Hey, does anybody know which gamepads are compatible with the Pro 8.4? Can't seem to find any info online. Was also looking at the Samsung Micro USB to USB adapter, and was wondering will that work with a USB Controller?

Can't recall where or what device it was with, but I do remember reading someone's post (not sure if this site or another) about using a usb gamepad on the device at that another replied: wow it works don't know why it did not occur to me to TRY IT before like I mention on another post y sent for the Hdmi kit and works perfectly. if i get a otg cable or a dock i'm trying to get cheaper i'll try with my old trusty Saitek rumble force p2500 and let you know
I actually tried an OTG cable i bought on EBAY, but it didn't work. Not sure if it is faulty or what. I tried plugging a keyboard in as well, and nothing worked.

I bought some little impulse controllers for my phone and asus transformer prime. they work just fine with my new 8.4 tab pro (They're just bluetooth controllers)
I just bought a moga pro power gamepad and it works beautifully with my pro 8.4

My PS3 controller works beautifully on my Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520)
No need to root your device too, unless you absolutely want it to be wireless (bluetooth).
Install Sixaxis Enabler app from the playstore and run it (can't post URLs just yet...)
Plug your OTG cable in, then plug in the PS3 Sixaxis controller using its mini usb cable and voilà!

I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now and everyone who has paired is either rooted or has a dock/USB dongle. I know it's possible to use the controller without having root and apparently it's possible to pair it without using USB but I can't get it to work at all.
I used the Sixaxis Pair Tool on my PC to set the address to my Prime. According to the instructions, as soon as you unplug and hit the PS button, it should be paired...but it didn't. The Prime picked up the controller in the Bluetooth menu but when I tapped it to pair, it asked for a PIN. I tried 0000 and 1234 which both didn't work and can't find any info on how to find the PIN. I also found someone that just said to keep cancelling when it asks and it eventually pairs for some reason but that didn't work either.
I tried pairing the controller to my phone but it doesn't even detect it (I entered the BT address) and the sixaxis app says the phone is not supported. So I put it back to my Prime's BT address and now my Prime won't even detect the controller at all like it was before. I was able to pair my phone and Prime together with no issues and the controller (original Sony brand btw) works fine on the PS3.
So has anyone here gotten a controller to work in this situation? Or do I have to use this as an excuse to buy the dock now?

I'm not sure. I have the dock and my PS3 Controller only appeared in the BT devices section after I Plugged it in to the dock.
However.... I was thinking... the Proprietary charging connector goes to a USB plug. Could you use a female USB adaptor to connect your PS3 controller to to the tablet (without the dock)? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Female-USB-...XX2Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330594457&sr=8-1

I just got my prime yesterday, and I got my ps3 control work by just plugging it into the usb, pushing the centre button, then in bluetooth settings on the prime, I switched it on, scanned for devices and my ps3 control appeared so I selected it and it said connected. Then I just unplugged the usb and it worked.
I played sonic episode 1 and shadowgun with my ps3 control wirelessly. No root, no extra app downloaded. I'm going to try some more games today just to be sure.

I can tell you that it will not work. The prime has no USB host controller in order to connect peripherals for communication. It only can use the built in port to communicate with other devices that do have a controller. To get a USB host controller you have to use the dock or the adapter.

Hi everyone, I just got the Sony cable to hook up my PS3 control but it doesn't do anything. I plug it in and the control lights up and seemingly charges but no sync, no notification on my tablet saying it's plugged in or anything.
Any ideas wtf is going on?
Cheers,
Daniel
Is your tab on 3.2.1 rev 2 F/W ?
Are you using an OTG (on the go) cable ?
Yeah, you need to be on the correct firmware. Also the cheap cables off ebay dont work. Make sure it states 'sony tablet' in the description.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using Tapatalk
Umm well I don't know about OTG, but it's the legit Sony SGPUC1 one that the website says to use? Could it be the PS3 cable that is wrong perhaps or will any mini usb work for that? The Sony cable works with my usb, just not the PS3 control. And yeah, defs the latest firmware, 3.2.1 release 2

The SGPUC1 is just a standard USB Micro adaptor, you will need to get an OTG micro-usb adapter cable to pair your joystick with the tab - do a search on Amazon or Ebay - will show plenty of options.
Hope this helps

EDIT
Got me confused now - some are apparently using this cable (SGPUC1) to connect to their PC's and some are using it to connect mice, keyboards and memory sticks - an OTG cable only works in HOST mode so it cannot do all of the above ????
I don't use a Sony branded cable so I'm not sure now just which type of cable the SGPUC1 is.
Standard Micro-USB adaptor - Tablet S is a slave and can communicate with host on a laptop/pc.
OTG Micro-USB adaptor - Tablet S is host and can cotrol attached devices, mice, keyboards, joysticks etc....
The Sony website has the following patch note:
Adds support for the Wireless Controller for PlayStation® 3 entertainment system
Requires SGPUC1 USB Adapter Cable (sold separately)
Not available in all countries and regions For Sony Tablet S only
Does anyone know if it's available in Australia? I just contacted Sony and hopefully get a reply on Monday.

My Australian Tablet S works on 3.2.1r2 with a standard DualShock 3. I'm not using the SGPUC1, I'm using one from ebay (http://tinyurl.com/75qm3zy) which I plug a standard USB to Mini-USB cable into with my DualShock on the other end. As soon as I hit the PS button, it pairs and the screen shows a notification telling me it's connected.
Are you sure you've pressed the PS button to initiate pairing?

