If your having issues with your PS4 heating up and the fan constantly running, I found that if you elevate your PS4 about 2 inches up off the platform it sits on helps cool it down faster. I used a couple of DVD's stacked on each side to prop it up. BTW this is no joke, it really does work.
I just have a fan it sits in the fan holds the ps4 and holds the psvr charges all the controllers at once but yours is better I can guarantee that because the fan isn’t cheap
You are so right man! I did exactly the same I just used old ps2 games wich have the same format as DVD'S😀... tbh I even put a "plastic bag"(flexible packaging plastic shaped like a bag) over the ps4 whenever it's turned off, to prevent dust etc. from getting in😅 Don't know if it helps just makes me feel better and it wont damage anything
@Mori-Bryan Jin I have another other solution it worked for me. i have tried what you are saying even open the top cover of ps4 to cool it down but didn't work for me so i opened my ps4 and open it through the heatsink and i cleaned all the dust stick on the heat sink it is best way to keep fan voice low and after that it doesn't even over heat only thing is that you have to clean it every 3 to 4 month coz dust will come again.

***** Not really. I've talked to some smokers to have a better understanding of what can drag someone toward cigarette. Believe me, there are many. A dad's friend switched to e-cigarettes about a year ago and lives a better, healtier life ever since. Some people use the e-cigarette as a transition to stop smoking, since non-smokers like us can't really comprehend how hard and painful it is to stop once you've started it. Yes, some people does it to look cool and second-hand smoke disgust me at the highest point, unlike flavoured steam. Just don't spit on smokers, but on cigarette itself.
+Colonel Epicness so you're saying vaping are only for homosexuals? what a dumbass... yeah homophobic comments don't roll with me... gtfo... you're garb
+Colonel Epicness But the word is what it means... In the end you said what you thought using the wrong word. Still, it was their choice to smoke. I know a person who used to smoke and quit it. It was hard for them to do it for the first months. I don't believe that in all cases smoking is to look cool. To some, smoking is like a placebo, a relief. And most of them know its side effects.
People in comments bitching "How could you not know?" Well I have JUST bought a PS4 (literally getting delivered today) and I didn't know a single one of these. I didn't even realise the PS4 HAD a share button, I never really looked at one before. So yeah, of course you know all of these, you've probably owned the console for a couple months or more. But now I'm much more aware of the options available to me on my new console. Thanks uploader guy, whose name I can't see while the comment box is open! (FYI: Did you know you can press the Windows key and X at the same time in Windows 10 to bring up a handy system menu? This shit changed my life.)
3:56 be careful with this, you have to verify that the charger is adecuate to charge the controller, if you miss that you'll burn the chip of the controller until it gets useless one day. The fast chargers generally are the ones that do this.
Device link is cool since your PS4 can turn on your TV. It SUCKS when you have your PS4 connected to an HDMI home audio receiver and you turn the receiver on, the PS4 turns on and automatically tells the receiver to change to its input.
+Zac Price I have a sony TV I use BRAVIA Sync, it's so cool, I turn my PS4 it turns the tv on and switches input to it. and I can use my TV remote on my PS4, even the pause/play and all the other useless buttons can be used on the mediaplayer app on PS4. they finally have a reason to exist on my remote, o I can also turn my PS4 using my TV remote only .and use it fully on my PS4 without turning the controller on.
Morphy no this man is onto something, destroy all ps4s, they’re a plague to the gaming community and it’s best if we just get rid of all of them, i mean honestly are you really going to support the tech giant that doesn’t know the slightest about consumers so they lock their system down to keep it away from things like cross platform. Do you really want a disconnect between gamets
I am very far behind the times I know, but I very recently upgraded to a PS4 and the charging cable and automatic downloads tips helped a lot. Thank you.
"It's a cheap, easy, and quick solution" he said about buying a Vita, which costs $200, instead of buying another controller, which costs $65. I mean if you already have a Vita, sure, but with Sony's lack of support for the system, who still owns a Vita?!
3:40 also if you have a Sony phone you can go to Google play or search in ps4 app for 'remote play' (not second screen) then you can do everything like usually but then on your phone. There are buttons on the screen you can use or connect your controller via bluethoot to your phone.
I knew all this before this video came out when I first got my PS4! I'm just confused in how this video racks up almost 10 million views from simple little facts that beginners can learn in less than 35 minutes. Now, before you say; "Oh, shut up! You're just a hater." I actually like this channel & I'm subscribed.
As a minor precaution, I'd just say that some mobile chargers can be a petty nuisance to utilize as a DS4 Charger/Connector (to fx PC). I occasionally connect my DS4 stick to the PC for games optimized for controllers, like Dark Souls. I've always had a problem with how loose the cord is connected to the DS4. If i lie my PS4 stick down on the floor, it'll just disconnect because of how mediocre the mobile charger solution is.
To be honest, as soon as I got my ps4, I've always used a phone charger on my controllers. Kinda made sense due to the fact my phone is a Sony. The only phone to not use micro USB is iPhone, but iPhone is terrible compared to android anyway.
