[Q] Crippled Quick Remote - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?
Model: AT&T D850

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.

Right but what I'm saying I love is the notification drop down quick remote. Having that widget is awesome.

Thanks for confirming that! Can the Quick Remote app on G2 be exported and installed on G3?

It used to have a lot more devices.
Like projectors, air conditioners and so on.
After an update they removed it. Beats me why.

REQ: Mirrorlink or MirrorDisplay apk

Guys I am looking for the app that allows you to get the wireless display mirroring working for Miracast based devices. Xperia Z has Mirror link or mirror display, can you check if there is an apk for this. TA

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.
Thank you for the files danw_oz I will give these a try and see. Thx again

Why are all of you wasting time with this when you have awesome apps by Zappo which cover all that you need ?
Just search Zappo in Google Play Store.
I installed a few Zappo's apps which was able to send output to my LG TV, WD TV device and an AppleTV.
Just try it and let me know
cheers.

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?

Working AOSP IR remote

One of the reason I bought the ZL was the IR remote function, but unfortunately Sony didn't do a good job on it.
Only presets that came with the app worked, learning function didn't.
At first I thought that it was only my device that didn't work, but after searching a bit, I found out that
almost every ZL user faced this problem.
I gave up on the IR remote and went with a custom ROM.
Until yesterday I found this app that someone made for the Tablet Z.
It's called TSRemote, it only has the learning function for now.
The author seems busy and hasn't updated it for a while.
Hopefully someone can work on this project, it's opened source on GITHUB.
Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385277
The layout will be overlapped since it's meant for Tablet Z, you need to change the app DPI to 260-280 and it will look good.
Tested working with OMNI ROM 4.4
link is not working..
The stock IR app is functioning normally (including learning feature) under 4.3 10.4.B.0.569. If you are comfortable with the stock Sony firmware then you should consider updating to this firmware.
Really? Didn't know that...
Haven't gone back to stock ROM after flashing a custom one.
I'll try that soon.
Anyways, I think this is still good news for AOSP users.
Since IR remote is one of the function that haven't been implemented to the ROMS.
People might want to stay with AOSP rom and have an IR remote.
Well it's all about preferences.

It does work as it should, and it was fixed already in the 4.2.2 - 10.3.1.A.2.67 version

You may flash the Generic stock firmware followed by this kernel and you have stock Sony experience with root and recovery.

So, you're saying that you can confirm that there are cases where Sony's Remote Control App's "Manual Setup" feature says it learns the IR command successfully, and then is also able to replicate that command to the device successfully?
And with the same device, it sometimes also states it learned the command successfully, while infact pressing the button doesn't seem to replace that command to the target device?

I was wondering because I know many people experience problems with the remote IR learning feature. In an attempt to get to the bottom of this, I was wondering if your case could be special.
However, in the meantime I received word that Xperia ZL units manufactured before week 18 of 2013 have a hardware production fault that prevents proper IR learning. I have yet to receive a working ZL (I sent it in for repair twice already).
For anyone in the same boat, check out the link in my sig.

You can find the date when unfolding the label where the SIM and the SD are. Mine is from 13W06 and IR learning does not work.

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.

Remote feature

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.

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.

Battery status of Bluetooth device

Hi guys,
I would like to know if there's a possibility to display the battery status of a connected Bluetooth device on the Oneplus 3? Natively or via a third party app? Ideally for me, it should work on the stock ROM but if necessary I would flash a custom one if it would only be possible that way.
Thanks in advance :good:

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to work with my specific pair of headphones :/ If that means that they don't send battery information to the phone I probably can't get it to work with any solution.

Sorry to hear that.
FWIW after suggesting the app to you, I did try it out. It seemed to work with my pair of blue tooth headphones during the limited time I used it..
Going by the comments about the app in the play store, it looks like the usage is limited based on the manufacturer of the blue tooth device....
Just to close this topic: This feature was released in Open Beta 19 and for me it works great!
how to enable that??? by default its not showing when connected......... im on latest beta

How do you activate it? I have a watch connected and it's not showing anything
I didn't have to activate it. For me it just worked. Your Bluetooth device still has to support sending its battery information to the phone. In this months Open Beta update there were some fixes for this feature. Maybe it works for you now?
Edit: grammar
