Moga game controller - HTC Droid DNA

I just got mine in the mail today. Bought from amazon. I will post info here on my experience with the DNA and the moga controller, in case any of u are interested
EDIT: 3-16-13
as of today, i have used the moga controller 4 times. 2 of them played smoothly. the other two, i noticed a lag, an obvious lag. such a lag that i shut down Dead Trigger, cleaned the cache on my DNA, and rebooted it, hoping that would clear any issues.
packaging:
now that i got that off of my chest, here is a more proper description of the moga controller. it came in a nice package that included a download code for a download of sonic cd. i havent tried it yet. it also came with the standard manuals, legal docs, etc. and lastly it came with that leather pouch that u see in the pictures below. i really like the pouch, fits the controller nice and snug.
working the device:
setting up the controller with your phone is fairly easy, simply install the moga app, turn on your bluetooth, and follow the intructions on the moga app: make sure the moga controller is on by turning on the power switch thats hiding under the phone clamp. wait for the controller and your phone to pair up, itll typically take a few seconds to pair up when functioning properly. but im running into an issue, often times itll take a long time to pair up. very long, more than a minute long. sometimes i toggle on an off the bluetooth till it finally gets running. but its beginning to upset me that itll take that long to pair up.
feel of the device
did any of u ever hold the original xbox small controller? wll this is what it feels like to me, it feels perfect in my hands, i have fairly medium to large size hands. the analogs,joysticks feel like the one from the nintendo 3ds, and if uve ever felt it, then u know what im talking about. lets just say, it feels nice. i know ps3 analogs would be much better, but this is how it was made, and i like it.
pros
now when it functions properly, it is amazing! i love playing dead trigger with this controller, it gets right on the dot when i hit that trigger and kill them zombies!
cons
remember the lag i mentioned? well i have experienced times when i hit the shooting triiger and i experience at least a half of a second to a whole sencond of lag time till i finnaly see the weapon being shot off in dead trigger, very upsetting. and also, when turning or moving my character, sometimes he continues to move even after i left go of the joysticks/analogs.
i know some of u would like more details, so please feel free to ask away. i will update my experience with this controller further down.
im not sure how to post pictures, but i did the best to make sure u can see how it looks with my dna on the controller

Pictures as well I hope.

I originally bought mine so I could play SNES games better. A wood of advice, if you want to use the device for anything other then the game that you buy through the MOGA software, you need to download the MOGA Universal Driver. It's a separate app that you run and changes it to a universal controller. It works best if you have root access but can be used without it. Below is the link to it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.obsidianx.android.mogaime

I actually got one of these at PAX East for free and haven't had a chance to try it on my DNA. I'll have to do that when I get home tonight and see how it works.

Help with MOGA Hero
Hello
I just got the hero pocket version, to use with my Droid DNA. It works with the pivot app, but it is not detected by the universal driver app. I have tried stopping the pivot service as well as the other suggestions in the universal driver app guide, but it still won't work. This is very frustrating because the main reason I got the controller was for the emulators. I was wondering if this could be an issue specific to the droid DNA?

WOAH, not that moga. dear god.
What you need is the POWER A MOGA Pro Power. It's a full sized controller. Feels like a mix of xbox 360 and ps3 controller. Has two modes A and B. A is the normal MOGA connection setting, B is a HID input setting. A good number of games that do not support MOGA will support the HID setting (B). Battery life is amazing, even phone charging capabilities. Rechargeable batteries, no AAA's required. I was able to download Epic Citadel and run around, jump, that's about it but that's all you can do with that tech demo. Respawnables works with (B) setting even though it isn't moga supported.
I had the MOGA pocket before. I thought it was pretty cool at first, but just all around a piece of crap IMHO. My recommendation is the POWER A MOGA pro power. dual analog sticks, d pad, a, b, x, y, r1, r2, r3, and l1, l2, l3, along with start and select buttons. I HIGHLY recommend you upgrade brother. It's cheap on amazon and WELL worth it! :good:

For the Universal Driver you must be rooted, and your specific MOGA has to be supported by the app. Check in the app description to see if it is or not. IF it is supported and you are rooted, app settings< clear cache & data (for universal driver ONLY), reboot, check in SU log if universal driver has been granted Super User permissions. Any other problems just ask :good:
If you're wondering, B mode (HID) is the same as syncing moga with Universal Driver in mode A. (In my experiences it is) So, if you have a MOGA with A & B settings and you want to play emulators, just switch to B mode, then map controls in the emulator controller settings. :good:

[Q] Controller turns ...

Hi Guys, sorry for my bad english, but i have a problem mit with Prime with Logitech F510.
I´m not rooted.
i´ve connected my F510 to my prime and on Android the controller works fine, SNES Emulator works fine, Riptide works fine.
BUT: when i start Shadowgun THD or N64 Emu or GTA 3, the controller starts to turn arround i cant stop that .
i do something wrong? my controller is destroyed? On my PC it works fine.
It has something to do with the LT and RT buttons, when i press them on half , it will stop ... is it possible to deactivate dem?
i bought this controller , cause i´ve seen so much Videos about this controller on prime .
please help me
i need help noboby a clue?
is it possible to get it fine with siaxis ?? or is this just for PS3 controllers?
No clue. I have a similar issue with that game. Up turns left and left turns up. Controller works fine with other games

damn i want to play with it. cause this controller is the best one in the hands
okay bought a PS 3 Dualshock controller. Rootet and Sixaxis. this should work.
I have the same issue on a XBox compatible controller I bought from GameStop. On the package there was written they were authorized to use the XBox logo since it is 100% compatible and it looks like it's working on the Prime (can select, run, get back and to home with controller) but I can't solve the issue... anyone can help me?

