the app worked on my Sharp but didint work on the living rooms Westinghouse not sure why tho

Can someone point me to instructions on setting up the IR remote? I cannot for the life of me find it in the menu. I also downloaded the user manual from Tmobile.....no mention of the IR there either.
What Tutorial are you guys talking about?
I picked up my new S4 yesterday.....lovin' it so far!:good:

Mine worked with my Sanyo tv in my room, all the sharp tvs at work, and my 10 year old sony tv. Make sure you are standing close to the tv when setting it up and try each code multiple times. On all tvs it worked with the first code but I had to try it a few times

I tried this and it does not work for me.
Look for Samsung remote un the play store. Both the tv and phone need to be connected to the same wifi to work.

I am currently using Samy Go remote because it is the only remote that works in Tablet Mode. But my quest ion has to do with bluetooth and not wifi. I love streaming thru wifi. But why do they have bluetooth?

I'm guessing it has to do with options. I imagine not everyone has wifi.

yeah I used the remote app before. Works fine, has all the buttons the normal remote does. All of them don't fit on the screen though. You actually have to scroll up and down the remote from what I remember.

I don't BT to my TV, bt on my TV runs my keyboard.
That actually seems really cool to me. Do all sammy tvs do that?

Allot of the newer ones do. Mine does allot more MINE. Dont even need a PC for the TV now.
I have a Panasonic viera plasma instead of a Sammy set and it works great from my phone. It uses wifi to connect instead of bt.
With Allshare, I can view pics and stream music but not videos.
Comes in handy because my couches tend to eat my remotes, the phone is always in my pocket
It looks like the general consensus is that bluetooth from the phone to the tv is worthless and wifi is way more useful.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.
I connected my phone to my google TV made by Sony. I can use it as a remote to control the TV but that's about it. I'm sure you could transfer files if you found some reason you needed to lol.

Watching Avengers on TV

I downloaded it on my phone but I am unable to stream it on my LG Smart TV. DLNA, WiFi Direct nothing. Could neone watch it on the TV?

I think you have to use AllShare Cast to watch it on your TV. You'll have to buy the dongle.

I moved it to my extSdCard and tried to use All Share Play over wifi, but since its a DRM enabled .pyv file it didnt work.

I don't know anything about how any of this technology works, but that seems unnecessarily restrictive to me. As long as it can only physically play on the phone why should they care if you can stream it?
You, sir, are waaaaaaay too logical for your own good.
Where exactly is the movie file stored after you download it from media hub

All this drm crap is making this way too difficult. If the Avengers movie is being offered to me for free, why can't I be able to view it on my "smart" tv wirelessly.

yes It does and not one thing on it that helps. Im leaning towards the modem settings
Looks neat this thing. The Wifi sharing of the galaxy s3 screen sounds nice.. till I learned atm no JB support? No HD game support it seems.
Galaxy s3 wifi connectivity to LG LM 7600
I am trying to share my mobile screen (Note: not to view picture or movies like in iMediashare), the entire screen.
When i use Wi-fi direct i am able to link TV and mobile, but i dont know how to share mobile screen in TV
When i choose Allplay cast, TV is able to recognize the mobile(Mobile scanning does not show TV) and able to send connection request from TV, I am able to accept the request in mobile but not able to share the screen in TV
If any one have done screen sharing from S3 to LG smart TV could you please share
If you're waiting for the AllShare hub to get under $50 and live in the US, you can register your phone through the Samsung website and they email you a 50% off mobile accessories coupon.

This! I got an email from samsung about this and after I registered I got the discount code via email. Sucks I just bought the hub on amazon for $72 like a week ago too. Maybe I can still return it.
To the OP, ya anything Allshare is samsung proprietary so you have to use wifi direct to output video, picture, and music to your LG. I had the same TV and wifi direct works better than allshare play which takes way too long to connect and sometimes doesnt connect so you have to keep going at it. I have a samsung tv too which I kept rather than replacing it with the LG.
But the allshare cast hub can mirror your phone and will work on any TV so I went with that instead just incase I upgrade my TV with another brand.

Using Logitech database for IR Blaster?

My set top box is not supported on peel or watch on, but I found that it is supported by the Logitech harmony codes.
Is there anyway we can get the codes from that database and use them in peel or some other app?
I also have an IR receiver with a 3.5mm output. Can it be used to learn IR codes from the original remote?
If it helps my box is a Cisco 3410DVB

Go to Samsung's website after submitting a ticket via WatchOn, which should happen after failing to set it up, & submit a question to customer service. I had an issue with codes & after getting a hold of service, 3 days later one of their engineers contacted me & a week later t5hey had fixed my issue.
Sammy's customer service has come a long way & has become pretty responsive & helpful. That has been my experience in the last 6 months.
Thanks for the info.
Actually I don't have watch on in my device.
I had submitted the problem with the peel app, but there hasn't been much response to that from the support guys.
I tried an S4 version of Watchon, but it gave me some error, I will try to get the note 8.0 version.

I must be the only once that can't get my TVs to ever react to the IR blaster... just doesn't seem strong enough.
I wonder what's the point in having IR with no app which you could teach by reading signal from your own remote. Even the old Palms could do it (Novii Remote). I searched the Play Store and found nothing, Peel is the first app to go once I start removing the S-bloatware.

Actually, it is Samsung's fault. The hardware for learning codes is missing from galaxy device. The device doesn't even cost 50 cents, why did they didn't include it?
Sony is much better in this aspect, it can learn codes.

Oddly I like WatchOn and glad Sammy went with them. I have DirectTV so it's fully functional for almost everything i need. Do with it has a full remote instead the scaled down one. But I paid for the directv remote that works on all my boxes via network, rather i'm in that room or not. Great for screwing with my kids when they decide they want to hide in they rooms instead of coming when i call.
