Is there any way to connect a PS4 controller to the 6P?

I have tried through bluetooth and the phone is unable to pair with the controller. Is there any other way to work around this issue and connect wirelessly? Also will a USB-C OTG cable work with the 6P?

I haven't received my 6P yet but on my 6 I use sixaxis controller with my ps3 controller. Not sure if ps4 controller does native Bluetooth gamepad or you need to use the app.

Use this to set the parent address to your nexus 6ps bluetooth mac address (you can find it in settings->about)

Then connect it as a standard bluetooth device.
Unfortuantely after 30sec it starts lagging terribly

So I successfully got the ps4 controller to pair over Bluetooth without adjusting any settings. It wouldn't work at first but it added it as a device. Then when I tried again the next day after restarting the phone it connected.
you have to hold PS button and share at the same time until you get the flashing white light.
However, the triggers mapped weird for games and there is lag.
Does anyone know of a way to fix the mapping without root?
I also successfully used the OTG cable with the ps3 controller. This worked a lot better this works a lot faster then the Bluetooth ps4. And the mapping is correct.
Haven't tried usb to ps4 yet. UPDATE
So ps4 over otg also has some mapping issues. Tested this out in minecraft settings since you can customize controller mapping. For some reason on ps4 some buttons didn't seem to me recognized, everything was weird, like r2 was labeled as a button and triangle wasn't showing anything.
Tried to connect ps3 via Bluetooth but couldn't get it to work

Controller Wireless Pairing Issue

Hi,
So I've got android N running atm and wanted to pair up my ps4 with it but it keeps saying its unable to pair. I used 2 different controllers, same results. I was able to pair a pair of headphones with the device no problem. I was also able to pair both controller on another device. So I'm not sure where the problem is.
I'm also not rooted so I haven't used any other 3rd party apps. Also haven't tried it via cable.
Please help a brother out
thanks.

Ps4 controller won't pair with Bluetooth

I wanted to use my PS4 controller for my emulators but it won't connect via Bluetooth (only works while connected with USB cable). I'm given the option to connect, but it either remains stuck at "pairing" or refuses to pair altogether. I made sure it was not connected to my PS4 , and my PS4 was still turned off. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem it pairs but it does nothing when I press the buttons

I did a little research about this problem and I don't know if this is true im going to test it tomorrow but apartly the early versions of the ps4 controller are problematic with working over bluetooth on samsung galaxy s7 I don't know if that's the case with the s8 like I said I will try to have a update tomorrow

Can someone please reply with an update? I have an older PS4 controller and in another thread, there is someone saying it DOES work.

Fix
Use Samsung smart connect in the app from play store. Use Bluetooth inside the app works on my s8+

Just tried it with KOTOR, it connected normally using Bluetooth. But it has pretty severe latency issues and at least in that game i found no way to remap keys so some buttons are a mystery... Latency should be fixed with USB-C to OTG cable and remapping could be probably done with some app...

How to get PS4 controller working in wireless mode

If you try to pair with the PS4 controller in the usual way; enter pair mode by pressing share and the Playstation and clicking on th Wireless Controller detected in the list of detected Bluetooth devices on your switch, it will hang during the pairing proces. For me the workaround is to do a fresh reboot, pair wit a bluetooth device that asks for a pin (for me it was a Siemens SL400 dec phone) and pair the PS4 controller after that.

There is a problem with pairing, hence the description of a workaround which worked for me. After pairing the PS4 controller works without problems. I already had a PS4 controlller so was pleased to be able to use it with the Switch, no need for a modded controller.
