PS4 is hard-wired.

WiFi is AC.

Even 10 feet from the router its completely unplayable. 1 SECOND of lag at least and disconnects. Nvidia SHIELD runs perfect without a hitch... streaming 720p as well from my Desktop computer with the same situation as the PS4.

There is something wrong with Remote Play, and part of it may be the Z3's horrible Wifi connection compared to other devices. At least in my experience, it gets no where near the range as my Galaxy S5 did, or my iPad, or even the SHIELD which is notorious for bad WiFi range.
[Xperia Z3 General] mrgizmoe:
No, i was still on WiFi, you will not get much luck being on Cell Network

are you using Standard mode as well? Could be that the wifi in the z3 has weak reception. That sucks =/ but I've been successfully playing The Last of Us all evening via remote play, I feel like my vita runs *SLIGHTLY* better than on my z3, but the DS4 is much better than using vita controls, if only sony just added DS4 pairing to the vita +_+

IMO, with the PS4 2.0 & Remote play launch (I knew they would be together) It could be PSN issues? They've had issues in the past. (Ill cross my fingers its just that)
[Xperia Z3 General] lucky leathers:
I have been playing Destiny and infamous Second Son all afternoon. Everytime I start a new game there is about 30sec to a minute of 1-3sec lag. Then the controller catches up and works pefectly!!!! Unless there is a huge amount of on screen action like a boss battle and then a half second jump or lag may happen once or twice but still completely playable.

In fact, I am laying in bed typing this on the xperia and just completed the daily challenge on Destiny entirely via remote play. So far, coming from the note 3, remote play is the only thing I really like about the Xperia.

BTW, my PS4 is hardwired to the router.
[Xperia Z3 General] jonshipman:
Make sure your ps4 is connected via ethernet.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Yeah, mine worked perfectly too until FFXIV needed a 2GB update :( oh well, to bed I guess.
[Xperia Z3 General] sfex3best:
It's strange how share play is exactly the same thing as the remote play and I have not seen anyone complaining about that.

I think it's fine. You just need a strong internet connection. I'm sure it'll be improved later on as well.
[Xperia Z3 General] ayamgoreng:
Is it confirm that remote play won't work with unlocked bootloader ?
[Xperia Z3 General] mattlgroff:
No problems with Nvidia SHIELD streaming in the same setup.

This is hardwired the same as the PS4... quite low enough latency to play and "should" work fine. However, 1 second input lag and disconnects no matter how strong the WiFi signal for the Z3. I don't think my connection is the problem here.
[Xperia Z3 General] sfex3best:
Been playing infamous for a couple hours now it's awesome.Both remote play and the game. It works so well.

[MENTION=1100879]MatG[/MENTION]lgrof My internets worse than that. Its only 30mb dload and 2mb upload. But it works fine from first floor to attic.

Ps4 is wired

Set it up on standard.

I agree with you that it could better supported for those with lower connections. But its only early days my friend.
[Xperia Z3 General] 1981suede:
Internet speed is totally irrelevant if you are using remote play over the same network your PS4 is connected to. Those having problems should use a wifi analyzer to see if the channel you are using is congested and ideally have the PS4 hooked up to the router over ethernet.
[Xperia Z3 General] diggerbucket:
I was under the impression that if you hard wire the PS4 to your router with ethernet, then the PS4 wifi card can make a direct connection to your Xperia device. Anyone know if this is true, and how to set it up that way?

I see an option in PS4 settings to make a direct connection to PS Vita or PSTV, but does this work for Xperia and how do you see which way it's connected?
[Xperia Z3 General] jumper62:
Could someone upload the apk
[Xperia Z3 General] bulldogg9279:
My upgrade needs to hurry up and get here.
[Xperia Z3 General] Dom3000:
I don't know why is everybody talking about and comparing each other Internet connection. It is completely irrelevant for remote play in your home network
[Xperia Z3 General] mgftp:
Ok, so on a WiFi other than what your PS4 is on?

