Funny thing: I can pair and have a working ps3 controller (even clones) via bluetooth within the compatibility checker app.

However, in the "Sixaxis Controller" app, when I press start I get "invalid arguments passed to driver". I mean, how can the compatibility app work and the "real" app not work!? :crazy

edit: I am using version 0.9 of the Sixaxis Controller" app.

What's the latest version?
[Android General] xphinx:
I've also looked over this in last hours. A way to connect DS3 to Android 10 using Bluetooth.

I've used 'Sixaxis Pair Tool' to set the phone BT mac address into DS3 controller and I get a pairing request from DS3.

It asks me for a PIN, I've tried various values (0000, 1234 and many more) without any success.

From the 'btsnoop_hci.log' I see that my phone will refuse to connect to the controller with the following message "Result: Refused - security block (0x0003)"

I have no idea how to control the Bluetooth service on my rooted phone. There is no tool or relevant config files under Android 10.

As I said : I have a rooted phone and no idea how to full-control the BT service. If someone has more details about how to control or install other Bluetooth related tools (console tools) on Android 10 that would be appreciated.
[Android General] eduardvi995:
I've also been making some research about this app compatibility on Android 9+, and I probably know the reason of why it doesn't work on such Android versions. This app was supposed to work on fully R/W systems and roms, And I confirmed this by checking that this app works on almost any rooted device on Android 8 and below, but fails to start the server on any other version besides Oreo. This is because Android 9 implemented the SAR (system-as-root) partition layout on all devices with such Android version, which denies R/W mounts and only allows R/O on the system and other basic partition. So the solution would be a remake of this app with a systemless approach of its behavior, along with some new magisk modules. It can work, but it will require a lot of effort. Let's see what can I do.
[Android General] Molas102:
sir, did you manage to connect the ds3?
[Android General] eduardvi995:
Haven't rebuild the app yet to make it compatible with Android 9+, but im going to do it soon
[Android General] Molas102:
sir, I have no idea how to do all this, but I can't wait to connect the ds3 to the device.
[Android General] remeul:
Any progress?
[Android General] GXDA3:
It would be amazing if you rebuilt it man... I'm on android 10 s9 plus snapdragon with magisk 24.3. I just want to use my ps3 controller to emulate ps2 games. Please let me know if you get it built and also im available for testing modules and apps aswell.
[Android General] eduardvi995:
Sorry, I dropped the project a few months ago because I was given a regular bluetooth gamepad which doesn't require root to use, but I found out that is possible to make this app work on newer devices by using a script to allow R/W in system made by developer lebigmac, which is available here in xda. You only need TWRP recovery and root to make it work. Good luck!

[Android General] L064Z:
Hey guys!

Has anyone here tried this method?

I have a POCO F3 and I just unlocked the bootloader and rooted it with KernelSU.

I did all this to be able to use the PS3 controller via Bluetooth with the Sixaxis Controller application, unfortunately it didn't work.

Is there any custom rom for the POCO F3 that can solve this problem?
[Android General] L064Z:
I did some tests on my POCO F3, I decided to take a chance to see if it would work.

In the original ROM with ROOT, the Sixaxis Controller had the error already known to everyone here:

Getting bluetooth address...

Attempting connection method 1...

Driver Starting...

Error: Failed to configure bluetooth

...

Then I installed ArrowOS 13.1 + ROOT and the same error happened.

I installed LineageOS 20.0 + ROOT, same error as before.

I installed EliteRom Lite v14.0.8.0 Global Stable + ROOT, same error.

I need to make this work because I want to play with the controller via Bluetooth and connect the headphone to the USB C port on cell phone. Bluetooth headphone have a lot of delay, I can't play like that.

I don't know what else to try...

Is there any module or other way to try a solution?

Sorry for the English errors, I'm using a translator.
[Android General] x_berzerker:
still yearning for an alternative ),:
[Android General] sir_earl:
No idea about that one. Does the controller still work with a PS3? Maybe try the reset button also.
[Android General] virgo wattson:
does this require root access to use?
[Android General] 0mie:
Yes, it has been posted a few times.
[Android General] xXDALurker:
Hey cool app.

I paired my original sixaxis to my hd2 just fine. Snesx9 emulator works 100%. Ive tried other emulators and only the dpad/control stick work after configuration (x, o, square, triangle buttons do not register during a game but they do when I am trying to configure input settings). Ive tried gameboid, nesoid, n64oid

I hope this helps making the app better.

Thanks

im running gingerbread if that helps
[Android General] Niglet:
i've tried, it does work with a ps3. I dont think my sixaxis is genuine though, but it worked well with my PC via Bluetooth, i was able to pair the sixaxis to my bluetooth adapter for PC (Using motioninjoy) . But now it wont change its master address to my phone bluetooth address :(. It kept changing back.

