So i've done the six axis process with my s3, it was successful several times. Currently i'm running stock 4.2 rooted on my nexus 7. I've downloaded the pairing tool for my pc, changed the bluetooth adress of my controller to match my tablet. HOWEVER whenever i go to "start" in the app on my tablet it does the "attempting connection type 1 and then 2" Sits there for a while and never pairs to my device. I'm also seeing similar people having this exact issue
"This app is the greatest thing to happen to Android. It does it all. The touch emulation is fantastic. I really can't say enough good things about it. Buy it! You'll definitely be glad you did."
same thing happens to me and it messes my wifi up. Is this a bug we have to deal with until app dev fixes it or has anyeone heard of a work around?
I'm always able to find an answer in a different site shortly after i post. someone posted this...
I emailed the dev, and he sent me an email yesterday, and he said "I'm aware of this issue and hope to have a fix soon. Android 4.2 has introduced a new Bluetooth stack, so it will take some time to rewrite the sixaxis driver. I hope to have a fix within a week."
I'm in the same shape. This is the only reason I rooted my Nexus 7. I'm not going to roll back to an earlier image. If this isn't fixed in a week or so, Im going to restore my N7 to factory.
I paired my N7 with my mac and got the BT address. I used the mac sixpair app and wrote that address to my PS3 controller. Then I tried the Sixpair Controller test, but no joy via BT or USB. Hopefully this is fixed soon.
I heard that bluetooth was broken with 4.2 :[

What do you mean?
Other Question: What means the Connection Type? What is the difference between 1,2,3?

OT: Why can´t I edit my signature in profiles?
I have a rooted verizon galaxy S5 (towelroot) and cant get my ps3 controller to work with sixaxis controller app. I dont have the usb wire(USB OTG) that connects from the phone to the controller so i used the sixaxis pair tool that you download from there website. Has anyone tried and succeeded? Thanks.

does it say that the pairing tool should allow you to play with a Wireless PS3 controller if paired?

doesnt the tool make u have a cord? last time i used the pairing tool i had to still plug it in to the pc to change the bluetooth addr to match eachother before it would b sble to read it.. im pretty sure a cord might b required for the pc as i dont think there is one for the ps3 to phone..

the compatibility checker says it should work.. i think hes just havin trouble since he cant figure out the pairing tool (is required step) which you plug ps3 to pc run the tool n change the address to the one the sixaccess apk tells you to set it to on phone and then you pair them up wirelessly via bluetooth..

Yes...I'm using the correct wire to pair(change bluetooth address) on my pc to the controller but you can also use your phone to do the same thing by using a special wire(USB OTG) just in case you don't have a pc. There's tutorials on you tube that I followed and they talk about doing both ways just in case you don't have the right stuff. I'm using the pair tool correctly, that's the easy part, it's the sixaxis app that is giving me trouble. I'm just thinking that the touch wiz on the S5's or somewhere along those lines is giving the app problems. It would be cool if someone can try it on there S5 then reply the results. Thanks.
This is the error
No controller found-please connect it via USB cable
I'm having the same problems. Emailed the Dev without reply so far. I read others are having the issue with the S5 as well but that it works on 4.4 on other devices.
Ok cool thanks for the reply. I emailed the dev also with no reply.
I had this same problem and solved it by flashing the XtreStoLite rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
Now Sixaxis controller connects to PS3 controllers and recognizes the input.
I had the same issue with my att gs5 active. What I've found to work is reboot the phone. As soon as it boots go into the sixaxis app and hit start and hit the sync button on the controller. If it connects things are looking good but your not done yet. Wait about a minute or two and chances are the controller will disconnect. Then I hit stop and wait for it to finish (while your waiting hit the PS sync button on the controller) then as soon as you can hit start go ahead and hit it within a couple seconds. The controller should sync again and stay synced this time. I've even hit start then hit sync and that worked too. If you disconnect the app or do a step wrong you just have to restart and start over. I've played for an hour or two straight.

I dont get it....
WHY DOES THAT WORK?
I allways want to find out why things dont work, but this is just laughable: restart phone, connect, get disconnected, stop server, start server, connect again.
If somebody could explain why that works id be really happy.
Also thank you SO much to give me (and all the others) that solution!
(I just made an account for that)
That rom can't be flashed on Verizon S5...

Bahaha I completely agree!! Wish I knew.

