Hey mikepic,

I think the error is caused by the Shield trying to launch a browser to authenticate with PSN, but one is not installed. If you install Chrome on the Shield, that should resolve the issue I've been told.

Let me know how you get on.

twisted89 - I've installed the apk onto a few different virtual machines running different versions of android. I can get the app to connect to PSN and the PS4, but once it connects all I get is a black video feed. It's definitely connected as I use the virtual machine to navigate menus on the PS4. Any ideas on the cause or any way ideas on a way to resolve it? Don't think the problem is with your port as I can run remote play perfectly on my Z2 using it.

Can't wait for your PC version of Remote Play as this will resolve my issue also! Hit me up if you need another tester.

Sixaxis DS4 mappings update?

Hey everyone, I love this app its perfect however I have 2 issues.

1. the mappings profile I have doesn seem to include the following buttons to work:

1. R3 / L3

2. Touchpad (when pressed in)

Is there new profile out there I can download to get this working?

Thanks Guys!

Thanx for this, it works way better than what I expected on my unrooted Huawei Mate 7, there is a bit of input lag so I wouldn't recommend using it for competitive games, but for single player games it's a treat.

I was actually contemplating buying a psvita just for remote play, but with this, forget the vita :).

It's a petty the direct connection from phone to ps 4 doesn't work (even for xperia devices I read it doesn't work, apparently Sony made this exclusive for the vita for now) I think it would bring down the delay between the 2 devices considerably, but for now this apk is a dream !
[Android Apps and Games] aew0314:
I've been experiencing a lot of control lag, like I can't even select the right game I want to from the home screen using the d-pad it just skips 3 or 4 games left or right at a time, any way to improve the lag?
[Android Apps and Games] jepher:
You need to connect your ds4 to ps4 via bt. But this will limit your range.

Or try using 5ghz router, not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] yaesudx:
Hi

Everything working perfect with my note pro 12.2 tablet.

Is there any way to improve the resolution of the stream? Running in my 5 ghz AC home network so should be no problem with higher Data. Maybe some hidden setting in the settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Novakingwai:
If you double click the touch pad area it registers as pressing it in. I just did this in destiny to get the option to go to orbit

But I too would like to know how to use r3 and l3
[Android Apps and Games] sandix:
R3 L3 : you need to hold the sticks without moving them I think.

Thanks I worked. Don't know why I didn't think of that considering I double clicked the touch pad to use that feature.

Now, if we could rearrange the touch buttons this app would be perfect. I don't need the dpad for most games. And having R2 and L2 closer down would help in fps games.

It's cool. Got a Nexus 6. With 6" of screen space, not so bad having some of it blocked :D
[Android Apps and Games] HackintoshHD:
Stuck at login

Hi,

The thing is the app would obviously work great for if i could login

So what happens is I open the app and connect my ds4. Then i press next and have to login.

And when I typed in my information i press on login and it sends me back to the app. After that nothing happens I'm just stuck on an endless loading screen and thats with every apk.

I don't know what to do. Please someone help.
[Android Apps and Games] My1xT:
2 facts I wanna confirm:

1) your PS4 is on (white light stripe on PS4) or in standby (orange light stipe on PS4)

2) you are in the same network as the PS4 or have port forwarding set for the PS4.
[Android Apps and Games] HackintoshHD:
Yes and yes

I tried it with the vita of a friend and it worked absolutely fine.

If that helps
[Android Apps and Games] montythebrave:
When i double click the touchpad it just brings up the share, ps button and options menu on screen so it is nto doing the correct function, is there a mapping I should be doing?

Also when I press the ps button on my controller it takes me out the app, how do I set it so that it brings up the ps button menu ?
[Android Apps and Games] HackintoshHD:
Could it be that i have to login to the playstation app first?

Because that won't work for me because of the root check for the xperia z2 ._.
[Android Apps and Games] RMXO:
I just tested the 1st link, Dock with OTG and it works with a DS4 but doesnt charge the tablet though. If you plug into a slot that charges, the DS4 doesn't work.

Here are pictures of my setup.

So the supplied OTG cable and extension cable (white) goes into USB In while DS4 cable (black) goes into USB2 slot.

Here's a link from the manufacturer

I'm playing Destiny connected to my MBP wifi sharing via TB to ethernet since wifi connection to my GF's 2.4Ghz N router sucks. Going to test 5GHz AC whenever I buy a new router for my GF in the near future.

