Just wanted to update experiences. I upgraded to a 5ghz router and BAM! rock solid connection. I played a full NHL 2015 game with zero dropouts, glitches or pauses. I was still using a DS3 connected wired via OTG cable. There was still a little lag in the controller input, very hard to notice, and my brain adjusted pretty quickly. I think that is inherent in the remote play. I don't see how it can ever be the same as being on the TV.

The impressive part was I played it from the exact same spot in my house. All other variables were the same. Router connected wirelessly to the PS4, same channel, same location in my house. I never understood the reason for the 5ghz recommendation because the PS4 can't connect at that frequency anyway, but it sure does make a difference.

For the record, I use FIOS and just got their rental "Quantum" router. No tweaking other than the port forwarding recommended on the Sony site. I'm trying powerline adapters today but it may not even be necessary anymore.

So, if you doubt the 5ghz router recommendation, I say give it a try at least.

Hi I'm on Samsung Tab S T-800 (10.5). I can't seem to connect to my DS4 through the App or by using Sixaxis (have done the pairing on PC). I'm running the 5.0.2 BlissPop rom. Anybody here that has gotten that to work? It just can't find the controller

Fire TV - Triggers?

Has anyone successfully been able to get the triggers to work with the Amazon Fire TV? I'm using these key-mappings with the DS4, but Remote Play will not recognize R2/L2.

A quick summary of what I've attempted:

DualShock 4 - working via USB (key-mapping) and Bluetooth (via SIXAXIS Controller); no L2/R2 or right analog stick via USB, but right analog stick is working via Bluetooth. PS/Home button working via heliosxx key-mapping.

DualShock 3 - tested via Bluetooth (via SIXAXIS Controller); no L2/R2.

Xbox 360 - working via wireless dongle; no triggers (LT/L2 or RT/R2). Home button works via Xbox button.

My Fire TV is rooted, but not sure where to go next. The triggers are working successfully in other apps, just not in Remote Play.

I forward the TCP and UDP ports using the ps4 and my phones IP but I still get a Nat error any help?

Try rebooting both devices

[Android Apps and Games] basteagow:
What do you mean, using the PS4 and your phone's IP? A given port can only be forwarded to one device at a time, and that should be the PS4, not your phone. Feel free to post a screenshot of your router's port forwarding screen, and I'll take a look. Also, note that if your router supports UPnP and it's enabled, the PS4 should be forwarding the ports automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] nicjo814:
For those of you with lag issues I posted this in "the other" remote play thread (the one created by sir_earl), and it has been working for some people:

Connect the PS4 with wire to your network

Connect your Android device to a 5GHz router/AP in your network

Pair your DS4 controller with the Sixaxis controller app

Make sure that [Gamepad Settings]->[Analog Poll Rate] is set to "1" in the Sixaxis controller app

Completetly disable (turn off) location services in your Android device

Use 0.7.3 to connect to your PS4

This works very well on my HTC M7 GPE running Android 4.4.4. I hope it will help some others to a more "lag free" experience :)
[Android Apps and Games] i snort flour:
It's something known as cross interference most likely the signals of your phone and ps4 were getting mixed up or canceling each other out by sending the same information. Plus audio video lag is known to happen with 2.4ghz network that's why if you read the box your router came in it recommends 5ghz to stream unbuffered music and movies seamlessly. Just ask anybody with a Chromecast they run on 2.4ghz and while in mirror mode they lag horribly from not being able to have a buffer. It just baffles me how Google could be so dumb releasing such a brilliant product but not make it capable of connecting to the frequency it needs to connect it to be able to work properly

Shield portable

I am trying to get the latest update for my shield portable. I noticed that it requires custom recovery. I have been searching the net for this and haven't any recent posts on how to do that. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for custom recovery so that I can install the newest Remote play port? Thanks I appreciate it. :D
[Android Apps and Games] stiffi2011:
You don't need a custom recovery.. Just download the APK and enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] khizrkshahr:

[Android Apps and Games] Tutakahaman:
Sorry, must have missed the APK when reading and scrolling down. I only saw the one requiring custom recovery. :P Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Tutakahaman:
Got it installed on the shield. Buttons work great now. Noticed massive reduced input lag over touch controls. However now I seem to not be able to use the "touchpad" I am unable to do the suggestive swipes in Killzone. I will test other games as well.

Update*

Double tap works in last of us to view inventory.

Tried different variants in killzone. swipe function doesnt seem to work at all

Issue was on my end. Works fine now.

I am trying to get this working on my Nexus 6. I have the ports forwarded. I am using a Netgear GS116E switch . This switch is what my PS4 is connected to. I have a static IP assigned to ps4. When I try to connect I go to add device under Ps4 menu, open the remote play app and it starts to search. I skip search and enter the code from Ps4. After I enter the code my Nexus remote play app says connecting to Ps4. My Ps4 changes from the add device screen back to the menu and my remote play app continues to attempt to connect to Ps4 to no avail. Am I just missing something or is this more complex?

Thank you!

Get that wired connection and 5GHZ router

More recommendations about proper setup.

