[Q] Help! Why TN7 can not connect to DualShock3 via bluetooth？

[generalradec]

Hi there! I bought a Tegra Note7 which is equipped with Tegra4 Chipsets.Now I want to play games with DualShock3 via SIXAXIS CONTROLLER. The thing is that the app worked very well on my Moto Droid Bionic,but it did not work on my Tegra Note7. When I clicked "start" with every necessary steps done and the screen displayed address of bluetooth and listening for controllers,the "bluetooth" icon did not appear on the top status bar. So the DS3 controller was continuous flashing its 4 red lights,then no other things took place.
I have restored original android 4.3 rom,no changes. Could*you*please*tell me how to work it out? Thank you!

Before I rooted tablet I was able to plug ps3 controller in and was able to map buttons m8 I also used sixaxis enabler and everything fine until rooted then lost all ps3 controller mappings there's very little info on this subject I asked before ,something to do with Bluetooth drivers !

There's really nothing to figure out. The bluetooth stack on the stock ROM just doesn't work with PS3 controllers. Until someone can make a custom ROM with some sort of changes to bluetooth (or until Nvidia releases a ROM with decent bluetooth support), it's just not going to work, and there's nothing we can do to change that.

Thank you for your definite answer! Anyway I now understand what is going on with Tegra Note7, and I have substituted DS3 for wamo pro2 .I hope it can function on my device via bluetooth.

The 4.4 Update is supposed to address controller usage.

Yeah,wamoPro can work on TN7 via BT now.But there is a pity for Sixaxis controller still not functioning in TN7.

I've had some success using the USB/BT Joystick Center app with an otg cable and a Bluetooth dongle.

Not 100% sure what you're asking for but hopefully this is it.

I can't get it to work as consistently on my tablet as Better DS3 works on my PC though.

Any Idea if this is actually possible? sitting with a rooted TN7 which I spent a while figuring out how to root (not particularly learned in android atm) and pretty pissed off that my dreams of having a nice practical ghetto shield without cables have been crushed.

It's technically possible, but there has been almost no developer interest in this device. There are no custom ROMs available, and there's only one alternative kernel available, though I never did try a Sixaxis with that kernel... I do know that it broke support for my Moga, so that's not exactly promising. I'll have to give the Sixaxis a try here in a bit.

Assuming you mean shaky156 kernel I can confirm that it doesn't help the bluetooth issue

Just tried the latest version of Sixaxis with the latest OTA. And it seems to finally work on the built in blutooth stack without a usb dongle!
