Solved How to see battery level of dualshock 3?

Stephcreas · September 17, 2017

Hey iosgods users

I use A Dualshock 3 with my iPhone SE (Jailbroken 9.3.3).

For that , the tweak "Controller For All" is perfect. But I don't get a PS3 nor Computer at home. (For pairing , I do it with my iMac where I work) .

I would know how to see Battery level of thé dualshock 3 (sixaxis)?

Someone can help me ?

Thanks for all.

There are 2 ways. If you are in a game right now, press the home/menu button where it sends you to homescreen, and you should see the battery level at the top right of the screen either on 4 bars or 1. Second way i believe is by connecting your dualshock to a charger, if it doesn't show up, then unplug it. It should do it the first time. Phone should probably be connected to a charger instead of the dualshock charger. Sorry if i didn't help.

If its Bluetooth then it should show a battery in the status bar unless its not supported for that.

@Baker Ya Maker

In first way, you mean the home button of iPhone or Dualshock ?

iPhon's button sends on homescreen, so automaticly when you exit game , the gamepad connection stops and I don't use usual Bluetooth, I explain it in second answer ( to thearmprincess)…

One important thing : a charger doesn't work with these gamepad. It needs data and power… And of course Sony has created a too simple method : when data is plugged, we lose pairing beetwen iPhone and Dualshock

@TheArmPrincess

Dualshok isn't mfi, and doesn't use Bluetooth like other devices. In settings Bluetooth is disabled. It's the reason why I ask that…

So last very important thing : LOTS OF THANK TO YOU BOTH

hi. i also use ps3 controller on my ipad ios 9.3.3 JB.

here's what u have to do. (very simple)

* connect your controller to your iphone SE, then choose a game.

*when you are in the game, press the home button of your controller.

it should pop up a icon that saying if you want to disconnect your controller, and a battery percentage.

i hope thats help you.

Thanks a lot !!! You re the best

So it's very cause I m was playing and this time I ve changed settings in the tweak Controller For All. I switched off "automatic"

So I wanna stop game for a short moment. In "manual' mode we must disconnect with home button of controller ("PS" wrote on) and this time I read entirely the pop-up! And yes percentage is writen !

Happy to see that, I decide to explain that here and edit title of this topic "solved"… And I find your answer ! too fun! I like all these little things…

So thank you

(Excuse me, for my english… I hope you understand what I mean)
