Xbox 360 controller

Hello! I recently purchased my new nexus 7 and though it would be a good investment to buy a rockcandy xbox 360 controller seeing as they are much cheaper then official xbox 360 controllers... Only problem is once I got my OTG cable and plugged it in, loaded up GTA and I found that the right trigger is constantly being activated... At first I though it might be the controller so I plugged it into my xbox and it worked perfectly, so then I changed the OTG cable thinking it was at fault, but no luck! Did anyone ever use a rock candy xbox360 controller on their nexus or any android device and manage to get it working?
P.S: I prefer to stay unrooted... Although if there is an easy solution I will be willing to root my device!

Game Controllers

What are you guys and gals using as far as gaming controllers. I have a PS3 and Xbox One controller at home. Just wondering if either can be easily used with the Tab S. Just purchased Modern Combat 5. So far I've played it on the G3 and Nvidia Shield.

controller recharges the tablet
is it possible to connect the controller (that has a battery pack) to the tablet and recharge the tablet?
eg. can a xbox one controller, that has a battery pack, be connected with an mhl cable/usb cable to a tablet and be used to charge the tablet?

Finally figured it out...just in time for my trip!
I ended up buying the Red Samurai controller from Gamestop for $15.
I am able to connect and use with retroarch. Just needed to install the free app, Bluez IME. Takes a bit of configuring but once it's set, the controller works flawlessly.
The app and retroarch even has a reconfigured profile for the controller.

Great suggestion. I'm thinking buy the Moga Pro but this is cheaper and it is more similar with PS controller.
Can you tell me if you can play in emulators such as the PSP emulator?

Has anyone tried an original xbox wireless controller with the receiver connected to the usb (via adapter)? The receiver seems to has power,
but the controller wont connect. PS3 controller works though.

my xbox controller doesnt work, as others have said. so how would I go about getting a ps3 controller to work? is it a wired one and can i pick up any cheap ps3 controller?

The sixaxis app does recognize my ps3 controller (afaik there are only wireless with optional cable), but only with cable plugged in. Bluetooth does not work, though the controller
has the right master adress.
Ok the problem seems to be the pairing. If paired from the tablet, it wont work... if paired from the pc, it works.

see I know sod all about the ps3 pad, I dont even know what pairing on the PC means or how you would set it up...

Hello!
Did anyone connect SteelSeries Free controller to the Tab S? I'm thinking about getting one and I would like to make sure that it will work.

Trying to pair red samurai wireless tablet controller with my tab s
the bluetooth can see the device, but when i select it to pair the device with my tablet, it asks me to confirm the PIN code for the device, which is displayed when i select to pair. But it fails to pair every time because I don't see any dialog box or anything pop up to enter the PIN code to pair successfully.

red samurai controller (GameStop)
Using the red samurai controller with all playstore emulators works well but with a little lag between button press and action.
BTW GameStop has it for 8 bucks and the tab recognizes it via Bluetooth no problem

The PS3 controller is the best way to go for me...
I bought the red samurai for $8 also just to play emulators..
The controller paid with no problems and I was able to map all the keys but the lag from button press to In game action was unbareable
The PS3 was fussy to set up but it's more 1to1 responsive..

If you are using the red samurai v2 you do not need blue imz, it should just work.. or at least it does for me. I also have not noticed any input lag even vs a usb controller I was using over usb otg until I decided I wanted to be able to charge and use a controller at the same time. I have also used the same red samurai v2 on my win 8.1 htpc just for testinf and it paired right away and worked with near 0 input lag.

Im just using sixaxis controller

Actually from what I know all of the Moga besides the Pocket one should work. As long as it has the Mode B.

Does anyone know how to put the playpad pro controller into player no 2? When i connect two controllers with bluetooth they both control player 1. The manual doesnt say how to switch to player two, nor could i find anything about it online.

i havent tested two controllers on the nvdia shield tablet but i had the same issue on my FireTV, you have to purchase an official controller so it can be read as the second controller correctly.

I'm using the Moga Pocket, it works well. Tested on Dead Trigger 2 and various racing games, will test on Trine 2, and other Nvidia Controller enhanced games later when I get off work.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. OUYA controller works just fine; confirmed by me
It just doesn't work out of the box, you have to have root and the attached file to the keylayouts folder. Don't forget to change permissions to rw-r--r--
The only problem is that there is no start button. May be someone can manipulate the file into making the big U button press start.

I've given in an ordered the Nvidia controller.
OK been using sixaxis app and ps3 controller with some success, although come across some issues. Half Life 2 seems to work but its a bit odd. The D pad works fine to select in the main menu but not in the sub menus, also the other problem is there appears to be no way of changing weapons which is an issue after picking up a gun there's no way of getting through wood blocking door ways. Anyone got a fix?

