I have seen some videos that livedock are supported on mini and live with walkman which makes mini pro supported too. It can be connected to a USB mouse, USB keyboard and a USB gamepad.
The problem is I dont know where can I find and buy livedock. So I consider on using USB OTG instead for a USB mouse, keyboard and gamepad.
Has anyone tried USB otg on mini pro? Does it recognised a USB mouse and USB keyboard and so on?

According to me, all 2011 Xperia models support USB OTG.
Will take a look later on some phones.

yeah i just took a research.
but what about connecting it to a usb gamepad?
Checked.
Mini pro does not support USB OTG. Although, it has support for LiveDock, so I am not sure, if USB gamepad would work or not.

how are you completely sure?
wait till someone try and test and confirm it.
I didn't say I am sure. According to official white paper, it doesn't have USB OTG. But it is supported by LiveDock, that's why I am not sure.

Make sure that you are in one of the 2.3.4 updates. This update gave the support for usb on the go. I haven't test it yet but according to other threads you should be able to use an adapter without having to use livedock. Also, i think, some kernels doesn't have support for usb on the go.

The receiver plugs into USB, and then the pads connect to that. It's a way to use the wireless pads on a PC.
I'll have to see if it can pick up multiple pads still

Oh I have seen the video of that on youtube. The reviewer said the trigger l2 and r2 of it doesnt worked for key mappings on fpse.
But im interested in connecting the USB otg with a USB hub. That way I can connect a USB keyboard, mouse and gamepad all together at the same time.
Though I still doubt it would work until someone try it

Just checked that, the triggers don't work. I hadn't tried to use them as the SNES didn't have that many
A hub should work as long as its powered

Don't forget that L2/R2 are big analogue triggers, I'm assuming something like http://www.amazon.co.uk/MEDIA-TECH-..._8?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1331386376&sr=1-8 would work

Without rooting his xoom I saw a guy using a ps3 controller to play an emulator. He did have to use an otg cable but did not root his device. I tried connecting a mouse successfully but the ps3 didn't work. It does power on though. Any ideas?
Hmmmmmm. Well, the Sony tab runs the same os (3.1+) as the xoom. So, the otg cable should work fine. Though, it is only for a select amount of apps that support controller mapping. Now, connecting via bluetooth will not work. As far as I know, but if you're rooted an app like 'sixaxis' will allow for the dual shock via bluetooth! Now, seeing as this tablet has an ir port... the wii mote could be paired!!! There is an app in the market called 'wiimote'. Its free too!

I tried my ps3 controller but failed. I ordered a logitech one so I'll give an update tomorrow. Damned Sony!!!!
I picked up an inexpensive PS3 controller too. No luck with the playstation games on the S.
Is there a way to run both cables? With a splitter of some sort maybe? I've searched amazon for a cable with no luck.
Anyone on XDA know of a way?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Nope, when I first got the phone when it came out in searched that answer out for months in hope. Finally I just bought a new controller which was why I wanted it. I lucked out and grabbed a ps3 controller from newegg new for 32.99. What exactly are you trying to setup? The one thing I can tell you won't work is trying to get say a keyboard hooked up otg and use the mhl adapter.

Try using a bluetooth mouse to do that.

Yeah, a Bluetooth mouse a keyboard work for me when using MHL.
I would like to do MHL and USB OTG for playing a flash drive files on the TV, instead of copying it over. But, a microSD card solved some f that.
Bluetooth didn't even come to mind for some reason haha, awesome idea! Thanks guys!

Can't make it function
Hi guys I see that you are talking about MHL and OTG...and it seems you don't have probemlms with it on your i777.
On the contrary, I can't seem to make it work....When I plug a mouse, keybord or flash memory....NOTHING happens.
I already searched a lot....some people say it depends on the kernel (mine is Siyah 5.5.1)...some say it depends on the ROM (mine is AOKP 7.3)....I don't know which answer is correct......or maybe my OTG cable is faulty????.......
Please if you know something else that I can do to enable or anything....let me know!
Thanks in advance!
I believe you misunderstood, I explained you can use mhl and bluetooth mouse and or keyboard @ the same time. However that's not technically using MHL and otg cable.

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!

Not sure about US variants, but in case anyone else is wondering: it works flawlessly on the Rogers ones (tested on both blue 32gb and white 16gb). It should be the same on the others too I think, since they're similar enough.

Works fine on a sprint 16GB. First plugged in wireless mouse, keyboard, 640GB hard drive, ps3 controller (use with sixaxis controller over Bluetooth now) all working.
