Has anyone had any success with the IRBlaster? I've tried the AnyMote app, but none of my devices have worked so far.
My Sony TV works just fine with the stock app.

For me it works on Pioneer TV, DVD player too, but music system no. I have no experience with other.

The stock IR blaster app on the phone (called "Smart Controller") works fine without any problems with my Samsung Ultra HD Smart TV UE48HU7505XXE
Smart controller works on my Samsung UE55Fxyz, but you really have to point straight at the IR receiver.
But the selection of devices is extremely limited; no AVR at all for instance.
SmartControllers works Ok, but not perfectly
It works great on my philips tv ( no smart ), but it doesnt work very great with samsung tv
Has anyone got any other IR apps to work? I tried IR Universal Remote and couldn't get anything to work.
One User mentioned that Zaza remote works well.
In my case all buttons work well except the number buttons. They jump and have multiple presses.
So it is not possible for me to select, say Channel 451. The moment I press 4 for the first number, it auto presses 2 more times and I get 444. If I press 1, it will select 111.
I have a Sony TV
I've tried quite a lot of apps from the store but none works so far.
luckily the default apps work fine with my LG tv & satellite tv decoder
Hou van teach the stock app IR signaal so you van actually make every remote work.
Nopes, teaching the Smart Controller did not work. Infact since I have an Airtel STB which is not there in the default, I had to teach the remote in the first place to make it work partially
Has anyone tried Peel app? That worked well for IR remote on my Samsung S4

IR Transmitter?
Hi,
Can IR sensor record signals and then play back it (for remote controls that are not on app's list)
There was such feature in my previous m8, I think there should be an IR transceiver in device instead of IR Blaster (transceiver can send and receive, blaster only can send)
The stock app works great, especially the IR learning feature.
Here is a tip though, sometimes following the instructions (To hold down the remote button for 2 seconds) is not good enough.
I find that the best results come when you press the button on the remote rapidly, using this method, I have managed to copy 10+ remotes in my house without with all buttons working.

I know most PDAs only have a small IR range. Has anybody tried the wizzard with one of the many pocket pc remote control software? What was your range like?
I tried noviiremote deluxe and right when i opened up the app it told me that the wizards device is incompatible with the program. so i guess wait for an update on that app, but they're many more remote control apps. give some of them a shot and see for yourself maybe?

No other remote app will work - none of them supports the TI CPU. You may want to check out http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17874 for more info.
THat's annoying. On my old SE P800, the tv remote worked srom as far away as I could get, come 8 meters!
There is also something else why remote control software won’t work.
IR-DA hardware is not compatible to work as a remote control transmitter because it is mend to be for data communication between two IR-DA devices.
But if your PDA can do it anyway then there is extra hardware build in to do this.
The HP2210 can do this and it worked wonderful.
I’ve been in several waiting room where televisions where shouting all the time. And with the 2210 I could switch them off or lower there volume

I thought I would start a thread for what works and does not for bluetooth.
My A500 connects and works perfectly with:
Sony headphones model DR-BT21G
Freedom Pro keyboard set to HID - no special driver needed
Think Outside folding Keyboard - this is no longer on the market
My wii controller using wiimote controller and pce.emu from android market.
Wiimote controller lets me play with all the tiger emus and pce.emu has native wiimote support.

Why no one seems to be annoyed by this bright spot in the right of the screen??
It is only noticeable in bright colored backgrounds (white, light blue etc), but it completely goes away on dark backgrounds and you cant notice it at all.

I ve seen this issue on every device i ever hold in my hands (demo display devices o9n stores), including my own.
I have started a thread about this some days ago : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077527&highlight=light+bleeding , but there seems to be only few ppl worried about this..
So i wonder, does everyone else suck it up and live with it?? Maybe you havent noticed it yet?? Maybe its not so bad on your device ?? Maybe you dont have it at all ??
As far as i m concerned it really pisses me off when i look at this spot on a white background !!!
Sony DR-BT100CX Bluetooth headphones working great, incl. player controls (pause/play, FF, RW). I haven't tried the headset's microphone, but suspect it might not work yet based the user manual:
user manual said:
Note: Only A2DP stereo headsets (without microphone) are supported.
Please check for updates to the tablet's software which may add support for
additional Bluetooth devices.

The Palm Wireless Keyboard (3245WW) works perfectly. Saw no reason to buy a different one when I had this one laying around collecting dust. You can still find them used and a rare few that are new. I'm pretty sure this is just a Think Outside keyboard with the Palm brand on it.
I have also gotten the Wii Remote working well with a Nintendo 64 emulator. I'm using WiiMote Control and N64oid.
I'll be following this thread because I'm looking to get some wireless headphones.

Targus Bluetooth keyboard for iPad
So far, I'm liking this keyboard. A few of the buttons are marked a bit oddly for Android, but overall, I really just wanted the basics. A few of the specialty keys work well - magnifier bring up search, volume keys work, arrows scroll and pan...
So, yeah..not too bad and pretty low profile as well. Operates off two AAA batteries Paired very easily. Occasionally after a long period of not being used, I have to turn it off and on again, but it reconnects Very Quickly.
Very Happy until the next one that's perfect comes along.

