Hey guys, I'm having difficulty getting my PS3 controller working with my Prime. I did the setup as listed above and under Bluetooth settings, the controller is listed as a paired device. The Bluetooth MAC address of my controller is also the same as the address of my Prime, I verified this through an application on my PC.

When plugged in via USB with Bluetooth off, the controller doesn't work until I press the PlayStation button. The LEDs will flash quickly and the controller inputs are received by my Prime. After about 10 seconds pass, the controller shuts off and no inputs are accepted.

The above behavior is exactly the same when I turn Bluetooth on as well. If I try to use it wirelessly through Bluetooth however, inputs are not received by my Prime even though it is listed as being connected under my Bluetooth settings. Again, after 10 seconds, the controller will turn off and it is no longer listed as being connected.

Doesn't make much sense to me, I'm not sure why the controller turns itself off after 10 seconds when connected via USB, and why any inputs through Bluetooth have no effect when connected.

I don't know if this makes any difference, but in the picture posted above, the PS3 controller has a joystick icon next to it under the paired devices. On my list of paired devices, it displays a keyboard.

has anyone tried this with a knockoff controller. i know the app had issues with non genuine controllers but i would love to get one fo those $15 ones for my tablet if possible.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bandin03:
Can you elaborate? I'm having the same problem as the poster above you. I used the Sixaxis Pair Tool to manually enter my Prime's address, the prime detects it just fine but when I try to pair it, it asks for a PIN. I'd really like to get this working without having to buy a dock or USB dongle.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] bluebrew:
Interesting! Will try it soon!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] player911:
You'd still probably use the PC tool to put your Transformers MAC in the controller.

Asus TF101 ICS 4.0.3
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] RoosterX:
I have the same problem as you, i also have a keyboard icon. I bought my dualshock 3 on ebay, and first i thought it was faulty or something, but it did work in windows using ds3 tool.

Did you find a solution to this?

[Edit]

I believe i found out what could be the most likely cause of this on my controller, it is not a original ps3 controller.. so i guess ill just throw it in the bin, and maybe get a real one. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] player911:
I wouldn't toss it. The PS3 has as a proprietary system so they should all be on the same standard.

Just use the DualShock3 program from the market to test. The latest version also allows you to map hotspots to key presses so you can play games that don't have built in button assignments.

So while it may run without it, I would still use the method we've always had. I dont see problem with requiring a 3rd party app... it worked well.

EXT LTE Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.4

Asus Transformer - ICS
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Wallzii:
No I haven't been able to get it working natively on my device yet. I have also seen posts from other people that have this working that shows a keyboard icon instead of the joystick, so I guess that has no bearing.

Regarding the 3rd party app, I was hoping to not root my device until I get back to Canada. I am in Asia travelling right now and wish to keep everything stock until I am home in case anything happens. I do not have a laptop with me so there is no means to salvage anything should something go wrong.

And the search continues...!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] player911:
I understand the travel part. Well you could always buy one from Walmart (or foreign equivalent) that you could return it too if you don't have better results.

I like the sixaxis app because it just works. It sucks to have to launch the app prior to using the controller... and I don't think it works natively in ALL games without some sort of button or screen mapping. But for emulators it is a dream.

From what you describe, the controller turns on then off, it sounds like the two aren't pairing properly or the controller doesn't see your tablet. You need to make sure you use the PC to type in the Bluetooth MAC address to the controller...... Come to think of it, the knock-off controller might not be saving the MAC address of your tablet the same way a real DualShock controller does. Your essentially hacking the controller... and the knock-off might have a different flash process entirely.

I just tried to Pair my PS3 controller to my ICS Transformer. Initially it showed the Controller when searching, then it asked for a pin. Before I could type it in, it disappeared. Now it won't even display, and the controller just flashes for a minute.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] runderekrun:
Haha yep exactly whats happening to me. If you restart your transformer it will find it the first time (at least it did mine). I still can't get mine working. This would be amazing if I got this to work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] player911:
Hmmm. Maybe try to enter the pin really fast?

EXT LTE Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.4

Asus Transformer - ICS
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] runderekrun:
But what's the pin?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Wallzii:
I've had my Prime give me a pin for my controller a couple times as well and ask me to input the pin on my controller, which makes no sense as this just isn't possible.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xebozone:
That is awesome!

