DIY
The wiimote is really the most painless option. Only trouble is that the handset and the controller are seperate. Thats easily fixed with some bolts (see frankenmote.jpg) and a pice of Acrillic with some rubber bands /see wiimote_n1.png).
I recommend a Drill press for drilling through the Wiimote. That way the holes go nice and straight through.
I guess in a pinch one could use nails or maybe some long woodscrews instead of bolts.

The nunchucks are now compatible too, it looks so beautifully in Super Mario Advance.
I just prop the phone against something and I get in a comfortable position. Then it's game on! I was very surprised at how responsive and reliable it is.

Would this work for other phones? X10?

My god I totally forgot about the Wii Classic control, this would be so much better then the regular Wii controller IMO!

Wii Classic Controller is the BOMB
I use this program with my nexus one and a Nyko Wiimote, and a classic controller pro. It is the best damn set up I have ever gamed with. The only controller I could see doing a better job is the dualshock 2.
So to sum up;
Off Brand WiiMotes do work (used at GS w/EDGE card is cheap)
Classic controllers are the most nostalgic and perfect way to play your old SNES games. Can't wait for Joystick control, and maybe some PS emulation!

Hi, I'm the developer of the WiimoteController.
Read the first 3 posts in my thread. You'll learn alot about what is supported and where.

Gameklip...for easy gaming with a PS3 controller

If your phone is rooted, it's really easy to use the sixaxis app in the market to connect a PS3 controller to the phone using bluetooth.
Problem is, this phone has to be connected with sixaxis's "method 2" which means you can't also use another bluetooth device at the same time. Most wouldn't need to, but if you use bluetooth headphones this is a factor...you'll get audio from the emulator and music just fine, but you'll need to connect your headphones through the headphone jack instead.
Anyways, the other problem is you need to set your phone down in order to use the controller.
Enter the gameklip! Yeah I'm totally giving them a free plug, and it's not exactly new, but the current version of it is new, and since it's been improved a little and not mentioned here, I figured I'd make a post.
Just got mine in the mail today, works like a charm, even with my phone that is *NOT* rooted. Since my phone is not currently rooted I bought the wired version (same klip, just that it also includes the appropriate cable to connect the phone to a ps3 controller, it's basically a USB to go cable with the end being the 5pin mini instead of what other USB to go cables are.
It's worth noting the actual klip itself is identical from wireless to wired versions.
Since there is not a klip specifically for our phone (and I wouldn't think it would be likely for there to be one in the future, we buy the case mount version...basically the klip attaches to a case with that 3m adhesive. Sturdy enough, but don't use it as a weapon or anything!
Anyways, it works great in Snesoid and Nesoid without any rooting, and with *NO* other software requirement. All you have to do is go into the key settings for Snesoid, select the appropriate button you want to change, and press the button you want to do the action on your controller. All buttons works, and yes, even the analog sticks will.
Works great! It's a bit large to carry around since it's the size of a PS3 controller + a phone case on top of it, but I plan to just leave it at my desk at work as that's the only place I'd use it.
Anyways, if you sometimes get the craving for some old style games and don't want to spend all the cash for a PSP or something, I can say this works wonderfully. I am especially impressed with how durable the cable seems and the robustness of the packaging.
The one thing I will say is I'd really recommend getting a TPU style case....most of the hard plastic ones are too difficult to remove the phone from the case, and I'd be willing to bet the softer silicone style cases might be adhesive resistant.

They even take paypal, which I find amusing

Which MHL cable?

Hi, i want to connect my Xperia Z to my TV and i bought a MHL cable, however this one doesn't work.
It's 5 pin but not an adapter. Just a cable one side MHL other side HDMI.
Anyone know which one works? The one from the sony website is a little expensive it's around €30,-
Thanks

For some reason (which I don't know), it needs extra power, I bought this a while ago:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181157935396
and works like a charm! Doesn't work with USB-OTG, only power plus screen.
Alstu !

Thanks all i bought the one from ebay.

Hello all,
Would this cable work?

I like that it's long enough to keep my phone in hand without having to be close to the TV.
Thanks

do these work for z1 too?

Ordered from ebay and will come next month. Thanks dude.

Root?
Dumb question time.. I read on some of the ebay pages selling the cables saying something like 'do not support the phone has root rom' - does this mean rooted phones won't work?

Startech Not compatible
I just purchased Startech Passive 3m MHL Cable. I tried it on two different TVs and it was not funtioning for my Xperia Z. Fortunately I have reciept and can return. Thanks to the other posts, Skiva looks like the best options. Other adapter systems fail during gaming, as they flicker OFF during gaming movements. Maybe now with the Sony Z, i should just get the Dualshock 3 and avoid that issue all together.

Good VR Headset

What is a good VR headset for this phone? I am looking at this one in particular: http://www.amazon.com/PASONOMI-H-B-...ue&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A2SBT3E4YYUGG8

I'd like to know as well. I tried a HooToo 3D VR headset on my 6P with not much success.

