
And would wireless work?
So I am posting this everywhere as I found very little information about how to do this and trouble shooting some issues. Made a reddit post and going to post it here (I hope this is a proper place to put this).
Just hold down the PS button and Share till the light starts to flash. Go to your Bluetooth and pair the game controller.
Trouble shooting suggestions are on bottom.
Now after about 30sec, and for some unknown reason, you will run into input lag. To fix this you will need to download an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect. Once installed goto Advanced Options - Connect Now. Once you push Connect Now the input lag should be gone.
If you are looking for a clamp I just bought something called Nyko Smart Clip - PlayStation 4 on Amazon for $10. TOTALLY WORTH IT!
Trouble Shooting:
I had an issue when pairing that it would see the device but wouldn't pair. What I had to do was turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on and try again.
Another issue I had was Bluetooth Auto Connect wasn't fixing the lag issue on my Samsung Note Pro (same device I had an issue pairing, my Samsung Note 4 didn't have any of these issues). I had to uninstall sixaxis controller then restart device. Then uninstall Bluetooth Auto Connect and restart device. Then connect DS4 controller. Then install Bluetooth Auto Connect and spammed Connect Now. It seemed to work. FYI my Note Pro is rooted but my Note 4 isn't and this works on both devices!
To repair the controller to your PS4 plug it in with your charging cable and push the PS button, it will pair immediately. I personally bought a 2nd controller so I wouldn't have to do that.
Hello, I tried this with my ps 4 controller and it says that the controller is paired but the light on the controller keeps flashing and it does not respond to any input and after some time it just turns off, the Bluetooth auto connect app just says that is unable to connect to wireless controller, please help, my device is a galaxy s7 edge.
Connecting the PS4 controller works for me but can't do anything else such as can't play games or anything, maybe a future update when everyone starts to cry a bit more about how the S7 Edge isn't compatible with any controller, I have tried 3rd party controllers and the right joystick and the rest of the buttons do not work, the only thing that works is the left joystick...
Before the 7.0 Nougat update on the S7 Edge (SM-G935P) the OTP (wired) connection would crash the phone; freezing the display, hard reboot. This happened on the OFW and rooted versions. Bluetooth would pair but you'd have to try multiple times and you'd need to delete the original pairing to repair (holding the pair buttons on the controller).
After the 7.0 Nougat update, controller support had been added- albeit horribly. The only connection is an OTP connection, Bluetooth still has errors. The button configurations are wrong though, the controller is useless. Square, X and circle are all wrong and triangle doesn't even register.
This is where I'm at, anyone know of any fix? I'm not looking forward to buying a Stratus XL (works perfectly but it's 60$)
I'm about to just switch from Samsung to Sony lol.
Unfortunately the guy that wrote this article is guilty of blatant douchbaggery (what good is a paired controller that cant be mapped and starts mapped completely out of whack). Yes you can 2 button pair a ds4 controller but a ds4 controller is encrypted and requires in linux and linux like os a driver called SCP (SONY CORP.SOMTHING......) That just isnt offered by any app ive seen on droid other than sixaxis. Alternately you could always hard wire it . The major flaw in this is the inability to stop the controller from charging in this case off your phone battery. As far as the mapping goes the only issue is android uses the generic abxy combo which is cross circle square triangle in ps4 speak . in retrospect .....i suppose i should have stopped reading when the author claimed no root. The controller keylayout files (.kl) are located in/system/user/keylayout. How are u supposed to do anything to those w/o root?
I have updated my controller Bluetooth address association with my phone address (with Motioninjoy on the computer) but after that when I hit the home button the gamepad doesn't even appear when scanning bluetooth devices just blinks till shutdown (even connected with OTG to the Orange Nura my gamepad doesn't blink the lights but attached to the computer with the same usb cable it does so), surfing the web I found this instructions to make a device trustable, what do you think, it will work? May someone translate this options to Android language? none of these commands work in android
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bluetooth_keyboard
I desperate need help, all day searching for pairing generic BT controller with android and only PS3 instructions came to me it's really awful :crying:
Thanks in advance
I do have another original Sixaxis controller which was paired to my ps3 but the mac address of the ps3 has one less character than the mobile phone!has 6 only instead of 06 which is really strange?¿
I first tried to change my phone BT address to the Ps3 address in memory, but it says "address not valid" and change nothing.
By MotioninJoy I changed the MAC associate to my phone local BT address, then with Sixaxis Controller at my mobile when I hit start it says listening for controllers I tried connected by OTG or with no cables attached and powering it but doesn't find any bluetooth device and the lights flash till shutdown.
I bought Amazon Fire HD8(2018), I thought I can use it as a budget option for emulator gaming or native gaming.
Everything works fine software wise, but I can't properly connect it with gamepads.
Here are my gamepads:
Steam Controller x2 - it only works in the Steam Link App, and become mouse outside the app.
Dual Shock 4 (gen1) x1 - it can pair and show as "wireless controller" in setting, but just completely not sending any control signal to Android. (googled it, someone said gen1 is not supported by Android, but also many posts say DS4 is usable before gen2 even came out, so I really can't understand why this is not working)
Switch Pro Controller x2 - it can pair, Android do receive its signal, but it has huge input lag and intermittently signal, this is a common issue online, and I can't find a solution so far.
So, that's already 3 kinds of popular controllers I have tried and I don't have other controllers (5 are already a bit too much for me).
Is there anything I can try to make those controllers work? maybe I can install a driver or something?
If there is really no solution for controllers I already have, what's the budget/working/wireless gamepad that recommended to buy for my HD8?
Thanks.
With older versions of Android, it's hard to make gamepads work. There's not much you can do about that. You can try Android-specific Bluetooth gamepads. 8BitDo and Gamesir controllers apparently work well. Moga ones might, too.
@sky1331, have you tried a micro usb OTG adapter yet? It may expand your available options by allowing you to use your controllers wired (albeit at the cost of not being able to charge your tablet while playing).

