Remote control range - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

I am on my 2nd note 8 5110 wifi and have a question about the range for the remote funtions. If I am more than about 6 ft away nothing works. I have to be within about 5 ft for the tv or directv box to accept the commands. Is this normal. My S4 and Note 10.1 both work fine from long range but this thing does nothing past 6 ft

Can anyone comment on this. Is the range this bad on this thing or is it just mine that is this bad

I have the same range on my 8.0 as you. My 10.1 was double the IR range that this is for whatever reason. You are not crazy lol.

I got at least 8 feet range with mine, but it only works to power on/off, the direction and number buttons. It does not change channel by the app.

I had this issue. When you set up the device remember which one you said yes to when it asks if it worked and this time say no so it goes on to the next code in the list. Eventually you'll find the right one that does all the functions.
btw I also get about 8 ft from mine, but it needs to be flat and pointed right at the device. Kinda useless compared to good universal remote.

mine work around 5m only... so kind of useless

It works fine with one TV, while for another TV, it only works with some functions. I have tried different codes already. I guess I may need to try to change the codes for each button individually.

5m is a great distance for most IR remote. You must have a very big house.

Couple of ROM's in the development section with multitasking already working, it's very handy!
Coldfustion has quite a few great videos on his YouTube channel. One of which is a how to on how to set up your note the way he has it set up. It's more of a how to for go launcher than anything. But it's very helpful. His review of the new Apple iPod was even entertaining, as he references is no note 2. LoL!

Yeah, I have my note 2 setup like his and people are blown away on how I did it. I am using most of his wallpapers so the phone's background never is the same. He is pretty artistic in the way he has everything setup.
That's awesome! Maybe I'm missing something, but from what I see, everything he's using is native, there's no special software except that floating browser software. Then obviously the hardware (adapter, mouse, keyboard).
Does anybody know what UI he's got?

No, both apple lol. I am guessing he might be using blue tooth for one and usb for the other.
Both bluetooth. I used to use em with my iPad (which I sold to buy a non contract note 2). The apple magic mouse, however, only can use its nice touch features while connected to a mac so its really just a simple, thin mouse. The logitech version of the keyboard has a nice case that it comes with, might be a good alternative.

It might be confusing in the beginning but as you watch the video, pause it and do each step as he tells you. The end result will be so worth it.
Great video, as soon as that dock releases, I plan to do something like this.
Nice video. It would be great to see how well Ubuntu (or some other favorite linux distribution) does. This would give you many other office and math applications to use. Anyone try linux on android yet? Downside would be that it has no audio. But performance should be very good.
Amazing stuff. While I'd have to wait for a dock myself, the USB-to-go cable looks like a wonderful alternative. Now, if I can find a reasonably priced portable monitor, I could truly go mobile - no need to worry about lugging around a laptop.
I wonder where he got the tripod or phone holder for the Note 2. . .

After seeing this I decided to give it a go. Sadly I don't have a mouse or the MHL connector yet, but it seems to work, at least for productivity. Got ubuntu 12 running with minimal effort, working on debian right now to see which I prefer. It seems pretty hard to use without a mouse, and I am lazy so instead of searching my house for a spare mouse, because I am unwilling to unplug the mouse from my desktop, I instead ordered a cheap bluetooth mouse. When I have everything I will probably make a video for myself.

I like the mouse . . . Since the old RS Model 1 days I hate finger prints on any screen......
I got one of these and found that every now and then the mouse pointer movement is very jumpy. Stock ROM on a P600. The touch scroll is very finicky and there is a fine line between getting it to register pressure for scrolling and interpreting a middle button click. Other than that, it works great out of the box.

Mine is not jumpy at all. As far as the scrolling goes (pushing it is HOME, push and hold is move to another app). Anyway, it will work fine when you get used to the touch. I was touching too light at first. Firm pressure without so much it causes the button to push is what it takes. After a short time I was used to it.

Miracast with CM11?

I see the option for cast to screen for CM 11. Will this work for Miracast?
If so is this a good one to get?

