Various ways to Connect a PS4 Controller & Fix Pairing Faults
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2017
- Hi, this video shows 3 ways to connect your PS4 Controller to the PlayStation 4, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro.
The 1st Option is at 0:44 and shows you how to sync up multiple controllers via a USB cable.
The 2nd Option is at 4:52 and shows you how to connect up additional controllers via Bluetooth without using a USB cable.
The 3rd Option is at 6:16 and shows you how to connect up just one controller via Bluetooth without using a USB cable. For this option you need to have already set up HDMI CEC and it uses the TV remote control as the 1st controller which then allows you to sync up the proper PS4 controller.
In the video I give examples of how to fix problems like resetting the controller and power cycling your PS4 console so hopefully if you are having problems then one of the options in the video will work.
Many thanks Vince

My controller stopped working after i connected it to my iPhone XR i finally got it to reconnect. I did it by going in to devices Bluetooth devices and i got my other controller, that still works and held the share and PS button at the same time. If it doesn’t work forget every other Bluetooth device except the working one. Do this by clicking on them hitting options then forget device then i held the 2 buttons and it came up and i reconnected it. Everyone like this so it will help others!!!
Trey Longwell thanks it has worked for me i was worried that i would need a new controller
Thanks a lot my controller didn’t connect with my ps4 after I connected it with my phone too, some weird glitch
Same here dog
Thanks saved me too! Fr some weird glitch when it Bluetooths to our phones
Thanks it worked
Tried every method on youtube didn’t work used about 5 cables didn’t work. When I brought a ps4 licenced cable worked straight away make sure you like so others see
did the same. did not work
I found the original ps4 cable it worked straight away
I resorted to all the steps but there is also a need to delete the other controllers already registered on the PS4 if the number of devices was already max.
@sanama endon go to devices and if you see a long list of controllers, delete one or all and it will begin accepting new controllers
Amir Hamzah Amha i love you thank you
Dude, I couldn’t not for the love of God get my controller to connect any other way other than the Bluetooth way and no one else said to go to the Bluetooth settings on the PS4 to connect it. You sir, have saved my life. Thank you!
Oh my god you are a LIFE saver. I’ve tried 3 different controllers so me and my bf can play together and none of the USB ways worked. You’re the first one I’ve seen talk about doing it in the Bluetooth devices and it finally worked! Thanks!!
If you don’t have a second controller you can still use the ps4 second screen app to connect the controller through Bluetooth. Like this comment because it might seriously help someone.
ADarnSmore u just saved my life your an angel 😇
Omg thank you brother
I connected my controller to my phone and it just keeps searching for my phone and won't connect. For me, it says type the numbers on the screen but there is no numbers
Wats the app called?
Michael Taylor ps4 second screen
Why in the hell can’t ps4 have a damn sync button shit is a lot easier
Treveon Mccurty I know lol
Treveon Mccurt the thing is my ps is switched off and can only turn it on by controller
My SHI WENT IN SAFE FING MODE
*Wii sync exist*
2 years later
Ps4: "Juga buga FIRE!"
Treveon Mccurty thank u so much
Turns out I was using a crappy cable, but ultimately found the original. 5 years after posting this video, and you are my hero.
I’ve a question one of my usb port is broken can I still use 2 controllers by using that remaining usb port? Pls answer
@@ricky6904 The usb port on your PS4 is broken? Yes just use the other one to connect.

Thanks for the help! Out of all the tutorials you were the only one that explained that different cords have a different amount of wires in them and that’s why mine wasn’t connecting.
Agreed! 10 other videos did not help. This one fixed both of my jacked remotes.
Legit all the guides i found on google were completely useless, none of them mentioned the differences in the usb cables which was the only thing that i hadnt tried, thanks for the guide dude.
SAMMEEE. i was using usb's with 2 wires so I looked for one with a thicker cord (to guestimate 4 wires) and it worked fine!
I know this is an old video but this was super helpful. The commentary about the lead requiring four cables made the whole thing make sense. Thanks a million!
Thank you so much, I've been trying so hard to reconnect my controller for over a week now and nothing works until I watch your video. Thank you so much man....
Life saver. Someone you can rely on. I was struggling for soooo long
Unplugging the PS4 and replugging it has solve my issue. I didn't use this console for more than a year so all my controllers were unsync. Thank you for the tip.
