[Sony Tablet S] Gutta624:
Unfortunately the PS3 controller doesn't work. Sony's proprietary bluetooth is at it again. As you all know, Sony never likes to play well with other companies...and in this case, not even with their own devices. I ordered the logitech controller and an OTG USB cable which I'll try out today. I figure it'll work nicely and bluetooth would be even better. We'll see...
[Sony Tablet S] kopite42:
I have tried with a proper sony pad and can confirm it wont work via bluetooth or usb. it`ll connect to a rooted device but as the tablet isnt rooted yet it wont work.

I`ve talked to staff in a couple of Sony centres and they have said they have been told by sony reps that it will work with the controller soon.
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
Any update on whether the logitech controller works or not?
[Sony Tablet S] soultics:
It works with the USB Adapter. Played my PS Certified Games just fine! It works on other games as well, but its hit or miss.
[Sony Tablet S] Gutta624:
Yes, I use it with my emulators and it works fine. The controller itself leaves a little to be desired but with the OTG cable I bought and the logitech controller's usb dongle, i can now game a bit better on my tablet. I also bought the dock so that I could have the screen vertical.
[Sony Tablet S] clsiaba:
You can use a mouse and a keyboard with usb.
[Sony Tablet S] MrZippo:
I have plugged in the official wired Xbox360 pad and it works! The only problem is that the buttons are all mapped differently for the playstation certified games and there is no way of re-mapping them. For stuff like emulators where you can re-map the buttons it works amazingly well.
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
Has anyone tried using the PS3 DS controller ever since the PS Store came out? Just curious if it included some kind of software patch to allow the PS3 controller to work since Sony has stated that soon we will be able to use the PS3 controller. I just don't want to waste the money on the logitech controller just for the tablet when I have like 4 PS controllers lying around.
[Sony Tablet S] MrZippo:
I Just tried and it doesn't work, all it does is flash the 4 red leds on the pad and that's it.

I think we need the Tablet rooted to get one working via usb
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
Damn! I'm probably going to try this when I get home from work and I have time to try pairing this to my tablet and then getting a refund if it doesn't work, unless someone wants to try it first. It says it doesn't require root, but the reviews are a bit iffy:

[Sony Tablet S] cp_kirkley:
I'm leaving work early today (3:30 Eastern Standard) - I'll try to fit it in before my evening class.
[Sony Tablet S] cp_kirkley:
Ok so after purchasing, no dice. The pairing was successful, but the server app still needs root to even start. I had no problems purchasing it because a have a bunch of android phones I should be able to use itwith. But as of now, the app doesnt work for the Tablet S. Would love to see rootcoming down the pike for this thing though...
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
Thanks for the update. I figured with the so/so reviews there was probably going to be an issue with the tablet s.
[Sony Tablet S] cp_kirkley:
No problem, man. Its a little baffling why these devices are so heavily touted as Playstation Certified devices, yet I have no choice but to use logitech and/or Microsoft controllers to play Sony's games.

I have a PS3, so as soon as they are officially supported I will use the sony controller. But I can't understand why they wouldn't have this ironed out by now? Or allow us to root the device so we can do it ourselves?
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
Seriously I'd hate to have to buy a non-licensed product other than my SONY controller to play my Sony games on my Sony device. I'm going to wait for now and hope that Sony wises up and releases a patch so i can use my Sony accessories...
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
same here

agree 100%
[Sony Tablet S] Geeve:
Will the Xperia Play optimised games work on this tablet with a controller?
[Sony Tablet S] XotusBlack:
its a real slap into my face...

found one from german manufacturer "Hama" with USB

what brakes ma neck ?

that the controller is compatible with PS3, no support for Tablet S

[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
The first app you listed requires root which we're trying so hard to get but haven't yet; I'm sure once we're rooted this will work no problem. The second app says "Supported devices are: Zeemote JS1, MSI Chainpus BGP100, Phonejoy and iControlPad (iCP)." Doesn't mention the PS3 controlloer or the tablet s under devices...

Thanks though!
[Sony Tablet S] Cuif:
then you can not install applications that are not the android market or if you're going to settings and jamming the option to install without a certificate or something
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
I'm not sure what you just said but you can download 3rd party apps by going to settings > applications > unknown sources
[Sony Tablet S] Cuif:
many thanks men jejej
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
Is everybody having problems with ps3 controller connection via usb still on 3.1 firmware - i just so on the following link posted on the main forum

A sony ambassador link that 3.2 would handle this.
[Sony Tablet S] Gutta624:
Has anyone got this to work with their current otg cable?
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
Waiting for the newest update...
[Sony Tablet S] chongbh:
Yes, I have tested with the latest firmware and connected 2 PS3 controller via bluetooth but you have to pair it with the OTG cable then you can disconnect it after that.
[Sony Tablet S] chongbh:
I have tested to install the FPSE Emulator on my Tablet, launch the FPSE with my PS3 controller connected via bluetooth then proceed to play the game by loading the Street Fighter ROM.

