My IR blaster doesn't work i have tried multiple external apps but i cannot get it to work consistently with my TVs. I have tried with multiple different makes of tvs. It turns on my tv but doesnt change channels or volume and i have tried the specific button settings on the lg app
Maybe the phones fine and the program isn't setup correctly
Thing is that the IR Blaster isnt so strong.
I tried the QuickRemote app and found it did a pretty poor job of recording the remote signals. Maybe the problem isn't that your transmitter is weak but that your recordings are bad.

Hi,
Just saw this, haven't got one or seen it, but looks interesting...
http://features.engadget.com/entry/6336778455600767/
It's a small audio - to infrared signal convertor.
Was just thinking how you could turn down the TV when the commercials come on to surf the net in quiet. with out the need to reach for the remote
Regards

You are one lazy lazy boy!
Jus kiddin. I use Novii remote and it is just fantastic. It has macro recording function so i can basically teach the software what all signals to use.
Oh and i do use it to turn down the tv while browsing the net; i dont like reaching for the remote myself
How do you deal with the landscape issue? I'm looking for the best remote control software, but the location of the IR port makes it awkward...
read the article again - you don't actually use the IR port. You use the audio jacket which is conveniently located at the back of the Universal.
Was looking at turning my i9300 into a universal remote controller for home entertainment.
As there is no infrared blaster built in and my TV, DVD, SkyHD box are not bluetooth enabled, two options become apparent, add extra IR hardware or remote Bluetooth to IR hardware.
1. Add external IR hardware - this seems fiddly to have to find and then insert the IR device into headphone socket each time. http://www.irdroid.com/ About €14
2.1. Griffin: http://griffintechnology.com/support/beacon-android (currently out of stock). About €52 and need separate versions for android and apple.
2.2. PDAwin.com: http://www.pdawin.com/android . €79.80
More expensive, and android only, but the app seems quite well thought out. The idea of photographing your own remote or creating an image of your "own" remote and using this is appealing - can prioritise the most used buttons at top of the screen for ease of use.
2.3. irdroid: http://www.irdroid.com/irdroid-v2/ About €44
App functionality needs more work.
2.4: Logitech Harmony
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/harmony-smart-control, €90
Appears well thought out
Has anyone here tried any of these or other versions?
Any recommendations - besides waiting for my next phone that is ir enabled
I haven't tried this yet but thanks for posting the links I may give one of them of a shot.
Found another option to use with IR hardware in the earphone jack - a very comprehensive piece of software: http://developers.coversal.com/projects/coversal/wiki
Hi
Has anyone got a bluetooth shutter working, particularly this sort which claim to work the Galaxy S range?
Link to product on Amazon UK
Many thanks.
Not a Bluetooth per se, but I have an iSnapX remote shutter which works in a similar manner. You download the app on your device and the remote will activate the camera. Even has another button which switches between front and rear cameras. Here's a link, though I found it deeply discounted in a FedEx/Kinko's:

And disregard all the "iStuff." It will work with an Android device as well. It worked on my Note 3 and works on the G4. Hope it helps!
Greetings,
I have a mi6 and it's brand new, and I used to use the mi remote controller normally but suddenly it stopped working. I have tried many apps from app store but none of them work.
Do anyone know a fix for it? The blaster seems to be working fine though as the picture shows.

I have recenlty purchased a few selfie sticks that are rated as being compatible. They all pair successfully with the phone's bluetooth radio. Unfortunatley the remote only functions as a zoom button rather than a shutter button. Am I missing something or are there settings that require adjustment? Alternatively, if there is a tried and tested selfie stick that forum members are aware of then please let me know. I'm in the UK.
Go to your camera settings, shooting methods, then press volume key to - change it to take picture or record video.
