I guess I'm a total noob. I rebooted the tablet and now the 360 controls work fine! FFS
Read on if you want to know what the problem was...
I have tried to use my xbox360 wireless controller with wired PC dongle and a xbox360 wired control in the USB port of the dock and the wireless dongle lights up only when i push the button then i sync the control and the light goes off and the control wont map in any of the emu's or games I tried where the WII-mote worked. The wired one doesn't even turn on (flickers on then off .2 sec) when plugged in. Am I missing something do I have a defective doc? I also happen to have a ps3 control and that also doesn't work with the USB cable and the six-axises app. App says its compatible with the Transformer Prime but it always just asks me to pug the USB in even tho its plugged in. Any ideas? Does the Dock need a certain amount of charge does it have to be plugged into the wall to have enough power? Wireless dongle light goes off after the control is synced, is that normal? Could it be because its rooted?
(4.0.3 ICS brand spanking new Transformer Prime w/ wired 360 control, wireless PC dongle & wireless 360 control, and PS3 control with USB wire and Six-Axises app plugged to dock with no success)
Did you fix this? I have the same issue.

So I have the prime and a ps3 controller and i changed the controller mac address to the primes and i can get it to connect using the sixaxis app but when i open up and emulator and try to configure the controls it registers one of the joysticks and the dpad as the same and wont even register the other joystick, did i do something wrong? also USB/BT Joystick Center wont even detect the controller, and I dont have the usb adapter or keyboard. It sees the right joystick and dpad as the same and wont detect the left analog stick movement besides pressing L3

Just to let you know the ps3 controller works on the prime without any root or sixaxis app. Just turn on BT on the prime, plug in the ps3 controller through usb port and turn on the Ps3 controller. Wait a few secs so it can pair, unplug and your up and running without any cables. Been using mine with bluetooth without any problems.

I don't have the usb adapter :/
bump still got no solution without USB adapter!
In your emulators settings (I use nesoid, snesoid etc) did you go into Other Settings> and check "Use Input Method" ? It says enable special input device eg bluetooth gamepad.
I have the same issue and I have the paid version and after. 21 update it doesn't work which really pisses me off... .21 update worst update so far? Fair to say?

Would this solve your problem? I haven't gotten mine yet but for that price it's worth a shot with the stock USB cable. I have the dock so my PS3 controller plugged right up.
no its been proven that that wont work, the usb charging cable doesnt have the correct pins for usb inputs, only the usb adapter does

Hi there!
Very new to this but have a quick query.
I'm in NZ. Have updated to ICS. Want to pair PS3 controller WITHOUT Root. Have a theory. So did the following.
- Bought the PS3 Controller Pairing Tool and USB/BT Joystick Center 6 from App Developer POKE64738
- He says that these appas can work on ANY android phone
- Had no luck finding a cable to connect the controller to the phone until I saw a "New USB 2.0 Mini-A 5-Pin Female to Micro-B Male Adapter F/M Data Cable Converter" on ebay.
- By theory, the "Pairing tool" on the phone should pick this up.
Any feedback from you guys!?
Shot fullahs!
UPDATE
UPDATE!
Have purchased the cable (
Apparently trying to pair a PS3 controller to the Xperia S is a mish and that a 3rd party controller will be just as good! But the problem is I want to go Bluetooth and not play through USB (though I wouldn't mind it) So yeah bro's... will letchu know how it all shakes out!
At least I know that OTG works!
Kia ora!
There you go !

Guys you don't need a cable. Check this out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23749189#post23749189
And here's how to configure your PS3 sixaxiss controller : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBcO_Gt0fd4
If you feel I've helped you, use the thanks button :victory:
He said without root, so he needs the cable. I thought that if you connect the controller with cable it stays paired via bluetooth

But that's only WITH root. B3NZ0 wanted to pair PS3 controller WITHOUT Root.
That's a big difference you know.
I'm also looking for a way to connect my PS3 controller to my phone even if it's with a cable, but it seems an app is required as it gives me a power error otherwise, if I connect the controller only with the USB OTG.
The only way it will work via usb is by using livedock

