    Bluetooth not connecting to DS4 controller


    I have a QUALCOMM QCA9377chipsetwhich is installed on a Dell Inspiron 3593 with windows 10.

    I am trying to connect a sony DS4 controller to it via Bluetooth. All other Bluetooth seems to work fine but it cannot connect to the controller. The controller works on other PC’s and phones. I have checked all drivers are up to date and I can only assume that it is a compatibility issue.

    The chip is Bluetooth 5.0.

    :)

  3. DS4 Controller and windows-(Bluetooth issues)

    Hello I'm Deidre and I'm a average PC gamer, I've had my HP Pavilion Desktop for a while now:

    580-023w -Integrated Bluetooth 4.2 and Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac featuring Dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz) 1 x 1 technology-

    LONG STORY VERSION:

    Just until recently I've wanted a controller a controller for my video games, the DS4 ps4 controller.

    I bought one off amazon and was very joyed when it arrived, i played for 3-4 days until it died from not being plugged in (The Bluetooth was working)

    And it wasn't until recently when i plugged it into my pc to charge did it stop working....i let it charge for a full day.

    When i went back to play with it, here was the issue: I'd turn it on and it would connect immediately (As normal) the issue was it had a different color bar color than normal (The original factory color is blue, i change mine to pink...when i turned it on
    it was blue...Not good) I knew something was up, i waited a few seconds and my PC told me it was registering..."setting up your controller"(Or something of the sorts) while doing so i questioned everything i did in the past week for it to rest or whatever
    it could be, or maybe i was reading to deeply into it...So, it had set up my controller but when it asked me to pair...i accepted, it turned off my controller and didnt connect at all.

    Since then I've tried all the processes below, It's made me regret my purchase of the controller and windows 10 for my gaming PC's OS...( I heard controllers work better on windows 7, Windows 10 just refuses...)

    SHORT STORY VERSION:

    New controller (DS4) Bluetooth worked for a week then it kicked the bucket, only working with usb...i need bluetooth, i play on my couch...not at the desk of a computer.

    It wont connect now, it will...but when it tries to pair it turns off the controller and says it's connected...only a few seconds later it disables the image of it actually being connected to the pc.

    Tried using the DS4 windows app...only works for USB...want Bluetooth.

    Things i did to try to fix it:

    -Uninstall then reinstall my Bluetooth drivers.

    -Rollback my Bluetooth drivers

    -Reset the controller from the back

    -When it paired and acted like it was connected i spammed the power button on my controller to see if i could fool the process that was turning it off...that failed.

    -Mess with device manager for the properties of the controller and the Bluetooth....no succession.

    Bluetooth not connecting to DS4 controller

    Cannot pair DS4 with a Konig Bluetooth Dongle

    I am trying to connect my DS4 to a Windows 10 PC. My PC doesn't have a Bluetooth chip, so I bought a dongle 2 years ago. I have two DS4 controllers and I can't find a way to pair them - when I press pair it always leads me to an error. Sometimes the controller(s) don't even show up in the available devices list, which is odd because they've shown up on the list before.
