I've got two of two of these from two vendors. Both of them have mics. Everything works out of the box but the voice search. Anybody here with the same issue? Solution? Thank you.
FYI- Most of those t-3's and mx3's do not have the mic I would test it on another system .
I have bought about a dozen plus from ebay trying to find ones with mics that worked.. It was a no go.

I use one of these same remotes (possibly different vendor, lot of different versions on Amazon) with my Shield TV and am able to use the voice input and searching. Out of the box it was also not working as others described, but then I installed MKR (can be installed from the web version of the play store directly to the Shield. See link below) to map the keys on the remote and was able to get it to function perfectly. Can use the voice search just like the standalone Shield remote and gamepad. Plus you can configure every other button as well. Example, I have the Red button open Netflix, yellow button launches Plex, Green button Hulu, ect.. Remote is pretty damn awesome with the shield after mapping the buttons how I wanted. Give it a shot.
**I was unable to post the direct link, but just search for "Multilanguage Keymap Redefiner" on the Play Store.

Thanks for your reply.Voice on the remote is not a function that is assigned to a button. I'll give it a try but it is possible that your remote is more capable than mine.

Ok so I downloaded the app you have mentioned and when I go to assign the function for the "mic" key which one should I pic? (there are "gamepad", "keyboard", "Phone", "Media/TV", "Others") under which is the actual mic action?
Thanks

On my version of the remote when you are prompted for voice input i have to hold down the mic button while i talk. For example if im on youtube and i go to the search section it will prompt me to say somthing then i hold down the mic button talk and then release the button.

Can you reprogram all the buttons to suit... with the new shield remote ir blaster...?
Any further tips on setting this up would be Great mate.

Not to sure about the shield ir as i have the 1st gen. I have programmed the IR for my tv and sound bar.
I also recommend to remap buttons in android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
Alot of buttons on the remote are pointless and i never use so i have remapped them to quick launch apps red=youtube yellow=iplayer green=all4 blue=terrarium/kodi and i have also remapped the search button to bring up google assistant. You can also remap as long press our double tap. Thats what i did for the blue button press=terrarium long press=kodi.

i can guarantee that this control does not operate search by voice on the shield
what happens a lot of times is that staff speaks and the voice is captured by the shield's original controllers
there is no voice control t3 and yes the original control that is capting your voice
if you remove all original commands in shield settings you will see that the t3 voice command does not work

I have been reading some of the reviews on amazon about some of these mini keyboards, and I'm still adjusting to the onscreen keyboard as I came from the D2 then the TP2 before that, so I would like to know what ones are compatible with android? Does anyone have one? Most people in the reviews say that they can't get them to work with android, so I don't want to waste 20-30-40 bucks just to find out its not compatible with our devices. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Curious about this too, if don't remember seeing anything about bluetooth keyboards working without some hacking.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I guess you and I must be the only ones who care about this.
No...I very much care about this, too. I just tried to pair my Thunderbolt with my Apple wireless keyboard and it did pair. Now, however, it says "paired and not connected" but when I click on the keyboard name it does not do anything. When I press and hold the keyboard name, my only option is to unpair. Not sure how to proceed...
Reading a lot of the reviews on amazon it seems to be a running theme that not all of the BT keyboards are compatible with android. Now, whether that is true or not, I don't know. I was hoping to find someone who has one and can provide some insight. Supposedly, according to the reviews, there are two different protocols for BT and only one(spp, if that makes sense?) works with android. That's the best info I have gathered, but this is strictly based off of reviewers, so I don't actually know anything. So I thought I would bring my question/problem to the smartest community on earth.
I will play around again with my Apple keyboard tonight and see if I can figure this out for you. And for me!
I'm interested as well. Like you, I haven't been able to find any hard info either, and don't want to waste money...
hello, I've been interested in this for a while now…*
here's the BT keyboard i'm considering:
Spider E-BTKB-B001 Black Bluetooth Wireless Ultra Slim Keyboard - seen on newegg ~ $40
although today I tried this app:
market.android.com - Remote Web Desktop
its wifi keyboard feature gets your foot in the door with real keyboard text entry…*haven't tested this for my use case - notes in audible bookmarks - but i look forward to the future development of this Remote Web Desktop application
oops, i can't include links yet
So, if I understood your post correctly, you have already received this and it does work correctly? Can you post some pics to show how big it is compared to the phone? Thanks for the post.

