Morning.
Last week or so I've been trying to get my PS3 Dualshock 3 Sixaxis controller working with my Nexus 7 via the Micro USB port, and I'm about to give up completely.
I've googled enough to make my head spin, so this is pretty much my last hope for a solution. I've tried with 4.1.1, 4.1.2 & 4.2.2.
I've mailed the developers of the apps mentioned below, but have yet to recieve any response. This was done more than just 1-2 days ago.
I've tried with & without rooting.
The controller works fine when connecting it to my computer & Transformer Prime. It's been close to fully charged all the time.
The Gameklip cable & the OTG-cable works. I can access HDD's, flashdrives & even the SD-card on my PSP.
While using the OTG-cable, I've tried with different USB - Mini USB cables.
Sixaxis Controller using Bluetooth works fine, not a single problem there. I can also add my Nexus 7's MAC-address to the controller via the app without any trouble.
USB/BT Joystick Center 8 finds the controller, but refuses to accept any input from it. The same developer has released a joystick analyzer, and it recognizes the correct vendor & product ID of the controller.
The keylayout file exists & is correctly mapped in my usr/keylayout directory. I've also tried using the Transformers keylayout on the Nexus 7.
And here's the kicker, the spare Gamestop Xbox 360 controller I've got laying around works without a problem. Which almost led to me frisbeeing this ****ing thing out the window. And even though it works, it's not a viable alternative for me since it doesn't fit in the Gameklip.
At this point I'm up for crazy ideas, so any help, no matter how far out there, is appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this, and if you have any ideas that might help, thanks in advance!

Sorry for the thread resurrection here but I have searched high and low on the internet and this is the only thing that I find that comes close to the same exact problem I am having. The only difference is I have a galaxy s3 running cyanogenmod 10.2. Same issue on 10.1. I can get a wired 360 controller to work just fine and even a Wii classic controller with a USB adapter to work. No Dualshock 3 though. You ever able to fix this?
Ok need a little help with a nexus 4 with a broken digitizer.
Everything looks like it works but no touch.
Cost 150+ euro to fix, not going to happen buying a nexus 5.
But would love to use the nexus 4 as a media player with xbmc.
I just need to get a mouse working and then I am good.
BUT HOW?
how do I get a mouse running on this thing I have a OTG cable, I have plugged in a power usb hub.
But I get nothing.
Any help please
King Regards,
JP
There's no way to set it up without a working touchscreen. Your best bet is getting a friend with a Nexus 4 to let you borrow their N4. You replace the board and setup everything using the touchscreen to automatically connect to a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and then put the mobo back in the bad nexus 4 and there you go.
Or you interested in selling it?
Also, for OTG you need to flash Franco Kernel and use it's companion app (nonfree) to enable it. Not sure of any other way to do it. That also requires a touchscreen.
I think maybe your best bet is somehow installing a VNC server for android. Maybe via ADB install? *shrug* You can flash recovery and that will remain fully usable without touch.
that kinda sucks.
what you offering for my nexus?

If you still have a problem/your nexus 4:
if you aren't rooted, find out how to root [nexus root toolkit], if you have fastboot already it should be a breeze
You need a usb-otg Y cable so that power goes to the phone
install franco kernel and ziddey mod (search forums should come up quick cuz they are awesome)
then should work like a charm (plug and play)
My nexus 4 runs a mouse and 1tb hdd off an externally powered hub, but I could never get it to run with my normal otg cable only the Y cable... I think it's because nexus needs the power surge to know it is connected or something (more complicated that I don't understand).
Hi all!
I am having a problem, my LG G2 with otg and xbox 360 controller, im running the stock factory firmware out of the box. My problem is that when pushing buttons on the xbox 360 controller the G2 seems to think i am holding down the button... When I am not! I can post a video to explain it better. Is anyone else having this issue? I have a nexus 7 and the xbox controller works fine on it so I don't think it is the otg cable itself.
Thanks!
I am having exactly the same problem.
I connected my XBOX 360 Wired Controller to my LG G2, and first of all it didn't respond. The lights were blinking all the time.
After the latest update my XBOX 360 Wired Controller worked, and I saw the light at Player 1, however, it thinks I'm holding the buttons while I'm not.
Any fix for this?
Havent tried latly but i never had my xbox controller working. i wonder if having the xpad.ko would work. ive tryed compiling the kernel and module my self but kernel didnt boot and cant load module with other kernels.

