Usb joycentre, ps3 controller stopped working - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I put my ps3 controller into my galaxy s3 via the otg cable then started the usb joycentre app it worked okay for a while but when I tried to.connect it via bluetooth it couldn't connect now the app has made my wireless controller stop charging and stop flashing.
It recognises the controller when I plug it in but it won't recognise the pressing of buttons.
Can anyone help me please not sure what I did wrong or how to make it charge again, I know the app did something but don't know what

Cool found the answer, I just had to reset the controller by putting a small pin in the small hole on the back of the controller to reset it.
Phew! So guess this will help anyone else with this problem

Can't get it to work, says need a bt dongle with joycentre and when I try the sixaxis it won't pair it just listens for controllers and when I press the p3 button it just continues to charge.
Oh I'm having no luck with this at all followed the you tube video but didn't work for me
Cool did it by pressing start on sisaxis then pressing the p3 button on the controller then connecting the controller via otg then waiting for it to say connected, one light stays on and then disconnef the cable and you have wireless play via ps3 controller
Oh and to map the buttons for nova 3 I took a screen shot of nova 3 gameplay with all the controls on screen then went into sixaxis edit touch then add screenshot add buttons to the conrols save the profile and can play nova 3.

Pls Help
Here is what I did:
1. Installed the Sixaxis Controller app, opened it, and found the local bluetooth adress on the bottom-left of the screen.
2. Downloaded and installed Motionjoy Gamepad Tool on my computer.
3. Connected my ps3 controller to my computer using USB, and clicked "BluetoothPair", then "Custom MAC" on Motionjoy.
4. Entered my prime's bluetooth adress, and clicked "Pair Now".
5. Removed the usb cable and went back to my prime and changed input method to "Sixaxis Controller".
6. Clicked "start" and waited for it to say "Successfully Configered Bluetooth" on the sixaxis app.
7. Pressed the home botton on my ps3 controller and voila, it's connected!

i have done all from your HOW TO , but ...

PLEASE HELP
Ok. When you connect the ps3 controller to the computer and open Motionjoy and click BluetoothPair, does it say "Have paired to:" then the bluetooth adress next to it? Since it does say "Client Connected" once, then I think you got the setup right though.
Did you try to connect the ps3 controller to the prime using USB and pressing the home botton? Are you able to use the controller with USB? If that works, then I would try sixaxis again and make sure wifi is turned off. If it still disconnects, then I would try connecting another bluetooth device to the prime, to check if that is the problem. Also, if you haven't, try to reboot. If it still doesn't work, then you might have to use the USB cable.

some one how can help PLS ?
WTF ;( ?
Try this and tell me if it works:
1. Plug controller in with USB port connected.
2. Play around with it to make sure it works for a bit.
3. Push the Playstation button and unplug it from the USB at the same time.
Weird, but it works for me, lol.
If you bought a cheap ps3 controller off ebay it might be the problem, yes. It should be super easy you see, so there might be something wrong with the controller. I'm assuming you don't have the dock, so you are not able to test if it works on the prime using usb?
When you are pairing it, this is how it should look like:
I don't have Sixaxis installed, it's unrooted, and it works fine with bluetooth. I don't know why you're going through the trouble of using Sixaxis at all.

Tried 7 times, doesn't work for me when I turn off bluetooth. If it works for some with it off, then it's just a glitch probably.
I'm guessing it's a glitch, they fixed it in the update that I got I bet. Now it shows up in the actual bluetooth controllers in bluetooth settings, Woot! It caused reboots and i'm sure it was linked to that.
You conecct it without an app? If i want to pair manual it dont works .i have to do any settings in sixaxis ? Profil or anything?