00:29 Hello gamer X I'm asking you a distinct question here are you saying that you can retroactively add games from a library within the PlayStation Plus website even though you didn't have PlayStation Plus at the time when those games were offered? I've been to the website I do not see any list of totality of year 1 year 2 or whatever year PlayStation Plus Editions for free. this video is 4 years old is it possible that this was once true but no more? Thank you
+gameranx did you know that when your friend gives you his account and password and you change his account as your primary ps4 you van download his games to your accont for free. It works i gave my friend a free gta 5
Just a heads up about using a phone charger for your controller, watch out for the voltage and how long you charge it for (past it being full) it could overload the battery. I used to do it and eventually my controller wouldn't hold a charge, I'm still not 100% sure if it was the charging but it was fine before I started doing it.🤷♂️
Yes it frigged up one of my ps3 controllers, it's not designed to be charged by a mobile phone charger, I just bought a spare ps4 controller and keep one on charge whilst I use the other but to be fair I've never ran out of charge yet and I play call of duty warzone for like 4-6 hrs at a time
thx im the biggest crash fan if u offered me a psone with all crash games that were on psone i would say yes with as much money as you want but under 500 lol
Even I didn't know that because I've never tried lmfao Welp at least I know a new way to charge my controllers without sitting up close and personal to my screen. XD
@@rhinodonkey7339 I'm sorry but there's no way using a different cord to charge your controller is what broke it 😅 Unless you were using some insanely cheap cord, that would have broken any device you tried to charge it with. But honestly it probably wasn't even that, and just do to you being rough with the controller/cord when plugging in and unplugging your controller.
The feature where you can add all playstation plus games for any console to your library have they stopped that. i was hoping to get the games for vita for when i buy the vita around christmas time. but i cant find how to do it on the ps website.
+Crunchy JaSON You're not the only one. I watched it because I have prospects of buying one just for some certain games, that most likely won't be on Steam.
The USB thing is common knowledge for anyone who knows what the U stands for. Interesting side fact, if you have a phone data transfer cord, you can use that as well as a few software programs to use the DS4 controller as a gamepad on computers that don't have Bluetooth, while having the controller remain linked to the console as soon as you unplug it.
You can also replace the PS4 HDD for an SSD if you really wanted to. I did it a couple years ago and my PSN account is still not banned so don’t worry. If you need a tutorial on how to do it I think Linus tech tips has one.
i wish that you could use your phone (via the ps app) as a mic. that would help a lot. its not really much to ask. or at least be able to use a mac, or tablet with mic built in still using playstation app.
something1random23 you know... it should veeeery obvious that my comment says to anyone thay reads it, that I no longer have a mic, or headset.... Context clues bro/bra
+Benjamin Dover not in the classical sense of the word, but "hack" has come to have a second meaning which is simply a trick or workaround or unconventional use. I don't like it when people use hack this way, but it's here to stay.
Just a small critique though. I think the swearing is unnecessary. A video like this should be approachable by people of all ages and backgrounds. Swearing just steers some people away as its not professional.
+Bushido Soul there will be no one who clicks this video that doesn't already know every swear word. What does it matter? they're just words. This is youtube, not daytime TV.
Did you buy it new or used? Because if used then it might not have been included, but if new the mic looks like an single earbud with a very thin cable with a toggle switch on it. Easy to miss in a flurry of unpacking the box.
@@puffy3146 hell yeah it did! But keep in mind. As soon as the PS+ subscription is over, the games will be unplayable. You will have to renew the subscription to play again.
the thing is that DS3 could not be charged in the same way because it requires USB host to start charging, not just a power supply, so you could charge it from console or PC, but not from phone adapter. Some people would naturally assume that DS4 works in the same way.
For the phone charger thing. You could do that, or you could spend $25 and get one of those special charger stands. They charge really fast and you don't have to look for cords.
or you could not and just use the phone charger since you don't have to look for it unless you're an idiot and don't leave it in one spot and WANT to play a game WITHOUT having to wait for the controller to charge. fast or not precious seconds of gaming are precious
wow why did I never think of doing that lol the whole linking up my phone to my controller.. what an obvious solution that I completely didn't think of.
+Matthew Castro sign-in your PSN account on"store.playstation.com/". Then, go to "Games". Next, click on the "PlayStationPlus" under the featured list on the left side. Finally, click on "Free Games" under the featured list. There you go.
How do you magically find the place with all those ps plus games to download. I got on signed in and everything and for some reason surprise surprise. I only get the shitty ones available monthly. I can't find all the free games. and all the website does is offer me more ps plus subscription. Is this all there is?. You hyped it up to be like I could get all the ones that have bee free. Am I wrong?. Help
Aside from Brazil, in the Philippines where I live, there are stores that actually encourage you to jail-break your PS4 and get over 10-15 pirated games.

