I can honestly say my tv kills my phone. Even avatar cant compare. I have a ln52b750.
Its a sammy and the phone can play movies on it. Not the other way around though.
I just dont think it works without a video in feature.

No I dont believe the PS3 is capable of sending video over wifi or Bluetooth to your phone. I know through Samsung media share you can start vids on your computer and have them play on your TV via PS3 or through all share, turn on Bluetooth have PS3 scan media and BAM any movie accept Avatar cause it's DCF "SD card" will output on your PS3 through Bluetooth.
you can rip any dvd to the proper phone format, place it on your phone via Bluetooth PS3 will see it, choose it via PS3 media, and BAM on your TV.
"That was way off topic" I think. anyway, a little info never hurts.

I'm not sure if you're able to stream the video to your phone from the PS3.. but I do know that the PS3 is capable to stream the video over wifi... (I use my PSP from time to time to play on my PS3 in a different room)

Play Games With Your Ps3 Controller

Sixaxis Controller is an Android application which allows the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 Playstation controllers to be used as bluetooth input devices on many mobile phones and tablets. This enables the ultimate gaming experience to be had in a completely portable form factor.
Up to four controllers are supported at once, and key mappings are completely configurable, as well as the analog sticks, which are currently emulated as digital key presses.

this is good, but what games can this play on the XPlay?

I bought a phone with a playstation controller, so why would i want to use another

I could think of one game where the experience would be greater, medal of honor wich also uses the R/L 2 buttons wich I've maped to the volume button. Not so handy nor fast
It would have been the bomb if SE had made tv out or hdmi
Regards Dousan...

It's great for other android users but I don't see myself getting my x10 out with a ds3 controller in public while waiting for my train or sitting my ride out haha.
Glad I got the play aswell
It's a nice app though

Defeats the purpose of mobile gaming though... Who is going to bring a controller out with them lmao. Mind as well play emulators on bigger monitor screen at home...

That could be the final idea.
Think about transmitting your screen to another via WLAN or whatever and then just grabbing the nearest controler - pairing - gaming extreme.

If I put it to my big screen, isn't the resolution too small to make it look good? It would be blurry wouldn't it?
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.

As much as I love my Play as well would totally bring my ps3 w/ ds3 with me everywhere. I usually have a backpack at all times (Im weird like that) the controller is very light, kinda small and making an equally light-weight mount is fairly strait forward, and even if I never use it outside the house it's a very convenient portable N64 or PS1. And I have both of those too!
And there goes productivity...

From all reports the play is HDMI capable, it just has no HDMI port lol

heard that it uses usb to connect to HDMI so its basically a usb to hdmi converter lets say.

Yeah you can use PS3/XBOX360. I think the game is pretty sweet. I'm still waiting for them to fix Nova 3 for the GS3. Otherwise I've been playing this, ME Infiltration, Homerun Battle 2, etc..

Have any of you gotten Dead Space to work? On mine it just exists after choosing difficulty.

So I'm getting just about 1% battery drop per minute of ANY (decent) game play. Is that about right? Seems like a LOT to me...
Also:
I agree Dead Trigger is a good game albeit a simple FPS. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like they super dumb down FPS's for phones because they're expecting it to be difficult to use the screen as a controller.
Maybe they do this rightfully so, but if you use a PS3 controller, suddenly all the FPS games are rudimentary and have no depth or challenge. (they all also run too slow when you have the ability to zoom around the screen with a joystick)

How the heck do you hook up an xbox controller?
1% sounds about right considering such a small battery in comparison to like the Vita.

I have yet to do it but my buddy has. The controller connects to the phone via Bluetooth. I think you have to be rooted though I'm not sure.

Is $8.99 too much for one of these cables?

Yes. If all otg cables are created equal, I got a good seller on eBay who sells them for like 3.50 a piece and they work great on my xoom. As a matter of fact I lost my last one and am waiting for a new nor in the mail now. I can produce u a link if Ud like.