Can't wait to test out the Windows app once the OP is done.

Using v1.31 apk allows you to use the Shields controller and charge the tablet at the same time. I probably should do that but I'm so use to using my SCUF modded DS4 for Destiny though.
[Android Apps and Games] austinalexan12:
Can anyone explain in better details how to make Remote Play work over cellular or another WiFI network I am just really confused on how to set it up properly
[Android Apps and Games] My1xT:
Essentially you need access to the router (at your home or wherever your ps4 is located) or someone who has access to it and will do it for you.

You have to set up a certain port forwarding rule, dont ask me which one, I just know that it is written somewhere
[Android Apps and Games] georgcmef:
Can sometime help me? I have a Sony Xperia z3 I want to play over my cell network and I cannot use my controller natively connected to my phone using this mod. The thumb sticks and share, TouchPad and ps button don't work. I can use the no root check fine but that doesn't have the network fix in it. Can someone help me out
[Android Apps and Games] austinalexan12:
it connects to it from different wifi's then after ten seconds it disconnects and says connection lost
[Android Apps and Games] carlito1979:
Hey Young I can confirm that the app will work in Bluestacks - but without proper support for a controller so it's kind of pointless. It was also quite laggy in Bluestacks.

I got it working (with native DS4 support!) in Andy but I got the black screen issue you're talking about - it turns out it's a known problem with Andy in that it can't display video. Apps like Netflix also don't work as a result.

That's further than I got with any other Android emulator or x86 install of Android though - most won't even run the app.

So all up I'm not getting anywhere using android on a PC, so I also can't wait for the PC version from twisted89!

over lte or a wifi outside

i tried 3 devices over lte or another wifi with the same router and internet connection at home

1- samsung galaxy s5.

LTE: WORKING

WIFI outside: WORKING

2- samsung galaxy tab 3 8.0 lte version and asus transformer tf101

LTE: NOT WORKING

WIFI outside: NOT WORKING

the problem wasn t the router or the forwarding, i think the devices itself. other roms doesn t solve the problem

i tried tab 3 8.0 with the stock rom and cm11 and cm12 with android 5.1.1

the transformer with the stock and android 5.1.

i wait maybe an update will solve this problem
[Android Apps and Games] crazygoldfish:
Another user on this thread posted his solution for getting it working with blues tacks and controller.

It's somewhere in here where his YouTube channel on how he sets it up.

Not that it matters as hopefully twisted will release his pc app soon

Not that

[Android Apps and Games] theseventensplit:
So I've set everything up correctly. Sixaxis works great. Problem is that my connection at home seems very weak. I'm using a nexus 5 and my router is the dir-818l (similar to the lw variant) the router is new, and its hardwired to the ps4. Also I am using the 5ghz WiFi.

Is it possible my phone is too close to my controller? I'm using a bracket to attach my phone to my controller.
[Android Apps and Games] beerninja:
Assuming you're trying to play from home, you can try the free wifi analyzer app on the play store to check how many people are using the same channel as you. If there are a lot of people, try changing wifi channel. Also try to connect with the controller turned off and see how long the connection remains stable. If neither option works and you keep getting disconnected and/or screen artifacts (that's what I'm assuming is happening) then you could try a custom firmware.
[Android Apps and Games] Shtefunek:
I've got Tab3 8 without LTE and everything works perfect over WiFi.
[Android Apps and Games] HackintoshHD:
So i've tried to reflash stock firmware with stock kernel and without root and i'm still stuck on login

I can't even try to connect to my ps4 the app just won't let me login to my psn account... Has someone any idea how i could fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] XmemphistoX:
Twisted - Is there a separate thread on your PC version of remote play?
[Android Apps and Games] theseventensplit:
Tried checking the channel, no one else here uses 5ghz apparently. Also tried connecting without the controller and its still weak. For the firmware option, how would this help? I've tried changing stuff on my phone before and it only slows it down.
[Android Apps and Games] beerninja:
This sounds like a router problem. First, make sure you are using the most up to date firmware on your router. Also make sure UPNP is enabled on your router settings. If you update the firmware and it's still slow, test another wireless device to see the connection quality and throughput via speedtest. If you try another device and you STILL have problems then try a wired device to test if it's a bad router or bad antenna. If you get good speedtest results via wired connection then you can either try a different router or try modded firmware on your router like Tomato or DD-WRT to see if it helps at all. If your secondary wireless testing device connects fine with good quality connection, then you might try a custom firmware on the nexus 5 to see if it improves the wifi drivers.
[Android Apps and Games] theseventensplit:
That doesn't seem like much of an option, I'm not mad of money so I can't go buy a couple new devices to test with. Also, the router is quick and responsive for everything else, just not remote play. And I'm not screwing with the router, something goes wrong my wife will kill me.
[Android Apps and Games] zaidmashni:
Remote play needs 5 Ghz router to be good

