I just flashed my Moto G 1st gen to Android 5.1 GPE stock last night. Now the gamepad wont link up to my phone. The bluetooth radio is fine because it paired up to my bluetooth speaker without issue. The gamepad also links to my moms Moto G thats still on 4.4.4.
Im checking to see if anyone else has run into this issue with Android L on their phones. My controller is a Game Stop Red Samurai btw.

Has anyone had gamepad issues with lollipop?

i think we have a better chance at others to be able to use a ps3 controller with our device since the ps3 controller pairs and shares it's pin via usb. which we happen to have!
i don't know much about this stuff but i was googling to see if anyone has paired on yet and it's only been done on a windows mobile phone so far. but seems possible from my broad perspective. anyone more knowledgable ?
If i had a PS3 controller, i would work on it and write an app if necessary. Just got this tablet yesterday and tossed CM6.1b4 on it.
Thanks!

Interesting thoughts.
I think most will depend on the bluetooth and bt software.
I recall some android phones with bluetooth cannot pair with a Wiimote where others do so easily.
The only "problem" would be that you would need to place the tablet on some sort of a desktop so you can have both hands on the controller. Putting the tablet on your lap also works but it gets uncomfortable really quickly.
On a side note, how does this thing handle the psx emulator?
It actually handes psx4droid very well. I was quite impressed. I just flashed TnT Lite last night, and have not tested it yet.
I was very easily using a Wiimote to play Legend of Dragoon on it. Very few stutters, but i did not make any setting adjustments yet. a PS3 controller makes more sense, but I'm unsure if the "Wiimote Controller" app will do anything for us with a PS3 controller (again, I don't own one, so can't test).
Thanks!

Two things:
1. How did you get Wiimote to work? TnT 2.0 does not even see the device... maybe an issue with new firmware? Not aware of anybody having luck with 2.0.
2. If you think PSX4droid works ok, you will go nuts if you install 1.5 or 1.6- both are twice as fast for 3D games than 1.7 on the Gtablet.
Most 3D games plays smooth. Catch is the sound aint' the best.
To use wiimote with the tnt you have to change,one of the all's.. or install cm6.1 or zpad
ive been searching the net for the possibility of connecting the ps3 controller to any android device and specifically for my gtablet when i ran across this thread. if anyone could get a ps3 controller to pair and work for our gtablet, id be ever grateful. for some reason, the virtual keyboard on psx4droid just doesnt cut it for me. anyone ran across anything promising lately?
I hav also been looking for the ps3 controller to work on my gTab maybe some can hac the old PS1 controller the same way the SNES controller was hacked...thoughts?
Id be interested in getting this thread going again, a ps3 app would be baller on the g tablet!
I was able to run com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk on to my G Tab. Its running android 2.2. Connected fine but ended up with chipmonk problems. Absolute Nube here so Iam lost for the fix.
I can not get the Moto G to recognize a PS3 Sixaxis controller while its plugged in via usb>OTG.
The same controller allows me to navigate through the launcher on a Nexus 7 connected the same way with nothing else installed and no root. I have also been able to navigate like this on the Moto G with a wired Xbox controller via USB.
I planned on mounting the Moto G on top of a PS3 controller, wired or wireless, has anyone got this working wired, or wireless wile rooted? I haven't rooted yet but will if this works.
I'm sure someone else out there owns a Moto G, PS3 controller, and an OTG cable, if anyone would be willing to give it a quick test I would be very grateful. :/
Ok after some testing I have discovered a few things.
1. The controller show up in the USB host controller app as a PS3 controller.
2. The first LED lights up like it is supposed to when trying to set it up with this app: Sixaxis Enabler
So it appears that apps can see and communicate with the controller to an extent, however I have not been able to use it successfully in anything like dead-trigger or emulators. Is it possible that the communication works but the implementation for it's input just isn't there in the ROM? Does Sixaxis controller have it's own implementation that will fix this if I pair it to Bluetooth?

Thanks for the info in your post! I've been trying to get it to work too. I have a question about rooting. I've rooted every android phone I've had up to this point and used Cyanogenmod. However, I really love how the Moto G has great support with rom updates and such. So can I root my Moto G without compromising the rom or any of this support?
No one has a Wii controller to test?
Anyone got PS3 working on Moto G via Bluetooth? I haven't tested yet 'cause I will only buy my Moto G tomorrow.

It´s just a few post back that you can pair it with Moto G, you have to root your device though.
I tried to paur it with my wiimote but as I sooon found out the wiimote is no longer supported since jellybean 4.2. Android developers modified the bluetooth stack and it dosn´t work anymore. AFAIK it doesn´t work on Kitkat either.
I would love to root my moto g right away. There are some minor software annoyances that could be easily fixed, but I´m afraid that I´d lose warranty
Does anybody have any recommendations for a Bluetooth GPS module compatible with Lollipop on a 2014 Moto X? Preferably Bluetooth 4.0 if available.
You may want to look at Dual Electronics.
I have the XGPS150A, that I use while hiking. I tested it on the original moto x and didn't have the best results. Using the Trimble Outdoors app I would lose GPS connection when the phone was locked. Same results using the built in GPS so figured it was just how the phone works. I haven't tested on my new moto x 2014. I do use it on a droid bionic with great results.
Has anyone been able to successfully use your MOGA controller (specifically the Power Pro) on Lollipop? After upgrading both my N5 and my Oneplus One to lollipop, my controller pairs, but won't control any games. In the settings for Dead Trigger 2, under game pad, it seems to think I have a keyboard attached and won't let me map any buttons. My ROM is SlimLP on both devices.
It's baconnn!

I emailed their support and this is their response:
"We're very sorry to hear of the troubles you've experienced with the MOGA Pivot app on the latest Lollipop update. We are currently working with our developers to resolve this issue, and should have a solution soon. We appreciate your patience.
Regards,
Customer Service"
Hopefully that's more than just a form later and means they are aware/admit there's a problem and are going to issue an update to fix it soon.

Bought a moga
Today I bought the moga pro 2.
It syncs in both A&B perfectly.
Then I opened a game.
I died because my controller didn't do anything except show it is synced.
So I tried with other games and all same problem then I researched and found this thread.
I'm assuming we have to wait for a new update or downgrade. ****. Well merry no mobile gaming christmas. Lol first world problems at its finest.
