Hey guys!!!
One big reason for me to choose ZL over Z was the IR remote sensor.. and frankly its really cool to have an IR on your phone. It is working well with my TVs and I am able to configure it with ease. But, it doesn't work with my STBs (which accounts for the max remote usage ) I have two Airtel DTH STB's (HouseCast &Hauwei) and both are not responding to my phone. I tried doing the manual setup (as they arent listed in the auto setup), but it doesn't work. Can anyone guide as to what could be the problem?
i have figured out that there is some problem with the learning function of the app as even the devices which work under auto setup does not learn if you try entering them under manual setup.. anyone can help me with this? has anyone tries making things work under manual setup??
i have a tata sky stb digihome box ..same issue .. doesnt learn

same issus here, how to use learning function?
Learning worked for my device. you have to put the remote control a few centimeters below the power-button of your phone and press and hold the desired key.

Mine works good for TataSky STB. Just select SKY as the manufacturer of STB while setting it up for new device, and select type 2 (out of various pre-configured layouts). Hope it works for u too!
it learns the buttons but when i click test remote it either fails or force closes putting the entire effort of pressing each button useless .. i saved again without testing button did not respond

It's a known issue. Popped up in the Sony support forum, but there's also no solution.

I also use TataSky but my phone doesnt have sky option. Is there any update for that app or is different for every country?
So, there is an update on Sony Support Forum:
This has been investigated and in case you have this problem the phone needs to be repaired or replaced by a service location.
Please contact a service location or local Sony Xperia support ( sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/ ) for assistance.

Anyone able to get the "learn signal" to work?
I've tried 2 remotes to learn volume +-. It works initially.. it says "signal learned" but then the button never works.
I tried to make my phone simply learn the one and off for my A/c but after many attempts the ZL did not learn the single command.
Hope sony fixes this soon.
I'm bumping this a bit because this problem is apparently annoying multiple Xperia ZL users. The related thread at the Sony support forum unfortunately is marked as solved, although no proof of a solution has been spotted yet.
As Sony's local Service Centers seem to be unaware of the functionality, let alone have a fix for the problem, I am trying to escalate this issue to Sony, in the hopes of a proper fix.
In this light, I would like to request anyone having issues with IR not learning signals properly to post in that thread and help make Sony aware of this problem. With strength in numbers, we'll get this fixed.

Hello. I wrote an app to deal with a problem with the SPen on my N7000 Samsung Note. Not sure if it will work on other Note models but would appreciate someone trying it out and telling me if it works on their device as well. Please see my original posting here. Thanks
Reset Spen Pro Now Available
A low priced version of this app is now available on the Play Market. It offers additional convenience and other features including scheduled background operation and suppression of success messages. If the free version works on your device, I hope you will consider the Pro version. Thanks!

I have found that the changes I make to my Google Play settings often take several hours to actually take effect. Please check back in a while. I'd appreciate hearing if/when the changes take effect as I have no visibility here except in the US. Sorry for the delay. And thanks again for your help.
no problem I like to help, but why didnt superSU ask me if it wants root but granted it anyway and no notification @all

I presume that you are speaking to the free version off the Play Store... The only reason I can think of is that SU is configured to globally grant permission under its default access setting and its show notifications is off by default in its settings (or maybe these are just on the Reset Spen app - but I doubt that).
I didnt inatall it from PS it came with my root, but however I am clever enought to ensure I like the settings, just after root...

Sorry, I meant did you get my app (Reset Spen) from the Play Store or from this site?
In my experience, SU does come with the rooting process.
So if you look at the SU settings, what is set for the following:
(a) Enable Super User
(b) Re-Authentication
(c) Default Access
(d) Show Notifications
On My Note N7000 with SuperSu v0.99, I have:
(a) checked/enabled
(b) checked/ask for permission again if app re-installed or upgraded
(c) prompt
(d) checked/show a toast
Then in the list of apps shown in superSU:
1. Do you see Reset Spen in the list?
2. If so, is the right side # green (mine is green) or another color
3. If so, click the its list item and tell me:
(a) the setting for access (mine is now grant)
(b) the setting for notifications (mine is global default - the answer to (d) above)
Thanks.
yes you app is the free from PS
well @the settings I know that should be perfect and of course they are set (the note is my 2nd device, 1st had superuser, so it may be my 1st time with sSU, but I have xPerience)