Good tips, I've used a majority of these ones, but now I'll definitely try that HDMI Link, just got a smart TV too so it should be able to do it
crash bandicoot theme!
shiiiiiiiiiiiiit i just read this comment as inoticed the sound! i was thinking nooo wayy crash is bck!!
+Omar Ali i have crash 1 crash 2 crash 3 ctr crash wrath of cortex crash twinsanity crash tag team racing crash nitro cart ios its my favorite game

+jj41430 15 nice man lol
thx im the biggest crash fan if u offered me a psone with all crash games that were on psone i would say yes with as much money as you want but under 500 lol
for real bruh, how do you not know you can charge a controller with a phone charger 😂😂😂
Even I didn't know that because I've never tried lmfao Welp at least I know a new way to charge my controllers without sitting up close and personal to my screen. XD
I know right.... Its a USB charging cable, must have been confusing for him when he got his phone charger....
It eventually breaks the charging port on the controller I've lost 2 controllers due to this lol
i didn’t know... and i’ve had my ps4 since 2014... i-
@@rhinodonkey7339 I'm sorry but there's no way using a different cord to charge your controller is what broke it 😅 Unless you were using some insanely cheap cord, that would have broken any device you tried to charge it with. But honestly it probably wasn't even that, and just do to you being rough with the controller/cord when plugging in and unplugging your controller.
The feature where you can add all playstation plus games for any console to your library have they stopped that. i was hoping to get the games for vita for when i buy the vita around christmas time. but i cant find how to do it on the ps website.
Wow! I never knew there was a mic on the included headset. they really tucked that feature away.
Why am I watching this? I don't even own a PS4
+Crunchy JaSON Same here, hacks not required!
+Crunchy JaSON You're not the only one. I watched it because I have prospects of buying one just for some certain games, that most likely won't be on Steam.
Pepe Come on managers! Give this person a pay rise.
Great video, made my life "ten times easier" 😇
me: (thinking to myself) why are we talking about this in 2019?
me: presses the little arrow to drop down the date...2015
me: you are dumb, me
Guess... you were watching this on mobile?...
The USB thing is common knowledge for anyone who knows what the U stands for.
Interesting side fact, if you have a phone data transfer cord, you can use that as well as a few software programs to use the DS4 controller as a gamepad on computers that don't have Bluetooth, while having the controller remain linked to the console as soon as you unplug it.
Do You know if you put your PS4 in the microwave and turn it on for 10 minutes it will try. Into gold ?
Turn*
+Phillip Droste OMG it fckn wrked! thnx so mch!
Phillip Droste instructions not clear, dick now stuck in toaster.
+sopcannon 😂
I just did what you said... My moms dead now :( But you're right it is gold. Thanks.
You can also replace the PS4 HDD for an SSD if you really wanted to. I did it a couple years ago and my PSN account is still not banned so don’t worry. If you need a tutorial on how to do it I think Linus tech tips has one.
i wish that you could use your phone (via the ps app) as a mic. that would help a lot. its not really much to ask. or at least be able to use a mac, or tablet with mic built in still using playstation app.
That's a brilliant idea.
What's so hard about plugging a headset into the controller? Or Bluetooth, or USB....
