General :: Connecting SGS3 To PS3 Controller?
Jan 12, 2013
I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and I've been trying for weeks to connect it to a PS3 controller. I got a usb to mini usb converter, downloaded the Sixaxis Controller app and rooted my phone, but after connecting to the controller and turning it on it just flashes while the app says "listening for controllers..." so I assumed I must have got a faulty converter ordered a new one, same results. Then I ordered gameklip after reading that it could connect with your controller just by plugging in a mini to micro cable and after it arrived I'm getting the same problem. The phone just doesn't seem to recognize that there's anything plugged into it. I've tried two different PS3 controllers. I've tried resetting them using a paperclip and the button on the back. I've tried resetting the phone multiple times. I've honestly tried everything I can think of. It just doesn't seem to work.
Everybody I can find on the internet seems to have no problem with either a wired or wireless method, but I can't seem to figure it out. I don't know if there's just something simple I'm missing or if there's some compatibility problem I don't know about, but I've spent over $50 trying to get this thing to work so I'd like to see that pay off.
I have a SPH-L710 on 4.1.1.

I currently don't have a way to connect my Xbox 360 Wireless dongle since I don't have a USB to MICRO USB converter, So is there any way to do so? without any plugs? I know the Xbox 360 uses a specific way to connect wirelessly unlike the Playstation 3 that uses Bluetooth. BUT although, There MUST be a way! therefore, I am asking all of you android users with probably more knowledge than me on this.

Should I just do a backup, and install CM 10.1 OTA through my phone, then install GApps, and then install things I like (Such as Custom Kernel and JustUnBean Themed Gapps) as I normally do when updating my ROM?
Or should some extra steps/wipes/etc be taken when going from CM 10 to CM 10.1?

I can't seem to be able to send texts through the default messaging app. Calls and data works. Restarting my phone seems to temporarily fix my issue. I have full network bars and have tried switching carriers. I'm also on Android 4.3 on Samsung Galaxy S3.
The weird thing is that I can send texts through Google Hangouts app, but not the android messaging app.

I always used LCD Density Modder Pro for the Play Store Fix for my SGS3, but now i noticed, that it's a very outdated version of the Store and i even can't buy anything, because it always says: Packagefile is invalid.
Is there any alternative modded Playstore around for a Density of 320?

I have been running my own custom rom for weeks. Battery has not been an issue in the past. Today, bettery was draining a lot and I looked at gsam and it showed kernel using 89%. The only thing I have changed recently is I updated busybox - smart install in order to get a script working. I have two init.d scripts which may have something to do with it. I have attached the scripts, as well as Included processes for kernel.
Device Info:
Verizon SGS3
Rom: Mean Lean JellyBean Machine
Firmware base: I535VRBLK3 (4.1.1)
Kernel: Stock VRBLK3 (although rooted/unsecured)
Only mods to the rom are that I updated busybox to get script2 working.
Included Processes:
HTML Code:
busybox
vold
migration/1
file-storage
pgrep
[Code]...

I'm new to smartphones in general because I refused to buy one, they're destroying the world we live in, and now I can't focus on a simple face-to-face conversation without getting distracted by this silly device. But what's done is done. Recently a job opportunity left me no choice. I've been selling iPhones and Droid RAZRs by the truckload on eBay. I was an iPhreak until about christmas when I obtained a few Galaxy S3s to refurbish and sell, and after unlocking one of these i535s to work on Cricket for my girlfriend, I attempted a similar method to get one functioning on AT&T. Using DFS CDMA tool, I've gained the ability to send and receive SMS, as well as receive calls using my AT&T SIM card, but when I attempt to call out (any number), com.android.phone FCs and I'm returned to the home screen. I don't need mobile data, or MMS. I'd just like my phone to function as a phone, not simply a "hand computer".
My question: How can I make outgoing calls with AT&T on a VZW SGS3?
Rooted with an unlocked bootloader. Willing to flash, but insist on remaining rooted. ICS 4.0.4, I535VRLF2.

My main problem with Cyanogenmod is that the default Touchwiz camera app is the best free camera app I have seen, and even more so for the video camera.
I tried taking the Camera .apk file, but I just get a message saying "application not installed" when I try to install it, and "there was a problem parsing the package" if I try to install it from /root.
Yes unknown whatever installs are allowed. And I've tried a hundred and seven different installer/file manager apps, but they all direct me to the same default installer.
Other apps I'd want to take are the calculator and video player.

I have a SGS3 that I have rooted and running CM10...
stock I had 'S Beam' which was awesome. because my gf has sgs3 as well, and i was able to send her videos directly from my phone..
but now that I'm running CM10 and jellybean, I lost this feature on my end
I looked at the app store with keyword 'wifi direct' and came up empty handed.

I have done a battery pull, as well as restarted, and rechecked the boxes for repeat sound notifications for my text messages. The repeat sound is set at every 2 minutes. I do receive the original sound notification, but, I never get the subsequent notices. Verizon is at a loss...gee imagine that...But, at the same time, the Haptic (vibrating touch) randomly unchecks it's box and I lose that function about every 2-3 days also.

