Hey everyone! Thanks for viewing this thread.
I have a suspension that Android became incompatible with the PS4 controller at some point, maybe 7.X. I can plug it into my stock Note 3 (running 5.X) using an OTG cable, and input works immediately. Unfortunately this will not work on my 8.1 Pixel or a friend's 7.x LG V20. Also, it will connect to my phone through Bluetooth and is recognized as an input device, but will not respond at all.
I'm looking for any insight on this issue, as well as any tips that may get it working. Thanks in advance!

I've been using my PS3 controller wirelessly with my Xperia Z2 for a few years now, along with my mhl 3.0 adapter, it's been brilliant at playing on my HDTV.
I've just upgraded to the official Marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware and noticed that it only seems to have options for Dualshock 4 connectivity.
If I plug the Dualshock 3 in via usb otg, it works, but when I try connecting via bluetooth, it asks me to input a pin number, which I don't have, and shouldn't need.
Does anyone have any info regarding this?
Or even better, does anyone know a way Dualshock 3 support can be pulled from the Lollipop firmware and integrated into the Marshmallow update, if Sony are going to be so annoying as to remove it all together?
PS: I've also tried the Sixaxis Controller app on the play store and it doesn't seem to function at all.

The new Marshmallow update on mine also doesn't show PS3 controller connectivity because the PS3 is getting too old for new software to handle. There is a solution that may help though, and that is the dualshockmanager.apk file (or something like that) that could be ported or installed on marshmallow to bring compatibility back. Make a new forum on the Xperia Z2 help & troubleshooting section and ask if someone who is running Lollipop, can upload the dualshockmanager.apk from their phone. Hope this helps.
Try use old dualshockconnect from 5.1

I've contacted Sony about this issue and here is their response:
"There have been no changes made to this feature, I'd advise to contact your support team for further assistance.."

Recently i purchased one of these. tv box. But the item do not have a notification bar.
Anyone knows how to get it?
And it didnt let me change to stock launcher so i installed google m launcher. but still no notification bar.
I've got one of these boxes too. It's not so much the lack of a notification bar that bothers me (mine stays in my bedroom hooked up to a TV) but what's really bothering me is the lack of proper gamepad support.
I tried a generic SNES styled gamepad (Windows identifies it fine as a "USB Gamepad" and my LG G2 recognizes it with an OTG cable) but this box does not recognize it, only my wired Xbox 360 Afterglow gamepad.
Have you been able to do any worthwhile ROM changes to your X96 devices yet?
I decided I would try one but its pretty basic and seems to crash a lot.

With the help from a guy on another forum and some learning I actually got my controllers working on my KIII. There was quite a bit of testing and messing around in terminal to get the controller to show button presses. Once I got that I created my own Vendor.kl file with the correct info. I installed that via terminal and run a ff-memless.ko and hid-dr.ko everytime I want to use the controllers for emulators. If anyone wants help let me know via pm, im sure I can help.
X96 Not Opening
I purchased X96 Android TV :crying:to connect to my TV.
The box was working fine and was able to connect the HDMI cable and accessing many channels on Kodi.TV.
Recently, the box was not opening and only the RED light is on the BLUE light was not switching on.
Tried disconnecting the box and reconnecting, the problem continues and unable to connect to my TV - message "NO SIGNAL".
This box does not have any resetting button or other facilities.
I have to do the resetting manually (hardware) and not software.
If the box gets connected to the TV can do the factory setting.
How to solve the problem?

Android Remote Control apps not pairing with the X96 minii
I also purchased this box. It is working fine. The only problem I faces is the pairing of remote control app from the phone. I tried so many apps from play store but none of them is detecting the tv box from the network to connect. Please help if anybody knows to troubleshoot this.
Good day guys. I've tried connecting my Ps4 and xbox1 controllers to the device via USB but nothing works. The Ps4 controller connects via Bluetooth after some trying, but still does not register inputs. Both devices run fine on the pc via the same USB cable.
Am I missing something?
Can anyone assist?
Edit: android version 7.1.2
I even tried opening the box and using the hidden ports. Still no controller response. Just lights up but no input whatsoever.
In for info. 2gb/16ram h96 pro plus android box
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.

Is there something new about this issue? Someone tried with custom rom?
I just submitted this message to 8bitdo themselves, but I figured I'd post here as well since I didn't find any threads on this topic, hopefully some xda pros can help out! thanks in advance...
"Hello, over the years I've purchased 13 different 8bitdo controllers, been happy with the products, but recently my favorites (four SN30 pro's) have had their ABXY buttons reversed (in android bluetooth mode) after the latest android updates.
When I press B+start to pair in android mode and connect to my phone, using "Gamepad Tester", the app shows "A" input when I press the B button, and vice versa. X and Y are also swapped. However, in that same session, without turning off the controller, simply connecting it via USB solves the issue.
If I reset the controller, but hold X+start to connect in X input mode, buttons are reversed whether I'm connected via bluetooth or usb.
I already updated the firmware with the latest updater, but the issue persists. I've factory reset the controllers, but no luck. I've tried on 3 different devices (Samsung Galaxy s21, s10, and Tab 6), all of which have the latest android software, but having the same issue. I dug out an old android tablet with older android software, connected via B+start for android mode, and it worked perfectly.
I've read that there is an on-board solution to reverse the ABXY buttons by holding Down+Select, but this doesn't seem to work for me, and as I understand, the ultimate software to remap buttons is not compatible with SN30 pro.
Note that the all of my other controllers (N30 pro 2's) do not have this problem.
Please advise on how to fix this issue, as I entertain groups of people daily with gaming and 8bitdo controllers. Thank you!"
I have the same issue and same controller too in my Poco F3 running Android 12, it sucks that this is happening because it's kinda awkward to press A button and it registers as B button from the Emulator