ok, first i had to wat da hell?
The knockoff PS3 controllers like the one you got from ebay DO NOT WORK. i learned that the hard way too. Something with how they authenticate, it works for a PS3 but barely, i can connect it to my computer and use it as a controller for that, but for sixaxis controller on my tablet, no way.
Spend the money, buy a real controller. Used game places, pawn shops, i found one with the old packaging at my local TheSource store (TheSource.ca) for like, 15% off. I bought it, it works awesome.
As far as apps go, sixaxis controller is the way to go. Pay the couple of bucks, its worth it. Actively updated, new features seemingly every other week. just do it. you wont be sorry.
As far as getting the controller to connect:
Get this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
Go to here and download the sixaxis pair tool:
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
Other apps can do the same thing, i have used the one in the screenshots previous, however it reverses the mac address. Just use the one i linked, it works with no hassle.
Plug in sixaxis controller to your computer, use the tool to change the mac address.
Start the app on your tablet, it will turn off bluetooth if its on so no need to worry about that. start your sixaxis controller, it should connect pretty much no problem (as long as its genuine, if its a knockoff good luck)
The latest version of the app has a USB pair ability, you can connect your controller via USB and that, for whatever reason, worked on my knockoff controller. weird.
Hope this helps, i know its not the news your looking for. As of yet i cant find anything to get my cheap controller connected, aparently it uses nonstandard meathods for connecting to the PS3 so theres no definate way to make it work 100%.
Thanks for that i buy one and test it later.
I have to change the controller settings game by game ? Also for GTA one and other for shadowgun? Do you can send me your settings if i need it.
Thanks guys for your help

One more problem is that when i change the input method to sixaxis and change back to hackers keyboard . The keyboard DON'T shows up
I have to restart the prime and sometimes it helps

the trick of pushing the ps button and unplugging works for me too (without bluetooth on)
i have not turned bluetooth once since i got my prime and this little glitch works for me, and im not rooted
with the orginall PS3 controller works \fine jihaaaaa
but not vibrat. can i change that

PS3 Controller and Prime, am i doing something wrong??

So I have the prime and a ps3 controller and i changed the controller mac address to the primes and i can get it to connect using the sixaxis app but when i open up and emulator and try to configure the controls it registers one of the joysticks and the dpad as the same and wont even register the other joystick, did i do something wrong? also USB/BT Joystick Center wont even detect the controller, and I dont have the usb adapter or keyboard. It sees the right joystick and dpad as the same and wont detect the left analog stick movement besides pressing L3

Just to let you know the ps3 controller works on the prime without any root or sixaxis app. Just turn on BT on the prime, plug in the ps3 controller through usb port and turn on the Ps3 controller. Wait a few secs so it can pair, unplug and your up and running without any cables. Been using mine with bluetooth without any problems.

I don't have the usb adapter :/
bump still got no solution without USB adapter!
In your emulators settings (I use nesoid, snesoid etc) did you go into Other Settings> and check "Use Input Method" ? It says enable special input device eg bluetooth gamepad.
I have the same issue and I have the paid version and after. 21 update it doesn't work which really pisses me off... .21 update worst update so far? Fair to say?

Would this solve your problem? I haven't gotten mine yet but for that price it's worth a shot with the stock USB cable. I have the dock so my PS3 controller plugged right up.
no its been proven that that wont work, the usb charging cable doesnt have the correct pins for usb inputs, only the usb adapter does

You just have to plug it in through USB OTG and you're good to go.
Afaik you'll need an app for the Bluetooth connection tough.

In Sixaxis App just plug in through USB and hit Pair, and USB/BT App plug a BT dongle into OTG and hit search to get dongle's address then plug controller in through USB to pair then unplug and hit search and should find controller over BT.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread but do you still need to be rooted to use sixaxis app on the GS3?
I only ask as my stock TF101 works flawlessly with a PS3 controller over BT after pairing via a USB cable - no root required! Is that a general ICS thing or just a TF101 thing?

