Can't connect PS3 controller with new update

[Magnifyque]

HI,

So recently I updated new software to 6.0 and there is no connectivity with PS3 controller unlike previous version which I usually play games using the controller.

Since the new update, I can't seem to connect the PS3 controller using Bluetooth. It will prompt me with password instead which is either 0000 or 1234 but when I enter it, it still doesn't connect.

Please help

Hi @Magnifyque,

Wireless connection with a DUALSHOCK 3 controller is no longer available in Android 6.0. If you want to continue to use the DUALSHOCK 3 controller with your Xperia after applying Android 6.0, you can use the controller with USB cable connection.
