Hey guys, just picked up two of these for $12.97 each at my local gamestop local store:
http://www.amazon.com/Playpad-Andro...d=1417915533&sr=8-1&keywords=nyko+playpad+pro
They work great with asphalt, Mupen64 and everything I've thrown at them, nice controllers imho, check them out. The hell with paying $40 for controllers, these babies rock.

yes, got two paired, have not tried multiplayer yet, but both work just fine
You forgot to mention it has a mouse function built in! Easier to map buttons without adding a mouse and otg cable!!

So I got it paired but I can't get the controller to work for the games. The buttons don't do what they are supposed to. Is there way to adjust it? I'm using it in app mode

Switch to hid mode, some apps allowu to rebind keys, there is an app from the manufacturer called nyko playground that could possibly be sideloaded
Can't Pair
I bought two from Amazon and can't pair either. I unboxed one and left it charging for almost a day (overnight + during work) and the lights were cycling before I pulled it off the charger. The manual or FAQ on the site didn't offer a fix so I started hitting random buttons and.....the lights went off but I couldn't get them to come back on until I put it back on the charger then the same light cycling began. I poked around on the site and found a firmware update. I updated the firmware and I still have the same pattern. I realized during the firmware updating process that the light cycling is update mode which should require pressing UP + A + Reset, which I definitely did not do prior to upgrading. That night I charged the other for a full day (overnight + during work) and I immediately encountered the same pattern. I'll probably return them in two days unless someone posts a solution. :crying:

Did you get a chance to try it? I read online (amazon reviews) that the 2nd controller pairs but they can't seem to get the second Nyko Playpad to go into two player mode (MAME).
I love this controller and for $12.67 it is a nice deal. I don't want to get a second one if it doesn't work for 2 players.
Did you ever figure out this controller? Had the same issue but I figured it out and its not as clear cut as the directions state so if you need help just reply or send me a pm and I will walk you through how to get the controller to work.

I just received mine and I'm having the same issue as above. Any chance you could help?
To update firmware or not? Might want to read this first
Hi all,
tl:dr / summary - Some Nyko Playpad Pros have issues with charging or arriving in update mode (cycling all lights when charging). Updating the Nyko Playpad Pro firmware sometimes fixes the issue, sometime not. Even if you get a good one, you may not want to update the firmware anyway.
I've been looking for an active forum to post this info in and get help from. Reddit didn't seem to have any good threads dedicated to the Nyko Playpad Pro, and Nyko's website is pretty much useless.
Here's my story. I bought one Playpad Pro from Amazon and when it arrived I read the sticker that said to charge it for an hour minimum before use. I have plenty of micro-USB chargers so instead of using the included one I charged it via my phone cable. As soon as I plugged it in all the lights on the controller started cycling. I hadn't read the directions yet so I didn't know this was odd. Went back and read the instructions and decided to use the included charging cable. Did that and the cycling stopped so I let it charge.
After it was done charging (light was blinking) I tried to turn it on via the home button and it would light up while I held the button down, but as soon as I released it all the lights would go dark. If I connected it to the charger I could get it to turn on and stay on, but that was unacceptable.
Eventually I ran across some information about updating the firmware via PC so I tried that (did the whole UP + A + Reset thing to get into update mode) but it didn't fix the issue, so I returned it to Amazon.
I read a bunch of reviews on Amazon and there were a ton of complaints about units being DOA like mine. I liked the price of the Playpad Pro compared to others, though, and saw that those who got a good controller were very happy with it, so I decided to play the odds and ordered 3 more of them from Amazon, figuring I could return the ones that don't work or I don't need.
I got those 3 controllers earlier this week and I've only opened 2 of them because both of them are working. Both of them would pair with my Nexus 7 (2012) and Moto X (1st gen) out of the box, however they wouldn't connect again after cycling them off then on. I'd have to re-pair each controller each time I turned it on. And, the Nyko Playground app wouldn't recognize them to update the firmware (I eventually read elsewhere that you need an Android 4.1 device to run the firmware upgrade via Android). So instead I updated one of the controllers via the PC updater. The Nyko Playground app would then recognize the controller ("Controller Synced" displayed in green at the top-right of the app and allow me to update the firmware in the app). This solved the pairing issue, but I noticed that android recognized the controller differently after the update. In the BT settings the updated controller displayed with a keyboard icon, while the non-updated controller had a joystick icon.
The keyboard vs. joystick difference wouldn't be relevant until I started trying to use each controller in RetroArch. Even though performance was fine for the updated (keyboard icon) controller in the Android OS and other games, in RetroArch I experienced a significant lag/delay after pressing a button. Furthermore, the updated controller's left thumb-stick would not translate to D-pad movements. On the other hand, the non-updated controller (joystick icon, requires re-pairing at each power on) did not experience any lag within RetroArch, and the left thumb-stick could be used in place of the D-pad.
I'm pretty new to RetroArch so maybe there is a setting I could change to fix the lag and left thumb-stick issues? Or maybe there's a way I can have Android treat the updated controller as a joystick/gamepad instead of a keyboard? For now I'm jumping through the hoops of re-pairing the non-updated controller each time I power it on. Other than that the controller is great.