Hey guys. Today I bought OTG cable. I tried play Nova 3 with Ps3 controller. ( I didn't do anything. I just used cable. I can control homescreen, apps. But I can't play Nova 3.
help guys Now I have cable but still I can't play some games.
Only some games have built in support for controllers. NOVA doesn't, but if you get Sixaxis Controller you set-up touch profiles so different keys will emulate motions on the screen, that's how you can do it.
Also, only certain devices support PS3 syncing via BT without an app, my Sony Tablet S has built in support, you plug it in, turn bluetooth on and it's synced via BT, but the GS3 doesn't, so if you want to play without the OTG cable, get Sixaxis controller.
Nooo, I want play with OTG cable. How can I use Sixaxis Controller with OTG cable ? Or, Should I try Joystick Center app ?
By using sixaxis controller you'll be able to create profiles for all games , even nova 3 k:

USB/BT controller (I think the app you're referring to) also has Touch Emulation via a plugin (it requires Root just like Sixaxis Controller does though for touch emulation), but as others are saying, why would you want to do that when you can do it wirelessly? Wireless connection affords you the advantage of being able to also connect to MHL and your HDTV...
Anyways, more information here:
I can't do Sixaxis. I think USB/BT Joystick Center is easier than Sixaxis. But I can't find Ps3 controller buttons in Button mapping.

Why can't you do Sixaxis? It is definitely easier than USB/BT - the video above has a guide for a Nova 3 touch emulation and Sixaxis pairing and the blog has a touch emulation profile you can just download and start using!

[Q] Pair PS3 Controller with Dancing Pixel Studios App. Help!!!

So I bought a cheap OTG cable off amazon to connect my ps3 controller to my phone. I followed all Dancing Pixel Studios' instructions and I can use my controller while its plugged in, but it won't pair through bluetooth. When I press start it connects to the controller, but after it connects I try to click pair controller and it says "No controller found - please connect it via USB cable. The cable I bought is kind of janky, it only works when I position the cable just right. I don't think the cable is the problem because I get it to connect and I keep the cable in the exact same position and click pair and still nothing. I even tried pairing it in the bluetooth menu but it just keeps pairing and pairing, and nothing happens. BTW, I am on the latest cm9 build from gray wolf with little to no issues. Any help would be awesome!!!

I've been using my PS3 controller with a Nexus 7 so it should work pretty much the same. To get it to pair through bluetooth, you must go to the dancing pixel website and download a little exe called something along the lines of bluetooth address changer or something like that. This will let you change the bluetooth address of the controller to the bluetooth address of your rezound. The controller will then pair with your phone through bluetooth. hope this helped!

If it's still not pairing I would make sure that the bluetooth address of the controller matches the one of your rezound because that happened to me the first time I tried to pair it with my nexus 7.

Yep, just double checked it and it is exactly the same... this is annoying. I appreciate your help thus far though.
update: I just connected my controller to my phone, opened sixaxis app and pressed Start and it found the controller right away, so I pressed Change IME and chose ps3 controller and I used the d-pad and square to choose pair controller and click pair. It still said no controller found. Bahahaha!!!!

If I remember right it's a Bluetooth stack/ Bluetooth driver issue on the
Rezound and other Sense phones. I believe there are some Non-Sense Roms that have the correct Stack/driver that will fix the issue but I can't remember which ones they are sorry. Also have you tried Wii remote? That works for me even on Sense Roms.

You are correct, the only way to pair a ps3 controller on an HTC device, is to be rooted, and have an aosp, or an aokp Rom on ur phone. That's it. Plus.... You need to have an OEM ps3 controller. Any cheapo controller won't work

You need root for this.
Install sis axis of controller from playstore. After that use an otg cable to connect ur ps3 controller to ur tablet using the supplied ps3 cable. Power up ur ps3 controller. Open sisaxis controller and press pair controller. Ur bluetooth mac address will be seen at the bottom. Add that to the empty field.
Change IME to sis axis controller. Then press start. You can remove the cable now. Ur controller is now paired. Next time u don't have to repair ur again. Just have to open sisaxis controller app, press start and turn on ur ps3 controller.
