Homebrew RELEASE MissionControl: Use controllers from other consoles natively via Bluetooth

[ndeadly]

This is my controller connected to the console via OTG cable while using Bluetooth. No blinking lights, but the console displays the charging indicator next to the controller icon.

What do you mean by in sync? Connected via bluetooth? What I'm getting at here is that the LEDs on the controller and charging indicator on the console can be controlled via software. This doesn't necessarily mean the contoller isn't being charged. That's all negotiated at the hardware level, AFAIK. You may still have a valid point, I'm just trying to get all the facts straight.

Sync via bluetooth. It's working flawlessly. one dot light indicator is on when I'm using it. But when I plug through wired. It'll blink all light just once and it will disconnect, no light indicator anymore. But all is fine. I'm just wondering if there's like a work around to charge the controller while I'm using my PS4 controller to play.

I never got a charging symbol when I connected my PS3 controller through docked. I don't have OTG. I'll try to experiment later on then report. I'll barrow my cousin's wired cable for ps3 controller.

This might be dock behaviour, or even your USB cable. I have certain USB cables that won't charge my PS4 controllers for example. I don't really use my console much in docked mode so can't comment on that.

On my console, plugging the USB cable via OTG while the controller is connected via Bluetooth shows the charge indicator but the player LEDs remain unchanged. If I disconnect the controller from Bluetooth and plug the USB cable, it flashes indefinitely like you describe as charging behaviour. This is what I would expect. I think your issue is related to the hardware somehow.
