[Q]Android not communicating with Dual Shock 4 controller using OTG cable and Sixaxis - General Questions and Answers

So I have a rooted Samsung Note Pro 12.2 and I am trying to get my DS4 controller to work on it.
So I tried connecting the controller through Bluetooth. It sees the device but won't connect. Then I tried using the OTG cable and still no luck.
So just now I bought the Sixaxis app but it says no controller found (even though the controller is plugged in with the OTG cable).
What is going on?? I have tried 2 different OTG cables, 2 different mini USB to regular cables. I thought since I am using a OTG cable I don't need the Sixaxis app.
Please help

Maybe you need a usb 3 adaptor to get it working, just like for charging.

I'd be interested to see if works through the dock to see if its a driver issue or an issue using an adapter through the charging cable. Does the charge port output any power?
Are the lights on the controller on or off?

Lights are on when plugged in. I will have to try it with an USB3 cable tonight.

Wait... this is still not clear from your answers. Are you using:
A) Wireless X360 controller attached to USB via the Plug and Play charge kit
B) Wired X360 controller
If you are using A, you cannot communicate to the device via the USB connection. That is for charging only. No control signals can pass to the controller using that connection.
If you are using B there should be no cable to replace since the wired controller is hardwired.
to my understanding, only a true wired 360 controller will work. the wireless through plug and play or windows dongle will not work. i can attest to that as i've tried both with no luck.
The windows wireless dongle works on rhe xoom. I don't see why it doesn't work on my asus
I have the true wired controller and used that female adapter from amazon and it didn't work at all.

I have a wired Xbox360 controller and it doesn't work on the TF101.
I have the keyboard dock and 3.1.
When plugged in, the green lights flash but it's not picked up in any apps as an input method.
I think the 360 support may be broken.

+1 My wired 360 controller does not work when plugged into my dock with 3.1. However, my PS3 controller with attached usb cable does work
i have tried 2 generic usb contols from GAME, both light up and are powered, but neither show any input in any apps or games.
has anyone here got any game control to work yet?
this is a bug with the transformer
wired 360 controllers work with the xoom. this is an asus bug.
please report it to asus by calling them:
http://service.asus.com/callus.html
or emailing them:
http://vip.asus.com/eservice/techserv.aspx
as of now they're not even acknowledging this. the only way to get it fixed is to get it some visibility by reporting it.
You need to make sure your using a keybiard dock and are running updated stock asus firmware/Rom and the xbox controller is fully wired, the detatchable usb charging wire is only for charging, my wired madcatz controller will work natively while my wireless controller pluged in with the usb cable will not

[Q] Is it possible to both charge and use usb keyboard through OTG adapter?

I'm planning on buying OTG adapter to use usb keyboard/gamepad etc. But is it possible to both charge GTab 2 10.1 and use some usb device if said OTG adapter has multiple usb ports?
Anyone? Help, please :crying:
I know of no such device that will allow for charging and USB keyboard. You may be able to hook up multiple USB devices but no voltage will be passed back to the tablet.
My personal recommendation is to charge via USB and use a bluetooth keyboard. I also recommend patience with the forums.

This may be one of the needed pieces. I use it to connect a 1TB Seagate potable drive. I have seen some hubs but the reviews are not encouraging.

Have you considered Bluetooth. My MS keyboard and mouse connect fine as my Logitech tablet specific ones. I imagine there are BT game controllers too.

PS3 controller comes to mind. I have also used the WII controller to great effect.

problems with usb otg cable

I recently bought an otg cable for my tab 2 7.0, a d I tried keyboards , mouses and flash drivers, but when I plug a controller of any type, it just powers but the tab doesnt read it,and also when I plug in my phone it just charges without any data transmission .
But I found out recently that by connecting a USB hub I could use the controllers and the phone normally without any problem , so can any one please help me here as I don't want to make a series of connections just to connect a simple controller.
Try plug your external device to the OTG cable first and then plug the OTG to your Tab 2.

Didnt work and i tried the card reader and it doesn't work also
Edit : only wireless mouses and keyboards work
How would it work with a normal hub and it doesn't work without it?
So you could try,
Plug the usb otg
Then plug in a usb hub (with 3/4/6 usb ports on it.)
And I believe it needs to be a power based hub, that would possibly Work then.

