Does Sixaxis work? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pretty simple, can anyone confirm that the Sixaxis app works on the Nexus 5 with the touch profiles?

I am wondering the same thing?! Still can't figure out if other USB devices such as keyboards and mice work. I think from posts, most people confirm that USB flash drives are working. Any information would be nice.

Let me test some things out and I'll get back to you. I already tested a USB flash drive that works. I'll try out a USB keyboard

Just tried a keyboard and mouse and both work fine over USB OTG. I can't find my sixaxis controller right now though but I would imagine that it would work fine. It works on my Nexus 7 2013 with no problems.
BTW this post was typed on a USB keyboard connected to my Nexus 5...

Crackle

FYI, watched a movie on crackle last night (Step Brothers). I hooked my phone up to my TV via HDMI, and it worked fine. the only issue was that I got no audio, so I had to connect the headphone jack to my Home Theatre System, and all was good from there.
had to sit through a commercial or two a few times, but that was it. streamed fine.

yeah - had to get from another site. forgot the sight - but got from a droid forum.
I was able to download the apk to my pc and move to my sd card and install from there. I got it from this link (though I had to sign in using my google account). http://www.1mobile.com/crackle---movies--tv-96544.html
installed successful and the app opened. haven't tried to watch anything yet.

Sixaxis Controller

Did anyone try to connect a PS3 SIXAXIS controller with OTG? It doesn't seem to work, I read that since the ICS update it was easy and didn't require any apps or anything like that.
Anyone else got this to work?

Hi ! I tried to play Dead Triggers with Sixaxis through OTG on stock rom and it works ! :victory:
I haven't tried yet via OTG, if Sony added gamepad support it should work fine (and looks like it is from the above post). Will try this evening.

Just tried my dual shock via OTG and it worked with no problems ! It even charged it, going to try connecting via bluetooth when its fully charged.
Tried 3 various USB drives, all of them were under powered and therefore didn't work (require a powered hub)
There's an excellent app on the market called sixasis.

Sixasis connects your device to a PS3 controller via bluetooth & has its own mapping profiles.
I use it on my Nexus7 and it's brilliant.
Unfortunately for those with locked bootloaders it requires root so some will have to wait for a root exploit.

Does Bluetooth work in the end? All the videos I've seen show the controller connected at all times.
No, you can play wirelessly, it works on my HTC sensation. Press thanks if I have helped.

Does it require root though?
There's a video on the Web showing the Xperia SP to go wireless with Dual Shock http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/50771/sony-xperia-phones-dualshock-3
Maybe we have to wait some time!
What graffus said,
Let's hope it's available in the next update.
It lets you use the ps3 controller via Bluetooth
By first plugging it in via usb otg, letting it detect the controller -unplug from usb otg- then allowing it to connect via bt. No root required

There's no news... you just plug it in via USB OTG and it works. Always has worked on .244. Then you can pair via bluetooth. I've been using it on .244 stock since I updated

Thanks! For some reason the C6616 has to be updated via flashtool. As of now I'm running 4.1.2, which is why I didn't see any support for the controller on the settings. Is there any list of compatible games floating around?

I'm pretty sure that any games that support a controller are supported by the dualshock.

Wow, I never knew this was possible.
its ok for compatible games with native gamepad support.:good:
but if not, like fifa 14 you have to use the sixaxis app from the market to pair the controller and setup a game profile, or just google download one for the game.
i have made a profile for fifa 14 it works great with all fetaures like configured swipe gestures for buttons etc...
if anyone is interested in my pfolie for fifa 14 let me know this and i will upload. :laugh:
Hello it would be very nice if you could upload it

USB host and MHL?

Hi. I thought this phone was advertised as having USB on the go / USB Host features. Were they removed in Jelly Bean or were they never there?
I tried USB OTG cable with a flash drive and go another, as well as an externally powered hard drive. I tried a 5-pin MHL adapter (Rocketfish RF-G1171 from eBay) and had no luck. I haven't used an MHL device before bit tried many times. My TV can see MHL is connected so it seems the adapter is working. And there's an HDMI audio setting under ACCESSORY in the phone settings. I don't have another MHL adapter to test or another MHL device to test with.
Again, has this stuff worked before? Do I need new adapters? Do I need to downgrade?

