Good day,
I have bought a Sony Xperia Z3 tablet for remote play purposes but cannot connect my ds4 controller to it. When i open the remote play app i press register controller and hold the PS button and share to connect the controller. When it starts to blink white it directly changes to a popup saying its pairing as you can see in the screenshot. After that nothing happens and it just stays in that condition. When i press the screen it says pairing unsuccesful please try again.
I can connect the controller directly by bluetooth and the tablet responds to my controller like it should. Though when i start the remote play app and connect to my ps4 it doesn't work and i have to use touchscreen buttons.
Anyone knows this problem and have a solution for it?

Hi all,
Not sure whether everyone knows this yet or not, but in one of the recent PS4 firmware updates it added a pairing function to the DS4 controller so it could be wirelessly paired with a Playstation 3 as well.. Turns it out also works with Android too (I've tested with my N7 2013 and N5, both running PAC rom 4.4.4) and it works straight away WITHOUT the need of a third-party app
- When the DS4 is off, press and hold the Share button and the PS Button and it enters pairing mode
- Search for bluetooth devices with your phone/tablet and it should come up straight away as Wireless Controller
Just thought i'd post this incase anyone didn't know about it and wanted to try it out on their device too and see if it works :good:

... seriously? read my post again and you'll have your answer.
Sent from my Nexus 7 2013 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm trying to pair my DS4 and rooted (but otherwise stock) N5 but it doesn't seem to work. I put the DS4 in discoverable mode (Share + PS buttons) and"Wireless Controller" shows up in the list of available devices, but when I try to pair them it just sits there "Pairing..." forever. It's been at it for almost 10 minutes now and nothing's happening. I tried restarting the phone and waiting like 20 minutes for the controller to restart but I've run out of ideas. Any suggestions?
Same Issue

I'm having exactly the same problem @Farlo1.
I did read somewhere that the early DS4s don't work using this method.
But those released after a certain date do.
I've got 2 DS4s but they're both from launch, so neither of them is working with this. The only way I've seen to use the DS4 is to invest in a cable, which I don't really want to do...
Let me know if you spot anything different!
Hey, I had my DS4 working flawlessly in my z3 compact, but since I have a GS5, the mapping is all screwy. I tried installing sixaxis and it just added a massive 1+ second lag, with only part of the button press registering, and then it goes all crazy and scrolls everywhere. This gets even worse in PPSSPP, where as soon as I touch the analogue stick it goes haywire... but it was flawless with my z3!
Anyone know anything about this?
doesn't work for playing
I connected everything and started ninjumb dash(game) but the controller(ps4)didn't turn the colour blue and it is not working
pls tell me what to do next

if u have ps4 ,remove socket of your ps4(otherwise when u press ps4 button it will turn on and automatically connect your controller)
and then press(ps4+share) to turn on Bluetooth(ds4)and search in Bluetooth and connect(wireless controller.
same problem

sorry for bringing this post back...
but i'm suffering with this exactly problem!!!
tested with a galaxy s7 edge and a nexus 5.
any workaround? fix?
Hi my DS4 connect to my phone normally but it works little bit slow and I don't know why ?
I know this is a really old post. Never mind. I am able to connect DS4 to my Android phone (using share and PS button), and play games (such as Final Fantasy from the play store), however the buttons are not configured correctly (X is cancel, O is confirm!). Is there any app that will remap the buttons. I have used Sixaxis for the PS3 controller, but would prefer to use the DS4. However each time you switch to Android gaming and PS4 gaming you need to reconnect the controller to each device with OTG cable which is a pain . I have tried Tincore app, but cannot get it to work as don't know how it works!

I was surprised at how easy this was, but yes seems to have some input lag,
I found this on reddit
"Now after about 30sec, and for some unknown reason, you will run into input lag. To fix this you will need to download an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect. Once installed goto Advanced Options - Connect Now. Once you push Connect Now the input lag should be gone."
I haven't had a chance to try this yet but seems promising
Ds4 controller syncs fine to my LG Aristo but it doesn't actually control ****, any game that uses a controller does not see the Ds4. I can use my ds3 with the sixaxis app but I can't do a thing with this Ds4.
So I am posting this everywhere as I found very little information about how to do this and trouble shooting some issues. Made a reddit post and going to post it here (I hope this is a proper place to put this).
Just hold down the PS button and Share till the light starts to flash. Go to your Bluetooth and pair the game controller.
Trouble shooting suggestions are on bottom.

