Hi, I don't know if you guys already tried this but this is what I did. First downloaded and installed the sixaxis compatibility checker and redownloaded the sixaxis controller app. I ran sixaxis compatibility checker and started the driver then I forgot to stop it and went on directly in opening sixaxis controller app and started it. Changed the IME and boom! - it connects to my ps3 controller. BTW, I just flashed phoenix rom 9.4 10 minutes before I downloaded the apps. My phone is a galaxy s4 I9505 and running on an s5 rom. Try this method and don't forget thanks if it worked on your phone. Good day!
[Android General] lars.hu:
Hi there,

I'm having issues with the app I can't resolve.

Hardware and software used:

Nexus 7 2013 (flo), 4.4.4 Stock, rooted

Aftermarket sixaxis controller, reports itself as "Gasia Co.,Ltd PS(R) Gamepad" in Linux/Android, the package reads "KING Doubleshock III" (yeah, I know what you are going to say but please read on. :P)

I set the bluetooth master address with sixpair under Linux and It worked fine. The controller paired without problems not only once or twice.

Playing Modern Combat 5 online multiplayer the controller felt to laggy (I blame that on my 2.4GHz wifi) so I also got an OTG-Cable and played this game using Sixaxis Enabler. Meanwhile I also tried to get it to work on my PC (Current Ubuntu 14.04 Kernel is broken but mainline works) but did not pursue it to the end.

Now i wanted to use the wireless connection again and it won't pair anymore. :( OTG wired connection still works. I set the Bluetooth master don't know how many times using sixpair and the app itself via OTG. There is a small hole under the controller with a button underneath. I also tried that assuming it's reset. Anyway that button doesn't make the controller forget its master (sixpair repeats the current setting)

Any hints for me what I could try? I'm willing to provide any logs or other information if you'll give me a hand collecting it (root terminal available).

TIA!
[Android General] SaschaHa:
Try deleting app data or reinstall sixaxis controller. Maybe that will work 4u. A few years ago I had same issues, reinstalling the app was a solution for me. Maybe you have to set master adress via OTG and sixaxis app (after reinstalling)
[Android General] lars.hu:
mpuziw angle

Thank you for your answer. I already tried that but it still does not work. I also confirmed that the bluetooth address stayed the same as I read somewhere that it changed to someone after reinstall.

Compatibility Checker doesn't work either. And I forgot to mention that I don't own a PS3 to check if the controller works there.
[Android General] kolpa06:
Thanks for the tip. It works on my Nexus 5, however, it doesn't work on Fire tv.

One reason I found is that the am executable (activity manager) in 4.4.4 supports "stopservice" whereas 4.2.2 doesn't.

That means, I cannot stop sixaxis service properly. Any solutions you can offer?

Thanks
[Android General] motzul39:
Do anyone know how to connect sixaxis to Oneplus One on CyanogeMod 11. I have OTG cable. When I press start in sixaxis controller app appears: "could not start driver".
[Android General] navyninja636:
Verizon Galaxy S5 towelroot modified stock rom with Xposed mainly,

installed the six axis compatibility and says compatible and gives proper indications.

so i borrowed my buddy's PS3 controller set up my Bluetooth number and connected,

took a few attempts but finally got it playing games, set up the buttons and played for a bit

now when i try to connect the controller again the darn thing is stuck at "listening for controllers"

ive tried the reboot and seems to be hit or miss if im successful

any advice would be appreciated.

thank you to the Dev for this app its great just wish i could figure out this issue.
[Android General] SaschaHa:
Check your Bluetooth adress and (maybe) try to connect it via OTG to set this adress to the controller :)
[Android General] plopingo:
I have exactly the same issue, can't found any solution at the time :(

Sixaxis Controller on Cyanogenmod 11 (KitKat) Xperia Mini Pro

I am currently running Cyanogenmod 11 on my Xperia Mini Pro (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2545367), and I can't seem to get Sixaxis Controller to connect to my PS3 controller...

note that before this i was running a stock rom and it worked perfectly

First I tried to change the bluetooth mac address the controller is paired to using the SixaxisPairTool, but didn't work

Then I tried OTG and still it wouldn't connect

It just get stuck at "Listening for controllers"

I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Sixaxis app and still no go!

Is anyone else having the same problem?
[Android General] SaschaHa:
For me its working when I freeze Bluetooth Sharing app. It seems that this app starts a service that kills sixaxis driver. Just freeze it with Titanium Backup when using Sixaxis :)
[Android General] Kri$:
I have fake (non genuine) Ps3 controller.