Any way to recover deleted files from the Samsung Galaxy S3 internal SD card without rooting the phone. I dont need to recover anything from the DATA partition, just the internal disk partition.
Ive tried several software and Windows and Ubuntu see my phone as a MTP device, but somehow the software doesnt detect it, even when i put it in USB debugging mode or connect it as a PTP device.

I must have changed a setting somewhere. I used to be able to connect my SGS3 to my computer and see the files of both my internal and external SD cards. For some reason now all I can see is my external SD card. I am running a CyanogenMod 10 ROM. I have USB storage activated.

My device details: SGS3 T999, rooted, running Jellybean 4.3 on a liquid smooth ROM. Its a year old and has been a solid performer up until now.
My device is stuck in a cycle where it gives a quick vibrate, then SGS3 splash screen with white letters, then black screen, then tiny blue "Recovery booting..." words in upper left of screen, then black screen with couple vibrations, and around and around it goes in the same repeating cycle.
Just before it started I had taken the following actions: Dumped the following 2 files onto my EXTSD card (cm-11-20131217-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip, gapps-kk-20131119.zip) from my PC, booted phone into recovery mode using TWRP, did a factory reset wipe (success), cache wipe (success), dalvik cache wipe (success), flashed the NIGHTLY file (failed), flashed the gapps file (failed). At this point I should have sought some support. Fool! I next did a reboot step still in recovery mode. Without the reboot happening a message came up stating Superuser permission had been broken (the best I can remember) and the option to have TWRP repair the permission. I opted "yes" to repair. Then the loop started that I can't escape.
I have pulled the battery multiple times, tried a regular boot up, tried a recovery boot up (up volume+power+home) dropping the home button after a few seconds. Nothing is working. Prior to the above steps I backed up everything on the device. So I have backups to use if it can be done. My best guess is that I failed to update my CyanogenMod or TWRP to the very latest versions and it caused this hang up.

Is there any apps out there that let you use an android phone as a ps3 controller. By that I mean controlling the ps3 with your phone including the analog sticks (I think that's what they're called) and the R and L buttons. ADR6400L

I wonder if it isn't possible to use android phones as a remote for the WII. There are games which don't use the IR input, for example New Super Mario. In principle we have all sensors to play this game.

I'm trying to get my Xbox 360 Controller working with my HTC EVO 3D. I bought a mini usb to female usb so I can hook both things together--but the indicator lights on my controller does not work. It is running Android version 2.3.4 and HTC Sense version 3.0. I'd like to know if there is a way to get these two paired and working with the app OnLive.
I ordered a PS3 controller. So how to get a PS3 controller paired with my phone for OnLive and explain how to root it?

I recently bought a fairly cheap Yarvik tab (TAB264) running ICS 4.0.3. with a USB host and so far it has nothing else than impressed me !
What i'm trying to do is connect a game controller via USB to play games in emulators. I have a authentic PS3 controller with usb cable and an Xbox controller for the PC, with a USB dingle for wireless connection to the pc / tablet. I do not have bluetooth on my device, but i do have a bluetooth dongle. However, this is not plug and play. If I plug in a keyboard, mouse of mass storage device the tablet will recognise it. With a bluetooth stick this is not the case. I have seen serveral video's where people just plug in their xbox controller and it works, they only have to map the keys in to emulator and they are good to go. In my case, as with the bluetooth dongle, it is like its not recognised.
Is there a way to download drivers for either one controllers, universal controller support or the bluetooth stick ?
in short:
- Can i use the PS3 controller via usb ?
- Can i use to Xbox controlle via usb ?
- Can i install drivers for the bluetooth stick so i can use the ps3 controller wireless (whis would be awesome since bluetooth would be nice).

How to pair the six axis controller on a Mac? I'm a newb to the command line thing in terminal and I don't know what to type to get it working. I don't understand how to run it...
The official website says
Mac OSX
Command line utility version of 'sixpair' for OSX can be downloaded from here. Modified source code can be found here. This utility requires libusb, which can be downloaded from [URL] ..... Choose the binary for your version of OSX.
But how do i run the command line utility? I got he libusb thing and installed it successfully but I still don't know how to make it work correctly. Every time I try some of the steps I find online, my terminal says "-bash: $: command not found"

I have a Galaxy Note running on ICS, and N64oid v2.6.3. I have used Sixaxis controller to get my dualshock 3 connected and working on the phone. Now when I go into n64oid to try and connect it, I had to download another app for other bluetooth devices and drivers, but the dualshock 3 is not in that list.

If I stick my phone to my TV via HDMI while pairing the phone with a bluetooth controller/gamepad, can I use the gamepad to move around the android UI on my couch? Like surf the internet and open apps and such.

I'm trying to use my xbox controller via USB-OTG or my Wii Classic Controller to play MC4. I can walk, shoot and reload but I can't use the right stick to look around. I already flashed custom keylayouts from Nexus 10 but it didn't worked.
