I have the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S pen (2016) SM-P580 and I'm having trouble connecting my PS4 controller. I've tried putting it in pairing mode and while bluetooth says it's connected it doesn't work, I've also connected it through otg cable with no success as well. Is their anything else I can try, any suggestions.

Hi All,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I bought MHL 2.0 and OTG cables.
Both are working fine, if it is used separately.
Meaning, connecting MHL cable to T.V's HDMI for watching movies, videos in bigger screen is superb.
Similiarly, connecting OTG for external thumb drive, keyboard and mouse are nice feature.
I want to use both MHL and OTG cable (wireless keyboard / mouse USB dongle connected to OTG), so that I can watch it in TV and also use mouse and keyboard. I have tried the below options:
Option1:
Connected MHL to TV and Note 3. In MHL we have micro USB for power but for Note 3, MHL don't need the separate power supply and so I have tried connecting OTG to the MHL power, but it is not detected
Option 2:
I have googled and came to know Samsung Smart Hub Dock, but it says not compatiable for Note 3 and S5
Option 3:
Googled more and got this "VicTsing® Multi-functional 3 in 1 Connection Kit USB OTG" but unfortunately this also mentioned not supported to use both MHL and OTG at the same time.
Week back only I have bought new wireless keyboard and mouse for $90 and don't want to spend again in buying bluetooth keyboard and mouse which would cost (more than $150)
Any suggestions on how to connect MHL (for HDMI) and OTG(for connecting wireless keyboard/mouse) at the same time
I can offer you some work arounds. I personally use BT mouse and keyboard. (BTW a kind of stupid oversight I use microsoft sculpt bt mouse that I remember specifically states on the box full android functionality not that I cared at the time, anyway when only the mouse is connected I cant get the on screen keyboard to work as if the mouse HID is recodnized as both)
there are more then a few software sollutions involving sharing HID via Wifi through your pc and router or computer to phone BT connection. or aby tablet as remote on screen HID but I think having a good cheap BT set near by is generally usefull for more then a few things so I do believe its worth the one time spending.
On another note I couldent figure out if Samsung has a Multimedia Dock Specifically for Note 3 since it would be more then ideal

There is one that works
See this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/accessories/mhl-usb-otg-t1741583/page22
SKU: 238273 on DealExtreme DX.com
That is the one I have and the same one "brb8two" mentions in comment #217.
It works perfect with my S4 and also works with my Wireless Xbox receiver, but it is MHL 1.0 which I believe is NOT a full 60frames or whatever, so it may appear slightly laggy but not bad and definitley better than the Samsung hub option for $99.
If you come across one with MHL 2.0 please let me know. Haven't been able to find one yet.
Hi
I have Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 LTE SM-T535.
Does anyone know a way or a device that will enable charging the tablet and connecting it to another device via OTG?
I have tried several devices/usb splitters in order to simultaneously charge the tablet while connecting it to an additional device via OTG. None of them worked. However, I succeeded to achieve that only once: The tablet was in charging and then when I connected it to another device, the tablet remain charging and I was able to use the connected device. So I know that i should be possible. Unfortunately, I failed to reproduces the same result.

i think you use the pc version. this will not work. is an special protocol what there is used.... sorry. you need another controller
You could use usb OTG and get a wireless receiver for your controller. They go for quite cheap on amazon/ebay.
It's the same with DS4 controller.
Easy to connect with bluetooth. Detected by the phone (Wireless controller).
But not working. Butons do nothing.
But it was working on previous samsung mobiles.
It seems that Samsung blocked wireless controller in order to force to use their controller.
Hello!

Hello all,
I have a USB type C to HDMI cable that I've had for a while now, and it has worked marvelously for connecting phones and laptops to the TV through HDMI. I have one small problem though, it does not work on my own Galaxy s9+ anymore. It still works just fine with other devices.
Does anyone have any advice on how to troubleshoot this problem? I would prefer to not have to flash my phone. It is the unlocked variant running stock firmware. Thank you!
