Andoid tablet or smartphone” section, it is only possible to change the mode if you unpair the
controller and then pair it again with the new mode selected. This is a limitation of the Bluetooth
technology and not something that we can avoid.

3. My idroid:con behaves strangely and/or incorrectly.

Verify that you haven’t accidentally programmed one or more turbo buttons. See the “Using turbo

mode” section for information about activating and deactivating turbo mode.

If you are using Game Controller Mode, verify that you haven’t accidentally swapped the

functionality of the left thumbstick and the D-pad. If the front LED is constantly illuminated, this is
the case. Press the on/off button again and the LED should turn off.

Verify that you have mapped all the game controls to the desired buttons on the idroid:con.

Verify that the controller is within range of your tablet/smartphone. The maximum range of the

idroid:con is 10 meters; external factors may reduce it. Try to get closer to your device.

Are you using your idroid:con in an area with a lot of 2.4 GHz transmissions (other Bluetooth devices,

Wi-Fi routers, etc.)? Reduce the distance between your device and your controller or (briefly) turn
off the other devices to verify that they are not the source(s) of the errors.

Verify that your tablet/smartphone/laptop supports Bluetooth 3.0. Too little bandwidth and too

much latency can have negative effects on your idroid:con—simultaneous button-presses may not
work or there may be a noticeable delay before the game reacts to your input.

4. The device fails to show the on-screen keyboard while the idroid:con is paired

The idroid:con, in some modes (iCade, Keyboard, etc.) will be mistaken for an external keyboard by

the operating system. This will sometimes impair the system from displaying a keyboard for input.
Users rarely require both an on-screen keyboard and a game controller while playing games.

Simply hold down the power button to turn off the idroid:con, and your on-screen keyboard will

again become available. When you turn the idroid:con back on, it will automatically re-pair.

5. The iCade mode does not work correctly.

Verify that your iOS device uses the English U.S./QWERTY Hardware Keyboard Layout.