The problem is that i don't need to plug in a POWERED hub, the ordinary hub works well with it @[email protected]
Sounds to me like you have some sort of a connection issue -captain obvious- and gonna guess your usb on the go cable does not give a solid connection
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
can you to be more specific? cause if what you say is correct then how does every thing work when i connect the hub to a damaged cable?
Here's an idea.
My Xperia s could not use a ps3 wired controller it used to say 'power output unavailable etc etc' (but wired mouse and kboard Work fine )
But my Xperia z and Asus tf300 can use the ps3 controller wired with no issues
With shadowgun deadzone, gta 3 , max Payne etc..
This is why I recommended a powered hub.
As mouse and keyboard don't need much power to operate
But the controller does for some odd reason
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
i can use a non powered hub without any problem , i don't think it is a power problem at all
the problem is that there is not data transmission with some devices like wired mouses, keyboards and controllers while some others work fine like flash drivers and wireless mouses and keyboards.
But when i plug in a simple USB hub all work just fine the wired and wireless devices.
could it be that the otg doesn't work with usb 2.0 devices?
U need to download an app called usb jostick center 7 its an app that u use so I recognizes the remote(i leave link below) I use my tab 2 7.0 (p3110) with xbox controller with dead trigger, gta vice city, gta3 etc. But u need this app fir it to work!
Regards. Mitchell
Press thanks if I helped!

Actually i am using Usb Host Controller to see if the device is read by the tab or not, and when i plug in the controller without the hub , nothing is detected at all
Sounds like you have a bad OTG. Check my signature for a good OTG cheap on Amazon ($6.99). Hope this helps.

[Q] PS3 Controller Pairing No root

SO I read on here in a different section that some one did have some luck pairing a PS3 controller via an OTG cable, but here is where I have a problem, the OTG cable I have is mini to standard, not micro to standard, so the option I have would be sort of reversed. I would plug in the charging cable from my phone, plug the USB end of that into my OTG cable where it would connect to my PS3 controller at the other side.
I didn't see how there could be a problem with this but something doesn't seem right, I haven't been able to get it to pair.
I have tried USB/BT Joycenter and scanned for deviced both bluetooth and USB but nothing shows either.
Is there something I am missing? Do I need to reset the PS3 controller because it may be searching for a PS3? Or is it just not going to work and require root.
For the first time ever I have been hesitant to root a phone as I am quite liking this recent android version and just came back from the horrific windows phone. There are obviously still some connectivity issues in the Moto G so I wanted to wait until they were ironed out and then see how I felt about it.
If some one can enlighten me as to what I can do to fix this, Please explain in full, I don't want to just hear "You can't", If I can't, I want to know why I can't and some other people can.
Thanks, David
PS here's what I mean

USB Wireless Keyboard/Mouse

Any reason why the shield won't recognize my usb wireless keyboard? I can connect a wired Xbox 360 Controller through my OTG adapter, but when I connect the usb adapter for the mouse/keyboard, it won't recognize that there is a keyboard & mouse connected. My nexus 7 recognizes both when I use it, and so does my galaxy note 3. I'd love to be able to use this as opposed to having to buy a new bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I'm using a logitech k400 keyboard with the touchpad and a logitech wireless mouse, model mk215, and they're using a unifying receiver.
I went to Best Buy and picked up a Dynex 7 port USB hub that is powered externally, and so far, the powered hub is not making a difference. Still not registering that the wireless keyboard/mouse are connected. Confirmed that hub works when connected to pc as well as my nexus 7, but not on the shield.
This will be supported in the update Monday its in the notes on things updating
I just did the update and plugged in a mouse via OTG cable and it seems to be working fine. Makes stuff like Plants vs Zombies really playable having a mouse.

I'm using a K400 and it works just fine. Both the keyboard and mouse pad are working great. I plugged in the OTG connector with the dongle already plugged into it and it wasn't recognized. I had to first plug in the OTG cable and then plug the dongle into the OTG.
The logitech unify devices work great with the Nvidia Shield.
HOWEVER, you MUST install the latest Unify software on a PC, link all the Unify devices to the same Unify transceiver you are going to use in the Shield. After linking everything you want to use, then unplug the Unify dongle and plug it into the Shield.
Why can't these instructions be included somewhere in the Logitech manual that came with my keyboard. What a waste of my time.
