Ok, so when I connect my PS3 controller with the sixaxis controller app, it works great! Fast response. I can play emulator games and even the Kwaak3 app runs flawlessly with it (after mapping keys). But here's the deal. Sometimes when I hook up the HDMI output, be it mirror or webtop, the PS3 controller has a second to a few seconds lag between each key press. If I fiddle with it, unplug HDMI and replug, sometimes I can get it to work fine. But most of the time, it will just lag. However, just unplugging HDMI with the app (emulator or whatever) still running and using the Bionic's screen, the sixaxis lag goes away instantly.
Can I do anything about this? Or is it just a glitch/bug with HDMI connections?

I just got Samsung's OEM 30 pin to usb adapter in the mail (yay!) to use with my USB controller for emulators. Sadly, I can't figure out how to get it to work. I have the Logitech F310 controller, and when I plug it in, my Tab does say "USB device connected." However, emulators aren't recognizing any button presses.
Also, the "mode" button on the controller doesn't light up when I push it. I'm wondering if either it's not supplying 5V of power to the controller or if I need some sort of app/driver for it. The adapter does work with my flash drive, though.

From my experience most emulators require a physical button press, even when I use my sixaxis controller I have to give each button a keyboard value (like R1 is actually like pressing 0 on keyboard) that's the only way the emulator knows you are pushing a button.... maybe there is a program to map your controller buttons to key values, back in the day I remember using a program in windows called joytokey that allowed me to use my usb computer joypad in dosbox, maybe you can dig around and see if there is an android equivalent for usb controllers... if not you can always use a wiimote or sixaxis, as long as you have a custom rom installed like CM7 (which I am running), they wont pair on stock rom because the bluetooth stack doesn't support them.
SGT+CM7=:-D
Stupid question but has anyone tried a a PS2 controller with an OTG cable?
Also, if I do have to buy a PS3 controller, do I need to buy a seperate cable to plug it into the OTG adaptor?
Tack!

Hey there,
I'm not sure if the ps2 controller will work as all I have in house is deh ps3. I don't see any reason why not tho. Can anyone confirm?
In regards to the cable' as long as you have the micro USB otg adapter, then you can attach a regular USB cable with the mini USB(more rectangular shape looking, or like the one that charges the PS2 remote)) to the otg adapter....

Edit: I found this in another thread....... looks like the PS2 controller will
Work.
In order for a controller to work in games on Anrdoid, the controller should be naively supported from the OS?
Also, the Sixaxis app, is this only required for PS3 controllers over bluetooth? What if I get a wired controller that is said to be supported for the PS3; would this require support via Sixaxis, or Android?
I have some store credit for Walmart, and I noticed these controllers:
Snakebyte Sb00344 PlayStation 3 Wired Controller - Black (PS3)
Snakebyte Sb00344 PlayStation 3 Wired Controller - Black (PS3)
POWER A PS3 Pro Elite Wireless Controller
The first one is a wired PS3 controller. The other two rely on a wireless signal over a USB adapter. Would any of these happen to work naively on Android? I'm not entirely sure how the first controller interacts with the PS3 exactly over USB, but perhaps when plugged into a computer, it would be detected as a normal controller, and work fine? The other two may have less of a chance at working, but idk...
Edit: A PS2 controller through a cheap PSX-to-USB hub from Radioshack back in 2002 seems to work fine mostly, except the right analog stick is mapped wrongly in Dead Trigger (left and right go up and down, up and down goes left and right).

Hey guys, just wanted to ask, my ps3 controller connects via otg, the lights power on, however I cannot play any games with it. I'm not rootedyetbso I can't use wireless connection.
Please check out the sixaxis app for PlayStation controller, endless customizing and I can walk anyone through it if needed

I know I can use six axis for wireless but I don't want that just yet. I'm asking for a wired connection via otg.

Anybody found a working solution how to play FPS l Iike Nova3 with mouse and keyboard? I have a usb-mouse and a Bt keyboard.
When i am using usb/bt joycenter actual 5.08 Nova always switch to Moga Controller settings and i can't control anything. When I am using external keyboard helper I can control the keyboard, but not the mouse. For aiming i need a mouse, I can't do it with a controller: )
Okay, got it! I always tried with Bluetooth keyboard, but never really succeed. Now I tried a usb keyboard (Cherry) together with usb mouse from Logitech (connected by a small passive hub from Belkin!) and it worked together with usb/bt joycenter actual 8.08 and nova 3 right of the box. Finally I can play FPS like on PC much more precise compared to a gamepad or stick.
How that's some help for some other gamblers out there
That seems very nice. I am going to try that!
Let me rephrase just in case, I'd like to run emulators on my HTC One, play them with a Moga Controller via bluetooth, and watch them on my tv via an HDMI cable. But can an hdmi cable transfer everything shown on screen like running emulators? I've read that it only works for watching movies and internet browsing.
If this is all possible, what kind of hdmi cable and adapter would I need? I know the One doesn't support micro-hdmi, only mhl. Any suggestions?

Yes MHL is what you need. I use one made by PNY. Make sure you give the adapter power through the micro usb port. From my adapter I use a standard HDMI cable to the TV.
I believe it just mirrors everything on your phone, unless the app is programmed to do differently (like not showing playback controls on external screen). I play Real Racing 3 and use Netflix and play music with MHL.
A few things, though: MHL selects resolutions based on what you TV reports. If your TV does 1080p, then MHL uses that but at a lower refresh rate (I think it's 24Hz). If your TV only does 720p, then MHL will use that but at higher refresh rate (30? not sure). I never found a way to manually set it.
Then there's also a bit of lag. So if MHL chooses 1080p and lower refresh rate, it could become quite difficult to play fast action games.
The dock running virtually all keys, except the other characters that appear exchanged or repeats the same character with the shift key, the function keys virtually all the mouse also works well. The function keys virtually all the work. In summary, conseguese work on dock. One problem encountered was when the tablet is connected by HDMI cable to TV does not transmit sound.
Tablet connected by HDMI TV does not sound on TV.
