Yes in order for the USB mini charging cable to work it must be plugged into the PS3 that is on and it will stop charging until the PS3 is turned back on.
it usually takes 2 hours
I think that there's a cable that you can connect the PS3 controller when I first got mine I used it to charge the remote that might work
It probably does but, you just aren't giving it enough time to charge. If you are make sure the remote is actually plugged into the charger. The remote won't turn on because it might still need a charge. I found that I needed to auto turn off the controller in settings when I turned off the PS3. I also did not realize that they do not recharge while the PS3 system is off and they will lose there power if not turned off.
Mine needs to carge for just one hour and it is fully charged.
Either you need to:- - Charge the controller. - Turn the PS3 on and off again. - Put new batteries in the controller. - Or if you have more than 1 controller then you can use another one.
you connect a psp to a ps3 using a usb plug and you go on your psp to remote play which acts like a remote.
turn on a ps3 then turn on a controller, any ps3, any controller.
Your remote works on a different system than the Bluetooth the PS3 uses. The HDMI sync on my slim PS3 ( Fat PS3s lack the hardware for HDMI Sync) allows me to use my Sony HDTV Remote and also my Sony Home Theater Remote even though they are not Bluetooth to control the Playing of DVDs and Blue Ray Discs and the selections from the PS3 menu bar. I can not sync my Cable remote to do anything on the PS3 even though I can get it to work some features for the Home Theater and HDTV If you want to sync the PS3 optional remote you need to plug it in to the PS3 with the charging cable to get it to sync with the PS3
No
you have to turn it on by remote
The controller for the PS3 is different because it senses the movement of the controller and the PS2 controller does not.
Do you mean can a PS3 controller be a mouse because even the Sony PlayStation PS3 remote control is set up as a controller. I believe Logitech has a Keyboard and mouse that were designed for the PS3 for about $80