Oh so the cast doesn't work? I'd rather not waste 20 bucks if it's not going to work lol
Not saying it doesn't. Just my experience. Ive not tried a new cm11 build in awhile. Maybe others will chime in with positive outcomes.
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk
Just loaded aicp newest ROM. Cast worked fine. No reason cm11 wouldn't. My bad.
Well just worried I heard chromecast just added the option to mirror my friend gave me a chromecast and I've been using it. I updated the app to the newest software and no cast for the phone.

Well I'm installing the newest nightly to see if that helps too. Right now it's crashing when trying to cast. At least it shows it now
Went ahead and bought the one listed in the original post. I won it for 18 bucks. Pick had to use 16 in ebay bucks in 3 days or lose them so only really had to pay like 2 bucks for it. Hopefully I"ll be able to mirror with this. I'm really surprised no one with CM 11 as bought a miracast doggle before.

Can you provide additional info on how this particular dongle worked for you? I have just gotten into Miracast, and am looking at dongles etc. I have looked at Netgear's Push2TV and Actiontec Screenbeam Pro. I was very skeptical about these smaller manufacturer dongle...so I would appreciate your input on this dongle you bought.
BTW, just remember that as far as Laptops/Computers go the computer HARDWARE must be Intel certified for Widi to work, even though Windows 8.1 has Miracast SOFTWARE. So for now I am stuck using only my phone/tablet natively.
Thanks for any feedback!

Well it worked if I was on the same wifi even though it didn't need the net to be on in order to work. Since the chrome cast option came out I didn't really worry about using the miraicast anymore but wanted to try it out. I'm sure it will work even better with a higher priced miricast doggle but ya again it works but for hotel wise I just went with my android doggle it always plays anything perfectly fine and it entertained all of my gf and Is roommates a ton.

The only thing putting me off ordering the 10 is the lack of IR blaster which I use daily on my M9 and previous HTC's.

I use my LG App. As long as my 10 and my television are within the same Wireless LAN I simply don't need an IR blaster any longer
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA Labs
I was disappointed with the removal of the IR Blaster, I loved it on the SGS4, M8 and M9.
However, looking back I can count the number of times I used it on each device. It was great to have when needed, but just that, when needed and that wasn't much.
It's not something that was a game changer when choosing the device for me.
I'd like to have it and would consider checking out something like the above for when I may need it. (however the shipping said up to 55 days, with no tracking.. I'd like to find an alternative site to purchase from)

There are better 3.5mm ir blasters that work. And some advice, if you are buying the 10, go for the silver or red variant, the black one is so prone to scrathing and paint chiping. Other than that, the phone is great, you won't regret it.
I have a similar IR blaster but is far away from the functions and precision from my previous M9 and M7. It uses an app called ZaZa Remote which hasn't the features that Peel has like the shows that are passing in the moment.
It also have precision issues and the distance range is very poor. You need to disable Dolby Audio in order to work "properly".
I wouldn't recommend it but considering cheapness of the device and that is the only option, go ahead and try it yourself, maybe you have more luck than me.

Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit

Dears,
anybody tried Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit?
I'm actually on Eonon GA2168K - 10" Android 8 Head Unit, it's a good device with minor problems.
Anytime developers fix a problem they introduce an other problem and there's no community support for MTK chipsets.
Because of this I'm evaluating the new Eonon GA2178, that is quite similar but based on Rockchip chipset.
Tks!
Any update on that GA2178 new device? I bought this one as well but have not installed it yet.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
I installed this unit (Eonon GA2178) on my Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2019 on last weekend. It's working great, Loudness setting makes the sound awesome.
Cons:
- I don't like the launcher, probably will use FCC Launcher
- I have not figured out how to connect the steering wheel to SWC1 and SWC2. I think I'm missing the decoder box (Axxess or Metra). I'll buy it on amazon and report back if it works.
Feel free to ask any questions on the install.
I used the Metra. Works good. Sometimes it gets confused and doesn't work but 95% of the time it works.

I've got a GA2176 and just purchased a GA2178.
I probably should have asked these questions before I bought the new unit but.
Does this come with google play store installed?
Have they fixed the overheating issues? I saw a review where the screen would flicker in heat over 85 degrees.
Has anyone tried the addon dongle that supports android auto and apple carplay?
Google Play Store was installed from the factory. I had to install multiple other Google Apps (I have a Pixel 3 and use them all).
Live in Georgia and we've had a heck of a summer. No overheating issues.