Cafe King bad boy
[Android Apps and Games] beerninja:
Ok let's assume for a moment that you do not own a wifi TV, do not own a laptop, do not own a tablet, do not own any video game console or portable video game console, and do not own anything but a phone. At the very least, your wife ALSO has her own phone. That is a second device you can use for testing wifi connectivity.

At the very least update your router firmware. It harms nothing and improves the reliability and security of your router. Google the manufacturer's name and model number, go to their support page, download the firmware update and run it. Should take maybe 2 minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] montythebrave:
Hi Guys,

I don't know if I am doing something wrong here but when I press the PS button it takes me back to my home screen, I have tried on 2 different devices and it seems to do the same thing.

Should I be mapping this to something else?

Please let me know asap.

Kind Regards

Jamie
[Android Apps and Games] jsk23:
seems to be working here semi well but it is a bit laggy. Its running over my network, an asus wl-520gu running DDWRT. Its only 2.5ghz, is that going to make a huge difference?

Every now and then it just kicks me back out to the reconnect menu, I am not using the sixaxis either, just the on-screen buttons. Nothing else on the network is taking up bandwidth.

I'd hate to drop money on a 5ghz router, spend the time and effort putting ddwrt/tomato (must-haves for me) on it, only for that to not solve my issue.
[Android Apps and Games] theseventensplit:
First, the connection is 5 ghz to the guy who said it was, secondly I said it works well on everything else, that includes a laptop, my wife's laptop a Wii, and my wife's iPhone. I also said it connects and works well for everything on my phone except for remote play. And I know about firmware updates, it is already updated.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

Unfortunately even if I wanted to, our router isn't supported by custom firmware.
[Android Apps and Games] beerninja:
Enable upnp on the router and try it on your wife's phone.
[Android Apps and Games] theseventensplit:
Upnp was always enabled, and my wife has an iPhone, no remote play app. Also, her phone works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] toxicoman666:
yeah over wifi it works so wonderfull and high resolution too.

too many people can t play from outside and search a solution for her devices. if the forwarding port is set and it doesn t work. they can forget it xD maybe the last hope is to try with a VPN at home.
[Android Apps and Games] stevedensmore:
I went from an Asus RT-N13U to a Netgear WNDR4500, and it made a huge difference not only in lag which is nearly non-existent now, but it also allows me to stream 16gb+ mkv files on VLC media player without having buffer issues. It was well worth the effort.
[Android Apps and Games] jsk23:
Interestingly enough, I went with a TPLINK C7 AC1750 last night cuz I was tired of wondering. We shall see how it goes, hopefully it solves the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] georgcmef:
I looking for anyone to help me.

I want to have a default Remoteplay.apk with a no root check, no wifi only and lowered resolution to make it less laggy when playing it over my LTE network.

Since this is very specific and most likely wont get a release from twisted I am trying to edit and compile it myself. I took the no root only apk and decoded it and began poking around. I am running into a large amount of invalid tokens upon me trying to recompile it even without me changing anything. for example this line returns an error:

<o.ᐧ android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/com_playstation_companionutil_drawable_background" android:scaleType="centerCrop" android:contentDescription="@android:string/untitled" />

what am i doing wrong and why can i not build the apk with not even changing anything. I am using apktool
[Android Apps and Games] theseventensplit:
Curious to know if it helped, maybe my router choice was a bad one.
[Android Apps and Games] dunderhead:
To get things to work properly, you really need to have a solid upstream (upload). As others have states, the 5ghz network is recommended.

Regarding non-WiFi connections outside your home network (4G LTE), this also depends on your connection.

Living in Chicago and having Verizon, I get pretty nice speeds (tested today inside: 70 down and 20 up).

Having that pretty decent upstream makes it so I can remote play via LTE, but of course depending on where I'm at or if I'm moving, there are issues.

Try running a Speedtest on your internal as well as cellular network to see what's going on.

