Bluetooth Stacks Implementation - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've downloaded this app that turns your tablet into a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for a PS3. The only problem lies into unsupported Bluetooth Stacks Implementation. The app itself tells you to try a CM rom....
Also, has anyone found a work around for the ps3 to recognize our device

No, are you talking about BluePutDroid? It doesnt work on any device with 4.2+. Not a device problem but rather its the developer's app he hasnt updated it in 2 years

Yes, and I didn't even bother to check that out either

Sarcasm. Well, not something you can really do, unless you mod the app code.

It may also be that 4.2+ versions of Android have removed "Pinless pairing" from most parts of the Bluetooth stack, which is why we can't pair game controllers like the Wii Remote or PS3 controller anymore. The reverse may be the case that the method being used by the app doesn't exist anymore in Android 4.2 and newer.

[BOUNTY] "We" Hire a Developer for Bluetooth Wii/Ps3 controller app!

So I was digging through the source code Samsung released for the Galaxy S, and in the eclair zip I started digging through the bluetooth folder and came across multiple files that look like they support pairing a PS3 controller...
when you have functions like
Code:
static int ps3remote_decode
it gets you thinking lol.
So anyone with some experience with this device let me know if its even possible to pair with a sixaxis or dual shock 3, and if you have some experience with source take a look at the attached zip, its the
external/bluetooth/bluez/input folders contents
Main references are in sixpair.c which is the actual pairing application I'd assume, and in fakehid.c, and fakehid.h

I wouldn't jump to conclusions to fast. Because of the DLNA support I think they are talking about the PS3 remote control not the controller.
I'm sure the support can be added but it probably would take a little bit of hacking.
you know I'm not so sure now. I just looked in the main branch of Froyo source, and sure enough those files are still there. So I don't think it has anything to do with DLNA. Plus if it did, why would it have anything in there having to do with pairing a PS3 controller and decoding the button presses of one and assigning them to keyboard presses. Has absolutely nothing to do with DLNA
As I said its probably referencing the video playback remote control and not the game controller. Both use Bluetooth

and like I said Sixpair.c specifically Mentions Dualshock 3, so I don't think thats what it's mentioning. Especially considering theres button mapping for L3 and R3 which isnt on the bluetooth remote for PS3

You didn't mention that in your first post. You just said can it be configured with a dual shock or sixaxis controller.
sixpair is a helper to pair with a Sony DS3/Sixaxis bluetooth controller.
it is part of the bluetooth protocol stack for Linux, called Bluez.
they used this helper to get the DS3/6axis to work on the Nokia N900.
So it is possible!!!
this is just amazing if it could do that

video playback remote control is just a rearrangement of ps3 controller button functions into a tradition remote control format.
Wii/PS3 bluetooth controller problem?
All reports of the WiiMoteController say it doesnt work on the Galaxy S.
Do we know why exactly? the author comments on this for the HTC devices. does the galaxy S share the same problem?
"on some devices, mostly HTC, the application starts searching and then stops immediately with the "Error no -1" message, even if the bluetooth is on. Most likely a fault from HTC and unfixible for now. See this thread for technical info. If you're a developer and have solved this kind of issue before, please tell how! A lot of Android users will be very grateful
(finding the wiimote with the phone is not the actuall issue here, but rather the lack of support for the low-level connectivity with the phone's bluetooth. BAD, BAD HTC! Go stand in the corner!)"
is this a quick fix or something deeper?
With regards to the htc sense affecting the wii controller app - I believe theres a bug with the htc bluetooth stack that returns null when pairing devices this stops code beyond this from executing, or something along those lines.
The way around this is to use a ROM, without Htc sense like OpenDesire, which has been tested on these forums.
Still as yet i don't know what the reason is for the Samsung Galaxy S, if its a similar bluetooth issue, but i'm as eager as you to find out because it would make the perfect emulation device with that screen!

Awaking from sleepy mode : What? Around the corner? How far till a workin one?
I would LOOOVE a psx emulator with a working PS3 controler.. Maybe with froyo (also around the corner) we get 2 flies at once.. Faster emulator and (support for) a real controler (WOW!)
droidforums.net/forum/droid-games/35309-playstation-emulator-development-40.html
its pretty much ready just waiting for a few tweaks from the emulator android guy. only the dev's word on that though, but its the same guys who did the iphone emulators zottd (or something) and the guy who did the android emulators. should be a good product.
and yes wtb froyo and increased bluetooth support for controllers
they also mention about the PS3 controller and there may be a way to sync it but you need to sync with a PC first...not sure on the reasoning behind that.