No reviews as of a week or two ago and the company didn't answer my question about how it works or if it would enable the latest version of Android Auto.

Well, when I talk to customer support I was told it will work with the GA2178 so I ordered it with the head unit. Hopefully I'll have it before the week is out and offer some feedback.
I have not seen a way to root yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
I am running FCC launcher and am getting along fine with it. I hated the stock UI.. it's pretty horrible.
I am very interested in hearing your experience with the adapter. Why we'd have to spend another $60 for it to work like it should is beyond me. However, I really would like to have that feature. Let us know what you find out.

I have a 2010 Dodge Ram and used the PAC RP4-CH11 decoder and the SW switches work very well. You can even program them for short and long pushes. This gives you the ability to control more functions with them.

I received the head unit and carplay/android auto dongle yesterday. I tried the dongle with the old head unit, Eonon 2176 installed and it seems to function just like any other iOS carplay stereo. Once I get the 2178 installed I'll do some more testing and let you know what I find and think.
Sounds great man. Thank you.

I installed my Ga2168 in my Nissan Sentra and I have the dongle as well as usb stick, sd card and front and rear cameras as well as GPS and wifi installed. When I originally got this it ran incredible but the 2x I tried to turn it on it would not. I used the reset whole and it finally turned back on. It ran fine after but then a few days later the same thing it would not turn on. The reset button worked again but I contacted support and they sent me two files to do a complete system reinstall. The problem is not that I reinstalled the os it is so slow everything runs slow to the point I don't want to even use this radio. I will say when I first got the machine it worked fine other than not turning on sometimes. The dongle works perfect with IOS and Android I tested both. I will say I prefer to use my phone as a hotspot and just use the tablet as a giant phone.

One thing I noticed is how these stereos don't like to run well if they are not getting a full 12.8 volts. I left a dash camera on in the parking mode and it ran the battery down to 12.2 volts before shutting off. After that the stereo seem to run slow and was slow to boot. It even had issues with turning on a few times. This was with my old GA 2176 model. I put the battery on a charger and fully charged it and the stereo went back to normal.
edit - of course I go out to my truck this morning and the stereo wont turn on!!! lol the battery is 12.2 volts. I had to use the reset button to get the stereo to start again.
So if you have a weak battery it can cause issues with the stereo.

Sounds great man. Thank you.
You don't by chance have an Android Phone to test it with too do you?

I don't have an android phone, just a MiPad 4 that I can test with.
I do have an issue with the screen being kind of floppy from side to side. Where it connects to the mount on the main head unit isn't that tight of a fit. I sent an email to Eonon and they want me to make a video of it. I'm going to assume there is nothing they can do about it. I'll probably have to make some sort of a wedge to go between the screen and the head unit.
Mine has a little movement.. not horrible but it would be nice if it was tighter.
Screen isn't very sensitive but I'm used to using my Google Pixel 3 XL.
Seems much more like an old tablet where you had to press hard on the keys to get it to respond.
I am driving an F350 Powerstroke Diesel. It has two 12v batteries so voltage isn't a problem for me.

Here's the video of the loose screen rattle.

I sent it to Eonon CS, NIcky, to see what they say but I'm sure it's going to be sorry, that's just how the mount is.
That's how mine is. Let me know what you find out.

I got a response from eonon, they told me to tighten the screws. As you can see in the video, all of the mounting screws are tight. I told them as much in the first email.
I then got a second email asking me to please make the video private. I can only assume it's to avoid bad press. Well, that isn't going to happen.
Anybody know if this ROM will work on the GA2178? It's for a px30 and from malaysk. Do I have to root first?

From what I can see it doesn't support the 2178 or 2176 atm. These two HU are rk3326 with 2 mg of memory and the ROMs you link to only support 3368 and 3399 HU with 4 mg of memory.
I just got the GA2178. Has anyone figured out how to unlock developers settings or USB debugging?
