PS3 Controller connectivity issues

After updating to lollipop I have been unable to connect my PS3 controllers to my Xperia Z1

When connecting it is asking me for a passcode to connect the controllers, but nothing will let them sync up.

I am connecting the controller to the phone via a wire to begin with, then the bluetooth should connect when I disconnect the wire.

unfortunately this is not happening at all.

Help would be greatly apreciated.

Kind regards,

David

Settings > apps > all > smartconnect > clear data > retart your phone > settings > bluetooth > PS3 controller > unpair > restart the phone > try again.

I managed to get one controller to connect wirelessly, but I was unable to make 2 connect.

is there maybe an app that can take care of this better on the market, or is there something else that I should be doing?

I could not see an option to disconnect the PS3 controller.

It now keeps coming up again asking for a pincode for both controllers.

I should also add that when I try to connect controller 2, controller 1 automatically dosconnects.

Beforehand I was able to connect the controllers via cable, push the PS button and then it would connect automatically. 

Is there maybe a way to go back to the previous version f the bluetooth / PS3 controller connectivity?

I don't think so, contact Sony directly