Thanks for saving me time
Yes this was the only thing that worked. Seems stupid but turning it off and on really pays off sometimes
Frédéric Bouchard Thanks bro for helping me
Nope
Frédéric Bouchard this just worked for me too bro thanks
I’ve tried many many options, watched many video’s etc.
The second option worked for me. None of my controllers wanted to connect. I plugged in a USB keyboard and did the Bluetooth trick. Scrolling down, there was my controller. You’ve made my day! Thank You 🙏
Ill. Try that
You are the only reason I could figure this out. I tried many usb cables but when you talked about the data connection i tried my phone charger and it worked! Thanks a million.
Omg I didn’t use my second controll 4 month’s but right now I can use it because you are helping me omg thank you so much 😭😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well done, mate. The smallest info made the BIGGEST difference. Knowing the difference in cable quality was huge.
This video was literally more informative and helpful than my hour-long conversation with Playstation Support (who insisted I send in my PS4 instead of using most of the methods you presented). Thank you my good man.
Salman Ahmed same here man. Thank you so much bro I feel like an idiot/ and learned something today lol
Just to confirm with my
@@evanmagayanes2101 i had to power the ps4 down with the usb cord connected lol...
Never knew that the amount of wires matted so thank you
Can you view the trophies of my PS4 console?
*mattered
Thanks so much! I was having trouble with the USB and I had no idea on how to connect it via Bluetooth. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful day!
The 2 wires vs 4 wires on the micro USB really helped! Mine would only charge with one wire but I changed wire to my phone one and it worked!
Yes, Vince! I’ve been watching your videos for a while more out of interest as I don’t have any inclination to fixing anything myself. Today though you’ve helped me big time when I needed you most. I had to jump through all the hoops as it was the last method that worked for me. Thank you so much!
I bought my controller over 4 years ago thought it was dead. Saw your video today and try it and it was the wire so I changed the wire and it actually works. It Sat here for four years brand new and didn’t work. Thank you so much for sharing your video I appreciate it/you thank you
The micro USB port on my controller was broken, has been for weeks. Randomly came across this video and used the hold share button and ps button to enter Bluetooth pairing mode and worked straight away.
Thank you dude you are a life saver 👍
And then ur controller dies
@@idkidc4871 I bought a docking station to charge it using the port under the controller can pick them up for about a tenner
Omg thank you so much i literally looked at 3 videos before this one and they did nothing, but this one save me from struggling for almost 2 hours.
ALRIGHT I KNOW THIS WORKS FOR SOME PEOPLE BUT THERE IS A OTHER WAY OK.. All you need to do is install a app called PS4 REMOTE PLAY when you install it press start then it will connect to the PS4 and then go to Bluetooth devices and then hold share the hold the PS4 button then your all set DONT LET THIS FLOP. Wait you have to turn on your PS4 First just let it connect don't press connect manually
Thank you senpai
@@roykapoor6999 np
i hope this works my ps4 account is locked tho and you need a password to log in
@@damen2sistrunk893 wait so it got hacked
Aggressive Blade no I have a password set on my account and I have no working controller to connect and type in that password
Freaking awesome I watched like 6 other videos and none of them worked very useful man
Yes you saved me,
I've watched four videos before you..
And you were the only one that connected my controller...
Please do more PS4 tutorials..😁
Oh my gosh you saved my life. I just wanted to play and in one click the controller stopped working. Thanks you so much.
That´s the first video that reallllllly helped me!!!!! Thank you man !
This was the 4th video I watched and yet it was the first to have my solution.
Thank you very much!
Left a like :)
I’ve spent the last 36 hours trying to fix this and when u said that micro USB cables can have 2 or 4 wires I tried it and it worked THANKYOU
Legend, didn't realize there are 2 and 4 core charging cables, cheers for the help!
After almost an hour of frustration..,thank you!!!
You are the BEST! I've had my PS4 for years and my controllers locked up with the flashing white light today for the first time ever. I reset the console and they're working again!! Thanks so much! ❤❤❤
damn dude u helped me a lot! i didn't know specifics about the cables, thank u so much, mate!!
You sir, Are a damn life saver, thanks
Thank you very much, I was able to pair my device via Bluetooth. Thank you, thank you.
