Hello,
Does anyone know if there is something I could use to make my GT10.1 a remote for my HI-FI system at home because my Logitech Harmony 1000 died on me and I figured this would be kinda cool.
Thanks Guys

IR Rocker

I consider buying a HTC W100 Wired Remote Control, but I cannot seem to find the length of the cable between the USB and the actual remote.
I was hoping someone here has the remote control, and are able to tell me approximately how long the cable is?
yeah i wouldnt mind knowing as well...
also what is the diff between the E100 and the W100?
and is there a mic on the remote?
Yes there is a mic.
e100 comes with crappy head phones i believe, the w100 i purchased doesn't come with head phones
the cable is.. i don't know the measurements i dont have it on me right now, but i can attach the remote to my collar just under my neck and then put my device in my front pants pocket and still have a bit of length left on the cord.
now, the headphones im using are wrapped up really short because those are so long.
I got it yesterday. Cablelength is about 1 meter.
But... what is disappointing is that it will only work with the built in mediapleyer on my Tytn II. When hitting the 'play' button it always starts mediaplayer (or the derived HTC version)
Does anyone have a solution for this? I want to use it with coreplayer.
the wired remote isn't working at all, is there a musicplayerapp which let's me customize what to do when I use the remote?
I have Vol+, Vol- and Play/Pause Buttons (work fine on my sisters iPhone) but my Defy doesn't react in any way :-|
btw: is that thing even called 'cable remote'? I just translated it word by word with my rubbish english skills
is my English too bad for anyone to understand? (seriously..)
or is this the wrong place to ask?
First, please tell us which of the v-moda's headphones do you have. They have quite a lineup and... hard to find the ones with remote.
uh, silly me!
"V-Moda Remix Remote",
I just checked this: V-Moda Compatibility and it's clear that it MIGHT work. Thing is that Motorola doesn't seem to have any wired headphones with more than one button. So.. I don't know...
In a week or two I'll have the chance to cross check the compatibility between Defy's and iPod's stock headphones.
Have a nice day
I recently just bought a car dock for my Galaxy Nexus and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a bluetooth remote with media buttons. It doesn't have to be fancy, I just need the basic functions like play, stop, etc, to control my music while I'm driving. Something small would be nice too.
Currently using a wii remote in the mean time until I can find a better solution. It works good but carrying a wii remote around is rather silly. Looking for something that I can just leave in the car.
This wud be awesome

Hi, winter is coming and soon hands will be freezing outside. So I had some idea to remap one of those mini Bluetoot Remote Shutter controllers to for example skip/play song.
I was searching for an answer for some time but no luck. I'm wondering that noone figured something like this yet.
Any idea how to remap this little sh**??

Wouldn't it be easier to get one of those headphones with in-line remote to control the playback and volume? Look into my review of Pistons headphones, for around $20 you get a decent set of headphones and full android control.
I'm using Denon HP-1000 so headphones for 20$ are not satisfying me. Most adapters with buttons are not working with Ri too. When You have good headphones without mic I think Bluetooth controller is only way to control phone without taking out from Your pocket.

I just mentioned Pistons as an example. You can read a ton of my headphones reviews as a sticky in this section of the forum, or just follow the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333
Can't figure out from amazon pictures, do these have removable cable? If yes, you can get a replacement cable with in-line controls. Regarding your Moto phone, that is a big problem because Motorola is among few companies that using non-standard headphone controls. It's beyond me how a basic in-line remote works with any iPhone, Samsung, LG, HTC, and Sony phones, but not Moto
So, that leaves you with BT control, I guess. Of course, you can also use smartwatch to control your music on the phone Anything like Pebble or WeLoop I recently reviewed have music controls to control the playback.
For now I have no time to mod my headphones and it's not cheep if you want to make it right. Pebble is nice toy but comparing it's price to shutter for 2$ You should know why I'm interested in it.
Anyway thanks and still looking for some idea.