Hi first of all great mod love the LTE feature just one issue when I use ds4 on latest version with xperia z2 the analogue sticks dont work properly on games also the reason im using your app on z2 and not the one on playstore is cus urs has LTE support and when I have super su installed it comes up with an error would be great if you could fiz the analogue
[Android Apps and Games] shatred:
So i downloaded both the 1.4 and 1.3.2 version, and they both work flawlesly in combination with a 5Ghz router and using the sixaxis app with my DS4 controller.

However, i changed the button input as suggested (x = A, circle = B, square = X, triangle = Y)

And now the problem is, whenever i press circle, it will exit or back out of any app that is running just like using the <-- button on most phones in the botom of the screen, aswell as with the remote play app!!

So in other words, i can use any button perfect in the remoteplay app but as soon as i press circle, it give me the popup: The connection to the ps4 will be lost, Do you want to continue?

And the only way to get rid of the popup is to use the touch screen and press no, since no other button works in this popup.

HOW CAN I FIX THE FREAKIN CIRCLE BUTTON D:

Thoughts? Anyone?

I used search function in this topic but i could not find a thing about this issue.

Oh yeah my phone: HTC One M8 with latest ViperOne Rom.
[Android Apps and Games] twisted89:
You need to purchase an OTG cable and use the 1.4 beta.
[Android Apps and Games] shatred:
That is the only way? Because ive done some further testing and noticed that when i press circle, it will also do circle in game on ps4.

Is there a way to remove the bind in sixaxis where circle is the same as back?

Or where sixaxis will recognize the app that it needs gamepad input instead of the ussual "menu browsing" mode.

I dont wanna give up this fast since i hate cables being connected to my controller ;)
[Android Apps and Games] montythebrave:
I just purchased the Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 10.1 from my local Argos today for £199 and omg! its beautiful and runs the remote play ps4 app but what makes this tablet so special is that it ia a great price, great performance, has a flip out stand for gaming/movies and has dolby speakers, I did a quick test and recorder it for you guys to see. Thank you twisted89! -

[Android Apps and Games] shatred:
Can you provide me with your settings in sixaxis? certain profiles? and what is that thing you did with IME?

I desperatly wanna make this work wirelessly
[Android Apps and Games] montythebrave:
Hey, I just setup x o square and triangle and mapped them to the ones twisted89 said in his first post. Then I enabled the gamepad option.

The thing I did in sixaxis was just press start turn on my controller then press ime and set the keyboard to use sixaxis.
[Android Apps and Games] shatred:
And what version of the remoteplay app are you using?

Because i did the exact same thing, but everytime i press the key that is equivalent to the ingame circle button function or B, the app asks if i wanna close it (it thinks i pressed the back button on touch screen).
[Android Apps and Games] Jammol:
That's weird. I didn't need to map anything. My DS4 controller works as thought I'm using with my PS4. Even PS Button is working. All I did was pair my controller to my phone using bluetooth. Destiny works like a charm.

[Android Apps and Games] montythebrave:
I use RemotePlayPortV1.3.2.apk with invisible buttons. I enable gamepad, I mapped the buttons as per twisted89 instructions and then I press ime and select sixaxis as my input. Then I go and play. Only the PS button doesn't work and will take you out the app
[Android Apps and Games] shatred:
Well then it seems device/android related, i tried all the different versions, and 1.3.2 works the best however the issue of back button is present in this version.

My android version is 5.0.1 to be clear, could this be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] zaidmashni:

Secondly, I installed the latest version of the app 1.3.2 but the app info says version 1.2, that normal?

[Android Apps and Games] theseventensplit:
K, thanks that helped :)
[Android Apps and Games] shatred:
I've done some more testing and it seems like the sixaxis app does not recognize the Remote play app on my phone as a game or some sort. (even when using profiles that active when the app is started)

This results in keeping the "back button active". Cause when I press the Circle(b) even if i rebind it to another button, it will act as if i pressed the back button, and closes out the app. It's useful for when browsing the web etc. but VERY annoying when using the remote play app, Cause i basically cant use the circle button.

Every other controller button works perfect in the remote play app btw. (except the PS button ofcourse)

Sixaxis works perfect with numerous emulators and android games, Just can't seem to get it to work with the Remote play app.

Now the OP suggested i go out and buy a OTG cable, However I don't wanna spend any money on this even though they cost nothing, secondly I hate a wired controller.

Surely someone should know a workaround, I can't be the only one with this strange issue, can I?
