Hello all,
I have been using my hd2 as a wifi router without issue with my desktop pc or my old macbook. I've even been able to watch netflix on them this way.
But I can't seem to get my Sony WIFI enabled dvd player to connect to the phone. The player sees the phone but will not connect. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Scott

Does your Sony DVD Player support a ADHOC connection? The HD2 only uses a ADHOC connection when using it for a WiFi Router.
ADHOC is a computer to computer connection so it may not support this type of connection.
If you find out it does not support ADHOC, then there might be a work around. It will be a little bit of a pian in the rear but hey it is a work around. If you have a USB port or a Eithernet port on your Sony DVD player you can use your laptop to connect to the DVD player either via USB cable or Eithernet cable and select allow other computers to access the internet via your laptop and then set the connection up on your DVD player and you will have internet access. Sony PlayStation 3 owners have to do this to use the WiFi of a HD2 as it does not support ADHOC connections. With your DVD player being Sony I bet it is the same.
Thank you
You were right, it did not support the ADHOC. It took me a little while but I got it working.
Thank you so much, I really like using all of my unlimited-as slow as it might be at times.

Please post how you got it working so others as well as myself can benifit from it.
All,
I have the following situation:
I have a laptop that has a wired internet connection and I have a Archos Gen 8 tablet. The laptop and Archos both have bluetooth. The laptop is running Windows 7 Ent. and the Archos is running the latest stock firmware (2.4.19 / Android 2.2)
What I want to do:
I want to connet my Archos to the BT of the laptop and then use the laptop's internet connection to access the internet.
Does anyone know a solution for this? Searching google only results in tethering a tablet to a mobile phone or tether a laptop to a mobile phone.
Regards,
Johan
If your laptop use wire internet why don't you just buy a router and use a wireless to connect you Archos. Don't have to looking for a hard work man...
Another hand, you can access internet anytime without turn on you laptop.

Steven,
Thanks for the reply, but the problem is that I cannot plug in a wireless router in the places I want to use this solution (mainly at work).

Connect your laptop with a wired connection and use your laptop as a wireless hot spot:

I've done this before and it works, similar to the poster above me!

Pls Help
Here is what I did:
1. Installed the Sixaxis Controller app, opened it, and found the local bluetooth adress on the bottom-left of the screen.
2. Downloaded and installed Motionjoy Gamepad Tool on my computer.
3. Connected my ps3 controller to my computer using USB, and clicked "BluetoothPair", then "Custom MAC" on Motionjoy.
4. Entered my prime's bluetooth adress, and clicked "Pair Now".
5. Removed the usb cable and went back to my prime and changed input method to "Sixaxis Controller".
6. Clicked "start" and waited for it to say "Successfully Configered Bluetooth" on the sixaxis app.
7. Pressed the home botton on my ps3 controller and voila, it's connected!

THANKS a lot ,
but it doesn´t work for me ;(
i have done all from your HOW TO , but ...
i start Sixaxis , then the Controller connectet ( Client Connected : 1 ) all lights Blink
BUT some seconds later nothing Blink and ( Client Disconnected : 1 )
PLEASE HELP
Ok. When you connect the ps3 controller to the computer and open Motionjoy and click BluetoothPair, does it say "Have paired to:" then the bluetooth adress next to it? Since it does say "Client Connected" once, then I think you got the setup right though.
Did you try to connect the ps3 controller to the prime using USB and pressing the home botton? Are you able to use the controller with USB? If that works, then I would try sixaxis again and make sure wifi is turned off. If it still disconnects, then I would try connecting another bluetooth device to the prime, to check if that is the problem. Also, if you haven't, try to reboot. If it still doesn't work, then you might have to use the USB cable.

Client disconected : 1 ( The PS3 Controllers Lights are NOT blink )
THE CONTROLLER PS3 is not ORIGINAL , do you think thats the Problem ?
some one how can help PLS ?
WTF ;( ?
Try this and tell me if it works:
1. Plug controller in with USB port connected.
2. Play around with it to make sure it works for a bit.
3. Push the Playstation button and unplug it from the USB at the same time.
Weird, but it works for me, lol.
If you bought a cheap ps3 controller off ebay it might be the problem, yes. It should be super easy you see, so there might be something wrong with the controller. I'm assuming you don't have the dock, so you are not able to test if it works on the prime using usb?
When you are pairing it, this is how it should look like:
I don't have Sixaxis installed, it's unrooted, and it works fine with bluetooth. I don't know why you're going through the trouble of using Sixaxis at all.