So what makes it good? Serious question. I'm really interested but don't know much about it. Prices range dramatically but what justifies the higher price tags? (resolution? gameplay? build quality?)
Btw--this specific pair is on amazon for a little more money but a much shorter delivery time.

I second the Bobo Z4. Comfortable, adjustable lenses for spectacle wearers like me, and pupil distance adjustment, earphones.

Is it this one on Amazon? Right price?
https://www.amazon.com/Xiaozhai-Hea...01EBR8YKU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
What controller works best with this and the 6P? Do you plug the 6P into the headset, via the USB-C port, or just connect the headphone only?

It comes with a bluetooth controller. You plug the 3.5mm audio jack on the headset into the phone. Also you can find it for cheaper on eBay. I got mine for 29 USD.

Thanks. The Amazon reviews say the controller is not good. Is it good in your experience, working with Nexus 6p?

what about procus vr??

Using external keyboard for fire HD 10 tablet

I am thinking of adding a keyboard for my fire HD 10 tablet 2017.
I am thinking of two options.
1. Bluetooth keyboard
https://www.amazon.com/Arteck-HB030...pID=51K3rbjy8rL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
2. using my Logitech K400 keyboard. It has a unifying reciever. I am thinking of buying a OTG adapter reader.
https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adap...qid=1519484873&sr=1-18&keywords=micro+usb+hub
I am thinking I can connect the unifying reciever to it, and that way I can use my keyboard, (which has an included trackapad) on the fire tablet.
My question is :
1. Will the unifying receiver K400 combo work?
2. Will the trackpad works (does it show an arrow?)
3. Should i just get the Bluetooth keyboard instead, and how the Bluetooth connectivity?, (no dongle , no mouse
4. Any Bluetooth keyboard anyone would like to recommend??
Thank you.

I got this for my dad's 10": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GIZHR2A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My review and pictures are under the review titled "Great value". I haven't had any issues with it (neither has my dad) and the keyboard feels pretty close to a full size layout.

I've been able to use a Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in trackpad with my HD 8 on 5.6.0.1.
I've also been able to use a separate USB mouse and keyboard simultaneously with an OTG cable and a USB hub. If the receiver works on another device (e.g. laptop), then it should work with an OTG cable.
If you carry around your tablet different places a lot, just go all Bluetooth if you can.

I'd suggest going Bluetooth as well. You can get cases with keyboards built in that connect via micro usb really cheaply, but they are more aggravation then they are worth. I bought one for my mom's 8" HD and I could instantly tell that bluetooth was the better option. I wound up buying a Logitech Type-V case for an Ellipsis 8 (because it was only $8 at Walmart), made some adjustments and so far so good.

I bought a Bluetooth XTREME keyboard at a National Wholesale Liquidators store in the NYC area a few weeks ago. They were about to be sold out. It was selling for $12, with no refunds. Took a chance on it, and it works perfectly with my 2017 fire hd 10. My tablet is attached to the FINTIE case.

Nice! Glad that worked out for you. I'm an Long Islander- there's a National Wholesale Liquidators a few towns away. I'll have to drop in when I get a chance

Bluetooth keyboard.
I bought (in Lidls) a SilverCrest keyboard for £15 which works very well.

I don't think that the USB dongle would work, mainly because Android is using a VERY similar kernel to Linux (almost identical) which is why we have SuperUser hacks.
Linux requires the use of drivers to do really anything, but Android isn't Linux and doesn't have any native driver support.
Best bet is to use a Bluetooth keyboard, and don't worry there is literally no latency. It works amazing.

It also works on my mom's HD8, apparently. That being said, the keyboard and USB dongle were already paired on my PC

I recently got a new Logitech 9-10" Tablet Keyboard Case Universal Folio since I got another Fire HD 10 on Prime day. It's not worth the retail price or the $32 Amazon is asking for it since it doesn't fit the tablet perfectly- the grips will apply pressure to the volume or power switch. I put a few pieces of foam on the grips to prevent that from happening and it works well enough. I got it new for $18 from a seller on Ebay. They have 9 more if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-9...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I actually had a Logitech Ultra thin Bluetooth Keyboard that was for the iPad 2 packed away and it actually works very well with my Fire HD 10 (2017). I use it with Office and WordPress.

anything like this?
Is anything like this type https://www.brydge.com/products/brydge-10-5-ipad-pro-keyboard available for the hd 10?

Not that I know of. I wouldn't be surprised if a generic equivalent was around for Android tablets but you will have to make sure of the dimensions.

I have the Logitech K400 and have the Unifying Receiver plugged into a OTG USB cable. My Fire 10 will not open the onboard keyboard with it plugged in, but neither will it record keystrokes from the K400. Not sure what the problem is.
