Anyone tried the new Onlive app?

Curious if anyone has tried Onlive on the Plus yet? I have it installed, but keep getting connection errors.

Yep, worked fine on my Tab7+, was on wifi (Comcast) at the time. Pretty compelling app, may have to try going through a game or two on it.

My Tab dislikes my work wifi, so I'm hoping it will work when I get on my home network. I'm curious if controller support only works with the new Onlive controller or if it will work with a PS3 controller too.

I think it's only onlive controller. Don't know if there is a workaround.

Onlive
Wouldnt work on my work network, oddly enough (Business class). However at home it let me in. Menus are laggy as all hell. Gameplay was acceptable at times, however there are lag spikes which cause slowdown and than super speed while it catches up. Very dependent on your network speed. Was still quite a thrill playing these games in the palm of your hand though.

Yeah, it's definitely not perfect, but hopefully a sign of good things to come. It would be great for some turn based games like Civ.

OnLive worked quite well for me... I think it's highly dependant on internet speed / latency though. (I have 50mb up/50mb down and 7ms ping)
Controls on the touchscreen are limited. If you're going to do it serious I'd get an onlive controller.

I bought the Onlive controller, it'll arrive tomorrow. Will let everyone know if it works with the tab.

Hello all,
Just want to give you a quick status update:
1). Onlive App works flawlessly on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+
2). I bought the Wireless controller, pair it via Bluetooth with my GT7+ and it works
3). I can start Onlive app, play Lego Batman (FREE if you register) and use the Wireless controller to play.
The wireless controller, once connected to Bluetooth, can even control the GT+. I use Go Launcher and I can move left and right to different screen, play music by pressing the "Play" button on the controller, etc.
So now I can play pretty much ANY games on Onlive via my GT7+. Lego batman, Just Cause 2, and HomeFront multiplayer.
One thing to note: pairing the BT requires following the instructions in here.
Once it's done, it's a breeze!

Moga Pro, Pivot Apps - games and controller lags heavily

I got the AT&T Note, recently upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I also got the Moga Pro.
I run the Pivot App, selected Nova 3 and tried to play the Campagin mode with the Moga Pro. Problem is, everything just lags heavily:
1). There is lag from the moment I press the button to the actual action executed
2). Right Analog Stick works but the character turns very slowly - bad in FPS. However, Left Analog Stick works like a charm
3). Games just jerky and laggy
Is this issues with Moga Pivot Apps? Or just the controller in general?

I dont have any issue with it, also got the moga pro. But I've gotta say that the pivot app sucks, it shouldnt be open every time you want to play a game. Look for Universal moga driver ( it'll be soon updated to support the moga pro controller ).

Quick update: this is a KNOWN ISSUE --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41946221#post41946221
Only solution, for now, is to DISABLE Wifi when the Moga Pro controller is connected. Practically make online multiplayer useless. (tried playing via AT&T 4G but connection is laggy...)

Moga Pivot app causes wifi drops/disconnects for me. I can connect my Moga Pro through the app, everything is fine. I play the game and then disconnect the controller. As soon as I disconnect, wifi problems start (disconnects, drops, lags etc) Only way to get stable wifi back is disable bluetooth or Force Stop Moga Pivot app. There are 2 background services of the Moga Pivot app, I suspect they search extensively after a disconnect and tax the bluetooth heavily and cause wifi problems. My phone is Galaxy S4.

My educated guess is that your using 2.4ghz wifi and your Bluetooth runs at similar frequency. Try connecting to 5ghz wifi connection and using controller at the same time. Just a shot in the dark but I use ac 1750 router which has 5g wifi and have no lagging issues at all. Let me know if this helps. .. Also Bluetooth and 2.4ghz wifi disconnects are possible with your S-4 especially if it's connected to a usb3.0 cable due to the resonate frequency that usb3.0 generates during operation. Solution: charge your phone with an older USB 2.0 cable while playing. ....

[Q] What in my software is keeping any gamepad from working?

