That's what I thought, until I read this on afterpad.com "Despite my previous reports, iOS 8.1 does not appear to fix the disconnect problem, at least not as of the second beta."
I'm running iOS 8.1 beta 2... Bluetooth controllers are still broken on this build, will keep you posted on beta 3(when it gets released)
For anyone in the UK, the Logitech Powershell is currently on amazon.co.uk for £17.99. I know it doesn't have analogue sticks and didn't get the greatest of reviews. At that price though, it's almost worth it as an emergency charger alone!
Yeah, beta 1 never fixed it at all, I just screwed up on that one. The device I happened to install the beta on - the iPhone 6 - just doesn't exhibit the problem nearly as bad as the other devices. Still has it, though, as do all other devices running all iOS betas. On the plus side, I've been in contact with Apple about it, and they're actively working on fixing it. Yep, a good deal at that price! Americans can grab on for 21 dollars at Target, and 30 on Amazon
Not many... Mage Gauntlet Secret of Mana Bastion Across Age 2 Those are the only 'action' RPGs I've got on my phone now... I'm sure there's a few more, but yeah, we need more KRPGs with MFi support. The genre seems to have died down over the last couple years... =o(
I haven't looked at Across Age 2. Does it play like Zelda or like Secret of Mana? Might have to try it.
The premise is more similar to Chrono Trigger, with time shifting components. It's pretty good, I recommend giving it a shot if you're a fan of those games
Love using the ps4 controller with the ipad in MFI games. However if I idle for a while then it disconnects and gets a little wonky with pairing again. I just restart the whole device to keep it simple. Does this happen with official devices?
Yes,it happen with all Bluetooth controllers,with iOS 8x,iOS 8.1 doesn't Fix nothing..with some games they work well,while with other doesn't work at all..
Does the problem you're describing only happen in iOS 8, or did it also happen in iOS 7 with official controllers? I know zergslayer69 isn't using iOS 8, since there's no jailbreak for iOS 8 yet, so his question was about iOS 7, (and hopefully iOS 8 once Apple gets around to fixing this.)
The problem it's only on every device running iOS 8,if you're on iOS 7,you're safe,it's a problem that Apple had to fix on iOS 8,and officially MFI standard controllers work with iOS 8,only Bluetooth Controllers are broken by the new OS..like MOGA REBEL and MAD CATZ C.T.R.L.I...with some games they work,but with others doesn't,disconnections.and so on.
Do you know some examples of games that don't work so I can test those? I only had time last night to try with Wayward Souls, but I have a couple other to try with. My disconnection problem only happened when the phone (and then the controller) went to sleep. No problems during the game.
Here you can find a good list of game that work,and games that don't work: http://afterpad.com/post/97900929220/ios8-bluetooth-mfi-controller-compatible-games
Funky... I just played Monster Hunter (which is on the broken list) last night and it worked fine. I haven't updated to 8.1 yet. I only did one mission so if the problem surfaces after a long time then maybe that's why I didn't see it...
Ha, sorry... It was at the end of my MFi folder because I think they said something about adding it... Could be wrong and just full of hope though. =oP
