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.

Think of how awesome this would be...
I have a 55 inch Samsung LED television. SmartTV enabled with AllShare and all that fun stuff. So here is my question...
I want to use my Epic to control my tv. And if it's not possible in the whole sense...how about just for the keyboard function. I'm trying to avoid buying a keyboard so I figure if my phone could serve that function...not only will it be so useful but sooooooo cool!!!
Basically rather than using the remote it came with to type on the Internet or chat or Facebook....I would use my phone to type. Can AllShare be used for any of this? Or does anyone know if this is possible?
I actually think I may have just found my answer in the market....
If anyone has a similar question..."samsung remote" in the market will accomplish all of these requests!!
I already use my epic to control my directv

Its on the directtv website. It allows me to control my dvr. (i can tell me dvr to record anything even if I'm not home). I can purchase movies from ppv and cineplus.

Oh...I can do that. I'm speaking more of changing channels, volume, using my keyboard in place of my remote, etc. The Samsung Remote app does this. Setting my dvr, ppv and cineplus I can do using the directv app as well.

I actually think there is. My brother in law was telling me about an Android App he found which would do all of this. I think he heard it from someone else though, as he didn't have it all hooked up yet, but I do believe he said it was somewhere in the $20 range for the app itself.
If you could use your smartphone as a remote for all that fun stuff...that would be..well..yeah, it's coming, EPIC.
Can you ask your brother in law what is the name of that app.

I did and he mentioned something called "pocketblu" but it only works via bluetooth. Since our phones don't have infrared, they won't work on standard TVs for the most part. He did mention AllShare but didn't get into the details of it.
I know he's looked into this stuff quite a bit, but the above information was through just a few texts. The next time we're together (probably Easter weekend) I'll be sure to have a better discussion with him.
Anyone known what this does?
They are 'RFD' type stickers that can be used with any Samsung Android device that has NFC. You place a sticker somewhere (desk, car etc.) and when the phone / tablet is near to it, you can have its settings preset though an app (i.e. bluetooth on, wireless off, show map app etc.)
Check out the TecTiles free app in the Play Store for more details.
This wont work with Note 10.1 as it does not have NFC
Thanks guys.
At least we have to draw making it special. Haha
Don't forget the rf blaster and peel that makes it an awesome universal remote, even though the app isn't the best to setup.I wish they would make more apps for the rf blaster

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

Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
There was an app called Smart Remote for Galaxy S4 (or something like that) that got pulled from the Play Store a little while ago, but it was far and away the best IR app. It looked great and had support for almost any type of device you could think of. Assuming it comes back at some point I'd highly recommend it.
Smart remote is the tits

Watchon might be able to do it if you have a motorola set top box. Choose MOTOROLA from the set top box device selection menu instead of Verizon FIOS. Worked for me.
However, Watchon's utility is limited as I have not yet found a way to fully customize WatchOn for all the special set top box commands (guide, dvr, skip fwd, skip back, etc.)
I saw a universal ir remote app before I bought this phone but now I can't find it .

You are looking Watch On, I had trouble using it. Controls the TV okay but I had trouble using the DVR with it.
No not watch on its not a Samsung app it's made by another developer it controls all devices and has more features for rooted devices it's been around for a while

Touch squid ftw. Good support and they update a lot. Kind of challenging setting up less than common features on remotes though.

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.
