Hey all.
Not sure if anyone has noticed, but it (AFAIK) hasn't been mentioned, but there is an app on Samsung Apps that acts as a remote for a Samsung TV. I haven't tested it because I don't have a Samsung TV, but some people might find it useful.
for me, its at the bottom of the app list and not at the top like new releases usually are.
Enjoy

I saw that, but my Sammy isn't a 9 series
Can't find it in samsung apps :/ Only have two apps there.
Been using the remote app on my galaxy s a couple of weeks now, loving it!
I don't have it on my Tab, and I have a 50" Samsung plasma TV. So can someone please post the APK so we can install and try it?
Download it from the Samsung Apps. It work well with my 6740 TV.

How have you got it working on a Series 6 TV?
According to the instructions the App will only work on TV's having [email protected] and published after 2010.
This app is avaible on Samsung app French

Now I'm really confused..... The Series 6 was released in 2008 which is nowhere near the 2010 date Samsung are saying.
EDITED:
I have checked my Series 8 TV and although I have [email protected] it does not list a Wireless Option which for the Remote is mandatory.
My TV is connected via LAN to my Router/Modem.
Are you saying you have a Wireless Dongle attached at the back of the TV?
They've also added a Samsung Easyprint for wireless printing from the Tab via wifi (I believe)
Should be another useful tool for people with Samsung printers.

I have the same TV and setup. To turn on the Wireless Remote option on your TV Menu>Plug N Play>Wireless Remote Control.
That being said, the remote app does not work for me on my UN55C8000. I'm guessing because Samsung wants us to buy their optional wifi remote instead.
Also, the app is available in the Android Market. There are actually 2 versions, one for mobile phones and one specific for the Tab.
Seems to be available in the regular market now.
It's work for my UN46C7000. I don't see why it's don't work on the C8000! Once I shoot up the App, I can see my TV listed.
It's control via WIFI, too bad it'll not control the vol. of my Samsung Sound bar. I think i'll stick with my Harmony One.
Ok, finally got this app working on my C8000. Turns out it was a problem with my home network setup. I use Slinglink to get wired ethernet to my TV components. Slinglink is an ethernet over powerline solution. I grabbed an extra long cat5 cable and connected the TV directly to the router and everything now works. Odd thing is, all the other network and internet functions worked fine over the Slinglink. Im guessing Slinglink creates some sort of network bridge that prevents the two devices from seeing each other.

Is the HTC Hero (rooted 2.2) Compatible?
Hi,
Does anyone know why the market is telling me that my HTC Hero running 2.2 is not supported?
I have a Samsung UE40C6700 TV and would love to get my hands on this app.
Thanks
Thanks

Idk if this is the wrong section or not but yeah..
I wanted to know if I could plug my playstation 2 in to any Android device and use it as a TV monitor. Thanks a lot.
Hello all,
I have seen similar questions around here, but not for this phone yet.
We own a Samsung ue32C6730 LED TV. I myself have a Desire HD. I am wondering if there is any possibility to use my phone as a remote control for this TV.
Hope anyone can help me out
The TV uses infrared for remotes the desireHD doesn't have an infrared port.
I meant remote control through our home network. The TV is connected to our router and my phone has Wifi.
This first app should work for your Desire HD (if you have the right TV set):

This second one only works on some samsung smartphones, I'm trying to get it to work on my HTC Desire (original):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.samsung.smartview&feature=search_result
If anyone knows how to get this second app to work, please let me know,
Grtz
Hi!
I heard there is Android Phones with integrated Ubuntu Desktop. They have like a docking station with HDMI and USB support. Is this working good? What Phones do support this? What do you recommend?
Thanks!

No phones currently support it (infact Ubuntu for Android has never been released in any form), some motorola devices do have 'webtop' which is basicly a stripped down linux install with firefox running.
But you may be interested in my project (See sig) which allows you to install and run a range of linux distros on pertty much any rooted android device

Is it possible to install the shield os onto the pixel c tablet. Im talking about about either the Shield TV OS or Shield Tablet OS. I used to have a shield TV and bought some games on it and i want to be able to play them again and the Pixel C has the same processor as the shield TV

Greetings and welcome to assist. Installing the shield OS on the pixel tablet will probably brick your device. If they have the same processor then it should be possible to port it but this still requires a lot of work and modifications

Then why isn't anyone working on it? It would be like having a mobile version of the shield TV.

People do this for a hobby and choose to share things on xda. Xda isn't a place to come and request things, less popular devices tend to attract less developer support plus there may be issues like locked bootloaders or no custom recovery.
If you want to try yourself there are some excellent guides in xda university
