Why don't you do what it tells you and contact customer services?
Are there any games out yet, that are compatible with the sound coming out of the controller?
Why is the battery life so poor in the dualshock 4?
Have you got the remote LED set to dimmed? That will help.
I agree though, it feels like it needs charging often, but I have to admit I only charge it whilst playing, so I never fully charge the remote then play.

yes, I have it at dimmed. I used to only charge my dual shock 3 once every week (I only play around 3hours per day max) but I've so far charged this new one within 2 days.
It isn't. My kids both played Knack in co-op last weekend for about 8 hours and I didn't need to recharge the controllers. Then I recharged them.
It seems as if you just picked up a NeoGAF thread and lumped the complaint in here. Do you have a problem with your DS4 battery? Just to be sure, take a photo of your DS4 to prove that you actually have one.
The audio streaming is the biggest culprit, turn it off.
I don't need to prove anything. And it wasn't a complaint, I was asking why the battery life is poor. Stop being weird.
So you mean that you don't have one, so you don't actually know how the battery life is?
You've basically read this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=837782 and then decided to bring the issue up here?
I don't have this issue as I've already explained to you.

Riiiight. Look at yourself, a grown man getting touchy on an Internet forum over a stranger asking something about a game console.
Battery life on the things are pretty shite.
You're better of getting a second DS4, I usually keep one on charge whilst using the other and when the battery dies just swapping them over.
Yes Infamous second son when the phone rings the ring tone comes out of the controller, and when you spraypaint it sounds like a spray can.

According to this review it works fine for the DS4:

Add to that Knack, Resogun, Killzone and PlayRoom.
Battery is definitely far worse than ps3 and xbox controllers.
I've just got an extended USB cable so no worries re battery life
The stock one is even a lot longer than the PS3's, to be fair.
The ability to charge the controller on standby makes it a non-issue personally, the cable is long enough to game and charge but usually I take that as a hint to stop playing.
I don't deny that but half of the problem is the streaming of audio. It doesn't matter if you have earphones plugged into it or not, it's still playing the audio.
Yeah, battery life on DS4 isn't acceptable. It's poor, DS3 was amazing in that regard.
It's fine.
It gives me around 8 hours of back-up. Which isn't even half of my 4 years old DS3.
Am looking to get a PS4 next month and just wanted opinions on games to get. I will be getting GTA, Madden 15 when they are released, but was more thinking about which current games to get. Leaning towards Assassin's Creed, BF4, Watchdogs...
I would get FIFA, but guess there's little point if FIFA 15 is out soon. I assume most of the FIFA lot will buy the latest version?
I would wait until August / Sept to buy it, but will be in the UK next month, so will pick one up there. They are still out of stock in most stores in the Netherlands (!), so figure it makes sense to get one when I can.
Any thoughts are welcome!
Also - for those that have got a few games, how much space do they take up on your HDD. I replaced the HDD on my PS3 and am thinking of doing the same for the PS4 - maybe going for a 1TB drive (would then use the original PS4 drive as a portable HDD).

I'd recommend that anyone who owns a PS4 replaces the stock drive. The whole disc gets installed. As for sizes, examples of digital downloads are: Infamous 22GB, Killzone 38GB. With all of the PS+ stuff you'll run out of space quite quickly.
I just delete games off the hard drive when I finish/get bored of them. It's not like you can't just reinstall them if you want to play them again.
It's a pain in the hole though, same with the PS VITA and the 32GB card.
I watched one of those for The last of Us. I could barely tell the difference.
I put in ac4 for first time since April as I purchased the DLC for it a while ago and installed it.
It says cannot access network features as application is updated. I've looked in uploads and downloads and there is no sign of any updates happening at all
Any ideas?

The only downside of this, is it means GTA 6 is probably a long, long time away.
It always was. Rockstar have a few games coming, I think Red Dead is the next big release. Maybe the Agent even?
It's interesting how people treat Rockstar as a single studio. It isn't! Rockstar North make GTA it has nothing to do with the studio that makes Red Dead or The Agent (This one is a bit complicated). In Scotland they make GTA.

Don't get technical, I know Rockstar is spilt into different studios, but they won't release their games all at once. Who even says the Agent is in development?
Well it was at one point.
It's all rumours, no one seems to know anything about. Last I heard it was cancelled, but we'll wait and see. Rockstar usually bring one or new IP to every gen, so maybe there's hope. Wasn't the Agent meant to be a Sony exclusive?
Rockstar North are deving The Agent though, or were...
@PlayerOne Take-Two renewed trademarks for the game this year, so they still have plans for it at least.