OTG cable is all that you need, it allows the phone to work in USB host mode so you can connect just about any USB device to the phone
For maximum flexibility, I recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy which is an interface program for USB game controllers which allows you to map ANY usb controller to any key you want. I use this on my Kindle Fire for all the NES/SNES/Etc emulators. It should also work with the bluetooth based controllers. One thing that kind of sucks is that a lot of games are designed from the ground up for touch screen controllers so there is no provision to even change the input device

It's really not very difficult. To connect via bluetooth (which in my opinion is far superior to ugly and annoying wires) you will most likely need root.
I prefer the PS3 controller and this is the app I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ncGl4ZWxzdHVkaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb250cm9sbGVyIl0.
A year ago, connecting a wiimote was like 'WOAH!' now, It's almost expected. This is nothing new, and I'm really confused at why there aren't third party controllers for phones. The first good controller (or PS3/xbox copy) could become a standard to which all games are modeled upon. Game makers could even charge like $30 for a big title game and send you a controller for your troubles.
Unfortunately, as altitude909 said above, most every game these days is made with the idea that you'll be using on-screen controls. So they either do some funny things to make it easier to use the screen which doesn't translate into a controller, or they dumb down the gameplay so that it's just too easy with a controller.
Mass Effect is probably the best game graphically and gameplay wise on the US version Galaxy S3 currently. No matter how hard I try, that game just cannot translate into a controller. Because the nature of Mass Effect being a third person life action but turn based shooter, they tried to incorporate that unique gameplay into a phone, which actually works well with on screen controls, but could be so much more enjoyable if you could use a controller. Problem is that the game requires the player to tap on enemies to aim, and also slide around to use various powers...

Can an otg cable and 360 controller work with games, like emulators, without having root?

I've been waiting for it to release in the US or a controller that is similar...

Still confused, as I thought that the 360 controller does not work via bluetooth and lacks a usb interface. Am I wrong? I've got the PS3 controller working via bluetooth no problem.

Some apps like SNES9x allow scanning for a Wii controller via bluetooth. I just tried it with the Note and it works without a hitch. I believe all the NES.emu series of emulators on the play store work with the Wii controller this way.

I remember I had some lag with ShadowGun on my TF700.
I am convinced now that I made the right choice returning it for the Note.
Thank you for posting this.

anyone tired chainfire on the note yet?

I just tried a wired Xbox controller plugged into the Note 10.1 via a USB Adapter, with Dead Trigger, Didn't work, and i'm rooted , this combo worked well on my Prime and Infinity, I'm sure there's some kind of work around

For gaming the 7.7 is the one.

How did you get sixaxis to work, I installed the app, paired with my controller, but when I launch the game it doesn't work, anything special I need to do, I'm rooted of course, thanks

Just played Amazing Spiderman. My god it is so damn smooth! That's compared to both the prime and the infinity! Noblag, no glitch, just beautiful gaming.

With a lot of games you have to map the keys yourself to get the game to work with the controller, no game loft games work without changing the key mapping.
You can find sixaxis maps scattered throughout Google but they're normally for phones but if you download the key maps for the games then go to preferences and change the background, after you've taken a screenshot of the game on the 10.1 you can reposition the keys to your screenshot.
Look for maps by searching for nova 3.map and so on, there's a whole post with maps for the galaxy s3 on xda, just reposition the keys to play on tablet

External controller

I'd really like to play a few games on my n10 using an external controller of some sort. We have xbox/wii/ps3 at home, can I use any of those controllers or is there a specific one to buy?

I have used wii controllers. You have to download an app for that.

PlayStation 3 controllers have one of the must have apps for tablets in SixAxis. Highly recommend

If you can live with cable connection just plug in ps3 controler via USB and yout good.
If you want bluetooth you need root.

Once my Nexus is repaired, there'll be a Nexus 10.2... And I'll be demanding one from Samsung for all the trouble they put me through.

Use your ps3 controller with the six axis app... It's freaking awesome.. For games that don't have native game pad support, you can set up the buttons to emulate touching the screen... Works awesome