Thanks. I am sure you are actually more experienced than I am. I just wanted the details so I could help see what is going on.
So Reset Spen has been granted su access (green).
Are you getting a success popup after tapping the Reset Spen icon? You should always get one (success or a failure error message). If you get the message and it is success, then the app should have done its thing. There is no other user interface than the popup message. If you get success, the question remains - did it help your SPen situation? Has has for many others (but not all).
Thanks for your patience in trying to help me figure out the issue(s).
the thing is that it works fine, but somehow it got root before sSU even asked, and thats what confuses me...
and I get your success msg but nothing from sSU

Ah, ein Licht aufgeht! I am sorry but I have no idea why that would be if the global grant of access is not enabled in superSU. I am glad though that my app at least produces its success message. Does it help at all with your SPen's situation? Thanks

That is odd/interesting. I actually had to write some Javascript code to execute in Firefox to manually exclude all of their listed devices from the compatibility list and then manually put the Note devices back. Can you give me 1-5 examples of devices they show as compatible that are NOT Note devices? Thanks.

5. Say what? uhh i dont think so.
Unfortunately, there are no Bluetooth 4.0 (which Bluetooth LE is a part of) libraries built into android right now. In order to connect an android device to a Bluetooth 4.0 connection, you must do it for a specific device, and that device's manufacturer must have released a bluetooth 4.0 SDK. There is an open bluetooth low-energy SDK for Android

This sucks
"I want my gb 6900 g-shock watch to pair with my GS3!!! UGH"
I am a app developer and I need Bluetooth 4.0 in order to develop hardware for my own phone. As of now i'm using Apples Iphone 5 " Samsung's Competitor" to develop my apps and Hardware. This does not look good on Samsung's part. I really hope this gets figured out. The Galaxy S3 is the top selling phone as of right now. It is also my favorite in terms of use but. The fact that they advertised 4.0 support this sucks!
I am with you on that bro. Got the gb 6900 on my wrist right now but no application to really take advantage of the ble. Just in case you dont know, you can always check that the SGS3 can see the GB 6900 using the "Bluetooth Smart Scanner" application tool found through play.
I also have a Moto Droid 4 which can natively see the watch using the Bluetooth page in settings but I am afriad I have to perhaps look into the developing my own app.

The nRF Utlility from Nordic, i couldnt even download from the Play Store because my phone is marked as "SAMSUNG-SGH-I747" which is at^t's SGS3. I wish there was a way i could download the .apk file from Play Store or even somewhere on the internet.
I am going to check if Nordic has put it on their developer site.
The application i mentioned only just discovers the Bluetooth 4.0 devices and doesnt connect to them. At the moment it is just good enough for proof that Samsung indeed has a Bluetooth Low Energy module in the SGS3.
If you can give me more info on your SGS3 such as network carrier, what rom and kernel you are using, perhaps i might be able to figure out why it is not working for you.

As i understand google gives each country/region a specific "market code" or a "play code"
I am sure someone has figured out and listed all the market codes for each country... in Xda just going to do that soon after i finish replying.

Hi! yes. You would first need to make sure you have the JB official ROM upgrade from at&t through Kies or rooted and unlocked bootloader SGS3 running JB. Unfortunately, there is no official app from Casio for SGS3 as G-Shock+ exists for iOS yet, but you can download nRF Utility from market and then use the watch as a proximity device.

have you tried to clear the bond between the casio gb6900 and nRF utility and Bluetooth smart scanner or other android apps? I believe you can do that by going to the setup screen on the watch and then keep the split.reset button pressed on the watch. What other apps other than Bluetooth Smart Scanner and nRF Utility have you found on android/for sgs3 that use BLE to connect?

I have yet to try the official G-Shock+ app for iOS. I try to stay away(physically and mentally) from any iOS device. You may be right on the on the "better connectivity " as i know Apple did screw up the Dual Mode Bluetooth chipset on the iPhone 4S...which they might have carried on with iPhone 5.
Yes, you would have to wait untill casio develops something or untill there is a API from Samsung for BLE development for Android. I think the latter one is more important as once there is a API, not only Casio can develop a full fledged app but also many individual developers. Samsung is the real sucker in this.
You hafto go into setup in watch menu then hit "start stop" twice then hold in reset. Then search for the watch again.