Man, that would be sweet. One thing about the galaxy s is that it has a great screen and powerful GPU but the only controls are the ones on the screen that are difficult to play with. I know this is of topic but does anyone know if the wiimote will ever be compadable with the galaxy s. I have tried it and does not work as of now.
It will work when the cyanogenmod ROM comes out, they have announced they are supporting the Galaxys S, should only be a matter of time.
It's just to use the ps3 controller to control your games. You can do the same with the WiiMote, you can even use it in the NES and SNES emulators.

[Q] Wirelessly control the Xoom?

What I'm looking for is this:
Currently I connect my laptop to my TV via VGA and control what I want to watch with the Logitech Air Mouse app on my iPhone. A pretty great solution.
Now with the Xoom I want to take advantage of the HDMI hook up. However I don't want to stand up and walk over to the tablet to pause or change the TV show.
I know I can use DLNA to stream video to my 360. My concern is video quality.
So is there another option that exists? Might be a cool app idea (throwing it out there).
So far as I know nothing like that exists. My guess is a rooting solution will come up with a way to remotely control the entire device. However, with VLC being developed for android it might be possible to use VLC on the Xoom and connect via your phone or PC using a VLC remote. That seems like a good solution to me.
I did a little research. Apparently a Galaxy S can be paired to a Bluetooth mouse? Not certain in what capacity though.
Ideas?

Really doubt that touchwiz is the reason for bluetooth mouse connectivity. Unless there's something I'm missing and there's a reason based on fact that you're making that assumption.

I found a forum answer to your original question
http://androidforums.com/xoom-accessories/289604-bluetooth-mouse.html
and its been known that manufacturer's heavily modify the bluetooth stack on android devices which is why I suggested touchwiz might be the reason it works. For example you cannot connect your wiimote to a lot of HTC sense devices since they have modified the bluetooth stack. Similarly I thought samsung may have added that feature since I haven't seen it as a common feature on most stock Android phones.

[Q] Help! Why TN7 can not connect to DualShock3 via bluetooth?

Hi there! I bought a Tegra Note7 which is equipped with Tegra4 Chipsets.Now I want to play games with DualShock3 via SIXAXIS CONTROLLER. The thing is that the app worked very well on my Moto Droid Bionic,but it did not work on my Tegra Note7. When I clicked "start" with every necessary steps done and the screen displayed address of bluetooth and listening for controllers,the "bluetooth" icon did not appear on the top status bar. So the DS3 controller was continuous flashing its 4 red lights,then no other things took place.
I have restored original android 4.3 rom,no changes. Could*you*please*tell me how to work it out? Thank you!
Before I rooted tablet I was able to plug ps3 controller in and was able to map buttons m8 I also used sixaxis enabler and everything fine until rooted then lost all ps3 controller mappings there's very little info on this subject I asked before ,something to do with Bluetooth drivers !

There's really nothing to figure out. The bluetooth stack on the stock ROM just doesn't work with PS3 controllers. Until someone can make a custom ROM with some sort of changes to bluetooth (or until Nvidia releases a ROM with decent bluetooth support), it's just not going to work, and there's nothing we can do to change that.

It's technically possible, but there has been almost no developer interest in this device. There are no custom ROMs available, and there's only one alternative kernel available, though I never did try a Sixaxis with that kernel... I do know that it broke support for my Moga, so that's not exactly promising. I'll have to give the Sixaxis a try here in a bit.

Assuming you mean shaky156 kernel I can confirm that it doesn't help the bluetooth issue
Just tried the latest version of Sixaxis with the latest OTA. And it seems to finally work on the built in blutooth stack without a usb dongle!

[Q] PS3 controller with nexus player?

The PS3 controller can be used on most any other rooted android device if you use the Sixaxis Controller app from the Play store. This does require root, however, so we'll have to wait for root before verifying that the PS3 controller will indeed work on the NP. I am near certain it will since it works great on the Nexus 7 and 10.
Once we have root, we can verify support with this checker app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscompatibilitychecker
If it says yes, you'd purchase and install this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
I doubt there'd be a leanback interface for the app before root comes, but it'd most likely work as is.
The Sixaxis Controller app for Android doesn't seem to work with Android 5.0 anymore.
I tried it with my Nexus 7 (2012) running rooted stock 5.0, using SuperSU 2.23, and it errors out.
Looks like it's gonna have to be updated for Lollipop, so it might be a no-go for the Nexus Player for a while.
The sixaxis controller app just got updated to support lollipop, so I'm gonna try it tonight and I'll report back.

To clarify, does the DS4 pair with the NP out of the box, or does it require root and an app? As dumb as this question sounds, my understanding is that the DS4 pairs with Bluetooth enabled PCs much more easily than the DS3 did, so I'm wondering if Android treats it any differently.

