What if you try the same steps but while in safe mode

Mine doesn't stay paired after the lollipop update. It keeps asking me to pair it with the standard bluetooth passcode thing which is impossible to do on a DS3 controller.

Have you contacted your local Xperia Care?

This is exactly the same problem I am having, since I updated to 5.0.2 on my Xperia Z2 my DS3 controller that connected flawlessly before I installed 5.0.2 no longer connects. Instead you get the generic Blutooth request which requires a passcode, there has to be a fix for this surelly? Sony just can't take away functionality from us.

Ok, I worked out my problem, for some reason I had to reconnect my DS3 to the PS3 using the cable and pair wirelessly, then turn off the PS3 then reconnect it with the Z3 using the cable again, then from that point forward it worked iwth my Z2 again. I hope this helps other people.