Of course sixaxis app doesn't work (doesn't recognize pad via BT), but is there any other app to play games on android phone using this pad?
[Android General] plopingo:
Sisaxis works with certain model of clone. Not working either with OTG ?

with BT it's the only one, for using OTG you can use other program like Game Pad IME
[Android General] SkeeterPan:
I get stuck on listening for controller.

This is what the logcat shows:

[Android General] Johan1976:
Is Sixaxis working on rooted lollipop? Want to know before I upgrade my Nexus 10.
[Android General] Traace:
Yes, we ain't got no libbt-vendor.so. just a bluetooth.blueangel.so
[Android General] sir_earl:
Hi all. I'm working on a fix that I hope can fix an issue with some devices that get stuck on 'Listening for controllers...', but never connect to a controller. The most likely device this will affect is the Samsung Galaxy S5, but it could also affect other devices and vendors.

Just install the attached version of the compatibility checker app and let me know whether it works for you (as well as the device you're trying it with).
[Android General] CerB:
When i start the sixaxis controller app on my Nexus 9, it comes with this error.

[Android General] sir_earl:
Previous version I posted isn't working. Try this version instead.
[Android General] Artum:
This version works for me on Android Lollipop (Nexus 5) with SuperSU 2.23
[Android General] Johan1976:
But this only the compability checker and not the complete app right? When can we expect to be able to update purchased app from play?
[Android General] shokbet:
im also stucked in "listening for controller. i have lenovo a536 mt6592 ...

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

i really like this app but cant make it work on my new mt6592 a536 lenovo.. but it works on my old ics phones an jellybean. can you pleas fix this?
[Android General] Artum:
Yeah, It's only with Compatibility Checker. I hope the full version will feature this soon :)
[Android General] Johan1976:
Seems like they allready have implemented the solution but not just yet released it. Is sir_earl part of the developer?

This apk works on my Nexus 4 Lollipop. :good:

When do you think the update will be on the market ? (I just buy it after testing the compatibility with 4.4.4 ...)
[Android General] twiztid_gamer:
I'm getting this when I click start Error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported & didn't see a definitive answer as to what the problem is & or what I can do to resolve it
[Android General] EncryptedCurse:
Are you running Lollipop?
[Android General] twiztid_gamer:
I am running lollipop, I'm guessing that means the app hasn't been updated to be compatible with lollipop then?
[Android General] shokbet:
what i noticed when you try to start sixaxis it only makes connection type 1.. while my old phones dualshock3 connects on connection type 3 made by sixaxis
[Android General] Levistras:
Works!

Working great on Nexus 6 LRX21O.

How soon til we see this applied to the main app?

Thanks!
[Android General] shokbet:
is there hope?
[Android General] Johan1976:
No idea. There were some action few days ago and a fixed compatibility checker was released. It seemed to work on lollipop but we never heard anything new about the real deal.

Not even sure the guy who posted it is part of the actual developers or if it just was a modified apk in some way.

yah... also the last update in appstore was 2013.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

its already updated yesterday!
[Android General] shokbet:
but no luck.... not working on my phone lenovo a536
[Android General] Johan1976:
Hey its updated and I didn't even noticed ?
[Android General] r0c0:
yeah but it still does not work for me on mtk8127, listening for controllers but it does not pair with the controller.
[Android General] Johan1976:
Have you paired it with USB cable first?
[Android General] Tex Killer:
First of all, thanks for the amazing app!

My brother has it on his cellphone and it works very well. I've bought a Star G9000 recently myself (MTK6592, Android 4.2.2), but the checker always stays at "Listening for controllers..."

I've managed to get the Logcat from the time I pressed the "Start" button up until the app got to "Listening for controllers...", so I guess if there is some clue to the problem it should be around there. Hope you guys can fix it :D

Thank you :)
[Android General] sir_earl:
Looking in the log you posted, it gave me the idea that your device (and probably other MTK devices) might have a broken implementation of the default Google bluetooth implementation, when they're actually using the MTK drivers instead. Can you try looking in /system/lib/ and /system/lib/hw/ for either a file named 'libbt-hci.so' or 'bluetooth.default.so'. If you find them, try renaming them to something else (i.e. add '.bak' to the end), so you can restore them later if necessary. After that, try running the Sixaxis app again and see what happens. You will need to mount the system partition with write access, which you can do with various apps on Google Play.