something1random23 you know... it should veeeery obvious that my comment says to anyone thay reads it, that I no longer have a mic, or headset....
Context clues bro/bra
None of these things are "hacks".
+Benjamin Dover not in the classical sense of the word, but "hack" has come to have a second meaning which is simply a trick or workaround or unconventional use. I don't like it when people use hack this way, but it's here to stay.
+Benjamin Dover "Hack" doesn't apply to just computer hacking. It has other uses as well. Here it's being used like how the term "life hack" is used.
+Michael Pappano you mean a 3rd meaning!
James Cripps haha yeah, sorta forgot about the original meaning of to chop at something recklessly.
+Benjamin Dover I was thinking the same thing. Thanks everyone else, that was confusing.
That crash bandicoot theme song tho! 😂👍🏽🔥
Pro tip: put your ps4 in a bath of rice, add 20 liters sprite
Better go try it now
Just a small critique though. I think the swearing is unnecessary. A video like this should be approachable by people of all ages and backgrounds. Swearing just steers some people away as its not professional.
+Steven Hanson (ElectricReshiram101) yes, it does matter and not everyone plays COD.
+Bushido Soul there will be no one who clicks this video that doesn't already know every swear word. What does it matter? they're just words. This is youtube, not daytime TV.
+Dylan Naude now that's just ridiculous. you must be like 12, lol.
+Bushido Soul here we go with the 12yr old crap you know not every person in the world is freaking 12
Shut the fuck up.
Whos here in 2020

I am, did you learn anything from this? I halfway did.
@@chrisriley8775 no not really i knew most of the stuff here
Me
Stop this bullsh*t
See my ps4 didn't come with a mic. Wtf Sony
Did you buy it new or used? Because if used then it might not have been included, but if new the mic looks like an single earbud with a very thin cable with a toggle switch on it. Easy to miss in a flurry of unpacking the box.
+SmokinBandit28 new and it wasn't on the box under "included features"
+Poop Stain looked into it, I guess in newer versions they no longer include it because it was kinda crappy.
+SmokinBandit28 oh ok thx for letting me know
+SmokinBandit28 i bought an used metal gear version. Is it included with that one?
Dang 2021 now and even a new PlayStation is out. Amazing to see how hyped up the PS4 was.
my ps4 broke.. I spilled milk on it
. isn't it waterproof?
+mordomike WATERproof,not MILKproof DAAAAH
+mordomike Wrap it in bacon, bacon heals all wounds be it mechanical or flesh.
Bacon is love, bacon is life.
Why would the ps4 need to be waterproof?? You screwed up
+Niall Higgins So true
+Mobz Spawnerz the Sony experia is so y not the Sony ps4
5 years later and I still currently can't afford a new controller at $64.
While u sleep like an angel ur house catches fire 🔥🔥😱
r/ihadastroke
what the fuck
Jokes on you Im insomniac
What
KaigTeki i legit did lmao don’t actually know what I meant by that anyway given I have a PS4
That stockpiling ps+ games seems pretty amazing. Gonna do it right away. 😁👌
Did it end up working ? I had no idea we could get the previous free games deff gonna try this too !!
@@puffy3146 hell yeah it did! But keep in mind. As soon as the PS+ subscription is over, the games will be unplayable. You will have to renew the subscription to play again.
@@gorkhawarlord4943 seems like a lot of effort but if your saying it works then deff gonna give it a try, thanks for the info bro !! Appreciated
'hacks'? kinda playing fast and loose with the word there fella
Its 2016

