Anyone tried fitting the phone on a telescopic controller? I'm looking at the gamesir x2 , which is similar to the Razer kishi, now both these controllers have a theoretical Max phone length of around 164mm, our phone being on the longer side is around 169mm, this however almost fits into the kishi without mods, anyone with any experience for the X2?

I have recently purchased an "OEM" Samsung MHL adapter. it functions as described and gives decent video quality and good audio however what they don`t tell you is that it will only output at 24hz! this means no matter how powerful your phone is it will always be limited to 24fps. this makes videos jittery especially sports and games lag like @#$%. This adapter is FAKE even if it has samsung on it. you can tell because the fake cable has the input cable in the middle. What you want to be buying is the legit Samsung adapter that outputs crystal clear 1080p video at 60hz (60fps) with great audio. it has the input cable offset to one side. Just a warining before people buy the wrong item.
good to know
Where did you buy it from?
Nice share, mate..
Did you used this for your 3vo?
I wanna know why don't you buy the adapter that provide by HTC? Few weeks ago I have a little chat with Htc customer service, and she said that htc are not recommend to use any attachments or accessories that they don't provide or provided by an unknown third party.. At the first time I was thought it was only their bloody marketing strategy.. But, later when I wanna buy a power bank for my 3vo my friend told me that he got a trouble when use it and it brick his blackberry battery like a hell.. So I think it make sense why did they suggested me to use an accessory which they provide and developed.. But a rough case is an exception, eh?

I don't think the adapter has anything to do with the framerate of the video. The adapter is literally just an adapter, taking the video signal from the 5 pin usb and outputting it to the hdmi port.
yes i did test it on my evo 3d on both stock rom and leedroid. actually the adapter itself can affect the quality because i have seen adapters that only output to 720p.
Who has a good one and where did you get it?
GO into a bit more detail on the differences between the good and the bad.
I got mine from an ATT store, or was it a T-Mo store..
Got mine from T-mo..and it works great.

in my case the bad adapter outputs to 1080p (more like 1080i) but the quality is a bit fuzzy with alot of jagged edges whilst the oem adapter produces actual 1080p full resolution and does not lag due to it supporting the full 60hz that the phone is capable of outputting. audio quality is about the same for each. it is not the hdmi cable i am using because i have used several including one that supports 3d @ 120hz.
How are you reading the 60 fps? I have 3 adapters, a monoprice and 2 no-name brand adapters - and all 3 report output of "1080/30P" on my LG TV.

Please post about the actual FPS - and how you're reading the 60fps. I'm concerned that you might be spreading misinformation. After reading this thread, I decided to buy an official Samsung MHL adapter - even though I now have 3 no-name adapters.
On my LG HDTV - all outputs report as 1080P/30FPS, at least coming out of the Evo 3D. I'll continue doing testing on all 4 adapters - so I can post a comparison thread in the accessories subforum. But for now - I see no reason that I'd want to spend $25 for the Samsung MHL adapter I just received, as opposed to the $6 EBAY special I already have.
Hi! I'm looking for advice for a bluetooth gamepad that could be coupled with a tablet as a mobile gaming platform to be connected to TVs. Simple right? Well, I'm picky. The Wii mote isn't a good controller for real games like shooters and racing sims, so its out. The Nyko Playpad seemed great at first, but it has terrible range ... anything over 10 feet from the tablet and the latency feels like its over 500ms. Years ago I played with the PS3 controllers, but at least then you had to use the Sixaxis app and it was ... not consistent enough (in that regard the Nyko controller is much better).
Does anyone know of one that is all around solid and offers the typical dual stick, 4 button gamepad, and is bluetooth?
Thanks.
I would like one as well, but was unable to find one to work on android and windows. I will say that you can hook up the classic controller to the wii mote and play like that. I did this with 2 players on my razr (when it was new) playing golden eye. It was really a pain squinting for that little screen but it worked really well with the classic controllers hooked to the wiimote.
hey,
i have a vr headset for my galaxy s5 and it works pretty well, but some games stutter and lag in places because i think the phone is struggling
it would be great if there were a headset that would suit our tablets because of the larger screen and more horsepower
but i have not been able to find one
is there one around for the shield tablet?
cheers