I bought two of these controllers from local gamestops for $13 bucks. their phasing them out. both do not work unless connected to a power supply. it seems they are so old that their batteries do not charge. some do not charge at all. I returned two of them. I would recommend staying away from these old controllers as I don't believe they have a long life expectancy. Just saying.
My playpad pro would not hold a charge and would only work if connected to a usb power supply. I decided to try an upgrade.
There is a firmware updater app in the playstore but it specifically says it can only be used on android 4.3. I uninstalled and found that the "nyko playground" app in the app store was for doing upgrades on all other andoroid os's not 4.3
I was able to get the firmware updated. Here is how I did it. ( iwas not able to confirm the update, just that it said it completed)
Select "controller setting on bottom switch of joystick. not mouse, not icad, and not app
I connected it to my rooted firetv. I physically connected to a hub connected to the usb port on the firetv. I also connected it via bluetooth to the firetv. I uninstalled "nyko firmware updated" and installed "nyko playground" I selected sync. I then used a mouse to select the IME and checked off the "nyko playpad" it then asked me to select a android or pc. I chose android. I selected updated. it took a minute. it said successful. it then asked me to unpair the device and disconnect from back to firetv and connect to separated powere\ supply. and then "bluetooth re-pair" the device.
we will see the device holds a charge now.

For me the firmware update did not help. My controller would power on with the home button held down, but power off as soon as I released the home button. The battery obviously had some sort of charge since the light on the face of the controller would light up, but maybe it wasn't enough output to actually keep working.
It sounds like your controller is similar but exhibiting slightly different behavior, do maybe it will work. Please post an update when you have one.
Good luck!

I purchased the 89529N Motorola Navigation dock and for some reason it's not recognizing my Droid Razr.
I watched several videos on youtube and it showed the Razr entering car mode as soon as placed into the dock and the sliding micro-USB plug inserted.
While my droid recognizes that it's charging, it doesn't enter Car Mode, does not launch the Motorola Car Finder app upon removal nor does it output audio via the USB-Audio Cable.
I've spent some time looking to see if other people are having this issue and the only other report I've found is a review on the product via Amazon:
amazon.com/Motorola-89525N-Vehicle-Navigation-Charger/product-reviews/B005W8NLG0/ref=cm_cr_pr_hist_1?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&filterBy=addOneStar
I have now gone through 3 of these docking stations. I WANT it to work but after the phone snaps into the mount (nicely managed) there is a squared black slider that has the male USB end that is supposed to slide into the top of the phone's USB port. This connection was flaky in the first two units i purchased and i ended up needing to slide a business card in behind the phone to put enough pressure to cause the phone Car App to start and for the port to think it had a power cable inserted...
The business card approach finally quit working this morning (11.21.2011) so I took the unit into a local Verizon Store and showed them. This happened with 3 RAZR phones from the store so it was not the phone. I then ended up going through 3 of the car dock boxes and the first two ALSO had this problem. The third unit worked but i had to push the black slider back a tad to put some positive pressure on it before it will slide into the phones USB port...
I need this thing to work. I want the Car Nav App to start and for the phone to charge... Verizon, you need to take a look at the design of this device. The quality of it seems fine. It is sturdy and mounts wonderfully but the slider idea seems to be a problem.

