Prossible stupid question, but will this work on a tab 3 10.1"?

can I just buy any cheap android 4.4 tablet and get this working? I would seriously pay $50-$75 dollars just for this feature.

Same thing here. It seems the app still doesn't allow you to pair the controller at all. Soon though hopefully.

This is a stupid ass question.
Can you get banned for doing this ?

mh not really stupid I think. Because yeah, isn't this kinda like accessing PSN from a hacked PS3?
I doubt we have any official word on it either way but personally I think the risk is low.

Except, it's not. You're not hacking anything or using any sort of workaround, you're just installing the .apk onto a phone that supports it, but through a choice Sony has made, doesn't choose to support phones outside of their own range. I didn't have to hack anything to get the software to run and I was able to use my own log in details.
really not the same thing. you're just installing the remote play app on a device that would normally be locked out.

I meant it more in the corporate language, accessing their PSN servers (by logging in & finding the PS4) using an unauthorized device (but... actually anything with a browser can so I guess that's a mute point).
As I said, I doubt it, but I would feel better knowing it's not something they would go against.

Considering all the app lets you do is use your own PS4, I think the more ridiculous thing is that it's not supported on more devices, especially when they plan to support PSNow on other TVs.
You're not accessing the PSN servers with your phone when doing remote play, only connecting directly to your PS4.

Mh ok, I just thought it would do that because you need the account data in the app as well as finding the PS4 if you connect from outside your home.
Locking it to xperia provides more incentive to buy an xperia. Its artificial I know but still...

Thanks for the answers guys i am going to try this tonight!
Not anymore. Someone should probably create a new thread because it also works on 2.2+
(I'll make it if no one else wants to)
No root required. Working flawlessly on my stock LG G Flex. DS4 working perfectly with the second PSN account workaround.
Thanks. Is the link in the op the same link as the new apk ?
here's the new one
Open it with ES File Explorer or something else and find the remote play.apk and install it. Don't worry about the dualshock manager.

You should be able to remote play over WiFi, previously on KitKat you could run an exposed module that allowed you to trick the phone in to thinking data was WiFi as well. Not sure this is possible on Lollipop yet though.

Thanks. I've got it installed but I can't get it to mirror the screen. It seems to want to be the companion app. Any ideas.
we are all waiting for that - it's like the final piece of the puzzle

that's not even in the puzzle. devices need to either have support for the DS4 already built in, like some Sony devices, or have root access as without root, there isn't enough access to be able to properly add support for the DS4 on the device.

Anyone had any luck getting this to work with a FireTV? Got it working great on my Note 4, but when sideloaded onto my FireTV it gave an error message about not using a browser? Admittedly I only tried this then once, but was wondering if anyone else had success as it would save me buying a PS TV ;-)

I have an Xperia Z3 and remote play doesn't work for me outside my house. I keep getting some error
bleh. I hope they come up with a decent root solution.I saw the two workarounds. the SixAxis app method isn't very good :/
you need to sideload a browser for it to work
the RemotePlay app uses a browser to login your account (yeap... T_T)
So what is the cheapest/best device to get for purpses of just doing this?
I have a vita, and just got it all setup to RP with the DS4 and mounted it and all. Using this elusive binder clip mod. But with the metal arms removed.
But the whole no multi account or direct DS4 support is a real downer. It looks like before too long they will have full DS4 support working on android devices
, would be nice to just have a device I can take on the road that supports DS4. Because looks like Sony isnt going to do it.

Can we start a campaign asking boyes and shu?
But not works in my 4.2.1. Why?
I am a bit new to this, so what is the purpose of this then? Is this not trying to support DS4?
probabaly in poor humor, but...
Some in the XDA forums do have it running on their shield.

I downloaded the remote play app but can't use the controller unless I root my device and install Dualshock Manager. Towelroot doesn't work any more and I don't want to go the Odin method. What can I do So I can use my DS4, or a controller
Edit: using a Galaxy S5
Double edit: I guess I have to use the second account method judging by some posts here

The second account method is the only way I have been able to play. The good thing is it's not a pain like it was with the Vita. For the Vita, I had to wipe all my account info off the Vita and start from scratch which sucked.
On the phone, just log into your secondary account and go from there. It actually works pretty well and the Dual Shock 4 can be used pretty far from the PS4 itself which surprised me. It was working pretty well, but I would get bursts of lag about every 3 or 4 minutes which makes me wonder if I have a process on my phone checking for something which causes the spike.
So I tried this on my S4 yesterday and now I'm looking for a phone clip/holder. The Nyko is unavailable here in Germany, and 50$ to import this thing is way too much.
Anyone tried the Sony GCM10 with a Nexus 6? I don't have one yet, but this will probably be the device I will use remote play with in the future.
