I'm having trouble getting a gaming controller to work with this phone. It connects via Bluetooth and when I open the Xbox game pass app to play a game. It will only enable the buttons. Non of the joysticks or d-pad respond in game. I would imagine its just a settings issue with the phone,but I don't know what settings to try and change. Anyone else have this problem. My phone is the at&t LG V60 thinQ version

I went through the process of pairing my ps3 controller to the tabs bluetooth and got it to connect and respond using six axis app. But then I can't make it do anything else - when I press a button nothing happens no matter how I redefine the keys. I noticed that the website said it may not work with new samsung devices but someone reviewing the app said it worked fine. Any hints on how to get it to work? Do I need a non-samsung rom?

Can you give a bit more info? What Rom and Kernel are you using? What software did you use to connect them? People will help if you give them relevant info.
I am using the six axis controller app from the market. On stock touchwiz with the latest small update applied and rooted (UEKME). You have to be rooted for the app to work at all.
Do you want to navigate through the Android OS or do you want to play games with it? Most regular games don't work with the PS3 controller. Usually people use the controller to play roms with emulators. There you can map the buttons to actions in the settings menu to play the game.
As for the Android OS navigation, as far as I know only the directional buttons work to navigate the home screen and some menues but that's it. You could try mapping different functions to the buttons right from the sixaxis app. It should work if you select the right options.
Update: I resolved the issue with a restart... The program now works perfectly for gaming (including using both analogue sticks eg for N64). In theory you can map any key or function to the buttons but it would be hard work actually doing anything else but gaming. I definitely recommend the below app, though:

has anyone who has a dock been able to connect their dual shock 3 controller to TFP? I thought it was plug and play.
Just watched a video of someone doing exactly that. I believe its wireless via bluetooth also, but that may happen in ICS. Don't remember.

I *think* it will be PnP in ICS. Till then, you can purchase SIXAXIS app in the market, it's less then $2.00
I went out and bought a PS3 dual shock controller just to do this then found out that it only works if you use a usb cable, bluetooth is not compatible.
I found that to be lame.

You should check the Android Market, I'm pretty sure you'll find some applications letting you play with bluetooth.
Only certain game actually support a joystick. I think there is an app you have to install that works like a driver for it, but I have not tried it myself. However, it was said a WIRED PS3 or Xbox360 controller would work.
Bluetooth is supported too, but there are very few joysticks that match this. There is a Logitech PC controller and a Gamestop Tablet Gamepad that are supposed to work via bluetooth. Not sure on the requirements. I plan on getting the Logitech one to try this out; however, not sure when I will get around to it.
Here is a video of it in action:

Gamestop appears to sell/support a wireless controller.

Actually no, any app on the android market that would let you use the PS3 controller via bluetooth does not work on the prime unless you root it.
I had the gamestop controller and it is a total POS. It works with some games but they are not controls you can use to actually play the games just using that controller.. GTAIII for example.. You can only control your movement, you cant attack or jump or anything else.
The only game it works for is shadowgun. It doesnt works for any emulators, fpse, snes, sega or n64.
The Sixaxis app will let you connect a PS3 controller to your tablet, but you have to be rooted for it to work.

I imagine the emulator apps would need support for the controller programmed into the app itself, the tablet just recognizing the controller is there wouldn't be enough. each app will have to know what part of the screen to associate each controller button with. with PnP supported in ICS hopefully many more games & emulators will support controllers.
i got it to work. It is plug and play. You just have to go into controls and configure buttons. awesome for gaming.

The way the gamestop controller works, its not registered as a controller at all. It replaces your input method so basically its registered as a wireless keyboard that you cant setup.
My PS3 controller worked just fine being plugged into dock. I love shadowgun on it now. It is a hard game to play without controller.

Through bluetooth on the Droid and Nexus phones I've used it on. I assume it will work the same way on the Prime once we have superuser.

Good evening, ladies and gents of XDA! I'm new to the forums so please forgive me if I'm crossing some lines. I've attempted to look for a similar problem not only on XDA, but through Google as well, but have turned up with no luck. Without further adieu, this is the issue I'm having:
I've read that the Transformer Prime natively supports the Wireless XBox 360 controller. Unfortunately for me, this does not seem to be the case. The buttons do work as I can navigate through the menu with my joystick and the green ring around the menu button flashes (which I'm told is also supposed to happen unless I have the Joystick Center 5 app).
Despite my tablet being able to read my controller, the button mappings are all out of whack. I tried playing OnLive with it and none of the buttons aside for the joystick does what it's supposed to do. I've tried restarting my tablet, but this was met with no avail. I've even purchased the aforementioned Joystick app, but remapping the buttons was unsuccessful. Does anyone know why this "native support" isn't kicking in for me?
I had the same problem, Android supports the controller but most of the games seem not to. I had the official 360 wireless controller with the official wireless receiver, and could only use it for navigating homescreens, icon by icon. Couldn't even go to the next homescreen without first highlighting everything along the way
PS3 one works perfectly on the 2 games I have that I know about them using the controller: GTA3 and Shadowgun.