So, does anyone else with this dock have the same problem?
I had the same issue with mine. It worked for the first few days then it tanked. Returned to Verizon for another unit. This one has been working for the past.
Check the RAZR forums on the Motorola support site and there are several other folks that have been experiencing the same issue.
No problems at all with the car dock. I use it daily and it has always worked as advertised.
How long is the power cable the comes with the version of the car dock that comes with a power cable?
If it's not super long I may just buy the cheaper version of the dock.
I had the same problems with my first dock. I returned it and got another and so far so good. A couple of times it's failed to recognize the phone, but sliding out the usb and putting it back usually fixes it.
I bought the car dock and so far it works perfect. I drove about 1100 miles over the holidays, and it worked perfectly the entire trip with a CHEAP generic micro USB cable and CHEAP generic car charger from monoprice.com Phone was running GPS and nav the whole time and I was impressed that it never got hot or too warm (just EVER SO SLIGHTLY warm. My old HTC Incredible would get hot as hell running GPS for several hours)

I did have the problem when I first received the dock. After studying the dock I realized the bottom plate can be removed. I did just that and the holder works great. Can even use it with the protection case.
I've also had my car dock for some time now and have been using it with a commuter series OtterBox. I've seen no problems with it, in fact while running Google navigation since the new update I've not seen any substantial overheating issues at all. Overall I'm very pleased with its operation. It is a little disconcerting to hear several of you have had problems with it.
I have not had any issues with this dock. The HD dock, yes but so far I love this navigation dock over the one my Thunderbolt and Original Moto Droid had. However, where do you people find this USB/Audio cable? I purchased the mount right from verizon and it did not come with it. Can't seem to find the cable anywhere either.

It doesn't have a picture and the description makes it sound like a basic usb cable that's really expensive, but I ordered it for the same reason you are and I can assure you that it is a basic USB cable that's really expensive... with the audio dongle on the end. At $20 it's a bit of a rip-off, but it's what you need.
mine works like a champ, it gets used on a daily basis.

You can add an app of your choice on the "Music" page of the Navigation app.
Thanks found it! i hope Moto will update the Car Dock so you can choose your own software
I don't have my Razr yet to test this, but try the Car Home Ultra app. It's fully customizable and can be launched by the dock.

I've had my car dock now for about a month, and it works like a charm for me. Car Home Ultra is a great app and you can add a bunch of different apps to it's home screen so you can set it up the way you want.
I have 2 car docks it use to work on both now it doesn't work on either of them, ever since i re flashed using 9.8.2O-124_SPUL-18_Rogers_P005_A006_S1FF_fb_CFC.xml.

Have you tried rebooting. A lot of people have found that after attaching stuff to the dock for the first time it didn't work, but they rebooted it and it worked for them. Something about the dock did an update.
Thanx for that info but i have tried rebooting several times with the dock and USB connected and without the USB connected. But what explains the reason for my ps3 controller not working? ( My dock version is " TF201-DOCK-0206 " ----if that helps at all. )
That's what mine is at and I use my PS3 controller just fine. Have you tried hitting the center button on the controller. I know I was having problems as well until I hit that button. You know it works if the screen that you are on goes back to the home screen.
OMW!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ARE THE CHANCES.....!!! while i was replying i decided to plug my external and it worked!!!! my ps3 controller too!!!! Ive been trying this whole day to get them to work and out of the blue they work lol! thanx again for all for help anyway!!
No problem. Hopefully this helps others out as well.
I just bought an official Dualshock Pro PS3 controller and it just does not work on my prime. Right now I want to use it with usb port, not bluetooth (that would be the next step).
I installed the controller on my PC to check it's working. My usb ports are also working since I can plug USB keys. I am using ICS update.
When I plug the controller, the only thing I can do is press the power button to leave current app and go back to home menu. Nothing else works. When I press the power button the 4 lights all blink fast for 20sec and then nothing.
I looked at many threads here and on other forums but I cannot find a solution for my problem.
Please help me.
I'm not using the dock but i'am using the asus usb adapter. All I did to get it woking was turned on the bt on the prime pluged the ps3 controller into the usb adapter and pressed the power button. Give a sec and it should pair. Been using my ps3 controller with shadow gun with no problems at all. The game even lets you assign your buttons to the controller. Hope this helps