Hey guys!
So the OTG works. That's fine.You just cant plug in the PS3 controller directly otherwise the phone come up with that "power consumption error" and more importantly THERE'S NO POWER CHARGE TO YOUR PHONE!
FIX 1:
You have to use a USB hub (4-port works fine/unbranded) for the error to go away. I've plugged in the PS3 controller with it's original cable and it works fine. You just need to remap the button config in the settings of your chosen emulator. You can also plug in your BT adaptors for your wireless mouse and keyboard. But then there's the power issue, so you'll also need a USB 2.0 at both ends to plug into hub and charger.
NOTE: *ID RATHER NOT DO THIS METHOD BUT IT WORKS.
FIX 2:
Cleverly enough, this V-TYPE OTG cable (USB 2.0 Female/Micro USB Male/Micro USB Female) is the way to go. Simultaneously gives charge and can connect hub, flash drives, BT adapters... You can find this on Ebay. Just enter Micro usb OTG with power.
BT ADAPTER:
I've purchased a Belkin BT Adapter (2.1+ EDR) to go wireless. So first, I tried it on MotionInJoy. Paired it and works fine! But it doesn't work when I plug into the USB hub. Apparently cos it's not CSR compatible... but it is. So will have to fiddle around with it more.
KIDIGI CRADLE:
Ive also purchased this cradle by Kidigi. It works fine and charges. Doesn't quite sit in there but you won't notice after a while and looks great! However, the rear only has the micro usb female port (for charging and data transfers) and lacks the support of an ac power input (for charging) and 2 usb 2.0 ports (for BT mouse/keyboard/ps3 controller?). You can google this or go driectly to kidigi dot com or facebook.
I've spoken with them and sent them a pic of the Xperia Ion cradle/dock (which has the mentioned features) hoping they can mimic the rear of the Ion's dock onto the NEW Kidigi Xperia S Dock 2.0!
If they actually DO MAKE THIS, then our problems would be solved! Why?
1) Nice and sleek
2) The ability to power cradle with AC adapter so no power issues
3) The addition of 2x USB 2.0 ports will allow access for our wireless peripherals (mouse/keyboard), flash drives and would no longer need an OTG as the profile would be built into it which would be good news for us users wanting to pair the PS3 controller
3RD PARTY APPS (for pairing):
To pair with an UNROOTED phone these apps would be the most suitable:
1) PS3 Controller Pairing Tool by Poke64738:
Pretty straight forward. You NEED a USB hub to do this cos of PCE (Power Consumption Error). It will ask you to turn on Bluetooth. Say yes. Then hit search. If the app can't locate it then reset the PS3 controller by pressing the rest button at the back of the controller. NOTE: This app ONLY pairs the controller to the phone!
2) USB/BT Joystick Center 6 by Poke64738:
This app is tricky so it takes time to find out how to use it. The help menu is useful so don't neglect it. After figuring it out, you must do the following:
FOR USB POWERED:
- Plug in PS3 controller with cable into HUB.
- Open USB/BT Joystick Center 6
- Window will pop-up asking to allow app to access USB device. Click OK. (note the device name in grey on the top-middle of the screen)
- Your device should show up as "PS3 USB Controller (1)"
- Touch to access the drivers.
- Test controller by pressing all the buttons. You'll notice the "buttons" in the driver slot will go red. These buttons are your default configs. You don't have to change anything just hit BACK button NOT HOME button! Hitting BACK will save the settings.
FOR WIRELESS:
I've yet to do this so will post up when I have something!
***APOLOGIES AS I CANT POST LINKS YET BUT YOU CAN GOOGLE SEARCH AND EBAY SEARCH ASWELL***

You can also possibly use the Kidigi Cradle with a Micro USB OTG with power.
Its a V cable or Y cable allowing for power charge and USB hub and PS3 Controller connected via USB

USB hub will work for ya but then again some drain and some don't! and because there are so many out there, who knows... but I have a third-party one made for the PS3 console itself and it works fine. If you want to know what i'm getting up to, check out my UPDATE reply no.3 (it's not numbered though, lol)

