I'm breathing life back into any old thread I can find that has this question. I just got the EVO 3D and once my mhl cable comes, I'm gonna be rockin the emulator over HDMI to my tv, and would LOVE to be able to just use my PS3 controller. We need to get on this STAT.

I'm willing to help in any way possible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WONGLONGSOOK:
just use a emulator and download the Ps3 drivers to your pc,then if you have a pc with HDMI you can connect it to your TV.....why would you use your phone when you can run any kind of console with your pc...lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danialhanson:
Because I can't take my PC with me anywhere I go...

If I could do it through the phone I could play on my TV while I'm home, but also on the go anywhere that I have my phone, without having to export/import save files or play two separate games.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WONGLONGSOOK:
well...you will have to use bluetooth to connect the controller to your phone,the phone can't power that device on usb....

sorry,but the only thing I can find is for the WII....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danialhanson:
Yeah, that's the plan. Hoping to somehow link the controller for use with the phone. PS3 is tricky though because it requires a USB connection to a device in order to pair with it. I'm hoping to use a PC as an intermediary to 'introduce' them to each other and then it should (in theory) just be a matter of collecting/interpreting button press data and mapping it to the correct buttons in the phones emulator.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WONGLONGSOOK:
kinda old but has to be a way for Android.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH_NBKtj0R8
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danialhanson:
I'll check this out on my lunch. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
You are out of luck when trying to pair PS3 controller to Android. Can't be done at the moment.

Best bet is still the Wii remote (can use the classic controller as well) or purchasing a special type bluetooth gamepad off the net (just search Google and there are a few to choose from that do work well).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danialhanson:
I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe that two bluetooth devices based on Linux can't somehow be paired. Maybe extra hardware needs to be introduced, and there'll probably be some reverse engineering involved, but if they can connect a wiimote to Android, and a ps3 controller to a windows phone, there has to be a way to make this work...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merak69:
It may not be able to be done with the EVO yet but it can be done. I've done it natively on my Xoom with emulators many times.

http://www.androidcentral.com/using-ps3-controller-motorola-xoom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danialhanson:
That's awesome. That's the kind of encouraging thing that makes me believe this can be done. Perhaps there's a way to force the pairing with one of those cables and then wirelessly sync from that point on. Were you able to try that at all with the Xoom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
you're doing it with a cable though, so at that point its just a standard usb input device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo4eva:
How about just playing the games that you already have on available on your phone. I don't see this ever working especially with sonys ****ty products.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
this is also why I have all manner of game systems and PCs hooked up to my tvs/projectors:

I like being able to take phone calls or respond to text messages without having to exit my game....lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danialhanson:
True but I like the idea of taking the game WITH me so if I'm stuck somewhere bored with nothing to do I can pick up where I left off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnequickiii:
Pretty much I heard it comes down to being able to pair the thing with the phone. Maybe drivers too.

I'd say that, at least from a hardware perspective, all you should need is a wire that would plug into both of them. Haven't the slightest idea what you'd need from the software side though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merak69:
You have to use a cable. The ps3 controller may be Bluetooth but it uses a non standard protocol, rendering it completely incompatible with our evo's Bluetooth stack. People had to write custom drivers from the ground up to get the ps3 controller to work on the PC, but that jacks up your ability to use other normal Bluetooth functions (at least the last time I tried a month or two ago, it still did).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthBelan:
Instead of necroing a thread in the Evo 4G forums, how about posting this in the Evo 3D forums. I mean, that is the phone you have. Just sayin'.
[Windows Phone 7 General] badgaz:
Then isn't that blocking manufacturers from competing with iPhone 4's 960x640 'Retina Display' straight from the get go?

I know they will no doubt be able to make some cracking looking screens at that resolution but it is a bit disheartening to know that it can never meet the resolution of the iPhone, and I imagine by the end of the year there will be several competing Android devices that have matched that resolution too.

Do you think Microsoft will stick to this requirement?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Unaufhaltsam:
Seems like Microsoft wants to make sure all devices run perfect at launch in hopes of rave reviews for WP7 so all the limitations. I suspect them to open it up very quickly after launch so it doesn't get left behind.
[Windows Phone 7 General] daSmirnov:
I'd rather them hang on for a bit to be honest. The only reason the iPhone's new screen is that resolution is simply because its double the last one. So they can easily resize content for the screen. It's only 10-15% higher pixel density than phones we've already got, so not that big of an improvement, unless you're comparing it to the other iPhones of course.

Might as well wait a year or so and go for 1280x720. Better to standardise the platform on a resolution like that every couple of years than to have lots of inbetween resolutions competing and wasting developer resources.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
Considering the screen sizes we are talking about, does anything north of 480×800 really make that much of a difference to the naked eye?
[Windows Phone 7 General] shaundalglish:
No.

The term 'retina display' is bull, in reality you would have to hold the iPhone 18 inches from your face to reach the limits of your eyes.

Which brings me to the main point: If you have a bigger display, you can hold it farther from your eyes and have the same effect.

