Hi,
Sorry if this post has already been done. I am new to this site and I couldn't find the answers.
Can anyone help with makes and models of compatible bluetooth gamepads and other bluetooth input methods?
I have only had the phone a few weeks and I have read lots of different things saying there are problems with certain devices (dualshock 3, dualshock 4, xbox 360)
Dualshock pairs with the phone, no problem but does nothing.
I contacted LG, and their respone is that because the phone works with my smartwatch, then there is obviously no problem as far as they are concerned!?!
I informed them that every other phone I had works with bluetooth controllers.
If anyone has any advice or can confirm working devices I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance, and sorry again if already a post for this...

I have not experienced any problems with game controllers, download Sixaxis from the play store to use your Dual shock 3 or 4 controller, I have the dualshock 3 and it works with no problems.
Hi, thank you for your suggestion. Much appreciated, but sadly I get this error when I try the sixaxis comparability app...

Could not start driver. Check that your device is rooted.

As the error suggests your device needs to be rooted, you can find the guide for rooting your device in the guide section of these forums.
Thanks for the reply again.
I don't know if I'm brave enough to root the phone just yet as I have only had it for 2 weeks. (Warranty)
I will hopefully track down an alternative method, hopefully someone will come up with some options for working controllers... Or even better, LG get it sorted

Hey all you gaming hd fans out there, just thought id let you in on a little discovery of mine.
The Foldable Bluetooth Gamepad DOES work with the HD
I got mine second hand off ebay, but heres a link to the product im talking about:
http://www.order-bulk.com/Bluetooth-Gamepad-For-Mobile-Sony-Ericsson-Nokia-Motorola-LG-Samsung.html?currency=GBP&language=en#googlebase
The first question is, does the HD fit inside the wings, which i can answer with a resounding yes, its a tight fit but with no chance of your HD falling out during a frantic button bashing session!
Its a little tricky to get working with the HD as the install disk, or this driver file:
http://www.gdbint.com.au/downloads/drivers/BGP100_v1502_Games_Included.zip
does not include the HD as a selectable phone, however using this sequence i got it installed:
added the gamepad to my bluetooth devices (not sure this is needed but it what i did)
connected my phone and laptop using a usb activesync
ran the setup.exe from the driver file and clicked a couple of next buttons and an agree
when selecting a phone chose the htc magician
then comes the bit that i had to try a couple of times, the cab runs on the HD and asks where to install, device or storage. the first time i tried device and the program wouldn't open, (an error about certification) so i tried again and installed to storage and hey presto everything worked!!
However there was one more stumbling block in my quest to play zelda on my phone, although the gamepad worked for navigating menus and such like, morphgear would recognise my clicks once i'd started playing. a quick search on google and reinstalling morphgear kicked this problem to touch however and here i am, about the play zelda: a link to the past until i run out of AAA batteries for the pad!!!
So if anybody else out there is into gaming and HD'ing then i would wholeheartedly recommend this product
I haven't noticed any difficulties while installing the driver. The gamepad works just fine, unfortunately the HD doesn't fit in the middle of the gamepad, what makes it quite inefficient, at least for me ...
on my gamepad there are two adjustable rubber grips inside the folding arms to hold the phone in place, try sliding these to the outside of the arms and the HD should squeeze inside:

good find thanks very much, I will probably be buying this tonight!
Many many thanks for the infos...
you just answered all my unanswered questions
ordering it soon.....
I've just received mine...
Works perfect.... more than perfect ..
installed on storage card and call of duty2, flux challenge, pocket clive (zx spectrum emulator) all work fine
Maybe just a barebly noticed lag in communication (a small delay in controls... and i am not so sure about it)
Recommended...
nice
thx for the informations
but i think it looks a lil cheap
isn´t there any posibility to use a normal bluetooth controller for example the PS3 controller ?
It looks cheap but take it from someone who owns one, the build quality on it is on par/close to with Genuine playstation controllers.
Buttons feel good, not mushy and spongy, sliders move smoothly and no poorly fitting parts or grinding in the moving bits. They are REALLY good.
I have to disagree. I've had this bluetooth gamepad for a long time, mainly used for the N95. The quality is average at best and no where near the comfort of any game console controllers. The most annoying feature is the extremely poor battery life. It doesn't last more than a couple of hours... It will cost you a fortune in the long run and frustrate you in the middle of a game.
If you want a controller I would rather use the iGo Stowaway Keyboard. The battery last about 90hrs. Not ideal but it doubles up as a QWERTY.
Hi!
i have buyed bgp100 gamepad too but it seems don't works correctly, A,B,C,D,R button are received from htc hd like same button...
i tried to read with attention qhat mulligan2k say but maybe i don't understand something or i don't know...
with my notebook it works correctly, i think there some driver problem or wm6.5 incompatibility?
thanks for all answer.
Hi everyone ... bought a BGP100 last weekend here: http://www.pearl.de/a-HZ1400-4046.shtml?query=bluetooth gamepad
But if i install the driver via PC (cab installation) and after starting the Gamepad application, there is an error message popup:
"Connection error! Sorry! We don't support this Bluetooth Gamepad."
Anyone has a solution?
hi, you have to install ms version not widcom, it works for me, but there is other problem: A,B,C,D,R are receive from the HD with same exadecimal code and it's unusable for playing...
if it works for you please say something on this board please.
Hmmm ... this Gamepad is absolutely not working. Tried a lot of drivers, MS Bluetooth Stack drivers, Widcomm drivers (with them, the gamepad dialog doesn't start), samsung drivers ... everything.
The same message every time: "Connection error! Sorry! We don't support this Bluetooth Gamepad." --- tried to connect directly via bluetooth, nothing.
I think, the gamepad isn't working for me (as it's not a MSI gamepad )

