Or buy the dock, root, then take it back. There is no restocking fees for returned accessories at corporate stores.

or go to a sprint store and use the hd station display to root your phone. I did it after someone else in another post made a tinyurl to download the appropriate file. It's really simple. Can't wait to use my ps3 controllers! Hope games like shadowgun come with the capability built in but i doubt it.
It just hangs on mine with the Sixaxis compatibility checker (yes I'm rooted). Are you on MR3 ?

Dock-less root now possible
Has anyone got this to work on our phones yet?
I am rooted. I can get the controller to pair, and I can get the controller to dump the mapped keys into text boxes, but not in any emulator.
The stranger part is that I can map the keys in Gameboid, Snesoid, and PSX4Droid using the controller itself (so I know the emulator is reading it) but once I go to the game I get 0 response from the controller.
Just kidding. Had to enable bluetooth controllers in other settings. Confirmed working 100%

Had it working mint for the past few weeks
Just had a system update (45.2.7) and now it doesn't
When I try to start it, now it says "permission denied"
If I stop and start it, it says "ps3 remote wants to pair, please initiate using phone"
when I try to sync from my phones bluetooth settings it asks for a pin and then times out
gonna try uninstalling and going through the setup procedure again when I have time, just wondering if anyone else had this problem
ETA- just checked out the update thread, turns out I lost root, meh
Did you reroot?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Not yet, I have tuesday off so I'll mess around with it then and post what I needed to do to get it working again
Hopefully it's just a re-root
Eta- just needed to root it again, works fine
to get root again will take all of about 4 mins, but if you erased your settings then youll have to do all that work again. but im glad to find out this phone has a nice enough bt stack to work with it. anyone try playing minecraft with it?
can anybody tell me which emulators support the ps3 controller

Well thought I might help some people who may be interested in turning their phone into a mobile gaming device currently I have set up Super gnes from market. On my evo 3d but the fun comes with better game play using my ps3 controller to play. Alot smoother than using touch screen controls if interested let me know. Must be rooted with AOSP rom first I'm currently using miui. And yes I'm sure alot of you may already know but we were all noobs at one point so this threads for you guys if interested

If you buy the Sixaxis controller app you can pair your ps3 control with your phone.
It can be used but before buying the app get the free pairing tool and must have an aosp rom currently does not work with sense so cm7 or miui are your best bets if you find it does work about $6 in the market and your ready to go $2 for siaxis controller application and $4 for snes emulator there is a free version of emulator but it doesn't have as many features plus I like to stay updated
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Well I'm also a father and student so I will try and stay as up to date with those who would like help as I can so first steps always backup make a nand back up and find a aosp rom I recommend miui then get the free sixaxis application from market and read the directions in the application you will need a pc to change your controlers Bluetooth address don't worry your control will still work with your ps3 however make sure your ps3 is off when changing the address otherwise it will keep trying to connect to your ps3 rather than your phone. Will check in tomorrow to see what else I can help with for now try that out and goodnight

the Infamous Youzh's emu apps are still free if you want to take a look (except the N64, but $5 is way worth it.)

For the record I installed snesoid, gensoid, and nesoid (Google to find cause they were pulled from the market, I had purchased these prior btw but had to hunt them down) and the sixaxis app was like $1.79, and as mentioned the pairing tool is free. Works flawlessly on Miui...

cant stop playing shadowgun though. best 6$ ever
Will this work for most other games like Gameloft, Glu, Unity games?
Good question haven't tried yet as my time is very limited but I can look into it unless some one else already has. I will be the first to say I'm not the best at anything here just trying to help where I feel I can everything I know has been someone else's exploits that I taught myself through reading and you tube, and lemme tell ya YouTube can be your best friend when in a bind

I think you just need to hold the PS button for about 5-10 seconds. (I think)
I can't get it to stop blinking when I'm playing though......
Didn't blink with my dualshock, but my old sixaxis I'm having no luck.

great, do let me know if you come across a similar issue... i would like to pair a few more devices [headset/speaker/mouse], but no luck :[
DO any of you guys know whether I have to purchase the dock to enable the PS3 controller to work?
i had it plugged in to the usb port on the dock when i initially paired mine, but now i simply turn on the bt and push the ps button and it pairs in a couple seconds... just try it and see if it works[?]

