Hi Everybody
I recently bought TF300T and now trying to connect my PS3 Dualshock 3 controller to it, but facing problems.
I have jellybean 4.1 as OS and trying to conect using dock USB Port.
In Settings -> Bluetooth -> My PS3 controller is shown, but when i click on it to connect, error message comes " Unable to Communicate with Blah Blah..)
It doesnot work in game, while in normal tablet mode, i can move thru items/pages with my controller.
I have read so many forums over internet which shows the simple steps to connect, i tried to use them a number of times but no success.
Also, I tried with different games like FIFA2012, Shadow Gun, Mass Effect
Please helpout, am I doing something wrong or its just jellybean not allowing to.
Thanks
Jas

The are a paid app four use it in games.
Never heard about use ps3 controller "plug&play"
The app, change mac adress of bluethoot master of the controler & installs in the phone/tablet a protocolo to comunicate with it...
And one thing, a very few games support external pad....
Good luck
As the topic title says, i got a moga pro for really cheap new and wanted to use that instead of having to purchase the expensive controller. I only had a few minutes to play around with it this morning but i could not get the controller to navigate through the tablet in console mode while connected to my tv. Is there anything i can do?
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
The controller works fine when i connect it with bluetooth to the tablet and with cable. But i cant use consol mode on the tablet connected to tv with hdmi and it says there missing a controller. Still able to play games and stuff with the controller on the tablet. And it wont connect through the shield accessories app, and i think thats the problem. Someone have any thought/ideas how to fix this issue?
Yes, read in the Nvidia Tablet forums. The new controller does not work with the current OS. You have to wait for the update.
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.
