Hello,
I am trying to connect my Wireless Xbox 360 controller to my Samsung Galaxy S3 with an USB-OTG adapter. It doesn't work though. When I try to connect the controller to the dongle, the lights on the controller just keeps flashing.
- When I plug the dongle into my phone, a notification saying a USB-connector is connected appears, but quickly disappears.
- When I plug the USB-OTG adapter out of my phone, a notification saying a USB connector is disconnected appears.
- I have followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531 and downloaded both files, both put them into the right folders and run the script.
Still, my phone does not recognize any input from my controller. Can anybody help me with this?

good day to everyone. firstly, i would like to thank you for having the time to read my post.
well basically heres my inquiry, my unit is the alcatel tab t10. i never had any problems with it until recently, my device's usb port suddenly stops working.
tried unchecking the usb debug mode, tried checking it but to no avail, the usb still does not work. it doesnt seem to connect to my laptop. tried changing the cable.
i also tried connecting my device to my brothers laptop.
correct me if im wrong, but when the usb fails to connect to any laptop, their should be a notification in the laptop that the device is not recognized. but in my condition, no notification shows up. its like my device does not really connect at all.
oh and if it helps, i bought an otg cable before it started malfunctioning. but the only thing i had conneceted to my device is a wired mouse and a wired generic gamepad, which both seems to be working perfectly fine.
also, if i connect my device to a wired mouse, it would work perfecly fine. i could also connect to a usb flash drive, that is via the otg cable.
so whats weird is that the usb cable does not work, but the otg cable works fine.
if you have any question or any suggestion , i would truly appreciate it.
Hmm.....well the good thing is the port itself isn't "dead" as you can still utilize it for OTG. My only suggestion is make a backup of all your apps and data and try a factory reset.

thank you for the suggestion guitarman2010. unfortunately my usb port isnt still working. i also reflashed my device's current firware. but still wasnt the solution i was looking for. i was just wondering if there is a directory under the root folder that holds the devices usb driver? would it be possible that the device's driver itself got deleted? i wam still at awe that the otg cable still works like a charm.
and another thing, is the male usb pin the same with the flash drive's pin? cause if i connect the usb cable to the otg cable it wont work, but the flash drive works normally.
sorry for the amount of question im posting
thank you very much for the suggestion. especially when u told me that the port itself wsnt dead. i can now breathe easier..
and future suggestion and advice would be appreciated.
do you guys know how to access the phoneutil in tablet? maybe i should change the usb option to pda? but i heard that its only applicable to samsung 4.0.3 devices? suggestions are appreciated.
Hi I made this thread to find out how I can get USB OTG to work. I have cm 11 s3 mini and want to control my phone by a remote and plug ? flash drives in but have no idea how this works. Also if you could provide a link for a USB OTG cable it would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Hi
Its just plug and play. You plug in the USB OTG cable to the phone's micro USB port and on the other end its a female USB port (the same like in your laptop or pc). So you just put in a pen drive and it will get detected on its own. You can open a file manager app and access it, or you can access it directly from any of your other apps (for example if you use MX player for seeing videos then the pen drive videos will automatically load up in the app as well).
To control your phone remotely I am guessing you mean keyboard/mouse?
If you plug in a mouse, a cursor shows up the next second and you have a working mouse. Same with a keyboard, works on its own. If you want to use both together, you need a wireless keyboard and mouse so that you can plug in the dongle to the otg cable, and then both the keyboard and mouse will instantly start working.
If you have a PS3 controller you can even connect that to your phone and use it to play many games - but this does not work via plug and play, you need to follow instructions to set this up and you can search on xda or google for that.
If you search USB OTG on amazon or ebay you will find loads of places to buy it from in your country.

I'm trying to get my Xbox 360 wireless controller and wireless receiver (Chinese knockoff that works perfect on PC) I had laying around to work with my OPO. Sadly this has been harder then I expected. I have ran into the following problem. After I reboot my phone and the receiver is connected through a OTG USB cable, my controller is connected to my OPO and I can move in menus and play a SNES game for example. The problem however is that this connection remains for a very short amount of time, it seems that the phone stops seeing the USB device that is connected. When trying other USB devices this problem does not occur, I tried a USB stick and a USB mouse. Once the connection is lost the only way to regain connection is to reboot the phone.
I have no idea why this is happening
I've tried many settings and tested a lot of stuff:
I followed the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531
I also messed around with other product ID settings related to xbox 360 controllers: http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
On my Windows 7 PC I used USBview.exe to see with which ID the receiver/controller combination was identified which was: 045e 0291 (Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows)
I used the app USB Device Info to see if my OPO was detecting anything via the OTG cable. As mentioned above after a few seconds ~ < 1min it just disappears.
I've searched in general with Google and specifically on XDA and the OPO forums but I've not found a similar problem with regards to the disconnection problem.
Anyway, if someone here has experience with wireless xbox 360 controller on the OPO or USB devices that disappear. Help would be appreciated!
I think I might have found why this will not work correctly, the default kernel of the OPO doesn't have xpad.ko.
Alex240188 said:
The problem is that there are no drivers for the Xbox 360 control pad.
You need xpad.ko for the controller to work and ff-memless.ko for the vibrators.
Unfortunately these have to be built for the kernel you are running and as far as I know nobody has built any for the nexus 5 yet

This OPO kernel has xpad.ko included, I might check it out and see what happens.

Phone Details:
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
Model: SM-G928I
Unrooted (default rom)
Android 6.0.1 (updated via the phone after)
Issue:
Recently tried to play some emulated N64 games using a PS4 controller and the Bluetooth connection was laggy with a delay. I bought a controller attachment to mount my phone to the controller and a micro usb to micro usb OTG cable. I have tried plugging the phone into the PS4 controller and there seems to be no connection or control (pressed all the buttons and nothing happened).
I would prefer to get the cable method working for delay-less control and that is uses less power than Bluetooth
Any help to get the cable method working?
