Z2 Remote Play Delay with DS4

SEnergy — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 03:00:58 GMT

Hello,

I've been having a strange problem with my z2... I've been using remote play on my vita for quite some time and I can say that I barely noticed any delay in control, however I just got my z2 and after I tried connecting via remote play I had troubles connecting (internet speed of this device may be slow error) but after I connect and try dualshock4 it actually has quite some delay and it's hard to play, same without dualshock, but the delay is not THAT bad, so to make this clear:

Remote play with vita: no delay, fine experience

Remote play with z2 & touch control: little delay, kinda harder to play

Remote play with z2 & DS4: delay, hard to play

I'm not quite sure if and how should I measure the delay and if there really is some delay difference between DS4 and touch controls, but I'd really appreciate any tips on how to at least reduce the delay with DS4

P.S.: I'm connecting to remote play via internet, the ps4 is not "nearby"

P.S.2: I have 2.4GHz router only

Hi and welcome to the community!

For best performance of Remote Play in Xperia Z2 it's recommended to use a 5GHz router or access point and connect to the 5GHz band instead of 2.4GHz. The DualShock controller uses bluetooth which is also on 2.4GHz so WiFi and bluetooth may have an impact on the performance of the other.

But things you can try to increase the performance are:

Connect your PS4 with a cable if it's using WiFi

Swipe any active apps from recent apps in your phone

Turn off auto synchronization in the phone

Can't do, I don't have ethernet cable and the PS is not mine so...

I always am closing apps that I'm not using anymore

Tried turning it off

same result, delay while playing via phone, no delay with vita