Why do you say cell network wouldn't work? Simply because they have made it unable to work over network? I get better speeds through my 4G than most people get on their home internet. So if it's working for people through WiFi that does not contain the PS4, it's essentially using local WiFi speeds to do so, so I am wondering why it wouldn't work through 4G. Or am i missing something?
[Xperia Z3 General] mrgizmoe:
This is True. if your playing over the same network it should be the most optimal (i still get better results with my ps4 wired in, due to my ps4 wifi sucking). Again internet speed matters when your NOT on the same network.

Because not everyone is talking about using it on the same network.

If Your cell phone network is More reliable than your home network, thats an issue. (at least for me it is). In my opinion, A mobile network just Should not be more reliable than your home network if set up properly. Depending where you live (here in the states) unlimited 4G data is not too common. So I'd assume even if you do get good enough speeds over your network, you wouldn't want to suck up your entire plan in 2 hours of remote play.
[Xperia Z3 General] oryan_dunn:
Does the remote play feature work if you disconnect your router from the internet?
[Xperia Z3 General] mgftp:
I do have unlimited 4G, and great speeds. My cable company caps my home internet speed so my wireless service is indeed better.

But, we're getting sidetracked on what I am trying to figure out here. Not having a Z3 and being able to try it myself I am trying to get some confirmation that it will work over the cell network or a wifi network other than the one your PS4 is on? Or is the service programmed so it will only work on the same network as your PS4?
[Xperia Z3 General] Robo56:
I currently have a Vita, and I can say for the most part remote play is pretty solid. I was running through a mobile hotspot this past weekend, and while it wasn't the best experience, it was more than playable. I was able to finish the weekly strike while on a trip to Cleveland with my PS4 back in Cincinnati!

I just wish I was able to get the Z3 on ATT :/

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Now if they could just get the DS4 to direct connect to the Vita, I could be held over until I can get my hands on an unlock Z3 :D
[Xperia Z3 General] oryan_dunn:
Yeah, if you're on mobile share, you can drop the smartphone charge for a given line if your bring your own phone. If you get an unlocked, make sure to get the D6603 or D5803 for full LTE support.
[Xperia Z3 General] jmoak:
Yeah, I connected via WiFi to my router which my PS4 is hard wired into and unplugged my modem. Remote play still works. Like everyone said Internet speeds are irrelevant because the connection is established locally.
[Xperia Z3 General] mrgizmoe:
Yes it CAN work on 4G network IF your ps4 is online, but if your ISP caps your speeds than your phone having 4G wont matter if your ps4 cant stream fast enough. However, you can use Ad-hoc mode and bypass all of that (basically your phone just connects to your ps4 bypassing the router) but it doesn't have very good range so it wont really work outside of your home in Ad-hoc mode. At my house where my ps4 is upstairs and my basement is 3 stories below with mostly brick walls I cant even get it to connect through adhoc at all.

ONLY if your connected to the PS4 Using ad-hoc, if you connected via "internet" and u disconnect your modem you will lose connection, you can reconnect again after.

That means you are connecting to your PS4 Via Ad-hoc. Internet speeds are not irrelevant when your doing other wise. kinda feeling like a broken record (O_O)
[Xperia Z3 General] jmoak:
No, it's not connected via ad hoc directly to my PS4.
[Xperia Z3 General] clubmajestyk:
I've tried it and it's acceptable with a little bit of lag, I think it all depends on how good your router is if you're playing under the same network.
[Xperia Z3 General] ladelfm:
Can someone explain how to get ad-hoc mode to work? My phone isn't connecting when I selected it from the ps4 menu. I see the ps4 putting out an ad-hoc wifi signal but the phone or app isn't connecting.
[Xperia Z3 General] diggerbucket:
Echo this, can't see any option for ad hoc?
[Xperia Z3 General] mrgizmoe:
Do you have [Connect Directly with PlayStation®Vita/TV System] checked? I havnt actually tested it myself to see if this works with the xperia, but I have tried this with my Vita... its not as reliable as using my router. (much less range)

Not all routers are created equally, some are faster than others. Again my statement stands if you are connecting to your ps4 outside of your network internet speed matters.
[Xperia Z3 General] finty:
Few observations from a quick test of the feature. Before I start my main use for this feature is single player games while the other half is hogging the TV. Our router is in the living room 6 feet away.

