Thanks for sharing this information. I believe it would be helpful to all.

The best way to Remote Play at the moment isn't on the Vita, it's on the PS4 Remote play app available on Android and PC/Mac. Why? Because of the poor 2.4Ghz legacy Wifi standards, even on the new PSVita Slim. I've tested this recently with Persona 5, playing it on the same spot using both the PS Vita Slim and the PS4 Remote Play app on Windows 10 laptop. On the laptop running on 5GHz WiFi, smooth sailing. On the Vita Slim with its 2.4Ghz WiFi, it'll eventually stutter and loses connection. With the proliferation of wifi hotspots and Bluetooth wireless devices that uses the same 2.4Ghz band, your Vita Slim chokes when it tries to compete with other devices that transmit and uses the same 2.4Ghz band. My case applies to using PS Vita outside the house on mobile broadband connection. I used the E5786 MIFi fed by DiGi Infinite 150 data plan. Don't even hope of running Remote Play using free hotspots like the ones at Starbucks, they're crappy in upload stream quota, your Vita needs 5Mbps up/downstream connection speed to do Remote Play adequately.

I tested this while being stationary, like chilling out at coffee houses and eateries, and I've also tested this while traveling inside the LRT on the Kelana Jaya line. The LRT experiment was the most extreme case and naturally it stutters and cuts off underground, but on above ground areas with ample coverage, it works but is always in danger of getting disconnected. But because I'm playing Persona 5 streamed via Remote Play to the Vita, and P5 isn't a twitch heavy, fast paced game, it isn't a big deal if Remote Play loses connection, since the game will wait for your command once you reconnects and if you can't, Rest Mode will take care of the rest.

On your home network, you don't even need a WiFi network to Remote Play, you just need your connect to your PS4 directly via Direct WiFi (PS4 creates it own wireless network and your Vita logs on into it) , but of course, if you want expanded network coverage, a dedicated router helps. Home streaming is easy, real Remote Play streamed remotely outside of your home network coverage is the one tough to tackle.

I've spent about 50 hours of my 310 hours playthroughs of Persona 5, playing on Remote Play between my Vita and my PS4 Pro. The most important thing people always forget when they wanna Remote Play is that, don't do a double wireless connection: connect your PS4 to your router via wired connection, that way, you minimize the packet loss due to wireless transmitting to the absolute minimum. Ultimately, if you're Remote playing outside of your home network, your mobile broadband (or outside wifi/network coverage of your choice) will determine if you're having a good time on Remote Play. I have a mixed experience, sometimes good sometimes horrible.

Thanks for sharing the experience. Glad to know that it's possible to enjoy PS4 on the go via Remote Play.

Hi guys,

do u guys know where can i find l2/r2 grip cover? i've been to couple gameshop near my house at cheras. but they dun have. i've went to gamer hideout @1u oso don have.

any recommendations other than buy online? (i hve bad experience buying online)

thanks

I bought mine from Playasia.

anyone know where can i get psv1000 charging cable / adapter?

lelong.com. bought there before

Wow.. thanks... need to stock up before this become absolute..

i also bought two from there

You bought the cable or together with adapter?
My cable spoiled, but not sure whether its worth it or not to buy together with the adapter.

both

You should be able to buy also from Lazada and 11Street. Currently, I'm having no issue charging my PS Vita (model 2000) using my smartphone fast charger and power bank. This should also be the same for the 1000 model, only that you need to have the cable from USB - PSV to replace the regular USB - Micro USB cable. PSV cables aren't that expensive (should be below RM30 per piece), and should work perfectly fine with recent stock smartphone chargers.

Yeah. I've charged my vita 1000 and 2000 via a power bank.

From my previous understanding, psvita 1000 required special adapter in order for powerbank to charge your vita, no?

The head is not micro USB but some proprietary head.
But the other end is your regular USB A head.
Plug that to any power bank and it'll work.
At least it worked with my xiaomi and eneloop power bank.

As mentioned by LegendLee, the proprietary connection is to the PS Vita itself, but the other end is still regular USB. You should try buying only the PS Vita cable first, and try to charge your PS Vita using your smartphone charger + PS Vita cable. Should work just fine with no issue, unless the charger's output is very low. If it works just fine (like the rest of us), it can save you the money from buying an additional charger.

To sum up : only the cable is unique for PS Vita 1000, while the charger itself can be used with other devices.

Yup, tested charging with powerbank yesterday, it work 
Surprisingly i didn't know it would work, didn't even bother to test it.

Guess i'll buy at least 1 full charger/adapter for future usage, since psvita 1k already absolute in the market
But yeah, it's stupid of me for not testing it with powerbank / phone charger previously.

Don't say that, it's not stupid at all. Our previous experience with consoles are, they'll use proprietary connectors and cables. It's not that long since they start to change that, little by little. This is because the standard have gotten good enough and even better than the one that the console makers themselves are able to do.

P.S. : Some people didn't know you can charge both Dualshock 3 (PS3 controller) and Dualshock 4 (PS4 controller) to any smartphone charger or power bank too.

plus you can charge it via astro decoder

Just don't use a quick charger to charge the dualshocks.
Although it shouldn't happen, it's not uncommon for these quick chargers to fry the batteries in the dual shock 4.
Not sure if this is applicable to vita. But I'll try to avoid using quick charge as well.
