So i bought a HDMI Cable for my Arc S and connected everything
its working fine and shows the screen on the tv, but when i open the
3D Gallery it goes into the 3D mode and says, i have to control with
the tv remote from now on.The problem is when i press something
on the remote i cant control anything on the phone and cant
watch my 3d panorama pics. I have a LG-LW45 Series TV
anyone who can control the gallery with the remote?
There should be a setting somewhere in TV's menu for allowing control of phone using remote. You need to turn it on!
the feature advertised by lg should be simplink,
but when i press the simplink button on the remote it doesnt seem to
find any controllable devices
Buy a Sony Bravia TV?
Simplink is just like SCART used to do, switch to the right channel when a device (dvd player) is turned on and it should be able to control the device, but that probably only works with LG devices.
What you need to control your arc is CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
LG describe simplink as "hdmi- cec", good luck!

Okay, I have an Xperia Ion contecting with a Sony Bravia klv-32s310a via hdmi. I did enable Remote Control in android setting & hdmi control in TV menu, tried different port but nothing worked. I still can't use TV remote to control my Ion (navigation buttons & red, green, yellow, blue buttons do nothing)
I thought all Sony products should work with each other , anyone got ideas?
Bump!
Nobody using HDMI? D:
I had the same problem with LG TV, but i solved it, i bought PS3 Controller haha

So to my surprise, my regular sony tv remote (IR) is able to control my AFTV out of the box. i originally thought i would need to buy a USB IR blaster for this. However, my guess is the Bravia sync is playing the part here. I seem to be able to replicate most things (directional pad, select, return) but don't think i have a button on here that can do the Home button or the Contextual (Hamburger menu) button.
Is there a way to configure this somehow?

Hi,
I have a Bravia also and my Sony remote controls the Fire TV. You're correct that the Bravia Sync (CEC) is doing the job.
On my Sony remote the blue "Home" button works as the Context (hamburger) button, at least in XBMC it does.
I can't find a button that replicates the Fire TV "Home" button though, and I don't believe there's an way to configure this.
Does yours work ok all of the time? For me, after a while the FireTV seems to break all my CEC communication, so my TV stops controlling my audio system and doesn't see any connected devices, only pulling the power from the FireTV will fix this, but then after a while (sometimes hours, sometimes a couple of days) it breaks again.
It's using the HDMI cable/slot that my WDTV Live SMP was using and that never had a problem so I don't think it's the HDMI cable at fault.

Yeah i figured out that i needed to change some settings to allow the remote to replicate the "hamburger" button.
I find it a bit laggy (understandable) compared to the amazon remote, and the lack of a Home button makes me think I'll eventually just use two remotes, sacrificing a bit of convenience that way. I haven't had the issue you've had yet though; i've only had it a few days though. My setup is pretty simple though, just my tv hooked up to the AFTV.
Used to use my Sony Kdl-nx503 remote to turn on the fire TV (v1) through Bravia sync but seems like the update to the latest os5 might have kaputted this is anyone else using a Sony TV and if so does it still turn the fire TV on from sleep if you select the hdmi channel?
When it's on the Sony remote works flawlessly just no ability to wake from sleep anymore.
No biggie but it used to save me having to look for the original remote which the fairies must mysteriously move when I'm not looking
I'll get another hdmi cable too just to check that that's not the problem.
Thanks in advance.
I am using sony remote
its not possible to wake up from sony remote by pressing any keys.
Just switch off and switch on the sony tv, the fire tv will wake up from sleep.
This is how I use it.

No joy it used to wake from sleep automatically when I selected the hdmi input on the Sony as the Bravia sync woke it up but nothing now. Checked the hdmi control settings in the Sony menu but they're set correctly so the only thing I can think of is the cables knackered or the updates broke the ability of it to wake it from sleep as it's worked faultlessly since I've had it. Oh well looks like I'm either using the fire remote or using the app on the phone to turn it on.

I have the same problem with my sony w950b tv after firetv v5 update Haven't found a solution to solve this yet.
Hello,
Help needed please, I have a 4 years old Philips 55PUS7909/12 Smart TV. since yesterday, I cannot anymore control the TV: when using the remote control and the rear joypad button, the red led blinks but TV does not repond to any comand. Cannot change source, volume, enter the menu... The only thing I can do is plug and unplug the power cable to power on/off the TV.
When TV powers on, I see philips logo, then video and sound work perfectly on HDMI 1 input But then nothing else works, cannot switch to other HDMI or to TV cable since joypad/remote control are not working.
I have tried to use philips MyRemote app on my smartphone but it does not find the TV anymore, like if TV is not connected to WIFI.
Any clue please?
Hi,
MyRemote is the wrong app - try TV Remote App...
Try to connect an USB Keyboard... maybe some keys are working...

Hello,
I finally used recovery mode to:
1- wipe all data
2- reinstall the firmware copied from philips support site to a usb key.
Joypad is now working, remote control also, but when I press Home or source buttons, TV displays the "waiting/progress circle" like it is trying to display something but finally nothing happens.
I dont know, maybe a hardware issue is causing issues but I cannot identify it for now.
One question, after wipe and firmware reinstallation, I found back my old HDMI source names and icons, like if some parts were not wiped. Am I doing something wrong?
Hello everyone,
I ask for your help because I got an issue with my Android TV
I have a Sony KD-55XD7005 connected with ARC to my Pioneer SC 1224
I do have the control of my Home theater from the TV remote (mainly the volume), and when I turn off the TV, it turn off the AV receiver. That's OK
But when I wake the TV up (the AV wake up too), I don't have this control anymore.
I have to do one of these 3 things
-Shutdown manually the AV receiver
Or -go to the setup and choose the TV sound (it shutdown the AV) then choose HT sound (it starts the AV)
Or -reboot the TV
Then I recover the control of my AV receiver
I already tried to navigate in the sound setup, with Bravia sync and so on.. but I couldn't figure it out
I didn't find a similar case with the search bar
(Sorry for my English)
Please anyone to help me? Thx
