I tried my Dualshock 4 with my brother's One M8 and it worked perfectly with an OTG cable. On my Z5, I get the phone to detect from connectivity it at which point the lightbar becomes a solid colour instead of blinking but no input is detected.
Any solutions?
Have you told it to detect usb device?

+1 - Because the Sony now has external exposed usb port, they can't power it continuously otherwise you would have issues if it got wet.
In the settings, device connection, right down the bottom is USB connectivity, select this. Note you can also add this to your quick settings by clicking the edit icon in the quick settings, and add detect USB device.
I got caught out with this on my DSLR controlling app, until I did a searches
Yeah tried going into USB connectivity and as mentioned, the lightbar goes from flashing blue to solid amber. However no input is being registered.
My controller connects via Bluetooth. Have you tried that?

Try the Bluetooth option. It worked for me. Switching Bluetooth on on your phone and then hold down the "Share" button and the "PS" button on your controller. That puts it in to discovery mode. Your phone should find it.

The reason I got the OTG cable was because input lag made playing games difficult. Either way I tried connecting via Bluetooh first and then discovering the USB connection, however my phone just instead charges the DS4. When I turn Bluetooth off, there is no longer any input and the colour changes from dark blue to amber.

There's an app on the Play Store called Sixaxis Controller. If I remember right, it installs drivers on your phone which mimic the controls of a DS4. Not ideal, but at least it works.

I'll try the app, I'm not too fussed if I still have all my buttons working. More importantly how likely is the cable at fault? Again it worked perfectly on my little brother's M8.
Isn't the sixaxis controller required rooted device??

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.

Just picked up the G2 a couple days ago. I've owned an Android before but never got into the rooting and rom flashing process. My problem is mostly that I used my iPhone in my car (a Kenwood head unit) for the stereo. I was able to control the music and sounds via the phone. However, the G2 doesn't work this way. Most I can get so far is the ability to select and play songs via the headunit, which with 1000+ songs is extremely inconvenient. I owned a Samsung Infuse years ago and that was able to work, but it was done by selecting USB Mass Storage I believe. I've done some research but I can't seem to find a straight answer on how to go about enabling that. Is there any way around this? It be awesome to be able to use my phone in the car.
What's the model of your car stereo? Maybe you can connect it with an AUX cable or Bluetooth, if your stereo supports it.

It's a Kenwood MP345-U. It does have an aux cable, however there is sound quality loss with that. Bluetooth I'm honestly not sure whether or not it has, I've read somewhere I can purchase a Bluetooth USB that the phone can connect to. My main concern was I was able to charge my phone before along with it pausing the music during a phone call, etc.

Since the phone can function only in media player mode (MTP), I don't think you can play it any other way than through the AUX cable. CWM recovery has the option of mounting internal storage as USB storage, but that's a highly, highly impractical solution.
You CAN do this but it is specific to CM ROMs. Probably 10.3. I don't know if its working on CM11 KitKat yet.
Its called USB Audio or something.
I'd also check out a Bluetooth solution if it would work. Then you could just plug in audio and use an NFC sticker to turn on BT and launch a music player. If you have a Verizon, you can also do wireless charging, so you can just drop your phone down on a mat and have everything just start working automatically.

There is only quality loss with anything OTHER than AUX. The AUX and only the AUX on this phone is capable of delivering 24bit audio. The downside is, well, 2 cords.
Problem Using Bluetooth
The problem with using Bluetooth is that you can't use voice commands to pick tracks to play.

You need to enabled mtp fix and then place the widget on the home screen...once you connect the normal USB cable just click on the widget

I did that. I enabled MTP fix rebooted and plugged in,what I did notice is that it seems to mount for a second or 2 sometimes and then it unmounts right away. I tried it on 2 work computers also and under my computer, the LG pops up as a drive for a quick second and then it un mounts. What the heck is going on.,I have screen shots of what is happening.It always pops up on the top of the screen with SD Card Unmounted when I tap the widget to mount. Something is causing it to Unmount it appears, any ideas?Since I Rooted the phone, when i hookup the usb cable it says that i am connected as installer, could that have anything to do with it?
Hi,
I've tried using a USB3.0 cable but my system still says its only running at high speed (usb 2) not super speed (usb3)
same results with mac os and windows 8.1
windows: using usbview on windows as documented here :
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog...sb-3-0-device-is-operating-at-superspeed.aspx
mac: using system information.
is this a firmware limitation or is it happening with every unit?
There should be a setting in the storage area to enable USB 3.0. By default it will always initially connect at 2.0 unless that toggle is flipped

