Remote feature - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see the m8 has a smart remote feature but its confusing me. Does it actually have the IR sensor to use it like a regular remote? That's the selling point to me if it does.

Yes.

Yeah, it works really well too; the stock app has a fantastic selection of tv manufacturers and set-top boxes. I didn't have a single issue setting it up.

IR blaster located in power button
HTC UltimEight ?

It should be included with stock; I have Verizon. It may be in the play store too - try HTC TV.

Not only that, but it can copy IR codes from a remote, which means it even works on my super off brand tv. No remote has a code for it besides the remote that came with the tv.

No he wasn't angry at you - it was me! No worries mate. I think he thought I was attacking his intelligence
Anyway - this is a really cool app. I'll try running some diagnostics and see why us G2 users are running into this 12007 error. I more than likely won't be able to do anything about it, but maybe having that info will make it easier for someone with greater programming intelligence than myself to remedy the issue.

yeah I know he was snapping at you, I just thought it was funny that he "corrected" me in the first place when I hadn't even misspoken. I don't typically care, but e-know-it-alls especially get on my nerves when it's been a rough morning, hehe.
it's not going to work still... I knew there had been issues with DRM (you can almost assuredly thank the MPAA for that one), but I thought maybe someone found a work-around. just keep crossing your fingers, and if you're a paying Netflix customer, SEND ANGRY COMPLAINTS! certainly looks pretty, though!

I don't get the 12007 error. I get 1005. Unable to locate server or something. I am a subscriber and was able to log in and see all my stuff but not watch. It is working fine for setting up my queue and what not. I will continue to use it in that capacity. Will look forward to this getting cracked.
Manage DVD queue?
Just like everyone else, I can't stream instant movies. But I already knew that before loading this apk.
What I really want is to manage my DVD queue and Instant queue. The problem is it looks like this apk can only manage my Instant queue. I don't see my DVD queue. Is it just me?

Have you tried queue manager?
nice interface, requires adobe air to be installed but it's the best free netflix instant/disc queue manager I have found.
I'm fairly certain the reason it doesn't work is because of a hardware lock. Netflix has come to an agreement, that because android is so open, there'd be no way to stop piracy, without a hardware prevention method. It will be usable starting with the "next-gen" qualcomm and others processors.
Not saying it can't be bypassed, but I'd bet its the hardware issue.

I think its funny netflix cares so much. I mean at this day in age, everythin streamed can be recorded no matter what. The file is hittin said comp, phone, tv, device. So all ya gotta do is find out where the file is or how to send the feed to somethin else that can copy it.

[Q] Is there a way to activate Bluetooth on the Kindle Fire?

In the iFixit teardown it says that there is actually a Bluetooth chip inside the Kindle Fire, though Amazon offers no support for it. Is there a way to activate it like with the Nook Color?
Here is the article (could not post the full link because I am new):
theverge.com/2011/11/16/2565949/kindle-fire-root-teardown-source-code
Thanks
The module on the KF has the required antenna switch front end to use the one antenna for both BT and WiFi. The only requirement left is that the high speed serial channel and the enable signal are wired up. Unfortunately the source doesn't give us any indication like on the Nook Color.
Maybe we need a half-dead Kindle for reverse engineering...

I'm a noob at this but if they took it apart couldn't they see if the high speed serial channel and the enable signal are wired up? And if they are, how would you activate the bluetooth?

That is exactly why I think getting a damaged Kindle for dissection would be beneficial. If the enable signal is wired up to a GPIO, then it's easy to add that to the kernel.

I don't think it would be easy to patch into stock, but with a build closer to AOSP it would be controlled through wireless settings like on any other platform.

So it would have to be through the Kindle Firmware or could we develop an app for the Kindle Fire that could enable the Bluetooth?

No that won't work, because the kernel doesn't support bluetooth. Basically those sorts of apps will tell the kernel "turn on bluetooth" or "turn off bluetooth" and the kernel will do it (that's my understanding at least). So support would have to be added to the kernel (i.e. needs to be a custom kernel)

Can be compiled.as a module, can't it? I doubt though that the fire has all the other bluetooth stuff built in (I haven't looked, but they would be in /system/etc/bluetooth if it did.)
Of course it's all moot if the hardeware isn't wired for it... if it is, great... if it's not, somebody has to figure that out first.

Cost is the about the biggest reason I can think of. They spent a lot of dev time doing what they did, so enabling it software-wise probably would have been easy enough for them to do.
Doing the extra.bits in the hardware.side might have been easy, and.might.not have increased.the cost.dramatically, but aren't they losing money on the hardware.already?
And wow, I really need to change out this keyboard, heh.

Mirror link is a new tech that is yet to be fully supported for TV's as of yet according to Sony rep today (origin was Car Connectivity), only the very latest TV's most of which are not available enable this functionality, apparently it works with NFC and the Remote control.
In addition it is not until Jelly Bean 4.2 that miracast is natively supported.
Even though Sony say they support the function, as of 8th Jan, I am not 100% sure of these claims because most other WIFI parts they have implemented like throw just don't work completely
It seems even though the phone wasnt on 4.2.2 it still had miracast support as I have got a PTV3000 which worked perfectly fine with the Sony Z using the display mirroring. But I dont have the device anymore hence why I needed the apk for this function for another device.

I will have a look for you. Although it doesn't look good, because the application requires other protocols to function, so no support on your new device, I don't believe it is not going to work. But good luck.
From looking around there look like 4 apks minimum that would be required, even then I am sure it will rely on Sony OS framework somewhere else.
Anyway please find attached files contained within the zip

Actually MirrorLink has nothing to do with TVs nor will it ever. It is a technology that is going to be used in cars only.

I wanna reopen this thread 'cause I have some questions for those that are more experienced than me.
I have an Xperia ZL, and I use MirrorLink with my Sony XAV-712HD Double-DIN head unit. When I connect my phone to the head unit via usb (not MHL), Google Maps starts. This is the default behavior for the combination of my Xperia phone and this head unit, as depicted on this support page:
https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=1145&mdl=XAV712HD
The footnote for my phone, and other Xperia Z product line phones, reads:
The Navi application will start when the MirrorLink connection begins. To use another applications, press the Home button. Application selection may not be available while driving.
My question is that I wonder if the default behavior (to start a Navigation app upon MirrorLink connection) resides in a file, either within the phone or within the head unit. If this behavior is in a file within the phone, I would love to be able to pull the file, edit it to point to another app, and then push the file back into my phone via ADB.
Does anyone know about MirrorLink, and what it requires to behave the way it does?

IR Remote app for CM 11 HTC One

I just installed CM 11 on my T-Mobile HTC One and read that there was IR support for it, but there is no app in the Rom. After looking around a bit I found the app "IR Universal Remote" in the play store and it worked so I thought I'd post it here if anyone is looking for one for their phone. Not sure if it works on GPe Roms but it couldn't hurt to try. I just downloaded the free version.

[Q] Crippled Quick Remote

Is the Quick Remote app on LG G3, which utilizes the IR blaster as a remote control, crippled? When I add a new remote, there are only three device types: TV, cable box and audio, as well as a universal remote. There are no DVD/Bluray! I'm sure I saw a screenshot of this app somewhere that has many more device types. Where can I get the full version?

I'm not sure but I have to say the "quick remote" in the notification area is prob my favorite feature with this phone and the only reason I'll be bummed to use a aosp ROM.
