PS3 Controller BT Now Working on TN7!!!

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!

Is there any way to connect a PS4 controller to the 6P?

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

Problem pairing Gen 1 Shield TV game controller with updated 2015 Shield TV

The game controller was working great until yesterday's 5.0.2 update. After my 2015 Shield TV updated and stabilized (and was restarted a few times for good measure,) I realized the controller was no longer working or paired. Now I can't pair it at all.
I fully charged it up just in case. I hold the Nvidia logo on both Shield TV and Controller until they both start blinking, set them within inches of one another, but they never pair. They just keep blinking forever, and I let them sit like this for 30 minutes. I tried countless times with same result - no matter what I do they just don't pair.
I did not yet try to pair the actual Shield TV remote because I use a Logitech Harmony Ultimate with Hub, and it's working fine via IR, so there's no BT interference there. I also have another BT game controller from my old Amazon Fire TV. It's listed as paired under "Other controllers" but I haven't tested it yet.
Has anyone encountered this problem? What workarounds can I try?
I upgraded yesterday and then did a factory reset, paired the controller fine but was a bit trickier than when i first setup with MM.
What i did was just hold the nvidia logo on the controller from my couch(no need to touch the SATV) and KEPT pressing it until the shield recognised and paired it, so do not remove your finger when it starts blinking. Took less than 20 seconds.
You could also "forget" the controller (removing any trace of it; like when you forget a wifi network) if you get bad behavior and then try pairing again as i did.

I'll try a factory reset when I get home today. I can't "forget" the controller because it's not paired yet.
For some reason my controller only pairs when the shield is connected via WiFi. It won't connect when it's using ethernet!? And it was the same on MM too. Any ideas guys?

I also paired it while connected to wifi but now i have plugged in ethernet cable and controller keeps working. Didnt have to repair. The only thing i notice is that the back button (left side of nvidia button) is not working properly. In MM 3.3 i remember worked fine.

Same problem here. Been fine since new, and hasn’t used it for a month or two and charged it and nothing. Can’t re pair it at all it just flashes .
You have to to disable ipv6 in the network settings

Galaxy A40 Bluetooth Lag

When using a wireless Xbox One controller using bluetooth, the controller sometimes seems to not register input and just remember the last pressed button and keep broadcasting it, then start working again. The controller is working perfectly, tested with another phone and my pc as well. What can cause such behaviour and did anyone else run into such a thing? If yes how did you fix it?
