M4 and Dual Shock 3 - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

The question is very simple: how can i connect the dual shock 3 controller to my m4 aqua. A simple way please i'm a noob...

Didn't try this on the M4, but worked on my previous phone. You first need to pair the controller to your bt's MAC address of your phone, this can be done by connecting the controller to a PC with the appropriate tool (motioninjoy provides it, search on Google). Then, in the M4 install the sixaxis controller app (has both free and paid version) and follow the instructions, it's easy, not much more that pressing the controller's button after running the app. Hope this helps

Thanks mate!! It works!!

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!

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.

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

PS3 Sixaxiss controller

I tried the new Sixaxiss application and it works perfect.
You don't need to unlock the bootloader anymore thanks to Bin4ry.
Now you can root your device with simple method.
Bin4ry's Rooting Guide
Download the Sixaxiss Pairing Tool and change the bluetooth address to your phones bluetooth address Using the Computer
Sixaxiss Pairing Tool
Sixaxiss Controller App
in your setting languages and keyboards check the sixaxiss controller, you're done and select Change IME in the application and change it to sixaxiss controller.
Here I posted a video in youtube.

Will this work on Xperia Arc GB,with doomkernel v22???I'm thinking of buying joystick so thats why i'm asking.Tnx for sharing this
Dude. You're in a forum for Xperia Sola, Xperia Go, Xperia U and Xperia P. Go ask in a Xperia Arc thread.
haha no issues bro, it will work for sure cause you have unlocked your bootloader and rooted your phone,
so Purchase the app and buy the ps3 controller if you don't have one too.
happy gaming
It should work with any rooted, android phone but in most cases you'll need a PC to pair the controller with your device unless you have an USB On-The-Go enabled smartphone (like Xperia U for example, and it seems like Arc too), then you can pair by just connecting the controller to the phone

Wireless Dualshock Support - Sony Tablet.

Hi folks,
Is this the same method for use with the Xperia Tablet S?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_Z3QnXWZm8&feature=player_embedded#!
I assume, using the leads listed that I can do the same.
Anyone know the correct method for connect a Dual Shock 3 controller?
with xperia tablet s you connect dual shock 3 controller via usb, then you get a popup saying you can disconnect controller with usb and enable bluetooth to use it wirelessly.
You don't need any special app to enable it etc.

Dual shock 4/ sixaxis to android help. Ps4 second screen

new to the forums, read the sticky, is this the right place?
I'm sure this has been done to death on these forums, or maybe I'm just not reading the right thing, but...
I'm trying to use my Android Tablet to run as a Second Screen on my PS4. I have gotten the app to connect and I can see the Playstation screen on my device, but I cannot get the Dualshock to connect.
I have run the sixaxis app on my PC to change master for the dualshock controller to match the mac address of my tablet, and I think they see eachother, but when it asks me if I want to pair them and I press yes, the controller turns off. EVERY TIME. What am I doing wrong?
I have a rooted Samsung galaxy tab 2 gt-p5113, sixaxis controller app, and the rooted playstation connect apk.

PS4 controller (bluetooth) not working on M5 LTE?

Hello, everyone!
As I have not found anything on this, neither on XDA, nor using friend Google, I'm posting this hoping to find a solution.
So I have an original PS4 bluetooth controller and it works like a charm with other devices (Win 8.1 laptop, K1 Shield on Android 7, Sony ZX2 on Android 8). but not on the M5.
Trying to pair it with the M5 first brings up an error message "Pairing failed Incorrect pairing key or the device you want to pair with is configured incorrectly. Tray again after viewing Help." ... which doesn't help.
A second attempt will then magically pair the device, but to no effect. It is shown as paired and coected, but will not work with the tablet and apps supporting controllers will not recognize that a controller is connected. Also the controller itself shows the "idle" instead of the "connected" light.
So, does anyone have any ideas how to solve this? I re-paired the controller with all other devices, just to make sure, and it worked. So the controller is still functioning.
If it's anything like the DS3 (dual shock 3) then the controller is very finicky and requries custom software. There's probably an app for it, the Sony phone will have the driver pre installed because it's sony, and probably the shield too.
If it's connected, then yeah there's no hardware fault, just needs the driver.

Well, PS3 controllers truly are difficult to set up, but not so PS4 controllers: Turn on bluetooth, put them into pairing mode, pair, done. I had my PS3 controller with Sixaxis running after much hassle but the PS4-one is really easy to set up. And I did it on multiple Android devices.
And then comes the M5 ...
By the way: Sixaxis does not support the M5.
Yeah I did notice the same thing on my M5 Pro.
I wanted to play the odd mame game with it, and as you say it paired on the 2nd attempt, but I couldn't get any controls to respond to any buttons/triggers etc.
I haven't tried using an OTG cable to see if it will work via cable, but disappointing that it connects but still doesn't work.
Can confirm that DualShock 4 and wired Switch controllers work with a USB C OTG cable.
Hi, it looks like that the Pad have a general Problem with Bluetooth controllers, because i tried a snakebyte controller:vr and the controller hangs or it is "endless scrolling" and in games very unprecise. the same Controller work with a P20 Pro like charm. So it looks like the Problem ist the m5 Pro. Oh, and the same with the PS4 Controller M5 + wired Ps4 working, M5 + Bluetooth PS4 "He´s dead jim", P20 Pro wired/bluetooth Ps4 working.