I also did that. I pressed the power button, the 4 flash lights blinks fastly for 20s. Then I can see the pad connected in bluetooth but after 20s the flashlights turn themselves off, the pad disconnects from bluetooth.
I assume that my problem is not related to bluetooth, so right now if it works with USB I will be glad!
I did the same as hungrybear and it works great, have you tried to check that the control works with a ps3? Maybe it can get recognized on a computer but not fully functional.
Errrrrmmm, what about charging it from the pc for a good while?
Plug in, turn on, turn on Bluetooth, unplug. Now every time you turn it on, it will pair with prime (BT icon will become blue). I don't think there is enough power coming from docks USB to charge it. You can't do much with it on home screens, just launch an app or so. Use left stick to navigate, but its a pain in the bottom. Some games will work with it, some won't.
Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.
Finally, I bought a new ps3 controller and it's working great now.
I don't know what happened with the other one, I bought it very cheap on Ebay, the looking and plastic case was exactly the same. Maybe a fake sony gamepad I don't know...
I bought a Viewsonic g tablet on sale a year and a half ago and until this day it meets the light. (It was only touched when purchased then back to the box)
I followed the instructions to the letter (new on this) and everything seems to be working, I have a Malata zpad dock DS-A002 supposed to be fully compatible with the g tablet and I placed the tablet on the dock, connected HDMI in the TV but nothing happens.
Don't see an option in settings to select output to TV.
Many thanks in advance.
Forgot to mention, tried this on the TV which is an LG and monitor which is a Hanns-G
I have to say that this is a first so far. When I read this I went ahead a connected up my dock which is the same make and model as yours to my TV and it works. HDMI is sometimes a pain especially with the newer TV's that are out. You also got to have the dock powered up if you haven't done that. If the power cord is connected and the tablet displays the dock clock then connect the HDMI to the dock with the TV turned off. After connection is made turn on the set and make sure you are on the proper input. It should work, but if not try a different TV.

The LCD TV is a couple of years old, the LCD monitor is 3ish years old
My mother has a 5yr old LCD TV, that's another TV I could test on
The dock is powered up using the charger that came with the gTab
The tablet displays the dock clock when placed on the dock
I've tried different combinations:
Dock powered up, TV off and plugin cable, gtab on then place on dock, turn TV on
Dock powered up, TV off and plugin cable, gtab off then place on dock and power on, turn TV on when gtab is on the dock clock
Dock powered up, TV on and plugin cable, gtab on then place on dock
Dock powered up, TV on and plugin cable, gtab off then place on dock and power on
TV detects HDMI when the gtab is placed on the dock, but after 3-5 secs says no signal meaning it does detect HDMI (shows up as an option, I've tried on all 3 HDMI inputs btw) but it doesn't show up an image.
I've tried these methods in the TV and the monitor, nothing
Doesn't make sense to me since everyone in the thread hasn't had this issue, should be plug-and-play right?

Should I backup the current install and go back to the stock crappy ROM just to test it out? (Wipe everything as instructed before doing so?)
Thanks
No since in going all the way back to stock to test it out. Have you by chance tried a different HDMI cable. You might have a faulty connection or even a dirty connection will make it loose its connection. You may also want to check to see if the TV has a default native setting set. The gtablet will display a image like a PC I believe. Will have to connect it up again to see what res. the device puts out at default.
Alright find the link up solution. I tried different ways of connection all with failure to display on my TV with the exception of this. Try it and you will be satisfied.
1st. Place you dock near your TV with power cord and HDMI cable both connected. Don't connect other end of HDMI cable to TV just yet.
2nd. Have tablet turned on and fully booted up. Then place tablet on dock and leave the dock clock displayed.
3rd. Turn on TV and set the input to the HDMI connection you are about to connect to. Then connect HDMI to that input that is in TV and the display should reflect the device.
Let me know if this works. Thanks.

