Hy all!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) with stock Android 5.0 rooted. So, where is the problem? Since Android 5.0 update the Sixaxis Controller app is useless (not working), but the new sistem is able to find the PS3 Controller on it's own, only thing is it asks for a PIN every time you want to connect. I tried 0000, 1234, 000000, 123456, 00000000, 12345678, etc but no real luck! I managed once to connect the PS3 Controller to the phone, by mistake I think, but after the connection was interrupted the controller disappeared from the list of connected devices.
So, what I did the first time:
1. With the phone bluetooth on I connected a bluetooth mouse;
2. When trying to connect the PS3 Controller the phone did not see it and the controllers LED's blinked only for 3 or 4 seconds.
3. Thinking it was out of battery i connected the controller to the pc to charge.
4. After a while i removed the charging cable from the controller and the LED's started blinking like normal and the phone asked me for a pin to connect.
5. I put the pin 0000 and it connected immediately.
6. I turned off the phone bluetooth to break the connection and got some sleep. When i woke up I turned on the controller and the darn pin came back with no luck!
Anyone knows why the connection didn't got saved in the phone memory like the mouse did? And why did after all that the 0000 pin worked and now it doesn't!?!?
I will try to connect the controller again using the same mouse>pc technique but this time with the Bluetooth Auto Connect app installed. Hope this time the connection gets saved in the phone. Wish me luck!
Bluetooth Auto Connect doesn't do anything! Lame ... But now i know what i have to do!

Has anybody heard any news on cobaltcontroller or any apps which allow the ps3 controller to be used on android?
can anybody give me some sort of update?
I'm sure a lot of people are wondering
Wish i knew how to port stuff.
His cobalt controller how to tells how to get the PS3 controllers address, which seems is the big problem.
attempts are closer
Well I have been trying to pick up where cobaltus left off.. I have android recognoizing a ds3 and can even setup.the pairing process. But of course the last hurdle remains and that is determining the Bluetooth password for the ds3 controller. What I assume is happening is that the ps3 controller sends out a randomly generated password each time the USB cable is connected ... so what I need is to see the backend or the code psjoy is receiving . Are there any windows developers out there that could open up cobalt controller and see how it gets the Bluetooth passcode for.the controller. Besides that...we have it. Everyone is welcome on this project!
didnt try doing what cobaltious is doing on win mobile, cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel it doesnt work? he says it works after doing that
i was just hoping we could get some sort of update or even help from cobaltikus himself
I haven't used CobaltController in almost a year, but I remember the pairing process meant that I needed to connect the controller to my computer first and use some program (in Windows) that could access the controller to tell it that it is paired to my phone's Bluetooth MAC address.
Personally i use BlueputDroid (from android market) to control my ps3 over bluetooth.

Now that Android 3.1 supports PS3 controller natively (USB Only) do you think it will now be easier for someone to get it working over bluetooth?
here's hoping...!
for those of you having trouble with getting your six axis controller working go to this link http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html download the six axis pair tool for your operating system you will also find instructions there and go to the android market and download the six axis controller app here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sixaxiscontroller&feature=more_from_developer then run the app on your nexus 7 you bluetooth master code will be down in the bottom left then plug your controller to your pc run the six axis pair tool it will come up put the code from your nexus in copy it exactly how it is on your nexus then change the master code then unhook your controller go to your nexus hit start on the app you should be paired now. now click setting in the top right and click preferences then gamepad settings and then enable gamepad. you should be good after that.
sorry if this seems cluttered im at work and typed this out as fast as possible.
hope this helps some of you.
If I am not mistaken, is root required?
That method for pairing with Sixaxis is not required, can all be done on the tablet itself with a USB OTG cable.
Root is required however.

Well. Poop
yes root is required and you can use usb otg or do it through your pc if you dont have a usb otg.
i keep getting no controller found after going through all the steps.
Simultaneously connect to a bluetooth headset?
I got to pair my N7 and PS3 controller thru Sixaxis just fine. But it prevents me to simultaneously connect to a bluetooth headset. So I have to disconnect my bluetooth headset and connect my PS3 controller. Does anyone know which bluetooth headset would work simultaneously with the PS3 controller?
I can not get mine to pair. Keeps saying there is no controller found on the n7. I installed both version as stated on the website.
I changed the address from the n7 and put that on the program. Not really sure what is wrong
Got it working, just had to unplug the ps3 controller then start it up.

