So I have seen videos on youtube of people using their Xbox one controller in the USB converter for the s7 edge. But when I connect my controller to my phone, it turns my phone off, and if I leave it plugged in tries to boot but gets past the Samsung logo. Then it reboots and loops.
Is there any way I could bridge it using my laptop?
Say if I plug my Xbox controller into my windows 10 laptop. Then I connect my phone via USB debugging.
I want this since I've just got the Gear VR and some of the good games require a controller.

A quick Google search showed that you can pair a Xbox one controller with the edge using Bluetooth, provided that your controller is able to be paired. The Xbox link above details that.
As for the USB adapter and the boot loop, sounds like it's a common issue when plugging an Xbox controller into the S7.

Hi Guys,
Just bought the multimedia docks of Tab 10.1 and Tab 7 and swapped their center ports to be able to have HDMI out on Tab 10.1 dock as per suggested by Task and many others. As the HDMI out on the dock is a mini HDMI out, I bought a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter and then connected it via my existing hdmi cable to my HDTV. But there's no picture coming out on the TV. Do I need to flash any specific kernel for it to work? What am I missing? Please let me know !
Do you have your Tab plugged into the wall charger? I think it needs to be.
offcourse its connected and charging the tab. But no picture on tv
Ok, I am having the same probelm as well. I am very noob soplease don't slam me, but I have both parts listed above and it will kind of work. By kinbd of I mean that I left the tab docked and after 5 minutes of leaving it docked it mirroed on the tv, tried running some apps:
you tube: would stream on the tv but the tab was a black screen
netflix: stream on both, audio on tv only; which was what I expected
sling box: same as netflix
angry birds: would studder, I would launch a bird and n the tab watch the resulying chaos, but the the was black screen until the actions were done, but Audio was still out of the tv
Lastly, a partial thread jacking, I assumed that this hdmi was working know so I tried the RCA hook-up....nothing. then tried to switch back to hdm and after about 10 minutes of hitting apps and acting like a cave man; it mirrors on the screen again. I checked all my cables are tight and new.
Any help why this is going in and out.
thanks

please ignore my misspellings and typo's, but I am back.
Since my last post, I turned off the tv and sent the tab to sleep mode. when I left it, it was working fine. Just powered the tv back on and nothing, tried running netflix and still nothing.
If anything needs to be done with the settings please let me and others know

Assuming the PS3 controller is compatible, any working OTG cable should work. I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/T-Flash-Adapter-Samsung-GT-i9100-GT-N7000/dp/B005FUNYSA
But if you have a ps3 controller, why not just use Bluetooth + the SixaxisController app?

This is the one I bought the price is high but all the other ones come from Hong Kong. It does work very well just not all games work with the PS3 controller. Dead trigger does work flawless.

I am debating getting a NX7 but I have a question. Wondering if anyone can try this out for me
I want to know if it's possible to do this setup
Nexus7>USB OTG cable> 4 port USB HUB and in the hub...
1.) sdcard reader with an sdcard full of games(ROMS) for emulators since I don't want to fill up the internal space.
2.) USB controller (xbox controller or ps3 controller) to play games off of the sdcard reader.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Yes i had otg cable hooked to 4 port hub. I had usb and mouse and ps3 controller and it all worked had card reader hooked up but i didnt use it i games on usb. I think you'll be good to go.

Just curious, did the hub have to be powered from an outlet or could the n7 power it? Playing the game off of the sdcard could work if the SD card is fast one like class 10. You could install the emulator on internal memory and keep the games on SD if the app let's you choose a folder to load games from.
no 7 powered all of it

And if you can try, yes, definitely connect your laptop to Ethernet, at least to get that out of the way.
I am unable to connect to a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter version 1. I updated firmware on miracast device to latest available but it still wont connect for more that few seconds. I am using the samsung smart view on quick settings. Any suggestions to get this to work? a different app or settings? need miracast because I don't have a wifi network connection where i am using the phone. if someone has an MS wireless display adapter v2, can the s8 cast to that?
Thanks for any advice.
I have the same problem. Typing code. Then a mirror that plugs into the S8 Galaxy and disconnects.
What is the solution?
tested version 2 and it wont connect either.
I can tell you that it casts flawlessly to chromecast v2. Maybe will be worth an upgrade to that?
I have the galaxy s7 edge and could connect using an app from the app store called Miracast Display Finder. However on the Galaxy s8 i cannot connect.

I was able to get my galaxy s8 plus to successfully connect to the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter V2. I even watched a movie that I had on my device that was aprox.. 1.5 hrs with no issues!
To get it to work, I had to hold the reset button on the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter for 10 seconds to reset it. After 15 mins of it saying that it is restarting i got impatient and I unplugged it. Once booted back up it connected fine using the built in "Smart View" quick toggle in the notification area. Keep in mind that this setting is normally at end of the quick toggles list. You can find it by pulling down twice on the notification bar, and then swiping the quick toggles left, then click "Smart View". Make sure your Display Adapter is connect to the TV/Device prior to and it'll show up as an option to "miracast" to.
Just in case anyone is wondering, I have the stock latest firmware AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955USQS1AQG1 and the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter V2 with Firmware version: 2.0.8372.
I have Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Tablet and Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter connected to my Samsung Smart 55" Curve TV with current firmware V2.0.8372 installed on tablet BUT I CAN NOT CONNECT MY TABLET / ADAPTER TO TV? Please offer solution. Thanks
Hello,
I had similar issues.
I fixed it by updating the firmware on the M$ Wireless device to 1.3.8365.
To do this, get a Windows 10 PC. Download the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter application from the M$ store. Connect to the device and you should have an option to update firmware.
Easy....once you know that the firmware can be updated.
