I bought a dualshock3 sixaxis controller today to use both on my computer and phone and tested it on my sensation. I used sixaxis controller app from play store to pair it with my phone. Unfortunately, sense roms (i'm using ViperS Sense4) does not seem to support the controller.. Sixaxis Controller app was unsuccesful to configure my bluetooth.

Then i tried a MIUI rom to see how senseless roms work with controller, and managed to pair devices with no errors, sixaxis controller app easily managed to connect the controller.

I do love sense, but i don't like playing games on touch screens.. :crying: And probably most of HTC users agree with me.

Why not jus get an xBox. Games on ur phone is just for killing time on the bus or at class in school.

Beamed from my Senny..
I can't because i often change cities. I enjoy playing N.O.V.A, Modern Warfare etc., or PC games on Onlive on my phone, but prefer reading book or sth else on bus, or at class in school.

Surely this wreaks your battery though?
It's not so much important, it's not hard to buy a new battery :) I have been using sensation for 7-8 months (bought second hand), and have been heavily playing games from then on. My battery is still the same though. The only thing i'm afraid of is an unexpected explosion because phone gets very hot while playing, especially when the brightness is set to high.

Btw the problem on Sense roms does not seem to be kernel related. I tested on different kernels and roms.. It much seems to be related to rom itself.. Maybe some modifications needed.. But i'm not a dev.. :(

You really should try the joystick controller and try to add a hub

That's because your controller is now paired with your friends PS3, whereas before it was paired to your phone.

"If not already done, you must manually pair the controller with your phone. This can be done using 'SixaxisPairTool', or with 'MotionInJoy' or the linux utility 'sixpair'. Your phones bluetooth address should be shown at the bottom of the main application window and will look something like 1A:3C:13:00:21:C2; you need to enter this number into the 'SixaxisPairTool' as shown. This process only needs to be done the first time a controller is used on a different device, so if you only use the controller on one phone, you will only need to do it once."

Fix it by following this :
