When connecting the Dualshock 4 controller through bluetooth it does not work and while disconnecting the whole setting is struck, cannot even turn off the Bluetooth without rebooting. It does not even work on the ps4 remote play. Does anyone have the same problem with tab s6 or any solution?
Have you put it in pairing mode (Hold SHARE & PS button until the lightbar rapidly blinks then use the Console's original USB to connect the first time)?
Same issue here
It paired correctly but it doesn't work in any way and when I try to disconnect it the bluetooth menu freeze until reboot. Tried on my s10 too and it works well there.
I've also tried connecting it via USB cable and it seems to work in that way. Probably a software issue. We have to let Samsung know about this.
It's amazing how many people will learn of the news of Remote Play being available on all android devices but don't take the time to read the rest of the news.
Even if you get the controller paired with the tablet, it's not going to work with the remote play app. It's been stated multiple times that proper DS4 support won't come until Android 10. Some people have gotten it to work with the older models of the DS4 controllers (the one with the terrible battery life and no light bar in the front) but only wired and even then, it doesn't work for every phone and tablet out there.
Does not work for me too. Even with USB. Same controller works great on my Nexus 6P with Andorid 9 though.
I contacted Samsung Support twice about that but they just talked around the problem and didn't bother to reproduce it. So I think there won't be a fix soon. Maybe with Android 10. One UI sucks, btw. Would so love the Tab S6 with Vanilla Android.

The DS4 works 100% via USB on the S8 (US). I've used the S10, N10+, and T S6 (US models). DS4 input is ignored by all. Thankfully, I own the BT enabled XO controller so it's all good.

After the October update I just got it seams to work good. Wireless and wired! Unfortunately as stated above the PS4 Remote Play app works with the DS4 starting with Android 10. So my pixel 3 works. Not so my Tab S6. And the alternative Pstreamer does not yet work with the PS4 7.0 firmware.
After today update (1st September patch) the controller had start to work flawlessly as it does with my s10. Try to manually search for the update or wait until it'll come

So globally, only (for now) the xbox one controller works, over BT with the Sams. Galaxy Tab S6.
This I understand from online information.
Perhaps some one can post his/her experience with this.
Or does indeed have Sams. a secret partnership with MS, this looked at the price of an xbox one controller.
I assume not, though.

I have updated my firmware after the latest update the controller works fine I think it was a bug. But for playing playstation remote play ds4 is not supported unless android 10. I hope it comes faster that the rumored date :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:.

Has anyone tried this? It would be cool if you could turn off the on-screen controls.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx_XvUEUoP4
Edit:
I wonder if you can plug in a USB keyboard. Haven't seen anyone try that yet. I need to get an adapter an try it out.
I do know that you can buy a Bluetooth keyboard to use with the tablet that you might be able to map buttons to and use.
Also I do believe there is an App floating around that will allow you to Bluetooth the PS3 controller (or the Wii Remote) to your device to use with games.

I think honeycomb supports most usb controllers including ps3 and 360, I cant try it until I get an adapter though. Like is said above there are apps that let u use dualshock 3 via bluetooth, but I think they require root access.
Yes, you can use USB keyboard and mice. The Dual Shock 3 controller doesn't work (ironic, yes?). There is an app to use the DS3 and it requires root.
- Lisa (the one who did the video referenced above).
The ps3 controller is closed in as when you connect it with a pc... btw you can remove the on screen controls in the options...
Also... Lisa, I truly enjoy your very indepth reviews and previews of products...it is always your reviews that manage to go deeper than any review site I visit (eg. The usb port on the S) Glad to see u really are in depth if your on this site! I bought my hp TM2 because of you! Same with this really great tablet! Thanks!

Unfortunately the PS3 controller doesn't work. Sony's proprietary bluetooth is at it again. As you all know, Sony never likes to play well with other companies...and in this case, not even with their own devices. I ordered the logitech controller and an OTG USB cable which I'll try out today. I figure it'll work nicely and bluetooth would be even better. We'll see...
I have tried with a proper sony pad and can confirm it wont work via bluetooth or usb. it`ll connect to a rooted device but as the tablet isnt rooted yet it wont work.
I`ve talked to staff in a couple of Sony centres and they have said they have been told by sony reps that it will work with the controller soon.

