Could always jump to VZW and enjoy their constant outages while I understand that crappy of a speed is as bad as a outage still. Lol hopefully there are some upgrades for ur towers soon.

Edit: yes sad panda great service for constant outages lol what they have had one every month for the last what 3-5 months or more LOL

My data has been horrendous lately. I don't know if its the iPhone people that have joined sprint or something else. I have never had dropped calls until about a month ago, now they drop left and right.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scoobysnacks:
Why is there not an easier way? If you're stuck in a boot loop you would basically be screwed..

Other phones I've owned there was always a way, like hold volume up and power button. Am I just being a noob or is the only way through ROM manager?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Ummm..hold volume up+down while powering on. Release power button when the phone vibrates (continue holding volume up+down)

Where in the world did you get the impression rom manager was the only way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Hold volume up and volume down thn. press power and let go of power while still holding the volume keys. There is an easy way thats it. What made u think there was not?

I'm looking to gamify my Note as much as possible. Thanks to Coldfustion's great video series on the Note, I've got an Rii Bluetooth mini-keyboard on order.

I'm also considering getting the iControlPad, hoping that it can attach to the Note securely. I want to get my Note in the same league as the Play/Vita and other portable gaming devices.

What hardware accessories are you guys using?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
I have two Phonejoy's, a ZeeMote, and use PS3 remotes with mine. Not sure how the iControlPad will go with the Note's size - I see Gametel has a similar design out now too that looks like it'll fit a wider range of handset sizes. I have a few YT vids showing these sorts of things (mostly with an SGSII, but same stuff all works with the Note too).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] eksasol:
I have the iControlPad, but its gathering dust. Let me know of some games you want to test and I'll see if I can get it working with it, as long as I don't have to buy it.

I had the Pandora console and I can tell you its better playing classic games on it than any Android devices.

The Note is the first phone I felt its actually bearable to play using onscreen controls.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DarkShot666:
I just got my Phonejoy analogue controller today, and it's great. The only thing I don't really like about it is it isn't true to term analogue, but the feel is enough for it to be overlooked. All in all a fantastic thing.

Might I point out that while not being as small and have a bracket of sorts as the iControlPad does, it's much cheaper for a genuine controller feel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] psionic11:
I did see the Gametel device online a couple days ago, which in turn led me to the icontrolpad... these are more inline with what I'm looking for at first: a controller that attaches and holds the Note.

Like I said, I'm just getting into the gaming side, and I haven't yet rooted my Note. Here's some games I have that I'd like to use with an icontrolpad or gametel clamp-on type controller:

Shadowgun

Samurai II

GTA III

Asphalt 6HD

Order and Chaos

Pacman

After I root and install the emulators, I'll be checking out Zelda and several Atari games. Maybe FPSe and Final Fantasy games.

I'm also all ears for any other HD MMO's (Chaos Rings supposedly is coming to Android soon)...

P.S. ... Looking to sell your icontrolpad? I'm interested in buying, provided it holds the Note and works with most of the games above? ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fosselman:
I picked up some PS3 controllers and they are awesome. The prices fluctuate so much on Amazon but I managed to get the kit with the controller, HDMI and USB cable for $33 but I see it is back at $60.

I wish there was a clamp to attach the note to the ps3 controller for when I am not attached to the TV. Kind of like these old controllers with lcds in them.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] eksasol:
I can tell you that unless the game itself let you set hard keys or has inate support of hard keys then iControlPad will be useless with it. Since the iControlPad emulates the keyboard and most games relies on touch besides emulators. And not all emulators support iControlPad either, however there seems to be big support of WiiMote and PS3.

I will try some of those games when I have time.

I do notice I can connect a mouse by wire to Note and gets a mouse cursor.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] psionic11:
I meant to reply last nite, but I got distracted with "testing" the games that might be compatible, heheh.

Turns out that most of the modern games I have don't have the option to use external controls. The emulator games, however, do, at least the Atari games I've tried so far. I will be trying out the N64 and other emulators, so those may be compatible.

My main question remains, though. Can the icontrolpad accommodate the Note?

The next question, then, is for everyone else who uses gaming accessories with the Note: are there plenty of decent games which justify using the an external controller? I know NZtech demo'd Super Mario, and Confustion demo'd a few good ones as well....

