Sixaxis Enabler
After the controller is enabled you can use it with games and mapping tools which support native controller.
NOT ALL DEVICES AND AFTERMARKET CONTROLLERS ARE SUPPORTED, AND ONLY WORK WHEN CABLE IS CONNECTED. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE BAD COMMENT IF YOUR DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED.
If it is working with your device please share the information in comments, otherwise please get a refund and report to [email protected].
Common Problem1. The #1 reason for failure is an incorrect/incompatible cable, if the app cannot detect the controller please go through the troubleshooting section.2. Another common problem is insufficient power provided by the device, in this case an external powered USB Hub is needed.3. Finally, incompatibility mainly come from lacking Sixaxis support from Firmware, in this case only the device manufacturer can fix the problem through Firmware update.
General Troubleshooting Tips1. make sure your PS3 controller is working with the USB cable properly, when plugging into a PC, windows should detect and add it as new gamepad although windows won't response to button press.2. make sure your OTG cable is working with your device, test with an USB keyboard/mouse if possible3. make sure nearby PS3 (or any other devices you have paired with the the controller) is powered off, otherwise the controller may try to connect with those device through Bluetooth instead.4. if you have ever installed any other apps which can work with PS3 controller directly, you may need to uninstall them.

Works fine for Huawei P10 Plus as per the app description. The clear instruction explained how to troubleshoot and for me took three app restarts before all the buttons working and all the error messages including some posted here were able to be overcome. The caveat to note is that the functions of the A and X buttons and those of B and Y were reversed when playing GTA VC android. A shame this app doesn't have an option to remap also, but 5 starts because it worked exactly as described.
I use this app to connect the PS3 controller to my Honor 9 lite. The left stick (L3) is working fine. However, the rest of the other button are not working. I have followed the troubleshooting guide and restart the app a few times but with no results. Any suggestions?
Was working perfectly. Earlier today even but now get warning message. I had my displaylink hooked up with screen ps3 controller using this app to connect controler. All working fine, everytime have to tap to approve connection. Now after reset phone i only get a warning this app was build for older android model, and wont connect. Edit: discovered fail issue was if galaxy not spen is not inserter during connection it wont detect. I put pen in before starting, can take out after. Working well
This is awesome playing games like gta without a controller on a phone is pointless, being able to hook my ps3 controller to my s9 is awesome, i love it. The only reason i gave 4 stars is because you have to use a cable, hopefully a workaround for wireless will come about
It works, but only when connected via USB (admittedly, as listed in the description). My Pixel 3 already supports using the Sixaxis controller natively over USB though, so I highly recommend trying that first.
I was told I could connect two controllers for Bluetooth after plugging in so I could play multiplayer with my nephew but it only reads the controllers while plugged in and because its a tablet I can only have one controller plugged in. Refunded because I can't use wireless.
Below I left my initial impression of the is app. I as a gamer I wanted to find a solution to use a controller on my S10e to and I love the Daulshock 3 design. I emailed the company, and Locnet emailed my back, with a explanation of the limitation of this software as a interface that needs proper support on the device level. I say try it out but It is a trial and error depending on what you own. "Original Review" S10e, same as the other person Juan Saa review. Only one analog and the L1, L2, Select, and Start work on with dualshock 3 controller. Rest app, controller many time per instructions. No joy. Get a warning from my device saying the app was intended for older versions.
Worked perfectly on the first version of the ROG phone with Android Pie freshly installed. I got a popup warning that it might not work but no problems so far on a whole bunch of emulators. Thanks devs!
While I'm sure that it works well with other phones. It doesn't work with the LG g8. So I couldn't give it a five-star. But you can see the controller registering the controls. I just can't use it on any games. My main reason for trying to use it was for call of duty. But you know.
App works great, no issues. The controller can be used with any games that support controllers, just like Xbox controllers.
Works great to use a PlayStation 3 controller on some Android devices. I have had some devices not work with this app. Find you were devices work flawlessly.
This App Is Not working,When I open App it is showing That Detecting Controller 🎮 When I attached My controller To It I don't see any change In it,I have Done All Troubleshooting steps Cleared All Cache,Data, Restated The Device,Pinned The Controller But still Not working,So I request For Refund,Order Id And other details Ihave sent via Email,please check
Does what it says on the tin, worked a charm on Galaxy Tab A 6, with a 3rd party ps3 controller, very straight forward. Didn't work on Moto E4, it says I got the wrong firmware, any suggestions?
Still looking to play minecraft with ps4 remote. App does not support S7. Please read description of working and non working phones before buying. I refunded, but I need to check my bank to see if the money is back.
Does not allow you to pair. Just cabled connection - which already works natively on my phone. (Note8 + PS3 controller)
Tried multiple controllers and cables none would work, other usb devices work perfectly fine. Android version 9.
I usually don't like apps from the PlayStore, and I usually prefer F-Droid, but for me, this is a must have. It does as it says and hasn't failed me. 5 stars and Great Job!
I am pretty sure that it is sixaxis enabler i had it installed 3yrs ago.. it has change IME option where I can map keys.. and it was free..
Doesn't work. Get just the keypad but not any button, and you dont need the app for this as automatically mobile detects it. Good i could get refund
Bought this on one device and can't install it on another using the same account so I can play with two controllers on 2 devices. Totally not worth paying for this.
No good...you cannot map your controller to your phone and they don't reply to emails. They just say they cannot verify your purchase...so waste of money...don't pay
App looks great, but it didn't work with Huawei Nova 3 probably because the firmware doesn't support Sixaxis.
it works and it also doesnt work for the s10 help me fix this pls edit: it doesnt map the ps3 controller properly on the s10 is what I meant to say
love it so far was finally able to play my doom was with a controller and not touch screen and that alone makes it worth the 2.50 after more use will rate 5 stars if all is still good in a few days
Google Pixel lacks the correct firmware. going to give 5 stars since it was very clear that it may not work.
It says firmware lacks sixaxis support. Stopped. I just bought and it doesn't work and it doesn't refund too.
My phone makes it easy for this app (Oppo AX5) and it has an org setting which makes it easy for me and this app to function
If you don't want poor feedback, try adding more pertinent information into you product and app store page. I downloaded the compatibility testing app and woohoo, apparently all was compatible...except it isn't and you don't discover that until you buy the main app. Firmware lacks sixaxis support! Great, where can I google more information about that...err, no where! The new CoD Android app by Activision won't work with Sixaxis because, not surprisingly, it want's a proper Bluetooth connected device to connect the app to. The PS3 controller refuses to connect to the Bluetooth, despite using 0000 or 1234, and all that is left is to play apps using the OTG cable...except for the fact that oh opps, you can't play CoD using the OTG cable. Thoroughly disappointed at the waste of time and money spent on buying cables and an app, yet still I have to use Android screen controls to play the game. People aren't mind readers! Perhaps in future you will provide some addition and useful info up front!!!!!!
