[Update]
Seems like the answer is yes!
I've not got the 3.1 update yet so I can't tests this.
What are the chances that with the new joystick support and host mode that the USB xbox wireless receiver will work? Would be great to use a wireless 360 pad with the emulators and even android games
Xbox360 wont work wireless. only wired. Maybe ps3 ones will work in the future wireless with bluetooth. What i dont understand is that if you will need to download a driver o someone have to make an app like the one for the wii controller.
Just to be clear, I'm referring to the USB connected wireless receiver for PC's to use the wireless controllers. I know work has been done to get it running in Linux, was hoping they would have added support in 3.1 (long shot I know).
Good question on the app, I assume we'll just need the applications to understand the mappings. I assume the emulators will work since they have a built in mapping utility.

If I had a dang OTG cable i'd be able to tell you...wish verizon would start selling them!
I've now got an otg cable and receiver so once 3.1 hits the UK I'll do some testing
As of now the PC adapter doesn't work. Also app developers need to add some lines of code in order to take full advantage of USB devices. I have dne a little research on it, I don't know how much it would take to add new devices to the xoom, but from looking at it people should be able to write/port drivers to the xoom kinda like how the wii remote work using an app. At least this is my understanding of how it works.

Just have to connect the USB receiver to a OTG cable, then connect the wireless controller like normal. Been using it as well, it works fine!

The Gametel wireless controller is set to launch in time for Christmas for the low price of £49.95.
Read more from:
http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Android/Gametel+wireless+game+controller/news.asp?c=35266
I've just been reading about this myself, see http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/17/ga...android-phone-into-an-xperia-play-but-better/
It's not clear at this point if this will basically behave like an Xperia Play controller or not. They mention it will work in Asphalt 5 HD, but no mention of other Play-enabled games like NOVA 2 or Aftermath XHD.
Definitely worth watching this though, if the reviews are positive and it works with all the Play-enabled games (maybe with some hacking?) it will be on my Xmas list.
A bit of a double post... but has anyone tried this?
I have tried connecting my PS3 Controller via the LiveDock but it can only work when connecting to USB Cable and not via bluetooth like the way it work with my Sony Tablet.
Guess it need the software interface which pair the controller to the device via bluetooth.
So which are the controllers able to work with our phone which has been tested?
hi mate
If you go into Bluetooth menu it gives u the Bluetooth address
U can then plug your ps3 control in to laptop and use six axis pair tool(which is free to download onto ur computer ,just google it) and you can manually change the address control address to that of the phone
Not sure if it will work without six axis app on your phone or not but is worth a try
Hope that helps

Argh so I'm following these guides to the letter and I still can't get this to work.
I've got everything installed correctly , I change the Master address for the controller on my PC, everything goes fine up until I unplug the controller from the PC and hit the Power button on the controller for it to pair with my phone. all 4 lights just flash on the controller and eventually go off and do nothing. Now while that happens, the phone says "Client connected:1" like its suppose to. But the controller is not connected and will not do anything at all.
I than plug it back into the computer and it seems whenever I unplug it, the master change doesn't save and it goes back to its default BT address.
I'm assuming the problem is because the master won't stick OR that's just because the controller isn't connecting to the device so it resets itself to its last known use? Thing is, the controller is brand new and has never been used on a PS3 since I don't own one.
Anyone have any insight on this? Spent $35 for the controller and another $2 for the app and can't use it at the moment :/
NOTE: My phone is the sprint GSIII despite what my sig says due to build.prop changes
EDIT: the compatibility checker indicated its compatible.
Do I need a USB OTG cord to connect it for the controllers first time being synced to a device maybe? Don't have a ps3 to connect it to unfortunately.
little bump, i have no useful information other than i read there was a way to pair the 2 using only the phone, not sure where i saw it tho, maybe on a youtube video on setting up sixaxis?
Im very interested to see if this works, as i want very badly to play n64 and other games on my projector with the mhl adapter, instead of having to use the usb for the controller, i would try it but don't own a sixaxis controller atm.
I did it with the otg cable with out a pc took me a minute to get but it worked. so I unplugged it. It is now wireless so I tried to Play dead trigger and a couple of other games and the controls wouldn't work right I was able to control the phone from the ps3 controller but no games and with the controller plugged in via otg cable games worked great

I have the AT&T version but I am sure they both work the same way.
Make sure you grab the correct bluetooth address from your phone, says it at the bottom of the phone in the app.
Then download the drivers and sixaxis pair tool application on the PC, make sure they are installed! Grab your PS3 dualshock controller and connect it to your PC. It should go through installing the drivers/making sure you have them installed, once its complete your current controllers master will be shown at the top. You need to change it so that it reads the same as your mobile phones address.
Once that is complete go back to your phone, open up the program and start the driver, now hold the ps button until you see it sync, if it isn't syncing then you have a problem with the address of either your phone or controller.
Or...
You can actually make a cheap OTG cable yourself with stuff you probably have laying around the house. All you need is an USB extender cable and a micro USB cable, along with some wire and a soldering kit.

When I used the app with my nexus s I had to use the computer tool, now with the galaxy all I had to do was plug it in with an otg cable, pair, and make sure you change the input method. Now I just start the app, press start on the app turn the controller on and it pairs instantly.

Yeah I got everything down but for some reason the controller isn't saving the master change. As soon as I unplug it from the PC after changing it, it goes right back to its default master. I continue to press the button on it anyway to pair with my phone and my phone said Client connected: 1 like its suppose to, but the controller lights just keep flashing another 5 seconds and it shuts off.
Assuming the master change isn't working. Tried both the new and old .exe's on the dev's site for the PC pair tool. :/
So if I get an OTG cord, I can do the initial pair with that and than it will pair wirelessly from there on out or I have to always use it with the cord that way?
Thanks guys.

