So I've been trying to connect my ps3 controller via usb to my gnote which isn't rooted. I thought I had it worked out yesterday but unfortunaitly today that methods isn't working. Yesterday I noticed that when I connect it after having had it connect to my ps3 under settings/storage it showed up as external mas storage so I pressed unmount, it tried to unmount it then in bottom right under notifications it said error unformatted or blank hard drive, so I disconnected the ps3 controller and otg cable then reset the controller, rebooted the tablet and then plugged controller back into the otg cable then connected to gnote and it worked. Problem is today that method doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone here worked out how to connect the controller every time, without root and without buying an app? I tried the joystick bt/usb app it doesn't work for me and because it connects without an app every other day there should be a sequence that can be followed to just connect without an app. If anyone has worked it out can you please put instructions up on the forum so anyone trying this can easily find and follow them. I've been looking all over for some instructions and have found his and pieces but non of it just works. Thanks
Anyone got any ideas?

good day to everyone. firstly, i would like to thank you for having the time to read my post.
well basically heres my inquiry, my unit is the alcatel tab t10. i never had any problems with it until recently, my device's usb port suddenly stops working.
tried unchecking the usb debug mode, tried checking it but to no avail, the usb still does not work. it doesnt seem to connect to my laptop. tried changing the cable.
i also tried connecting my device to my brothers laptop.
correct me if im wrong, but when the usb fails to connect to any laptop, their should be a notification in the laptop that the device is not recognized. but in my condition, no notification shows up. its like my device does not really connect at all.
oh and if it helps, i bought an otg cable before it started malfunctioning. but the only thing i had conneceted to my device is a wired mouse and a wired generic gamepad, which both seems to be working perfectly fine.
also, if i connect my device to a wired mouse, it would work perfecly fine. i could also connect to a usb flash drive, that is via the otg cable.
so whats weird is that the usb cable does not work, but the otg cable works fine.
if you have any question or any suggestion , i would truly appreciate it.
Hmm.....well the good thing is the port itself isn't "dead" as you can still utilize it for OTG. My only suggestion is make a backup of all your apps and data and try a factory reset.

thank you for the suggestion guitarman2010. unfortunately my usb port isnt still working. i also reflashed my device's current firware. but still wasnt the solution i was looking for. i was just wondering if there is a directory under the root folder that holds the devices usb driver? would it be possible that the device's driver itself got deleted? i wam still at awe that the otg cable still works like a charm.
and another thing, is the male usb pin the same with the flash drive's pin? cause if i connect the usb cable to the otg cable it wont work, but the flash drive works normally.
sorry for the amount of question im posting
thank you very much for the suggestion. especially when u told me that the port itself wsnt dead. i can now breathe easier..
and future suggestion and advice would be appreciated.
do you guys know how to access the phoneutil in tablet? maybe i should change the usb option to pda? but i heard that its only applicable to samsung 4.0.3 devices? suggestions are appreciated.
I've searched all the forums, as well as the web, and followed every bit of advice and / or instructions I could find on the issue, but no matter what I attempt to do I can't get any games to work with the xbox 360 controller. Anyone have any idea how to get this to work with the skyrocket via an OTC cable?
More Details:
When I first plugged it in, the device seemed to recognize the controller (the lights on the controller would start flashing, the phone would give a message saying that a usb device is connected - but no games (I used emulators as well as games that are supposed to specifically support playing with an xbox controller, like GTA 3) were able to recognize or use the controller. Since then I've downloaded and installed a few different files on my phone to try to get the controller to work (.kl and .kcm files) as well as the app USB/BT Joystick Center 6 (which recognizes the controller and seems to work when I'm setting it up, but games are still unable to recognize the controller). I'm completely out of ideas of what to do or what the problem could be, so if anyone's had success with this or has an idea how this could be done, that would be fantastic. Thanks!

My touchscreen just crapped out on me a couple weeks back. I've bought a new phone and was able to retrieve all my documents/pictures from my One XL as it functions perfectly in all other aspects other than the touchscreen.
I was hoping to turn this into just a not so portable PMP having it permanently sit in the dock so I can watch movies and youtube while on my PC and control the phone via the usb port with my mouse. I tried my OTG cable with a usb mouse but that doesn't seem to work.
I also tried android screencast which while it mirrors the device's screen onto the PC doesn't actually grant any control over the device.
I was wondering if you guys knew of a way I can bypass my lockscreen via using the ADB as that's the first hurdle I need to get through.
i want to use the controller for apps like fpse and stuff.
already tried USB BT Joycenter but that wasnt working, the controller was connecting and showing as First player but there was no input and i cant get any updated version of the app cause i cant find it on the appstore.
the other thing i tried was editing the controller layout files, but they werent even on the tablet.
is there anything else i can do to get this to work?
I tried to connect my xbox 360 wireless controller via dongle aswell. it kinda connects but i am not really sure. the moment i let the dongle and the controller search for each other they seem to find each other straight away, but the led ring just keeps blinking and wont find a channel so to speak.
i followed sleeplessninjas guide and copied over the vendor_45e_product_0291/0719.kl and kcm but it didnt change the controller problem.
the controller is not recognized by any app i tried nor does the system itself show any response to the controller input.
i can connect a mouse or a usb flashdrive without a problem plug n play out of the box. but the controller wont get recognized.
i read on a shop review that the problem would be that the lenovo tab2 a10 doesnt have driver for the controller shipped with it.
my question would be: would cooking up my own android rom help and would i even be able to make it work on the device, i keep reading about lenovo devices being *****y about bootloader and such.
and then again cooking up ones own android is kinda of a longshot for an android beginner like me. need to read more. propably doable but are there even drivers available for the device fitting the system?
would appreciate someone shedding a bit of light in all the confusion cheers
