Hi everyone. I really tried to do my due diligence on this before I posted. Everything I've read seems to indicate that ICS can pair PS3 controllers natively, with no need for the Sixaxis Android app, and no need for rooting. But I simply have no succeeded in doing so. I was trying with an older controller from the first generation of PS3s, and though that perhaps it was too old, so I went out and dropped $60 on a new official Sony Sixaxis Dual Shock 3, and I'm still have no luck. I have tried plugging the controller in by USB to the dock first, because some people seemed to indicate that that would help the two devices pair better. And while plugged in by USB, it works fine, I can map the buttons in emulators and use them with no problem. But when I unplug the control pad, hit the Sony button in the middle, and let the TF700 search for devices, it never finds my controller. It's found a Wiimote with no problem, but then of course it wants a pin, and that's its own problem. It's even found my Xperia Play on bluetooth, so I know it's not the bluetooth hardware. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Sixaxis obviously won't work since there's no root method. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I couldn't connect my ps3 controller to my galaxy nexus without sixaxis. With root and sixaxis it worked immediatly.

There is in fact a root method (look for debugfs, don't have the link handy), I use sixaxis and have my PS3 controller paired to my Infinity the day I got it.
I was able to use my PS3 Sixaxis controller on my TF101 with ICS (via bluetooth), but not on the TF700 for some reason.... It only seems to work while cabled (with the TF101, after using it for a minute as a "wired" controller, it automatically paired itself via bluetooth - after the first minute, you didn't need the cable anymore... Not sure why it doesn't work on the TF700. Strange...

It seems like (for whatever reason) Asus did not include the drivers for Ps3 controller in TF700. On my Prime and OG TF, it would automatically pair after using it once over USB. Not a big issues though as I had already purchased Sixxas app.
SixAxis app works great to connect the PS3 controller to the device, but it does *not* satisfy all requirements that the built-in drivers that other tablets and CM9 does. For example, I am an OnLive subscriber and the PS3 controller does not work whatsoever with SixAxis. However, I can plug it in via USB, or use a Xbox360 controller and they work great. This isn't a HUGE issue at the moment, but I did have dreams of having multiple Ps3 controllers and plugging the 700 in to my 60" on occasion. I have also found that when using the PS3 controller even with SixAxis' gamepad emulation, it often doesn't allow the right analog stick to function. At the moment, this is working much worse than on my TF101 w/ CM9 on it.

I wish I could run OnLive here in my country, because as far as I can tell, the app should behave exactly the same with OnLive when the 'Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Enable Gamepad' option is enabled. Evidently there are some differences that are causing issues. I'm not sure what problem you're having with the right analog stick, but you should ensure that you don't have any touch profiles enabled when in native gamepad mode, as they will override the gamepad inputs.
Can we expect Asus to resolve this (Bluetooth built-in connection) along with JB?

Don't get your hopes up.
About the only "viable" way I could see ASUS doing this would be if they made and marketed their OWN controller that could also be used with teh PS3 systems. But that would be still a limited market and would not be financially viable for them.
Well I thought I let you guys know pairing PS3 via the dock is working Idk if it's jellybean or clean room 2.3 feature but I have out working so far, check it out

Works also with stock JB.
Confirmed JB works
Just confirming that the JB update includes the drivers to use the SIXAXIS controller. I just got my TF700 and it wouldn't even detect the controller in ICS in the bluetooth menu, but it did respond when it was plugged in via USB.
Just updated to JB and plugged in the controller. As soon as I turned it on it added the controller to the paired devices list in the bluetooth menu and now it works flawlessly!
Cheers
Sorry People, I try to find help and found not similar to this question, so here it is (I have posted on Kernel Topics but no answer):
I have a PS3 Controller taking dust on my desk, so I tried to connect it to my XL, right now I'm using Phantom Kernel on it's last version.
I saw in his thread that it's possible to install the PS3 module, but how does it work? May I need to use some application like SixAxis from store to connect my controller, or using this module can I connnect it only using bluetooth and turning on the controller in pair mode?
Or do I need to connect using the cable and after use it?
Please if anyone could clarify this for me :laugh:
Hello one & all,
I hope someone out their can help me, I am using a Nexus 7 the 2012 version and am having fun trying to get my bluetooth mouse working with it again. I inanvertantly changed the setting in the paired device section so that a bluetooth mouse is not seen as an input device and my the mouse is listed within the available devices section but I can not pair the device. I know that the bluetooth mouse still works as I have tried it on other hardware.
My Nexus 7 is not yet rooted and I am not sure it rooting it would reset the correct bit of the system to once again alow me to your the bluetooth mouse.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Hello,
The device is Tronsmart MK908II, wireless keyboard is this: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6271301163.html
The problem is that there is a lag between the keyboard commands and the response of the device. For example as you wiggle your finger on the touchpad on the keyboard, cursor on the TV screen does not reflect correctly and on time, and the same with keystrokes. Especially if the distance between me and the TV stick is more than one meter is almost impossible to perceive commands.
At first I thought it was the keyboard, but after I connected it to the computer, I saw that it works absolutely perfectly, even from a distance of 5-6 meters, there is no delay when you press buttons. Unfortunately, not so with the tv stic... Pls tell me what to do ??? The device has the last Android 4.2.2 version, there is no newest at the moment. Does it need to install a program to respond better wireless keyboards? The keyboard come without software, just plug and play.
Help pls!
Keyboards are a drama! I use droidmote to control my sticks via tablet or phone. The stick needs to be rooted and you install a serverapp on it which you connect to via Wi-Fi from your client app on your other devices. Once working I ditch my keyboard.

I fixed the problem! I use a different port on the device, which is micro USB. Use transitions and include in it the keypad transmitter. Apparently the standard USB does not have enough power to supply it correctly.
Nice catch! Thanks for the update

Thread subject : Connecting a Dualshock 3 on my LG G3
Hello everyone,
I' m asking you some help because this is a very specific problem. I'm already thanking you for taking the time to read my post and for trying to help me. Sorry for my student's level of English and if some syntax sentences aren't great.
What I try to do is controlling a drone (especially the Bebop Drone from parrot) with a Dualshock 3 controller from Sony.
In order to control the Drone I must launch the app called Freeflight 3.
What I'm trying to do is to control the Drone via my controller connected to my LG G3 device in Bluetooth.
In a first attempt I tried Sixaxis controller which didn't worked well with the app (this method used to work well on ancient app for the AR Drone). The drone had bad rotations, slow responses and my Android device was almost burning.
Then in a second attempt I bought an OTG cable with a femal USB. In that way I was able to connect and control my drone perfectly with my PS3 controller.
The app and the controller work fluently together.
But when I'm trying to disconnect the cable and to power on my controller (went off when disconnect) my LG G3 pop up a message that says :
DUALSHOCK 3 trying to connect on the device. Please enter the Pin code from your Bluetooth device.
I don't have this pin code. Is there a pin attributed by default to PS3 Controllers ?
I tried 0000 and 1234 but that was wrong so I'm not able to connect my controller by Bluetooth on my LG G3 device.
Thank you for your help
PS : I know you're not a lot on IOS but if someone knows how to connect my PS3 controller on a IPad by Bluetooth I will be very happy to learn that.
