From what i think i understand to get the wiimote working with the galaxy s would require someone to write a custom profile for the wiimote to work on a bluetooth 3.0 stack, which, with the speed the kinect was hacked onto windows, makes me think it should be doable if someone has the motivation. I dont really want to downgrade my bluetooth stack to increase compatibility. Which makes me wonder what about other bluetooth controllers there should be other ones out there right?

So yea, it is just wishful thinking about getting a wiimote to work. The reason I want it is that i am not totally sold on the feel of the gamegripper. I have not tried it yet but it looks to me like it will be a better experience but still not a great one. I could be dead wrong though I guess Ill know in a week or 2.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
I'm gonna wait for some user reviews before I purchase the GameGripper.

I'm definitely gonna get the rubber buttons and probably a extra set of plastic buttons also.

I didn't think about the fact that the game gripper won't work on phones with cases though! :( I'm still waiting for the blue Active X case from seidio, so i'm not sure how much use this Gamegripper will get!
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
I'd rather have hard buttons but with soft backsides where they touch they keyboard. One can hope.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Pops_G:
I got mine!

So far so good. I got mine today and its working great. I had a little bit of trouble at first because I forgot to remove the case cover from the screen part of the phone. It needs to fit in nice and snug in order work correctly.

Here are a few pictures and a video of me using it. It is about 600% better than the keyboard by itself, but only about 70% as good as the real thing.

On the side there is a hole so you can plug in the power while you use it.

[Epic 4G Accessories] ZenInsight:
70% as good as a real Snes controller? What is missing? It looked like you had perfect control to me. Too bad about the face guard thing. I have one also. I don't use the back because I super glued it to a Garmin GPS holder so when I get into the car I can just snap the Epic in...but I left the face plate on because it's minimal and seem to add a little protection. Sounds like I will have to remove it EVERY time I play with the gripper. Did you get plastic buttons only? I ordered both. How about the sound jack? Is that covered or open like the power is? Also does the gripper cover the earphone jack? I know I'm getting mine soon but it doesn't hurt to get the info out there right away.

/rubs hands together contemplating TV out hack. And Wiimote bluetooth fix.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Pops_G:
I gave it 70% because some of the buttons don't have a "click" when you press them like a real controller. Also the D-pad doesn't "rock". That is to say that you cannot roll your thumb from right to left to change directions. It is more of a slide-and-press motion. Its still good, just not as good as the real thing.

The headphone jack IS covered. That might be a bit of a problem.
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
Just because a few people asked, including myself:

No, there is not. However we have never had a report of any damage.

Thanks

For the grippers with hard buttons, is there any kind of soft part where the buttons contact the keys so they don't make marks or split/break the keys?

Sincerely,

I'm still debating about getting one myself, partly because I haven't learned which emulators are the best to get or where to download the games themselves. I've got all the Gameloft games on my phone and using the screen seems almost a necessity since movement is more than just up, down, left and right and some even require multitouch.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ZenInsight:
My 11 MIN review...

:-)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VI0Wxg5EOU

FYI...the 3.5 jack IS covered...but I'm sure I can drill a hole in it to access the earphone.

ALSO...I have already begun with a reshaping project using a dremel tool. So far I have increased the accuracy about 40% from stock. To me this means that the design is flawed...not so much the keypad although that may have something to do with it also. But fireballs are much easier now. I will upload a second video about the crosspad when I'm done.
[Epic 4G Accessories] thephawx:
@ZenInsight

Something can't be right. I'm looking forward to your follow up video showing the changes you made to the GG.

I'm not sure if you saw my mod or not, but I can pull of dragon punches like they are going out of style.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2407W5bIae8

Likewise, fireballs are super easy, and the half circle red fireballs are pretty painless. Perhaps, you could try Snesoid Lite with SF2 Championship edition? That's the version I tried and it works perfectly.

Or perhaps you are having the same issue I had with the Moto Droid and the GG? Do you notice the GG becoming un-seated or floating around and touching other buttons?

Either way, thanks for the review. Looking forward to see the changes you made.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Masterface7:
I wanted to mention that plugging in a power cord kind of locks the gg in place. Even without that though I never noticed the gg sliding around. I will say it does not perfectly fit my keyboard though. Since this device is supposed to be made specifically for this phone I fell like it shouldn't be less than 100% form fit. Over all it does not bother me while playing though. Also I wanna throw a +1 up for hd pictures of the mods on the buttons. I saw the one last page but the up and down buttons are not bothering me as much as left and right.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ZenInsight:
I made the mods and it IS the crosspad not the phone. I will post a video tonight. Fireballs and dragon punches are much easier now.
[Epic 4G Accessories] thephawx:
@ZenInsight

Good to hear. Looking forward to it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jnadke:
Got mine in the mail yesterday, ordered after it came out.

A few observations.

1. I the GG is bowed outward fresh after manufacturing. This affects how the buttons sit. It helps to bend it inward a bunch so the device is flat/straight before putting it on the Epic. If it isn't flat, the tactile feedback doesn't work right.