I couldn't find a default native setting on the TV.
Really sucks that there is an awesome ROM for the gtablet and I can't use it on the bigger screen, intention was to watch Netflix and movies, besides reading
The tablet is one of those projects that never happened and when I finally manage to get it going this happens...:crying:

I keep mine at 160dpi. The issue is that you have to connect everything to the dock before connecting it up to the TV. For some strange reason the dock settings doesn't recognize the connections being made. The dock works fine it is the drivers I believe that are kernel related. If you power up the dock with the HDMI connected to it, then place tablet on the dock, then connect the HDMI to the TV's input with the TV on and turned to that input. Then it should display onto the TV without issues. Done this multiple times when this came up and this was the only way for me to get the dock to display the output of the tablet.

I'm going to try a fresh SmoOth install and see how it goes or is there any way to check the drivers or make adjustments to it?
Thanks
Any advice on checking the drivers?
Thanks
Actually the drivers are there and working the way they are suppose to be. I do believe that it might in the way it is communicating with the TV still. I am currently working on something that might help out, but I want to test it fully before suggesting it since most everyone doesn't use this feature.

It is really odd that doing the same process on the stock rom works.

Curious if anyone found a solution to this problem? I too have the exact same issue with my Gtab even after trying the solution posted with different cables and such. Stock rom works fine though.
I'm wondering if Nobe found something

I purchased the Dock version 2 to use my new Rog 3 and have nothing but problems while docked. I only purchased to basically play games and had asus professional dock 1st. Worked 100% with Galaxy S9+ and Galaxytab S6. No matter what I tried wouldn't accept LAN cable signal or Video output at same time? I researched the Dock II a little and seemed like exactly what I needed but same issue and couldn't use my Asus zenscreen mb16ac period to play games. Would reboot game and send message to screen saying Dp ALT mode isn't supported by the device (phone desktop dock II) & go to asus.com to download display driver. Well the Dock II according to asus support site runs on chrome OS and is no drivers or anything available for download that chrome OS automatically updates. Display link app allowed me to to perform basic functions on the zenscreen with Dock II but not start online applications. Asus support people had no answers or solutions for Android OS to fix this problem even though it clearly states on Asus.com that Zenscreen MB16AC is fully compatible with Rog Phone 3 and it is just not with Dock II! I have since returned the Zenscreen MB16AC and Asus professional dock to get my my $400 back! I've had nothing but problems with Asus peripherals with Asus phone? I have cheap type c portable monitor that runs perfectly without the first driver or app and several other type c hubs and docks of various price ranges and features which all work 100% also. I am really disappointed in my experience with Asus as this is first few Asus products I've owned. I'm waiting to hear back from asus support to get solutions to Ethernet port and video output I'm conjunction with each other. As of now I use a Ethernet to USB 3.0 adapter plugged into Dock II and Display port to type c cable to play games with Display with a solid internet connection and have to use Flydigi Apex controller and application to use key mapping features!? Same things (actually more via Ethernet adapter) with my Samsung phone and tablet wtf!? I bought this basically to be a mini console for Android games and emulators as it's advertising to be with it's outrageously priced peripherals! Unfortunately none of it's came to fruition and I needed a new phone period or I would and still thinking about getting rid of this and buy a Galaxy note 20 which have same cpu/gpu and is in my past experiences with other devices Plug and Play with anything and everything! I am even more pissed about Kunai 3 gamepad? This thing is a mystery? I purchased one on Aliexpress 2 months ago and still not" in stock" and just got refunded. Purchased one 2 days ago from reputable seller on eBay that said had 2 of them and be delivered by Sept 16th and was told this morning that be at least another month before it's "in stock" and getting a refund. Asus website has no official release date or have it even listed as item for sale on their website where I bought Dock II and Zenscreen!? I want to be able to use key mapping built into the phone with Armoury crate/ Game genie which is main reason for buying the Rog Phone 3. Asus says it supports key mapping for the Kunai gamepad 1 and 2 but won't actually clip to the Phone as this one slightly bigger ?. If I'm going to spend $150 - $200 I want capability to use it in all configurations. So if anyone has a solution to my problems with Dock II and Ethernet and DP Alt like link to drivers or something PLEASE LMK! And anyone who is considering purchasing the Asus Rog Phone 3 do some research and with caution if you want it to play games with external display and use all it's key mapping with controller and keyboard and mouse features show up but don't use so haven't tested it as actually being functional. Says that a few 3rd party controllers are supported but defeats the purpose for me as the actual games recognizes the controllers and KB&M which ISN'T what I want. So I'm stuck using aggravating Panda keymapper which requires you to run ADB Debugging from a computer which randomly deactivates and has to be done upon every reboot of phone or cheap feeling Mobile controller like my Flydigi Apex with their keymapper app running in background eating up more ram and unreliable BT connection! So again if anyone has a solution and anyone has a answer about Kunai 3 and where to actually purchase now without paying $300 please comment or message me here I will dance at you wedding!

