[Q]Has ANYONE gotten a ps3 controller to work? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I have a ps3 controller, and when using it wired it does not work on my gs4.
People then told me to root my phone to make it work wirelessly, which I did, and install sixaxis, which I then found out does not work with the gs4.
So did I pay 50 bucks for this controller for nothing?

[Q] PS3 SixAxis via BT?

I've been looking at some BT game controllers, and the xbox360 controller mod on here.
This would require either buying a BT controller that I don't even know if it will work, or at least buying a wired xbox360 controller... If all PS3 controllers are BT and these devices support BT inputs, how hard would it be to pair a SixAxis DualShock to one of these?

I know it took alot of time for developers to make a driver so that a PS3 controller could be used on the PC. I'm not a developer but apparently it was not an easy task. I assume it may be a little difficult to get the A7 to recognize it.

Those are Windows developers though, the guys on XDA seem to work at the speed of light compared to them

USB Gamepads

Does anyone know if usb gamepads work with the Iconia? Would like to use an analoge pad if it can be done to play some PSX games..
Thanks, Sonkey
This has been discussed numerous times since 3.1 was released.
Yes, USB gamepads are supported. Not 100% sure about analog thumbpads for psx playing though. Try it

I use a wireless xbox 360 controller for PC (w/ usb receiver). This works well for nesoid hooked up to the tv via HDMI
why bother using a wired joystick when you can get a wireless joystick at just few bucks more..
i have PS3 wireless joystick and installed sixaxis contoller app... been happy and no problem so far
Those of you using an xbox controller hardwired..
my left analogue stick works but not the right one. also the top L+R buttons work but not the bottom ones..
do you guys have the same issues??
Also..
Those using the PS3 controller.. have you noticed that any buttons arent responding? might invest in a PS3 controller if they all work correctly.
thanks in advance.
I've bought this app on the market
(Damn, cannot post links...)
it's called 'USB/BT Joystick Center'
It's working perfectly to me...
I've tested 3 generic usb joysticks and all of them worked.
You can create the USB driver based on the bits input of the device.
really nice, and no root is needed.
rafinhasantana 'USB/BT Joystick Center
Hey rafinhasantana,
I bought USB/BT JOY center too but i was afraid to install it. check out the permissions on that thing. Says it can record passwords you enter in another application. I know its probably needed to record button actions etc... but i was a little concerned.
Do you have any issues with it thus far? Anyone else use this????

I've been looking into this. When you say a "wireless PS3 remote", sdo you mean the stock Sony branded remote, or other?

Hi!
Well i've had no problems with that.. It works like an alternative input method, like in the Wii controller input, but you're not gonna use to type your passwords around. I've contacted the developer about the deadzone for sticks and he hass implemented that...
It's working fine for me, and since I don't use the tablet for banking I'm not THAT worried about passwords on it at all...

Excellent, gonna go grab a Sony remote today. Thanks
I just noticed the Six Axis app requires root... shucks.
Those SixAxis Dual Shock controllers... the ones listed as wireless still have the mini USB connection on the back. Is that ONLY for charging, or can those be hooked up via USB to the tablet for use as well?

Im also thinkimg of getting a set or paiir of ps3 controller. Im kinda leaning towards the bluetooth wireless sixaxis. But before i pull the trigger, can anyone plz confirm that you can connect two wiireless sixaxis controllers simultaneously for 2-player mode in some games? If not, can the wired controllers do it? Tia
Anyone know if PlayStation One (dual shock) controllers can work properly?
I have one hooked up via an OTG cable and a USB conversion hub (to plug the controller into) and can only seen to get the analogue sick to work on FPse. The others buttons (other than the D-pad and right analogue stick) seem to be working in the joycentre but I am not sure how to get them to work outside it, out how to tell the joycentre what physical buttons the presses relate to. Does anyone know if a tutorial video in English?

Controller reccomendations

Wired 360 controller or dreamgear ps3 wireless?
Thanks
Sent from my A500 flexstriker using XDA Premium
I'd go with the ps3 controller. I tried my brother's xbox controller and couldn't get it to work correctly. My ps3 controller worked right away with usb, also works great with bluetooth, using sixaxis from the market, great for emulators.
Sent from my A500
Cool thanks ya I have sixaxis and was testing with brother in laws sony ps3 controller and worked good once paired but I need my own so I don't have to keep pairing it ya know.. does the brand of ps3 controller matter or will the wireless protocol still work with the tablet. What do you have to do to pair it up via bt with no USB...
Thanks

Seems the dreamgear controller is wireless 2.4 via USB dongle ....

Honestly, I would go with a Sony branded PS3 controller with the sixaxis app from the market.
The app costs a few bucks, but works flawlessly, very easy to setup as well.
Can't go wrong with that gear.
I was able to use a Wired XBox 360 controller (that I bought for using in Windows 7) on my A500 running stock either 3.0 or 3.2.1. I can't remember if it was before or after I updated it. It worked great for an NES emulator!

Not sure why you can't use a 360 controller when games that use controllers have the exact colored button indicators as it.
I use a wired, and it works by default. If you use onlive gaming, you will want to use the 360 controller since games are made for it already, or the onlive wireless one. Wireless Xbox 360 controllers work as well, but I use the wired so I don't need to worry about battery life.
Bluetooth controllers typically will have synch issues so stay away from those.

[Q] suggest a wireless controller?

I think the retail CTRLR launches in the US summer right?,
is that's 6 months away?
Anyway, what do you guys use as a second wireless controller?
Something that works well on MOJO and not too pricy, to tie me over until I get another CTRLR
Edit: Does the PS3 controller work without the USB cable? My clone doesn't
I don't want to root my MOJO, until kitkat away
I'm thinking of investing in a MOGA Pro, actually.
interesting
I'll try a wiimote, some time this week.
Anyone tried an xbox360 usb receiver on the MOJO?
Edit: I just remembered ouya's controller list!

Using an original Xbox controller

I have an original Xbox controller that I want to use for the droid turbo. Will not having root access ruin it's use if I order the adapter? Seems like the apps that don't need root for controllers aren't as good as the ones that do.
Bump
I've seen a couple of threads mentioning this. Like here.
The question is probably better asked whether it works with Android or not.
I'm pretty sure if you do a google search, you can find some videos. I know I've recently seen pairing with an Xbox One controller through the USB/BT Joystick app.
I use a USB OTG Cable, and a USB controller. You can buy many IME apps which support this. Seriously go to Wal*Mart or best buy and get a Logitech controller. Easy peasy and it makes playing snes roms a breeze. Why mod a piece of history?
It works fine lol Logitech
I use a wired 360 controller and a converter dongle thing on my nexus 7. I'm not sure if we're pursuing the same end, but It works for me.