First off changing the video quality from standard to high offers a far better experience in my eyes, surpassing remote play on my vita easily.

I booted up NFS first and found it totally unplayable. Button presses were not registered for 2-3 seconds then the system acted as if the button was being continuously held down. I quickly figured out that the always online nature of this particular game was causing the problem. Disconnecting from PSN solved this issue, although if Sony would just let us keep the DS4 directly connected to the ps4 and only stream the video to the z3 input lag could be greatly reduced. I did try this out but connecting a DS4 to the PlayStation disconnects you from remote play, hopefully this can be fixed in a future update.

If I go upstairs it just disconnects but I would say this has more to do with my chappy ISP supplied router.
[Xperia Z3 General] enfurno:
2.0 has a ton of issues, they'll work it out.
[Xperia Z3 General] finty:
I could be wrong on this but I'm pretty sure ad-hoc/direct connect are off the table for the z3, mainly because on Vita this prevents the system from access the Internet over WiFi.
[Xperia Z3 General] enfurno:
I'm having serious latency issues has anyone found a work around? Ps4 wired, Nighthawk router, I've even tried setting a dedicated wireless network for my z3. I do notice that the ps4 has an ssid but I can't figure out how to or if I even can connect directly to it. It just says bad password when I try.

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------

What do you mean by changing the video quality. On the ps4?
[Xperia Z3 General] jmoak:
I believe he's talking about the quality settings in the remote play app itself, not on the PS4.
[Xperia Z3 General] finty:
Yes quality settings are in the app.
[Xperia Z3 General] enfurno:
Found them, though that didn't fix the latency issue. Nor did segmenting the ps4 and xperia to their own network, I tried both 2.4 and 5ghz. Note my ps4 is hard wired to a Nighthawk, nat type 2, I set a day on it and obtained nat 1 but that didn't help anything either. Sony will hopefully fix this, my vita works flawlessly other than the fact that the controls are almost completely useless for anything other than platformers.
[Xperia Z3 General] kalle788:
I got my new z3 tablet yesterday and immediately used remote play because this feature is the main reason I bought this Tab.

Unfortunately I am underwhelmed by the performance.

My Ps4 is wired hooked up to a Easybox 803 (from Vodafone). The Z3 Tablet is connected via WiFi of course.

It doesn't matter if I play Destiny, Resogun or Games like Fez. The Gameplay is smooth but every 30 sec or 1 min I experience a freeze for 2-3 seconds or the picture stuttered or something equal... Very annoying.

I tried to put the Ps4 in the DMZ of the Easybox but same result. WiFi Connection on my home WiFi is at 144mb/sec, n only and 2,4 GHz, don't know if that is enough or not to remote play smoothly.

Any idea on how I can improve my gaming experience?
[Xperia Z3 General] raizdepi:
Really works!! It's amazing !! :good:

Help about z3 remote play internet requirements

I currently dont have a z3 atm but im looking to get one. I get 5mb and 800kb internet speed in the UK. I tried the share play feature with my friend on ps4 but he coudlnt see my screen because it said my internet was to slow but i could see his screen and control his screen but at a low resolution. My ps4 is connected to the router via wifi but my ps4 is next to thr router, i want to find out if remote play on the z3 will work well appreicate if somebody could answer back thanks.
[Xperia Z3 General] sfex3best:
It's not about your intenet speed just make sure your wireless signal is strong enough. For me it works with full bars like a dream but 2 bars and it starts to struggle but its still playable even then.

The only problem with it is that in some games the input lag is noticible. So if you wanna play competitive online you should forget about it. But if your just after a bit of fun in something like grand theft auto or infamous or any adventurous game it is fantastic.
[Xperia Z3 General] finty:
Yeah like the guy above me has said, this is completely useless for online gaming due to the increased lag, same as remote play on the vita. It is excellent for continuing a single player games though (Shadow of Mordor etc.), better than Vita as you can use a DS4.

