It doesn't have an IR blaster... but it does have an IR LED that is used for the Retinal Unlocking. I wonder if someone will be able to write an app that uses that as an IR blaster. Since it is front facing, it might be a challenge to use the screen and blaster towards a device, but its better than nothing.
Why would it be removed? Makes zero sense! !!

Percentage of people that use it against cost. It wasn't in the 5 either. Even if it only costs them 5 bucks to add it, 5 dollars times 1 million units (they'll sell more but for easy math) is 5 mil $$. Since usage is likely around 1% of users, they'd rather keep those funds for other features, R&D, or just profit.

IR Blaster is the biggest none argument ever.
Does your TV, DVD etc not come with a remote? If so use that...
What a dumb argument this is....

I"m doing exactly that with the locking of the bootloader for US builds in combo with this I"m done with samsung and I'm not the only one as I've heard others as well....that is an Apple move if you don't like move on.....I'm on android for a reason
wow so much passion over a little issue. buy a htc phone which can also learn ir signals, or another phone that does have IR if you cant live without it... id pay $10 extra for the IR blaster edition but im not to going to stress over it
there are devices to plug into the audio jack and can send IR signals, most are crap but im sure one of them will work with most appliances... why dont you guys direct your efforts in that direction and then share your findings instead of making posts on every new phone that comes out.... just a suggestion.
here's a head start.

I have a Harmony Smart Control remote. Nice thing about that is it can work with its included RF remote or any iOS/Android device.
Works way better than any IR Blaster I had built into a phone (for one, it was RF & WiFi - the base station sends all the IR commands). Pointing a phone at the TV to control volume is so outdated.

....you ask a smart ass question i give you a smart ass answer why the **** not?
It's amusing when people cling to the past. The past two product cycles there were huge arguments over the absence of FM radio. Granted there were valid points (EG: emergencies where cell lines are down, free music without data use) but at the end of the day FM radio on cell phones is dying.
IR is going the way of the Dodo too being replaced at a minimum by RF but more prevalently by BT and Wi-Fi. Seriously, as wireless tech has advanced what value does a line-of-site protocol still hold? The remote app I use on my phone to control my Galaxy View is BT. My TiVo Bolt's remote is RF and the app on my phone and tablets controls it by Wi-Fi. My thermostat is controlled by Wi-Fi. Amazon's Echo and other IoT devices use Wi-Fi. Sorry IR fans, your technology is dying. If you must have it then Samsung's phones aren't for you. Complaining about it isn't going to bring it back.
The point many are missing... Replaceable battery gone.. "don't cling to the past" (lol dumbest argument EVER... its like 2nd child is born without a nose.. and you expect 3rd..."nose...a thing of the past.. dont cling to the past).. so lol again. Moving on... Sd card gone... "don't cling to the past"...thank god people do still have a brain (and we got SD back)... now IR gone... again" don't cling to the past"... lol... do you notice a pattern here?
In this case I'll await the day phone function is gone and I'll be right there with.. "don't cling to the past"... lol
The point why the freck are we paying more and more money while functions are less and less.
You know what the bottom line is... for 5$ per unit they saved... they lost 900$ from me... and from others can they lose clients enough to make them lose overall... yes... if not this year... in the near future with next 5 features dropped.

Does anyone know of any radar detection program for windows mobile 6 ?
I'm talking of the radar that traffic department use to detect you speed on the road. I know gadgets exist that detect the devices and give you early warning. iv'e heard the nokia phones have such a program, does anyone know if one exists for windows mobile phones ?

Tomtom only warns you about the permanent cameras, it does not detect radar, laser or "instant on" radar signals!!!
Yes i am talking about the live instant radar devices. the guy standing on the side of the road with the radar cam.
NOT the permenent camara's.
I need the phone to beep and warn me when a radar device is in close proximity.
Oh God... you can't be serious...
Re the nokia phone, check here:
http://www.warp2search.net/contentt...ia_mobile_phone_as_a_police_radar_detect.html
It's been proven and proven again - it doesn't work... The only part of your phone I could see somebody trying to say would work is the IR receiver, but IR and RADAR are two ENTIRELY different things. And even if your phone could detect RADAR or Laser (which, again, none can) - you'd have to place the phone somewhere on your windshield to make it useful - and given the Hermes configuration, you'd have to have your phone horizontal... Even if it did work, I'd not want the thing sitting all goofy in my windshield.
With all due respect this is one of the goofier requests I've ever seen on here.
In other words - buy a radar detector... A half-way decent one can be had for under $60