Of course, you will need to disable the on-screen controller layout then configure the hardware keys then you will be able to control using the Digital Pad and Analog joystick to play the game, it is fun playing the Street Fighter game on my Tablet with the PS3 wirelessly.
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
I've just got the OTA update and my cable is still shipping out, but from what I've heard to clear things up:

The DS3 can be used with the Tablet, but only after the 3.2.1 (Release 2) update is installed. After that, you need to have a USB OTG cable to connect the controller and pair it. After this, the Bluetooth works fine.

There is an app that allows you to pair without an OTG cable by using a PC, but this requires root, and is therefore currently unavailable for Tablet S users.

Third-party controllers are a bit of a hit-and-miss affair by account, but often seem to work with a bit of patience and effort.
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
correct. seriously, once you get the otg cable, hook up the ps3 controller and it will detect it and do all the work for you and then you can just unhook it and hit the ps button and it will pair with your tablet from now on!
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Windows Phone feels pretty feature complete. But I'm sure there are still some things we all personally would like to see baked into future releases. What are some of your wants?

My List:

Faster way to kill a task (like flicking up the card when in multi-task view)

Visual Voice Mail (on Sprint) - Seems inconsistent across board.

Wifi Tethering - I believe will be on all new Mango phones released.

More visual options like partially transparent tiles w/wallpapers.

Separate volume controls ala Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] speeddemon2008:
Like windows mobile 6.5

This is one of biggest features I want.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikroland:
Share a Video using MMS

API hooks for remote control software such as Bomgar, logmein, etc...

Rotate homescreen on landscape mode.

Built in VPN client

Ability to get IP address information in the about screen

WIFI Hotspot as you've mentioned

More system wide voice commands, and more voice to text commands such as being able to reply without saying read it 1st.

Ability to manage open apps as you've already mentioned

Ability to join to a domain and manage phone using GPO

Support for USB devices

More that I can' think of right now...

Overall I am pleased and already can't wait for Tango and then Apollo!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
The ability to delete an email on the phone only and not on the mail server

The option to change the default calender view
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Better call history (group calls by caller, ability to delete multiple selected calls)

Smart Dialer

Separate volume controls for system (apps), ringer, and music

Ability to "kill" apps from the switcher, and to pin apps to it so they aren't automatically tombstoned

A notifications panel

An integrated connection manager (Network Dashboard is great, but the feature needs to be built-in, and easily accessible)

Wallpaper support on the start screen

User-customizable accent colors

A favorite apps hub

Battery percentage display (isn't text the main selling point of Metro?)
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
-in call recording (api or preferably native in the dialer)

-full landscape support in all native apps

-usb tethering as simple/fast as it was in WM 6.5 (ICS worked great)

-better bluetooth controls (disable discoverability without disabling bt)

-api to allow for mymobiler type application (control phone from PC connection)

-simple/fast USB storage mode switch

-more detailed call history (list the call time lengths)
[Windows Phone 7 General] mpinlacm:
The ability to use Windows Media Center to stream recorded tv shows and remotely record tv shows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DJRedLine:
Further Xbox live integration such as the ability to queue downloads (For those that actually have a X360)

Wallpaper Support

Custom Tile Colours

Seperate Volume Controls
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
- Custom Theme and Accent colours

- US only services expanded Worldwide
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Oh, just remembered:

I would like to see a general improvement to Bing's voice recognition and its usage. I would like to compose email with it, and I would like it to start showing onscreen what I said with only a small delay.

Google right now is the gold standard. MS silver. Apple ... non contender in this regard.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I'd like to see:

- Bing services world wide

- an alphabetical jumplist in the games hub

- support for update independent backups in Zune

- the ability to store save games in the cloud

- that damn address bar in IE9 disappear after a few seconds

- the folder icon in e-mails back

- support for deleting all messages and marking all messages as read
[Windows Phone 7 General] paulrockliffe:
MediaBuddy lets you stream from the Windows Media Centre library, not sure if that was one of the features above.