Have you tried using another PC program like MotionJoy? Downloading their drivers to see if you can change the master address with it instead? That would be my next suggestion if you are having issues with the master not sticking, obviously the best option would be to connect it to a PS3 first to make sure you at least have a default master.
If this doesn't work let me now, I'll try to think up some other ways before you have to purchase a cable to make it work.

Yeah I tried motion joy and the controller works great wired to the computer (Works on the PC I mean) but I don't have a Bluetooth adapter for my PC to pair it with unfortunately.
Note that whenever I sync the controller to MotionJoy, I'm unable to use that USB port with SixaxisPairTool because MotionJoy drivers were installed with that port and motionjoy instantly picks it up and makes it unrecognizable to the sixaxistool program (Uninstalling motionjoy solves this) but just thought I'd throw it out there.
I clicked BluetoothPair in motionjoy and the BT address shows different than the one Sixaxistool shows, when I choose Custom Master or whatever it says and type in my phones, it "changes" it on the screen and says it changed, I than unplug it from the PC and start the app on the phone, Press the PS button on the controller and the 4 lights blink, the phone says Client connected:1, but the lights all keep blinking and than shut off. If pressed again the blink than turn off. I than connect it back to the PC and the BT address is shown as the default one from before I choose custom.
Pretty much the Change Master only stays while its connected to the PC, soon as I unplug it the master resets. I verified that by changing it, closing the programs (Both motionjoy and sixaxistool, at separate times of course during their own individual attempts) and than reopen either program and it shows what I changed it to still. But like I said as soon as the cord comes out it resets.
Sorry for the wall of text, just trying to provide as much info as I can. I ordered a cable but that can always come in handy anyway and I'd like to see if we could still solve this without one maybe to save some cash for anyone that has this problem in the future ya know!

I know there was an issue with MotionJoy with having to put the address in "backwards" before it paired, I don't know if that was fixed or if that is still an issue. It's odd that it works fine when you plug it in to the PC but once you try wireless, it resets... I guess it's because you have yet to use the controller AS a bluetooth device, it has always been a wired connection. So you either have to pair it with a ps3, or with another bluetooth device.
Maybe you should just wait on the cable haha

Hahah yeah I pulled enough of my hair out and gave in on the cord thanks for trying though! I agree its probably related to being a new unused controller.

Argh okay got the cord. Controller works fine as a game pad. Works flawlessly on ShadowGun and Dead trigger which both have game pad function built in.
Can not get it to connect via Bluetooth still..
Tried exactly what the video showed and such.
Only thing I can think of is the controller could possibly be dead? Which I doubt because all the trouble shooting I've been doing (Connected to PC for an hour trying to get motion joy to go, connected to my phone the past 15min, I even plugged the USB into my wall adapter for my phone to see if it charged. Lights just blink than go off after like 5minutes. That mean its charged or what? Don't have a ps3, does it need one to charge? :/

Is this an OEM Sony Controller? Chinese fakes aren't going to work. Same thing with Wii remote clones.

I think its OEM? How would I go about checking?
It was this one:
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0015AARJI/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1341986008&sr=8-1
But it wasn't the Amazon seller by default when I got it, it was a seller named Wireovia, they've got 4.8 stars with 3559 ratings so I didn't really think much of them being fakes? Price was $39 though I don't see them in the list of sellers now, but they were default before.
Also the controller didn't come with a cord, is that a sign of a fake or is that the same with Sony's official?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
EDIT: Well crap. I was looking at "How to spot a fake" guides and they mention two definite ways of telling, one being the battery inside is different and another being there is no screw under the sticker on the back on the official, whereas the fakes have a screw under there.
Now mine has what looks to be a screw without a screwable head on it under the sticker. Maybe the new fakes have the head of the screws taken off because they knew it gave it away? Idk. Going to take it apart tomorrow and see the battery.
Anyone know if its possible to return an opened item? Purchased June 29th received it on July 3rd. It came with an amazon lable saying "Returning is easy, go to our website blah blah blah" but mentioned it being unopened. Hmm..
Call Amazon's 800 number and tell them this isn't a genuine controller, and is giving you pairing difficulties. You don't have to say what kind. Ha ha. You should get your money back no problem.
Can others on the Canadian gsiii variants download the Sixaxis app from the market? Play thinks it's not compatible with my device (d2can / rogers).
I remember from before this app had issues working on devices running sense or touchwiz ui and I had problems with it on my stock vibrant and sgs2 but it runs well on aosp based roms.so today I flashes aokp r3 and low and behold it works now! Played
Dead trigger flawlessly earlier.T-Mobile sgs3 btw.
Hi,
My phone doesn't detect my Wired Xbox 360 Controller via the USB OTG cable. The cable is working normally, tried with a mouse and keyboard.
The lights just keep flashing on my controller and it doesn't respond to button presses. I was under the impression this controller should work natively with Jelly Bean, without any configuring, as I've seen many guides to just plug and play.
Am I doing something wrong or do other people have the same issue?
I thought I was the only one who wanted to do this... unfortunately support needs to be added in the kernel I believe, and in the appropriate .kl file. I have not tried just modifying the .kl yet, as I got a moga.
even ive purchased a og usb otg cable 4 the same reason & also 2 use external hdd drives but the controller behaves the same 4 me & abt the hdd thing is still unknown.
