With a cable or without? With mods like sixaxis or without? I seem to remember a situation where some controllers and controller apps wouldn't function properly on 4.3. I can't be certain.

Just stop tablet no apps plug.the controller in with cable hut p's button and.turn.Bluetooth on and.it works for me

I had the same problem. The pairing was forgotten.
I had to reboot the tablet with Bluetooth on and it worked after that.
If it doesn't work that way, try rebooting with Bluetooth turned off.
Check to ensure the ps3 controller is charged.
Try a different USB cable as well

Every time I use mine the pairing seems to fail the first time, if I reconnect the cable and pair a second time then it works fine.

You use that app and your wiimote? I was under the impression the wiimote doesn't work with HTC devices. Am I wrong? I hope I'm wrong!

With this phone it works now! It was a great revelation when I tested it and it worked!

Not sure why, but i cant get this working. ugh
Correct me if im wrong but that app only connects to other android devices through bt not actual controllers
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
To add to the confirmation list: my Wiimote works flawlessly through Bluetooth with this phone.
HTC fixed their bluetooth stack this time around I can't vouch for PS3 controllers (although I should give it a try...) but if they connect to the app through bluetooth like the wiimote, it should also work.
I Co firmed above it works. Use it for any game now

[Q] Things to do with an OTG cable

Just recently purchased an OTG cable and know the simple things like connecting a mouse, keyboard or thumb drive. But wanted to see what others are doing with them.
What do you use yours for?

I use it to connect a usb bar code scanner to take inventory of the phone serial numbers at my store.

Anything other uses for OTG cables ?

Has anyone tried connecting two phones together with the OTG? Can you just share their storage, or what happens?

OTG and ps3 controller?

Has anyone tried a wired controller? I never had much luck with the Sixaxis controller app being smooth like a real ps3 game. All I've seen on OTG thus far is people hooking a mouse/keyboard up and it working.

I would imagine it works but I could be wrong. I know android itself supports controllers natively so the ps3 might be one of those controllers

I know the ps3 controller works on 2 kernels

There is a delay setting in the sixaxis app that when you turn it down, it runs like butter.

[Q] Any suggestions for pairing PS3 controller with DNA?

I just purchased the wired version of wired version of the GameKlip to use with my HTC Droid DNA. It's not rooted, but their site said the PS3 controller works through an otg cable, which is included with the gameklip. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to work. I've seen conflicting reports with some people saying it works for them, orther say it doesn't.
When i connect the controller to my phone via the cable, my phone gives me a notification that says, "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger." On the controller, all 4 "player indicator" lights blink as if it's charging. Supposedly a white cursor box should show up and I should be able to manipulate it with the left analog stick. This does not happen.
Has anyone gotten it to work or have any suggestions for getting it to work?
-Thanks
I have a HTC DNA and just got the GameKlip also. Im having the same problem. Anyone know a solution?
Nope hoping for a custom Rom that supports sixaxis I love my phone but not being able to connect my ps3 controler is such a downer.

So you can't use sixaxis app with stock rooted rom?? Was just about to root for that reason only, but if it doesn't work, I'll wait.

Good luck the Bluetooth stack on DNA lacks a lot of support.
I have slowly been trying to figure what I need to port in order for it to work but no clear answer yet
Cyanogenmod would work if and only if who ever makes it for are rom has to use blues and a proprierty stack instead of HTC.
Its all in the kernel ask one of the kernel maker's to add this in as it would allow proper sixaxis support and Bluetooth headset too.
If it was only a Bluetooth problem, you'd think it would still work with a hardwire connection like it does on nearly every other Android. Xbox controllers would work too.

Cm 10.1 rom now supports pairing ps3 controller with six axis app!

He said he paired it so I assume it was over bluetooth. CM uses its own bluetooth implementation(I think) so try it out. CM brought life into this phone, HTC made it a joke honestly.
I have the gameklip with the included otg cable
must be on flyhalfs cm 10.1 Rom
Steps I took
Bring up the sixaxis app
plug in the cables and hit pair
Once that's done unplug the cable
You only have to pair it once
Hit start then the ps button on the controller
Change ime to sixaxis
Done
I have some touch emulation profiles I made for.some games like modern combat 4 and nova 3
Nova 3 would force close on the first level
Modern combat works fine
I switched back to nos m7 Rom tho until.camera.and battery life get fined tuned on cm 10.1

PAC uses CM as the tree so whatever works in CM will work in PAC.
I have tested it on pac and it definitely works.

Controller mapping

Does anyone know who to map out the controller for games? I have a xbox controller and a otg cable. No root and latest update

Oops, just bumped this but all well.
This is what I want has well but unfortunately the only one which works is the PS3 wirelessly and with USB.
It is possible if rooted.
