[Q] Is infrared port present in the tab 7.7 P6800?

I'm searching to buy online this awesome tab because it is not available here in Europe yet.
In the specifications when it was announced the infrared port was described and shown on the pictures on the right side of the tablet.
Today I cannot see anymore this specification and I've read that it would be present only on the European version.
Is it correct? Anybody knows more bout this question?
Thanks!

The HK model I'm holding in my hands does not have IR.

My question is totally legitimate from all the pictures that still are present all over the web showing the back right side with a little dark spot.
And as you can read and see here

while here in this video unboxing from a Vietnamese guy the infrared miss!

Is just a curiosity and to do a right choose in the shopping!

For some reason Samsung removed this port. It could have something to do
with performance issues or cost, your guess is as good as mine.

The unit shown in the video above is a pre-production unit. Notice how the box and packaging is not the retail packaging? Also, the accessories included are totally different. The retail version does not include a Bluetooth earpiece, and the included earphones are white, not black.
Also, the specs listed on GSM Arena are not up-to-date, and are based on pre-production specifications.
Again, the retail production version of the 7.7 does NOT include IR. Also, even if you somehow managed to get your hands on one with IR, chances are that it will not get any software updates, and you'll be left with orphaned hardware. Even if the official firmware updates are compatible with the IR 7.7, chances are that the IR functionality will be disabled anyway, so yeah...
Honestly, I find the IR to be kinda pointless anyway. There are a lot of other ways to get your tablet to do exactly the same things as having IR on it.

Mine is from Thailand and doesn't have an IR port. Silly thing is, at the mobile expo the ones on display had IR, but the ones you buy don't..Bit annoying what Samsung do with all the different versions.

It is probably as you say: they removed this connection in the production phase and was present only in the prototype.

Am I the only one that thinks that the IR is just a useless addon?
Are you that lazy to pickup the real remote controller and instead spend hours to setup your tab to control your home entertainment devices with your tab?
If you have so many devices why not buy a Logitech remote? But just whine here missing the IR port...
And IR to transfer data is also crap..

I'm fully agree with you, but not doing like the iphone owners who say that the bluetooth transfer is old and useless!
Certainly I'm not crying for lack of irda port.....

I purchased mine from Dubai a couple of weeks ago. Only model available was 3g 16Gb, no IR.
There was a commercial Samsung booth in the mall displaying a 7.7 with IR.
The lady told me this specific model was not available for sale and did not know if this model would ever been sold.
Tried a trade but no go...

Agreed, but my LCD TV and sound system are Samsung.
Integration would be a nice gadget, although IR sounds a tad out of time.

Right! I use often the Galaxy Remote App on my Tab7 and Note but with the wifi connection under Network. It is very usefull for the internet navigation on my Samsung LCD TV!
The irda would be only a more feature...... never mind!

Yes, wifi on both TV and sound system makes this IR thing kind of useless.

It could be useful if you wanted to transfer a picture or something to another user's unit and if they only both have wifi version, not currently near wifi hotspot, and therefore cannot e-mail.

if both users have a decent samsung device they can use Kies. If they're not use, bleutooth...
As we have passed the 2000 era more than 10 years, bluetooth is pretty the standard in all devices as like a color screen.
Bluetooth, no need to aim your device to each other, faster data transfer and more stable.
But being faster it still takes "time" to beam over a high resolution picture.
If the target device only has irda (and probably a COM port) maybe it's time to dump that outdated piece of technology.

The more tech bits, the more to play around with, so I would of quite liked to of had the IR. Not for file transfer though lol. Don't think it was intended for that purpose this time around. Just for remote features.

Never mind Bluetooth, if both devices are Samsung, have you ever tried WiFi Direct? Holy $H!7!! I've used it between my GS2 and my Note, and it's ridiculously fast!
Besides, the IR blaster (assuming it's the same as on the 7 Plus) isn't capable of data transfer anyway; it's just a 1-way transmitter like on any remote control.

my opinion, to control TV, home theater, hi fi, home automation system, directly from the tablet without having to use other remotes would be a good thing.

You can already do this, and without IR as well. Have a look here.

How many of you actually use the IR sensor and Peel?

i wouldnt mind using it but since i can only turn on my tv, its basically useless. it doesnt work with my centurylink prism box. there is an update in the market but cant update it.
anyone here using peel to its fullest?