Is there any other way to change the master address? Oh and i've tried resetting but still, not working.

Hope you could find a solution to this.
[Android General] zeekmfa:
works on xoom

i can confirm that it works on the motorola xoom, honeycomb 3.2 rooted, on Fpse, you need to mp the buttons infpse before you play which is really easy and takes 15 seconds.;)
[Android General] sir_earl:
Try uninstalling both SixaxisPairTool, MotionInJoy and any drivers for the controller you can find in device manager, then starting over. Also try on a different machine if you have access...
[Android General] felleese:
I finally got ahold of a controller. I must say it works so well!

Im using it on a sgs (galnet miui)
[Android General] xXDALurker:
I have Fpse confirmed working as well
[Android General] ermacwins:
Can you update so we can map the dpad and analog for n64droid. Currently not possible tonisr the right analog for cbuttons
[Android General] sir_earl:
This is the default, but you can make them independent from one another by going to Preferences->Input Mappings->1st Controller mappings...
[Android General] Niglet:
Tried all, still no luck. I even tried the old version of sixpairtool but no success. Havent tried on another computer though, and i have yet to try another controller. Will be reporting if that works.
[Android General] Bitseeker:
Does'nt work on my DHD (RCMix3D Kingdom v1.7) :(

Need other Bluetooth features, like in Cyanogenmod :(

Wont CGMod, if possible an Update for RCMix3D to integrate this required Blutooth Features (other Radio or whatever)?

If had anyone testet on DHD?

Sorry 4 my bad english...

[Android General] ermacwins:
That did the trick, Thanks!

Feature request: - load a profile with:

snesoid

etc

Well done on the app

Bitseeker I think it wont work on a sense rom so flash CyanogenMod 7 or miui

Is this compatible with 2 phones or do you have to configure when using a different phone?
[Android General] oleost:
Hello,

Is it possible to get this program to emulate the inputs of Xperia Play ? So when people play Xperia play optimized games the PS3 controller will control them?

I'm asking because I have galaxy S2 and playing xperia games on this device.
[Android General] sir_earl:
Yes to some or many, but probably not all. In Sixaxis Controller, go to Preferences->Input Mappings->1st Controller mappings, select a button, then scroll to the bottom of the list. Mapping to BUTTON_A, BUTTON_B, etc, should allow xperia games to work. Remember to disconnect and reconnect controller for mapping changes to take effect.
[Verizon Droid Charge] braveally:
So I know there is a pool of people like me that recently purchased a Charge in order to get locked into an unlimited data plan. I assume there is also a smaller set of people, like me, who did this despite the fact they would have rather waited and purchased the Samsung Galaxy S2, but were forced into this decision because of the now enacted tiered data plans. With that being said and the recent news of the GS2 being released next month, I want to know if there is a way to switch from the Charge to the GS2, preferably without paying full retail for the phone (or adding a line). Any insight from current or former Big V employees or aggressive customers on how to go about this, if at all?
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
theres no guarantee it will be a verizon function (or whatever its called) released next month or that it will have lte *unless i missed a news story about that*

so odds are it ill just be tmo/att gsm versions followed by sprint, then vzw...hopefully the vzw one isnt the only 3g one

but no there is no way at launch you can get one on contract price without opening a new line
[Verizon Droid Charge] theReDkoolAiD:
Well, this may not be any help to you, but it may help someone.

Best Buy Mobile is the only place that I know that still has a 30 Day exchange policy for Verizon. Unless the GS II comes out the first week of the month you would be out of luck. But you never know someone my be able to hustle one when it releases.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ermacaz:
If you got it from costco you can return within ninety days
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I have yet to see any news about the SGS2 on Verizon anytime soon. While it will hopefully be out in the next month or two, there are no guarantees.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davey11:
My guess is that there will be a flood of used charges on craigslist when the gs2 releases.

Message sent from XDA premium app
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
The Galaxy S2 is the device I really have been waiting for but after having 4g speeds there is no way I can go back to a 3g device. As far as I know the S2 will not be LTE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] luis86dr:
Ill be keeping my charge. Good enough to hold me off until upgrade comes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] isinisterx:
I'm going to wait on upgrading to the gs2 until some proper reviews come out. And then ill buy one off eBay or something later on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
and you base this lack of lte knowledge on what?
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
You do know you didn't have to buy a new phone to be grandfathered into unlimited data,right? As long as you don't downgrade to a feature phone, you could continue having unlimited data for as long as you're a Verizon customer and don't downgrade.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
I'm guessing he's basing that off of how thin it is.