Well I downloaded the sixaxis comparability app and it said my phone will work with a PS3 controller. My main worry is will some $20 ebay offbrand controller work?
Its both bluetooth and it uses the regular PS3 drivers for compatibility with the PS3 so I dont really see why not I just dont want to drop money on something that wont work.

You'd be better off spending the extra $30 and buy a legit ps3 controller. If it doesn't work, then return it. You can get a used one from gamestop for like $35 or something.
Droidmote an app in the market if you have an old phone (Android) you can use that a controller and the Dev has tons of videos on how to make it work for any game I use my note as controller for my Acer a500 work like a charm plus it only 2 bucks

Just for the score I tried a fake controller from Amazon and it did not work, original Sony worked fine. Wish the games worked in analog with the analog sticks though. I only played Grand theft Auto and it wasn't that great. I understand ICS is supposed to be the key to being able to fully implement analog.
Okay so I went to game stop and asked them if I could test a controller and the six axis app said no device found. I tried a few things and I could not get it to work. I'm highly skeptical now.
I'm on CM9 but that should make no difference.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
The Sixaxis work on the Galaxy Note so you must be doing something wrong. Did you install The Sixaxis Pair Tool on your PC and connect your controller to change the Bluetooth address? You cannot just turn them on and pair them you need to change the address from your PC. Here is a video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTbc2Se5S3A&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Mine works and I am on CM9. I have 3 PS3 controllers paired.

Oh no I did not connect to PC and change the address. Ill look on ebay for a controller now.

No no no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You MUST change the Bluetooth address on the ps3 controller using your COMPUTER. Otherwise it will search for its last paired ps3
OR just get micro USB cable to mini USB cable and CONNECT!

I recently found out that wiimotes unfortunately don't work with galaxy players, because of samsung's proprietary Bluetooth stack (I hate how Samsung messes up the best features of android!). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has better success with any other game controllers, particularly ps3 controllers? Or are our players fully incompatible with any game controller?

I have tried the ps3 controller and it works fine just download the sixaxis controller app from the market and the pair tool from their website http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
Run the app, look and the little number on the bottom after you push start then copy them down
go to your computer run the pair tool and copy the number from your phone to there and click update
ps3 controller should now be able to connect to your galaxy player
Great! Do you have to use the PC every time you want to use your controller with your galaxy player, or is it a one time step?

Well, the app was just updated to fix the error, so problem solved! One thing I am not certain about is this; I have read that if you buy a brand new ps3 controller, it will need to be paired to a ps3 before you can use it with this app. Now, I don't have a ps3, but could I buy a used ps3 controller that has already been paired to someone's ps3 and would that work?

I doubt it I see no reason that it needs to be paired with the ps3 when you connect a control to a ps3 it only gets the bluetooth address so you can use it with the console.
And beside you'll be changing that anyways with your computer. I doubt you'll need a ps3. I and if I'm wrong return the controller back.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a new remote has to be activated by a ps3 console or something though, who knows. I'll probably buy a used one anyway, since new ones cost a crazy amount of money, and it sounds like few third-party remotes work.

I guess one of the benefits would be to hook your phone up to it at work and pretend to be working on the computer while you are actually texting or playing poker. I dunno.
i used to be able to do something similar over bluetooth or wifi a few years back, but i have yet to find the program i used, and i will assume you would need to be rooted. its a cool idea in many ways, but its use i feel is more of a cool or sneaky factor.
Yeah, I am hard pressed to find a really good reason to buy one. Being cool is a good reason though.