Nope Nothing is working!!!
Honestly I don't know what to do in this case, I did everything that it was in this blog and nothing...
I did purchased the sixasis app a long time ago for another phone. but I can't get it to work on my Galaxy s5.. any ideas!???
BACKSTORY: So I just got my Nexus Player about three days ago. I used stock for all of a day and had no issues. I decided I would try Lollirock v2.1. It loaded with no issues and I was able to get it working. I don't have an OTG adapter so I used ADB to configure the wireless and then found ADBControl to control the device through ADB. I got it working but found that it really didn't align with my desires. I also began having Bluetooth issues with the remote. The remote would randomly drop pairing.
I came home from work the other day and found that the box was not responding over wireless. I just reset power to it and, upon recovery, the wireless and Bluetooth were no longer responding (icons gone from status bar too). I decided this was some sort of Lollirock flakiness. I flashed the device to stock LMY47V. The device recovered and it was apparent that Bluetooth didn't work. I couldn't pair the remote and the device wasn't visible when I pressed the button on the bottom. I was able to pair the remote to my phone so this ruled out a remote issue.
I reflashed Lollirock so I had USB debugging by default and attempted to research in a root shell. I was unable to activate wireless. I saw a random suggestion that wireless issues could have been caused by the Use Network Time setting so I disabled that on Lollirock with no better results.
PROBLEM: Wireless doesn't work at all. In a shell, netcfg is not showing a wlan0. I can't seem to make progress because of this. I assume Bluetooth is trashed because of the same problem as with the wireless. I tried flashing an older stock package with no luck. It seems dead, Jim. Any suggestions?

I never resolved the issue and ultimately replaced the device with a FireTV instead. I'm much happier with the Amazon device.

I have flashed probably 30 nexus players with lollirock never once had a problem! I wonder if you had the wrong file in folder or bad download. I left a root.img from nexus 6 in platform-tools and it booted but was acting crazy but remembered that it was for nexus 6 and reflashed was all good!
if you have access to a usb keyboard of some sort and an plug into your nexus player, find and download (sideload) an android terminal app. in the command prompt, enter:
su
service call bluetooth_manager 8
service call bluetooth_manager 6
i found that info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/bluetooth-issues-sixaxis-app-t2987998
hope that helps.
There is a Firmware Update for the C.T.R.L.R Controller
[download section of the mad catz home page] (i'm not yet allowed to post urls)
My C.T.R.L.R was included when I bought my Mad Catz Mojo.
I found that Guide:
url (google for "Product Update Guide: XInput")
And a page about the Update:
url (google for "C.T.R.L.R with XInput Update – Ready to Game on PC")
(one guy in the comments says that the update is not possible for the C.T.R.L.R Controller that was packaged with the mojo - is that possible? - isn't it the same controller that is selled separately?
However, when I tried to install the new Firmware, I got the instruction from the software to push the "next title" + "last title" buttons for 3 seconds to bring the C.T.R.L.R Controller in a "firmware update mode" in order to continue the update procedure. Nothing happened when I pushed the buttons.
I have also installed the Driver and Software from the download page, but I was not able to perform the firmware update.
Was anyone able to install the firmware update?
There are many optimisations and fixes included in the update, therefore, it seems to be worthy.
I opened a ticket about this very problem with Mad Catz. Their responce was that we can't do a firmware update with the C.T.R.L.R. Controller that came with the Mojo. What a rip off!
This is actually crazy... i bought the mojo for £49.99 from amazon a few days ago... power it on.. controller wont connect so cant get past the setup language screen... make it all worse its set to goto sleep after 2mins so have to keep getting up to reinsert the power.... purchase a cheap usb keyboard to set it up... turn on bluetooth.. spend literally a day on google and on here trying to work out how to connect the controller, still wont connect... wont connect to my s4 neither... only my laptop. :/ i too found the firmware update and got stuck on the same place as you guys..... no wonder this has dropped so much in price.... im about to try tech support, spend one more day on it, then il be shipping it back to amazon...