compatible with? i think, my gamepad and the drivers aren't matching. i don't think, it has something to do with bluetooth stack at my device. afaik the diamond uses also MS Bluetooth stack.
hope to get some fitting drivers for the gamepad

maybe it is incompativle with winmo devices, maybe bgp100 driver aren't same of your gamepad driver.
I have bought through ebay the exact gamepad.
Please note that mine is the original MSI gamepad.
I have used the drivers for the HTC Magician in the accompanying CD .
I have had no problems at all.
Have in mind that you must install the drivers in the storage card and not in the device

I know that this thread hasn't been posted to in a few months, but I hope that the information that I am posting will help someone. This is my first time posting anything, anywhere, on the web.... so wish me luck.
My current setup is a HTC Sprint Touch Pro flashed to ToO's CricKet rom(very nice). Whilst expirementing with emulation on the device, and mapping the keyboard buttons, all of the Action Buttons were showing up as the same location on the keyboard. Regaurdless of what button I pressed, they all came up as 020 if I remember right. After spending night after night of searching forum after forum, along came a solution. Posted somewhere in the deapths of our very own xda-developers.com I read about this program KforTP. Created by "Jack Wang", I am not sure as to how Mr. Jack came to developing this marvelous tool... but I think it would have happened like this...
Late one night in 2008 while at the bar, Jack sat sat freeloading WiFi on his HTC Touch Pro. Downloading emulators at speeds that would put The Flash to shame.
(Evil Laugh)
After a few rounds too many Jack became enraged at his phone.
"Why won't my Action Buttons map on PockSNES!"
Only it came out in a drunken slur. The bartender knew that Jack was terribly drunk.
"Hey et your drunk #[email protected] outta here!"
As Jack left the bar in his beat-up honda he turned the music up and let the windows down to keep his mind off of driving drunk. Rounding a sharp curve on a wet road Jack soon found himself spinning out of control. Lights were comming from everywhere on the dashboard....
"OH &$#% I'M GONNA DIE!!!!"
The car finally came to a hault, and Jack was deaf to the music wailinng from the speakers.
"Yeeeeeee Haaaaaaw!"
Jack got back on the road and drove safely home. After walking through the threshold of his abode, Jack knew that he survived that crash for only one reason.
"I must code a fix for my problem with the Action Buttons not mapping."
But any way the file is attached so give it a shot, and let me know how you liked my first post ever in my LIFE... any feedback would be nice.... Add me on Facebook... whatever.... oh wait, i never post my email address! But seriously let me know what you think. I have never tried this program on any device except for MY Touch Pro. The code may need to be adjusted if you intend to use it on any other device. I do not take any credit for this program in any way. The authors information is in the "about" section.
Welcome, new net citizen!
Hey guys, did anyone know how to use xbox 360 controller with our great phone? I'm using cm9 and can't get it to work. I've been looking for it for some time, but can't get straight ansowers.
If someone knows how to do it please reply. I've tried usb host controller but it gives me message that S3C driver was not found. So can we somehow apply this "driver"?
Thanks in advance.
Have you ever tryed with other controllers? like ps3 or something like that.
I think you should look for another solution..
You may have better luck asking in the CM9 discussion thread. Sounds like an issue with the USB driver in CM9, maybe.
Afaik ps3 cobtroller world ootb. Ill ask cm9 devs, but I dont expect ansowers Since they are busy

Hello everyone on the xdadevelopers. As always before posting here; I rummage around the internet in hope of answers from any source I can. Sadly, I've not been successful in my quest and now will turn to the minds of you wonderful developers who have taught me alot already.
To cut a long story short, I'd like to play ROM's on my emulators with my NEO Controller by Subsonic. I opted for the NEO as it seems a fair bit larger than the PS3's toothpick sized controllers (to me anyway).
Does anyone know of any way I could achieve syncing this controller to my Galaxy S2 as I'm at my wit's and technological know-how end.
I'm open to all suggestions and am more than happy to donate to whomever can find me an answer and get this sodding thing working!
Thanks in advance to any and all suggestions.

hello.
have you tried the sixaxis controller off the play store.
i used it to use my ps3 pad on my phone for roms. you need the sixaxis controller from the market and and the paring tool for pc/mac to change the bluetooth and adress of the pad to the same as the phone.