The Logitech keyboard for tablets works great!
I got mine at Best Buy - they did not have the "Android" model but the one for iPad is the same product.
It will be nice to have an app that can capture the code from any controller.
The on board application is too limited .
The use it could be for example : to capture air condition controller code so you can control you air condition and make your galaxy the true multi (universal) remote controller.
It will be nice if we can export - share the codes.. :good:
note: if i can i will like to help in development of the app... please p.m.
I had a short test with the light sensor from test mode, this should be possible.
However I'm not a developer.
ALexander
what do you mean? What test? There must be evidence it can receive IR orders not only transmit them. And to have SDK for sensors, does anybody know if samsung released the SDK for sensors? I read that somewhere but maybe Im wrong and it was about HTC One. THX
open dialer
type *#0*#
choose sensor
choose light sensor
Hold remote next to the sensor and see the values changing.
So I suppose I it possible to record and play back via the IR diode.
There is no explicit IR receiving diode onboard.
ALexander
if you want SGS4 to learn codes from original dedicated IR blasters (e.g. air conditioning), you need IR receiver in it! For control home electronics you need IR sender (transmiter). So, if it has no receiver, it cannot receive commands and learn, so the only option is to load it from a file or some online code source...undwerstand?
are you crazy? The light sensor is not IR its only for automatic brightness change!!! LOL
there are two IR sensors one above display on the front side for air gestures and one on the top side for the TV, DVD,...control...learn smth about it and read manual!!! Its not a shame LOL
i am not sure but i think that if it isn't a receiver we could use the camera as receiver.
correct me if i'm wrong..
too difficult and complex ...or not possible...somebody has to confirm if it has or doesnt have IR receiver, if so than its only the matter of simple apk...

Did you try what I wrote?
ALexander
if im not wrong air gesture is nothing but ir receiver right? why not use it for learning function if in case the blaster dosent have ir receiver diode.
It doesn't have to be a receiver (front) for the air gestures to work..it can be a transmiter.
But the front camera hase to be able to read the signal for thr gestures to work ( trasmiter project and camera read the projection that translate to object to complete the gesture)

Yes and what? it only changes the values as you cover it by your hand there is less light to receive and thats all. According to this phone is minimising/maximising the display brightness..very simple principle...useless because it has nothing to do with IR.
It is also able to detect the color of the light received, the only question left over is whether the detection is quick enough to be able to get the full signal out of the IR-signal.
Alexander
Think you are all flogging a dead horse!
You cannot use the camera to decode IR signals!!! You need a dedicated IR receiver which is something the S4 does not have afaik. I am pretty sure if Samsung had one in there they would have marketed the S4 as a learning remote.
On another note from playing with the S4 I think the IR emitter is pants! It has a very short range and has to be in direct line of site of the receiver on your equipment. You would all be better off purchasing a wifi connected IR emitter and downloading the appropriate app if you are really set on using the S4 to control anything but believe me the novelty will wear off very quickly.
ir Remote
I remember a Symbian software > ir Remote < , to which could be added the codes, also manually from file, of many device...
So, should develop an app or porting to Android...
HTC ONE has it!
Guys, the HTC ONE has the ability to read IR codes from remotes and repeat them with its built-in app. I tested it myself, my bro has one. I have S4 and it would have been nice to be able to do that also. Any updates on this matter?
Cheers!

My first PDA Dell Axim X3 a couple of years ago .....6-7 on Windows Mobile , had an App (don't remember anymore the exact name),
with a learn function. Means I was pushing Power button in the app and the Power Button on the original remote control while the IR from the remote was facing the IR of the Dell. and he learned exact to swich on and off the Digital TV receiver.... and I did the same for all buttons
, volume , programs up and down etc. ..
Do we have also an app like this for IR powered Androids ?
Need IR remote Code
Can someone help me with a IR remote code for an AirCo named Airwell
the remote name is YX1F.
Thank you in advance

Also had this on iPaq rx3715, ten years ago, haha.
guys what about those IR recievers that samsung includes with some tvs (it's an extension if u have something placed in front of tv's main reciever
i think it has a 3,5mm jack so it could go inside the s4/note 3's jack and we can use it to get the codes?
Hi,
Is there any IR Blaster apps out there that work like the harmony remotes where you can point a remote that is not supported and get the button presses assigned manually on the blaster?.
I am not looking for it to control a TV, in my workplace some of my workmates have a small ir device with one button that is used to open and close a road barrier when driving in and out from work, i need to jump in and out of a car to punch in some numbers to get by.
I don't even know if this would be possible, just wondering if anyone thinks this could be done?
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply!
Have anyone got the ir blaster to work? I have tried the pre-installed Smart Controll, Peel, Anymote and a few others. But the P10 plus is not communicating with my Philips TV, Xbox, noor Pioneer receiver. My old Galaxy 6 worked, and this was the only feature that I really wanted on my new phone.
I bought mine in Sweden
Mine worked straight out of the box with the default app. Have LG TV and BT Youview+
I'd DOA it. Also try remote learning, point a remote and see if it can receive signals from a controller...as the phone can do this too.
RoOSTA
Hey!
I got mine running with Anymote SmartRemote. There was only one IR-BlasterI to choose and it would not send any command initially. I had to select "Use alternate IR Commands" in the settings to get the blaster working. Now, it works with all of my devices.
Might be worth to check if other Ir-Remote apps provide a similar option.
And no, I do not get anything from promoting the app...
[edit] Huh... Just realized that this was the first post after 4 years of silent reading. I deflorated myself over an IR-Blaster...