I have set it up with no problem (HDTV, Satellite DVR and Stereo Reciever) but didn't find any real use for it. Its just so much easier to use the universal remote that came with my dish. Also while it turns everything on with one click it doesn't turn everything off, have to do them all seperately.

Peel is just horrid, completely lacks a learn function or a means of importing definitions. A decent ir app that used the transmitter built into the 7+would be great. Possibly a LIRC based app - that would open many doors.

haven't use it at all... useless for me...

I use to use the Peel app before I got my 32" HDTV.
The only reason I don't use it now is because I would hate having to keep pressing input til it gets all the way down to hdmi 1.
Basically, it needs to be upgraded for the newer tvs.

Never used it...their support tells me that there is a bug with honeycomb and ir sensors. They said that the fix is ics and its up to Samsung to release it. Kind of a crumbly response if you're going to bundle a product and not support it.

I used it with a Samsung tv and lg tv no problems,
It also works with a old Sony DVD player I have,
Can't get it to work with the dreambox but this could be due to the custom firmware on the box,
Future support for sky boxes would be great...

Nope. Haven't touched it and no plans to do so.

I tried it out when I first got by SGT7+ and it worked - sort of - with my Toshiba TV and DirecTV. I haven't used it since. Actually I find it more trouble than it's worth. The IR sensor was not one of the reasons I got my Tab and didn't even come into play with my decision-making process. I could live without it quite nicely.

Never.
I think it is totally useless. Even I have couple of devices, but never use. I still can't understand why Samsung spent money to put this.

I also tried setting it up but couldn't get it to work with my setup. I am using Windows Media Center on an HTPC and all I could get it to do was turn on the TV. I like the idea behind it, but making it compatible with so many different setups is difficult. It would be interesting if Logitech bought them and integrated it with their Harmony line.

There use to be a damn good ir controlling software back in my symbian days... Psiloc ir remote i think... Used to control bunch of stuff using it...

Peel Smart Remote

Has anyone gotten the peel smart remote app working with the pvr from bell? I can't seem to get it working. My next question is, has anyone actually gotten a reply from the peel support?

No I am from India and even the Tata Sky STB does not work it is from pace and I did get a reply from Peel CC and it was that the software is only available in US currently and will launch ii in other countries shortly

The peel software seems like a nice attempt to bring a remote control to our device, but it lacks on support and devices. Not even satellite receivers are supported.
I wish Logitech would come with an Harmony-like app.

Works just fine with my sony 47" lcd, my at&t uverse dvr, and an old sanyo tube tv... the ui is kinda funky, but it works... controls the volume, channels, etc just fine...

Really? I was under the impression that they had finally started to do some work on the Canadian boxes. Their help forum seems next to dead. And a Logitech app would be great! But honestly I'll settle for a lirc port that has all the buttons for my remote. The guide's a nice feature but it's like basic functionality.

Works on my Panasonic TV (at least On/Off and Source changing)
the Denon Audio On/Off works but nothing else
and Humax isn't supportet at all!

Peel is rubbish here in the UK, it controls my Samsung D8000 by changing channel and volume and thats it. We get no tv guide and other features..

Peel works great with my gear. Dish hopper, Mitsubishi dip tv, pioneer avr. Everything works as it should.

Well it works great with my LCDs both Samsung and LG but does not detect my STB even though the manufacturer is listed I think it can be fixed by an expert as its all of about the frequencies which need to be correct anyway I think thats one sore point about the tab that all other apps are great except this one may be this was intended mainly for the US markets.
Experts is there any other app which can be used

App works great for me on samsung lcd, denon reciever, and direct tv. Stupid problem/question though. My direct tv remote works fine, but i can't find channel buttons. I can manually input the number and change channel, but just no up/down buttons, or any i can find. Im new to this thing, so I could just be missing it. Thanks.

I feel as if there's no community or customer support for this app. Their help forum gets like one post every two weeks.maybe we should all start flooding their forum, in hope that the extra attention will get them to open it up or at the last get some more codes.