Perhaps a single gaming accessory is enough (the Rii miniBt) since it does double duty...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] le3ky:
I have a gametel pad which i'll be reviewing in the next couple of days, it supports more games than it says it does which is nice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fosselman:
Can't with the sixaxis controller app you can emulate the screen.

Yes please do I'm debating if I should or shouldn't. Is it too small for the phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] psionic11:
Hey guys, I'm a bit late to the party, but I just discovered the Onlive App that lets you play console-quality games online!

Do the various controllers mentioned in this thread (icontrolpad, gametel, phoneboy, sixaxis) work normally via this app? If so, that would be awesome... :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] psionic11:
Anyone get a chance to test the icontrolpad or gametel yet?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
A bit late to the party, but I thought I would pop in to say I'm working on a 3d-printable project that does exactly that. If all goes according to plan, you should be able to order one from a 3d-printing service for $30-50 (I hope!).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kangal:
Well think about that for a moment.

A screen register is just a signal sent into the mainframe, sort of like a keystroke.

I think it can be emulated.

For instance, a rooted device with a modified Bluetooth stack and adjusted settings could be made to play well. Hitting X on a DS3 controller could register as a screen tap on 1024, 360 (X, Y coordinate) ... which would trigger the "Heavy Attack" command within the Samurai Vengence II App.

In fact, a screen tap would suffice well. Most games requiring movement/pov, have a virtual D-Pad and don't require any Swiping movement... a tap in the right direction triggers your desire. Android supports multiple screen taps, so hitting multiple gamepad buttons can trigger multiple "screen taps" virtually, so no problems!

And this can be fully mapped and navigated using such exploit. So you wont miss out on anything, all Apps can theoretically be navigated easily using a gamepad.

The only problem is: requires root, compatible bluetooth device, lots of time setting up the X,Y coordinates for each different app (or an ability to download/save them as profiles).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] theimaginaryage:
@ekin

An app to do precisely what you describe is apparently in the works from the icontrolpad team.

That said, I'm still hesitant to order the icontrolpad as it looks like the holder may not quite fit the Note. I'm also keen to hear if anyone's successfully used it yet (the holder, not the actual pairing/functionality).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] mousiope:
ever since i saw the gametel at CES i´ve been researching a lot

the gametel will not support the Note i´ve seen a video somewhere where they say the maximum phone size for gametel will be arout the galaxy nexus size.

The Icontrolpad seems to be better than the gametel controller´s, it supports analog buttons and it seems to have more developpment behind it (it´s an older deveice tough).

I just discovered the phonejoy which seems to be the better solution for me, i´ll probably invent/addapt some case around it so it can hold my s2, i can´t seem to find it for sale in europe though i know they ship it worldwide but i´d rather buy it here ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] mousiope:
can someone tell me the difference between phonejoy and the ps3 controller configuration/compatibility wise?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] mkoger:
I use my ps3 controllers with my sixaxis program and I sit roughly 12ft away from my tv. I just have the hdmi from the phone to the tv and leave it on my ent. center. All emulators work well with sixaxis. You can connect up to 4 controllers, I only have 2 but they work fine. No problems so far.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] mousiope:
what about regular android games with the ps3 controller
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] psionic11:
There are several options for connecting a controller remotely to the Note... all excellent for making the Note a portable game console.

I'm still wondering if the iControlPad will support the Note more as a portable Vita or gameboy-in-your-pocket. I want to have a controller in my pocket that I can pull out and snap onto the Note for a mobile game controller experience.

I hesitate on the iControlPad because even if it did fit the Note, seems is would be very top-heavy and almost unplayable. But it does look tempting. Wish a current iControlPad owner with a Galaxy Note would give the up or down on using the iControlPad as a portable game controller or not.

Sixty dollars is a big chunk to throw down on an idea that might not work and might be better served with a $35 SixAxis controller...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
The iControlPad was originally made to work with the iPhone/iPod...too small to work straight out of the box I think.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
"Project Andraxis" is almost ready, I expect to upload it to the 3d printing site sometime in the next few days, at which point there will be around a two week wait (due to the website being behind on orders) before I get to try it out myself. Once I have it uploaded, I'll give other people the chance to give it a try as well, though it will probably take some post-processing to get it to fit perfectly. Oh, and the cost is going to be pretty close to 25 USD to get it printed, minus shipping.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fosselman:
Not sure why you wrote so much, just root your phone and then buy the app. If you have the time to type this much then you have the time to setup profiles.

