[Q] IR blaster not working with CM11 Nightlys - T-Mobile HTC One (M8)

I know the known issue list says IR blaster is not working on older nightlys but I have been reading that people are saying it is working. I'm running the latest nightly June 3rd build and I get nothing. This is the only issue I am having as everything else is working like a top. Didn't know if there was something special I have to do to get it working?

The last I heard, the IR blaster works with various IR programs in the Play Store, but not the HTC TV app. Have you tried other IR apps?

I have tried IR Universal Remote and HTC IR - Universal Remote and neither of them work with my TV or with my IR receiver on my computer. Eventghost does not recognize any inputs from my phone.

[Q] Is my m8's IR blaster spoilt?

Have just gotten my M8
tried using the stock TV app first, didnt work... and it also doesn't "learn" from the other remote.
downloaded IR Universal Remote (which worked perfect on my S4 Active) and HTC Universal remote from the play store...
i do see the red beam flash ONCE only, but still doesnt turn on any device (tried a few diff TVs)
does anyone have an app or way to test this before i send it back for repairs?
None of the softwares remote profiles worked for me, I had to teach the app with the remote manually one button at the time to get it to work.
Worked fine for me, first try. Sony TV and Sony surround with an AT&T U-verse cable box. I only had to use the remote for it to learn from for 1, which worked first try. (All via their TV app on the phone)
I'm sure you're aware, but keep in mind the IR is in the power button itself. Good luck
Google smart ir remote. Best remote out there.

[Q] Which Infra Red app ?

I have installed several Infra Red apps, and my TV never reacts. It's a classic Samsung TV.
Either I did not understand how to use IR apps, or my IR hardware is broken.
When doing IR on computer, softs allow recording IR frames from other remotes.
***
Also looking for ways to print over IR, and do IR transfer with other devices.
***
Also looking for NFC apps, if you can recommend a good one.

I had the same trouble when i first got my phone too.... tried all apps but couldnt work on my LG or Samsung TVs.
after i reset to factory defaults, it worked!
My default app for the remote picks up everything. I work in a pawn shop and I am able to connect to tvs , stereos, etc, almost everything with an infrared receptor. So I assume your phone is rooted and that might be the problem. Before the ONE M8 I've used a note 2 rooted so I had to flash something in order to communicate with my TV. Might be the same issue although not 100% sure.

I have used the stock HTC Sense TV app; my TV did not react to any auto detect, but manual record/replay of frames worked. I will have to do it the hard way. Later. I am just happy my phone is not faulty; I will dig later.
In the end ...
the phone includes a TV Application on stock rom that works fine. Just, it starts by asking question about ADSL, TV, region ... but after answering those unrelated questions (and by the way, it forgets to ask if the TV can be controlled by LAN, Wifi ... ), you end up in an IR interface.
The IR configuration tool failed 2d ago. Since then, I have updated to 4.4.3. And rebooted several times.
The issue is that I have installed many IR apps; and after trying to use some, the IR get stuck. So, in short, the solution is: if an IR software does not work, you need to reboot before trying an other one.
Once you have identified a bunch of apps that work, you can switch between them. But, if you ever use a non working one, then, IR will never work again ... untill reboot.
Don't understand why; and don't want to know. Just reporting my experience.
With very similar interfaces: HTC IR universal works fine, Samsung IR does not.
Working for me:
- stock TV app
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.sample.ir
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jw.ir.remote.control
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.castreal.remote

IR sensor

So I have the cm11 snapshot build installed. Everything works fine except the ir remote. Not just quick remote either. I've tried many ir remotes from the play store. None work. My av reciever and TV worked, now I can't use the ir at all. Is it something with cm?

I have same problem on my n910v Note 4 Verizion and Lineage 14.1. Have you found solution ?
No solution yet. Found several remotes that seem to work, but either duplicate commands or power the TV off after each command.