Working great here as well.I have it connected to Samsung lcd n model from 2010 vizio brand new led model and it finds all channels on our Motorola dvr cable box from insight cable company.
The remote controller itself sucks does not operate all features of device. Will test it on my old panansonic DVD player soon
In my opinion it's incomplete but nice

Oh hello there! Very good post. I however do not have a Galaxy Note. I also do not have Google tv. I have a note 10.1. So using the included peel app is a "fun" option. My logitech harmony 900 is about 100x better though.
But please keep up the outstanding posts.

It's not that I bought my note for the remote functionality. But if I bring it with me when I watch tv I would like to take advantage of all it has to offer.

I also have a galaxy note 10.1! I still don't see why the heck anyone would use this device as a media remote. I am glad you liked my post, it's good to see that sarcasm is alive and well in the retirement home.

OK so your sitting on the couch surfing drawing on your note.
You wanna change channel on the TV.do you sit down the note find the tv remote.change channel put remote back(most likely under couch cushions where they hide).or click 3 times.
Home key peel remote icon. Then your favorite channel thats showing in your screen..OK then back to where you were doing.
The remote is kewl if you already have it in your hand. If your not on the tab standard remote works well.
One more thing finding something new to watch is great with peel if you have it set up right with your cable provider. It shows what's on and when as well as rather its a rerun right in your face quickly and easly. Put some effort into setting it up right you then might find use for it

Imagine this scenario you have TV, home theatre, Blu ray player, STB and what would be more convinient using one tab to do ur work and also the work of 4 different remotes or use four different remotes, the whole idea is not to replace the remote but to given an option its a value addition and considering that its a good addition the whole concept of the not is it can do almost all you daily task in one device

As long as you are in the US... Anywhere else you have a REALLY limited remote control. I can't even get the guide up to see whats on. I have to scroll through each channel. Painful considering this was a big part of the advertising and it doesn't do what was advertised outside the USA...
Brings to mind the Apple Ipad 3 being advertised here in Oz as 4g capable. That's only true in certain countries... Apple got a smack over that and had to pull the false adverts...

I have google tv also- works great. i has issues with the peel app w/o GTV. The remote app with the best options for G TV is Able remote. the Gtv remote app is very limited. I know this is not on topic....sorry.
Also i do agree with Renee that if i am playing on my note 10.1 and want to change the channel i just hit switcher-dont bother grabbing the remote-- b/c mym GTV app is always open if i have the note in my hand--, than change the channel. Also can just hit microphone and voice search for anything - or simply say play led zep and bam google music opens on the TV and plays led zep....

Samsung Smart TV hacked to run Android?

I'm tired of having my old droidx hosting the android video via hdmi to the samsung smart tv. Not sure its even possible but I figured id ask anyway as this is the perfect place to ask . Has anyone tried or has any info on getting android onto a samsung smart tv getting rid of that smart hub crap and turning the tv into a large tablet minus the touchscreen?

Would love to have the tv run android instead of that smart hub bs and not have to attach any extra hardware.

Samsung won't do it. It will stay as their own crappy Tizen OS TV.

After owning a Sony with Android TV I really wish there was an option to replace Tizen on my KU6300 & 8500, although Tizen is honestly a great OS for a basic user with the same speedy interface on their low end smart TV's as the high end it seems. I'm also surprised it's not common to replace the Fire OS on Firestick/Fire TV as that thing really is a total piece of crap. Laggy, complicated, full of useless suggestive pages that you are forced to dig through for your apps and then if your internet drops you can't even use PLEX or stream from a USB HD/Thumb Drive.

[Q] noob note 10.1 screen mirroring question

HI
I recently got a galaxy note 10.1 wifi model and wanted to mirror the screen on my lg smart tv. I understand that both these devices are capable of mirroring but they don't seem to play nice together I contacted samsung customer support and they said look for a 3rd party app that might do it.
I have been doing exactly that since but all i can seem to find are apps that allow file sharing not live mirroring of the note 10.1's screen onto the tv. I understand that samsung have some sort of dongle that might allow it to work but i would prefer not to fork out another $100 for something that seems like it should just work without it. I would prefer to simply use an app that would allow me to connect it via the wifi. Does anyone know of such an app?
Thanks

Allshare Cast dongle or hub is the only way to mirror afaik. I think some newer Samsung tv's might have Allshare built in but not sure about other brands.