You can also stream from your SkyDrive, but you have to use the Office application to get to the music. You can't pin the folder to your Live Tiles.

I don't use Media Centre, so I'm going to import a sub-set of my music collection to Media Centre that I want available on my phone and see how Media Buddy works with that.

But, the feature really should be in Zune, either via SkyDrive or on through your WiFi Network or a PC-hosted server.

I'd also like a random album feature, so you can play the albums at random.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Recording calls without telling people is against wiretapping laws in a lot of places.

I have no idea why people keep asking for that. It's stupid.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
Ignorant comment. Check your facts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hwalker84:
I'm going to steal some from others

Faster way to kill a task (like flicking up the card when in multi-task view)

Separate volume controls

Voice integrated into everything (compose email, type web address, etc)

Find On Page

smart dialing

When composing a New Text show other fields besides Mobile. People have work Cell phones too

Share a Video via MMS (WTF MS)

Ability to Select all Emails in a Category (So you can mark them unread or place them in a specific folder)

Something like Network Dashboard built into the OS

Battery Percentage

User-customizable accent colors

Something like CineXPlayer or VLC player so I can play files that aren't native to the OS
[Windows Phone 7 General] hwalker84:
I'll also add

Native PDF support. The Adobe PDF app is horrible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] magicsquid:
These ideas would be useful for Microsoft's suggestions box too :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] whistler-nl:
Dutch display language maybe? All other options can be set to Dutch on a trophy but not display language... :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
I don't think so, N8ter is right on that one. If you're doing that in Germany you are able to get sentenced for 3 years in prison.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thezoltar:
Recording calls is NOT illegal everywhere. Why should those who can legally do so suffer because some of you can't? Are you not able to follow your own laws because of temptation?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Most people...Americans...can't control themselves. Here in America, we don't punish the one who commits the crime. We punish the ones who provide the tools for people to abuse and commit crimes with.

It's why America is bankrupt and falling apart. We never hold the guilty parties responsible. That would be too cruel. We have to play mommy and daddy with the populace and save them from themselves by destroying the goodness of useful companies and institutions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
He was speaking for Americans, and even then he was wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws#United_States

It was possible in WM 6.x, it is possible in android, and many dumbphones since early 2000s. What is the difference now? The laws haven't changed.

If your country wants to have insane laws, it's up to you to follow them. I don't live under your laws, and you probably don't want to live under China's.

There is no reason why in call recording should not be included in WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Recheck it. It isn't illegal to record call between you and another party so long as the other party knows they are being recorded. If anyone in US records a call between multiple people without those people being aware, that is illegal.

And speaking of illegal recording, in many states it is now illegal to video record cops and officials. That means if anyone sees a cop Rodney-King'ing someone and they record it with their phone or any other video recording device, they will be arrested and prosecuted.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
Check your reading comprehension - it states that for the vast majority of US states, ONE party must be aware that the conversation is being recorded. That ONE person CAN BE YOU!

Good point about cell phone video recording police to be illegal in some states, WP7, iOS, and Android should definitively remove the video recording function from all future smartphones world-wide, it's the only sensible thing to do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Come on, now! You can't be serious. Are you seriously trying to say that it is meant that the one doing the intentional recording cannot be aware that they are recording? Of course the one doing the recording is aware. The law is meant to indicate that at least one *other* person in the party be aware.

I'd love to hear that argument with the cop when he shows up,

Recording offender: "Sorry officer, I wasn't aware I was recording the call."

Cop: "Well, because you weren't aware, you have to go to jail. Had you been aware you were recording a call, you could have gone free as a bird".

Recording offender: "Damn! Can we start all over"
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
I am serious - and it is fairly common knowledge that you can be the one party in one party consent jurisdictions - please read and think before your next response.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The people who responded trying to flame me are idiots. Read what I wrote, VERBATIM:

That's 100% true, both in the US and in other countries. You cannot record someone against their will. It's why when you call into Customer Service they all tell you your phone may be recorded for training purposes, etc. etc. They can't just record it without telling you, unless it's a police investigation and there is due cause for a "wiretap" (which requires a warrant, signed off by a Judge).

Stop being stupid. It's not something they will put in a smartphone OS. It enables people to do things that are obviously illegal. No carrier would allow that to go through. They wouldn't allow it to stayin the ROM to be enabled by hackers with a reg change either. They'd want it completely ripped out of the firmware, because it's just too dangerous to have there...

It's possible in a lot of Smartphone OSes. It is not a base functionality of the device, however.

