i have 2 touchpads and if i lay them together ( one over the other) then they connect together via bluetooth. but what is the advantage of it? what can i do after connecting them together? is it possible to play games with 2 touchpads together or interact in some way?
It's for TP to Pre 3, but it also works TP to TP, I think you can only share weblinks though TP to TP.
can you tell me how?

I have seen some apps around that make it possible to play games with some gamepads. However, i dont own one of those gamepads.
On my computer i use a cordless Logitech rumblepad 2 for gaming. I tried some of these apps to get my pad working, but offcourse if its not compatible it wont work .
I saw that when i put my pad in my tablet, that the light of the receiver goes on. Means it sees the gamepad right???
My question is how hard would it be to get my pad connected to my tablet so i can use it with games? Think i only need a driver for it but offcourse there is no such driver. Would this be way to hard for someone with average knowledge of android?
Did you find the answer to your question yet?
With the Tablet S now being successfully rooted (hurrah, and much kudos to djrbliss!) does this now open up the possibility of using the Tablet S as a bluetooth controller for the PS3?
One of the main uses of my Tablet S is as a universal IR remote control, but it's still not capable of controlling the PS3 (as a Blu-Ray or media centre) which is a shame. With root achieved, will that open up the possibility of having the Tablet S paired to the PS3 as a controller? That would be sweet ...
Ta,
Jon
Phew! lol
From that title I thought you wanted to be able to play PS3 games with a massive on screen controller on your tab. That would be a little too crazy for my liking haha.
Anyways, my tablet already works as a remote for my PS3...but there is a catch.
I have a fairly new Wifi Sony 3DTV that has HDMI control. It just lets you control attached HDMI devices with the TV remote as long as the attached HDMI device is compatible with that feature.
I don't think the HDMI control feature is new at all tho. It's worth checking the settings for your TV and PS3 and seeing if you can just set both devices to "ON" for this. It's a really sweet feature! I can even turn my PS3 on and of with the tablet S this way too.
Thanks for the hint - I'll have to check into that when I'm at home tonight. The TV is 'fairly' new - Philips bought about 3-4 years ago, so it may work for me. Fingers crossed.
A super-size PS3 controller to play games via the Tablet S would be a bit weird Some kind of remote view/mirror would be pretty awesome though.
Many games are not suited to a keyboard/mouse setup. A solution to this problem is to use your PS3 controller as a joystick for PC games.
Blueput Droid may help. I never got it working on my rooted Nexus One, but maybe it'll work on the Tablet S. I'm sure it's been updated since i last tried it too. I haven't rooted my tablet yet so I can't try it.

I can confirm that BluePutDroid does work on my Tablet S. It took a couple of pairing attempts to complete, but it does seem to control the PS3. The 'X' and 'O' of the virtual sixaxis are mixed up though, and it does seem like a bit of a faff to get to the control section.
Overall though, a good start. A whinge to Sony would be that it is now demonstrated this can work, so why don't they add the functionality to their remote app? It seems like a no-brainer to me...
I'm turning blue trying to figure out how to setup my flyer with an mhl-cable to the tv while connecting my wireless dongle at the same time so that I can play games on the tv.
I bought a usb-hub, and was eventually capable of connecting the xbox dongle in order to play games on the flyer. However, I can't figure out how to get the picture to the tv instead, so that I can use it as a regular console. It's either only the tv, or only the dongle (via a usb-hub connected to a usb otg-cable) that could be plugged in. Has anyone else been able to get both working, and if so, how?
I'm running stock HC, I've got a nokia ca-157 cable, an mhl-adapter and a usb-hub.
Not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but you cannot operate USB OTG and MHL video at the same time. If you need wireless you should use a router, not the USB connection.

He's trying to use an Xbox controller(corded) for games on his flyer, and output the display of those games to the TV...which as you said isn't possible.
Ok, now I understand. Correct, not physically possible.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
I did refer to wireless controllers that connects to an xbox-usb-dongle that is needed, since MS didn't choose to use regular Bluetooth.
I know it would be easier with ps3- or wii-controllers since they only need regular bluetooth. Though, they're very expensive, so I'd prefer trying to get my wireless xbox controllers work. But if it's not possible to use wireless xbox controllers and tv-out simultaneously, I guess I'll have to go shopping.
How about using this Bluetooth controller for $39.99.

DigitalMD,
They're not available in my country, unfortunately. Thanks for your help, anyway!
casperi,
No, I was probably wrong about that one as well. Most HTC devices apparently won't work with sixaxis. Really annoying since I bought the flyer with the intention of using it as a video game console. I knew several others were capable of it, and HTC are known for good quality, so it seemed reasonable it would work. Hope Google's tablet will work better.
Hi,
I am going to get a new android tablet (probably the nexus 7 2nd gen) and I want to use my xbox 360 controllers with it.
I am going to use this that way:
Tablet->USB OTG->Wireless receiver
and connect the 2 controllers wirelessly.
I know that this is possible to connect 1 controller that way,but will I be able to connect 2 controllers that ways and get the tabler to recognize them?
thank you.
I want to try it by myself. Did it work?
I tried many times pairing the Dualshock 4 with the Nexus 9 via bluetooth, but it gets stuck in pairing and does not connect. No errors or anything, just hangs there, and then the controller eventually times out of new connection pairing mode.
Connecting the Dualshock 4 via OTG cable works flawlessly, but what I really hoped for was a wireless connection.
On the other hand, the Dualshock 4 connects to my Nexus 4 via bluetooth just fine, out of the box with no additional software, which is why I expected it to work the thr Nexus 9 too. Although it's not very usable.. It's perfect for a little bit, very responsive, but then it's starts to lag to a point where it's unusable... Off topic, but anyone has experience with this lag issue too?
Anyways, main question is has anyone tried to pair their Dualshock 4 with the Nexus 9 out of the box via bluetooth and got it to work? If yes, is it usable? If no.. why not?
Solved:
Sixaxis works like a champ. I used a computer to pair up the controller with the Nexus 9 for Bluetooth use by installing their pairing program, and everything works well, including the touch pad. Glad I took the Dualshock 4 over the Xbox One controller!
I recommend reading this: http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html
If followed their instructions, it should be all good. Good luck all, and happy gaming!
i have dualshock 3 controllers and have to use the sixaxis app to use bleutooth.

How does that tool work? I've read about it but haven't tried yet.. To my (limited) understanding, you'd use a computer to help pair the controller with the device for the first time, and then later on it would just pair properly every time, without the need for the computer?

excactly. its just like you need to pair up the ps3 controller with the ps3 for the first time.
after that just start the app and press the home button on the controller.
I have used 2 controllers at the same time works flawlesly.
Tomorow a friend will bring 2 extra controllers.
so i will try to connect 4 at the same time.
It will be epic playing smash bross
Same here, even after the 5.0.1 update, it still refuses to connect to my dualshock 4