Yeah me too
4:54 I've been looking a a lot of videos trying to find how to pair a ps4 controller to a ps4, they all just said to use a cable that I don't have. Finally I found your video that showed how to use the Bluetooth pairing mode, my controller was paired to my ps3, so thank you.
Bless your soul, I was able to fix mine just now! Thank you, friend!
never knew about the share and psn button option , that worked , thank you
ShootEveryone hey shoot
shoot u fell off tbh
ShootEveryone hey man
ShootEveryone same it worked for me aswell
ShootEveryone shoot
Thank you, Vince. I tried 4 different usb cables and none of them would recognize my controller, thought I would have to toss it. I watched your video and now I can use my 2nd controller
Oi mate! I was down to the last option! I figured out how to do all the Jazz about connecting my tv remote to my PS4 and using it as a remote. Long story short, that actually worked! You got a clutch bone my guy! A clutch bone!
Super helpful! Only video to show all options saved me some money
Omgc thank you so much, the “share & PS button” helped me out! You’ve got 1+ like. Thank you so much again❤️
Dude I so appreciate this! No one else suggests the Share button + PS button. I bought a new controller, put on grips and decals and it wouldn't connect. You saved my day my guy! Subscribed, liked and shared. Can't thank you enough.
Keep getting a good feel for the year and I hope you can make it to the event on Saturday morning and then we can go to the game.
Dude you rock. Never would have got my controller connected without this video. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this! Just bought a stubborn controller that refused to connect. Your video helped a bunch to get it going!
Omg I WAS SO LUCKY TO find this vid thanks so much now I can play on my ps4
Thank you so much, after an hour of trying to fix this damn thing it was a matter if a new USB!
Of all the youtube video thats probably the most complete it really work thanks my guy 💯
Life saver right here guys drop a sub for this legend
I agree
No
I AGREE!!!!
Literally he saved some of my money coz I was like oh shit my controller is no more coz I connected that to my cell phone
Done
You saved a life because I thought my controller was broken and I tried everything. Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️
PLEASE buy me one?
First video I found that fixed it! Haven’t played in a week between work and trying to figure it out. Following all the steps I had it going by the 4min35sec mark. Thanks!!!!🎉
Thank you, watched 5 vids and yours is the one that actually helped and got it workin
excellent, your option #2 worked for me. thanks
I watched the video over and over and it still didn't work...so then I tried one of those blue charges and it Worked!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!😃😃
The enable HDMI link with the remote allowed me to connect my controller. This has absolutely saved me thanks you legend !!!
I know its been 5 years since you posted but i love you took me over 2 months to connect a new controller again after being able to do it for years 😂
Thank you this actually worked perfectly for me👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Wow this worked the "Holding share & Then PS button" THANKS I Literally tried everything But this worked! 😁
Bruh, Vince legend, I talked to add you, so much for that. LOTS OF SKATEBOARDS!!!!🎉
My mate Vince. Thanks for your information. Its helped. 👍
You earned a new sub because you saved my life 😂
Karlton Bryce facts
Same here
I was so trihgered
Same here
same here my dude
Thanks bro option 3 worked
Thank you. Share and PS button worked. Finally. Your explanation on the two cables with the dual power wires without the third and fourth data wires made so much sense as to why none of my cables were working. And of course the "official" Sony cable could not be found.
Thanks mate I thought it was the cord that wasn’t working and you proved me right thanks
THANK YOU OMG I ALMOST CRYED I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO
Same 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for making this vid 😀
I have watched over 20 watch your video once and it worked thank you
Thank you! Parking via Bluetooth worked! 👍🏾

This is actually a life saver. There is something wrong with my ps4, and it won’t let me connect any controllers with a usb cable. I didn’t know you could just Bluetooth it like option 2. Thank you so much
Omg thank you sooo much. I could not get the new controller to connect until your video. Had to use option two. Bluetooth with the first working controller.
Dude… Thank you for just explaining and not carrying on with the theatrics for views 👏🏼 🙏🏼
Finally!!,...a simple, direct and well informed tutorial. Thanks for sharing it!.
thank you so mutch man, i just uset another cable that was thicker, and than it worked!
Thank you, brother! I couldn’t get my new controller paired to save my life. Your Bluetooth method had me connected in seconds.