Truth be told I didn't even try it straight to the NP I used sixaxis right away. It works great. The new sixaxis app sometimes finds my DS3 as a fake controller other times it works fine but the DS4 always pops in fine. the touchpad is tweaky at best so i tend not to use it but this will be extremely handy once it is fixed properly.
Just tried it straight Bluetooth. The NP sees it as a Bluetooth controller but fails at pairing it. Tried multiple times but the NP just hangs. I really wish the Bluetooth stack in Android would finally support these devices (DS4, wiimotes, etc) properly...

I'm not sure that's a failing of Android. It's Nintendo/Sony using proprietary software with their hardware. Windows won't recognize them 100% without 3rd party software as well, as far as I remember.

While this is correct, it doesn't change the fact that Nintendo and Sony use proprietary software with their hardware, thus negating whatever bluetooth stack is being used.
That said, prior to Android 4.3, the Bluetooth stack used on your Android device was up to the OEM, and it differed from device to device. With Android 4.3, Google told OEMs which BT stack to use. This is to help with compatibility and consistency.
I read in another thread that you cannot have both sixaxis (for PS3 / PS4 controller etc) and the remote working at the same time. Wonder if anything can be done about that?

The wii remote doesn't use "proprietary software" that negates the bluetooth stack. it connects to pc bluetooth stacks fine. in fact android can detect the wii remote it just won't pair with it. cyanogen had actually included support for wii remotes in CM11 as long as your kernel supports wiimotes (most kernels just a downported driver).
This article http://lwn.net/Articles/597293/
has some interesting info on the bluetooth stack change.

I am able to pair my DS4 with with my Droid Turbo running 4.4.4 w/ no 3rd party software. Although it could be possible that Motorola modified the BT stack to allow this? It also paired w/ my old OPO and N5 both running CM11s. It would not pair w/ the N5 running vanilla KK. It doesn't seem like it's too hard to include whatever it is to make the DS4 compatible with android but for some reason Google doesn't include it out of the box. My DS4 also pairs w/ my MS Surface 2 Pro on Windows 8.1 with no special drivers or software.

How did you get the Nexus 7 to pair your PS3 controller with the Nexus Player? Could you let us know how you pulled it off?
I've side-loaded the Sixaxis controller app onto my nexus player and can't get it to connect. It did once, but crashed instantly and deleted my NP remote from the 'remote & accessories' menu lol. Causing me to resort to a factory reset to get it back.
I can pair the controller with the N7, no problem, NP just doesn't want to work. Any guidance would be appreciated
I think you may have been able to use a phone/tablet with the android tv remote app to re-add the stock remote. Not sure but worth a try over a FR.

Open the Sixaxis app on the nexus player and start it, and it'll show the Mac address of the nexus player. If you open it on your nexus 7 and connect the controller with a USB OTG cable, and click pair inside the sixaxis app, it'll prompt you to enter the Mac address, and it'll have the nexus 7's Mac address by default. Change it to the Mac address displayed on the nexus player. Once that's done, disconnect it and click the PS button. It should connect to the nexus player instead. I got it to work well, but I had the same issue and my nexus player remote stopped working, so I haven't looked into it any further.

Problem with SixAxis app...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but I searched all over and couldn't find anything.
I'm having a problem keeping my WIFI connection when using the SixAxis app. It only stays connected for a minute or so and then goes back to LTE. And it won't connect back to WIFI until I disconnect from the app and turn on airplane mode or reboot.
Also, I'm able to connect and use my Dualshock 3 controller, but it doesn't connect to Bluetooth.
I'm running Resurrection Remix v5.2.9(LP 5.0.2) on my D800, if that helps any.
Thanks!
Are you saying that it's working with cable but don't work with Bluetooth? Did you used the SixaxisPairTool to pair your controller with your phone?
And I also have too that problem with WIFI, maybe it's a bug on Android L.

Yeah, it doesn't show that Bluetooth it's opened, but the app works well. I use a Dualshock 3 with ppsspp emulator and it's work great except those 2 bugs, I didn't even noticed that bug with Bluetooth until you said . As I told, maybe those bugs are only on Android L and they will be fixed

Yeah, the WIFI thing is annoying because you can't play N.O.V.A.'s multiplayer on data.
I'm sure it's Lollipop or maybe even the ROM.
Are you able to pair the controller using Bluetooth before connecting to the SixAxis app?

Like, turn on Bluetooth, turn on the controller, and then pair them.
Every time I try, it says "invalid code". Or something along those lines.

Ah. I was just curious. Not sure if it's just me that's having a problem or if you just can't directly pair them.

Then whats the purpose of sixaxis app if you can directly pair them? Maybe they can't be directly paired and the only solution is Sixaxis app.