Tell me about it, the work "Hack" gets thrown around like nothing now in days.
Changing the share button setting:
ZOMG H@X
the HDMI link thing is nothing new. Even older TV's and the PS3 had it.
+Matchstick yeah my old sony brava did, i actually found it quite annoying at times.
yup. on ps3, just switch to the channel and it comes on or vice versa. nothing new there
+Beermatt0 i have a panasonic from 2009. Works with the ps4.
he is a console boy.
It's too bad that they're not compatible with Monster Cables anymore

thought so lol

geez your videos have improved
I knew the charger one like right when I got a ps5
***ps4
the thing is that DS3 could not be charged in the same way because it requires USB host to start charging, not just a power supply, so you could charge it from console or PC, but not from phone adapter. Some people would naturally assume that DS4 works in the same way.
Constantine's Gaming Channel!!!! What a liar you don't have a ps5 it is not out
ps5 ??
Legend golden eagle Gaming if you look at all comments he corrected it to PS4!
For the phone charger thing. You could do that, or you could spend $25 and get one of those special charger stands. They charge really fast and you don't have to look for cords.
they break fast, if you Re talking of the official ps4 ones that you push down and they click.
also easy to buy a long cable for like 6$ in amazon
Kaleb Tucker what about an amazon fire hd 7 charger thats a micro usb can that be used to charge the controller
Kaleb Tucker how long does it take to fully charge?
or you could not and just use the phone charger since you don't have to look for it unless you're an idiot and don't leave it in one spot and WANT to play a game WITHOUT having to wait for the controller to charge. fast or not precious seconds of gaming are precious
wow why did I never think of doing that lol the whole linking up my phone to my controller.. what an obvious solution that I completely didn't think of.
This video is already starting to feel ancient
Thx i am gonna get a ps4 tommorow and this helps Much!
Have you got one yet?
+Yasir Choudhury yea
+OR.02 did these help by any chance

+OR.02 if u didnt buy the ps4 and u can wait u should the wait for the ps4 neo

I knew some of these. But some were new to me. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for this ratio
how do you do number ten?do i go to sony.com on my cpu or is it the psn store on the ps4
+Matthew Castro i would also like to know that
Number 10 does not work.
I'm trying to figure it out too
tell me if u find out
+Matthew Castro sign-in your PSN account on"store.playstation.com/". Then, go to "Games".
Next, click on the "PlayStationPlus" under the featured list on the left side. Finally, click on "Free Games" under the featured list.
There you go.

Wtf is a nes?!?! Old man

You know how old that thing is right?
+Tommy Lainio Calm the fuck down. The NES is over 30 years old.

I was looking for this comment. It was driving me mad trying to figure out what it was !
I took my PS4 to Brazil and they turned it into a PS5 :)
How do you magically find the place with all those ps plus games to download. I got on signed in and everything and for some reason surprise surprise. I only get the shitty ones available monthly. I can't find all the free games. and all the website does is offer me more ps plus subscription. Is this all there is?. You hyped it up to be like I could get all the ones that have bee free. Am I wrong?. Help
Same here.
SAVAGE GAMING same here. I dont get it
They change monthly, if you missed one your out of luck unless it comes back.
You can't access the whole library, you get the monthly games. That's the exact reason he told you to stockpile them.
Aside from Brazil, in the Philippines where I live, there are stores that actually encourage you to jail-break your PS4 and get over 10-15 pirated games.
Wow!
As a brazilian I didn't knew about the JB. What I did know there are some stores that sells via digital media the games on a parallel market.
#5 is literally the first thing I realized when I got my ps4.
Got it for this Christmas and I’m loving it so far
Jack Hyland same you want to play
I'm still waiting for mine to come 😭😭😭
andrw sorry man 😢
U just got a PS4?
Judge Moody yep