I noticed that only the first analog stick actually works (I'm testing it with N64oid on my Transformer Prime), does anyone else have this issue? Perhaps a solution? Or is this just an issue with N64oid.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] letsgophillyingeneral:
What games actually support the gamepad or sixaxis controller? Do you still have to use the Sixaxis Controller app with touch profiles?

Thanks in advance
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] letsgophillyingeneral:
Bump. Anyone have any examples?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] showson1:
DUDE!

Thank you so much for this post, it worked fantastically.

I just got a (barely) used TF101 for a really good price and I've been avoiding upgrading to ICS since I read about how the wired Xbox controller won't work anymore.

Then I did a search for PS3 controller and found your post.

Well, I took the plunge, upgraded to ICS and tried pairing the Ps3 controller and... worked flawlessly.

When I had it plugged in by USB it showed as a keyboard, but then when I unplugged it switched to a joystick and works flawlessly.

This is even better than the wired solution.. no cables = win! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] letsgophillyingeneral:
What games did you play that utilized the PS3 controller?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] runderekrun:
If you get it connected this way, it should work like any controller connected natively. Some Android games will work (off the top of my head GTA3 and Shadowgun) and emulators.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] showson1:
It works with Shadowrun and Shine Runner natively.

Then I got a PC game to work in Splashtop HD... I outlined that in this thread:

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] lacrossev:
After i got my controller paired up natively, i disabled the input profile in the bt device option for the pad itself, that allowed me to keep the pair but to basically have it do nothing. Then i was able to get the sixaxis app to recognize the pad while it was still connected via bluetooth, but nothing going on. I can now basically switch between native support and sixaxis emulation depending on what game i need to play. I haven't gone too far in to the mapping setups but i've confirmed it works, the problem is that without native support is hard to get it to navigate menus and such, and games that require the accelerometer won't work, such as NFS hot pursuit, i can get all the controls working except steering since theres no other way to steer in the options.

I'm going to guess that most action games that have dual on screen stick support will gain the most benefit out of the sixaxis app, while the possibilities for natively supported games are much more broad.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mrgv:
Works with any device running ICS?

Does this pairing with the sixaxis work with any device/phone running ICS? For example a Nexus S running ICS??? If not, why?

Thanks.

how do i do this??? i have it paired and can play shadowgun no problem at all but would love to have usb/bt control working also

I have got a PS3 controller working and it's amazing.

Has anyone tried to key map on the Mupen64 Plus emulator? What is the best way to map out a 64 controller on a PS3 controller? My issue is trying to figure out how to map the C keys.

My PS3 wireless controller is working great.

But the 4 red lights on the controller continue to blink even after it is connected via bluetooth. Is there any way to stop them from blinking?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SheaCom:
Anyone know of any third-party ps3 controllers that work? I remember seeing a thread a while back about a wired gamestop ps3 controller that worked via usb buuuut I can't find it anymore? I mean, dualshock 3's can't be the only controller that work with a tf101 and Onlive... that's ridiculous.

I want to purchase a PS3 bluetooth controller for game play like Reptide GP in ASUS EEE PAD tf101, will below mentioned low-cost controller work for it:

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/dualsh...ixaxis-controller-for-ps3-black-47671?item=20

Has anyone else tried PS3 bluetooth controller other than original from SONY? If that worked then above mentioned controller may also work.

I am not a big gamer, but like to play Riptide GP using it. Just need to know if this can be used with TF101 or not before buying it.

Thanks

Has anyone tried to pair a Sixaxis/DS3 with any other ROM than the stock one ? I am trying with AOKP (b37 and b38) but I can only use it with USB (that's is good, but my cable isn't long enough for using it with TV ^^'). My TF doesn't find my DS3 when I activate BT.

Thanks =)

I just purchased SONY's PS3 wireless controller. Can someone please help me in pairing this to my ASUS TF101 tablet, which is running latest ASUS release (.24) and have not rooted. I do not have dock and USB adapter as well. So, how can I pair it with my tablet ? Can it be done with the help of PC ? If yes, can someone please share the link ?

Edit: Done. Able to finally connect PS3 bluetooth controller to TF101. No short-cuts availble, had to root my transformer 1st and Many Thanks to @Thing O Doom, who recently provided 1-click root tool for .24 firmware at below location:

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DangKid:
How do you end up connecting the controller with the tablet? I have the Sixaxis app along with root access. My controller is already connected to the PS3, do I need to reset it?

Edit: nvm, i figured it out.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ithorien:
Bleh I cannot get this going and I'm following everything to the letter.

