I am now reasonably confident that this is two separate unrelated bugs

1) Analog gamepad input stopped working on Android at some point in the past year

2) D-pad input *never* worked on Android for FireTV, Gamestick, and certain other gamepad controllers synched with other android devices.

D-pad input on OUYA only ever worked because OUYA uses a somewhat non-standard D-pad which apparently behaves a lot more like a constrained Analog stick.

** [bugs:#2015] Arrow keys broken for gamepads on Android port**

I am not sure when this started, but arrow key handling is totally broken on the Android port when playing with a gamepad (OUYA, Gamestick, FireTv)

This is most easily demonstrated with http://hamsterrepublic.com/tmp/inputtest-release-signed.apk

When playing inputtest on Windows/Mac/Linux or Android with the on-creen virtual gamepad, the arrow keys work as expected, turning red when pressed, or pink when held down.

When using a gamepad on an Android Console, pressing the analog stick causes the arrow keys to flicker green for a single tick, and then nothing. As for the D-Pad, it does absolutely nothing on a FireTV, and on an OUYA, the D-pad makes the arrow keys flicker green for one tick, remain dark for a few ticks, and then stay on solid green.

This definitely wasn't happening 10 months ago, so something has changed since then, but danged if I know what yet.