Yep hit the PS button and still nothing, soon as I unplug it it starts up my PS3 though. I think it's gotta be a firmware issue, I can't think of any other reason it would charge but not connect properly.
Have you tried to connect anything else to the tab with the adaptor, like a usb keyboard or memory stick, if the cable is OK the tab should "see" a device plugged in.
If this works then you know the adapter is OK and that the tabs USB port is working OK, since you know your dualshock is also working, it just leaves the cable to the dualshock and the tab f/w as suspects.
You can then check the dualshock cable by plugging it into the ps3 to confirm that the ps3 is seenig the dualshock through the cable - if it does then the prob is definately with the tab.
If I remember correctly my tab responded immediately to the dualshock being connected by installing the driver for it.
Hope this helps to narrow the problem down for you.

Just another thought, make sure your PS3 is turned off at the mains while trying to get it working with the tab - I had to do that.

Remebered to turn bluetooth on ?
Is it working OK now ?
If so - happy gaming

USB's, External Hard drives both work but still nothing from the PS3 control I tried turning the PS3 off, bluetooth on and off, everything I can possibly think of. Tried multiple mini-usb cables into the PS3 control, nothing works.
I think it must be software related if it will charge, work with other usb devices but not the control. I might wait it out for ICS, according to rumours should only be like a month.
That and I'll try ringing Sony I guess, see what happens.
Thanks for all your help though guys, really appreciate it!

I'm sure you've already gone through all the steps, so it might be a hardware issue (tablet, cable or the controller).

Haha yeah I think I've tried everything possible and still not working, thanks for that though No idea why mine won't work :/
Is it a 100% official Sony controller? Or is it potentially a knock off one from ebay which without side-by-side comparison, looks like a genuine one?
My motive behind that question being you say you've tried everything, (multilpe cables, usb ports, etc) but no mention of trying a different controller. hence why I suspect this could be the problem
EDIT: Also if possible try a different controller

Hi guys, I'm probably getting this tablet soon, so I'd really love to know if someone has managed to get a common wired USB mouse to work with it, and if so how it actually performs (responsiveness, lag etc). I have a Logitech G5 gaming mouse, and I think it would be pretty neat to be able to use it at its fullest with this device, for browsing and whatnot, and maybe also for gaming, like for playing FPS games like Modern Combat 3, together with the keyboard dock. I'm not sure about this becase it has pretty high dpi, but if it actually worked at say at least 1500 dpi it would be really awesome. Any experience with this kind of usage? Please let me know
Well, a wireless mouse with a USB dongle works fine with it, so I assume a wired mouse would work as well.
Hi, It works great, no problem with it.

Hi,
Could you tell me which wireless mouse with USB dongle works with this tablet? I have an old micro innovations wireless keyboard and mouse. This doesn't work when I plugin using the Asus USB dongle. It works fine with the PC.
Thanks
My Anywhere Mouse MX works fine with it, but what do you mean by "Asus USB dongle"? Your mouse will only work with its own dongle plugged into the USB socket on the tablet's dock.
Just plugged in my Logitech VX Nano mouse last night into my keyboard dock. Worked like a charm. LogMeIn even recognized the right-click as a right-click instead of Back or Menu.
i've got some lg crapper- works great.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I don't have the dock. I am plugging in my wireless mouse/keyboard dongle into the tablet directly using ASUS USB converter not the dock. If I plugin a wired mouse into the USB adapter it works. But not the wireless one. I was wondering if any wireless one work because the tablet would need the driver like in windows PC.
Hey guys can someone confirm if this will work in FPS games like modern combat?
- TF300T Dock + usb mouse
or
- wireless keyboard and mouse
If this is working how do you map keys?

Hi everyone,
I have an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 on T-Mobile (UK). Running firmware 4.3.
I have an MHL adapter that works perfectly. I also have an OTG cable that also works perfectly.
I wanted to be able to connect my PS3 controller and display the game on my TV, so I bought an adapter from eBay and after plugging it into the phone and connecting the power cable, it simply charged the phone and the phone didn't recognise that the HDMI cable was plugged in or the PS3 controller either. So I got a refund and purchased the official
Samsung Multimedia Smart Dock(also from eBay)which is compatible with the S3 and it was exactly the same result as the cheap adapter I bought. The Smart Dock didn't recognise that the HDMI or the controller, it just charged the phone and nothing else.
Does anyone know why this is happening? For me, it doesn't make sense because the MHL and OTG cable work fine separately with their own individual adapters, so I can't see why they can't be connected simultaneously. Does it have something to do with the 4.3 update?
Can anyone please shed some light on this issue?
Thank in advance

Pair the controller to your phone via SixaxisTool so that it can connect wirelessly, and then connect it (your phone) to your TV via MHL. It works for me.

Good for you. I just ordered and have a VAVA VA-UC002 delivered (can't post a link yet). Unfortunately it doesn't work with my V30+, it doesn't recognize it as an interface, so I'll have to send it back.
I just ordered the one you mentioned from amazon, hopefully it will work.
Hi guys,
so how is it? I come to some information that in order for the ethernet to work with your phone you have to have the ethernet option in your phone network settings. I don't have ethernet in options anywhere on my LG V30 yet you guys write that it works. So does it work for you even though you also don't have the ethernet option in your settings? Thanks.
@tw9: not sure what settings you are talking about
Nothing in settings on mine either.
As above, just plug it in and it will work.
There's another thing I've done that 'just works' (mostly) when connected to an OTG cable. A wireless keyboard and mouse. My Logitech adapter thing, just plug it in via otg... boom, now your logitech mouse and keyboard work on your phone.
The only 'settings' that seem to effect this are having a 'midi' connection in dev options usb type. But basically you only find out if it will work by trying it. Pretty sure I didn't have to change the setting, it just recognized it and auto switched, can't remember, been awhile.
cheers