And to say the one person can be you, really, it's just a stupid defense (ignorance is not a defense here, BTW, so trying to misinterpret the law intentionally [and later claiming ignorance] will still land you in prison). The doing the recording always knows. You'd get laughed out of court on the way to jail trying to use that defense.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

I want to add that it's pretty hysterical that people who know absolutely nothing about law try to interpret it and argue with you.

And quoting WikiPedia... For shame!
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Thanks guys for hijacking this thread. :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
I don't have the time required to educate you N8, I'm sorry that your own education system has failed you in such a terrible way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Maybe you two could start your own thread to argue about this, since it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
It's not a misinterpretation of the law. Many states are 1 party consent. That means that if you place the call and are recording, you do not need to tell the other party. But, setting your home phone up to record all calls without telling everyone that uses your phone is illegal, because now only you know and you are not a part of the conversation. Some states are all party consent. That means that everyone on the call must be told. With cell phones, the law can be vague. If while in Minnesota, I call someone in Minnesota I can record them without telling them. Minnesota is a 1 party consent state. But, if I call someone in Washington, which is an all party consent state, the laws of the sticter state apply. And what if I call someone's cellphone that normally is in Minnesota, while I am in Minnesota, but that person was in Washington at the time?

Back in November of 2008, the AT&T Fuze did not have the ability to record calls. People claimed that the hardware didn't allow it. The whole conversation of 1 party / all party consent was fully discussed. Then miraculously, people got in call recording working.

I used to use in call recording to capture important voicemails to file, so that I could free up my voicemail.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amlex:
Here's what the most recent US Wire Tapping Bill stated:

It shall not be unlawful under this chapter for a person acting under color of law to intercept a wire, oral, or electronic communication, where such person is a party to the communication or one of the parties to the communication has given prior consent to such interception.

Anyway ...

I'd like to see voice activation access when the screen is turned off.

I agree with being able to kill apps through the multitasking list (maybe an "X" to close in the corner).

Am I the only one that hates the solid colored background used in the multitasking list? I like to see it use more of the Zune History setup where it is a scroll up/down. Something more elegant than what we see now - it just doesn't fit with the rest of the UI.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Think the key phrase there is "under color of law"
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
The biggies still missing for me are:

- Grouping in the app list (same grouping system as People Hub)

- Music Audio scrubbing

- Music Lyric support

- Full phone backup (game saves, SMS, apps) in Zune (can't believe i have to mention this one!!).

- Full Screen browsing in IE

- Notification tray - lets see a full list of toasts received.

- Notifications for email client and build in social media integration.

- Fix Facebook integration (Still a number of my friends posts don't ever show up due to privacy settings)
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
Back on topic please.

Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I would agree with all of these as very useful suggestions, although I don't know what can be done about the Facebook privacy issue. If people don't want to grant access to apps, then there isn't much we can o about it, other than ask them to grant it to us.

As for the grouping of apps, that might be a simple (although not quite perfect) way to address my long-standing request for a favorite apps hub. Being able to create groups would be very useful to me. For example, I'm a weather junkie, so I have over a dozen weather-related apps installed, scattered all over the app list. I don't want to pin all of them to the start screen, but being able to create a "Weather" group and add all of the apps to it would make it a LOT easier to bounce between them. Oh, and it would only make sense to have the same feature in the Games hub :D.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
You have a dozen weather apps? Oh my... What's your top 3?

I still dont have mango, i got Nodo pretty fast... but the official mango update on my Omnia 7 is still not happening. It has to be down Deutsch telekom (t-mobile)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jabtano:
I'm pretty happy with Mango, I did the zune trick to get it. anyway I really would have liked to have seen a color wheel added for the tiles. it can be done without killing the metro look. also I really would like to see a full screen browsing. none the less Mango brought a tone of improvements to the OS. Now all we need is for some really hot devices. Titian and the samy s look really nice. i'm a big screen guy so they appeal to me
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pravind:
Being able to adjust the snooze time for the alarm clock, my gf is going to give me a slap if i carry on pressing snooze every 5 minutes soon

Being able to select and delete multiple text messages either on conversation overview or within a conversation itself just like how you do it in emails would be fine

Being able to hide contacts in peoplehub - I mean I have around 200 people on facebook but I'd only really be interested in calling, texting, checking up on around 50 of them. Would be good if I could hide all the others from default view so they dont clog up my people list.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TTRpwnage:
- Small little app icons on the top part of the screen to notify users of the notifications they get.

- Notification center like iOS 5 and Android

- Widgets ?