If I'm right, the app is getting stuck at connection type 1 because it thinks it's successful. After renaming those library files, it should get to connection type 2, which works with the MTK drivers. Let me know if that still didn't do it - I'm having to guess at the bluetooth library file names, so it's possible the correct library is also named something different from what I've seen on other MTK firmwares, so I'll get you to search for any other libraries that might be relevant.
[Android General] shokbet:
it worked.. i rename the libbt-"hci.so.bak" im happy to know and willin to buy it 10x..tnxx!!!

but does renaming that system file have any effect on phone regular function ??
[Android General] Tex Killer:
Thank you very much! It worked! :D

I've already bought the app!

By the way, could you make the app detect the MTK libbt-hci.so automaticaly and avoid being stuck like that? I am guessing that renaming that file will affect the normal bluetooth behaviour of the phone...

I've attached my libbt-hci.so (compressed as ZIP), maybe that will help you.

Thank you again!
[Android General] shokbet:
is touch emulation working on yours?
[Android General] Tex Killer:
I've created a simple test touch profile with the select button and it worked, so yeah. But I don't plan on using touch emulation.
[Android General] shokbet:
yes tnx.. [emoji4]
[Android General] sir_earl:
Given that the app is working without it, it's unlikely that library is even used. If you can still toggle system bluetooth after renaming the file, then you almost certainly don't need it. I'll add a check to connection type 1 for the existence of the mtk library, and if found allow it to fail on type 1 and skip to type 2. I could also move the MTK stage before the existing one, but I'd rather not disrupt the vast majority of devices that are using that type.
[Android General] shokbet:
i tried using the bluetooth for file transfer and it worked fine.. guess its k without that file as of now. tnx [emoji4]

I´m having the Segmentation Fault even if I freeze the bluetooth share .

Im with 0.8.1 sixaxis version Galaxy S5 ; PS3 controller.
[Android General] shokbet:
dear sir_earl touch emulation not working, ive tried it on other phones and it worked well but mines not. what should i do?
[Android General] shokbet:
everything is working. mouse, native pad, etc. except touch emulation. why is that?
[Android General] sir_earl:
Please send a logcat after starting the driver. What device are you running, and do you get any error regarding the touchscreen device in the Sixaxis app output text?
[Android General] sir_earl:
I've made some quite big changes to connection type 1 to hopefully enable way more devices than before, but there's every chance that I've broken support for some devices too, so it would be great to get as much feedback from everyone about how well the attached beta version works for them, including their device and firmware details.

If your controller isn't connecting, or you're getting any strange errors, please attach a logcat to your post so I can investigate.

I'm not sure if it will fix the 'segmentation fault' some Galaxy S5 users are having though, as that might be a different issue.
[Android General] sir_earl:
Small tweak to fix an issue I introduced for some devices with different bluetooth library name... Please try this version instead of the above.

Hey guys I have an issue on Nexus 5 running Lollipop.

The app connects and works well but within 5 minuted it disconnects completely and i have to go back into the app restart the drivers.

Any ideas what it may be?

EDIT: rolled back to 0.8.0 and all is working great again. Will keep checking on G.play for updates but I will probably stick with this build in future.

[Android General] GandalfTehGray:
Anyone know if this works for Sony Z2 tablet? Compatibility app says it was but Wanted to confirm if possible. Tired of touchscreen controls on Wot Blitz.
[Android General] LiamAtkins90:
I think nearly every android device works now from 4.x + and up. Since the controller support was a default in the Kernel since like ICS.

But unknown Chinese Knock offs with Mediatek processors probably wont have support, reason I don't know.

To be honest though the Z2 should work over Bluetooth without Root. But if you have Rooted the device you can map touch emulation, and also have a toggle to toggle connection on and off (through the app)

I think you can only play wired (USB OTG cable) on all devices except Sony (unless you root) the six axis app just modifies the Bluetooth so it communicates with the controller kinda like its own channel sorta thing, sometimes It's just easier playing through Bluetooth and not to mention you wont be straining the USB port every time you wanna hook it up.