940 or 800 pixels? It hardly matters. What matters more is the actual size of the screen and any WP7 device with a 3.7" or 4" screen at WVGA is to be preferred to the iPhone's too small 3.4" screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AyanamiZer00:
I believe the 480x800 was a minimum spec, and that the other would be an exception to the rule for some other devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
480x800 is fine, they need to get rid of this HVGA crap though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anaadoul:
HVGA is good if you need a compact device, not everyone wants a large device, some want's it slim and compact.

I belive that it will not make a big difference to have it as 800x480 or 960x640 (it would matter if the screen was big, but in the iphone case it wouldn't).

The usage of this resolution is pure technical and i really respect this move. now the only thing they need to do to maintain the apps compatability of the old iPhone is to render the apps 2 times larger on both axis (x,y) so if you have an image that is 20 pixels height and 50 pixels width (20x50)it would be (40x100), notice this will not affect the aspect ratio nor will result in a distortion or pixelating the image (the same screen size but having more pixels).

Now if you come to the real world, i will not matter for the naked eye, i would love to see this screen compared to the WVGA i have on my HD2. i doubt that there will be a noticable difference.

Pure physics say that the Naked Human Eye at a distance of 30cm can see objects that are 0.1mm, any object smaller (or objects that have a distance of 0.1mm or less will appear as 1 object, so this returns us to the "a mere 78 micrometers" (0.078mm) means that you can notice that the pixel itself is a an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye easily, that's why each pixel for us will be represented as almost 1.5 pixels). now i'm not saying that it is the same, not at all. it makes difference from the old screen they were using, but the same result we would get if they made a bit lower resolution screens (0.1mm).

Anyhow, for that particular screen size, the resolution usage is more a technical point of view than a real function point of you. you will enjoy the new screen resolution but you will not see all the pixels :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] NoWorthWhile:
I have to agree with everyone above me. While yes, things will look crispier on that iPhone screen, you have to remember also that they're not taking advantage of that screen estate... As someone above me stated, the icons won't be smaller for you to fit more info on the screens, the icons will have the same size, but will look sharper.

Is it worth it? Don't know... 960x640 is a lot. But can you see the difference to our 800x480? Sorry, but if you do, you should be in a secret american bunker.

And don't forget! iPhone's screen is 4:3 as ours are 16:9 (roughly). Should you put the iPhone's screen in 16:9 form, it would be 960x540... So the improvement isn't that great... (And i'm not mentionning that most sites are still being written to fit a 800x600 pc screen, so having a 800x480 hold in landscape will render the site 100% accurately... in theory that is xD)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Sure it looks like the iPhone will have a great resolution but at 3.5" screen size it doesn't make it and where near what I'd be looking for. I want a bigger screen and I've found the pixel density of 800x480 is good enough to make everything look crisp. Maybe MS will add 1600x960 and 960x640 to there list of supported resolutions seems how that just doubling what they currently have as standards. Ok maybe 1600x960 is a bit much but hey it can happen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
Good point. If you have a very high res (960*640) screen but are limited to the same screen proportions as a very low res screen (480*320) you've lost a lot of the advantage.

Partly agreed. If they get cleartype to work properly (both portrait and landscape, and on OLED screens) then 800*480 is good for images and text.

I'm all for high res, but 800*480 is good, plus OLED is the way forward and hasn't reached full 800*480 resolution yet.

I think the foundational technologies (surrounding silverlight) enable resolution-independence very easily and may even enforce it, so moving to any widescreen resolution should be easy in future, with only the potential problem of bitmap pixellation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rogeriopcf:
I think we're reaching a point where the resolution in no longer important.

We all remember a couple of years ago when we "drool" about having vga resolution phone.

Now that the 800x480 are the standard and the 960x640 are becoming a standard also, all resolutions beyond this point becomes meaningless as we, humans, cannot see the difference in a standard size phone terminal.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Won't more pixels on the screen though lead to better touch perfomance?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rogeriopcf:
What does performance have to do with pixel resolution??

The digitalizer (that plastic layer above the LCD) takes care of the touch input, not the LCD itself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Also, more pixels on the screen = more pixels to render = slower performance. For example, a lot of the XNA games made will probably be 320x480 and automatically scaled up for performance reasons.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
As far as I remember, Da_G said they are working hard on completing DPI_262, which opens new resolutions, like 1280x720 and so on :).

I think that even Hummingbird from Samsung, which is way faster (in GPU even more) than Qualcomm Snapdragon, will perform quite well with those resolutions. And when they come, we will have even better CPUs and GPUs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Shasarak:
It depends on the size of the screen and the viewing distance, but in general, yes. There's a reason why printers don't print at 300 dots per inch any more - it's because the eye can easily detect a difference between 300 pixels per inch and 600. In fact, even going from 600dpi to 1200 makes a visible difference sometimes.

Or, to look at it another way, is there a visible difference when you switch ClearType on and off? ClearType multiplies the resolution by three on one axis. If you can see a difference then the original resolution is comfortably below the finest your eye can resolve.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyninger:
I'd focus more on screen clairity, color depth/contrast/brightness, ect. before trying to cram more pixels into a sub 5" screen. How about a nice OLED? ...I'd rather have this as compared to more dpi.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munsterrr:
i tried on a win 7, vista, and xp machine to install the ADB drivers

I install the latest SDK. download the latest drivers through SDK(pack 3 i believe). Restart the machine, restart phone.