I have tried a micro USB OTG cable. It doesn't work. I tried with two different controllers and both produced the same result.
XBox One controller model 1697: I first tried the OTG adapter without external power to the HD8 (2018) through the OTG adapter. The controller vibrated and the home light turned on. Then the tablet rebooted without warning. I assumed that the controller was drawing power from the tablet so I also plugged in the power cord for the tablet to the OTG adapter and tried again. Same result. Vibrates, lights up, tablet reboots. If you leave the controller plugged in while it boots, it will bootloop.
Dual Shock 3 model CECHZC2U: Downloaded Sixaxis Compatibility Checker. Method 5 for drivers worked, so I purchased the Sixaxis app. I plugged the controller into my laptop and reassigned the MAC address to my tablets Bluetooth MAC address. Then I clicked "Pair" on the Sixaxis app and waited until I saw "Looking for controller" like I'm supposed to. Then I unplugged the controller from my laptop and pressed the home button. 4 flashing lights that just keep flashing. And flashing. And flashing. Until they all go out like the controller timed out. Damn. So I plugged in the OTG adapter again and plugged the controller into the tablet. It didn't reboot and the 1st light lit up like it was assigned the player 1 spot. So I unplugged it. Immediately all 4 lights started flashing again until it timed out. So I plugged it back into the tablet and got the 1st light again. Then I fired up every app I know of that supports external controllers. Not a single one could detect the controller. Nor could I control Android like I normally can with my spare Moto Z Force with the Moto Gamepad mod. So, no input is being detected at all.
I don't have any other controllers to test, but my guess is that a generic Bluetooth controller might work, but none of the major controllers seem to work so don't get your hopes up. I will also say that I know it's not a problem with the tablet or OTG cable. Both work great when I plug a flash drive into the OTG cable while hooked up to the tablet. The drive shows up just fine.
Edit: I bought a Playstation Classic. I don't have a need for a second controller for it and it comes with 2 so I thought I'd try the extra on the Fire HD 8 2018. It works great using an OTG cable. ePSXe detected it straight away and I can control Android with the controller perfectly fine. Retroarch sees it. So, I've found a solution that meets my needs. I'd have preferred wireless, but I really didnt want to purchase a whole controller for a device I'm not intending to lose or break in 6-9 months but will realistically happen within that timeframe.
It's working, I using the GEN Game Bluetooth Gamepad, it's working.
I'm having the same problem with my Kindle Fire 10 HD 7th gen tablet. I bought a IPEGA PG-9023 Telescopic Wireless Bluetooth Game Controller. It's detected, but it just won't connect. Works fine with the Amazon Firestick 4K. The only difference is that the Firestick uses Bluetooth 5.0 + LE and the Kindle 10" Tablet uses Bluetooth 4.1 + LE which the IPEGA gamepad is supposed to support. I have no idea whatsoever why it won't connect.