SixAxis requires your phone to be rooted. Do you have root?
Also, it states in the play store entry that it works best with OEM PS3 controllers, not 3rd party controllers.
And what exact model of GS2 do you have?

Yep, my phone is rooted, I'm currently on Simplistic ROM which is a samsung based ROM I believe. I've also tried it on Cyanogenmod10 ROMs and MIUI to no joy.
I have the unbranded international S2 on the Orange UK network. I believe the orange branded is the i9100G or is it the i9100P? Can't remember which. But mine is the bog standard Galaxy S2, no Orange branding or software to the phone originally.

Well, you also state you're using NEO Controller by Subsonic controllers? As I said above, the SixAxis controller app is stated to work best with OEM PS3 controllers - i.e. controllers actually made by Sony intended for the PS3.
So... if you were trying to use the SixAxis app with the NEO controller, that's probably why it didn't work.
Sorry I can't help further - I use SixAxis with an official PS3 controller, which works fine for my needs.
Maybe try "USB/BT Joystick Center 6" or "Bluez IME" from the Play Store?
Hello, i have a usb xbox 360 controller (realy a usb nothing a charge cable) and a OTG cable, I've seen many videos where to connect these control the galaxy s3 is automatically recognized but in my phone with JB 4.2 and stock kernel only frash the lights, not recognized in any way with any buttons ...... Wath I do wrong?
Sorry for my bad ..VERY BAD ENGLISH xD but this I mean:
http://youtu.be/lrZ-xnzYVLA
Hey everyone, I'm having the same problem and unfortunately searching has not provided a definitive answer. Some youtube vids and articles say you can just plug and play, others say you need to root and use the sixaxis app or the usb/bt joystick app.
Like the OP I have an S3 on 4.1.1, but when I plug in the official wired xbox pad, it doesn't appear to be recognised. Youtube vids show grand theft auto 3 working without anything more then using an OTG cable to connect the pad. I downloaded the usb/bt joystick app and it recognises the pad, but pretty sure I would need to root the phone in order for that to work properly (although I did manage to get the analogue sticks working at least).
If anyone knows for definite whether the pad should work without any apps I would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
I already made a small research, it was a big dump of crap
For native support, we need first of all, recomiled xpad.ko and ff-memless.ko modules for the latest kernel, but no of the devs took a look at this problem.
As a programmer noob, I wasnt even able to do this, so it is still up to the devs for helping out on this ****.
I also mailed samsung and the told me, they will pass on the actual situation and maybe we will ged support in near future. so take it on and contract samsung, possibly it will bring something
and sorry for my bad english, hadnt any real conversation for more than a half year.

Yeah man you you're right ... just waiting.
Thanks guys, much appreciated! Guess I'll just wait it out then, the people in the vids must have rooted, was kinda hard to tell.
Of course you need root, mate, without root there is nothing possible.
Only with root you can place modules inside your system partition, use init.d and launch modules trough an terminal emulator or just as I said, have a custom kernel with init.d support, so you can setup a script, that will start the modules just at boot of your phone.
but I havent found anyone who could do this, and I dont have any ideas how to code or compile the ****^^
there are also some versions of the module e.g. for ICS kernels, for GB too, and for extremely old based kernels like 2.6.xxxx, but nothing for exynos based 3.0.31 kernel that sucks
I'm using and enjoying the excellent MegaFireMj2V6 on my Galaxy Mega 6.3, but I've come up against a problem with Bluetooth. I'm unable to connect my car to the phone. Connection begins but I then get the "Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped" error. I have a Smartwatch which connects flawlessly. I've tried disassociating the watch but that didn't help with connecting the car (though that would not be a satisfactory solution anyway, I do need both devices to connect simultaneously).
Has anyone had similar experiences, does anyone know of a fix or workaround?
Cheers.

I know there was no real response to this thread, but just in case anyone looked this up and is interested:
My problem solved itself. I tried for 24 hours to get both devices to work simultaneously, and having given up, I got into the car the next day, and Bluetooth was good as gold, connecting flawlessly! And it's worked ever since. I have no idea why, it's absolutely nothing that I did, it just decided to work! Bluetooth is weird!