One of my few complaints with the LG G6 was the lacking IR blaster. I don't watch much TV, but my TV remote is missing and has been for years. I do use the Bluetooth sound bar a lot though and got used to having the convenience of having a IR Blaster. So with the the pending shipment of the Google Home I was researching home control capabilities and I came across this:
https://youtu.be/WHw9YRQNhRY
Bought it off AliExpress and it took about 3 weeks for shipping (I think you can get it off Amazon, also).
I was up and running within minutes and now have an IR blaster for the LG G6. Best of all it's WiFi based so it works from anywhere in the home (I can control sound volume from 2 rooms over) and I don't have to worry about awkward positions trying to get the phone to "see" the TV IR receiver. It supposedly has a lot more functionality, but I don't think I'll ever use it for anything more than a IR blaster.
I've read it can integrate with Google Home, but not having my Google Home I can not yet comment on that.
It was $15 and well worth it for just the IR blaster alone. Plus ALL my devices can use it (tablets, other phones, etc.).
Just figure I'd put this here for anyone else missing their IR blaster.
Keep in mind it does NOT have the devices pre-programmed so you'll need to "learn" each button function manually, but it's a one time set up thing and it took moments. I actually used my old phone to teach it the TV codes.
It does not come with a wall outlet plug, just the USB-A to the USB-Micro, so you'll need to acquire one somewhere else (I have a drawer full).
It's extremely simple device thus far.

good find
I can verify this works with Google Home, although not natively. It requires IfTTT along with a spare Android phone to act as a server with the Tasker app, RM Plug in app, and Join app installed. But it actually works well.

some help to you guys who want to find those IR Blasters for phones, try searching for 3.5mm headphone ir remote, they are cheap and aliexpress have some of it, is helpful since LG remove the native IR Blaster.

If it's WiFi based, its not an IR blaster. An IR Blaster literally shoots infrared waves...
Also, you're missing the functionality of using your phone as a remote on all devices, you are limited to only controlling devices on your local network...
So you pulled up a thread that's over a year old to dispute it... And...
An IR blaster doesn't literally shoot anything. IR blasters are basically light bulbs, essentially, that emit light. Maybe you were meaning figuratively?
This device is an IR Transceiver. It literally emits Infrared light to control IR devices.
There is a model that is also a RF transceiver which I hadn't looked into in depth since I don't have any RF devices to control. Although with cheap RF modules out there for wall outlets, lights, etc. I have been considering looking into it further.
This IR Blaster merely receives the commands to transmit via WiFi communication. Sorry if there was confusion in the way I presented the information.
It's been over a year I've been using this IR Blaster and it's 98% up time is worth it alone just for the integration with my Google Home units. I rarely even have to use my phone now as it's all voice controlled. When I need to, the app is accessible but slower than just saying "Hey, Google."
Hope that helps clear up any confusion.

The RM Mini is now supported by Google Home natively. It's still a little cumbersome, but far more simple to set up and NO longer requires a server running, and using multiple apps to make it work. It just requires you download the broadlink app (called "ihc"). Set up your device, learn your codes, create scene within the app, and then sign into the service via the Google Home services section. It will import all your scenes you've created.
Works flawlessly so far.
Best part is it's voice activated so I don't have to touch my phone to do anything, but can still use the app if needed.
Need ir remote link please
Hello sun_is_shinning. Just curious if you might have a link to the audio Jack ir blaster. I love my LG G5 since it has the built-in ir blaster. I dont mind trying the wifi remote blaster, but find the built-in ir blaster too convenient to lose

Just to mention i find this IR Blasters but never try one or another, i make one for myself with a LED from a remote and soldering to one 3,5 headphone jack i have around, it did work fine with anyremote but you need to be under 20 centimeters to make it work because headphone jack power is low and cant make it work with more range from the device you are controling.
here they are:

@Sun_is_shining. Thank you for replying. I purchased 2 LG G5 phones. I have found the built in IR transmitters good enough to use for many TV’s. With the Quic Remote Android app, I have experienced many happy memories secretly controlling many hospital, auto dealership, & other waiting rooms broadcasting boring tv shows, moronic commericals
If I need to try the above, posted links I will reply much sooner than this reply.
Happy holidays