I wonder if it's because I'm on a different ROM, but I can't get it to pair bluetooth at all. Sixaxis program does the test but native bluetooth won't pair because of the damn PIN. Anyone have any ideas on what the PINs on these are?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dlads:
Use USB/BT Joycenter for pads like the xbox pad, sixaxis controller for ps3 and the cheapo usb pad's like the ones u get on amazon for a fiver work natively, well they do on the SGS3, should be good on the prime too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Jason_V:
You can always get the $17 USB dongle if you don't want the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] fear676:
If the usb Dongle is purchased and I decide to attach a xbox controller to it would the Asus pick up the controller automatically?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] wpbear:
So this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en) is no longer required? Android just made this developer obsolete?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xebozone:
To connect a controller and use , this is not required, but there is no way to configure or map anything natively, and using the app allows you to create game configs for games and apps with no game controller support with it's screen-to-button mapping and button re-assignment options.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] guttertrash:
I was hoping this meant I could control my ps3 with my tablet (like a remote - not the controller). Now I want to go see if that's possible
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Rod2k:
Couple of questions:

Anyone tried to connect the TF101 with the PS3 controller over Bluetooth and got it to work?

Does the controller work with no need for any middleware such as the Bluez-IME or the USB/BT JC6?

If so, does the PS3 Bluetooth controller work with games like, say, Shadowgun: Deadzone, Max Payne, GTA, Gameloft games?

So far, my experience with controllers is frustrating. I have recently bought a X360 Wired controller, just to figure out that it does NOT work with my TF101 and then I bought the Phonejoy Bluetooth controller, it works but supported games are too few.

It drives me crazy the developers make their games to work with touch screen only. Why not give us both the touch screen AND compatibility for any third party controller? How hard can that be?

Please answer my questions above, thanks.

Thanks so much for this thread, I had no idea ICS had out-of-box support for a PS3 controller, I'm happy just using OTG and a usb cable without using bluetooth, but it's cool to know that's there too. I've been having so much fun playing classics and a few Google Play apps with the SIXAXIS. :good:

multiple bluetooth controllers?

Hello,

I am considering getting an android stick for emulator purposes. I am sorry if this is an obvious question, will 2 controllers or more pair to an android device and function properly (lag-wise) over bluetooth? is this emu-depenedent?

So to answer my own question (that forum search while you're making new thread thing is awesome btw),

it is possible to have up to 4 ps3 controllers in 6axis app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] :
Does this work on Jelly bean too? I can use my sixaxis with the OTG cable to my Nexus 7 but it's not pairing with bluetooth. What am I doing wrong...?

I am not rooted. Thanks in advance!

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] reidLinden:
I too am having the same issue. My Note 3 can use the controller over the OTG cable, but there seems no way to get it to recognize the bluetooth part of the setup, and I'm unwilling to root my new phone (just yet)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] en11gma:
i been using the xbox 360 controller with wireless receiver with OTG cable.

i had been thinking about getting the sixaxis or dualshock 3 controller so i didnt have to have that big wireless receiver for xbox 360

in /system/usr/keylayout (i believe) are all the *.k1

i was in there and i had to add one for the xbox 360 wireless controller

they are all named Vendor_ etc...Product

ANYHOW i do see the file already there for the sixaxis and dualshock3 as they both have the same exact vendor id and product id

i believe this is how the ps3 and xbox 360 controller works when plugged in by usb

ANYHOW again.... have you tried entering the BT MAC ADDRESS of the PHONE into the tool you use on pc to program the ps3 controller (BACKWARDS)

to my understanding one is little endian and one is big endian so it has to be entered in REVERSE ORDER

try that out

im gonna get a ps3 controller i believe so i will be able to help out more.

i was doing my research before i got the controller as i believe we dont need root for the ps3 to get this done.

i think you all just arent entering the PHONE BT MAC address into the controller in reverse.

before i think the play store app (sixaxis controller) couldnt get the BT mac address from the phone. (it wasnt in "about device/status") like it is with ICS and JB/

now that it is natively available on non-rooted devices i dont think we need "sixaxis controller" app anymore

you just goto that about device/status/bt mac address and take that to the pc and put it in reverse order then program the controller

should pair fine at this point.

like i said cant test but from what i read in my research i think thats the problem you guys are having :)

if not....my bad. i read the first 2 pages in this thread and then the last page and it seems like every reply is the same thing

good luck if someone gets to test it out before me :)
