Hiya guys. First post, needing help with an Alcatel Idol 4 (I know this is an Idol 4S thread, but there is no Idol 4 thread). Bought me a USB OTG cable, and an Xbox 360 Wireless receiver, planning to use my wireless Xbox 360 controller to play some GTA: San Andreas, Minecraft: Pocket Edition, and some other games. For some reason, it won't connect to my Xbox 360 controller. I connected it to my computer, and it connected. I connected a USB mouse to the OTG cable, and it detected a mouse. How do I get this to work? Do I need to root my phone or something? Please answer ASAP. Update: Tried it on my ancient Samsung Galaxy Note 2, still didn't work, so at least I know it's not working with multiple devices.
Permissions?
After researching a bunch, I've found that my phone does not have the right permission. I downloaded the correct permission, and tried to push it via ADB. Got a small problem: my system was read only. I tried the command to turn the read only to read/write, but the permission was denied. After a little more research , I found it (might) need root. Any tips, like do I need to do a different command? Rooting is not an option, as this phone is fairly new, so there isn't a root made for it yet ( that I know of). Please help a fellow tweaker.
@M1staAwesome, i don't know anything about wireless ... but XBOX 360 wired controller works perfect with my Idol 4 6055K via OTG cable. I was tried some console (Sega, Super Nintendo) emulators apps - all is ok.

Couldn't think of anywhere else to ask this, and couldn't figure out how to phrase the search properly on Google. Here it goes...
Is it possible for me to use my laptop to connect via WiFi to my XBox 360? Here's the catch: I'm not talking about the NETWORK WiFi, but the CONTROLLER ports.
I was given a 360 by a friend who decided to get one of the newer machines. It's in great condition, but he had to keep his controllers. I'm expecting some controllers from various friends soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to see if I could find something that'd let me bend the rules a little.
I have my DualShock3 connected to my Laptop using the MotioninJoy tool. It has an 'X360 Controller Emulator' option which I've successfully used with Games for Windows Live.
The last bit I'm trying to find is a way to use my laptop's WiFi radio to send those controller inputs to the 360.
Can it be done? HAS it been done?
been using this kernel for awhile, and pleased with it. however, got myself a brand new wired xbox 360 controller, plugged it in with USB OTG, and the controller just sit there with all 4 parts of the ring blinking. it is completely unresponsive whatsoever. no button works.
tried it on my friend's console, working fine. tested on his pc, works fine. on my pc, ditto.
it just somehow failed on my s4.
so i borrowed his wireless controller, tested on my s4, and still, same result. blinking light with no response.
done some digging around the net, strangely everyone suggest the controller should work as simple as plug-and-play. but i couldn't get which android version they were at.
disabled OTG helper, USB mass storage enabler, revoked SU permission, still no luck.
is there any explanation to this? any workaround? thanks.
EDIT: strangely enough, a cheap 8$ controller works with this s4.
but i still want to use my xbox's though
Good morning/afternoon/evening all,
For the last several hours, I've been trying to pair my Wii U Pro controller to my phone and I've tried all (including that bluetooth fix app that was all in Japanese) and nothing seems to work. I even tried the regular Wii controller app just to be sure.
I've actually contacted Nintendo and the device was not actually given a PIN to use on devices, just the Wii U.
So my question is:
Is there any way to pair the device without the PIN? The phone recognizes it instantly, however obviously no PIN combination works.
Specs of Phone:
Note 4 [Canadian] Rooted
TEKXodus N4
Bluetooth works fine with regular devices (with PIN)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys.
trying to get an xbox one pad working on the tab s2 for my kids to play emulators.
no joy so far...
... is this actually possible yet?
I don't know, if this is possible, but I use the Asus Gamepad that is made for the Asus Nexus Player. It works fine on all my android devices.
Hope my english is good enough...

your english is perfectly fine dude.
didnt really wanna spend more cash on another pad.
i have 4 xbox one pads and also a microsoft wireless adaptor, a couple of wii pads and 2 x ps3 pads knocking about. ps3 pads have borked batts tho.
something amongst that lot must work?! :crying:
If you really wanna use your Xbox One Controller, you can use an otg-adapter to plug in the wireless-adapter of your controller. If this doesn't work for you, you have to root your device and set up the controller via an extra app. An easier way to play emulator games on your tablet is using your smartphones as bluetooth controller. For this method you don't need to root your phone. Just load the app "BT Controller" via Playstore on your phone and your tablet and follow the instructions to connect them via bluetooth and easiely setup the buttons layout. You can set up 4 smartphones as controller at the same time
Hope i could help you

the tab s2 is rooted.
i have tried it with OTG, wired and using an adaptor.
the tab sees the controller when its wired using the USB/BT joystick centre but thats as far as it goes, no key presses on the pad register.
i havent tried to use my phone as a controller, that kinda defeats the object tho', i may as well just use the tablet screen.
ok,
so it seems Play station pads with OTG function flawlessly.
bubble bobble here we come!!

I can confirm this; I use a Playstation 3 controller via OTG and an adapter regularly. I always start the Sixaxis app whenever I do, but not sure if I need to... I haven't even tried using it with blutooth, but it's an easy way to switch the IME to the controller.
I'm trying to get either an xBox 360 or a PS3 controller connected to my S2 but so far have been spectacularly unsuccessful. Has anybody managed to do it without rooting the device or flashing a new rom?
I've tried both, connected through an OTG cable that I know works because I can use both a flash drive and a wired mouse with it.
I'd rather not root it, it's still under warranty and I don't want to lose that and I definitely don't want to flash a different rom. I like it as it is.
One thread I found implied that the Sixaxis app would allow me to connect the PS3 controller by using the USB cable I have for charging it but I've found this not to be the case. It just tells me that it can't find the controller on Bluetooth and doesn't even seem to look for a wired one.
Searching has shown me that the controllers can be connected to other tablets but I'm yet to find anyone who has done it with the S2.
Please can anyone help? I'd love to be able to play games on my tablet without using the on screen controls which I find very awkward.
I should say that my S2 is an SM-T713
You would definitely need a keymapper, I'd say. Unless the game in question nativity supports a gamepad/controller.
Did you check the Nvidia Shield Tablet threads?
I think they came up with a *no root* solution, which should be applicable for all sorts of Android devices.
Thanks, I'll have a look
I was in a similar boat to you a few week ago on my stock T715:-
-Xbox 360 Bluetooth, no connection
-PS3 Bluetooth, no connection
-Xbox 360 Wired/OTG, no connection
-PS3 Wired/OTG, connection but sometimes with calibration issues
I went to a shop in the UK called CeX and asked for a Bluetooth controller. They had a used Gamesir S3 for £15 which is cheaper than a wired PS3 controller. The Gamesir is excellent, it's connected every single time. They supply a micro USB to micro USB cable so you have the choice of wired or Bluetooth. Both work flawlessly without any calibration issues.
Best £15 I've spent this year. :victory:
Fail.
I can recommend gamesir s3 too. It also came with a clip that you can use for your phone.