This one on amazon looks like it works... from the reviews anyway

I can confirm that my buddy's apple bt keyboard works with my TB, but my dell bt keyboard does not.
Can you provide the keyboard model that worked?
I have a no name mini bt keyboard that pairs but will not connect with my unrooted thunderbolt..
The one I have is an unbranded keyboard
Mini Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard for iPad/iPhone 4.0 OS/Android/Window Mobile/Symbian Smartphone
It will pair but not connect.

Intrigued, I would really like to know also. Is that the one for the Xoom?
I've got one of those no-name (actually a company called magic-pro) bluetooth keyboards, and I've tried every app/driver out there that I've been able to find to get the danged thing to work. So far the most useful thing on it is the laserpointer, it's a great cat toy. The bluetooth dongle does work pain-free with a Windows 7 machine, but that's not why I got the thing. Going to keep on trying new revisions, hopefully I'll hit something eventually that doesn't require rooting.
I use Wifi Keyboard occassionally which works great, cheaper then buying a BT.

Hahaha! You made my day OneStepAhead! I'm using it right now to text family without having to type on my phone. This is really really cool. I was not going to buy a $100 keyboard, so this is perfect.
Which one did you buy?
My brother has a unlocked R800at and I have been trying to find an app that will let him map touchscreen presses to the physical buttons. I know that sixaxis controller has this feature, but it is only for external controllers. Is there something that will enable you to play any game by mapping the touchscreen buttons to the controller?
GameKeyboard is capable of doing so, but I never tinkered with it enough to figure out exactly how. It its a paid app, so you might want to look at some guides.

Hey guys!!!
One big reason for me to choose ZL over Z was the IR remote sensor.. and frankly its really cool to have an IR on your phone. It is working well with my TVs and I am able to configure it with ease. But, it doesn't work with my STBs (which accounts for the max remote usage ) I have two Airtel DTH STB's (HouseCast &Hauwei) and both are not responding to my phone. I tried doing the manual setup (as they arent listed in the auto setup), but it doesn't work. Can anyone guide as to what could be the problem?
i have figured out that there is some problem with the learning function of the app as even the devices which work under auto setup does not learn if you try entering them under manual setup.. anyone can help me with this? has anyone tries making things work under manual setup??
i have a tata sky stb digihome box ..same issue .. doesnt learn

Learning worked for my device. you have to put the remote control a few centimeters below the power-button of your phone and press and hold the desired key.

Mine works good for TataSky STB. Just select SKY as the manufacturer of STB while setting it up for new device, and select type 2 (out of various pre-configured layouts). Hope it works for u too!
it learns the buttons but when i click test remote it either fails or force closes putting the entire effort of pressing each button useless .. i saved again without testing button did not respond

It's a known issue. Popped up in the Sony support forum, but there's also no solution.

So, there is an update on Sony Support Forum:
This has been investigated and in case you have this problem the phone needs to be repaired or replaced by a service location.
Please contact a service location or local Sony Xperia support ( sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/ ) for assistance.

