[Nexus 10 Accessories] Fissurez:
the ps3 controller is not a "native game pad." it's not designed to work on everything, just the PS3.

hell, it's complicated enough getting it to work on a PC.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] alias_neo:
The point is, Android supports PS3 controllers and Xbox controllers, yes, game developers have to implement it, but there are alternative means if they don't.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] PlanetJumble:
Game developers don't write drivers for gamepads. They are either in the system itself (like Samsung provides for some models e.g. Galaxy S3) or can be added with Apps like Sixaxis. The games themselves only have to react to key events.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] squshy 7:
I think the point he meant is that it is up to game developers to add in alternative control options, I.e. an option to support the native game pad drivers in Android. Apps like six axis are only necessary because most game developers have yet to add in anything but on screen controls.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] corwinmortac:
Still waiting for my N10....but on my TF101 and TF700 I had native PS3 wired support post ICS. There are specific games that are optimized for this so that you can map out the buttons in game. Shadowgun and Dead Reckining are the first two that come to mind. Just search for android games with controller support, play store entries normally tell you if its supported or not....most EA games are not...
[Nexus 10 Accessories] PlanetJumble:
That is what I meant with reacting to key events (gamepad signals are a subset of that).

Sixaxis does more than just mapping gamepad controlls to touch events (though that is indeed cool). It lets you remap all the buttons to whatever you want. That way you can use two controllers for e.g. MAME second player, where Android normaly does only know one controller (judging by names of key event keys, correct me if I am wrong). Also, it does allow using Sixaxis controllers via Bluetooth.

Trying to configure

Hey guys, I'm in the process of trying to connect the nexus 10 up to a sixaxis controller.

I've rooted my device and have downloaded the compatibility checker. When trying to run the compatibility checker, it is responding with: "Could not start driver. Check that your device is rooted and has been given permission to run".

I've double checked fastboot, and can see the open lock icon when booting so I'm pretty confident it's rooted. I've got super user installed but don't receive a prompt when running the app.

Has anyone else tried, or experienced similar? Is this just the response when your device is incompatible?

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

Okay, well looks like I misunderstood slightly. It turns out that unlocking the bootloader does not grant root access.

Looks like I'll have to wait until someone managed to root it!

Whoops.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] ce-4:
Bard's Tale works out of the box with the PS3 controller. USB-attached only right now, however. But it does work.

There's also another thread that has a kernel with HIDRAW support. That's most probably all what sixaxis needs in order to work (See more here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34429135&postcount=72 )
[Nexus 10 Accessories] yumcax:
Sixaxis controller doesn't work yet with 4.2. I've talked to the developer, he says he is re-writing the bluetooth drivers because Google introduced a new bt stack in 4.2. He says he hopes to release the update with support within a week.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] tywilson:
cool thanks for the info!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Doubler9:
yes it works

yes you can use a micro usb to female usb cable
[Nexus 10 Accessories] yumcax:
Do you mean OTG? There is a difference between that and micro -> standard. OTG cables short the 5th pin to ground.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] xXFallenXx:
sixaxis doesn't work on 4.2 (...yet). The bluetooth stack is screwed up. I've updated to 4.2.1 and sixaxis still doesn't work for me. :(

I used it a lot with my galaxy nexus with 4.1, but it too is now on 4.2. Argh.

So don't get a N10 with the intent to use it with a ps3 controller. Not until a fix is released. Using an xbox 360 controller with usb otg should work however (that may be true about the ps3 controller as well, since there is a keylayout for the ps3 controller in system/usr/keylayout/ but I couldn't get it working with my usb otg)

Looking for the root wallpaper folder. I can't seem to find it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
The what? Root is describe as exactly that, the root of your device which is "/" in any file explorer..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] d3athb4dishonor:
The folder where the default wallpapers are. I been trying to change my lockscreen to something I've downloaded but it seems like selecting it from the regular gallery doesn't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Are you running a custom ROM? From gallery you should be able to set current picture as background. But on custom ROMs you can have a completely different picture for your lock screen than what a set as your home screen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Actually you can set them separately on stock based roms as well.

And putting your picture in another location probably won't fix the problem. Sounds like you're on a JB rom. Some of those had some issues with this. You may be able to set wallpaper by going through the settings menu. Or try pressing menu while on homescreen and select set wallpaper.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Stock based ROM is settings>display> choose which you want to change.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] d3athb4dishonor:
Thanks I guess it's just an issue with the JB ROM.

I'd go with the nexus 4... can always be sure that it gets the latest android version. Concerns with nexus 4 if you need a lot of storage... only has 16gb. (I prefer 16gb all local vs. having an emmc) Also some are concerned about the glass backing. (I wouldn't be TOO concerned w/ the glass backing... you could throw a case on it... I also heard of the possibility of different back panels). Any benefits the GS III provides would be offset by the price imo.

My Sony Tablet S is a 4.0.3 release 5. I need to root my device so that I can change the region so that I can use more apps. (I can't use course smart and I need that for college:crying:.) Also I read somewhere that only after rooting this tablet, you can move apps to the sd card. This would be GREAT because I am running out of space on my device.

