PS3 Wireless Controller - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

So i plugged in my ps3 controller with my OTG cable and it worked without the need of installing an app, but playing with the wire attached is to much of a hassle. How can i play wirelessly? do i have to purchase a wireless device or something?

edit: can't use wirelessly? that can't be.
their has to be a way, are you sure?

I bought Sixaxis app it work great. You also need to download the Sixaxis pairing tool, free, to your pc to enter the bluetooth address from the tablet. Well worth it IMO.

My first part says Update:: it works wirelessly if you pair with a pc first with the sixaxis pairing tool.

I have a sixaxis controller that I paired already ot my Xperia phone. How do I clear the pairing and re-pair to my nexus?
I plugged it into OTG but even then its still paired to my phone ROFL

You can stick a small pin in through the hole on the back towards the center and upwards to the right a bit. That will reset it. Then use the pc pairing tool to set the mac address of your bluetooth as shown in the sixaxis app

Just use your pc and the pairing tool and enter the BT address from your tablet.

I bought the sixxasis app and didn't need the pc app. Just make sure your far away from your ps3 so you don't turn it on

Gametel wireless controller for Xperia arc

http://gametelcontroller.com/
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

Six axis controller help.

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.

[Q] Sixaxis and 4.3

Anyone know how to get it to work? I found a thread saying he got it to work but I cannot seem to do the same. I am on a 2013 Nexus 7 32gb and bootloader unlocked stock rom rooted.
I have a thread all about this. in a nutshell, fully charge the sixaxis, one charged. get a paperclip and push the reset button on the controller. this xeros the bluetooth address. now google sixaxis android app and go to the app page. read the developer description, theres a link to the sxaxis pairtool for pc. look on your sixaxisapp, at the bottom you should see your Bluetooth address. you need that. go to the sixaxis pair tool on the pc, plug in the sixaxis, enter into the tool your nexus 7 Bluetooth address. after click update address, now unplug the controller close the program, plug it back in and recheck the address to make sure it's right, if all is good then your done. launch your sixaxis app start and link your controller like normal. due to otg chages the app can't seem to sync the proper Bluetooth address by it'self on 4.3. that's why you need a PC.

you don't pair it, pairing was done by the pc, the pairing in the app is for otg Bluetooth address sync. all you have to do after you synced with the pc is hit start on the six axis app then hit the ps button on the controller it will automaticlly sync itself and should show number 1 red light.
If you can't get the sixaxis pair tool to work (I couldn't with W8... Damn you Bill Gates), try Better DS3. New tool I found that is pretty simple and works.

I was able to pair to my rooted N7 using the sixaxis tool and an OTG cable. Otherwise, you have to manually enter the bluetooth address of the controller using the sixaxis pair tool (http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html).
I had to try a few times to get it paired successfully but in theory, all you need is the sixaxis app and a rooted N7. The OTG cable makes pairing easier since you don't have to find out the bluetooth address of your controller, but the PC method will take care of that if you don't have the cable handy.
Ohhh.. I always forget to mention. When you are pairing your controller on the computer, you have to enter the N7s address in backwards.
N7 Address: 3F:45:67:89:4D
Enter into Sixaxis: 4D:89:67:45:3F
Super weird but it never fails Used it to sync up and play some Riptide yesterday. Been using the same method for months on other devices.
P.S.: I use BetterDS3 because last time I tried, Sixaxis Pair Tool did not work with W8.

Moga has an app can be downloaded from the play store (moga pivot) and yes it uses bluetooth. This should work without root. If you google moga is a big name which should work on android 2.3 and above. I think the reason is samsung which is now blocking all 3rd part devices from 4.4.2 but I am not sure. I think the only option left is the samsung gamepad..
Not for $100 bucks. That's plain crazy

Has anyone been able to get the sixaxis app working? I can't... I believe it has to do with a missing Samsung Bluetooth protocol in newer Samsung devices.
That was one of my main reasons for getting a tablet!
Not that it matters but I emailed Samsung support and their response: Thank you for contacting Samsung. I see that you would like to know whether Galaxy Tab S supports hooking up to a wired xbox USB controller. I do understand your concern and requirement. However, this Tablet does not support wired xbox USB controller. Unfortunately, as of now theere are no compatible controllers that use an USB OTG cable for this model from Samsung and Samsung does not have any tested results on using PS3 controller with the Tablet. I hope the above provided information address your concern.
controller recharges the tablet
is it possible to connect the controller (that has a battery pack) to the tablet and recharge the tablet?
eg. can a xbox one controller, that has a battery pack, be connected with an mhl cable/usb cable to a tablet and be used to charge the tablet? so the tablet is not drained while playing games.
(i asked this in the accessories forum too, apologies)

I tried that, but the Galaxy Tab won't find the controllers. I've set it up on multiple devices, but couldn't get it working on this one.