I purchased the Dock version 2 to use my new Rog 3 and have nothing but problems while docked. I only purchased to basically play games and had asus professional dock 1st. Worked 100% with Galaxy S9+ and Galaxytab S6. No matter what I tried wouldn't accept LAN cable signal or Video output at same time? I researched the Dock II a little and seemed like exactly what I needed but same issue and couldn't use my Asus zenscreen mb16ac period to play games. Would reboot game and send message to screen saying Dp ALT mode isn't supported by the device (phone desktop dock II) & go to asus.com to download display driver. Well the Dock II according to asus support site runs on chrome OS and is no drivers or anything available for download that chrome OS automatically updates. Display link app allowed me to to perform basic functions on the zenscreen with Dock II but not start online applications. Asus support people had no answers or solutions for Android OS to fix this problem even though it clearly states on Asus.com that Zenscreen MB16AC is fully compatible with Rog Phone 3 and it is just not with Dock II! I have since returned the Zenscreen MB16AC and Asus professional dock to get my my $400 back! I've had nothing but problems with Asus peripherals with Asus phone? I have cheap type c portable monitor that runs perfectly without the first driver or app and several other type c hubs and docks of various price ranges and features which all work 100% also. I am really disappointed in my experience with Asus as this is first few Asus products I've owned.

I dont know why all user always says that problem here problem there problem all the time.
Long story short you didnt know how to configure you just wasting your money.. As for me its all work and i'm playing with Asus DOCK V1 it since i received my ROG 3 last month.
Because ppl need to be informed about all the BS and unfortunate its not short. Exactly what this is for

And I'm playing mine. Its not correct. Asus doesn't even have the answer. Configuration is not the problem its compatibility and i get a apology ? how sweet of asus. I posted because I know they are actually people who have ways around the crap. Sorry for posting the truth about dock 2. Happy as a punk n a dic tree yours is fully operational my man. All the best
Good evening mate, I'm sorry for your bad experience. I'm using mobile Dock 3 with Rog XG17 external monitor, claymore keyboard glaudis mouse and delta headphones everything working good and completely plug and play. The only thing is that on heavy games the phone overheats (tonight I got 50°c on cod mobile max settings) and I can't turn off the phone monitor while I'm using external.

Hello mate, did you On the XMODE? bcoz you dont need to. XMODE is useless in gaming COD or PUBG bcoz our phone is already fast so you dont need to turn on XMODE i played with dock since my ROG 1 and XMODE OFF. Also i put a Mini Fan external usb FAN towards the Phone Screens. my average temp is 35 below.
Hello, does anyone knows if there is a way to use a not original docking station?
I purchased a baseus one on Ali express (founded cheap for 10€).
I knew that I couldn't use the original desktop mode, but I thought that I could use another app to have tesktop mode. I was wrong: connected to my TV in the living room, connected the power supply and when I insert the rogphone 3 on the port (doesn't matter if the lower one or the sided one) it just play the sound of the recognised peripherial and nothing more, it neither charge the battery.
Any suggestion?
Edit:
I'm just stupid: I wasn't using a charger with enough output
