Wii/PS3 bluetooth controller problem?

All reports of the WiiMoteController say it doesnt work on the Galaxy S.

Do we know why exactly? the author comments on this for the HTC devices. does the galaxy S share the same problem?

"on some devices, mostly HTC, the application starts searching and then stops immediately with the "Error no -1" message, even if the bluetooth is on. Most likely a fault from HTC and unfixible for now. See this thread for technical info. If you're a developer and have solved this kind of issue before, please tell how! A lot of Android users will be very grateful

(finding the wiimote with the phone is not the actuall issue here, but rather the lack of support for the low-level connectivity with the phone's bluetooth. BAD, BAD HTC! Go stand in the corner!)"

is this a quick fix or something deeper?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jazzyjeffm:
With regards to the htc sense affecting the wii controller app - I believe theres a bug with the htc bluetooth stack that returns null when pairing devices this stops code beyond this from executing, or something along those lines.

The way around this is to use a ROM, without Htc sense like OpenDesire, which has been tested on these forums.

Still as yet i don't know what the reason is for the Samsung Galaxy S, if its a similar bluetooth issue, but i'm as eager as you to find out because it would make the perfect emulation device with that screen!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrionTC:
yes it would! i 100% agree hence my interest too. especially with the ps1 emulator around the corner...

would love more input on this, i might try tweeting paul later see if he replies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] us1111:
Awaking from sleepy mode :eek:: What? Around the corner? How far till a workin one?

I would LOOOVE a psx emulator with a working PS3 controler.. Maybe with froyo (also around the corner) we get 2 flies at once.. Faster emulator and (support for) a real controler (WOW!)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrionTC:
droidforums.net/forum/droid-games/35309-playstation-emulator-development-40.html

its pretty much ready just waiting for a few tweaks from the emulator android guy. only the dev's word on that though, but its the same guys who did the iphone emulators zottd (or something) and the guy who did the android emulators. should be a good product.

and yes wtb froyo and increased bluetooth support for controllers:P

they also mention about the PS3 controller and there may be a way to sync it but you need to sync with a PC first...not sure on the reasoning behind that.

I LOVE SAMSUNG GALAXY S. I really want to buy it... but physical keyboard= better gaming. Solution Wii mote ime... so I emailed the dev. Still no response. Will keep you updated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] McQueefus:
Man, that would be sweet. One thing about the galaxy s is that it has a great screen and powerful GPU but the only controls are the ones on the screen that are difficult to play with. I know this is of topic but does anyone know if the wiimote will ever be compadable with the galaxy s. I have tried it and does not work as of now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NZtechfreak:
It will work when the cyanogenmod ROM comes out, they have announced they are supporting the Galaxys S, should only be a matter of time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
It's just to use the ps3 controller to control your games. You can do the same with the WiiMote, you can even use it in the NES and SNES emulators.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dopedangel:
we can already connect our phones to the tv using an av pin. Install a psx emulator and ps3 controller and we can use the phone as a gaming console;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] waspbr:
that would be great news, the lack of a keyboard really makes it hard to play some games, the gamepad would help A LOT
[Galaxy S I9000 General] badasschris:
So I just saw this thread and it is exactly what I'm after, I jst ordered a £2 av cable from ebay and put that together with some kind of input (wiimote doesn't work :( ) then I will have a pocket snes/megadrive etc

I'm a complete novice with java/andorid but have the sdk up and running if anyone can give me some hints on what i can do with this code (and where to get it) that would be cool.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
FYI - apparently the WiiMote support does not work with the Samdung phones (nor the Evo or some others). Has something to do with Bluetooth 3.0, I don't know the details. Crappy :/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
I'm no expert, but I doubt it's anything to do with the SGS using BT 3.0 - that should be backwards compatible. I suspect it's more akin to the problem that HTC users are having, where it seems that HTC have used an early version of the BT drivers for Android, and so are limited to functions like pairing headphones/hands free kits etc.

HID/SPP profiles are not currently supported, which is the main issue. Some 3rd party apps will allow connection of a few devices, but these apps are usually device specific, or at least only work on a few devices (see mymobilegear.com's GamePro and KeyPro drivers).

HID/SPP support will come with Cyanogen, or from Samsung if we're lucky (I've been at them about this issue, and had a standard "it's not us it's the 'droid" first response, to which I pointed out it is actually their problem, as Android is open source blah blah blah, at which point they told me that a development team had been notified).

Or of course if some skilled and enterprising soul decides to fix it earlier, then the world would be a better place. Or something.

Time will tell.

"We" Hire a Developer for Bluetooth Wii/Ps3 controller app!

Hello every1

Since Samsung galaxy S is one of the affected Devices which cannot connect a Controller over BT to play our beloved emulators, i came up with this idea out of the nowhere :D

What about we gather some money over Paypal to Hire a Developer who could make this happen?

I understand you guys will be skeptic about this since no one knows me here. All i can do is give you my word that the money will be delivered to a Dev who accomplishes this, of course only when tested and proved that works!

Every donation will only be displayed here on the main thread after the userwho donated post the amount and transaction code here. So i can confirm it.

I would like to know if any dev would be interested in trying so i could start gathering the donations.

Also i got the idea to spread the work to the "media", engadget, droidforums, etc... That would help finding a Dev, or at least it should. It istn't every day that this new can come out: " Folks at XDA are hiring devs " :D

Lets hear what the community thinks, and start with the operation, or not! :)

Count 10$ from me IN!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Logicalstep:
I think this is a good idea.