Just need them to release the GCM10 already.
[Xperia Z3 General] marc539:
There might be some settings in wireless router configuration that need to be modified to work properly, there are so many different router types and some might not work as efficient. I use Dlink Extreme wired in to ps4 with comcast speeds of 25mbs and it works flawless. Standard wireless configuration that came with router
[Xperia Z3 General] kakavin:
y

Yeah i just want to know if it will work before i get the z3
[Xperia Z3 General] Dom3000:
It depends on protocol your router supports also
[Xperia Z3 General] sfex3best:
Hi ppl.

I just realised that my ps4 and Xperia were both setup to nat type 3. A quick google told me that port forwarding should change it to at least nat type 2.

*"Port forwarding*of TCP port 9295, and UDP ports 9296 and 9297." don't forget to restart the router after this.

So forwarding these things change both my Xperia and my PlayStation to nat type 2. And the remote play experience is faar better now. I am really struggling to notice any delay at all. I might actually be able to play competitive online thats how good it is.
[Xperia Z3 General] kitch9:
I have the same issue with my Z3 tablet, if you find a fix give me a shout. It's not the router because I've tried 3 and they all exhibit the same behaviour.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

I have the same problem with my Z3 tablet, if you find a fix give me a shout. It's not the router I've tried 3 different ones and they all do the same.
[Xperia Z3 General] N8dawgg:
I think I found the issue the GPS/location is interfering with remote play! since I disabled it it's worked flawlessly!
[Xperia Z3 General] kitch9:
Dude I'll try this today and if it works you'll be my hero of the day. Do you have to disable location completely or just the Wi Fi aspect of it?
[Xperia Z3 General] N8dawgg:
I disabled location through the quick settings I'm not sure if that disables the Wifi aspect too.
[Xperia Z3 General] kitch9:
I can confirm remote play works great with Location switched off, thanks for your suggestion.
[Xperia Z3 General] N8dawgg:
Glad i could help! I spent hours as well stressing why I couldn't get it to work on my phone but it worked fine on my fiances z3 compact!
[Xperia Z3 General] thecraigmcrae:
You have no idea how excited I am to go home and try this. I was excessively playing destiny and my wife was not happy, so I used remote play. It was fine for a while then would drop, and I was right in front of the ethernet connected ps4 and my ausu ac wireless router. Dumbfounded... really hope this works.
[Xperia Z3 General] phatdub:
holy crap that worked, im now playing Call of Duty AW multiplayer with no issues.
[Xperia Z3 General] kanewangkw:
Please do post your result, I'm having similar issue and also using a ASUS AC66U.
[Xperia Z3 General] thecraigmcrae:
Turns out there was an issue with my router. Not necessarily location on my phone. I have an Asus rt-ac68u. There's a known issue, with a firmware update there's an "optimize for xbox" check box, you need to enable it for each band, 5ghz and 2.4ghz. Since this was a top selling AC router at best buy and Amazon in the first line of AC routers that came out last year, i'm guessing a few others might be having the same issue.
[Xperia Z3 General] kanewangkw:
Yes I remember that option, I've just left it unchecked.

So you are saying after you've turned on that Xbox option for both bands, Remote Play has stopped all the frozen screen and low frame rate issue?
[Xperia Z3 General] thecraigmcrae:
I said to ensure both bands were enabled because I checked one and was actually connected to the other band, so I wasn't getting the proper results. Once I enabled it for the right band, it worked flawlessly. Even with location services on, I can now play no problem. It's a really easy test, just check the box and try it out.
[Xperia Z3 General] kanewangkw:
I've tried it last night, the performance has improved but I was still experiencing frozen screen occasionally. Then I turned off Location later, remote play finally can be played smoothly.