I had no idea, that this joke from early GSM will resurface again in PDAs. The only other popular GSM lamer-tester I know about was Polish invention of "marupy zwrotne" ~ "return/confirmation marupas" (yes, it makes no sense in Polish neither, but sounds... dumb and probable at the same time).
Do you know of any other gossip/fake GSM/PDA services that were used to joke of not-so-bright users?
Sorry, i think, that if you want to use the Hermes as radar detector, you can use it as microwave oven. The WiFi module works on 2,4 GHz like the oven too.

Just the whole horror story about cell phone towers in residential places has no scientific basis at all. The same people scaremongering about this stuff are probably responsible for this one:
In scotland a plan to build a wind farm, 10 or so wind turbines, was refused due to concerns by the local community about the risk of radiation!?!?!?! WTF!!!!!
Besides the mobile phone<->tumor thing has been disproven many times by (independant) scientific study, the public always go along with these STUPID rumours.
Of course it's stupid as hell. Why those people still use TV sets (after all CRT and plasmas are quite effective x-rays lamps), electric engine-based household devices (this is really powerful electromagnetic source) and microwave ovens (that in fact are causing problems with WLAN and some cell phone devices). And what about those electric cables in the walls? Slightly exaggerating those are giant antennas emitting 50/60Hz waves at very high power.
So if you (the reader, not mrvanx of course) are anti-cell phone tower activist, start with canceling you contract with company that delivers power to your house. Then we can continue talking.

Remember the email that said you could unlock any car that used a remote keyless system?
http://www.snopes.com/autos/techno/keyless.asp
the original point
regarding the RADAR guns that law enforcments use...
(i know about this i have 11 points on my license (3 have already come off once) and done the speed aware ness corse)
i do beleive they use a few different devices and on different frequancies, the devices you have in your car dont always detect the RADAR and they also change progressivly so you would need to keep buying the latests detectors... not to mention if you are speeding and your detector (even your phone is you got it to work (not likely)) picks up a signal and warns you... its already hit you the gun already knows how fast your traveling and its all too late!!
there are devices that emit a scramble frequancy and the copper will just get ERR on the gun but again they change the frequancy or method (lasers or RADAR) and your still boned and in UK if your caught with one of them you can then be prosicuted for preventing the corse of justice...
all in all its not worth it... the Tom Toms and the likes have notifacations for fixed cameras and 'black spots' were there is offten coppers park (this doesnt mean they wont change spots and they might never be there as you drive past but thought it was worth a mention)
If you want to find radars open your nostrils... They usualy smell like onions...
Cheers and good luck.

Yeah, for now it's pretty useless in the U.S. Other countries are using it though, we have just fallen behind as far as NFC goes.
NFC doesn't seem to work with CM7 on my phone, it just straight doesn't turn on. I haven't seen it in the list of "not working" stuff in the threads, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it yet, so I'm not too worried
I use it, I bought my own programmable tags from tagsfordroid.com , I have one stuck in my car mount so as soon as I put it in the car mount, it goes to driving mode , turns wifi off and bluetooth on ...
I made another so as soon as I get home it is right next to my desk, so it turns wifi on connects , turns bluetooth off .
Yeah these are mundane uses but until we get google wallet or something like it, real world uses are slim to none ...

I've been playing with it also with simple routine stuff like this. As soon as I get more tags i'm going to make some for checkins at my favorite hangouts... etc. But to date the most useful tasks I use NFC are checking the balance on my Clipper Card and Door entry access.
I've been trying the ports of CM7 but as soon as I've checked it out I bounce back to a backup because it won't work under CM7 and I need that door entry access.

There's also some great demos showing what it can be used for on this Google I/O talk.

Worst part is iphone users will act like apple pioneered and invented NFC.
I disagree. I think you will see a lot of the users of older iPhones will upgrade and if NFC is incorporated into the phone those pesky Apple Fanboys you love to deride will be advocates for the cause. The monolithic platform will work in it's favor unlike Android phones that have NFC built in and functional but crippled because the platform is fragmented by the carriers. All those users coming online at once will be what gets us to critical mass... but I doubt they will claim it as an apple discovery.