Algoodies bro! Nice to help out someone!!!
UPDATE #3
Hey guys!
So i've finally got the peripherals I need to do the following:
1) Pair my PS3 controller to my Xperia S successfully
2) Find an alternate power source
PAIRING:
After using the 3rd party app with a little bit of patience and persistence and a BT dongle, I have finally paired it! ABOUT TIME TOO! So now I can play my MAME games wirelessly! WOOHOO! :good: I will post up pics or vid tutorial for those who want it.
POWER SOURCE:
I have a V cable (mentioned in previous posts) that acts both as a OTG and charger (USB 2.0 female (flash drives etc) /micro USB male (OTG) /micro USB female (charge) Unfortunately, I think mine is a dud. There is no charge going through so will see what I can do.
UPDATE #4
Hey guys!
Just a reminder that this whole topic is for UNROOTED phones only. Since there is lack of support for UNROOTED phones on this very topic, I thought it would be nice if I stepped in to aid our fellow XPERIA S users out there in the world. I'm still unable to post links and pics so might put something on my facebook page if that helps.
Otherwise, i'll PUSH - post until something happens lol
LIVE wallpaper concept
Since we're on the topic of PS3, I thought to share this. My Desktop on my PC. The blue wave in the background is still but was animated to act like that of the PS3 wave. I was thinking to make some LIVE wallpaper based on the OS3 wave for Xperia phones and tablets. As you see, it has a more fluid-like texture to it rather than the flowy-movement type of the PS3 console.
I have a two week old unrooted red 300 on 4.1.1 with dock, I already had a ps3 with controllers so my controller was previously paired with ps3 ( which may be the problem). As long as I have it connected via usb to my dock it works fine, but when I disconnect the controller shuts off. I see on youtube people just connect via usb, disconnect the usb and viola, playing bluetooth but mine is not working, is there any steps or apps that I need to have before I can play wirelessly. oh and yes my bluetooth is on lol.

There shouldn't be anything special you need to do. Plug in the USB, with bluetooth on, hit the PS3 button to turn the controller on and the Bluetooth should connect with it. Double-check in the Bluetooth devices that it shows a PS3 Controller listed in the paired devices after performing the above steps.
When you disconnect the USB cable it should disconnect and turn off the controller. Just hit the PS3 button again and the lights should indicate a flash showing it's on and then switch to connected at controller 1 and the bluetooth devices will show connected in the ASUS settings.

I hope someone with more knowledge on this setup can help me out. I would ask in the JellyBam thread but I don't have enough street cred yet.
I purchased a PS3 controller and the GameKlip with the male-to-male USB adapter. I have been able to successfully pair the controller over Bluetooth with the Sixaxis app from the Play store. I would also like to use the USB cable because when paired with the app, you can't pair any other device, like my Bluetooth headset. I would also assume the USB would conserve battery on both devices.
The USB connection works randomly... so i know it's not a complete waste of time trying to get it to work.
The issue to fix is why the connection is random. My thoughts are maybe something with the Kernel that comes with JellyBam, I could try a different one, or an app that will configure the USB state to more reliably keep the controller connected.
When the controller does work it is after a random number of times connecting and disconnecting the USB cable and pressing the "P" power button on the PS3 controller. When it does connect it will highlight an icon on my home screen and I can move the selection around with the joystick. It seems to disconnect as soon as I touch the screen or enter anther app. I have to go though the process of plugging and unplugging again to get it to work after the disconnect.
Another note, this same setup seems to work on my wifes i777 with an older (ICS) AOKP build. I have seen in some of my searching that JB doesn't have the same support for USB configurations as ICS. I would hate to go back to ICS just to get this working... but that may be my only option.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and please share any information you have!
Hello,
I am trying to connect my Wireless Xbox 360 controller to my Samsung Galaxy S3 with an USB-OTG adapter. It doesn't work though. When I try to connect the controller to the dongle, the lights on the controller just keeps flashing.
- When I plug the dongle into my phone, a notification saying a USB-connector is connected appears, but quickly disappears.
- When I plug the USB-OTG adapter out of my phone, a notification saying a USB connector is disconnected appears.
- I have followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531 and downloaded both files, both put them into the right folders and run the script.
Still, my phone does not recognize any input from my controller. Can anybody help me with this?
