I discovered this back on PS3
I discovered this a week after getting a ps4
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
👆👆🇱🇷
Thanks to the name above that allow me to gained access to my narcissist husband phone, he is a pro👆👆., ,
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.
Clean. The. Heat sink.
I could only imagine being at a friends house and the power goes out. Hey man can I open your ps4 to get my game now rather than waiting?
Yea man go ahead just be sure not to break it and fuck it up while pulling out ur CD out of a turned off PS

My friends use their ps4 to charge their vapes...
gross
+Colonel Epicness Why? Cigarette is for losers.
***** 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.
Did you guys know that you can turn on your PS by pressing the small PS button in the middle of the controller
No shit
you can do that since ps1
+Deadpool LOL what?
Sounds like he's taking the piss to me...

PRO TIP: if you put your PS4 in the microwave for 30 seconds on HIGH it will run much smoother
Oh wow it actually works! It runs better now :D
Worked for me. Thanks👍
Omg it was always so laggy my ping is non existent after trying this
Was it on high?
Goddess shepherd you forgot to add "drown in it water just like how you drown those babies"
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.
“Tricks you probably didn’t know”
Every single one: “but you probably knew that one already” “it’s really simple” “you can plug in your controller”
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.
Life hack nobody doesn't know: Your PS4 AC Adapter is the same as the PS2, simply change it whenever it breaks.
+Jean Pierre Polnareff same for PS3 slim onwards.
Literally most stationary electronic devices use that cord.
daaN™
Yeah, but there are some cases to that (PS3 Fat and PSOne)
Like I said slim and onwards
my Sony bravia power chord broke and I found out that it uses the same ac cable as my ps3 saved my life lol.
PRO TIP: Pour liquid nitrogen into your PS4's vents to cool off your console
Thanks

Would've been funnier if it was 2008 and about the 60GB PS3.

HOLY FUCK. I can charge my controller with my PHONE CHARGER!?!? The more you know people, the more you know.
+Evan Carhart it charges slow af dont even bother.
+Evan Carhart One can get a 15 ft. mini USB cable for less than 10 bucks, I would just go with that
use a rechargeable battery bank. I know, I know... genius

After No Man's Sky, I hacked my PS4... with an axe.
You could have just.... You know, smashed the game instead of the PS4
Morphy dude, my No Man's Sky vengeance trip is waaaaaayyyyyyy past rationality. Not to mention that I bought the game in digital form.
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
Dead Memes play PS4 to play with other PS4 players not any other system
very helpful video! :D just bought my first PS4 last week and I love it!
Trevor Daniels how many PS4s are you planning to get?
Lol
Got my first PS4 as well. We may be 2 years late since it's first release but better late than never right? :)
Invictus true dat! I even got the newer slim model :)
Yeah the PS4 is awesome and I'm happy we both have one.
"C'mon it's 2015 now..."
*8 years ago*
man time flies
Dang 2021 now and even a new PlayStation is out. Amazing to see how hyped up the PS4 was.
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 thanks for that tip- that would get annoying.
+Nellie Geller yeah right.
+Tom Martin is it legit or virus???
WHYYY IS THIS COMMENT THREAD RIDDLED WITH SPAM??? I'm tired of deleting them all every day lol
+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.
You missed the 11th hack, selling it and buying an Xbox one
Nah, a good hack is to place the Xbox One on top of the PS4 so that you don't ever have a need to sell a PS4 :D
i have a good one

"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?!
+mjc0961 Donno sold mine 6 months after buying it. Waste of money.
+mjc0961 Got mine a few months ago and play it more than anything else I own.
+mjc0961 A lot of people.
Exactly idiot, that's the whole point. Who still used a Vita? Now it finally has a USE?!
true vita is a fucking failure.
Who else didn't get a head set with a ps4
Are you really Donald Trump
Yeah ya dumbass f$$k off because you live under a rock get a life looser oh and live a like if you have fortnite and a ps4

Had to change my systemlanguage but these voicecommands are truly awesome!
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.
Wasn't the background music from crash bandicoot?? Well it reminds me of it at least
according to other comments it is
Doctor N. Gin's track.... Knew it is soon as I heard it!
+jthreesixty It was in the sewer levels in Crash 2.
i noticed that too, good stuff
I fucking loved that game
love the crash music. very nostalgic
Had to turn off HDMI-device link because when I turned my PS4 on for remote play via Vita it would hijack the TV for anyone was watching it, and also the PS4 would come on when I turned my tv on if it was still on the input for the PS4 which was annoying when I didn't intend on using it. But great list of features, I enjoyed the video and learned a couple things.
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.
Extremely helpful to prospective purchasers. Thanks much
u could just get a longer usb cable
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.

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
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
Right?

"you pay $100 for games, they're technically free."

+King Korruption94 I regret selling my ps3 man...
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.

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.
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.)

you can actually use your cellphone as a second ps4 controller as well through remote play, takes a lot of getting used to, though you can actually use a Bluetooth phone controller if you do it right, so there :)

Hey, great video! My question is not about the PS or the tricks, i want to know if its possible for you to tell me what font you use in this video to place the numbers. I am graphic designer and i like the font style.
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.
Anyone else got this in their recommended videos and was curious and decided to watch it?
it still amazes me when my ps4 turns on the tv..i was born in the 90s and .so when i was younger that crap was unheard of lol
This is still in my recommendations

I have a pretty old Philips TV and the HDMI device link works with it. Pretty cool, the screen turns on as the login screen comes up
I suggest you summarize lists like this one to help your viewers remember it
Nice tips. I knew about the Android cable tip as I noticed the ending was the same as my S3 charger but I wasn't sure if you could use the plug to charge it or not (from experience of universal chargers with laptops the _wrong_ voltage either won't charge it well or could fry it, so I always used the PS4 to charge my controller just to be safe :P ). Found this video while Googling themes for the PS4, feel like giving my system a visual upgrade. :D
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.

Guess... you were watching this on mobile?...
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

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.
Turn on my TV ??? I never knew it could be turned off to begin with 😂
when using a wall charger for your controller charging it is advised from sony not to use fast chargers. they can fry the battery.
