Hey, Hope all dng great!!!.
I got a new Sony PS3 DualShock Controller which I am trying to connect to Sony Xperia Z Ultra (Having 4.4.4 version).
What I have:
1. Mini USB OTG Cable
2. Z Ultar Default charger cable (I doubt this cable may be the issue, but not sure)
Charger Cable I inserted in to Z ultra and other end I have inserted in to USB A female port and the mini usb male is in to PS3 controller.
Settings --->Xperia Connectivity -->DualShock Controller-->ConnectionStatus and BatteryStatus in Disabled mode
Settings --->Xperia Connectivity -->DualShock Controller-->How to Connect Controller Screen -- Next button is disabled.
Please see the attached IMAGE for more info.
Please help me to understand what could be the issue?
Thanks in advance,
Cdhar
I've had issues with otg and the ps3 controller. I suggest you buy a case, and a universal gameklip total is about 30 bucks. It's probably the otg cable. If you're rooted download the sixaxis app, connect controller and update master address. If it doesn't work there's no connection with the cable
You have to connect OTG cable to Z Ultra (male microUSB, female USB) and normal data/charging cable to Dualshock3 (male miniUSB, male USB).
Because what you did is bad.
It has to be in this order. (see attachment)
Don't make it hard for him.http://www.primuscable.com/store/p/...NAr8FptRg2bDMhfzZwpKqGzm1_aNlDmHvgaAhqV8P8HAQ
Just get that cable it's what I used. You can connect to your zu and ps3 controller and setup wireless play, that's all you need.
But how can you connect miniUSB to Xperia ??? You need OTG cable for mobile phone and cable to connect Dualshock to OTG ...
looks like this (sorry I had only old N8 and Rumblepad2 ...)

I attached photo of cable
Here you go to explain it's a cable that has ps3 Micro usb and on other end is Micro for Android. Once synced up your Xperia will detect it, follow instructions. Otg is outdated imo
Do not mistake micro for mini... even the cable in link you posted is mini-mini, not micro-mini

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I got the cable now but this time at least I can see the ps3 controller lights are blinking once I connect to z ultra. but there no luck still z ultra is showing disabled 'Connection Status' and Next buttons in Dulashock 3 wireless controller options in the phone.
Please help me to understand what other options I can try.

Is it possible to connect an unrooted S3 to a TV via MHL and also plug in a PS3 gamepad via a USB OTG cable at the same time?
Maybe there's a cable on the market which allows this?
There is docking station made by Samsung, EDD-S20EWEGSTD that allows HDMI and OTG and charging simultaneously

Thanks, that looks pretty smart. It is pricey though!
I have seen several usb to micro usb support devices, like the experia can connect a ps2 controller using the adapter and was wondering if our device can connect and use a ps2 controller or other controller using the usb to micro usb adapter for games. also was wondering what all can connect anyone have a list? I have a square card reader also, that connects to the phone using the microphone//headset adapter, does anyone know any other devices that connect using the microphone and or headset adapter, coud we create an adapter that connects to the headset jack and then has a micro or usb attacked to the end, this could give us another usb connection port. could be very usefull if someone knows howto or had done this

You are going to need a USB 1.x/2.0 Female Type A to Male Type Micro-B adapter cable.
The XTZ's USB port does not supply enough amperes to power most portable USB HHDs, so when selecting an HDD, make sure it requires very low amperes.
The WiFi mouse's Windows-based adapter will not work with the XTZ unless the mouse's manufacturer can provide Android drivers. You need to check with the manufacturer to see if they have any, but I highly doubt they have Android drivers. You will have better luck using a Bluetooth or USB mouse.
You can use a non-powered or powered USB hub to gain more USB ports. A powered USB hub would be a better choice because it would eliminate the problem of powering a USB HDD. Most powered USB hubs are powered by AC adapters, but you can find some that are battery powered.
There are several discussions in this forum about USB MHL to HDMI adapters. Search the forum to find out which adapters work with the XTZ.
You cannot charge a device using a charger through a USB hub. You will need a powered USB hub specifically designed for charging devices.
Right but the question is does the Xperia z tab can be charging the some time when is connect to tv via hdmi?

Try using a Micro USB Host OTG Y-Cable with Micro USB Power for Sony Phones & Tablets from Valarm, which they say has been tested with the XTZ SGP312.
I bought a USB hub which sports an MHL and OTG (See attached) .
On my xperia z ultra the MHL works fine but when I plug the airmouse into the OTG the phone doesn't detect the mouse.
I tried to unplug the MHL (removed HDMI cable) and use only the OTG feature but the phone doesn't detect the mouse. The phone doesn't detect any USB storage device as well.
The MHL and OTG feature is a built-in option in Xperia Z Ultra so it should output as MHL and and detect airmouse at the same time, but it doesn't work.
Can anyone please help me how to get this done?
Awaiting for replies anxiously

I would honestly go with chromecast, it's your best bet to use the mouse as well.

The chromecast will not support the airmouse that I have. There is a small usb donlge for the mouse which needs to be connected to chromecast. I see there is no option to plug a USB device into chromecast, right?

I think he's suggesting that you connect your mouse to the phone and then cast the phone screen to the Chromecast.

I already mentioned that the airmouse is not detected by the phone; if it was, the issue will be solved because the MHL already working fine and output to big screen tv is fine.
My questions are:
a. Whether it is possible to use MHL and OTG at the same time?
b. My phone xperia z ultra is not detecting any usb devices such as pen drives, regular pc mouse or the airmouse. How do I get that to work?
Further update: I was able to get the OTG working and the phone detected the airmouse, however I could only use either of the MHL or OTG but not together. Any ides how to get the MHL and OTG work together?
How'd you get the otg to work? I bought 2 of them. But my Xperia Z ultra isn't detecting it.

Its easy. First of all OTG doesn't require any additional power to be connected to the HUB, you need to remove that. Second, plug in hub into the phone, then plug the USB device into the OTG USB slot of the HUB, then keep pressing the switch on button until it becomes "Blue". Please make sure you don't have any external power connected to the adapter at this point.
No I was talking about otg to the phone. I had no issues with Samsung but my phone doesn't detect the cord when I plug otg in it says USB connected, but when I hooked up the ps3 controller it had issues of not being recognized.
You can't use both MHL and USB OTG features at the same time because Sony Xperia devices (including the Z ultra) use 5 pins MHL connectors as opposed to Samsung devices (since the Galaxy S3) that use (not standard) 11 pins connectors for this very purpose (which is why most MHL cables require the use of an adapter on these)
HI
so for some reason my otg is not working on my p3100 running stock 4.1 ROM... For some reason when I put my otg into it it shows up 'USB Connector Connected'... But when I put on my USB 2.0 flash drive but nothing happens... Even the mouse doesn't works.. But when I put USB 3.0 it shows High Power USB connected... But why it doesn't works with my usb ... Please can anyone help me with it