If you download the sixaxis app you can use the PS3 controller through Bluetooth and it works great for Shadowgun, GTA, N64oid, and FPse. I like the PS3 controller better than xbox because you can use it through Bluetooth.
Just to let you know, the controller I bought is this one and it's working properly on my PC... they said it was 100% compatible with the normal XBOX 360 controller and they were authorized by Microsoft to make it, it's kinda refurbishment and rebrand of the normal XBox's... any idea on how to make it stop turning? Also if it's not a PS3 controller, I tried Sixaxis Compatibility Checker to see if there was any problem, but it wasn't able to detect it, but I think it wasn't meant to be detecting it... another strange thing is that the controller keeps on blinking on the 4 parts of the ring, but I assume it's quite normal?
Thanks for help

I don't think it's the controler.
I've got an authentic wireless xbox controller from my xbox and a reciever dongle.
On my pc and some games that support the controler on the prime it works great.
But shadowgun is the problem because I've got the same problem with it.
Similar experiences with "rotation" during gameplay
I've recently bought a wired xbox 360 controller (fake one) and i'm also experiencing issues with the controller similar to the ones mentioned above. In shadowgun if i trigger a certain control (depending on how i map the controls) the man start to spin in either direction, as if i'm e.g. pressing one of the small joysticks to turn left. Similar issues in soulcraft, but the free version of Zen Pinball works just fine (but there i don't use the joysticks of course).
It seems likely that there is some driver issue, would be interesting to know if anyone with an authentic xbox 360 wired controller is experiencing the same thing?
And also, anyone tried "USB/BT Joystick Center 5 P" or similar app and see if that can be used as a workaround?

USB/BT Joystick Center 5 doesn't change how the Xbox 360 wireless controller works on Android games, such as Shadowgun and GTA3 - as far as I've tried. I have the same problem, official MS 360 wireless controller, wireless receiver, and Shadowgun does not want to work. I can only map about 2 buttons, axis 3+ and axis 3-, and it doesn't work that way either. GTAIII will navigate menus but won't do anything else.
What JC5 does is change how an emulator sees the controller, for instance, I was playing a game on FPSE. Using USB/BT JC5, you can remap all the buttons, but not the joysticks, as hardware buttons (this includes keyboard keys, which is default and works fine) for compatibility with games that didn't use the joysticks. As far as the joysticks go, I haven't put that one together. I've been trying to get N64oid to work properly with the joystick and it's getting better but it's got its own set of issues.
Do any of the bluetooth controllers on the market work perfectly with Shadowgun/GTA3? I don't own a PS3 and didn't plan on buying one at all, much less any of the controllers since I have an RROD'd 360 sitting around and I had the wireless controller along with it.
EDIT: Still working on this myself, not much to say other than I just want to play the Armored Core series again ;(
Thx for the info!
Ok, good to know about that before buying the BT app. So, while waiting for game devs to to something about this i suppose next step is testing a ps3 controller somewhere and see if that improves anything in the games.
Must say i'm a bit disappointed though, since tegra zone boosts controller support for shadowgun. It's not really the same thing hammering your thumbs on the screen in a fps-game...
Couldn't get any controller compatible games to run with the 360 controller, at least the wireless one. For emulators it works great.
However I cashed in the 360/accessories and coughed up to buy a PS3, and that thing plugs up just fine, works like a champ with the games. For emulator I think you'd still need the BT/Joystick app, I already had it all mapped before I even thought that it would work as it sat.
Good to know about ps3
Ok, thx for the info about ps3 controllers, nice (not as such... ) to know someone else experiencing the same with the 360 controller. if i go and buy myself a ps3 controller, are you using the wired or the wireless ones?

I'm using the one that came with the console, it's wireless with no rechargeable batteries, but you plug in the cable (it's a very common one, works with the PS3 headset too) and it charges while the console is on. The cable I'm talking about is that one cable you have a thousand of and never find when you need it, like a camera cable, I don't remember the official designation for it.
As far as I can tell, and I haven't tried this extensively, it's not the bluetooth controller because it doesn't register as a bluetooth device on the console, but I think I remember reading somewhere the bluetooth ones work. You can probably get by with the cheapest controller for PS3, or just get the official one and be done with it. Works perfectly, but has to be plugged in AFAIK.