2. The GG likes to slide downward, and then all the tactile feedback disappears. It works amazingly well when it's perfectly aligned with the keypad. I find myself pushing up every now and then on the GG to make sure it's flush with the screen. This is a big thing, make sure the GG is flush with the bottom of the screen if you have no tactile feedback.

3. The left gripper tends to come off every now and then if you hold it like a normal controller (hold it with your palms/grip it). Cradling it in your fingertips works better. This causes similar problems as in #2 (tactile feedback disappears). By this I mean, the right button on the Dpad doesn't de-press. Annoying when playing Mario. Still works.

4. The hard keys do leave marks, but nothing too noticeable. Nothing huge, but I notice a few scratches on the keyboard keys. You can't really notice them. I don't know if they were there before I got the GG, but I never use my keyboard, so this isn't a big deal to me. The GG is worth it.

Overall good product, I'd highly recommend it. That said, they have some refinement to do, and could use to improve their manufacturing quality.

That said, the tactile feedback works well, and I could easily see pulling off Street Fighter moves with it. I played some Super Mario, MegaMan 2, 1942, and Gradius with it, no complaints.

I'll still give it two thumbs up.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ap77:
Looking forward to seeing this. I'm having tactile issues with the crosspad as well.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Magic Oreo:
ordered mine should get in the next couple of days. :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Got mine, and its working perfectly well except for the Right DPAD direction. For some reason there is no tactile feedback for this, but there is for everything else. When you take out the DPAD from the game gripper and line it up on the keyboard, for some reason the left and right directionals are WAY to the edges of the keys on the keyboard where they make contact. I would of expected them to be right in the middle of the keys.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ZenInsight:
If you have the rubber pad it's very easy to snip all 4 feet down a 1/10 of an inch. It makes the contact against the keys WAY better. My control has improved by 60% at least.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ap77:
So your suggestion is to just file/cut down the length of the feet a bit? If so, I'll give it a try.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ZenInsight:
Yes. I did this. It's worked. I'm too lazy to put up another video right now but trust me. It worked. NOW...I will say this, I cut down a rubber pad...NOT the plastic one, although I don't see why it would matter. And FURTHERMORE, please be aware that the reason the left and right legs stick out that way is to hold the pad from popping out of the crosspad holding area. So...if you cut too much off then you might get the pad popping out accidentally. Of course I ordered an extra set of buttons and the pad comes with that...so I didn't care as it was only 4 bucks extra.

But yes, it worked for me with the rubber pad.

Edit: You might also consider not cutting the legs but actually shaving down the underneath surface of the gripper over the WADZ keys. I don't know which would work better. Personally I buzzed the holes out to bring the pad closer to the keyboard AND cut the legs down as well.

I take no responsibility for the mess you may create as I did.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ap77:
Ha, understood. I also ordered extra buttons, so I guess no big deal if I mess up my first dpad.

[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
I just hope that GG is reading this and making the necessary changes. I want one of these, but not if I'm going to have to modify it just to work properly.
[Epic 4G Accessories] magicwands:
Got minelast night, can see myself making a few small shaving type mods to it like others have stated just to make it really nice but I must say its pretty awesome right out the bag.

Played 6 or 8 quick games of various type and overall very satisfied with the purchase. Mad props to game grip!
[Epic 4G Accessories] ZenInsight:
I Agree...if they are reading. The feet need to be shorter and the center needs to be raised to cause a rocker effect.
[Epic 4G Accessories] OperationMove:
I just got mine in the mail last night, but since I get home from work in the wee hours of the morning it was actually time for me to get some sleep. I got up today and got to play around with it (And the extra set of rubber buttony goodness) I have to say as with most people around here I have the same feelings on the Dpad not rocking, and not having tactile feedback even if just a little bit offset/not snug. Overall though it seems to work quite nicely. Definitly a huge improvement over the onscreen keyboard.

This unlocks a little more playability to all those other games! I was only playing RPGS for months on this thing. :P The GG setup still isn't the size of a classic controller, so the ergonomics take a bit to get used to, but other than the DPad design I'd say its still a great product, and I like someones estimation before, it seems to be about 70% accurate to classic controller experience. If the Dpad was fixed itd be near flawless.