Itll be on the USB PC connection screen. Plug your S5 into the PC and tap the notification that should say Connected as MTP. Itll bring you to the screen with the selection. Itll have to be enabled each time you connect the cable from what I know

I've never seen that option, if i plug in the usb cable then go to notifications and click "connected as a media device"
when i tap it i get the option to connect as a media device (mtp) or camera (ptp)
and nothing else.
no other option, no menu.
You are using a USB 3.0 cable and port with USB 3.0 drivers installed?
Especially the driver part

ok i have found the reason.
the Australian firmware (straight from samsung, not carrier related) is severely crippled.
it has usb 3 disabled completely.
i flashed the taiwanese firmware on my device and now under windows when i plug it in i get the usb3 option on the phone, when activated it works perfectly. mac osx doesn't work.
i can't believe how crippled the Australian firmware is, no auto rotate in gallery, not able to turn off shutter sound in camera, can't modify the dock. no camera on lock screen, no usb3 support, and probably more...

Night...
I had a crack on my digitizer / touch screen on my LG G3 but it was not large enough to damage it entirely. I ordered a new assembly but it took forever to arrive as the model (D858HK) was not available locally in my area and had to shipped from China. Here are some useful tips if you face a similar situation and you need some time before you can get the mobile repaired:
1. With a USB OTG cable, the mouse works! Even a wireless adapter that connects to mouse and keyboard works (....I was using these with my desktop)!
2. With bluetooth pairing, you can have a keyboard and mouse from an app installed on another mobile (I used Blackberry).
3. LG Keyboard app has a one handed operation that shifts the keyboard to either right or left of the screen. If you activate that, then the keyboard can shift to one side of the screen where touch still works.
4. Latest versions of TWRP can also handle USB mouse and are a big relief for taking backups before sending over the mobile to a repair shop.
5. Rotation Control app can enable rotation to all angles and even for apps that do not otherwise permit rotation.
6. If you do not have a mouse handy and want to take a TWRP backup, then Flashify can come in handy. Read up on openrecovery scripting that can be handled by TWRP.
7. If you are rooted with xposed and tweaksbox installed, then you can crowd the navigation bar with additional buttons such that the 3 must have buttons are at a place where touch screen works. Even otherwise, navigation bar can take up to 5 buttons.
8. If you want to use the 4G capabilities of the mobile with other phones, you can try bluetooth or wi-fi tethering. While bluetooth tethering does not consume too much power, wifi tethering can be power hungry. A way to get around that is to use Automate app and set rules there, which help you automate the wifi hotspot and switch it off later according to requirement (fixed intervals, when another device connects on bluetooth, when a notification arrives etc etc).
9. Keep MTP enabled and learn to use ADB.
10. Use a bluetooth headset to receive calls.
11. Use T-Action to receive calls and gesture settings to turn down volume / ignore calls.
12. Activating auto correct for keyboards can also help.
...maybe some more and I will add these later as they come to mind.
But hope you never face this problem. Cheers,
Couldn't have said it better, I'm stuck using a mouse for now also-battery life is horrible using a usb mouse though

Bluetooth mouse delivers much better battery life. But then, I had to use mouse for some very specific purposes as 80% of touch screen was working for me.
Yeah i left the few Bluetooth mice I had at my dad's house only to realize he lost all the usb receiver pieces... Time to get a new one as only half the left side about a half inch in and sometimes the bottom works if I'm patient...

But with a Bluetooth mouse and an android phone that has Bluetooth, why would you need a receiver? They should be able to connect directly on Bluetooth.
Hi,
Is there any reason why the Z force disconnects a few seconds after connecting OTG?
In other words, the device recognizes the OTG and teh USB as well but soon after it ejects!
I have tried different OTG options (cables and jacks) but the problem does not go away!

the solution (I guess) has revealed itself.
if you have more than one OTG controller, i.e. exfat apk, file manager + or similar, app on your mobile then the phone tends to eject the usb unless you choose one of those apps as "default".

Update:
Unfortunately, what I experienced was not a solution but a temporary illusion!
The problem persists; the USB OTG keeps dropping!
I guess it is a kernel issue as there is a disconnection between the software and the hardware.
Happy to have your thoughts.
Cheers,
I have this issue too. I have tried more than a dozen devices from different manufacturers to see if there is one that works. Occasionally, I get a connection that will last for at most 10 minutes, but this is about 1 out of 100 times. Most times, it disconnects within seconds.