I stand corrected, thank you ahmadshawki.
1.) Root Device, Install Root Explorer
2.) Download Vendor_2836_Product_0001.kl
3.) place Vendor_2836_Product_0001.kl in /system/usr/keylayout/ in Nvidia Shield
4.) set permissions on kl to rw-r--r--
5.) Reboot Shield Tablet, needed for kl file to take affect.
6.) Put Ouya Controller in pair mode and pair with tablet
7.) Done

should just be an otg cable.

I am using the Nyko Playpad Pro

I purchased this controller from Tmart, a ChiCom, and made sure it was shipping from one of their US warehouses. Otherwise, it will take 4 to 12 weeks for delivery, due to customs. It arrived in under a week.
It works great with an OTG cable. I played Bard's Tale from start to finish with this controller, mirroring the screen on my TV. It's got a 9 foot long cable or so. My only real complaint with it is that the headphone jack in the bottom is non-functional, they even made it too small to insert a headphone jack into. Otherwise, it works just fine. All the buttons function well with solid feedback, none of them are mushy. The large X button in the center functions as the home button and the right stick controls a mouse when you are at your homescreen. I'd prefer the left stick control the mouse but I can live with the right stick doing it.

Game Controller???

Hello all,
I have a stock, non-rooted N6P. I've never attempted to play heavy gaming on it. I was wondering if I wanted to add a controller to play some games that may require it what would I need? A controller that I can add and remove, would allow me to play games better as I have bigger hands. Any help is appreciated!!
Figured this was the appropriate section to ask since the controller stuff would be accessories.

I use my PS4 controller for gaming on my 6P if you have the right cables and controller it recognizes it as a gamepad.

PS4 is the cheapest option if you already have a PS4 controller.
I have the Moga controller. It's a good controller. I play Modern Combat 5 a lot with it.

That's all because they both are Bluetooth. You can also use a (Xbox 360 or one, Steam, and etc) Controller if you don't mine using a otg cable. But do note that not all games work with an controller or may need you to map the controller out properly.

It's either a PS4 or Moga or whatever is out there. With a PS4 controller, you will need a clip that attaches from your controller to hold your phone, ps4 controller and USB C to Micro USB cable and that's it.
Or just a Moga controller and Bluetooth and its all set. Both are the same price if you do not have a PS4 controller.
I have both and I like the PS4 controller but the cable and the clip cost roughly $25ish and I got the Moga for $10 on Black Friday but if it wasn't on sale then PS4 controller would be my option.

Originally I tried connecting it via bluetooth using the Sixaxis Pair Tool but the controls where really laggy and not really functional. But with a wired connection going directly from the 6P to the controller it works perfectly.

MOGA Gamepads
What model of the MOGA gamepad have you guys gotten to work? I just tried with my MOGA Pocket and it won't pair with my 6P. Has anyone gotten the Pocket to work?

http://www.amazon.com/POWER-MOGA-Pro-Electronic-Games-Game/dp/B00FB5RBJM
Moga Power Pro.
It's $49.99 now so it's not a bad deal of you do not have a PS4 controller. A PS4 controller is already $50. Then cables and clip are about $15. What I like about the Moga is it works great and it can charge your phone too.

I don't think the PS4 can be mapped. Also for the cable. You need a Micro USB to USB-C. Cannot use a OTG or it won't communicate.
The Moga has a nice clip. I just put the phone on and its all set. Doesn't affect the volume buttons unless it's the Google Adopted case which we all know it sucks.
It has this rubber grip film on it and it has a light spring tension on it. Enough to hold the phone but not adjust the volume.

For using a controller can you use a PS3 remote? Just curious because a family member has one laying around that they're not using.

I wouldn't mind a decent controller for my 6P, though I don't really want to use a wired connection.
I have a Gamestick controller (ingot the whole lot for £20) and it works OK, but obviously no clip.
Anyone know of any good alternatives to Moga that are similar? Seem to be hadd to get in the Uk.

You could also try a UtorCase for a handheld experience https://www.shapeways.com/product/ZEHXUVT25/ps4-controller-huawei-nexus-6p
xbox and nvidia controller mounts are available as well.

Dextop setup...