+1 on Raise Dpad center and very slightly trim pads.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ZenInsight:
I'm such an a$$ with the laziness. I really need to put up a second video of the mod I did that pretty much fixed this issue.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Masterface7:
or just post some pictures =)
[Epic 4G Accessories] ap77:
So, I shaved down the feet a little. It helped a bit, I guess, but no major change. But wouldn't the ideal design be not to include a rocker at all and just have separate buttons -- like the ps3 controller?
[Epic 4G Accessories] Magic Oreo:
bought mine on sunday still don't have it :X should get it soon though...
[Epic 4G Accessories] Spunkzz:
please do whenever you get the chance to.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ap77:
To me it seems as though the dpad rocket is an unnecessary and flawed design. I wonder if there is a way to mod this so that the dpad consists of individual buttons (like the ps3 controller) rather than a rocker.
[Epic 4G Accessories] BeerChameleon:
Agreed why didnt they just make the dpad buttons too...
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
It is a flawed design. If you slide the game gripper down a little you can see that the dpad isn't even aligned correctly with the 3 columns of keys that it interacts with. It is off to the right. The problem with mine is that the right dpad direction is hitting the "d" key on the right edge of the actual key, which has no give at all.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Masterface7:
Well I made the cut and it works a lot better

sorry if its huge, I'm on phone.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
All I did was take some loctite super glue, use a toothpick to gather a bit of it up, and place a glob near the inner part of the right D-pad. Let it dry into a nice hard bubble overnight and you are set. Effectively, what it does is moves the contact area of the right dpad to the left, so that its contacting the "D" key in the sweet spot, and not at the right edge where there is no tactile feedback. Works flawlessly so far, and gives better feedback than any of the other D-pad directions now.

The blue is from the amazing superglue canabalizing the blue toothpick while I was waiting to apply it to the D-Pad.
[Epic 4G Accessories] add119:
does the gamegripper work with gameloft game? i hate using touchscreen on their games.
[Epic 4G Accessories] vita10gy:
It will work for anything so long as you can assign keys to movements.

All it does it push buttons on your keyboard.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Masterface7:
Just an FYI they have up for order a new dpad that is just for the price of shipping. I just put in an order for one hopefully it works great. I cut the original one to make i work better so hopefully this one works better still.
[Epic 4G Accessories] klownin816:
Are you saying they revised the Dpad for it? Let me know how it goes!
[Epic 4G Accessories] Masterface7:
That is what I am saying, I will report here once i get it. I didn't spring for the fast shipping though so I don't expect it till middle of next week.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
What do you mean just for the price of shipping? The only think I see on their site is a 2 dollar d pad with the cheapest shipping being like $4.50 making the total over 6 dollars for a dpad. If it was amazing I think i would pick it up but I have a problem paying 6 dollars for such a small piece of plastic.
[Epic 4G Accessories] intx:

[Epic 4G Accessories] Masterface7:
I just got mine in today. I gotta say it is 10x better. Every direction on the dpad is a nice click with no overlap on other buttons.

I so wanna get this! but I dont wanna have to remove my case everything I wanna play a game.. is there anyway to make it so it would fix even with the sprint case?
[Epic 4G Accessories] || Acer ||:
I ordered mine yesterday (:
[Epic 4G Accessories] Masterface7:
Probably not, it is exactly cut to slide onto the keyboard. If you could live with only half a case you could leave the screen half on and take the bottom half off then you could slide this on.
[Epic 4G Accessories] piscesjoey:

I got mine today and I agree with this completely. Each direction has a nice click and they work perfectly. 100% better than before.
[Epic 4G Accessories] intx:
I got mine Wednesday but had been too sick to really put a review.

It's working great but one issue I seem to have is when i push down the top sort of "comes out of the mold" and it looks like I could have trouble..maybe im just pushing too hard..it always goes right back in without issue but i feel like down the road something could come up.

Anyone else's do that?
[Epic 4G Accessories] || Acer ||:
Got mine a week ago, and I love it!

My only complaint is whenever I want to stop using the Game Grip while charging my phone, I have to take out the USB, slide off the game grip, then put the USB back on. I don't think that can be fixed, but it's just something that bothers me.

Fixes a few bugs from the earlier one.

Deodexed, rooted, and version independant. Can be flashed from any version, will keep root.

THIS WILL FORMAT EVERYTHING, and it is missing a few things like HtcTwitter (Peep) and a few other bloatware apps.

Give Up The Info!

It's not that I (or the collective, "we") am/are unappreciative, but more info would be nice, esp. since you took the time the time out to make this release for us. General info (version info, i.e., build number, radio, etc), changes made, what has changed/what's been fixed (esp. since there are some modified versions of the old OTA leak that have been patched with fixes for some issues).

Thanks again for all the hard work, looking forward to a rooted final 2.2 OTA (HTC needs to stop spending time patching holes and more time releasing the goods... it's not like they lose money either way =p).

They included a message now to delete your emails and txts along with apps to save space. I like that.

You guys make me crazy :) The leaked OTA will be on your phones for time which is better measured in days than anything else, and there are SO many postings about things which don't work.

Look - the OP ain't gonna fix it, its clearly a beta, and its got a super limited shelf life. Just install if you want to install, and stand by for the OTA ... but for gosh sake, please stop complaining about things that don't work. Honestly, its a beta ... some things won't work.

I believe I seen the op post that in certain cases it might install another radio with this. I did not see it and have not read that has happened with anyone else. Instead I have read that it will not install with clockwork ( not sure about that one either)

However from my install which went without a hitch, and my Radio is the same as it was before and the rom runs very very well I don't see a reason I should not be able to do a simple wipe and nandroid restore.