Anyone able to get the "learn signal" to work?
I've tried 2 remotes to learn volume +-. It works initially.. it says "signal learned" but then the button never works.
I tried to make my phone simply learn the one and off for my A/c but after many attempts the ZL did not learn the single command.
Hope sony fixes this soon.
I'm bumping this a bit because this problem is apparently annoying multiple Xperia ZL users. The related thread at the Sony support forum unfortunately is marked as solved, although no proof of a solution has been spotted yet.
As Sony's local Service Centers seem to be unaware of the functionality, let alone have a fix for the problem, I am trying to escalate this issue to Sony, in the hopes of a proper fix.
In this light, I would like to request anyone having issues with IR not learning signals properly to post in that thread and help make Sony aware of this problem. With strength in numbers, we'll get this fixed.

can i add AC in this app??? also why doesnt it works with other remote apps which are over the playstore
I like the remote app, but I can't figure out how to use the guide on my directv menu. The blue button does a mini menu, but nothing else seems to pull it up. My dad's samsung s4 has an actual button that says "guide" on it and it works fine....WTH LG?...this is basic functionality stuff here. That just seems retarded that they wouldn't have included a way to view the channel guide. Am I just missing something?
I did find a directv app, that looks like it might work....but that amounts to having several remotes in the livingroom....irritating. ....just tried it and it does work, but it only controls the directv box...no volume...no input selector....no dvd.
Anyone have a solution or a better app that will work on all my devices? DVD, Directv box and Samsung TV?
I had the Samsung version of the TouchSquid app on my S4 and it was very feature rich, although kind of expensive! I'm not sure if the "guide" will work, but it has a 30 day money back guarantee. Here is the link for "other" android devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.home.squid&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJlbW90ZS5ob21lLnNxdWlkIl0.

I had to select "menu" then "menu" again on the following screen. It put me into my U-Verse STB menu where I could select "guide" on my TV with the navigation keys.
I know it's AT&T and not DirectTV, but who knows. Might work for you or others.

I own two different TCL TVs: 43EP660 and 32ES560. Both are running AndroidTV.
Is there ANY way to remove the pointless & annoying guide menu picture of the remote control when trying to use HDMI-CEC? See attached photo or one on Google Drive:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D7z2-BqBANDftqSG_tnUNfpxpmA65ZN6/view?usp=sharing
Guide menu is needed to use full HDMI-CEC to allow control of an external device (Raspberry Pi 4 with Kodi in my case) via HDMI cable using TCL remote.
Guide menu is accessed via being on an HDMI input > Menu (3 horiz lines) > T-Link > Guide menu
Unfortunately as you can see in the photo, there is a constant and as far as I can tell, non-removable picture of a stupid remote blocking an eight of the screen... The issue has been bugging people since 2014 it seems.
I tried contacting TCL EU but their support form leads to error 404... TCL US still haven't replied.
I have this exact same problem, it's mind boggling that I can't find a way to hie this. If anyone has any idea I would greatly appreciate it.

Can you please email TCL support?
If enough people bug them they might release an update with hide "On screen Guide Menu Remote" toggle. Or at least an opacity slider to allow you to drop from current ~80% down to 0%.
I received a reply from TCL_USA saying that they forwarded my email to appropriate team. Let's see if they get back to me.
Thank you for your email. We will forward your information to the appropriate team. They will review it, and someone will reach out to you regarding your concern.
Should you have further concerns regarding TCL TVs, please do not hesitate to contact us again. We will be more than happy to assist you.
Thank you for choosing TCL!

Hi,
Which email did you contact (I'd like to contact the same one) ?
This picture on screen is really stupid and useless ...
Do you have a RC602S remote ?
I rode somewhere that the keyboard key of this remote can hide this picture.
... and when i use the customer form on the french web site ... all i have is a 404 error !

I have RC802V which is very similar. You can't hide the guide menu with it.
You have an option to display a different remote (with keyboard button) on-screen, but then, the arrows on the remote are used to select different buttons on the on-screen remote...And this on-screen remote doesn't have arrow keys...

Hello
i got a TCL 43P615 and im having exactly the same issue. Did anyone found a solution for this?
did anyone know if accessing to the secret menu and put the hdmi cec always ON can help with this?
Im thinking about buying a USB IR to have the option to use the tv remote control but its stupid since i got a new TV and the HDMI CEC is not working properly
