Hey
Is it possible to connect a Playstation 3 controller to a Android device via Bluetooth and play all the emulators like that?
If so, how?
Thanks.

Definitely not, unless someone comes out with a custom driver/app. the PS3 controller doesn't use a generic bluetooth protocol, it has it's own Sony one. To even get a ps3 controller to work over bluetooth on a PC requires both a custom application running on the PC as well as custom bluetooth drivers in order to allow your bluetooth adapter to talk to the PS3 controller. With the custom drivers loaded the ps3 controller is the only thing the bluetooth adapter will talk to.
Someone would have to do essentially the same thing for android: custom application as well as custom bluetooth drivers
Furthermore, to pair a PS3 controller to a computer or PS3 via bluetooth you must be able to connect it over USB first. You would need an Android device capable of USB host mode which are few and far between.
Has anyone tried any kind of bluetooth joystick with their Android device? Any recommendations?
The Wii mote works .. search the market for the app. Make sure your phone or rom supports HID

Why isn't it possible on Android?
It even works without extra applications on Maemo: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66704 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41693
At least Honeycomb 3.1 should be able to detect it or is there another problem?
i have a question about ps3 controllers and my moto g. i am so sorry i know that the info is already provided in this forum but i have NO idea and info about rooting since there's too much info on what to do/what not to do, and information is scattered everywhere. all i see are gibberish. I am so overwhelmed and at a loss.
1. i have this after glow ps3 controller(only usb no wireless bluetooth pairing for ps3) and i used it with my otg cable on my moto G and it works. my ps3 controller doesnt but it worked on my nexus 7(now dead). is ps3 not supported by default or do i have to root it to use it?
2. If i root it just for sixaxis, will i lose my warranty? will i still be able to get the latest on the air updates automatically?
I tryd to connect the Dualshock 4 controller via bluetooth today but didnt get it connected it just keeps trying to connect to the controller but doesnt do it. The controller works quite nicely via cable connection.
Has anyone gotten it paired via bluetooth and how do i do it? My device is stock and not rooted.
You need to sideload the Sixaxis Controller app from the Play Store. This app requires root for Bluetooth to pair so you will need to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and SuperSu.
Anyone manage to get a XBox one controller to work with the Note 5? I got a USB OTG cable and tried connecting the xbox one controller and the Note 5 would not recognize it.
I also tried the USBBT Joystick Center app and it recognizes the controller sometimes. When it does recognize the controller the phone reboots.
I'm on stock rooted OK3.
Hi,
I am looking for a controller to use with my Android phone. I thought about getting a PS4 controller as I will be using it for emulators and therefore won't have problems with mapping keys and I know a PS4 controller will be good quality controller.
But from looking online I see people have lag input problems with the PS4 controller on Android, and they have found a work around by installing a Bluetooth program and selecting a option. To be honest I don't want to be messing around with programs and stuff and rather just have a controller that just connects and works. So is this input lag problem still happening with newer phones/Androids? If so what good Bluetooth controller would you recommend to use with a Android phone? I have tried a OTP cable and a normal USB gamepad but that wouldn't work sadly on my Xiaomi phone.
Thanks,