misread the whole page
That's right, I currently have a PS3 controller working via internal BT on my rooted TN7 running 4.3 JB.
It all started with me looking for any new info on if/when we will get Lollipop and I found a Tegra Note Google+ page ( https://plus.google.com/communities/107930429626808861984 ) . Then I saw this post https://plus.google.com/+LeidivalSilvaSales/posts/TnDVpXqUCau and in the comments on this post a guy claiming that it was working on his TN7 https://plus.google.com/113859637427636372771/posts/22eAWCYqN1W
I hadn't tried to pair the controller in awhile and there were some updates to the Sixaxis app since then so I reinstalled installed Sixaxis Compatibility Checker. At first it didn't seem to work but here is the key, assuming the BT address in the controller had already been changed to match your device the controller has to be off or charging and you unplug it AFTER you hit the start button on the app. If the lights are blinking before you hit start it won't pair. After doing this the app paired the controller and registered all button/joystick inputs! I immediately bought the full Sixaxis app and with a little configuration was using the controller with ePSXe. Vibration doesn't seem to work but all the buttons/joysticks do. I haven't tried the tilt function yet. I'm so happy, I don't own a ps3 and bought the controller specifically to use with the TN7 and its been collecting dust for over 6 months because it didn't work.
If anybody doesn't believe me I can post a video.
I do not understand
I do not understand your tutorial, I am sorry.
What do I have to do?
I have
- rooted TN7
- installed Sixaxis Controller App
- DS3-Controller, with changed BT-Adress to fit my TN7
- USB-OTG-Cable
What is the exact order to make it work via bluetooth?
By connecting my DS3-Controller via USB-OTG all lights are blinking (there is no way to prevent this).
Thank you in advance!

Update1:
Oh, nevermind my post I found out myself..
1. Change the DS3-Controller Master-Adress to fit TN7 (by using MotionInJoyDriver and Configuration with BetterDS3_1.5.3)
2. Have the SixAxis-App running
3. Connect the DS3-Controller via USB-OTG to the TN7
4. Press Pair in the App, and set that checkmark to always set that adress for your usb-device
5. Press Start in the SixAxis-App (wait a few seconds, until everything is loaded)
5.1. Now the lights on the controller are blinking (or they were blinking before)
6. Press some buttons on your controller, by still having it connected via USB-OTG, to look, if it is working.
7. Hide SixAxis-App and bring it to front again
8. Hide SixAxis-App and unplug for Controller from that USB-OTG-Cable
9. Bring SixAxis-App to front and try to push some buttons on your controler (it is now working wireless).
Now you have successfully configured your DS3 with your TN7.
To make it always work via bluetooth finally do the following:
1. Make sure your gamepad is turned off
2. Open SixAxis-App and hit Start
2.1. Wait until everything (that driver stuff) is successfully loaded
3. Press Home on your DS3-Controller (now your Controller is connected to your TN7)
4. Celebrate that day and have fun playing games
Perhaps a few steps mentioned here are not necessary, but that is the way I made it work with my TN7.
It's also still working after a (soft) restart of my TN7.
Yayness!
I'm not exactly sure what the revelation here is... I've been using my PS3 controller with my TN7 for ages with the Sixaxis app. Glad it works for you too!
I have tried through bluetooth and the phone is unable to pair with the controller. Is there any other way to work around this issue and connect wirelessly? Also will a USB-C OTG cable work with the 6P?
I haven't received my 6P yet but on my 6 I use sixaxis controller with my ps3 controller. Not sure if ps4 controller does native Bluetooth gamepad or you need to use the app.
Use this to set the parent address to your nexus 6ps bluetooth mac address (you can find it in settings->about)
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
Then connect it as a standard bluetooth device.
Unfortuantely after 30sec it starts lagging terribly
So I successfully got the ps4 controller to pair over Bluetooth without adjusting any settings. It wouldn't work at first but it added it as a device. Then when I tried again the next day after restarting the phone it connected.
you have to hold PS button and share at the same time until you get the flashing white light.
However, the triggers mapped weird for games and there is lag.
Does anyone know of a way to fix the mapping without root?
I also successfully used the OTG cable with the ps3 controller. This worked a lot better this works a lot faster then the Bluetooth ps4. And the mapping is correct.
Haven't tried usb to ps4 yet. UPDATE
So ps4 over otg also has some mapping issues. Tested this out in minecraft settings since you can customize controller mapping. For some reason on ps4 some buttons didn't seem to me recognized, everything was weird, like r2 was labeled as a button and triangle wasn't showing anything.
Tried to connect ps3 via Bluetooth but couldn't get it to work
are there any fixes, not rooted fully updated and paired but sometimes after a restart or when box is switched on, the controller is not recognised and i have to go through repairing which doesnt work either but then miraculously the controller works after going on homescreen (using ir remote logitech)
any advice?