I recently reported how drastically improved the app was with a 5ghz router. Now I"m here to sing the praises of a wired connection. In my case, "wired" means powerline ethernet adapters, but it's the next best thing.

I fired mine up last night along with the 5ghz router and I was able to play a flawless game of NHL 2015. Where the night before on my wireless connection (from PS4 to Router) It was good, but still a bit laggy, now it's flawless. Everything looks and feels like it's being played in the same room on the PS4 itself.

So, I know not everyone can afford to upgrade, or has space limitations that prevent them from a wired connection, but MAN is the payoff wort h it.
[Android Apps and Games] Sirchuk:
After entering the code, completely power off and power on both devices and it should work.
[Android Apps and Games] dunderhead:
I use Powerline adapters instead of wireless with my PSTV, and that was the only way to make anything playable with that device. The difference has been vastly dramatic, as the PSTV has poor wireless capabilities. My Vita does a much better job over wireless.

This app has worked great so far on my Verizon 4G LTE connection in Chicago, as we get pretty good and consistent speeds here. I'm going to have to try this on my trusty old Touchpad soon.

The 5ghz theory is interesting, and it makes perfect sense now that it's been explained, but I had never thought of it before. I'm still running an old WRT54GL. Maybe next Black Friday....

Thanks for the app devs! My next test is to see if I can side load it on my Fire TV Stick.
[Android Apps and Games] Cwoomer:
I will try tonight after work and let you know. Thanks for the help
[Android Apps and Games] basteagow:
As I said, a given port can only be forwarded to a one device at a time, and that device should be the PS4, not your phone. In your screenshot, the ports are still forwarded to both devices...
[Android Apps and Games] Tutakahaman:
Possibly an issue on my end, however I am experiencing frequent disconnects over internet. I have a 5ghz UPNP router on both ends, however I have forwarded ports on my home router that the PS4 is connected to. Suggestions appreciated. So far this app port is wonderful, aside from a few minor bugs and what not.
[Android Apps and Games] khizrkshahr:
Ok but BTW my upnp is on so should that automatically do it ?

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Let the controller turn off plug it in via the cable to the ps4 wait for the orange charging light then turn the controller on
[Android Apps and Games] basteagow:
Explicit port forwards created by you will override UPnP, so either (1) remove all forwards and let the PS4 take care of it via UPnP, or (2) keep the explicit forwards to the PS4 and delete the explicit forwards to your phone.

Trouble getting ds4 wireless setup to work in remote play app. I'm so close!

I'm finally at the point where I have rooted my At&t galaxy S5. With sixaxis controller, I can now connect my ds4 wirelessly to my phone, I can use it to control the OS, but while the remote play app let's me control the menus before it is streaming with the ps4 -- once I'm streaming and ready to play, and wireless controller still connected like before, nothing registers with the controller. So I cannot play with my ds4. It's just not working for some reason whenever the stream starts. I've checked various settings in the sixaxis controller app. No button mappings have been changed and pole rate is set to a value of 1. If someone sees this and could offer some help, it would be greatly appreciated! I hope I can get this to work at some point, it's too awesome and I'm so close. Also, I'm using remote play app betaV4.
[Android Apps and Games] bobbos21:
does the ds4 controller not work at all on the remote play app. I have everything in sync with my phone I can use the controller till the remote app launches then I have not controller functions at all sometimes the touch pad works but thats it.
[Android Apps and Games] Lowresolution:
A comprehensive guide for DS4 would do good ! since a lot of people got the DS4 to work properly

For me , i was only able to use the touch pad on the DS4 (galaxy S5) , the touchpad resulting in all sorts of random buttons. The button layout on the DS4 didnt worked aswell
[Android Apps and Games] Cwoomer:
OK, I know I've seen a lot of posts about lollipop and remote play connecting over internet. I just have not seen any answers. Has anyone been able to get remote play to work on lollipop over anything other than same network that the PS4 is connected to?
[Android Apps and Games] Lumince:
The app works great over my wifi connection, but I have a Verizon 4G LTE Note 2 which has a problem with wifi. When I usually try to turn on my wifi the button just grays out and it won't work unless I pull out the battery and wait a while and then put the battery back in. But the bad thing is that when it actually does work I can't use it for long and this app won't connect to my ps4 over 4G. It just gives me an error when I try to over 4g. Am I just doing something wrong or is not fully working on 4G? Help would be nice :)
[Android Apps and Games] Sqarborough:
I'm on Verizon 4G LTE too. I can connect to the ps4 remotely on 4G, but the picture is choppy and the connection goes out after about 10-15 seconds every time. The Uverse connection the ps4 is on only has a 1.5Mbps upload speed though, so that could likely be the culprit.
[Android Apps and Games] Lowresolution:
Anyone got the Controller to fully work ??
[Android Apps and Games] shyless84:
My phone S4 galaxy is rooted, I got it working using the sixaxsis controller app. Then I sign into remote play and I can use every button on the DS4 except the touch pad for some reason. However the work around for this is just to touch the phone screen to access touchpad manually.

