About Sixaxis Enabler

NO ROOT, NO PAIRING. Enable supported devices to use wired PS3 DualShock 3/Sixaxis Controller natively. All you need is an Android device with USB-Host support, and connection cable (USB-OTG cable is needed for device with no built-in USB Host port). You can avoid the need of rooting, and skip the hassle of pairing the controller when switching between devices.

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 android.locnet@gmail.com.


Common Problem
1. 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 Tips
1. 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 possible
3. 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.

Now I can finally connected my PlayStation 3 controller (you going to need a OTG USB connector adapter for this one) and it's good to go!!!

I don't know if it is the app or the game, but whenever I play San Andreas the buttons on the controller are switched (square is cross and triangle is circle) I would like to see a feature that allows button remapping if possible. Other than that though, it works great!

I have just tried this with the quadcopter fx pro app and it works flawlessly. This combined with the app should save a bit of cash buying spares for the real thing. Highly recommend this and as many have said if you can get working via Bluetooth it would be perfect. Very pleased indeed.

Was contemplating rooting my phone just to connect my sixaxis controller to my phone, till I came across this app. Even though there was no free trial version, I thought for the cheap price I'd give it a shot. Well, it connected straightaway, without any hassle. Pity it has to stay connected by USB but I'm more than happy for now. Works great with all my emulators.

Works great on my Oneplus One. But I have one little problem. It's slow gaming. I move so slowly while playing games like 'Modern Combat 5: Blackout'. Is there any way to adjust it and speed it up?

Works like a charm Verizon galaxy s4. Had a few problems in the beginning but turned out it was my OTG cable. Fixed the problem by placing a small peace of masking tape on the OTG cable micro usb end. Just had to make a more snug fit in my phone. Hope to see a Bluetooth version of this soon (non root). Hands down a must for fps shooters. Thanks so much for this app.

Didn't work for my G5. Gives me the firmware error. I still give this app 4 stars because I'm sure you guys will get it working!

Worked great on Galaxy s4. Sadly does not on new phone. Waiting for update but doubtful it will show up. Too bad more people didn't download this great app.

It works well and is fast. I have had no problems, and I expect none. Must remember to unplug my PS3 next time, because I heard it turn on while I was in bed, but I was too lazy to go turn it off, and it was sitting there drinking electricity all night.

App did not work for my phone sent in a refund request and was told they couldn't verify my payment and to email again via Google Play, I did and still waiting for a reply. Seems like a great app unfortunately wouldn't work for me.

I came across this app and thought how much easier it would be to play game's on my Galaxy Note 4 with my PS3 Controller. I purchased this app and a OTG-USB and followed your easy to set up instructions, it connected no problems. I tested all game apps on my phablet with my controller and all works great. It was a miracle to come across your app. To think I was going to pay more than $100 to buy a Samsung Game pad. I spent $5 all up. Bargain

Most buttons are wrong or reversed. For example, when driving a car, X is brakes and square is accelerator, which is the opposite of what they should be. Can you put back the original default button positions? Or can you tell me how to fix this myself, if this is possible?

At first, I was hesitant to buy this app. But after reading the reviews and feedback I decided to buy this app and I was not disappointed! It works like charm!

Okay first review was good. But a few hours later it says firmware needs an update...smh. rele? Galaxy s4 verizon. Prolly won't work anymore. Don't buy for this phone. Sorry developers.

I would love it to work with the m9 but the firmware doesnt support it. What a shame.

Please help make the Google Pixel have firmware support. I managed to get connectivity recognition with OTG cable but hit the wall with the firmware. Any help would be greatly appreciated *A concerned citizen*

It would be nice if I could run this and then install my phone (Note5) in my Gear VR and plug the controller with my OTG cable into the Gear VR. Sadly it doesn't work. It does work without the VR though.

C70%
by C####:

Works great even though it states app has closed immediately when connecting via USB micro to mini OTG cable (does it every time) - yet I tried it with several games with no probs, via ePSXe (albeit right toggle a wee bit slow). Would like bluetooth capability, but this may be resolved with future update - definitely worth the money.

B70%
by B####:

I bought this when I had an S4 and I continued using it on my Note 4. Doesn't work on my S7E which sucks, so I'm hoping I can use it again in the next system update. I did notice, when connected with the OTG adaptor that came with the phone, the LEDs would keep flashing. When connected with a generic Mini to Micro USB cable, the 1st player LED would be solid.

by M####:

When using this app, or just having a ps3 controller plugged in, my device begins to act up. Apps start to close on their own with no warning, and my wallpaper turns black. When used with Minecraft Pocket Edition, the game eventually stops responding to all devices plugged into it via usb other than a mouse. I have also experienced moments where my device's keyboard wouldn't pop up or would only appear breifly. Once any of this starts happening, I have to reboot my device in order for it to work normally again.

It worked fine for a couple of days on my note 2 ( not rooted and OS 4.4.2). I played a lot of games but now I can't detect the controller again. I attach the controller with the OTG and open the app. But the controller only blinks for 3 sec and dies again. Also I tested my controller and OTG caples and they worked fine on my brother's phone which is the same. So....anyone had the same problem ? Or it's just me !!!!