What ROM you using?
Cm9 had video no sound.
Cm10.1 no luck so far.
Can't remember for stock

This is on stock Jelly Bean. Should either be working? Did it work on stock ICS?

That's lame it doesn't work on stock JB either.
Vaguely remember with stock ICS - though if I remember correctly MHL did work to some degree on stock ICS.
Some devices do have MHL &/or USB host working on CM10.1, just not us (yet )
MHL, USB Host & Wifi-Direct (screen share) are 3 killah features, all of which still need ironing out for the Relay.
However the devs at work on the Relay have acknowledged these as 'nice to have' features & will not come about any time soon unfortunately.

Maybe I should start accepting donations lol. I'll work on otg and mhl if I had the connectors.
Come to think of it, I need a USB audio dock too

just dropping by to say that officially relay supports MHL but not OTG. connecting an OTG cable on stock rom makes the system go derp and prevents MHL from working until reboot
Will chromecast work with the relay?

Chromecast is not a p2p device. As such, it streams from the cloud, so device compatibility is not an issue for it. Also, it's been tested by teferi and infernix and myself

Also I wasn't kidding. Get me an MHL cable and OTG and I'll support it on Cyanogenmod. I've never asked for donations before, but you can paypal me at my name at gmail dot com.

Oh sh!t. That's sick.
I've been on July 11th build for quite some time, because of its sheer stability and battery preservation.
Will test MHL when return this weekend. Else will favour for a latest nightly to trial the MHL capability you've mentioned.
So your getting crisp video and sound? No gimmicks?

It seems OK. Don't think sound code was altered after it was finally fixed. Not sure though. As for video I watch stuff on Google play and seems perfect, don't take very many videos with relay camera, so can't comment on that.

If it already works, awesome, we fixed it without even being aware of it. My shipment from Amazon is coming today in any case, thanks dilladale.

No probs dude.
How about the USB OTG cable, manage to get hold of that too?
Can't wait to trial MHL when back from this trip.

I'm not having much luck with either OTG or MHL. OTG appears to be registering properly in the kernel but userspace isn't doing anything. MHL appears to be registering incorrectly. I'm going to send my off brand cable back and get the official Samsung one.

from my experience, all mhl 1.0 adapters are the same (same silicon image chip)... so unless yours is defective it won't make a difference... tried to reboot the phone and just plug in the mhl adapter without plugging anything into the usb port before that?
edit: unless you bought the galaxy s3 compatible version that uses a 11 pin micro usb connector... our phone doesnt have that, it needs the 5 pin version (galaxy s2 compatible)
bump for this? Any progress nard?
Thanks for all your hard work!

Wifi tethering issue on sprint (and possibily also other network)?

I seem to have wifi tethering issue with my nexus 5 on sprint. It's detecting LTE and 3G signal fine and I can use the phone browser, etc. But with hotspot enabled, my tablet can connect to the nexus 5 fine. Just that the tablet doesn't detect that there is internet at all. Wondering if sprint pushed something into my phone when i have it connected to sprint initially.
Anyone has this issue and on sprint?
Search the forum, there is a fix. You'll have to be rooted.

TOMTOM go APP - Download card at home on sd card

Hey Mates,
just feeling like a noob this time .... is it possible to download the tom-tom mobile cards at home, put it on a sd card and then in the Unit in Car?
I cant get a WIFI connection with my house. So I always connect over hotspot on my mobile ... but 1 gig would drain my data plan
With tt I never tried, with sygic the folder for maps is under Android/data. See if you can find the folder on your phone, should be the same as on the head unit.

What you can do for the future: buy a USB to rj45 connector and roll out a network cable to your car from your router. That downloads maps a lot faster. I have one works great !