A2DP/wifi-np ps3 controller/wifi-problem

So I tested my prime when i got it for bluetooth/wifi issues by using a2dp on my jawbone icon and watching netflix. There was no problems as far as I could tell. I got a ps3 controller and got on onlive to play a game and realized a major wifi fall out. So I turned off bt and went into netflix, started up some Archer, turned on bt and connected ps3 controller, wifi degraded instantly and became unusable. Don't know if this has been reported as I have done a ton of reading and haven't come across this particular issue. Maybe its a bt profile issue.
I also just realized another strange issue. Does anyone elses dock act like you pressed "enter" when you actually presses "shift+b"? Here is it goes:
BBBBB
BBB
BBB
BB
after the first press it makes a capital b just fine but take your fingers off and do it again and it goes to the next line and no "B". weird.
I have the same problem with ps3 controller. So far its the only problem I have withmy prime. I love it and use it everday but it sucks because I also use oblige and hate having to plug the controller through usb. Hopefully there is a fix soon.

I guess I'm going to get a wireless xbox 360 controller, the one for pc that comes w a usb dongle or the universal onlive controller. The ps3 works fine with emulators, but I want one that works w onlive (xbox controller does). Just started checking out the onlive service and its actually pretty cool on a fast connection.

Joystick for car

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a simple bluetooth controller that has a few buttons on it so that I can switch through applications without touching the screen, e.g. from the back of a car.
I've seen some of the remotes such as this one here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluetooth...998795?hash=item41adef0c0b:g:fPcAAOSwFnFV-xHg
but I'm skeptical of the quality for that price.
Would appreciate any links you can share with me.
Cheers,
Andy
ive got the same controller, i use it to change songs/volume, play pause music, answer calls while driving, its super useful out of the car too.
it has a mouse mode if you want to be able to control it from the back seat, it can be frustrating as im not sure if it has a button assigned to switching apps
battery lasts long enough to not be a problem - charges fast enough too.
again this item is super useful to have around as its a game controller too etc. for the price you cant go wrong. check aliexpress (like ebay/amazon but stupidly cheap because everything is sold direct from china) out as they might have it cheaper or a different version of it
cheers, I already have a bluetooth audio control for the car but wanted one for cycling between apps etc. I think it would be too fidly to use it as a mouse while driving?
I picked up the 8bitdobzero Bluetooth controller. It came with a keychain adapter and it works great
Bought mine off AliExpress for $9 took about 2 weeks to deliver. Amazon has it for $17

MOGA Pivot and MOGA Pocket

Hi, so I got MOGA Pocket controller. At first I thought, yes, finally I can play games with better experience but then I realized than I didn't do enough research about this controller. At first I tried to pair it with MOGA Pivot app, it can't pass through Step 3 with method when you turn off your controller then hold PowerA button then turn on controller and try to pair it. It just shows Unable to locate MOGA Pocket. Than I found MOGA Universal Driver but it's pretty much useful with emulators but I don't play mutch with them, I want to play some Rockstar Games or games like Rush Rally 2. Like in Bully I can't even use my controller, in Rush Rally 2 I can only use my right analog stick. I guess all those problems are because of I'm not using official app. I'm on Android 7.1 using Xiaomi Mi5. Could you please help me?

Game Controller

Does anyone know of any decent game controllers for the 6T? I like the ones that fit around the phone and I've seen a couple of mentions of the Flydigi Wee over at Reddit, but I can't seem to find any in the UK. What do you guys use?
I don't have any that fit around the phone, but I have a few 8BitDo controllers. High quality, great battery life, and good feel.
I have one of them that I use on my shield. Was hoping for something a bit more portable tho, so you don't have to then hold the phone.
I've been using the steelseries status xl. Also bought the clip direct from them. Works great and holds the phone pretty securely.
I have a steelseries stratus xl but it lags on input when I comes to games. Now I just use my Xbox one controller that has Bluetooth and it's amazing.
I've decided to go for the Wee2T after watching a lot of reviews on it. It's coming from China so no idea when I'll receive it, but I'll post some pics when I have it.
OK...so I recieved the controller over the weekend and after some tinkering have got it working. The only issue I have is that with the latest version of the app I can't seem to remap the keys. There should be a pull out menu that overlays games, but this is missing. If I use an older version of the app then it seems to work fine. I'll take some pics tonight and post; the actual controller works really well.
I use the 8bitso zero keychain Bluetooth controller. It's on my keychain with my home and car keys and works perfectly for short bursts of snes or Genesis or tg16

Just buy a Bluetooth enabled Xbox one controller. Works just like console. I play fortnite on it with no input lag whatsoever.
Gamesir is the best you will find. All you have to do is decide if you like the Playstation or Xbox controller
The Gamevice for the Pixel phones works great with the 6T. Can't use it with a case though.
I play with Dualshock 4, it has the best analog accuracy compared to other bluetooth controller like gamesir and ipega (and also feels better when I hold it). It can run over Bluetooth and OTG cable. But you need some tinkering to fix the input lag on Bluetooth. But I always play on OTG cable since I want the connection to be more stable. I also use DOBE Dualshock 4 Mount to attach my phone to the Dualshock 4 so I can play anywhere anytime.
But can it play COD mobile ?

How did you go about fixing the lag?
I'm using DS4 controller with cheap phone holder that clips on dualshock. It works really good and this holder cost under 2 dollars.
xbox1 (the one with bluetooth) and a clip for 3$. Its rock solid