Not ubiquitous because people like you keep saying it isn't. Buy it, try it out...you may find something interesting that will intrigue another to do the same. My local mall uses NFC to give out free songs or magazine articles. What's a couple of bucks gonna hurt? You already bought a $300+ phone...might as well use its features.
You don't have to use the Samsung TecTiles...you can buy any of them, and download an NFC programmable app.

believe me, I wish I could think of uses for them that would do something I thought was functional, because gawdamn, the idea is cool. and I do love anything new tech-wise. i'm always an early adopter.
(and I bought the phone outright. $700 bucks w/ tax. worth every damn penny.)
so far, the only implementation I am seeing make NFC worthwhile is sBeam/filesharing, and google wallet (if it worked right now).
I will be keeping a watch on the tech, and I tend to make frivolous purchases (like the AllShare TV dongle), and perhaps I'll keep an eye on you, see if you come up with anything that sparks some ideas.
Anything useful for my personal routine (turning off ringer at work etc.) I have set up in tasker. For little stuff like opening you tube while on toilet, (lol) it just doesnt seem more convienent to tap phone to a tag than to click the app on my homescreen.

Jelly Bomb has nfc with the screen off built in. I tried pulling the Nfc.apk from the 10.20 build and putting it on my own deodexed LJC rom but it didn't allow nfc with the screen off.
One thing that I thought would be useful is if I could set it up as a proximity sensor. Ex: when I put the phone in my car dock it turns on blue tooth and when I take it out it turns it off without having to touch another tag?

yes, just set it up to Toggle the bluetooth - that way if it's on it will turn off and visa versa.
I have similar setups and it works like a charm.
and the tiles will work with Every phone that has NFC, so even when you get a future phone, the tiles will continue to work. I think they are the bees knees.
they become more useful once you mod the phone to work with nfc screen off (someone posted a mod but it only works from lockscreen not screen off hopefully that will be fixed soon)
I have one each on my washer and dryer. they set a "timer" that goes off and tells me when the washer and dryer are done (30 minutes for washer 70minutes for dryer)
I have one on my car to auto set my car locator position one the dev for car locator gets that working right.
I also plan to use them for geo caching. I hope geocaching.com integrates NFC functionality into their service soon is VERY ideal for that.
I also plan to use them on "bins" in storage. I store what is in the bin in the tag. tap and now I know whats inside (working on that soon)
you can use QR codes but they are a pain (have to load an app) and then wait for camera to focus AND they don't like low light. NFC don't care tap done.
also plan to put on on my Radio Transmitter for my competition rocket gliders. tap and 15minute countdown timer starts.
I am just curious if any one think there is any chance it will have the feature that the moto x does with the always on mic.

I dont think this feature would be nearly as useful as on a mobile phone.
I think the mic is always on because of Google Now and the ability to do voice commands at will.
Honestly I can see the benefits but if you are too lazy to pretty a button then its pretty sad. I'd rather see a dedicated voice button then always on mic. Not only for security but also because if it is always on, then it is always processing. Seems like a waste of resources 99% of the time.
Just grab a Bluetooth headset and press the button on the unit, and it will ask for a command. At least mine does.
Plus what's next? Always on video? A Google employee moving into my house? Cats and dogs, living together?

That has to be the stupidest thing i have heard someone say.
Does your TV have a remote. What are you lazy to walk to your TV?
Its an evolution of technology. Why should i have to touch it when i could NOT touch it.
I am not huge on voice controls because if i am already touching my device i would rather just do it with my finger.
If i don't have to even look at my phone to send a message or skip a song then why would I.

ROFL
Even Star Trek's communicators on their shirts have to be pressed. And Star Trek knows the future better then we do. Nuff said.
Btw I'm only half serious.
Something like Google Glass, I understand IF it was paired to YOUR VOICE. But a phone...? It doesn't need to be listening every second just to grab 1 or 2 commands. Have you ever tried using Google Now in a noisy environment. I can only see my phone grabbing all sorts of random commands and doing random acts. Pass on that.
Even Google Glass reviews show it picking up commands from others and screwing things up.