Very cool. Looking forward to buying one.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

You have to setup a profile for each game but you can emulate the buttons using sixaxis.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kangal:
That's awesome.

Since you have experience with 3D computer graphics, can you do a quick mockup of the Note-attached to the holder-attached to the PS3 controller.

I want to see how the shoulder pads are accessible.

How well the joint will perform.

How the clamp attaches at the front to the controller

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Well its obvious.

It CAN be done. It HAS NOT been done yet.

A post above says that's what the OP/iCPad Team are working on, which would be awesome.

If you HAVE DONE this, can you attach your app so everyone else can enjoy.

Nothing? Didn't think so!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fosselman:
When you originally quoted me it was in reference to the Sixaxis app, which can be found here:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en

You can do touch profiles that allow you to use your PS3 controller to do the on screen actions. A thread has been started here with people sharing their profiles.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kangal:
Wow, I wasn't informed of this development. I've always used CMod to connect PS3, it doesn't need the App because it uses the AOSP BlueToothStack.

Is this functionality closed, or can others utilize this feature for different wireless gamepads.

I have PS3 controllers, but I think those who dont have a PS3 or have a 360 instead wouldn't want to pay $40+ for it.

The cheap alternatives can sometimes even be better (comfort/battery wise), so people would prefer to purchase those for this reason.

Or even mould a case unto a cheap wireless controller, I know some done that, so this feature would really be useful.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
I can give you a basic idea.

The shoulder buttons should be fully accessible, the only areas that might be a bit iffy are the triangle button, and start and select. Triangle might be partially obscured by the phone, and start and select will be surrounded by the cover, and might be a little tough to press. This is minor stuff that can be addressed with a razor and sand paper for the initial release, and modified for future revisions.

The joint is probably going to be rather loose, a limitation of 3d-printing is you need 0.5-0.7mm gaps between parts or they'll fuse together in the printing. Shouldn't be a problem though, I designed it so the bottom portion of the clamps are attached to the body so as long as you have the phone clamped down tight, the hinge should be locked down too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kangal:
I wish there was a better quality iControlPad for larger Android devices.

Especially if it can connect through the 3.5mm headset to provide the transmission (saving the need for a battery, and saving the NOTE's battery life for extended play).

Especially if there was native support for it..... damn we need some Heckendorn here!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fosselman:
I wonder if when this becomes available if you could just buy the controller part.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/11/wikipad-prototype-ces-2012-hands-on/

Looks like it plugs in through the mini usb. This is for an 8 inch device so there would quite a bit of room in there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] mousiope:
any news?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
It should be arriving this week. When it does I'll go public with it and make an official thread about it. and maybe some youtube videos. I just want to make sure nobody orders it and ends up with a worthless hunk of plastic because of an unexpected error in printing (though I expect plenty of small errors, so better get your razors, sandpaper, and rubber tack ready just in case).

The project is going to be 100% donation driven. It costs me around 50 dollars to print one out (due to shipping), and as long as I have enough donation money I will keep revising it and making it better.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] evil-doer:
i really dont like the look of that pinch clamp part that holds it together. thats not secure and can break very easily. and that could mean a phone drop.. have you thought about some kind of twist clamp or even a post with a hole in it for a pin to go in, or anything else?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
The current plan is to use rubber tack to add some traction to the gripping prongs. If it still seems a little weak after that, I will try a drastic redesign. Since I don't have it in my hands just yet, I don't know what design aspects work or don't work just yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] akromatic:
anyone tried modding the icontrolpad universal holder to fit the note?

http://www.cideko.com/pro_con.php?id=38 i found this and apparently there is a version that works with PC and PS3, anyone wanna give it a try for the note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
Update: Ups managed to attempt all three deliveries while I was away at work so I won't be seeing it until Tuesday or Wednesday.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kangal:
Will be patiently waiting with your review, photos, etc.

From what I am told, plastics printed via 3Dprinter are usually inferior to factory made ones.

I'm told that they tend to "dry up" and crack much easily.

If that were to happen the PS3 controller would be fine, but it could mean an expensive brick (especially if it falls into a gutter, into a puddle, into a wedding cake;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
The material I will be using will be flexible and there are no issues with degredation that I am aware of.