That sucks, not even passing the language screen. But don't give up hope; try these few tricks:
1) Get new AAA batteries (I prefer using recheargeable ones)
2) if that doesn't work, remove the batteries and use your S4 charging cable to power the CTLR. There is tiny USB input behind the batteries.
3) swap the usb dongle bluetooth receiver between the 3.0 and 2.0 input slots on the MOJO
4) If the CTRLR just won't connect, try using either a USB mouse (either cable or wireless). I've been using a wireless mouse for the past couple months since I don't play games that much, it works flawlessly).
**Make sure you're not far from the MOJO when you're attempting these solutions.
If it works, make sure you update the MOJO firmware (205 something). Most issues with the stock CTRLR will stop after that. Also, if you continue using that CTRLR you can use the 2.0 slot and use the 3.0 input for your external HDD for example.
If none of these works, something might be wrong with your CTRLR. You could ask for a return or exhange.
But I will tell you, once this baby works, you will fall in love with it.
But honesty, I didn't really need the CTLR to be updated. For my purposes, it works just fine. Since I mostly watch videos on the MoJo, a simple wireless mouse does all the job for me.

cheers for the reply.. i tried the suggestions and it just keeps flashing blue and red ... ive given up on the CTRLR... now have it setup with a rii wireless keyboard and an old firestick remote that i connected via bluetooth.... i wont be playing games anyway, just wanted it for streaming upstairs....
That means it's just not connecting. Sorry about that. For streaming purposes, you should be fine with your current setup though.
Perhaps Mad Catz can replace your CTRLR, did you inquire?

Thank you for that important information. So I'm not able to update the firmware. I think there should be a note on the homepage about that. Hours of lifetime are lost because that information is not provided on the homepage.:crying:

The CTRL, is the best part of the MOJO :good:
I use it a lot on other BT4 devices, my phone, PC and mojo.
Try connecting on other devices, it could be the dongle that has a problem.
If there is an update, it would be for the retail version, but not sure what it would do.
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/CTRLR_Range/
looks like it's just PC software
Bit of a shot in the dark here. I've got the retail version of the controller, updated firmware and though I've followed the calibration steps to a T - it's borked.
Triggers don't register at all, right stick is slowly panning up and left and there are random triggers of some of the hard buttons.
Has anyone successfully updated any version of this controller?
Edit:
Reflashed the fimrware and tried again. Working now. Not sure what went wrong, failed flash?

I had the same issue unitl I realized that I have another model number where I had to press the "<<" and ">>" buttons at the same time. After that, firmware update was working.
Ive tried the above and didnt work either has anyone ever got past this operation issue with the update. Ive connected the device with usb cable ok, I have a solid red light on the controller, presses both keys as instructions state and nothing progresses, the usb install was the last thing that actually worked.
Cant believe its so rubbish to get an update working - ridiculous
Cant find any profiles for this controller like MC 4, etc.
Any help on this device or is it dead in the water.

Hi did you guys figure out if there is anyway to update the controller that comes with MOJO model 32263? I cannot get it working with usb on my computer.
Mojo Pack-in C.T.R.LR. Update
Hi All,
Looking for same info on the pack-in controller that came with the Mojo. I put my Mojo away, I bought a shield a few years back and never looked back. I would like to use the controller (C.T.R.LR.) that came with the Mojo but I can not get it to pair with anything outside of the original Mojo. Has anyone been able to get the update to work, I ran into the same issues as other here, pressing the << and >> does nothing and I can not update the firmware. Would like to use the controller with my cellphone but it will not pair. Thoughts?
Thanks!

so my wife went to use one of the nexus players and the remote wouldnt connect, pushed the button on bottom and it would search, but never connect, tried new batteries, still nothing. tried other remotes (we have 3 NPs) nothing.
did a factory data/reset. cannot get passed the setup screen because it wont see the remotes. got the factory image and ran the .bat file and reset 100% stock. still no connection. if we leave it scanning long enough it comes up with "bluetooth has failed" or "bluetooth connection force closed" im sorry i cant recall the exact wording as last i messed with it was 2 weeks ago.
we've already replaced the player with another one, but i'd hate to toss this one out if its something i can fix in some way. does anyone have any ideas? is it possible the bluetooth chip is dead? I cannot recall if wifi was out to, but i want to say it was but i cant actually get into the OS to be able to double check.
since its back to factory image, then USB debugger is not enabled so im not sure if i can run ABD on it now, and im not sure how i would even connect a keyboard to it, ive tried a usb dongle cable thru the microusb port but either the cable is junk or it just couldnt recognize the keyboard or mouse.
We have 2 of these devices and the remotes stopped working and pairing with them around 7.0 or so.
Tried new batteries, swapping the remotes between devices with no luck.
Can still pair other devices like smartphones and controllers successfully, so it doesn't appear to be a Bluetooth stack issue...

sadly mine wont pair with anything. remotes, controllers, smartphone. and it was on a custom ROM pure nexus for the last 6 months or so
