I seen a few posts where people have managed to sync their ps3 controller with the six axis controller app. For the live of me I tried a few builds of Android and none of them allow me to sync the controller to bluetooth. At this point for those who got it to work or use it frequently, what version of your rom are you using? Do you know any app that allows you to change bluetooth mac address on the android device or Touchpad Rom? Let me know because I have troubleshooting steps that I need to try that require me to change the bluetooth mac address on the hp touchpad but all the instructions I have found have not helped me because the folder structure described is not consistent with what is in my folder. I thank you ahead all of you ahead of time because I value your help, and I apologize if I have missed something during my extensive research.
HP TOUCHPAD
version of android: update-cm-10.1-20131121-SNAPSHOT-BLUETOOTH-tenderloin 4.2.2
Bluetooth turns on and it works just fine with this version.
All troubleshooting was done per dev website.
Tool was downloaded into PC, uploaded mac of hp touchpad and nothing.
Synced bluetooth devices already with no problem with this rom in the touchpad.
PS3 (sony branded) controller still not pairing.
If it works for you what version of the rom you have?

Hello,
some weeks ago I have this discovered this mini-keyboard, which you can link to the PC via bluetooth and use as a keyboard and mouse:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=us,en
http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj0MF58-ElA
My first impression when I saw it, it was that this device looks similar to my TyTn 2, especially when the PDA has the keyboard open...
So, this is exactly my question. Exists any kind of software for my PDA that allows to link the keyboard of the TyTn to the PC and, for example, use its touch-screen as a mouse?
Thanks
very interesting i would also be very interested in this as well...
That is a pretty good idea. I got a freee BT keyboard from amazon though.
yea there is, but it uses wifi. I can't remember the name of it now, but I think it was posted already. I will look when I get home.

Last week I begun developing/experimenting on such an app, to use the kaiser as a bluetooth HID mouse.
I did manage to get windows to recognize and install it as a HID mouse, but could not establish a connection. The problem is that the M$ bluetooth stack does not seem to allow me to attach to the L2CAP layer and implement my custom profile (the HID profile in this case).
If anyone has more information on how to access the L2CAP, please share .
The kaiser would be a wonderful remote mouse/keyboard for my htpc configuration!

I can't seem to pair my Touch Diamond with my MacBook Pro running 10.5, they can't see each other via bluetooth at all no matter which side initial the search. I wonder if there is anyone came across the same situation and have a solution or any ideas what may went wrong.
I have tried with the original stock rom and two different cooked rom, still no luck...
which sync software do you use on OS X ... i'm using "the missing sync 4.0.3" ... everything works fine
I just want to pair them with bluetooth and use PAN to use my data connection.
Any idea?
Do you want to use the data connection of your Mac? I only was able to use the data connection of my diamond via Bleutooth-PAN. The other way around seems to have an issue.
I have posted this question also to the discussion forum at apple.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7632465#7632465
About pairing both (Mac and Diamon) this works for me (MBPro OS X 10.5.4). Have you enabled the "visibility" of both devices during pairing?
Hi,
Its possible to use the Diamond as an internet modem with OSX.
I had tried to get this to work for the last couple of weeks.
It really depends on your bluetooth dongle. I had success with Cambridge Silicon based chipsets. I had a Belkin one and another generic one which didn't work.
You need to pair it from within OSX. You'll know its successful when it displays an option for joining bluetooth PAN after pairing. You'll have an option to "Join Network" under the paired device submenu in the OSX Bluetooth menu.
Once its done, all you need to do is start ICS on ur Diamond and select Bluetooth PAN, than Connect. After that, select "Join Network" on ur Mac and off you go!.
You can also connect the diamond to the USB port for power.
I tried USBModem which didnt work.
My laptop is an Acer 5570 hackintosh. Hope this helps.

Probably a stupid question but have you ticked the box on the Diamond that says "Make this device visible to other devices"?
It can be found under Communications - Settings menu - Bluetooth
and it's on the Mode tab.
I want to use my ICS via PAN, and I can't pair my Diamond with my MacBook Pro with bluetooth, they can't see each other no matter which side I initial the search and I am sure both of them have turned on the discoverable option....
I can pair my diamond with my iMac ONLY if I disable TF3D!
I use Eltima SyncMate (epert edition) to sync and it's working great.
Only if I leave TF3D on the driver on the diamond will crash.
Luckely it's quite simple to disable TF3D n a few clicks.
(Start>settings>home>unselect TF3D>[OK])
Eltima has updated their drivers.
It works now:
Syncing (folders, contacts, mail etc etc) while TF3D is running
There are a few solutions available in case you have not already solved the problem:
The free part of SyncMate works well for contacts and calendar and supports internet sharing
http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/SyncMate-Download-28111.html
I am running OS X on Dell 1525 with Bluetooth Internet sharing with HTC Diamond, and syncing contacts and calendar with SyncMate with USB Bluetooth as a matter of routine.
I am currently running SlimBean 4.2.2, build JDQ39E.
Been trying unsuccessfully to sync my PS3's wireless controller to my phone, and none of the apps I have tried have worked.
Does anyone know one that does, or if there is another ROM that supports PS3 controllers, specifically?
Thanks for any assistance.

