Ir blaster - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering what other devices you guys are using your note 3 to control. I didn't even know you could use it for things other than a TV. In the xda YouTube video review of the note 3, the reviewer mentioned he was using his note to control the camera he was using to record.

It can control anything that uses IR to receive signals and messages.

How can you use it for other things? Only options in the watch on app are Tvs and top boxes

What would you like it to do?

Of course, I use it with:
My TV's
My Dish Sets
My Projector
My Nikon
And right now I'm in the works of making my garage door work as well.
PD. I recommend using the smart remote app instead of the watchon one.

What app are you using ?

This small addon is one of the major reasons I will upgrade from note 2. Anyone tried controlling AC ?

Best one I've found so far. Simple and quick.
The Watch On app is the one that came with your phone with a fuscia icon and a tv BUT if your signature is right your phone doesn't have an IR Blaster nor this Samsung app

[q] how to set up watchon in the uk

Guys, just got my s4... went straight to watchon as its new...
I click region and nothing happens??
My Region is uk, it progresses if i click usa by asking my postcode but obviously thats no good for me.
Can you help?
Try closing the app and restarting. I havent had that issue so could just be temperamental. I also hope you don't have Virgin media Tivo as it doesn't work yet.

Nope, it off already...

I know the music player and video player also use dlna like example you can connect to wifi and stream music and videos from another device via dlna
This is nuts, it takes the equivalent of two hours screen time... And I don't even use it!
So the only way to disable it is by purchasing titanium backup?

Try going to settings application manager all then click on dlna and clear data force stop disable and see what happens
Did it, we'll see what happens...

Strangely the same thing just popped up for me. I've had the phone a week and never noticed dlna when looking at my battery stats. Today the phone appeared to be using more battery and dlna was the top offender for battery usage.
The app will not stop, I've cleared data and cache, tried to force stop and it just won't. I'm really not sure what is using it.
I added a lockscreen widget for the quick remote app yesterday night. I've removed that to see if it was causing dlna to run more, it doesn't seem like it should but who knows.

I wasn't either, but just today it started. I finally got the DLNA process to stop, going to watch closely and see if it kicks back on again.

Seems that way I'm on EE XUBMI7 FW no updates as yet should I exchange or wait it out

Try clearing cache and data on the camera app, first. Then if that doesn't work clear the system cache in recovery.
It's a firmware issue so I doubt returning it would make any difference.

[req] mod to change displayed output resolution through mhl and hdmi

would also be gr8 if no root were required
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
for example let's say your TV's max res is [email protected] and Note3 automatically connects to it. but your TV also supports [email protected] and [email protected] so a mod would be great to allow you to switch to all possible resolutions. note3 works at [email protected], tested on another TV.

Man did you ever manage to find a solution for this?
I am still searching and haven't found any solution I really really want this. I would go with any solution. I have even rooted my phone for this but no hope so far.

[Q] (REQ) Watchon Type App

The only thing I miss from my Samsung is the Watchon app. I have loaded it on my G2 but of course the remote doen not work. Even the HTC M8 that I test rode for a week before returning it have a TV app built in like Watchon. Does anyone know of a similar app that will work on the G2 that gives a channel guild and working remote? Thanks for any leads.
I've been looking for something like that also for awhile and still haven't found anything that works like watchon. I'll keep looking until something comes up.
Maybe this.