I'm using this controller: "Xbox Series X Wireless Controller Electric Volt". It pairs and works fine with Retroarch emulation of nes, snes, ps1, etc.. and Asphalt 8.

"Xbox Series X, Electric Volt". It also works on my FireTvstick 4k Max.
My Samsung S9 has had some screen damage and the touchscreen mostly does not work.
In order to navigate it I must use a mouse that I connect to the phone using the supplied USB C- A adapter.
I wish to get my phone repaired but I wish to backup all the data upon it first.
If I plug my phone directly into my PC, it asks for my permission to allow the PC access. However, since the touchscreen does not work properly, I cannot press the button to accept.
I could not plug both the mouse and PC simultaneously.
So I bought a USB-C hub. (Actually I've bought several, none of them have worked, this latest one is the most expensive and I had hoped it would work - (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07ZVKTP53/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
It has a separate port for USB-C Power Delivery and a separate one for data.
I plug the attached USB-C cable from the hub into my phone, and then I plug my mouse into a regular USB port, my charger into the USB-C PD port, and another USB-C to A cable from the USB-C Data port on the hub into a USB port at the back of my (new) PC.
Now my computer does not recognise my phone at all, nor does my phone seem to acknowledge it is connected to a PC. The mouse still works upon the phone and it charges fine through the PD port. If I plug the phone straight into the PC, it is recognised, so I do not think the problem lies there. The hub seems to block communication between the phone and PC.
I would like to backup my data and get my phone repaired. If anyone can solve the USB-C Hub issue or propose another solution to my problem then I would be grateful.
A mouse and keyboard will take priority over anything else in a hub.
I'm betting the hub's power is 2000mA or 2.0 Amps.
What does your fone charger state its power is? Add the mouse, keyboard, and fone's milliamps together. If it's more than the hub's power pack supplies....
In this situation, I would use Vysor, this will defo solve your problem, it allows you work with your fone on your pc/lappy by providing a lovely window that is a duplicate of your fone screen, you'll be glad you found this!!!
I can provide an old cracked version I used for my emergencies, if there is no objections?
Then you'll only need the mouse to use as your finger
Google Vysor. case closed lol.

Hi
Thanks for your reply
It's not a battery hub, but just a USB-C hub (check the link). Power comes from the PD USB-C port which is hooked up to my phone's original USB-C charger.
It also fails to work even when a mouse isn't attached to it.
I will look into Vysor. Also thought about the possibility of using a standalone bluetooth mouse which would free up the cable.
Your fone will suck the life out of a poorly powered hub, by using vysor, your pc/lappy mouse will work your fone using vysor, best app I've ever seen for working with broken screens, just plug phone direct into lappy, vysor works if you've no screen at all!!!!!
Use
Vysor

Dont pay for mouses/hubs in this scenario. Just pay for a top quality tool. I would place this as my number one android tool for ANY fone.
Again, if all your doing is data recovery (saving your stuff) I have a patch for an earlier version to unlock full version I swear by, you could use this once if only to try before you buy
The hub supports 85W fast charging directly from mains, which is what it is getting.
How do I enable USB debugging specifically for the app?
I have enabled it in developer options but when I connect my phone via USB to my computer as per the Vysor app, another window pops up on my phone asking to allow USB debugging. Ask there is no mouse attached to the phone at this point, I am unable to allow it.