Man, don't you think using a tablet on your face is a little exaggerated? Plus, the Shield Tablet is so heavy you'd probably have a neck pain within 5 minutes of use lol
But anyway, I found this http://www.roadtovr.com/vr-viewer-7-inch-tablets-vr-headset-hmd/
And this https://www.durovis.com/product.html?id=5
These are made for 7 inch tablets, but I think they might fit a Sheid.
Alternatively, you could download the Google Cardboard Schemes and make them bigger while using the same size lens. But yeah, still think VR on a tablet isn't a good option. Still, good luck
I agree, shield tablet is too heavy to use for VR Headset, unless you are willing to suffer the consequences of discomfort and neckpain while using the device attached to your head ..
A solution to neckpain (though maybe not discomfort) could be lying on your back. A solution to both could be a gooseneck tablet holder. I have this one though I think this one would be better since the EasyAcc one bounces around like none other when the tablet or gooseneck gets bumped. None of these solutions are ideal though

You could counter balance it at least the weight would be equally distributed.
Hi,
I'm a Rift DK2 Owner since Aug 14, a Rift CV1 pre-order and into VR since over 2 years.
What I know so far about VR... forget it, that didn't work, never. The main problem alone is the low DPI of the Shield tablet. Use VR lenses and you could count the pixels that you see easily. The Samsung Galaxy S5, that you can use with GearVR, have a much higher DPI and is OLED, what is also much better for VR (low latency and low persistence is only possible with OLED). Only that it is a pentile and not a RGB OLED is a not so good...
The Shield is too big, so the 1200p display have a too low DPI and it is much too heavy. Too bad I can't weight it here, but when I put it on my hands I would say the Shield K1 weight more than my Rift DK2. ^^
That only thing that would be good for VR is the power of the shield, but that is useless without the right display and size of it. The shield have a 8" display, that is over 2" too big for VR (Rift DK2 have a Samsung Note 3 display, that have 5,7", your galaxy s5 have only 5,1").
But I must also say: actually mobile VR is only a gimmick compared to PC VR, the technology on mobile is by far not good enough for right VR experiences. The only really mobile VR experiences that is ok but still far away from PC is GearVR with one of the Samsung S6 models. But even that have no positional tracking, only headtracking and that is too less for real VR.

Nvidia Shield K1: 356g
Occulus Rift DK2: 380 grams ... make that 440g with the cable included
For some reason you seem to be using a hopelessly heavy VR headset and you still love it, curious.
Hi all. I don't post often, but was hoping someone with a V30 could chime in here.
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for pairing a bluetooth controller to this phone. I've read reviews on a bunch of different brands as well as a few old articles for pairing a PS3 controller (I already own) with varying results. My phone is completely stock. I plan on mainly playing PS1 games through FPSE, but also wouldn't mind being able to play other non-emulated games as well.
I've read this article on Android Authority and think its a good start, but was hoping other V30 owners here could share their experiences.
Thanks in advance.
I use xbox one controller just enable bluetooth and connect to it
8bitdo NES30 Pro is a fantastic quality and priced controller. Great phone mount attachment available as well. Performs great with the phone, have been using since my last Android
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have an XBOX controller, but I'm gonna give the 8bitdo controllers a chance. The one Yachter99 suggested looks awesome, but is a bit overkill for my current needs. Instead I ordered a 8bitdo Zero seen here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156IC8M8/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If it works well, I'll splurge for the 8bitdo NES30 Pro later on. With the clamp, how does it feel when mashing buttons? Does the display wobble much?
Gamesir x2 Pro supports upto 179mm Which is 5mm more than the height of Huawei Mate 20 x.
The reason I mention this over Glap controller is because it supports USB-C connection directly rather than Bluetooth.
I was wondering if anyone has bought it and tested it.
There is also Backbone One for Android which supports apparently up to 250mm give or take but a lot of people are reporting it to be flimsy with big phones and the Gamesir X2 Pro being superior product.
Backbone One also supports USB-C and has USB-C passthrough with headphone jack and internal DAC.