I bought a logitech F310 gamepad today, after hearing so many good reviews on it with this specific device. I have tried using the gamepad with games and I just end up spinning in circles, or when i try to configure, only the left and right on the DPAD work. When i go into Joy2Touch, it recognizes the bits of every single movement, and tells me everything about what i am doing and how i am doing it. It also recognizes the device and its model. Then when i go into JoystickTests, nothing at all is registered. I ended up just giving up and going to play some PCSX ps1 emulator, and the controller works almost perfectly fine (except for the fact that ab/xy are switched and i can't switch them back)
UPDATE: Through some appwork on JoyCenter, I have gotten almost every control to work, except that I always have both joysticks turned ALL the way up and to the side all of the time when ingame on any app except in an emulator. AB/XY are still swiched in my PS1 emulator, have not tried others and will keep it updated.
UPDATE: Something that I have noticed in JoyCenter is that when I load up the driver, I see that the dots for the joysticks for all the way left and all the way up are ALWAYS on, as well as two unknown dots, no matter how I calibrate or try to fix. This seems to be the only problem by now, but whether or not I have JoyCenter running or what controller (between stock gamestop tab controller and f310 Logitech, as well as a generic ps3 controller) So I have narrowed it down to something in the tablet's bios or base software hat is glitching up my USB/Bluetooth control input. Could I have a lemon?
I am running the latest CM with its stock kernel. I have also tried JB and PA with their stock kernels, in the latest versions as well. I am completely lost and stumped, and if anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Splashtop 2 with Controller Support

hey guys,
thought id share that splashtop 2 now supports controllers, mainly the xbox 360 controller but ive been testing with a ps3 controller (bluetooth) and it works surprisingly well, the ps3 controller seems to have an issue with deadzone with the analog sticks (ive contacted suppot) but other than that latency is low and very playable, ive been testing it on a 801.11n 2.5ghz network about 20+ meters away from my router and it was still playable.
To enable controller support, you need to install a driver,
open cmd with admin permissions an run cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Splashtop\Splashtop Remote\Server\GamePad" then install_driver64.bat (or install_driver.bat for 32bit e.g.)
Restart splashtop and it should work, still the fullscreen game limitation but most games support borderless and/or windowed mode.
Enjoy

I'm having a little trouble with this. I've seen a few other people online with the same problem, just no answers yet. I did everything just as you said there, just as the splashtop website says, that is. I had it say "echo off" and then a few seconds later, windows asked me if I wanted to install the driver. So I did, it installed, and I restarted splashtop. I even restarted my pc, when that failed. Either way, when I plug my Xbox 360 Controller for Windows into the usb of the dock of my ASUS tf300t, it just blinks the green circle and the only control I have is the left analog, and maybe like one other button. Any ideas?

Hmm are you using a custom rom? with my tests i used a ps3 controller and sixaxis app to access it, also does this happen on native android games? try recreate a driver using usb/bt control app

No custom rom. I do not have the tablet rooted at all, which disables me from being able to use the sixaxis app to test my ps3 controller or the usb/bt app. However, you are correct, both the PS3 controller and the Xbox360 controller for windows work perfectly on native android apps like GTA:Vice City and various emulators. So I guess that just leaves Splashtop. I'm nearly 100% certain that the Splashtop software the tf300t comes pre-loaded with is Splashtop 2. But I could be wrong.

Yeah, I did that too. lol. Still no go. I then went back and uninstalled and reinstalled all the software. Still no go. I was now thinking I'm just going to have to use a ps3 controller connected wirelessly to my pc upstairs, but that would require me spending another 15 bucks on a bluetooth usb adapter. I don't want to do that. lol.

[Q] Stuck in a loop with shield.

So basically when I bought my shield it worked perfectly out of the box, here is the specs...
3570k i5
780ti
Pce ASUS ac68
Asus ac68u router
As I said it worked flawlessly, no latency issues etc. Then round about the same time the KitKat update rolled out, and GeForce experience 2.1 dropped. This immediately ruined streaming. Would say PC was offline and Gfe wouldn't allow new connections to it. Shield couldn't find the PC on the network when looking for a new streaming connection. I'm told too that the KitKat update broke a lot of the emulators (essentially bricking the shield to be honest).
I ripped out all the Nvidia software and downgraded to 2.0 GeForce experience which is bundled with an older version of the GPU drivers. Also unlocked, rooted and flashed the shield back to factory android version. This meant I could stream again without issue, great!!!
Now I've bought a shield wireless controller to play games on the sofa in console mode. Problem now is that you need the shield wireless controller app on the shield to connect, this only comes with the latest android update, which only works with gfe 2.1 which subsequently breaks the streaming. So either I have a working shield running old software that I cant connect the controller to, or I have everything up to date and a controller connected but lose the ability to play games. How very very stupid.
What do I do to get the best of both worlds? The wireless controller app isn't available on play store or anywhere else. Can anyone get the standalone apk?! Need help.
Thanks!!

I'm waiting for my Shield Tablet right now. When i place the prder at Sept 16, the website says it will be shipped on Oct. 1st,ñ nevertheless i got a messages on Sept. 18 saying that my tablet was shipped and i got tracking numbers. In the meantime i'm reading everything i can to be docummented, one of the things i read about was problems with KitKat and the tablet. Some people says that factory reseting the tablet makewe it work. So my advicve is, update your shield and them hard reset it. And try again.