Dongle:
samsung.com/se/consumer/mobil/mobil/mobiltillbehor/EAD-T10EDEGSTD?subsubtype=multimedia-and-general

Damn was hoping not to have to buy one of those. I thought with Alshare, dlna and WiFi direct a least one option would just do it. The tv has all those options except allshare it has LG smartshare I believe instead.
Is the Samsung dongle the only one that will work Belkin and HTC make one as well don't they?

I got samsung smart tv with all share cast too, and looking same as you for a way to mirror my screen to it through wifi... its not possible only images and video no screen mirror.
So I guess the the dongle is a must....

Unfortunately Sammy TVs right now do have ONLY AllShare PLAY not AllShare CAST !
Hope AllShare CAST will be added with the Smart Evolution Kit for Sammy TV by March 2013 though.
Right now no mirroring w/o Dongle ..........

One more question about screen mirroring and the need for allshare cast dongle. What exactly does the dongle do that can, t be done with an app? As I understand it with what little knowledge I have is that allshare is based on miracast and so is the dongle, LG's smartshare is based on the same they just both have their own skins overlaid onto miscast technology so you have to go out and spend more money on their hardware to make everything work? What I am wondering is why can't a general app be made that just does the screen mirroring o onto tv's if Both devices are miracast capable, dlna capable and wifidirect capable surely one of these options should allow screen mirroring on a tv without the need for a dongle That costs another $100 or so to purchase on top of the tablet just to get this function. I hope this all makes sense, if someone could explain all this so the dummies like me could understand it that would be awesome. Oh and there seems to be many options for screen mirroring with your pc why is this different?
Thanks

The only way i know of, if you have a capable android phone that you already have hdmi connection to tv, is to use mirrorop sender/reciver app, two apps, one on the note one on the phone, allows you to mirror one android to another vice versa. Ive not managed to get a working mhl/hdmi for my s3, so i dont know if there is a limitation to then hook up the phone via hdmi to tv, wouldnt mind a confirmation on that one my self
Pro
Ive mirrored my note to my s3, anything static it does ok, pics, browsr, pdf, slow/static games
5 minute trial, restart app to reset
Cons
Doesnt transmit sound [i guess the dongle trumps that]
Fast paced games have lag, specifically game controls
Picture quality options at the sake of speed
5 minute trial, restart app to reset

Yeah I looked into Mirrorop but seen as I only want to mirror my galaxy note 10.1 onto a tv it's of no use to me. Funny thing is, is that the LG smart tv I have used to come with a mirror op receiver app p re installed but for some reason it was removed from the model in all countries except China. Sounds like money grabbing on LG's part if you ask me.

One suggestion if you decide to grab the Sammy dongle: register your note on the Samsung web page and you'll get a $50 coupon for the Samsung store. That's how I got mine. Cutting the price in half makes it a little easier to swallow and it does work well certainly glad I got mine.

That sounds alright just one thing is that valid for Australian customers? Also does anyone no which Aussie stores stock them? I went onto Samsung's au website and it seems to be greyed out so I don't no were they are stocked .
online I guess any one know who has the best price?

I've a further related noob question. I have owned my Note 10.1 for 4 days now and have found it great, but I would love to be able to mirror it's display. I actually want to project it (I'm a teacher), but have found a workaround with an iPad where I mirror the iPad to my laptop and display the laptop as normal. Is anything like this possible with the Note?

Hi, I am a teacher as well and am using the Note 10.1 in my classrooms.
I use the Allshare Cast dongle, connected to a HDMI-VGA converter, to the projector. Don't use the converters that don't have a separate power supply; the display will cut in and out because the dongle cannot supply enough current.
Alternatively, you can try using the Netgear push2tv device. The recent beta update enables compatibility with Allshare devices.
If you have rooted your Note 10.1, you need to triangle away to clear the flash counter.

Thanks for your reply. Do you happen to know if there are more than model of Allshare Cast? Prices seem very variable - Amazon go from £30 to £107! I haven't rooted my Note - I'm not really sure what the benefit is - although I seem to have read that it may allow me to access my email through the school proxy, which I can't do at the moment. Can you recommend a HDMI-VGA converter that works?

Do you guys get sound when you conect using the mirror cast not using the dongle I get picture and no sound

I bought new Samsung TV series 6, and it have bulid in Screen Mirroring but in menu options on my Note 10'1 from 2012 i dont have this options.
There is some one hack or addons to my tablet to get this options?