Hey please can you give me some information on how the wireless controller works?
I was thinkin about buying a wireless controller like logitech F710 or whichever works...but I don't know what else I need. Please can you give me details of what I need and how to Install it to the Asus Transformer Prime...thank you.
changed build.prop device name to softwin looks like it did the trick, downloading asphault now, will report it it plays or not. has opened up pretty much my whole library of games and apps doing this tweak. you need a rooted device (running .510 right now).

Bc asphault 8 wasn't listed as compatible on the play store using the xperia ultras device name.
It plays fine btw. so does gangstar Vegas
i havent been in the gaming scene on android, what are some other good recommendations to try out on ZU?
What DPI is the ZU running at?
I'm thinking that 190 would be a good DPI to run at

Here's some good recommendations for you:
AirAttack HD
Anomaly Korea
Asphalt 8
Dead Space
Dead Trigger
Dungeon Hunter 4
Real Racing 3
Samurai II Vengeance
ShadowGun
All of the above titles can be either downloaded/purchased from Play store, except for Asphalt 8 (Which is not compatible with Z Ultra at the moment)
You don't really need to change build.prop device name in order to get Asphalt 8 - if you have a rooted phone.
I'm just getting Asphalt 8 to try it out, will definitely purchase it legally from Play store once it's available for Z Ultra.
If you have a dualshock3 controller & your phone is rooted, then you can purchase Sixaxis Controller app to map the buttons & use the dualshock3 controller instead.
I prefer to use dualshock3 controller because it's a hundred times easier to control, rather than using the touch screen input.
Hope the above info helps.

wrong. 320 default
you can scale it down to as much as you link but 190 is PRETYYYY tiny. I've gone as low as 240 but the UI started getting misaligned- 265 is ideal.

There are a lot of devices not supported in the playstore for this game.. But the good news is you don't need to change anything,.. just follow this video tutorial on how to download and install... as stated above, 'buy' it properly when the playstore support tree is updated with the ZU

*cough* You don't need the Sixaxis Controller app on Sony phones. They support the PS3 controller natively. You only need an OTG cable (USB On-The-Go) - which is cheap, and then you just plug the controller to the phone, and once it's connected and synced, you can unplug it and use it.
This only works for games that supports controllers, so if you need to map the buttons, you'll need the Sixaxis app. When i think about it, just ignore the whole first part of this post. I could edit it, but i've written it and i'm not throwing it away, god damn it

Yes, the Z Ultra natively supports the dualshock3 controller.
All you need to do is to connect the controller to your phone via a USB OTG adapter.
After that, you can unplug the cables & the dualshock3 controller will work wireless. You can control the phone UI using the dualshock3 controller & it also works for certain android games that supports controller input.
However, there's a misconception among people thinking that all android games will work that way.
Unfortunately, that's not the case. Majority of the android games out there are designed with touch screen input in mind - meaning that they don't support any controller input at all.
The moment you load a game that does not support controller input, you will find that you can't use the dualshock3 at all. Although it is still connected to your phone via bluetooth connection but you can't use it inside the game.
That's why you need the Sixaxis Controller app to map the game's touch buttons to your dualshock3 controller, in order to use it inside the game.
Hope the above info clear things up.
While we're at it, if you use SixAxis Controller and you don't want to spend time mapping the controls, then just go to SixAxis Of Power or this thread. But it's pretty easy to make them yourself, so if you have some questions then just ask.

Is there anyone that has found a solution for using a game controller (PS3, PS4, XBOX ONE, ect) to emulate touch controls for touch screen only games? I know I have rooted my installation and attempted to install the sixaxis app, since I had already bought it for one of my previous devices, but it always fails to configure Bluetooth. Are there any apps out there that can accomplish this that we currently know are working with this wonderful os...?
I tried 2 bluetooth gamepads made for Android, one of them can use the D-pad and ABXY in system but doesnt work in game, another gamepad doesn't work at all
Hope they fix/add support for gamepad soon so we can enjoy games on pc/laptop with no touchscreen support (I really wanted to play Implosion).
Try GameKeyboard +
I use it to emulate onscreen the physical gamepad to play nvidia shield exclusive Portal on Xiaomi Mi3, but I also see options to map physical gamepad or keyboard or even mice; might you find it useful.

I'll give this and game keyboard a try... With sixaxis enabler, it sounds like all it does is make android recognize it as an android controller. If that is correct, then I don't need that due to the fact that remix os recognizes it as a controller just by plugging it in, but I need touchscreen emulation for apps that don't support controllers.
Bluestacks has some kind of keyboard control apk built in?
I tried it with Real Racing 3 and could steer, accelerate and brake using direction keys on a physical keyboard. But the graphics for the game itself weren't represented well and I switched to RemixOS. Which looks perfect in full screen, but alias there is no way to steer or brake.