I had to go into sixaxsis app and changed a few buttons around. As square was X and triangle was O. This was easily done and saved.
[Android Apps and Games] Kookie_Monster:
Guys, I need some help out here. I have a friend who has a Note 4. I told him not to flash it or root in order not to trigger Knox and void the warranty. My question is... is there any other way to install this port without a custom recovery and/or root?

Thanks in advance.

If you read the first few lines of the OP you would have your answer

Just install the APK.

I did my best to read through but its tricky. I see the Xperia Z1 is not listed in the compatibility thread. I have the opportunity to switch my LG G2 for an Xperia Z1.

A)Will the remote play work on the Z1 with just the apk install like I have on my G2 (didn't require root at all)

2)The Z1 is compatible with DS3 out of the box correct?

Has anyone got this to work with Xperia devices that have lost their drm key? Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ryudo206:
Xperia devices with unlocked bootloader and lost drm key

I have the same concern with people that has situation like me. Is there a way to make this port works with devices that already lost the drm key?

I think there should be some machanism to bypass the drm check because other Android devices can run the port without the need of drm key. :(

And what if I switch to another rom that is not from Sony (for example an ASOP rom), will it work?
[Android Apps and Games] twisted89:
As far as I'm aware it won't work on any Sony devices with missing DRM keys, I don't have access to one on which to test so I'm unable to patch it out. Not sure about a AOSP ROM but probably worth a try.
[Android Apps and Games] wilflare:
this is great! thank you so much!

Try double tapping the touchpad, that's what I have to do with the virtual keys.

Ok first off, thank you for the app its working great on three mobile uk, galaxy s5...

My only issue is the dualshock manager... i havent attempted to move it to system folder as i am not rooted and really dont want to at the moment for various complicated reasons...

Anyway i just wanted to say a big issue i think here is the fact most are not using the built in (dualshock manager) pairing tool... this is the part of the app that makes the remote play recognise the controller and the buttons you are pressing... without this there will always be that small bit of lag while button presses are processed and the touch buttons are activated (sixaxis) or the person viewing the remote play app will always see things happen a little after the button presses (2nd account workaround)

Anyway my request is please please please could we have the dualshock manager as a seperate (no root needed) app or have it install as part of the remote play app (again without needing root access) then i feel this app will be 100% and running just as well as (if not better than) the official app on sony devices

Literally made an account and signed in just to request this as i love this app more than any other in the play store or otherwise lol

Thank you again for your hard work!!
[Android Apps and Games] basteagow:
The DualShock Manager app requires native DualShock 4 Bluetooth support on the device, which essentially limits its use to officially supported Sony handsets (namely the Z2 and Z3). On every other device, the DualShock Manager is practically useless and you must either use (1) a DualShock 3, (2) a DualShock 4 over Bluetooth via the Sixaxis Controller app, or (3) a DualShock 4 with a USB OTG cable (experimental).
[Android Apps and Games] t4dd3n:
By native ds4 BT do u mean your phones BT needs to recognise the wireless controller as my galaxy s5 just found it and paired with it straight off... just that it doesnt realise its a ds4 and just calls it a wireless controller... i was under the impression the dualshock manager helps the phone recognise the ds4 or ds3? Or it at least helps the remote play app recognise the controller from other controllers?
[Android Apps and Games] Jaysusername:
Does Z1 have native DS4 support?
[Android Apps and Games] basteagow:
Officially supported Xperia devices have a proprietary component in the Bluetooth stack that specifically supports DS4 controllers and allows the DualShock Manager app to recognize DualShock controllers as such. On other devices, the DS4 will still pair via Bluetooth, but only as a generic wireless controller as you said. The Sixaxis Controller app mimics Sony's proprietary DS4 support by installing a custom Bluetooth stack, which is why it requires root. Unfortunately, even with this workaround the DualShock Manager app will still not recognize the DS4, which is why it needs the touch profile hack.

No, only the Z2 and Z3 do.
[Android Apps and Games] t4dd3n:
I see, my misunderstanding... well i guess in that case its off to the phone shop i go haha

First Post. Thank you

Well i joined XDA for this. Worked first time through the manual method on Nexus 5 running Android 5.0.1. Also got the sixaxis app working so have native DS4 working no signing in through second account.

I can't find what I'm looking for so any help is great.

I need to reinstall after every reboot, because I manual copied the files etc is there a patch so I don't have to reinstall the app? Not a massive issue but just wondered.

The DS4 works but the controls come up on screen, any workaround for this yet?

Lastly is there a way to get the app working over the internet? I'm pretty sure there is but I havent seen it. I mean wired PS4 and phone on another WiFi network? My app is linked direct to PS4.

Great work on this. Superd what the community can do.
[Android Apps and Games] basteagow:
Install the APK from post #3 under method #1, and it will take care of both problems.

If your router supports UPnP and it's enabled, this should work out of the box. If not, you'll need to manually forward ports to your PS4. Here's the official port list: http://faq.en.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9539/~/ps4™-remote-play-and-second-screen

Thank you for the quick response. This Is what I get when installing the app.

[Android Apps and Games] basteagow:
The error is pretty self-explanatory. :) Try deleting the APK that you manually copied, and then install the new one as you would a regular app (i.e. by installing, not copying).

having some issues with the SixAxis app and DS4 though
