Does anybody have the list of devices supported by QRemote app.
It doesn't work with my Dynex TV, Roku, or WDTV. So far its been useless at my house. Perhaps it'll be fun to use outside a bar on Game night. Lol

That just happened to be an LG TV. Qremote doesn't work on any of my TVs at home (Akai, Westinghouse, Panasonic).
The version of QRemote that i'm using has around 1400 brands on the TV section alone...
It works with all devices i pointed my phone at.
I was wrong. It does work with all of my devices, but it is a weak transmitter.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the SmartShare app that comes with LG phones to work with the S3? Just got an LG smart TV and want to use this feature. I did find an APK, but it just force closes after installation with the message 'manufacturer not match'
I'm not sure on the implications of this and I would check but I suppose you could alter thebbuil prop to saybthis is an lg phone and not a Sammy.
Check first as I have no idea of it's problems etc

No it never will and never was! Works with LG's verry well, don't get the OP's point why he wants the SmartShare app if AllShare can do the same...
DLNA is a standard so should work with ALL DLNA capable products!
Only screen mirror and that kind of (non_DLNA) functions will work per brand...
I actually find BubbleUPnP better than AllShare too as you can assign a different video player app - take a look at that if you're not a fan of AllShare.

No Allshare app is only for Samsung devices for now. Samsung wants to include other brands too eventually but for now all Samsung devices can be connected thru it. My LG smart tv is not recognized on it and just like allshare, LG has their own Smartshare. OP can still use DLNA directly on S3 to connect his TV but allshare would only work with Samsung devices
I have actually patched the manufacturer check but it crashes on my Nexus 7... I will share apk here so you can test it on your device.
NOTE: I do not think this is going to work on any device exept LG becouse of some kernel modules that are developed by LG and included only in their phones.
Does not works :crying:

I know we're just speculating about capabilities at this point, but does anyone know if the Ouya will be able to run the Netflix Android app? That would be a huge if it could.
it should run. It may have to sided loaded at first. the only question is how well the user interface will work with a controller. It should be navigable if Sixaxis Controller and app are any indication.
I put Netflix on mine. Without changing the key mapping (which might interfere with games), the gamepad didn't work too well with Netflix. I had to just use the trackpad on the gamepad to use a mouse cursor.

That's the method I'm using. It works fine in a pinch, but it's not nearly as good as Netflix for the Roku. I certainly hope they develop an Ouya version.

The biggest problem I've noticed is the stream quality on Ouya. I've connected mine via Ethernet and (maybe others can confirm with Netflix) the stream seems very poor, especially on a large screen. For example, streaming Foxsoccer2go on highest quality on Ouya looks MUCH worse than running through my laptop -> hdmi port on the TV. Unless there is some kind of method to improve this, I would not recommend streaming on the Ouya.
It's because you're running a phone app. Newest Netflix streams 1080p, but needs Android 4.3.
I've heard that if you grab the Netflix APK that was released for the Google TV it's better, but I haven't personally confirmed yet

It is easier to navigate but streaming is still choppy.

Hi people,
Are you suggesting to get a ezcast dongle or chromecast ? (considering the recent news about chromecast)

Really depends on how and where you want to use it. For home use, either one probably be OK. I don't think you can mirror with Chromecast (not sure about Miracast). Also, I've heard that results sometimes vary; some people have complained about audio delays with Miracast.
If you want to use your Android device to watch video somewhere other than at home (say, at a motel), Chromecast will probably not work because of the types of networks available at hotels. Miracast might work, but you would not be able to connect to the hotel's wi-fi network while using it.
Personally, I have a Xbox setup for streaming video at home that works great, so I mainly use my Android stuff while in hotels. For me, the best bet is a Slimport adapter. This will give you high quality video and will let you stream from a hotel wi-fi network or using 4G. Anything that you watch on your phone, you can watch using a Slimport adapter.

Unfortunately, for those of us in the UK, Chromecast is not yet (officially) an option...

From my understanding, EZCast will mirror anything displayed on the source device to the TV but Chromecast is limited to specific apps. Is this correct?

I've just read this article which explains the differences:

I think I would go with Chromecast. Although I do have PS3 as my media streamer.