Starting a thread to see what kind of kooky and cool ideas peeps have come up with for their setup.
I just bought another Logitech MX570 trackball mouse. My 3rd. I like to go back and forth between traditional mice (MX Performance) and trackball so I don't get carpal tunnel and tendonitis. I'm up in the air about the dedicated keyboard. I will probably get the Logitech K800 as that has been my favorite so far. I would like to try the Craft but too expensive.
I know many of you are just going straight usb-c to HDMI adapter and using Bluetooth accessories. Those are welcome too. It would be really nice if Logitech came out with a sweet sweet keyboard with touchpad built in. There are a couple but the cheap one is just that, cheap and low quality. I bought my mom the K400 and it works fine for her but not for me. Logitech needs to step up their game on a keyboard with touchpad built in.
I am also using Logitech because of the unifying receiver so only USB port is taken for 2 accessories. Have not decided on a USB thumb drive yet.
What setups are you running for productivity with DEX? Please share so there is a thread peeps (that actually use the search function) can come and see what options there are to fit their workflow. Or haven't thought of.
I will update later today see if my USB controllers work for emulators and what the latency is, which I am hoping is just as good as mouse input. I was expecting critical latency that would make the experience bad.
Anybody try with a USB powered monitor yet?

I'm sorry, but..... pics or it didn't happen, right?

I invested in this dex stuff just as a hobby. I already have 4 pc’s plus a laptop and an iPad Pro 12.9 i carry with me daily.
I passed on it with the note 8 but thought to give it a go the note 9.
I also use the mxperformance mouse for my pcs but i picked up a jelly comb foldable portable wireless keyboard. It has a click-style mouse pad and the keypad is pleasant to use. I also picked up the dex pad , hdmi 2.0b latest spec hdmi cable.
I guess a good way to use this setup will be when I download films to the device. Rather than copy the file over to the pc, i can just connect the dex to the display and have better flexibility.

I found the jelly comb folding keyboard to be crap. Double characters everywhere. Moved to a generic wireless mouse on one of the USB ports and an MS folding BT keyboard. It's replaced my work laptop for 80% of tasks. Oh and powering the HDMI adapter by a Nintendo switch USB C power supply as it kicks out 2.6A which is enough to charge the phone at the same time.

I probably won't post a pic (if I even remember) until Friday or Saturday. I think I will try using it one day and a USB 3 thumb drive. I think DEX only supports USB 2 though. Another missed opportunity by Samsung to make this an even better pseudo desktop experience. Did Sammy use 3 or 3.1 for their USB C? Having two or even one USB 3 A port would've been sweet for local storage. Between a Logitech unifying receiver and a SanDisk UltraFit USB 3 drive and you're talking one smaller desktop.
Samsung could make some corny commercials pitting it against Intel NUC boxes like their Apple commercials. ???

Hi guys I have my dex set up, however I'm looking for a Bluetooth keyboard my monitor only has an hdmi, vga connection so I need advice on what will be my best option maybe I should get a cable with a USB receiver for an wireless keyboard any inputs are welcomed thanks.

I'm using my Note9 with Dex running on HP X3 lap dock. Great setup for travel but also when I need to edit things locally on the phone----tasker for example. Everything works on the lap dock including sound. Track pad works but could be better.

Woah, you have a working sound for hp elite? Is there any special way to get it?

I had picked up a DeX dock from Amazon for 60 bucks. I used a logitech anywhere BT mouse and the blue BT keyboard. Mouse and keyboard work great. Resolution looks crappy, seem kinda blurry for a 1080p screen. Still needs work, I was hoping to get the DeX working good enough to use as a htpc streamer for my living room TV. Still fun to play around with tho.
Sent from my Samsung SM-N960U1 using XDA Labs

does DeX work with any cheap HDMI to usb C adapter that supports 4k and 60 Hz? There are some on eBay for 7 bucks

dex output is crystal clear for me. I have used this on an lg 4K 27 inch monitor and my old school plasma Panasonic 3D display from 2011
I have a late spec hdmi 2.0b cable and again the resolution is not blurry at all. Plenty of videos on the web to also show the clarity .
Yes dex works with a regular hdmi spec cable usb c to hdmi. I have also used dex with just a cable (waiting on the pad tho show up)

What happens when incoming call?
Hi. Not sure where to post this. Thinking of jumping from iPhone to Note9
Can somebody tell me if I will be able to use the Note9 as a normal handset with an incoming call? (While in Dex). Everything I see indicates the acutal Note9 runs independent when docked but I can't find any example of making/receiving a call on one.
I want to use a USB extension cable and just be able to use the phone like normal when connected to Dex. Not sure what happens to the audio if I'm also using external speakers via Dex.
Thanks!

I've received several phone calls when on DeX.. Since I'm working in a personal room, I'm just answering the phone calls using speakerphone.. If you're using external speaker, the audio will be routed there (I once used my UE Boom 2 speaker for answering call)

thanks.
I know I'm still connected to Dex via a USB-C extension cable but I'd like to be able to just pick up the phone and use it "privately" like normal. Is that possible?
I believe something changed with the Note9 making it work differently with Dex.

If you're using USB-C to monitor, in my experience, you can just answer phone normally on phone
