[Q] Xbox Controller does not work with my Android Device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i tried to connect my wireless Xbox 360 Controller over an OTG-wire with my Lenovo s6000l Tablet. The lights on my controller and wireless adapter show me that my controller is connected, but my tablet show me no reactions. The App BT/USB Joystick Center does not find the controller. I tried to download the Vendor files from another thread in this Forum and copied them on to my Device.
I even tried to connect my PSX-Controller (PS1) over an PSX to USB adapter with my device, but the buttuns had a bad configuration. The app Sixaxis Compatibility Checkers tells me that my controller is found when i click on Start but when i press Pair Controllers it says that he couldnt find any controller and i should connect one through USB.
After searching the Internet im still without any solutions. I hope you can help me and thank you.
Sry for my bad english

I FIGURED IT OUT FINALLY! If anyone has problems with their Android not working with otg devices. Once your rooted any of arter97 kernels will make any most any popular otg controller work with no modules or anything! It's great! So excited I've been trying to figure this out for a week now. I HAVE A ONEPLUS 7 PRO RUNNING ANDROID 10 OPEN BETA 8 with arter97 kernel. Works perfectly with Xbox 360 controller connected via otg thru the Xbox 360 witless reciever!!!! I have 16 Xbox one and 16 Xbox 360 controllers and otg is the only way to play 4 player GameCube and Wii emulator games on Android with dolphin emulators. niceroms.com has every game ever created for GameCube and Wii to download free

[Q] Which game pad is recommended?

Which game controller do you recommend? I'm mainly looking to use it on my tab for emulators and whatever android games are compatible with a controller.
I was looking at a sixaxis just because it looks like it can connect wirelessly with the app but I'd be willing to buy a USB connector and flash a kernel to make a controller compatible. Also I don't know if the dual shock 3 controller works with the sixaxis app. (I'm not sure if that's an entirely different thing)
I guess I'm mainly wondering which controller is most compatible, meaning full joy stick control and things like that.
Thanks if you can help me out!
I'm currently using my PS3 controller with the new Sixaxis App from the store. All you need is Root access and to pair your PS3 controller with a PC to tell it what your tablets Bluetooth MAC address is and it should work. I've been using it ever since with all my emulators and it works like it's supposed to.
There is also an app from the same dev to test if the controller works with your device but if its a GT 10.1 and a regular PS3 controller there shouldn't be an issue.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
If not I'm probably going to grab a sixaxis but I want to be sure I'm getting the best since I'm not tied down to a controller for a console I already own.
Thanks
There is already another Q & A thread started by me from a while ago where some people listed a few alternatives. Just search the Q & A forum or check the first few pages and you will find the thread. Since I already own a PS3 and the other controllers aren't that available in my country it was an easy choice for me. Hope that helps.

[Q] help with Bluetooth ps3 controler?

Hello, I'm wondering what I need to do to get my prime to connect w/ a ps3 controller via Bluetooth? Don't have the dock, but I want to connect via HDMI & use the ps3 controllers for my kid to play gta3 and similar games
I'm not rooted, but I'm comfortable rooting & unlocking boot loaders if necessary.If anyone has any advice, links, or apps to help me with this I'd appreciate it. I'm not a gamer but my kids are asking me to figure this out. I've checked a couple of vids on YouTube,but it seems most are using the USB port on the dock. I really don't have any other use for a dock, so if there's a way to do this without it, then I'll save some cash. Thanks all....
I recommend that you root and then use the Sixaxis controller app.
Sixaxis Controller App
The best thing about that is that you can make touch profiles so you can play all games with a gamepad.
The app works really good and there are guides on the devs homepage. Really easy to get it to work.
And have you used the search function? Did just a quick search on PS3 and look what i got
Asus Transformer Prime + PS3 Controller wirelessly without bluetooth enabled
Sony Branded PS3 Controller works wirelessly without root!
Is it possible to pair PS3 controller with no root and no USB/dock?
PS3 Controller & Transformer Prime
Sixaxis Update: Native Android Gamepad Support (over Bluetooth)!!!!
PS3 Controller to Prime
Google is your best friend when it comes to help and guides

prime +controllers little support please?

Hey guys, I am considering 2 buy a new controller for my prime. i currently have a PC wireless xbox 360 controller, for this to work on the prime i need 2 use the usb dongle given 2 me when i purchased the controller. also Something is wrong with the probably my tabs understanding of this controller as when i use it in gta or whatever it thinks that the joystick is looking upwards(this does not happen on my desktop). Was wondering if any1 else had that problem.
Also reasons for considering changing is that I do not understand how I can map keys on my controller. there is only 1 app available for this(for the xbox 360 controller) called joy something if im not mistaken. If any1 knows of a tutorial of this I would be great full if you share it with me.
What controller does the trick for you on android devices(any links to it?)
thanx in advance guys
PS(has any1 got to play asphalt 7 with a controller? love racing games)
i'm using a ps3 controller, works perfectly with all supported games .
With the sixaxis app, you also can configure mappings for non-controllergames like Modern Combat 3

i tried the ps3 controller(snatched it off a friend but i was annoyed that I had to use the stupid wire:/) anything else working with sixaxis but not being a ps3 controller(its also expensive to buy 1:/)
You dont need to use the wire if you pair your controller with your tablet.
Yes u even can connect a ps3 controller to your Tablet without using the usb port on the dock. But you need the mac adress of the controller.
Here is a "How to" connect Ps3 controller without usb via bluetooth:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503887
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!

Dropad A8 wired controllers?

I'm looking to buy a Dropad A8 tablet but need to know if anyone's used the USB/BT Joycentre App? Because I tried on my Mele A2000 media player but seems the USB host ports don't get recognised by the App, so if anyone has one please just install the USB/BT Joycentre test App free from the market and plug in a USB controller including PlayStation or Xbox and see if it detects it.

[Q] PS3 controller with Kindle HDX?

I see that Kindle Fire HDX now supports bluetooth controllers. I was wondering if anyone had tried using a PS3 wireless controller with it. Did it work? I know in the past you could use A Playstation 3 wireless bluetooth Sixaxis controller but you needed to have a rooted android device and run the sixaxis app. I'm wondering if there support is now out of the box or if you still need root to make this work.
Can't you try it?
I went ahead and tried with my PS3 controller and HDX 8.9" The HDX would not see the PS3 controller when I scanned for bluetooth devices so it looks like it won't work without root and the rest of the software needed.

You need to side load the six axis controller app then sync it to your ps3 controller I have done it on my phone, but havent tried yet on the HDX. If I have some time over the weekend I will try to set it up and see if it works.
Did that but I can not find where to enable sixaxis support under keyboard and language so yeah its still not useable becuase of the settings setup in Fire OS
I also do not have root becuase ADB is not working with my Kindle Fire HDX apparently
Edit: Ok managed to get root by using another PC but the sixaxis app does not see the controller still even with root and the IME set to Sixaxis Controller. I type the address that the Pair tool on PC gives me and it basically tells me no controller found.
I was basically following the steps on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779347
Same error here

Have you tried it using an OTG cable?
OTG does not work in general, so you will not have it connected anyway.
As for gamepad I have purchased nyko playpad pro and it is working.