I wonder if that new Verizon Samsung slider that's been wandering the interwebs lately is Verizon's SGS II...
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
I'm basing it off of not a single mention of LTE in the many many reviews online. We have leaked specs on the entire phone pretty much but not one place mentions LTE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RomTec:
I haven't reviewed the specs of the gs2. Is it a dual core phone? Have you noticed all 4g lte phones are single core? What I was told by verizon is the lte connection somehow literally fries the current dual core processors thus resulting all the lte phones being single core and also why the droid bionic hasn't been released. To conclude my yapping is if the gs2 is a dual core phone then it's likely to be just for 3G.

Gremlins are watching you...
[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
I bought my charge at costco hoping to either get a bionic or gs2 but I'm very happy with my charge even umrooted... I haven't had the need for a dual core cpu and when I do I want a snap dragon dual core. I

am good
[Verizon Droid Charge] braveally:
I am a new customer coming over from Sprint. I was not satisfied with their service but stuck with them because they were more affordable and had unlimited everything. Preferred LTE over Wimax and made the switch a few days before the new tiered data plans. I could have gotten a reliable 3g phone for much cheaper, but I could not resist the LTE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
1. no one has reviewed (or seen) a VERIZON sgs2 yet which would be the only one capable of running lte atm

2. going by leaked roadmaps is pointless as some have said lte others not

3. we will have to wait and see, but that sammy slider WAS lte, and unlikely to be the sgs2...i think it ll be another refreshed sgs 1
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
Most likely the GS2 will be only 3g. Having tasted 4g on the Charge, I can't imagine going back to those slow speeds. However, I think it'll still be a top seller.

[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
again, these 3g only guesses arent based on anything...lets wait and see

frankly though if it launches before oct the odds of 3g are greater...if its october+ i could see them marketing it as a big release
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
Thing is, it's most likely to come next month: http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...nth-someday-some/&category=classic&postPage=1

[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
yes the sgs2 is coming stateside next month...that means little for verizon though...the gsm vibrant launched in late june/early july last year and captivate in july....epic in august....fascinate in september....

so by that logic the function/vzw sgs2 could launch months later

whenever they say "sgs2" usually means gsm flavor
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
sgs2 is dual core...up til now all lte phones have been single core

however bionic launches in august and its lte/dual core

so that logic doesnt necessarily carry over to lte/sgs2 discussion
[Verizon Droid Charge] Sleek69:
I recently got a free upgrade from the fascinate to the charge as quite a few other people here. If we can pull the same thing we used to go from fascinate to charge, we might be able to do the same with the charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
its a dumb move regardless to take the best phone in the world and neuter it
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
I just hope Verizon brands their SGSII a Droid. That way,it'll be as close to a Google Experience phone as possible. Plus, it'll have a better chance to be updated more timely.

Bow chika wah wah
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Motorola is the only company that does Droids. It's just a name. And Droids don't get any special treatment for Google Experience, they're always bloated to hell and back with Verizon and Samsung/Moto crap. And just because it's got the Droid name doesn't mean it'll be updated more timely. The SGS2 is currently the absolute best Android phone, it WILL have support.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
did you just say motorola is the only company that does droids? and you OWN A SAMSUNG DROID CHARGE?????????????

what about the HTC DROID INCREDIBLE ERIS AND DROID INCREDIBLE 2

Wow I just cannot state how much win is going on in this thread. Its astronomical

[Verizon Droid Charge] frogdod:
I didnt read through all the post as there seems to be some droid arguments that arent related

but back to OP.

i bought my charge from best buy and i purchased the buy back program so i am waiting for the release and i might take my charge in and get around 40% back and use that to buy the gs2
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Heh yeah, guess I wasn't thinking when I said that. But the point still remains the same, just because something is deemed a Droid as opposed to anything else doesn't mean it'll instantly get amazing amounts of support. A phone like the SGS2 is guaranteed to get support based on its track record.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Who's saying there's no way to tell if the Galaxy S2 will have LTE? Of course it will, it supports HSPA+(20mb/s download speeds). LTE is happening.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
The reason I said that was because:

Look at the Droid line. Now look at non-Droid phones. Which got faster updates? The LG Ally took ages to get to 2.2. Same with the Fascinate. I don't know what happened to the Continuum.

Now look at the Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, Droid Incredible, Droid Incredible 2. All have gotten updates pretty quick. Didn't the Droid X get GB via OTA before any other phone in the US? And now the Droid Incredible 2 has GB. The original Droid was one of the first to be updated to Froyo, the Droid 2 got GB pretty quick as well as the Droid Incredible.

