My htc u11 does not recognize my dualshock 4, neither in bluetooth nor with an OTG. Tested the same setup on a friends Samsung S8 and it works fine for him.
Anyone got a fix, that does not require rooting my phone?

I got the remote play stuff working just fine but can't seem to get any of the dualshock 4 stuff to work. Has anyone successfully gotten a dualshock 4 to sync up with an xperia tablet z? I tried getting the ported xperiaconnectivity stuff to work but couldnt get that working either, it seems to pair over bluetooth but just never works. I know they don't have it working in the remote play threads but figured if it would be working it would be on the xperia tablet z since its got the dualshock3 stuff already. Wish sony would just officially bring over remoteplay/dualshock4 support to the z, specs wise its not that far off from the z2.
I've got the same problem.
I tried many times pairing the Dualshock 4 with the Nexus 9 via bluetooth, but it gets stuck in pairing and does not connect. No errors or anything, just hangs there, and then the controller eventually times out of new connection pairing mode.
Connecting the Dualshock 4 via OTG cable works flawlessly, but what I really hoped for was a wireless connection.
On the other hand, the Dualshock 4 connects to my Nexus 4 via bluetooth just fine, out of the box with no additional software, which is why I expected it to work the thr Nexus 9 too. Although it's not very usable.. It's perfect for a little bit, very responsive, but then it's starts to lag to a point where it's unusable... Off topic, but anyone has experience with this lag issue too?
Anyways, main question is has anyone tried to pair their Dualshock 4 with the Nexus 9 out of the box via bluetooth and got it to work? If yes, is it usable? If no.. why not?
Solved:
Sixaxis works like a champ. I used a computer to pair up the controller with the Nexus 9 for Bluetooth use by installing their pairing program, and everything works well, including the touch pad. Glad I took the Dualshock 4 over the Xbox One controller!
I recommend reading this: http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html
If followed their instructions, it should be all good. Good luck all, and happy gaming!
i have dualshock 3 controllers and have to use the sixaxis app to use bleutooth.

How does that tool work? I've read about it but haven't tried yet.. To my (limited) understanding, you'd use a computer to help pair the controller with the device for the first time, and then later on it would just pair properly every time, without the need for the computer?

excactly. its just like you need to pair up the ps3 controller with the ps3 for the first time.
after that just start the app and press the home button on the controller.
I have used 2 controllers at the same time works flawlesly.
Tomorow a friend will bring 2 extra controllers.
so i will try to connect 4 at the same time.
It will be epic playing smash bross
Same here, even after the 5.0.1 update, it still refuses to connect to my dualshock 4
Well, I have an 8bitdo Snes30 game controller and used it really easily on my previous Motorola G2, now that I have a Honor 5x I tried to use it but I havent been able to get it working.
I believe this thread must work for all type of controllers...
When I used it on my Moto G2, as soon as I paired the devices, the keyboard on the cellphone went useless and I could only use my gamepad, when paired on the Honor 5x nothing happens, they pair but its as though the device doesnt recognize it as a game pad, just nothing happens. I watch many videos of controllers such as PS3 or PS4 and Noga controller connected on Android cellphones and as soon as they pair, they work together great, but not with this cellphone.
Anyone knows what should I do, perhaps download an app or something?
Are you in stock ROM?
Sent from my honor 5X using XDA Labs
yes im stock rom, not flashed
Some devices doesn't recognize the Gaming joysticks . it might be honor one of them ! .
When connecting the Dualshock 4 controller through bluetooth it does not work and while disconnecting the whole setting is struck, cannot even turn off the Bluetooth without rebooting. It does not even work on the ps4 remote play. Does anyone have the same problem with tab s6 or any solution?
Have you put it in pairing mode (Hold SHARE & PS button until the lightbar rapidly blinks then use the Console's original USB to connect the first time)?
Same issue here
It paired correctly but it doesn't work in any way and when I try to disconnect it the bluetooth menu freeze until reboot. Tried on my s10 too and it works well there.
I've also tried connecting it via USB cable and it seems to work in that way. Probably a software issue. We have to let Samsung know about this.
It's amazing how many people will learn of the news of Remote Play being available on all android devices but don't take the time to read the rest of the news.
Even if you get the controller paired with the tablet, it's not going to work with the remote play app. It's been stated multiple times that proper DS4 support won't come until Android 10. Some people have gotten it to work with the older models of the DS4 controllers (the one with the terrible battery life and no light bar in the front) but only wired and even then, it doesn't work for every phone and tablet out there.
Does not work for me too. Even with USB. Same controller works great on my Nexus 6P with Andorid 9 though.
I contacted Samsung Support twice about that but they just talked around the problem and didn't bother to reproduce it. So I think there won't be a fix soon. Maybe with Android 10. One UI sucks, btw. Would so love the Tab S6 with Vanilla Android.

The DS4 works 100% via USB on the S8 (US). I've used the S10, N10+, and T S6 (US models). DS4 input is ignored by all. Thankfully, I own the BT enabled XO controller so it's all good.

After the October update I just got it seams to work good. Wireless and wired! Unfortunately as stated above the PS4 Remote Play app works with the DS4 starting with Android 10. So my pixel 3 works. Not so my Tab S6. And the alternative Pstreamer does not yet work with the PS4 7.0 firmware.
After today update (1st September patch) the controller had start to work flawlessly as it does with my s10. Try to manually search for the update or wait until it'll come

But not wireless for me. Wired is ok. Also with the great Chiaki app! But wireless is a no go for me....

So globally, only (for now) the xbox one controller works, over BT with the Sams. Galaxy Tab S6.
This I understand from online information.
Perhaps some one can post his/her experience with this.
Or does indeed have Sams. a secret partnership with MS, this looked at the price of an xbox one controller.
I assume not, though.

I have updated my firmware after the latest update the controller works fine I think it was a bug. But for playing playstation remote play ds4 is not supported unless android 10. I hope it comes faster that the rumored date :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:.
Currently not rooted and completely stock. Noticed my xboxone controller doesn't work for some reason.
Works on my s9+ however, and mouse and keyboard through tab s6 usb hub works. So I'm actually at a bit of a loss.
Any input is greatly appreciated, I've tried everything ?*
Just to clarify for myself: you are using some kind of USB C to A adaptor to which you connected the Xbox controller, yes? If this exact setup works on an S9 then I would try a different adaptor before anything else. If the hardware connection really is solid then I would have to think the controller is not supported for some reason. An oversight more likely than not IMAO.
Why are you using USB OTG instead of just using bluetooth?
I don't know about OP, but I do it through OTG to use my Elite controller, since the v1 doesn't have Bluetooth. Works perfectly fine on my note 9, but not on this tablet in the xcloud app. It does work in the steam link app though, so I'm not sure what is causing the issue.
I'm using official Samsung adapter and a third party one. Both work on my s9+. My xbox pad is not Bluetooth. I also tried a switch pad on Bluetooth and input lag was woeful.

You have the exact same issue then? I can't fathom it. I'm an engineer as well so I've tried literally all possible combinations and have proved everything works everywhere. Just not the xbox pad. Strange issue.
Has anyone found anything? I'm having a similar issue with my Moto G8. It seems like some phones can connect and some can't

I also found that The controller is detected via USB/BT Joystick Center but the the keys won't register and the light doesn't come one.