That is exactly what i said in my reply. Maybe you overlooked it. Oh and there is a newer version of nRF Utility. Now you can have the watch beep or find the watch as you press "Find My Tag"..and the watch beeps in case you misplace the watch. It didnt work earlier. :good:

Well thanks for the effort. Many people before you have done that and got the same response. I dont know why Samsung is not at the top of the matter on this..especially if they really want to seal the deal for SGS3.
It could be that android/google is really pushing for NFC and not so much on BLE because iOS is pushing more on BLE and not so much on NFC.
I tell you these corporate battles just are hindrances to potential opportunity to many technologies and developers. Shame on them!
Update on Android App from Casio
I have some good news to share. We should be getting an Android based app from Casio. See this link
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/49231/casio-g-shock-gb-5600a-iphone-pictures-hands-on
"It will work only with iPhone at present - because of the app support - but an Android app is in the pipeline for release later in the year."
Another site i found reporting says around end of summer.
http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/8/38...-bluetooth-watch-coming-to-the-us-this-summer
Had my Ouya for over a month and... haven't really used it much. Got a lot on my plate and this thing is too brickable for someone like me to mess with. I'm hoping that the public release will include some surprises (really, I just hope it becomes worth the $99 I paid a year ago). Like everyone else around here, I'm pretty bummed out that the Ouya people completely lied about this system being hacker-friendly, and the games available on their store... um.... pretty much all suck. Installed amazon app store and nova launcher BTW. Improvement, but not so much as would make me choose to use the ouya over my ps3, computer, tablet, or.... um.... a block of wood. (wow, didn't intend to rant. sorry).
In the meantime, I'd like to use the controller with some of my steam games. It's unbelievably simple to connect it to my PC, and it is recognized as an Ouya controller, but the buttons are mapped... strangely. For the life of me I can't understand why remapping the buttons is not built into windows. So.... anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Try the utility used for the Logitech Game Pad.
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?osid=14&bit=64
If the Ouya shows up as a "game controller", then you can map it. Look for the option in my screen shot attached below.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, that doesn't appear to work. The ouya controller comes up as a game controller (even when you use the "game controllers" link in the tray menu) but the "profiler" says that it does not detect any game controllers. I uninstalled and reinstalled the ouya controller to see if that would make a difference.
This is a bit ridiculous. An "open" system that you can't hack and can't repurpose. This thing is going to flop so badly at retail it's painful to think about it.
there are no drivers. You're more hoping that generic HID gamepad drivers are going to work. And CoachClass said to try it. He/she didn't claim it was going to work. Obviously, he/she has some experience or read of others using other controllers with it and that it if showed in the spot, it usually worked.
Now, if the controller actually turns out to be worthwhile, someone will create some kind of app to use it on the PC. Be patient, the console hasn't even been released to the public, so it's still in beta.

By your tone I'll assume you think I said something rude to CoachClass. I think you should reread my comment. I was just reporting back that I tried the suggestion and it didn't work. I appreciated the suggestion.

I'm not doubting my tone came off harsh or a bit rude. Collateral damage from other things. Nonetheless, I'm not going to excuse what I said, came off more harsh than intended. My tone was more overall to the post overall given the last line of your post. The other comments were more implied based off that line.
But what I said was true about the drivers, and the need to be patient for them to come along. If you like the controller, it may be worth while to ask Ouya to create the drivers at some point in the future.

I'm alright, we're cool.
I'm getting my Ouya next week, so I'll be able to play with it a little. I understand some of the disappointment. Ouya would be better as a pure Android machine. I won't referee whether the company lived up to their promise of making an open system or not. I could see that they meant open as in anyone could develop a game for it, but the rest of XDA wants a system that we can play with.
But, I'm still looking forward to using it for some of the things we know works. It would be nice if the Ouya controller can be repurposed as a PC controller, or even phone/tablet controller, but I'm glad other controllers (PS3, Logitech) could be used on the Ouya. That's a plus, so I'd give them credit for that.
Anyways, hope with more people working on the Ouya it'll be able to satisfy our expectations. I'm glad for everyone who's on this forum and generating ideas and trying out stuff.

Hey, wait a minute. Has anyone tried connecting the Ouya to their phone/tablet?
There's a bluetooth gamepad call the Moga. On the playstore, you can find an app for it. Not sure if that helps.

I connected mine to my galaxy tab 2 today, you need to hold the middle button down to get it to pair.
I was trying to figure out Tincore Keymapper, but it doesn't have very good documentation and the tutorial on YouTube skips a lot of early steps and moves way to fast.