The SGS is just crying out for an emulator with Wii mote.

I would suspect though that holding off until the Official Froyo has been released, would be a good idea. Who knows what Fixes may come with it, you may not even have to do a thing to use existing app for Wii mote.

Logicalstep
[Galaxy S I9000 General] katsuru:
Hopefully u r right mate!

Has samsung said anything officialy about this issue? I believe they do not know about it. Or maybe they are just ignoring it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BenF1:
Any development of this phone seems to be holding off until FroYo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ShezUK:
Isn't the issue to do with the Bluetooth HID/encrypted drivers? If it's anything down that line I'm sure they're aware of it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] katsuru:
i dont know what causes the issue, all i know is that it is there... and it is a shame that such an issue blocks our way thru making the galaxy S the best portable gaming device with phone call features ! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Oooch:
Don't quote me on this but I hear it works with the zeemote and the gamepro drivers. So it MUST be possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] katsuru:
it does...

Only missing a wiimote solution now :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Logicalstep:
Zeemote doesn;t list Galaxy S as compatible. :(

Logicalstep
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
Samsung do know about it, or at least that's what I got back from a samsung email address a while back:

Make of that what you will (bolding was by me, not Samsung).

Zeemotes and that MSI gamepad with the odd shape should work, I know the Zeemote works, but you will need to shell out $10 or so for the GamePro app (and that's a payment for each controller you want working). I have a Zeemote, works ok, but the analogue stick isn't analogue, and there's a distinct lack of buttons for decent emulation, else I'd cannibalize it and shove the electronics into an old snes controller or something.

Support for wiimote/PS3 controllers would rock - I have a Datel standalone Wii Classic conrtoller ready to go, just waiting for Cyanogen/some developer to get it running.

Put me in for $20 or the equivalent in GBP for the pot :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] katsuru:
Can you link me your Datel classic controller? I got a Wiimote + Classic controller Pro, but that is alot of stuff to take with when on the road, i was looking forward for a Stand alone controller looking like Nintendo Classic controller.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Datel-Wireless-Retro-Controller-Wii/dp/B002BA5FAC

I'd link the proper datel page but it's blocked by my work firewall, so I can't check it's the right one. Should be on www.datel.co.uk somewhere :)

Build quality seems good, works alright, and it's got all the buttons I need. Just a shame it won't work with the SGS.

I've also got one of these:http://www.ioffer.com/i/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-full-qwerty-smartphones-ps3-bla-152556931

Again, no support for the SGS until we get proper SIP support (oddly enough, this keyboard did actually come with an .apk for android devices, but the BT on the SGS is definitely "broken" in some way, or at least doesn't interface with apps in the standard way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] katsuru:
That Datel controller seems ok, i tried an original classic controller, and it sucked, my hand was hurting from holding it after 2 mins, no ergonomics at all. Thats why i bought the Classic Controller Pro. But that one from datel seems to add some nice ergonomic forms under the device it self. Gotta look into it.

You have tested your Datel and another android device using Wiiremote apk?

Btw the problem with the bluetooth is the missing HID drivers. Which are needed for a Controller, a keyboard or a mouse...etc
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
I tried the normal Wii Controller on a dell Streak I had for a short while, that worked fine. I didn't have the zeemote/Datel classic/keyboard at the time, but the Streak is known for having a full compliment of drivers that work with pretty much any BT device.

Unfortunately the only other devices I have now are an xperia X1i, and some crappy old HP Jornada 720s I got from work. WM seems so antiquated now compared to Android :)

[Q] Use the Galaxy S with PS Groove to Jailbreak the PS3

Can it be done via a nice free app?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Logicalstep:
Si if I'm understanding you right, the GamePro app is a bluetooth app thats sits on your phone and allows the two controllers you mentioned to be connected via bluetooth.

If this is the case then surely this thread should focus on getting in touch with the GamePro creators and asking them to try and get Wiimote support into the app?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] aziztcf:
Pretty sure he's just taking the opportunity to scam some suckers out of their $$s.

Although I can see someone porting it to droid. For SGS you'd have to switch the musb calls with s3c_udc ones, which shouldn't be too hard methinks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] viperfx07:
yea i mean the person here says that hes developing the app for andriod devices

netzke.blogspot.com

But he keeps asking for donations, and asking for donation of $15 for a guaranteed spot on the beta testers list.

I just hope someone here who is more experienced will have some free time to develop this app. I will gladly donate after you make the app, but a few screenshot do not proove anything.

I know it can be time consuming and expensive to test these things but i personally think he is being greedy.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
this isnt right becuase its a usb hardware bug they are using to jailbreak the ps3 and this isnt upgradeable trough the internet :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Einride:
No, the PS Jailbreak used a heap overflow to execute arbitrary code. That's absolutely possible to fix via an upgrade which is exactly what firmware 3.42 did.

You need 3.41 for the exploit to still work. (Earlier versions might be made to work as well, since this bug was introduced in early 2.xx firmware.)

It would be nice if people would get the hint. This is being developed for free and it's considered polite to let them do what they do without being pestered.

But still doesn't seem to work with the wii remote apps.

I so want this to work. If it works with the captivate, maybe this will quickly get implemented accross the board.
