I could have sworn when I had my Samsung S2 I would plug in an xbox controller via usb through a USB OTG cable and it would just work in games. This isn't happening with my Verizon LG G2 that I thought supports USB OTG. When I plug in a media card reader for example I actually see a popup like something is working. Nothing pops up when I plug in the xbox controller.
Anyone get a gamepad to work or have suggestions?
Here is someone else with the same issue that seems to have made some progress:

Where are my fellow Android gamepad gamers? You are all on bluetooth controllers? : )

I'm on Moga and Moga Pro Bluetooth controllers! Don't have a OTG cable. I did get a slimport cable though, and let me tell you, it is sweet playing Modern Combat 4 in 720p on my projector (don't have a 1080p projector) with a wireless controller ON A PHONE!
so you love the Moga? I guess I just figured since I had an xbox controller I'd save the money and only have to worry about battery life on the phone and not the controller. Also the xbox controller is awesome. What to do.... ugh.
Anyone else with gamepad setups they want to share? I guess I'll end up pulling the trigger soon if I can't resolve this. My gaming impatience will get the best of me : )
Another reason why I want wired is to reduce lag etc.. although I don't have experience with bluetooth lag but any perceptible amount is not worth it to me. So check out the email I wrote to LG:
to: LG
How come when I plug in my xbox controller through a usb otg cable it doesn't work? It should. Please see this post:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/54617/wired-xbox-controller-not-working-with-lg-g2
By the way, I really love this phone. Just hope you guys can enable gamepad support and pay to click using google wallet and the nfc chip.
Please advise,
Thanks so much,
Tahl
Here was their response... ha:
I apologize that you are having problems with the phone. If your xbox controller is not working with the phone you would have to get repair or troubleshooting information from Customer Care of Xbox.
If you are reading this, hope you had a good laugh too.
I ask LG a solution

I do the same.
I have no solution to connect my wired xbox 360 controller to my LG G2 (if anybody has one, tell me)
I really like my phone and my controller
I hope LG will reply me in a good way but ...
wait and see.
Please ... tell me there is a solution.
Out of curiosity, did you try an AOSP ROM to see if it worked? I did not at this point.

I like the Mogas but they Feel similar to a 360.
Personally I think you can't get any better then a PS3 controller. It will work Wired out of the box (haven't tried on the G2) and also wirelessly through bluetooth with the rooted sixaxis app.
The PS3, I think, is a much better controller because of the separated DPad that becomes very very handy in retro gaming. Try playing SNES Mario World with a Moga or 360 and you'll hate it. I currently have 2 Ouya BT Controllers, a 360 Controller w/ Wireless Sync USB, and a PS3 controller.
I'm also curious if the PS4 was ever successfully paired to Android yet. The PS4 is similar to my Ouya Controller in a sense that it has the touchpad built in, which makes it very handy for navigating Android apps on a TV that aren't 100% gamepad compatible.
For gamepads to work, they need the specific .KO file that has the profiles. LG may not have included it. Custom roms should work out of the box though.

Is that possible to include it ?
No answer from LG. I'm furious ! A so good phone and no way to play with a wired controller. I was thinking that the ability was included diectly inside android. Why LG did extract this ability ? Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa I'm not saying they excluded it, but probably did... or goofed it up somehow.
Just do Bluetooth. Wired controllers don't work well anyway.
Are you sure it isn't working? You usually are required to download an app from the play store to really start utilizing the controllers for gamplay.
You can also just root and grab an app to restore the .ko file.

I'm really sure of it. I use my controller on my acer A200 With a dedicated app. It's really good and it works really well.

Hi all!
I am having a problem, my LG G2 with otg and xbox 360 controller, im running the stock factory firmware out of the box. My problem is that when pushing buttons on the xbox 360 controller the G2 seems to think i am holding down the button... When I am not! I can post a video to explain it better. Is anyone else having this issue? I have a nexus 7 and the xbox controller works fine on it so I don't think it is the otg cable itself.
Thanks!
I am having exactly the same problem.
I connected my XBOX 360 Wired Controller to my LG G2, and first of all it didn't respond. The lights were blinking all the time.
After the latest update my XBOX 360 Wired Controller worked, and I saw the light at Player 1, however, it thinks I'm holding the buttons while I'm not.
Any fix for this?
Havent tried latly but i never had my xbox controller working. i wonder if having the xpad.ko would work. ive tryed compiling the kernel and module my self but kernel didnt boot and cant load module with other kernels.

I have the same problem... is like the buttons sometime have the auto-hold function. And the led of the controller is not stable in 1 player but all 4 led blinking. Someone can help me?
Hello everyone, I hope this is the right section where to post, I have scrolled down the home page until I've found this one. This is an android console based on Rockchip cpu so I guessed I'd give it a try with my problem. If not please forgive my dumbness and move the thread.
I have bought a GPD XD console that works very flawlessly beside one big huge damn problem I am not able to resolve.
One day I tried to hook it to my TV and looks great. Then I wanted to connect my 360 wired controller via USB otg. No luck. Then I tried ps3. Same. Ps4 controller? Again nothing appears on screen. Mouse, keyboards, flash drives, just nothing. Also updated it to last firmware. Tried 3 usb otg cables, 2 cheap one and one with gold plated connectors that costs more (dunno if this changes).
So I tried some of the methods I've found online to test the otg support and actually otg support is ok. What wasn't ok therefore, is that I had to download 3 xml files and putting then into permissions folder and allow them but still nothing happens. Downloaded then a vold file to put it into etc folder and again nothing works. The apps i've tried all tells me the otg support is ok but find me no otg signal
Actually usb port works for charging the device or make it visible to pc but this damn otg won't work.
I tried almost anything, . I am kinda noob at this but if usb works for charging and pc I can assume is a software issue and not an hardware one, or is it possibile the otg function depends on usb port "broken" even if usb port works for other operations?
Please I would be very glad if you could help me. Since it's passed too much time for a refund and send it back in China for a replacement will costs me a lot and takes like months if not one year as I've read around.