I have the same problem... is like the buttons sometime have the auto-hold function. And the led of the controller is not stable in 1 player but all 4 led blinking. Someone can help me?
Hi, I've got a bit of an issue.
I'm trying to use a wireless Xbox 360 controller to play gamesd on my Lg G2.
The device is rooted, running stock Android 4.2.2, and is the At&T model.
This is my setup: Xbox 360 wireless reciever (aftermarket, but it confirmed works on my pc),
connected to a USB-OTG cable (confirmed working, with a usb drive, keyboard, and mouse),
connected to the micro USB port on my device (again, confirmed working).
The LED's on the reciever light up, and I can "pair" my controller with it, but after "paring", all four lights on the controller are still blinking, and my phone does not recognize it as a controller.
I've searched around, and could not find much help on this topic for this device.
If anyone knows what's going wrong here, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm not sure if that would work, I would imagine the phone would need the drivers for that dongle.
You can pair a Wiimote or a PS3/4 control to it though.But you can always get a wired control for the 360, I would presume that should work.
I got it to work, using the methods described here.
But, now there's just a small issue. In any game i play with the controller, it's rather hard to control, as there is virtually no thumbstick "dead zone". What I mean, is, if the thumbstick is moved even millimeters from its default point, the character on screen starts to move. And 360 controller thumbsticks have a bit of wiggle-room for moving the sticks before it's actually supposed to do anything, so this is rather annoying.
Does anyone know how i can adjust the dead-zone of my controller?
(I've tried this in multiple games; Modern Combat 5, Dead Trigger, and the like.)
I was wondering if anyone has tried hooking up a ps4 controller or any other third party? I hooked an otg cable from my ps4 to the phone and the ps4 light stays blue when it should be orange? I tried connecting via Bluetooth and it sees the device and pairs wirelessly naming it wireless controller in the device list but the buttons don't register in emulators or supported android apps that used to work with my note 5? I used to use my controller all the time but now with my new s7 edge I can't get a controller to work? Can anyone else try for me and see if you have different luck? I tried the otg to an x1 controller and it rebooted my phone....
I got the same results with the Xbox One controller. Wireless adapter still doesn't work (expected), but when plugging the controller in via USB my phone would boot-loop until I unplugged the controller. And even then it still rebooted two more times before working again. I haven't been home to try my Wii or Xbox 360 controllers yet. I thought I would just grab the XBone controller and use it with the Gear VR today on my lunch break. What a disappointment.
I tried hooking ps4 controller and had same issue. I found it might be related to faulty not tested drivers in marshmallow system. Yeah I'm disappointed too.
Moga works.
My Xbox 360 wired controller works, PS3 doesn't (wired or bluetooth).
Same problem here. PS3 controller wired with OTG, just has the 4 charge leds blinking, nothing happens.
XBOX 360 controller, home button keeps blinking and also nothing happening other then that.
Same here ps4 controller not working, causing phone to crash and boot loop when connected. I have a wired Logitech pc x input controller that I tried and it seems to work just fine. But this totally sux as I love my ds4 and was hoping to use it with the gear vr. The Logitech is no where as near as comfortable as the ds4. At least I have something that works for now. Hopefully there will be a fix.
i have tried xbox 360 wired, xbox 360 wireless receiver and a xbox one controller, none work in the s7 but the xbox 360 ones work in my other phones...
Has anybody found a way to use an Xbox one controller with their s7 devices?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Xbox one controller not working at all
I was using my xbone controller with my s7 edge and it rebooted my phone after that it doesn't read my phone anymore and it won't work with me Xbox one, wireless or wired. When I push the guide button it won't turn on and when I plug it into the Xbox it just blinks twice and dies. Don't use your Xbox one controller on your s7!! If anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know lol

You mean to sync it to the Xbox? It does but it only blinks twice and then dies. I left it charging over night and that's all it would do. I left it charging again and I'm about to try it with my Xbox but yeah so far no luck lol
you guys know you need a custom kernel with xpadder support enabled and the xbox fixes for the linux kernel version. So if you want it build the support in the kernel and it will work.

no, the DS button I'm speaking of, is one that let u make a "factory reset" of the controller, making it like new (speaking of paired devices) so u can pair again as it was new, that ususally solves when the PS doesnt recognize it properly, but I'd never had an xbox so I don't know if that exists on their controllers
Hope they get a fix for this. Got an xbox one controller to play both on PC and my s7 edge. But.. fook this
has anyone found a solution to this yet? im now running on nougat . just getting boot loop error. it finds the controller for less then a second. soon as the xbox one controllers rumble pack generates the "connected" rumble. it shuts the phone off
Samsung Galaxy S5 SM- 900V Rooted Android 7.1 CyanogenMod 14.1 kltevzw Build NDE63P crashes and goes into boot loop when I plug in OTG cable with Xbox 360 controller attached. The second I unplug it, everything is ok. Different ROM maybe? Trying to play games using Google VR so I need to run a controller or it sucks. I have stock 360 controller and a Powera 360 mini controller (preferred)
