I don't believe u can because you have to remember with pdanet u have to have it installed on the CPU and with wifi tether and easy tether they set up an adhoc network. But I haven't tested it on ps3

tethering will probably be too slow for that type of gaming anyways...

Any confirmed controllers that work with Nexus 7?
The PS3 controller will work for it.

But, does it require root? And does it connect through Bluetooth or USB?

I bought a ps3 controller but it refuses to urn on, even after a night of charging.
I don't own a ps3, yet I have heard that I need one to activate it. Any tips?

Pretty sure it won't work. Wireless 360 controllers do not send a signal through the USB charging cable. Only power. Same reason you can't use a wireless controller on the PC without buying the wireless transmitter thing that they don't make anymore.

Yup confirming this is correct. Didn't know they stopped making it, good thing I got one.

They still make the wireless transmitter but you need to buy the controller with it.
Not sure if I'm missing something here but I've picked up a USB OTG cable today. If I plug in my PS3 controller it just flashes, I don't seem to be be able to do anything. What am I doing wrong guys?
EDIT
Ignore that, working fine.

Do games natively support controllers, must they be mapped, or do you need an app of some kind to get it to work?

It depends on the game. Dead Trigger and GTA 3 have native gamepad support, but NOVA 3 doesnt.
Sixaxis was updated last night works amazing as always. And dead trigger has native support for sixaxis?

Try this mapping from the S3 for NOVA3. Let me know how it works for you.
I can't remember where I got it from but it works great on my S3. You might have to config for larger screen though.

Will my note link to my xbox360

Is there a way to have my xbox360 connect to my note. I would like to stream movies from phone to xbox360
No problem. Your x box is a dlna compatible device. As long as the file is playable using the stock player, you can stream to the xbox.
I have accidently sent photos to my son's 360 when I first used this phone. Did not know what the icon was in the gallery hit it and the next thing I know my son is yelling at me to quit sending things to him.

Is there a setting or something I need to turn on. Even when I open my photo gallery I don't see the icon to send to xbox360 or tv
Nope, if you are using the stock gallery, the icon is right on top when you open an image. It's the icon next to the 'share with' icon. Make sure your xbox and note are on the same wireless network and that you're not in a game.
Of so that's the problem..I have the xbox hardwired to router
They just need to be on the same network. It doesn't matter if one is hardwired and one is wireless. That is how my Xbox is setup and it works with it.

Both are are the same network. Here is what I try. xbox is on and connected to xbox live I open gallery on phone and I don't see the little icon to let me switch over.
Barnacle wireless tether worked great on my HTC. Try it out for root user's only
Be careful if you plug your phone into the xbox, mine grounded within and right now it is a brick. I tried it with my iPhone about a week ago. I think I plugged it in at the wrong time or something, I read it's an issue with the 360.

Barnacle works great with x box
Go to settings>connections and enable "Nearby devices" to share media over DLNA.
I remembered seeing tis option when I was first playing with my phone. I don't have any DLNA devices, aside from my Note 3, so I don't really no if this will fix your issue.
hope that helps.
Guess my xbox is screwed then. I open settings share with nearby devices and it does not find my box. My xbox is only few months old.

Have you checked the settings in your Xbox? Possible something is turned off in there. Don't no personally as I have never messed with my son's 360.

Chromecast over WiFi AP

I have a nexus 5 and use the WiFi tethering to run my Chromecast. I use another android device to operate it, and it works great, but something confused me...
I read somewhere that the device running a tethered network can't communicate with other devices on that network. It's just how android works. And its a bummer.
However I recently saw that I can cast from G+ photos on the device running the tethered network, my nexus. Also the new mirror feature sees Chromecast but won't connect. I was able to mirror pretty well at a friend's house using an actual router so I know this is a working feature.
So my question... Does anyone have an explanation to why my nexus can see my Chromecast from these apps? Netflix doesn't see it and the Chromecast setup app won't run at all when the WiFi is tethering. It would be something pretty incredible if it was some hidden thing we could unlock in those apps...
Eh?

Only the tethering app has access to the tether network...
All the other apps use the normal data connection....
Since they are not connected to the Tethering network they can not see the CCast.
it's possible, instead

Z3C Playing PS4

Can anyone clarify if the PS4 remote play feature is to be used only at home on the same wifi network as the PS4 or if it can be used anywhere with a fast enough connection such as 4G or a different wifi network say at a café?:
Thanks.:good:
I believe local network for now. Though remote play is in the pipeline for November I believe
Sony say that it's possible but it's not recommended.