Tried 7 times, doesn't work for me when I turn off bluetooth. If it works for some with it off, then it's just a glitch probably.
I'm guessing it's a glitch, they fixed it in the update that I got I bet. Now it shows up in the actual bluetooth controllers in bluetooth settings, Woot! It caused reboots and i'm sure it was linked to that.
You conecct it without an app? If i want to pair manual it dont works .i have to do any settings in sixaxis ? Profil or anything?

ok, first i had to wat da hell?
The knockoff PS3 controllers like the one you got from ebay DO NOT WORK. i learned that the hard way too. Something with how they authenticate, it works for a PS3 but barely, i can connect it to my computer and use it as a controller for that, but for sixaxis controller on my tablet, no way.
Spend the money, buy a real controller. Used game places, pawn shops, i found one with the old packaging at my local TheSource store (TheSource.ca) for like, 15% off. I bought it, it works awesome.
As far as apps go, sixaxis controller is the way to go. Pay the couple of bucks, its worth it. Actively updated, new features seemingly every other week. just do it. you wont be sorry.
As far as getting the controller to connect:
Get this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
Go to here and download the sixaxis pair tool:
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
Other apps can do the same thing, i have used the one in the screenshots previous, however it reverses the mac address. Just use the one i linked, it works with no hassle.
Plug in sixaxis controller to your computer, use the tool to change the mac address.
Start the app on your tablet, it will turn off bluetooth if its on so no need to worry about that. start your sixaxis controller, it should connect pretty much no problem (as long as its genuine, if its a knockoff good luck)
The latest version of the app has a USB pair ability, you can connect your controller via USB and that, for whatever reason, worked on my knockoff controller. weird.
Hope this helps, i know its not the news your looking for. As of yet i cant find anything to get my cheap controller connected, aparently it uses nonstandard meathods for connecting to the PS3 so theres no definate way to make it work 100%.
Thanks for that i buy one and test it later.
I have to change the controller settings game by game ? Also for GTA one and other for shadowgun? Do you can send me your settings if i need it.
Thanks guys for your help

One more problem is that when i change the input method to sixaxis and change back to hackers keyboard . The keyboard DON'T shows up
I have to restart the prime and sometimes it helps
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk
the trick of pushing the ps button and unplugging works for me too (without bluetooth on)
i have not turned bluetooth once since i got my prime and this little glitch works for me, and im not rooted
with the orginall PS3 controller works \fine jihaaaaa
but not vibrat. can i change that
I saw a video on how to connect a wireless ps3 controller
and i wanted to ask if can i connect a wireless xbox controller to the s3
If you have a special reciever, that is actually for the pc, you can of course
But without it just wont work.
Btw, the wirelless connection between the x360 and the controller is based on a proprietary 2.4ghz protocoll, what is kinda wifi, more or less.
Wifi on my router works also over 2.4ghz and the 5ghz frequency, so it could be possible to connect the 2 devices over wifi direct maybe, if we could know more?

Nope, not Wifi, only RF. A lot of devices (including wireless keyboards/mice, wireless home phones, ...) all cram in the 2.4Ghz frequency because it is free, meaning you need no license to broadcast in it.
That's one of the reason why Wifi is going to 5GHz; it's simply too full in to 2.4Ghz for proper transmissions. (The other reason is that higher frequencies allow even more throughput on the cost of battery life)
I have the wireless Xbox 360 controller and USB PC receiver. I can't get it working with my Galaxy S3.
With the OTG cable USB Stick, keyboard, mouse are ok but not the xbox controller...
Any advise?
Xbox controllers do not work out of the box but need the app Joystick center.
If it still does not work:
Install and open the app "Terminal emulator"
Tybe "dmesg > /sdcard/log.txt" (without Enter!) then plug in the receiver.
Hit the Enter key
Upload file log.txt in the main folder of your internal storage