But you will need to download a programme onto your computer and change the Bluetooth address to match your phone so it pairs. And note you will need to do that process everytime you resink it with the PlayStation. So it is worth buying a cheap PS3 pad to have as a spare.
[Android General] GandalfTehGray:
It does work just fine. And you can connect the controller to it without using the sixaxis app but still need root for touch emulation.
[Android General] LiamAtkins90:
Good that it works fine, and as far as I know yeah. The sixaxis app also remaps certain buttons. Like for example GTA San Andreas isn't original PS2 controls it's all jumbled. And the only way to fix it is too remap them through that app. And you can tick a 'recognise as gamepad' button in Sixaxis, which recognises the PS3 as a Moga, PS3, Xbox etc gamepad and maps the buttons automatically. But again to get it right you may need to remap certain buttons for the right setup. In my experience the only game I have had trouble with is GTA SA. Everythink else is great.

no physical keyboard.

only u/d/l/r working in psx4droid. no buttons work for anything else, but all buttons recognized in app.
[Android General] sir_earl:
Damn. There goes that theory!
[Android General] sir_earl:
It's starting to look like just the Droid X2 with this problem. Do you have access to a Wiimote to try out with the Wiimote Controller app. I'd like to see if that also has the same problems.
[Android General] 0mie:
I can't map or get anything to work with N64oid :(
[Android General] Weare138:
The wiimote app works and is able to map the key mappings in all emulators
[Android General] razor_blade:
Anyone? I feel like I am so close, yet so far away... I really hope that I didn't buy a PS3 controller for nothing!
[Android General] 0mie:
you don't use the bluetooth settings to pair the phone...you use the Sixaxis app to do all that, did you try my step by step "guide" post 86?
[Android General] razor_blade:
I did. And I am not trying to pair it through the bluetooth settings. I was just commenting that I saw the controller in there as paired but not connected. no matter what I do, I never get solid lights on the controller after hitting the on button. Your guide did not work for me, unfortunately.
[Android General] 0mie:
hmm, try this for me...it worked for me a few times when it didn't want to pair.

turn bluetooth off...open the compatibility tool and hit start...it's going to ask you to turn it on etc...once it tells you it's compatible hit the back button...open the Sixaxis app...hit start...change input method to Sixaxis Controller and hit the PS button and it should have paired now :)

which OS are you using on your computer? the MAC BT address is shown on the computer tool, correct? also make sure the controller lights are off when you're doing the above steps.

let me know if that works for you...
[Android General] razor_blade:
Still, no dice. I will keep trying. Windows 7 32 bit.
[Android General] Niglet:
The exact thing that happened to me. I am using HD2 though. I never got the light to stay and it keep flashing. Followed the guide thoroughly but still did not work. Maybe its a problem with the controller, no?
[Android General] sir_earl:
When you click 'start' in the compatibility checker app (or full app), what appears in the output text?
[Android General] inifekt:
Anyone having problems with the device not being picked up when plugged in via USB?
[Android General] razor_blade:

[Android General] razor_blade:
In the full app I get a connection initiated then a connection established, nothing else.
[Android General] ermacwins:
Just tried it on n64oid works, just needs the analog and c button mapping for pure win.

Also its maybe the rom im using but i have to cofig the sixaxis app with pc first when i run it
[Android General] sir_earl:
Couple of things:

1. Are you using an original controller?

2. When you plug the controller into your PC with the SixaxisPairTool running, does the 'current master' change from 'device not found' to the same address shown on your phone? Definitely typed correctly?

3. What device and rom are you running?

4. Try pressing the reset button on the bottom of the controller with a paper clip and try again.

5. Long shot, but make sure you unplug the controller from usb before trying to connect to phone.
[Android General] tinglez:
Having same problem as razer_blade ...

Can't get solid lights to sync ... all steps razer_blade has taken, still no final sync.

Running stock 3.0.1 rom on Galaxy Tab 10.1v, rooted of course.

Compatibility app says it's compatible, when i plug into my computer ( Windows 7 64 bit), it reads the correct mac address as displayed in the Sixaxis app.

After i start connection it says connection established, i switch to Input Method Sixaxis Controller, it says clients connected:1 .... lights keep flashing.

I don't think it's the controller, as it's a brand new Sixaxis, and up until the final connections, there wasn't a single problem getting any other steps to work.

Will report back here if i figure it out, but until them i'm open to any ideas T_T
[Android General] razor_blade:
1. Sort of. It wasn't obtained with a PS3 System, but it is definitely a genuine Dualshock 3 Sixaxis controller.

2. Yes, it is the same address.

3. HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD) on CM7 nightly build 150

4. I will go try it.

5. Yes, I did unplug it before I tried to pair it.

Thanks for the help, I will give the reset button a try and report back.