Hopefully something similar will be available for Windows.

Bump, has anyone figured this out?
I used a Bluetooth USB dongle and the controller connects and is recognized as "OUYA Game Controller" in Win7 Devices but the buttons don't work with anything/arent mapped. In the Device Calibration I can light up all 16 buttons with the controller but outside of that they dont work. The touchpad works to move the mouse & click but nothing else.
Hi, I've just found a pretty mockup of Windows 10 Mobile here and wanted to ask you whether it would be possible to tweak the system in the way that it lights up the menu buttons when there's a notification pending? How do you think?
+1 would love this feature!
For Android this is possibile, if you can install APKs you can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ledblinker or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939 however the developer can try to develope something like this.
For samsung's phone there is an app called BLN, it's a great app I used it on my Samsung rooted phone and use the buttons light like a led but, if I don't mistake, it required something to add on the kernel.
finger cross someone make it happen
Yes please
Look my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...ptweakers-2015-08-17-added-5th-quick-t3180474
You can modify registry to turn off led on hardware button.
so i think it can be very easy to use as notification !

The issue at hand is making it work with the screen off. And even if you can light the LED's, you won't just get the windows button, you'll also be getting the back, and search buttons. If we can find a way to turn on/off ONLY the windows button, this would be amazing. Now, having said that, I would still use it with all 3 flashing at once.

What's the registry key for the lights? Can they be enabled when the screen is off? If so I'll try to write a script to do this.

Do you have any knowledge in how the sound events work? Example: Open WPTweaker, go to Sounds, then find SMS. What I want to do is see how the SMS messages are handled, and how it knows to send a sound.

this app was made for win phone 8....not sure its the same workin process on win 10 mobile...
Good news!
After a long search, I found a video which (assuming that the button hardware is similar between Lumias) proves that JUST the windows button could be flashed.

This isn't even a started product yet. We know it's possible, but none of us truly understand how to link it with messages.
In 930 you can't make blink only windows button becouse it have only one channel for all three lights. In 925 I think it have 3 seperate channels.

Let's focus on making it work with either, then we can focus on smaller details.
Hi all, new user here.
I have a VW with a MH2p infotainment ("vw discover premium") unit.
I'm looking for assistance in getting the root password to the unit via telnet.
I don't want to remove the unit from the car or desolder anything.
I have established a telnet connection with the unit.
Unit details...
Hardware: 760035067B
SW MU: 2838
Train: SW_Train_MH2p_ER_VWG36_P2838
Anyone out there able to offer assistance?
Were you able to get the root password or able to get Android auto FEC coded ?
If anyone still needs a MH2P solution. I've got it full (conversion, green menu, androidauto, carplay, fullscreen carplay, lifetime maps, gracenote, radio station logos, generator...)

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, someone was able to help me get root access.
My unit already supports Android Auto, I just want it to use more of the screen (I have a 15" screen and AA uses like two thirds of it). No luck with that yet, but not had time to sit and mess with it for a while.

Would you mind sharing how you got root ? I have the D-Link Ethernet already and it's setup as needed I just am unsure of which up to set the card to and need the root password. I know there's a way to generate a token via a port but not sure how to decrypt that to gain root access to enable Android auto.

Yeah i can help you out but there is a reason why its not public and free yet.
Theres 2 methods on the market as of now. D-link and SD card only. For D-Link a generator and a challenge key is needed to gain root access then you have to do the magic with fecmanager and exceptionlist. Pm sent.

Is your car a Touareg or Porsche by any chance? I have a Porsche fullscreen solution but need a Touareg to test same thing.

It's a Touareg. Native maps go full screen (respecting the softkeys on the right and bottom) but aa/carplay don't use anything like the full canvas they could.

@CaptainKoruzica, if you have something to share with the class, you're welcome to do so. Keep in mind that rule 11 of the terms that you agreed to in order to use the site expressly forbid you from using this as a commerce platform by which to sell stuff. Keep in mind that if you send scam messages to those users, they can also be reported and acted upon accordingly.
If you have some kind of meaningful solution or discussion to contribute, the best place to post that would be right here in this thread.
Touareg solution is still in the works. Trying to get Fullscreen AndroidAuto to work with member Vfe. But if anyone wants to check, you can access the root of mh2p units with this generator. A quick guide is attached.