Here's the most simple method I have found. Will this work for my version:confused:? androidadvices.com/root-unroot-change-region-sony-tablet-tutorial/2/ (A broken link because I am prevented from posting a link.)

If you have something that will work, PLEASE link it and explain to me as simple as possible.

[HTC One S] alextheman:
I have a One S on T-Mobile USA. I had the phone since the day it was released 6 months ago. A wierd noise started 2 weeks ago when trying to dial a phone number. As soon as I hit "call" and even before it starts ringing, you can hear a white noise similar to what you hear on a TV with no signal. The noise will stay throughout the call.

The issue happens the same way on received calls. My wife has a similar phone and no issue on her end. It is not ties to a specific location.

I tried diagnosing it with T-Mobile tech support, and at the end they replace the phone. New phone arrived yesterday and same issue exists!!!! I had the SIM card replaced today and no change.

Any suggestions?

[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Nearly on every custom rom I have used, whatsapp is not working perfectly. My sent messages and messages I received are delivered very late sometimes. I do not use wifi sleep setting when screen is off, wifi is always on. And if there is no wifi, mobile data is on. When I reply a message, then the conversation is ok and occurs real-time. But if I don't touch the phone for a long time, incoming messages are not received instantly. And if I start a conversation my sent messages are not delivered for a long time (again sometimes).

Has anyone had this issue? And if it is common, can you propose a solution?
[HTC Desire S] oddoneout:
Don't have any issues on my phone.

Are messages still delayed when you use a different wifi connection? Is background data enabled? Have you tried clearing data and reinstalling?
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Generally I suffer this issue on my home wifi. But sometimes it occurs outside with mobile data on. What settings should I check in my home wifi settings?

I flash a new rom with a clean install once in every two days. So I install whatsapp again when I flash a rom. I also tried to clear data, uninstalling and reinstalling. But it is no use. I have this issue for 5-6 months.
[HTC Desire S] oddoneout:
So the issue is with your home network? Is your wifi set to always stay on during sleep?

If there is such an option in your router, try increasing the bandwidth prioritization of your device. Also change your security to WPA if you're using WPA2 since it uses more advanced encryption algorithms and may be causing network problems with your device.

Bear in mind that the issue may also be with your ISP.
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Wifi is always on during sleep.

I also checked the modem security, it uses WPA.

It is so annoying but I guess it is not fixable easily. Even whatsapp shows a warning when installing that says `on custom ROMs you can experience problems.` So I do not have a big hope but someone can come with a solution, so I will wait till then.
[HTC Desire S] oddoneout:
Whatsapp works perfectly fine on all of the custom roms that I've tried. Maybe your ISP is throttling Whatsapp traffic for some reason, perhaps you should call them and enquire.

Honestly though I still think there are too many variables. Does browsing on your phone work fast? Have you tried connecting another device with Whatsapp to your wifi?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I took part in an identical thread to this in the General forum a while back. I'm not even sure if the OP actually resolved his issue, but we became fairly confident that it was either his ISP or his network hardware causing the delay.
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
I know there are too many variables and I do not have a clue. I do not think it is related with custom roms. I specified it because I didn't use the stock rom too much and there is a warning when installing whatsapp with custom roms. But now I don't think that's the source of the problem. It is because of the wifi network or because of my ISP. My friends with Android devices also have this issue when they are connected to my home wifi.

Browsing on my phone is OK.

This is exactly the same problem I have. Thank you for the thread. I think it is a rare occasion and related with wifi settings or ISP. I will try to check router settings if there is any unusual setting and will report if any.
[HTC Desire S] oddoneout:
That couldn't have been any more subtle.

I couldn't care less how many 'thanks' I get, but I am getting more and more pi$$ed-off by seeing noobs here who seem to be incapable of pressing the 'Thanks' button, but insist on typing 'Thanks' in a thread instead. Maybe the settings for XDA should be changed, so that until a new user has created 50 useful posts and thanked at least 10 times they have their 'noob' status removed?

I find it interesting that the OP had absolutely no problem with me posting what I did, and yet you felt the need to come out of the Sensation forum just to stick your oar in :rolleyes:

The 'THANKS' button is there to stop people filling up threads with useless posts and to stop you getting modified of a new post in a thread unnecessarily.

Unfortunately newbies don't seem to realise its existence and a subtle reminder often helps. Given your stats you haven't taken much part in the XDA community, but how many times have you been notified of a new post in an interesting development thread and when you went to read it you found it was just someone who had posted 'Thank You' instead of pressing the button?

If you've got a problem with me, next time bring it to me on PM where it should be :banghead:

i have a custom rom on my windows phone and the clock is bugged and is forever changing the time and date, once my t+d is far enough out i start having issues with whatsapp, particually with the sending or recieving of images or video, when i correct the time and date it works fine again.

So I liked it when the home screen didn't auto-rotate, now with the recent update it auto-rotates. Is there any way to revert back to where only the Home screen did not auto-rotate?

I’m not talking about the locking the rotate function as this locks it for everything not just the home screen, I want to restore the original function that only locked the home screen in portrait mode and auto-rotated to landscape when using any other apps such as the browser and what not.