My wife has the lg flex and I have the g3. I loved how her phone could control most of our devices without learning from the original remotes(which we lost). It was a bummer when i tried to control my sons dvd player(they destroyed the remote) and couldn't find a dvd function like on her phone. Any ideas other then learning the code from her phone? I fig its the same version of kit kat on tmobile like our phones and lg so maybe they would be compatible.

I definitely think it is. It works much better than the built in LG remote app on my TV and I even have a LG TV.

Does it handle smart tv stuff pretty well? I think this is where the build in app fails...I can turn the tv on, but trying to navigate around netflix or amazon can get a bit tricky...
I'd like this also. One area that HTC is brilliant is in their remote app and the way they integrate your TV guide. I wish LG's remote wasn't so vanilla.

Even using the magic remote function? That's why I've stuck to the stock remote because I can use the same "mouse pad" function from the lg smart remote app right in the built in app with my LG TV.

No, it won't use the magic remote function, which is one of the main reasons I like it. I absolutely hate the magic remote and the fact that there is no input button on the remote. WTF? I switch between 2- HDMI inputs all the time and with the magic remote or LG app I have to bring up the input screen and then select which one I want. With smart IR I have buttons for each HDMI input and can switch between them with just one button press. The ability to do this is worth the price of the app to me.
Hi please can someone tell me how to get LG QRemote (Or Quick Remote, as it's sometimes referred to) working on a UK LG G Pad 8.3? I got the tablet for free in a promotion when I bought an LG UHD TV and I thought after reading about QRemote (which is mentioned in all of the promotions for this device) that I could simply use the tablet mainly as a remote control for controlling all of the various AV components I have and of ditching the seven or so remote controls I currently have. I have tried some universal/learning remotes, but my success has varied in getting these to learn the codes for all of my devices.
However it turns out that the UK version didn't ship with QRemote preinstalled. The official word from LG was because in their view there was no demand for this feature in the UK. I of course have struggled to understand this point of view, but there seems to be little I can do about it. Also there doesn't seem to be a simple APK for this app that I can download.
My device does appear to have an IR blaster, but after trying a few IR Remote apps, none so far have been able to recognise that the IR blaster is there. I don't know if this has also been disabled in hardware, or if it's just a software limitation.
So my thoughts are that maybe either one of you guys can make an APK for this app for me and others like me and share it here, or maybe I could flash my G Pad with a custom American ROM, with QRemote included? If so is there any guide anywhere that would show me how to do this safely and how/where to obtain a custom ROM? I have already rooted the device, so hopefully that's half the battle.
Hi
Interesting thread
I was searching for my G Pad in order to find a way to inject another Quick Remote app (like that of G2) in it for having more options because G Pad per se only supports TVs, DVD players and Blue rays while a G2 for example includes also Data Projectors and Air Conditioners that are more practical for me at least.
Regarding to your case, I may upload my QR's APK and Odex for you but i am not sure whether it would work or not. Then if you wish so, let me know.
And about my case, if some one thinks it would be possible with no harm, i'd be glad to know.
I don't know if that would work either. Anyone? A custom Rom that includes it even?

All of the custom roms I have tried did not include the remote functionality. My G3 definitely has a better remote program. It is silly that the GPad remote program is gimped in the way that it is.

The IR blaster works and I got a version of QRemote from a pack of official LG apps supplied by one of the custom ROM developers for this device. But you are correct that it has been severely 'gimped' over what was originally advertised in the promotions for this device. It can currently only control some TV's some DVD players and some Blue-ray players. The learning features have been removed, as has the ability to control any AV components, or any other devices.
What exactly is the point of an IR blaster without this functionality? They gave me the G Pad with my TV. But currently the installed software can't even fully control my TV.
What alternatives are there, preferably with full learning functionality?

On the GPad itself, none that I am aware of. The device driver from what I have read for the IR functionality is locked down and no open source alternative works with the hardware. Until LG patches it, or releases the driver we have what we have but nothing more... (about all I can do with my Samsung TV that is useful for my setup is turn it on and change the input)
It was my understanding that the g pad only has a transmitter and no receiver which is why we can't get our tablet to learn from our remotes.