The thing is, since the Droid line is Verizon's premium android lineup, they are basically "forced" to give those users timely updates. Look at the Droid campaigns. They tout the Droid line as something amazing and powerful, while being super high tech. Of course they'd keep up with updates for that line.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kevin Gossett:
Dont forget the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be launching in the next few weeks with LTE onboard, and it is just as thin as the wifi model, 8.6mm thin. If that is possible, it is certainly possible to have LTE in the SGS2
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeuswsu:
I just hope that the gingerbread OTA is released a couple before the sg2 so we get some sweet roms for the charge before all the developers switch over. I originally thought I would want to switch over to the sg2 but after using the charge, I think im in love with this phone lol. Guess ill wait for the sg3.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
Let's be honest, when the Fascinate dropped the original Galaxy S was the hottest game in town. And to this day, the only reason its considered well-supported is because of this community. VZW and Samsung have been extremely slow to roll anything out, and almost acted like the phone didn't exist. As much as it would suck for VZW to do it, I can definitely see them sweeping a 3g GS2 under the rug like that as well. With a broad Droid line-up and the next iPhone on the horizon, they may not want to market another device heavily, especially if it kills sales of everything else.

When you look back on it, the Droid phones are really the only ones that got much support from VZW or the manufacturer, and VZW doesn't do vanilla devices. I'm hoping they will change their tune and carry the next Nexus on their LTE network, but with their current strategy, it likely would be better if the GS2 was a Droid.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
That has nothing to do with the Droid branding, and everything to do with the fact that, prior to the Charge, all Droids were made by Motorola and HTC. Those two manufacturers, particularly HTC, have always been prompter with updates -- and not just for their Droid-branded Verizon phones, but for their phones on all carriers.

On the other hand, you look at Samsung and LG, and lo and behold... they've always lagged behind on updates -- across the carriers. That's true now, and it's been true in the past.

Here are some slightly old stats on manufacturer/carrier updates:

http://blogs.computerworld.com/17649/android_upgrades

As far as the SGS2 goes, like nitsuj said... any guesses about what that phone will look like on Verizon, and whether it will include LTE, are just that... completely uneducated guesses. The only thing we do know is that the SGS2 is Samsung's top-of-the-line phone, and it would be at a serious competitive disadvantage against the Droid Bionic if it launched without LTE. Does that even matter to Samsung, though? Who knows.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeuswsu:
True on all accounts. Samsung phone's major attraction is their screens these days. I bought the Droid charge based on the screen alone and I'm sure I'm not the only one. If the Bionic had a screen like the charge then I definitely would of waited for that. Imo the screen is the most important part of the phone since that is something you look at everytime you use it, it's too bad the charge wasn't released with similar specs to the sgs2. I love my charge and will stick with it until I'm due for an upgrade, but anyone who says they are satisfied with the amount of RAM and speed of the processor is either not with the times or being ignorant IMO...

edit: All my comments above are assuming the sgs2 is going to be 3g, if it's 4g I'm definitely going to do anything in my power to buy it lol.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
Slow updates on Samsung, not sure to blame Samsung or Verizon for that. If you look at Europe, Samsung does roll out their updates pretty quickly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
Blame Samsung. Verizon is actually the quickest carrier overall at getting updates out (http://blogs.computerworld.com/17650/android_upgrades_carriers) -- in no small part due to HTC, and even Motorola.

Though it kind of is just a "best of the worst" deal.
[Verizon Droid Charge] vash1053:
Got my Charge on sale at Costco July 1st for about 50% off, complete with the 90 day no questions asked return policy, specifically because I figured that either the Bionic or the GS2 would be out within that 3 month window.

Funny thing is, I'm kind of liking my Charge. The Super AMOLED+ is so much better than it's predecessor-- doesn't feel like I'm looking at the phone through a bug screen like the previous generation of AMOLEDs. As such, I'm not sure I'd want to go back to a regular LCD (Bionic) or spend the extra cash (GS2) unless they are just hands-down better across the board.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AnalyzeFaith:
Isnt it for ATT? http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_2-3621.php
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
x2 on that. I mainly bought the Charge because I wanted an AMOLED+ to tide me over to either the SGS2 or the Nexus Prime. As soon as either of those come out then this phone is going straight to eBay. No other screens compare. It completely sucks navigating on someone elses Android phone and the screen is just no good.
[Verizon Droid Charge] timedroid:
What is Amazon's exchange policy? The return window is 30 days from ship date (which was July 6 for me), but can I get the Bionic at a subsidized price?

Of course I don't know if I want one unless it has an unlocked bootloader.

BTW, I don't see why people would pay full price for the Galaxy S 2. At least wait and see if Verizon gets the next Nexus device with LTE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RomTec:
What I been reading is the Galaxy S 2 may be considered the best smartphone in the world right now based on the specs, benchmark, and sales in other countries. Is this true? I saw a pic of a benchmark showing gs2 besting the atrix and other current top phones. Samsung says this is their competition to the iphone.