That said, I read that it does react to UV light and would need a few layers of varnish to keep it from yellowing. The texture is also grainy and difficult to sand. None of this affects the performance of the project though, and if it really takes off in popularity I might make different versions designed for different materials.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
It came in! But its really not in any shape for other people to be buying them. There are a few minor issues, but the biggest one is that the thing is too small to fit around the PS3 controller. Once I correct this I will open it up for people to get them, probably expect this to be done before the end of the week.

Until then, here's the youtube video I promised:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcuRRwbN0Kk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kangal:
I like it so far.

But what I don't like is the DualShock3/PS3 controller. The PS2 controller was as good as it gets, but now I'm all grown up and its a pain to use! Just to paint a picture, my hands are XL size, I can grip a basketball single-handedly, some call it "spider hands".

Which is why I've been looking for a larger version, the runner ups were Gioteck HF2 (expensive, and Xbox style joystick is a downer) and Polaroid PS3 (most comfortable but needs usb plugin) controller.

But I have found one suitable for replacement: Datel Turbo Fire 2.

It is perfect in everyway except the directional buttons are tacky/make noise, and relies on 2x AA batteries (you can put in a rechargable ones if you want, lol).

It connects to your PC or PS3 as a "PS3 controller" so there should be no trouble of using this with CM7+ or the Sixaxis App.

It is larger and more comfortable/ergonomic, your sweaty hands dont slip off, it has 'Turbo Fire' which can *cheat* some games (eg/ you sniper rifle becomes a powerful assault rifle in MW3)

I will spend this weekend going through your design and improving it. I'll also send you a draft for the Datel TF2 wireless controller. If possible, my NOTE attached to the TF2 should make for a great PS Vita replacement!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
Sure thing, if you give me it's measurements I will make one for that as well. Be sure to confirm it works with the sixaxis application though, the creator has said that certain 3rd party controllers don't work so well.

I am just about finished with revision one, though I am out of my house right now so launching everything will have to wait.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
The first attempt looks nice, my only concern would be that the surface area behind the device does not seem to provide enough stability. It seems likely to pivot. Could the "arm" be tapered or curved to be wider at the hinge end?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gilrad:
I made the hinge portion of the clamp much wider in the next revision. I also added a small groove in the telescoping arm where you can put some rubber tack in order to have extra stability along the backside of the phone.

Anyway, I just launched the official thread on this project, please redirect any more questions and concerns here. Thanks!

I´ve done a little bit of modding myself using the ps3 controller and a gps mount for the galaxy s2 i´ve used a single metal piece, rectangular shaped glued to the controller and screwed to the gps mount i didn´t liked the way it looked nor the weight distribution since the phone has to be a little far from the controller so the LR buttons are accessible my question now is icontrolpad or gametel? which one is better ?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zamboqdb:
I've purchased the iControlPad from ebay and, after different attempts, I'm happy to say that I can connect the iControlPad with the Note (I've downloaded BluezIME from the market and it recognizes the iControlPad) BUT unfortunately the MD.EMU can't access the bluetooth and while BluezIME says the iCP is connected, when I click on "scan for ICP" the emulator gives me an error saying "BLUETOOTH NOT ACCESSIBLE".

I haven't a bluetooth module on my pc so I'll have to buy one just to update the firmware of the iCP.. But it seems to me that there is a huge compatibility problem..

Second thing to say, the universal holder can't accomodate the Note (obv) and I'm gonna build a similar holder but longer.. ;)

Any one is having the same problem with iControlPad & Galaxy Note?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zamboqdb:
Finally I've got it working with the Note.. At least with the MD.EMU emulator! I just had to practice a little with BluezIME, then I had just to change the binds in the settings of MD.EMU and it worked. Instead with MAME4Droid it won't work.. I can change the binds in the settings and assign the iCP keys to each function but when I start a game (for instance Metal Slug) it doesn't work.. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ciphray:
I was able to get my iControlPad to fit my note very nicely, I did need to drill a new hole in the universal holder, but it's nice and snug, and it even fits while in my TPU case, Had i made the fit a bit less snug i wouldn't have had to trim a small piece out of the rubber grips as it was pushing my volume down at first, but i do like the extra piece of mind that it's not going to budge from where it's at while in there.