If you are looking for a clamp I just bought something called Nyko Smart Clip - PlayStation 4 on Amazon for $10. TOTALLY WORTH IT!
Trouble Shooting:
I had an issue when pairing that it would see the device but wouldn't pair. What I had to do was turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on and try again.
Another issue I had was Bluetooth Auto Connect wasn't fixing the lag issue on my Samsung Note Pro (same device I had an issue pairing, my Samsung Note 4 didn't have any of these issues). I had to uninstall sixaxis controller then restart device. Then uninstall Bluetooth Auto Connect and restart device. Then connect DS4 controller. Then install Bluetooth Auto Connect and spammed Connect Now. It seemed to work. FYI my Note Pro is rooted but my Note 4 isn't and this works on both devices!
To repair the controller to your PS4 plug it in with your charging cable and push the PS button, it will pair immediately. I personally bought a 2nd controller so I wouldn't have to do that.
Hello, I tried this with my ps 4 controller and it says that the controller is paired but the light on the controller keeps flashing and it does not respond to any input and after some time it just turns off, the Bluetooth auto connect app just says that is unable to connect to wireless controller, please help, my device is a galaxy s7 edge.
Connecting the PS4 controller works for me but can't do anything else such as can't play games or anything, maybe a future update when everyone starts to cry a bit more about how the S7 Edge isn't compatible with any controller, I have tried 3rd party controllers and the right joystick and the rest of the buttons do not work, the only thing that works is the left joystick...
Before the 7.0 Nougat update on the S7 Edge (SM-G935P) the OTP (wired) connection would crash the phone; freezing the display, hard reboot. This happened on the OFW and rooted versions. Bluetooth would pair but you'd have to try multiple times and you'd need to delete the original pairing to repair (holding the pair buttons on the controller).
After the 7.0 Nougat update, controller support had been added- albeit horribly. The only connection is an OTP connection, Bluetooth still has errors. The button configurations are wrong though, the controller is useless. Square, X and circle are all wrong and triangle doesn't even register.
This is where I'm at, anyone know of any fix? I'm not looking forward to buying a Stratus XL (works perfectly but it's 60$)
I'm about to just switch from Samsung to Sony lol.
Unfortunately the guy that wrote this article is guilty of blatant douchbaggery (what good is a paired controller that cant be mapped and starts mapped completely out of whack). Yes you can 2 button pair a ds4 controller but a ds4 controller is encrypted and requires in linux and linux like os a driver called SCP (SONY CORP.SOMTHING......) That just isnt offered by any app ive seen on droid other than sixaxis. Alternately you could always hard wire it . The major flaw in this is the inability to stop the controller from charging in this case off your phone battery. As far as the mapping goes the only issue is android uses the generic abxy combo which is cross circle square triangle in ps4 speak . in retrospect .....i suppose i should have stopped reading when the author claimed no root. The controller keylayout files (.kl) are located in/system/user/keylayout. How are u supposed to do anything to those w/o root?
I have a asus ZenFone 3 deluxe (ZS550KL) and I recently tried to pair a Dualshock 4 controller to my phone but it doesn't work. The phone connects but when I press any button the controller remains unresponsive. On one game it says controller 1 connected but less than 3 second later it says controller disconnected. But blue tooth says that I'm connected to the controller. Please help.
Hi!
My device: S8+ (rooted.)
Installed and working Playstation Remote play on S8+, can use touch buttons to navigate and play, BUT!
With the Playstation Dualshock 4 controller connected with USB (OTG) it's not responding in the remote play app when app is connected to the playstation 4 and shows video, the controller works outside the connection to the ps4. When just in the application of the Remote Play app i can navigate with the controller but not after I connect the remote play to the ps4, only the touch button on the phone screen works then.
And by bluetooth it's very buggy, it dosent even connect or just freezes when trying to establish bluetooth connection betwen the phone and the controller.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Is it a first or second gen controller?
Would you mind pming me the link for remote play? I've only found outdated apks.. sorry can't help other wise though.

Sure thing, I'll give the link here so everyone can benefit from it ? you can find it down here below:
PS4 Remote Play v2.0.0.apk --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-ps-remote-play-enabler-t3575876
I've tried this tool but it was hard for me to succeed...
I managed to change master ID and found the dualshock 4 in the PC program so I could find its Bluetooth address but I can't go further than that...
http://dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxis-controller/sixaxispairtool/
Edit:
Managed to get connected with bluetooth now, se few comments below this, but it did not help with the responding in remote play app to recognize the inputs from the dualshock 4.
This is how I have it at the moment.
And here is a guide as well but his dualshock is connected to the ps4 and remote play on the phone is signed in on a second account on the ps4, the bad thing is the latency and you cannot be too far away from the ps4.
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ny-android-and-play-dualshock-4-tips-opinion/
Okej, getting closer but still not there yet.
Managed to connect now the Dualshock 4 controller to the phone with bluetooth.
Sixaxis method as mentioned in the beginning here, but the in the remote play when it's connected to the PS4 and showing the screening of the PS4 in the remote play, the controller dose nothing, it's like it dose not detect anything from the controller.
But when i disconnect but still in the remote play app i can navigate in the app menue in the remote play as normal with the Dualshock 4 controller, it do recognize the inputs from the controller in the app but stops to recognize directly after i connect the remote play to the ps4.......

Troubleshooting:
If you cannot se your local device bluetooth adress showing in the sixaxis app, do this:
(Bluetooth must be enabled)
1. From the Home screen, open the app drawer, then open “Settings“.
2. Scroll down to the bottom and tap “About Phone“, “About device“, or “About tablet“.
3. Scroll down to the bottom and tap “Status“.
4. Scroll down and the “Bluetooth address” will be shown in the list.
Now copy it so you can enter it in the PC/MAC program when connecting the D4 to the PC/MAC.
Been using the Sixaxis app on my Nvidia Shield tablet to play Gamestream games on my couch. I'm using the DS4 wirelessly over BT. The Shield is connected wired via OTG LAN adapter.
Have a couple of problems that I'm trying to sort out:
1. When I hold down any of the direction pad buttons, the input is taken as multiple fast presses so it's impossible to use in some games like GTA5 where you need to hold down a direction in order to change characters. This "long press" is actually used in quite a few games so it's a big bummer that it doesn't work properly.
2. I set auto-launch in the sixaxis app but when I switch to the console mode it doesn't pair with the DS4 when I turn it in. I have to stop and then re-start the sixaxis to get it to see the DS4.
Would really like to fix at least #1. Any suggestions?
PS: Shield is on Android 5.3.
Would someone who plays with the same setup (DS4 via BT) mind posting screenshot (or description) of their Sixaxis settings?