Looks like all the new droids released today got the feature so. Obviously I am not the only one that thinks it's a required step for voice commands. Also in star trek while the touched their communicators didn't they just talk to the computers?

I was under the impression the always on mic was powered by different hardware specs ie: the super low voltage battery when sleeping and a low power mic. Seems like this will be hard to implement for many devices without these hardware features.
I think always on mic is a moto thing, dealing with their custom made snapdragon aka "motorola x8 computing system", has a whole core dedicated to it, and another dedicated to gestures. I think current devices could do it fine, but battery life would suffer without motorolas software and hardware tweaks.
Of course I don't really know, that's just my guess. Guess we'll all find out next week

I have my new Nexus 7 in hand. I am pretty sure that is a moto only feature but i bet we see all the big players picking it up in the future.
The always on MIC is monitored by a dedicated low power core on the Moto X. N7 doesn't have that chip.
Is it possible to program the IRIS SCANNER's IR LED/RECEIVER to be an IR Blaster?
Thank you!
Word out there is no. They might be utilising different technology. Not really sure how those work.

This is going to be the thread topic that appears most often, isn't it?
Bottom line, why would you want an IR blaster on the front of the device (which would make the screen face away from you when pointing it at your devices)

Haha it sure would look funny, but personally, if someone did manage to leverage the IRIS IR as a Remote IR, then I don't mind the funny angle of using it as a remote AT ALL! I am in the small minority (it seems) who thoroughly use the IR blaster on my Note 4 and LG V10, so I sorely miss that feature! Honestly, I'd have that over the IRIS scanner, but that's just me !
Used to be that if you were a Note owner, there were no sacrifices. Note 4 was the Swiss Army Knife of sensors LOL! IR Blast, Heart rate sensor, SD Card, man... those were the days! Sigh... LOL!
You're not the only one. I do regret IR going away. It seems all good things are gone

Simple..just stick a small mirror on your forehead and align it so the IR signal can reflect off of your skull and into the desired receiver, all whilst not having to look away from your screen. Genius, can't wait for Samsung to patent a mirrored headband!

I'm hanging onto my Note 4 for awhile. I'm older, and getting up and down some days can be an issue for me, the IR Blaster is a lifesaver since it can turn on my air conditioner, my lights and even a fan I have, and my phone is always with me. I'm probably a tiny minority, though, since most other phones are ditching the IR Blaster as well. When my knees are killing me I wouldn't care how funny it looked to be able to turn something on!!

Amen to that Sir! Note 4 IR and the V10, on both phones IR is my most used feature outside of regular phone functions!
shhhh... people with "learn to let go" will get all mad if they see that people using IR are... many... and they regret losing it

If you can't live without IR feature get a $ 30.00 Broadlink RM PRO and you are done.
It even supports RF so that you can open your automated gate i.e.

Was really hoping to ditch the Note 4 for the Note7 but no IR blaster and an unswappable battery just kills it for me (despite how sweet of a phone it is). I'm afraid if my note 4 ever does die than I am going to have to start to look at other manufactures for the first time since I started carrying a smartphone. I really wanted to like this phone....

I tried installing a remote control app to see if the iris infered would work. Sad to report that it doesn't work. Gives a message saying the device does not support IR Blaster.
I'll be keeping my Note 4 for around the house use. But the Note 7 will be my daily device.

You didn't really think that Samsung would go back to swappable batteries, did you? I was hoping for a 4000 mAh but my hopes got dashed again. That's why I didn't go for the 5, but the Note 4 needs to be upgraded. I've read that this battery is a Li-po instead of Lithium Ion. That's supposed to make a difference but I haven't checked up on it yet. I've been watching the reviews to see how the phone performs in battery tests, memory management etc...then I'll order but I haven't seen anything yet.

They'd be dumb if their sales were way down because of that decision. Since they're still doing phenomenal in sales, I'd say they're not dumb. They're saving money on a feature that 9/10 people don't care about or use.

I think its more than just 1/10 ?. 2nd you cannot correlate sales with disappearance of IR. Most people are at the end of their 2 years plan, they need an upgrade... as Samsung is the absolute only option of a phone... they wil buy it anyways with or without IR. That doesn't mean that Samsung didn't fkup big time.