Any update on whether the logitech controller works or not?
It works with the USB Adapter. Played my PS Certified Games just fine! It works on other games as well, but its hit or miss.

Yes, I use it with my emulators and it works fine. The controller itself leaves a little to be desired but with the OTG cable I bought and the logitech controller's usb dongle, i can now game a bit better on my tablet. I also bought the dock so that I could have the screen vertical.
You can use a mouse and a keyboard with usb.
I have plugged in the official wired Xbox360 pad and it works! The only problem is that the buttons are all mapped differently for the playstation certified games and there is no way of re-mapping them. For stuff like emulators where you can re-map the buttons it works amazingly well.
Has anyone tried using the PS3 DS controller ever since the PS Store came out? Just curious if it included some kind of software patch to allow the PS3 controller to work since Sony has stated that soon we will be able to use the PS3 controller. I just don't want to waste the money on the logitech controller just for the tablet when I have like 4 PS controllers lying around.

I Just tried and it doesn't work, all it does is flash the 4 red leds on the pad and that's it.
I think we need the Tablet rooted to get one working via usb
Damn! I'm probably going to try this when I get home from work and I have time to try pairing this to my tablet and then getting a refund if it doesn't work, unless someone wants to try it first. It says it doesn't require root, but the reviews are a bit iffy:

I'm leaving work early today (3:30 Eastern Standard) - I'll try to fit it in before my evening class.
Ok so after purchasing, no dice. The pairing was successful, but the server app still needs root to even start. I had no problems purchasing it because a have a bunch of android phones I should be able to use itwith. But as of now, the app doesnt work for the Tablet S. Would love to see rootcoming down the pike for this thing though...
Thanks for the update. I figured with the so/so reviews there was probably going to be an issue with the tablet s.
I tried many times pairing the Dualshock 4 with the Nexus 9 via bluetooth, but it gets stuck in pairing and does not connect. No errors or anything, just hangs there, and then the controller eventually times out of new connection pairing mode.
Connecting the Dualshock 4 via OTG cable works flawlessly, but what I really hoped for was a wireless connection.
On the other hand, the Dualshock 4 connects to my Nexus 4 via bluetooth just fine, out of the box with no additional software, which is why I expected it to work the thr Nexus 9 too. Although it's not very usable.. It's perfect for a little bit, very responsive, but then it's starts to lag to a point where it's unusable... Off topic, but anyone has experience with this lag issue too?
Anyways, main question is has anyone tried to pair their Dualshock 4 with the Nexus 9 out of the box via bluetooth and got it to work? If yes, is it usable? If no.. why not?
Solved:
Sixaxis works like a champ. I used a computer to pair up the controller with the Nexus 9 for Bluetooth use by installing their pairing program, and everything works well, including the touch pad. Glad I took the Dualshock 4 over the Xbox One controller!
I recommend reading this: http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html
If followed their instructions, it should be all good. Good luck all, and happy gaming!
i have dualshock 3 controllers and have to use the sixaxis app to use bleutooth.

How does that tool work? I've read about it but haven't tried yet.. To my (limited) understanding, you'd use a computer to help pair the controller with the device for the first time, and then later on it would just pair properly every time, without the need for the computer?

excactly. its just like you need to pair up the ps3 controller with the ps3 for the first time.
after that just start the app and press the home button on the controller.
I have used 2 controllers at the same time works flawlesly.
Tomorow a friend will bring 2 extra controllers.
so i will try to connect 4 at the same time.
It will be epic playing smash bross
Same here, even after the 5.0.1 update, it still refuses to connect to my dualshock 4
I have read that the phone does support mhl 3.0, but then I have read that it doesn't and the only way you are getting video out is through Miracast. Anybody here have direct knowledge if there is mhl support?
Thanks
Microsoft Miracast dongle won't work with it either. Does not connect. So much for using this phone with my Appradio.

