[Q] Infuriating Bluetooth Controller Lag on S4

[AlexBridgez]

I've got a GS4 running 4.4.2 AOSP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2544474) and I want to use my Moga Pro Power (http://androidspin.com/wp-content/up...-Pro-Power.png) to play games like NFS MW and emulators like Super Gnes but I get an infuriating lag of ~0.4 of a second between pushing a button and the action happening, making games like Super Mario World on Gnes impossible.

I've also tried a dualshock 3 controller over bluetooth and the lag is still there. If I use the PS3 controller plugged in with an OTG then the input lag is still there (less than ~0.4s but still definately noticeable. Is there anything I can do to improve the lag since I've read reviews and other xda threads which say the Moga works great?

What can cause input lag from an external device? Thanks

as you started with the moga pro i was going to say that the moga definitely has input lag, its not a bad controller but still has some problems, as for the dualshock 3 aswell, i dont know what to tell you. what app are you using to map the buttons to the emulator? the normal moga pivot app or?

Yeah I'm just using the regular moga pivot app. It's not just within apps, it's even when using the controller to navigate around android What can cause input lag (even wired)? I have modified dalvik and bionic caches on my S4 (also on my N7, which also has the input lag) so could that be it?

im not sure about that, there are some emulator apps such as Mupen64+AE (N64 emu) that you shouldnt launch from the pivot app and should have better input. try using this instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.obsidianx.android.mogaime for all your emulators, its LOTS better than the pivot app which the pivoit app is only compatable with whatever apps moga wants and this will be compatible with anything that can bind keys.

Thanks for that but this doesnt get around the issue of noticeable lag just using android, a dualshock and wired, I'm seriously tempted to just go and buy a JXD S7800B for gaming and use the moga as a glorified battery pack
