So when I am in my XMB my controller will sometimes just STOP working! Like I can only use my PS button!!!!!!!!! It never happens in a game though. How do I fix it? Why is it doing this?????

I have had this happen to me multiple times when I have different devices going on all at once. For instance my USB keyboard, controller, and bluetooth headset. I think it just happens when the PS3 is trying to pair up with the headset. Usualy just restarting the system helps mine, but sometimes I have to unplug the keyboard and turn off the headset then restart. So try those out too.

every1 always says they have trouble with their controllers and that they disconnect for a few seconds, but i have never had a problem with mine (touch wood).

the only thing that annoys me is when you play a ps2 game and you have to connect the controller again starting the game and finishing lol, not a biggie but can be annoying.

If you controller is cutting out or unresponsive at times it is because you have other wireless signals interfering with the bluetooth one
