It's actually not specifically a samantha issue. The same thing can (and does) happen over bluetooth, and even potentially direct USB tether (if one were to pull the cable out). The joystick.c template fails to get any packets from the controller, and just assumes the values should remain the same. (instead of entering a failsafe mode)