I try to search for the files in the "C:\android-sdk-windows" folder where i unzipped this. I even went as far as to go to "C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\i386" to search for the drivers but none of them ever find it.

Because of this i cant root, use the new recovery, or use the RUU files to go back to the stock rom because they all look for ADB.

I was originally trying to take the unrevoked root off so i could use toast's method by flashing the stock rom. Both RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed AND RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253 do not recognize it.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time

Hello everybody,

just a message to announce a new freeware to detect speed camera. it's a french software, with live update for the mobile radar.

you can find this jewel her : http://www.mobbyway.com/

the soft is under development, and the skin is enough "rustik", but it should become a must have.

drive and enjoy !

Hi guys,

4 months since the last answer on this thread... It's time to "up" this thread once again !

First of all : don't use the zip file provided in the post #2, because it's really really too old now.

Go to www.mobbyway.com to download the latest version (v21 for the moment !)

Many things have changed with this brilliant software...

About 4 to 5 new versions release, a growing and growing amount of users (especially since the beginning of september) and an android version release . And a really reactive forum and team.

Iphone version should be available in November and the amount of informatics dummies that are using "this high technology phone" (hum hum) will, I hope, really increase again the number of users.

I use this software for 3 months and the number of user has amazingly increased !

Nevermore alone on the road ;-)

As said previously, it's a software written in France but also used in Belgium, Netherlands.

If the law allow it (for instance in Germany this kind of software is not allowed), I think you can use it all over the world (it's just GPS coordinates that are transmitted, and I think they will not be stopped at the border ;-)

You should give it a try, because it's really impressive (and free).

Remember that this kind of software is "cooperative" so, even if there are not many users in the beginning, continue to use it and this will reinforce the community.

That's what we call in French a "snow ball effect" (if this snow ball downs a slope)

Some of you might already know about this, but I just read an article that talks about a set of macro/wide lens that's compatible with the Evo. From the picutrestaken with it, it looks pretty terrific.

Sample shots here: http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/06/review-magnetic-macro-lens-for-htc-evo-4g.html

Can be purchased here: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14953
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fixter:
Already bought mine, will let you guys know what quality is made of. Will post pics.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mecha2142:
Please do. I'd like to see what kind of photos can be taken with that wide angle lens, even if I have to hold it up while taking the shot.
[EVO 4G Accessories] timothydonohue:
i'm interested to see how your dealings with dealextreme go. i've never even heard of them
[EVO 4G Accessories] rutter9:
They are good but shipping usually takes 3 weeks. I have a jewelers eyepiece that does the same thing as these macro lenses. The one I have is only 1.5x you can buy then at 10x and more. You can buy them for a penny on ebay:
[EVO 4G Accessories] oOflyeyesOo:
Isnt the one that was shown on engadget a bit different, colored and smaller?
[EVO 4G Accessories] kmartburrito:
And the biggest feature (to me at least) - Magnetic.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fixter:
Yeah. But they arent for photographic sessions. They tend to fall off with heavy use.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kmartburrito:
Dang, that sucks to hear. I was hoping it would be a strong enough magnet to stay at least somewhat firmly attached. I guess you can't expect too much for something that wasn't specifically designed for the Evo.

In any case, it's cool though!
[EVO 4G Accessories] M@XLOL:
Pictures look fantastic. If anyone gets this let me know how it goes I am so close to pulling the trigger its only ten bucks....
[EVO 4G Accessories] timothydonohue:

[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
Quite simply is there a reason not to love their weird selection of products. I've bought so much stuff from them that I have NEVER been able to find anywhere else. I think this company is great.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jgutz20:
Looks like fun!

I placed my order, not to worried if they dont stick on there perfectly, they are fairly cheap, do the eyeglass pieces stick to the Evo as well or were those pics taken while holding it in place?
[EVO 4G Accessories] oOflyeyesOo:
Did anyone find the red macro lens that was in the pictures from engadget?
[EVO 4G Accessories] timothydonohue:
so, has anyone received one that they've ordered yet? mine says it is 'in packaging'....lord only knows how long that is going to take...
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fixter:
Timothy. I have been a client of them for more than 2 years. No one will receive theirs until 2 weeks or more.

[EVO 4G Accessories] sniggle:
expect to wait a bit, that's why shipping is free and it's so cheap. probably 1.5-2 weeks, as that's what happened when i bought a cheap fling monkey scream toy from them last year. that being said, at this price it's still pretty sweet. :)

on a side note, can anyone recommend any of the ones from that first amazon link? i'd prefer to have it shipped quicker and pay for higher quality if it's reasonable. thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Accessories] rutter9:
All I did was put the camera right over top of the jewelers lens. The macro shots are more of a novelty for a camera phone. I've always known about this and maybe tried it out 3 times tops on cell phones. Like I said you can buy the jewelers lenses for a penny on ebay, and they are much higher quality and you can pick the magnification.