Hi Guys,
Since an Xbox One Controller cannot be connected over bluetooth to this device (check out other thread here), I was wondering if the ZTE Axon 7 does pick up the device when connected over USB-C otg.
I know that button mapping is incorrect or that the controller doesn't seem to work with android games. I only intend to use it with moonlight, which has its own built-in driver.
What I'm looking for is confirmation that the Axon 7 does pick up a USB device when the controller is connected, you can see that if you use the AIDA64 app, under the USB devices section. I'm looking for a screenshot of this app on the Axon 7 with the xbox one controller connected.
You can find an example here.
Thanks in advance!

Ey Znuf, did it work? Apologies for pushing, but I'll have to make a decision on new phone soon, and if aida64 does not pick it up, would be kind of a dealbreaker .
Thanks !

Ey Znuf! Thank you so much, no problem at all .
My last questions and then I'll stop bothering you: which android version/custom rom/device (A2017G/A2017U/A2017) are you using? Specific otg cable that you were using?
Thanks
I'm on G variant with stock room.
The USB cable is a icy box cable ref ib-cb006

I've not been able to test OTG yet, will do tomorrow. But already tested with Bluetooth, and it's picked up as a regular controller with correct button mapping for several Android Apps (tried Moonlight & Mupen64).
I can now sadly confirm that while running LineageOS 14.1 (based on Android 7.1.2) on the phone, my XBOX One Controller DOES NOT WORK while connected over OTG, even more, I experience the reboot loop issue.
I've not tried it on the stock rom, but will stay on LineageOS for now. The controller does work over Bluetooth (with correct button mapping in my experience).
Hello I really need some insight with this. I just bought an otg cable for pairning my redmi note 7 with my ps4 controller because I couldnt fix the input delay via blutooth and the continuous connect fix was not working for me(with both new and old version of the program) . When I paired the controller with the cable nothing happened, I then tried with my ps3 controller again nothing happened.They just charge and that's it, no inputs. When i put a mouse on the otg cable the mouse worked normally. When I tried it with my friend's Mi9t everything worked fine ! I tried the USB debugging settings etc, still the same. Is there any way to fix this?
i haven't tried it myself but maybe this could help you :
https://in.c.mi.com/thread-221458-1-1.html
Thanks I will try this when I get off work and will post the results. I hope this works cause I use my device as an emulation station and this is a big problem for me.

What program are you using and what ROM?

hello, I used the Bluetooth Auto Connect (both the most recent version and an old one which some people said that works better) with no luck. Everything works as it should for a minute or so and then lags kick in and everything is unplayable. I use the most recent MIUI Global 10.3.10. Waiting for thw MIUI 11 update any day now.

Hey it kinda works that way. I mean you have to set it up time after time, after time but it works. So it is the same uncompatibility with the ps4 controller the owners of K20 and K20 Pro are posting about, I just cant figure out why it works fine via bluetooth(minus the insane lag) and not with the otg cable. It's a pain in the ass to set it all over again every time you need to play something in an emulator, but hey, it works I guess. I really hope they will fix this with the imminent MIUI 11 and add native support of the ps4 controller on this model cause I will be forced to sell it and I really like my note 7. Thanks again for your help!

The last time I used my Xbox One S controller was fine (I know its not your case) but I flashed a module from magisk to use it, and I see one for the ps4 controllers in the repos. Maybe it helps?

It works for me this way but you have to set it up every time and it's kinda annoying. Sometimes it takes a minute or two once im in the emulators to recognise the control schemes.

i tried that method but the controller ps3 isn't being detected by the phonenor in the app -when i connect it it says "device is dead" , and the ps4 controller is detected in the app but not in game nor controlling the phone/home screen .
which controller is working for you ? is it working for you outside the emulator games ? if so , which games ?
and btw , is your phone rooted or not ?

Im using the PS4 controller. Sadly my PS3 controller is busted and I cannot test it in order to help you. Yes it is working outside of games with the method described above. You just use it as an alternative input method, so in other words you forfeit the keyboard and you use the controller as an input method. You cannot use the keyboard at the same time and after you disconnect the controller you need to reverse the default input method back to the keyboard in order to use the phone. Its not plug and play, you have to set it every time as I mentioned above but at least it works this way with little to no lag. I have tried it with Mame, Epsxe, Retroarch, PPSSPP, everything works I had no problems with any of the games I tried. My redmi Note 7 is not rooted and runs all the latest updates.

thanks for the respond , i got the ps4 controller to work in the emulator PPSSPP . although that's not what i was trying to solve , i wanted to use the controller in games/apps -the ones you download from the play store like FIFA,NFS etc.. - outside the emulator. but i think i'll have to root my phone to remap the touch control for these games.
i'll have to wait for a week to unlock the bootloader then i'll try again after rooting.
thanks again bro <3