So I guess Location does mess with Remote Play after all.
[Xperia Z3 General] mrDmola:
So I've already bought a new router that's coming in next week (the Archer C7 V2) so I'm helping this helps a lot with my networking issues. Right now, I'm not at my place for thanksgiving, but I'm using the same router that I currently have at home, the legendary Linksys WRT54GL (I know it's old). I've been messing around with remote play trying to get it to work because I'm getting the 'connection is too low' message a lot. Well, it turns out that when I don't have my PS4 controller connected to my Xperia Z3 Compact, it seems to work fine! When the controller is connected to the phone via bluetooth, then that's when I'm unable to connect... What in the F is going on here?

Update: It doesn't seem matter whether I connect my controller directly to the PS4 with the bluetooth off on my phone. As soon as connect the controller to my PS4, I lose connection from Remote Play...
[Xperia Z3 General] mvernx:
Similar situation here, have the experia z2 tablet and the remote play works at home until the DS4 controller is enabled with the tablet then it drops out roughly within 10 seconds of connecting to the ps4. Infact it drops the whole wifi most of the time to everything. The ps4 is hardwired to asus rt ac66u router running dd-wrt. Not sure if theres an equivelent gaming option to stock but the controller is what kills everything. I have wrt54g with dd-wrt that I changed out a few months ago so i might give that a try that but its wierd that the controller connecting to the tablet kills the whole router wifi!!

Update connecting the tablet to the 5ghz wifi seems to have solved this, I guess the blue tooth and 2.4 wifi interfere too much!!
[Xperia Z3 General] mrDmola:
Yeah this certainly seems possible. Anyone else can weigh in if they have experience on this. I'll have to keep this in mind when my Archer C7 comes in.
[Xperia Z3 General] kanewangkw:
Yes, Bluetooth and WiFi 2.4G interfers with each other is the main reason I've bought a dual band router. And it's also an AC66U.

Set your router 5G WiFi setting to N-AC only and frequency to 80MHz would also improve the remote play performance.
[Xperia Z3 General] mrDmola:
Update: My Archer C7 came in last night. I flashed to the latest stock firmware and did some speed tests. Already have seen a good improvement. Next, I connected my Xperia Z3 Compact to the 5ghz band and the PS4 to my router via Ethernet... Remote play is working flawlessly...

I'm on a 25 mbps connection and thinking about going to 50 because it's not much more expensive. The next test I'm going to try is using remote play from out of state and seeing if that works well on a 25mbps connection.
[Xperia Z3 General] sfex3best:
I had an old router on 2.4ghz and it was glitching too often. Upgraded to a dual router that supported both 5ghz, 2ghz and bam the game never drops conections or glitches out. It's perfect even with 1 wifi bar it still works flawless.

I have a 50mb internet connection now and only a week ago I had 30mb. I can tell you right now the internet speed did not make a difference at all.

I think you can get away with minimum 5mb net speed.

Just make sure of these things:

5ghz with high link speed my Xperia shows (433mbps)

Nat type 2 or 1

Wired ps4

Mine was nat type 3 before i started port forwarding. Now its 2 on both the ps and Xperia.

The link speed can be set on the router website.

The biggest difference was made when changing the frequency to 5GHZ though.

So if it's not working correctly for you this is the first thing I would change.

I'm no internet expert though some of the above may not make a difference at all.
[Xperia Z3 General] mrDmola:
The increase is in speed is more because I want to see how it performs remotely out-of-state (and for faster downloads/streaming in general from netflix/HBOGO) . Are you saying that 25 MB is fast enough of a connection speed at home if where I'm connecting from has a good speed as well?
[Xperia Z3 General] PipoyKalbo:
Does anyone had tried this method on their unlocked bootloader?

That's been my issue too. I'll admit I'm impressed that it works at all, but until I'm not forced to sit right in front of my PS4 it isn't worth much beyond the initial novelty.
[Xperia Z3 General] sfex3best:
Ignore this comment I made mate. It works really well for me now.

I just had to change to 5ghz wifi frequency and it really is very impressive now without any drops.