Just wish I knew which adapter worked. I would get the nex4100, but having an Appradio 2 already and was planning on using ARLiberator or unchained, it would keep me from spending $600. At this point I guess I have to return my phone. Drastic I know, but my radio is useless without a phone.
Samsung phones will generally only work with Samsung brand MHL adapters.
I've read multiple sources on the web that it is true that he S6 doesn't support MHL. I'll verify this later today. While this isn't a big deal at home because you can use chromecast ...etc, , it is in my car. I've always displayed my Phone's (androids and IOS) on my car stereo, for gps or waze purposes (just some examples). Anyone else use MHL? kinda bummed about sammy taking away that functionality.

I got it to work with my AppRadio using Chromecast. Not sure if that is an option for you, but it did work for me. I just would rather use a hardwire connection. If Chromecast had not worked I would have returned the phone. Lack of MHL was a deal breaker for me, but Chromecast works really good for this device.

I have a Kenwood, Guess I could put a chromecast dongle on. I prefer the hardwire connection. How stable is your video connection to your head unit?

With Chromecast it is flawless, with any other Miracast adapter it is horrible. The only hard part (not hard, time consuming) is setting up the Chromecast to work with tethering off of your phone. The rest works just the same as an mhl adapter.
Well, these comments are bothersome! I ordered a Samsung MHL connector from Amazon and it is coming from China on a very slow boat. I ordered it two weeks ago and Amazon says it could be another month. This will tick me off if it finally gets here and doesn't work!! If anyone gets it to work, please post here!!
I got an official Samsung adapter and my s3 works like a charm but my s6 edge just shows a black screen

All I want is to be able to use my DS4 Controller on my Galaxy Tab S3. How do I make that happen. Bluetooth and/or usb. I do have a USB 3.0 to USB 3.1 Type C adapter. Yes, "Something" happens when I atempt to sync it with bluetooth, but that "something" is not a functioning controller. A very similar "something" happens when I connect it via USB. I am moderatly tech savy, I guess depending on what your view of that is. SO, In conclusion:
(Galaxy Tab S3 + DS4 = Working controller)HOW.
Thank you in advance.
Update
So, I tried an old Logitec Rumblepad 2 with the USB to USB C adapter I used with the DS4, and still no go. D-pat and left joystick worked for direction, and the "a" and "b" button worked in the home screen UI, but tried minecraft and only the direction controls worked. Seriously, anyone have any luck with any controller at all? Anything? Any apps, tweaks, tips tricks? Anything? Why is the info for this subject so sparse and response to this question nothing?
Have the same issue however after installing the December update the tablet recognises some of the keys on the controller and then lags after using

So yours works on your Tab S3? I was thinking of getting an XB1 controller, but my DS4 worked for darn near everything on my computer, but no dice for my tab. May have to invest in one though, because while I am very much a Playstation guy, I do really like the XB1 controller, and appreciate the PC integration.

Currently not rooted and completely stock. Noticed my xboxone controller doesn't work for some reason.
Works on my s9+ however, and mouse and keyboard through tab s6 usb hub works. So I'm actually at a bit of a loss.
Any input is greatly appreciated, I've tried everything ?*
Just to clarify for myself: you are using some kind of USB C to A adaptor to which you connected the Xbox controller, yes? If this exact setup works on an S9 then I would try a different adaptor before anything else. If the hardware connection really is solid then I would have to think the controller is not supported for some reason. An oversight more likely than not IMAO.
Why are you using USB OTG instead of just using bluetooth?
I don't know about OP, but I do it through OTG to use my Elite controller, since the v1 doesn't have Bluetooth. Works perfectly fine on my note 9, but not on this tablet in the xcloud app. It does work in the steam link app though, so I'm not sure what is causing the issue.
I'm using official Samsung adapter and a third party one. Both work on my s9+. My xbox pad is not Bluetooth. I also tried a switch pad on Bluetooth and input lag was woeful.

You have the exact same issue then? I can't fathom it. I'm an engineer as well so I've tried literally all possible combinations and have proved everything works everywhere. Just not the xbox pad. Strange issue.