Its not the ROM I believe the phones hardware is not supportive.
I thought that MIGHT be the case, too, but I figured if anyone knew a workaround, it would be this community. I can get it to recognize my PS3 controller, but it refuses to sync.
I'd think that as long as it accepted any old Bluetooth connection, that I should be able to sync almost any Bluetooth device. Meh.

It might connect but were not running the latest drivers like the most high end devices
I'm trying to use this app Game Controller 2 Touch which says it is compatible with dualshock 4 and nook hd+, but it doesn't work with just ime and I haven't been able to get any support from the developer. The touch emulation works, but I want to just use the controller on emulators. Just pairing with bluetooth normally works, but there is a huge delay so I wanted to try this app since it says it stops the input lag. Can anyone else try the demo version to see if they can get it to work or know of any other ways to connect lag free with bluetooth?

Tested the free version. My findings:
The app will work with the PS3 controller via cable following exactly the instructions in config -> help section.
However, I believe bluetooth, ps3 controller, and the nook hd+ never worked before and it seems like this app does not do anything different there. Also...
It states, "A Game Controller i.e. Any Gamepad/Joystick which can be paired via Bluetooth or Connected through OTG to the Device". Nothing about being able to do bluetooth on the nook hd+ with the ps3 controller.
So I could be wrong but the only advantage of this app appears to be (in my brief test) that it can be used to assign buttons to touch only games - which also appears to be a rather horrible do-it-yourself button assign to touch areas on the screen thing.
If I'm wrong on both of those then its worth it to me, otherwise not.

Well there is a list of tested devices and nook hd+ is one of them, but he does not say how he tested it. It could be that it is just tested with an OTG cable. Is it common for even the PS3 controller to have input lag through bluetooth? If so I will just do the workaround for OTG if that is the only way to get decent input

Someone else might know about it via Bluetooth. I definitely don't know as its never been working for me.
---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------
It looks like he says his app doesn't do Bluetooth connections? That is, the controller must be enabled via bluetooth outside of the app -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47224131&postcount=31
In any case, I think before people couldn't get Bluetooth and the ps3 controller working via the mentioned app with the nook hd+ anyway. So unless that changed...
This review is found for the sixaxis app on Jan 21 2014 "Controller does not connect with CM10.1 on a Nook HD+ I'm able to write the master address to the controller using the app, however, the controller cannot connect wirelessly. Looking around on the internet, I don't seem to be the only person with this issue. It'd be fantastic if this could be fixed. Till then, two stars. "
So thinking bluetooth is still a no go.
I'm having a strange problem. I recently bought an USB OTG cable to use my PS3 controller on my Moto G.
The phone is rooted, but the stock 5.0.2 ROM (22.26.1.titan_retde.redeall.en.DE retde) hasn't been altered otherwise.
So, when I plug in the PS3 controller via the USB OTG cable, the controller immediately starts charging (slow blink of all 4 leds), but I can't do anything else. I though Android was supposed to support the PS3 controller out of the box?
I tested the cable, it works fine. I connected my Kingston 16GB flash drive, it was automatically mounted and I could access it with Root Explorer.
I also tried the PS3 controller and cable with my Samsung Galaxy S4 (stock android 4.4.2, unrooted) - the controller works perfectly. A Logitech RumblePad 2 which I had lying around also works like a charm on the S4, but doesn't do anything on the Moto G.
So the problem has to be either the Moto G itself or (probably) Android Lollipop.
Did anybody else have a similar problem? Can anybody help me?
P.S.: I don't want to use the PS3 controller over BT, reason for that see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/bluetooth-vs-wifi-t3046293

I have the same problem you have buddy, except in my case it's a generic gamepad but the problem is the same: missing drivers, you could compile the driver easily but there seems to be a problem with lollipop kernel sources (in kitkat it worked fine). Anyways when the problem is solved i will compile the drivers, check out this thread btw, we are trying to solve this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/gamepad-joystick-otg-support-t2995943

Thank! After I posted this thread I found the one you linked, and already have it in my bookmarks. I hope somebody will find a solutions.
Unfortunately I'm bad at coding, so I can't really contribute. I'm just baffled, that Android gets "worse" with every new version (at least in my eyes). Why did they break something which was working perfectly before?

It's not exactly like that, in fact motorola has never enabled those drivers on kitkat nor on lollipop. What i did was to compile those drivers and they worked (on kitkat) but now when i try to do the same it doesn't work on lollipop, my guess is that there's something wrong with lollipop kernel sources
Oh, I didn't know that. I thought this was something Android-related (like it is so basic, all Androids should have it), not something that each manufacturer has to integrate himself.
