Smart remote with Amstrad sky box - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone managed to use smart remote app with a sky box? There doesn't seem to be an option to select it?

Bump. No body? Or at least some alternative software.

The stock app doesn't support sky BOX's.Ive emailed the developer but they haven't bothered to reply.
Ive tried touch squid from the app Store the demo wm only allow you to turn devices on and off, the full price program is about £13!
Ive tried the demo and it turns the SKY box on and off ok but Im not sure if I want to risk buying the app & not all functions work

Tried the demo app on my grundig sky box, didnt work, although power toggle test did work on my xbox, would be nice to have an app to control ALL my ir devices, would be even better if it was a floating app too

I saw that touch squid. There is another version call touch squid pro for Samsung, but it's £30! Way too expensive

Photoshop Touch

Any know how to update the Photoshop Touch app that came preinstalled?
The play store shows there was an update on Sept 5th but I have no option to update because it is not showing as installed and $9.99 to buy.
I checked the Samsung app store thinking maybe i had to update there, like i have to do specifically for all the faotd from Amazon, but the PST app isnt even listed in Samsung market.
Confused.....

Same thing I've been questioning there is a lot of programs that came installed and nor in Google market or Samsung market gets

The app is customised for the GN 10.1 so most likely Samsung would need to push it out via Google Play like with their other apps. Best to pose the question with Samsung.
not so much that it's customized for the gn10.1 but that it's licensed to only be used by your gn10.1.
if it were available through any market i'm pretty sure they'd be violating some kind of license they have with adobe as you'll then be able to install it on any device linked to the account.
It gets updated when updates come for the Note itself. And update to JB will surely update it as well.

Just make sure you put the pen against or close to the screen before you rest your palm against it and you should be fine.

Hi,
Photoshop is amazing for photos, coloring etc., but in my experience it's not good for drawing.
Try Scketchbook pro, layerpaint (palm rejection can be configured and it's very good), tv paint (beta) etc.
You can draw and color at one of those then add effects in photoshop.

Wired Magazine for Android Tablets

I recently pulled the Wired Magazine .apk from a cousin's Kindle Fire, and have found that it works well on the Nexus 7, and presumably other tablets. The current version is ̶2̶.̶7̶.̶0̶.̶1̶1̶.̶6̶0̶2̶0̶1̶ 2.9, and the only downside is that it seems like the magazine itself does not fill the entire screen while in viewing mode.
Some prerequisites:
-both Adobe Air and the Amazon Appstore must be installed (you must be logged in, too) for the app to function
-if you have an ad blocker installed, you must add any any websites that include adobe to your whitelist. Mine included "broker.adobe.com" and "stats.adobe.com". This might not be necessarily, but it is a good precaution. If you ignore this and the app crashes, uninstall it and add them.
Just install the app normally after checking the first two things. Also, you must have already purchased the magazines (at least in my testing). If you have a print subscription, I would advise creating your account on a computer, not in the app.

Thanks for this, any chance of pulling the latest version? I believe it's 2.9 or so.
Thanks! Works great on my N73G.
Just wanted to say thanks. I also have the problem of the app not filling the screen on the Nexus 7. Funny that it (presumably) works on the Kindle Fire HD, which is the same resolution.

The Kindle Fire HD is the same screen resolution, but the regular Kindle Fire is not. It's 1024x600 vs 1280x800, a short coming of ~200 pixels in each direction. This could explain the black edges. Maybe it defaults to the 1024x600 resolution unless it sees some indication of being on a Fire HD (ie: build.prop or other file). If so, I imagine there could be a fix for this to mimic the HD and get the full resolution.
OR, Wired could just release the damn app for all Android platforms. :silly:

I think you're right, but I unfortunately don't have access to a Fire HD. I think they use different versions on each different model, so that might be why. That is a complete guess, through.
I don't know if it helps but Wired is now available via Google Magazines in the UK at least.

Is it linked to a print subscription? We can get a glorified .PDF here (I'm the US) and we have to pay extra for it.

Yeah, F* that. Wired will give a free interactive digital issue to iPad and Kindle owners, but charge existing subscribers extra for some crappy PDF version that I could download for free from a number of places.
If Wired doesn't change it's tune, I'm planning on cancelling once my current subscription is over - just on principle.

Anyone else have an issue signing into their accounts? I've followed all of the install instructions and the wired app starts up normally. I just can't sign in to download any content.

On N7, Wired app says "App not owned" and redirects to amazonappstore and there I get the "App is not Compatibile" message.

I used to get this error on my Nook Color but was able to successfully ignore it. Make sure you have the Amazon App store installed, logged in and updated. I think you also need Adobe Air. If you haven't already, "purchase" the Wired app in the Amazon app store via the web. It won't let you download the app and will say your device isn't compatible, but maybe it will get rid of the ownership message. I'm guessing here, so no promises this will fix anything.
Still not working on my n7. I've gotten it to work on my cm7 nook color, but I've tried everything on my n7. I've even re-installed the amazon app store and adobe air. I've also tried the previous version of the wired magazine apk. I get everything to install and open normally, I just can't log in to download my subscriptions. Anyone have any other suggestions?
The messed up thing about this is that it was a wired article that I was reading on my nook color that made me want to upgrade to the n7.

Make sure you disable any ad blocking software or changes made to your hosts file to block ads. This prevents you from logging in to the app.
Thanks, but I'm not running any ad blocking software (unless there's a native app on the n7 that's doing this and I'm not aware of it).

If you have Adobe Air installed, then I don't know what you can do. Try uninstalling Air and the Wired, and then re-install them. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. Wired doesn't offer ANY support so you're just out of luck.
Hoping someone can help. Running paranoid android on a note 2. Installed Adobe air and Amazon AppStore (logged in). I am able to open app, sign in, download, and install an issue...but when I go to view the issue it crashes/force closes.
Any advice?

Google play finally allows you to sign up for free subscriptions using your existing print subscription. As of today, there is no longer a need to do the Wired app dance with Amazon.

Even if you can bring up the learning hub, if you're rooted it automatically closes "due to copyright", and also as your country isn't supported it will close. Tried by flashing a UK rom onto my note. Has it but won't allow me to use it...

IR Blaster is Awesome

When I got the phone, I assumed the IR Blaster was a gimmick and that I would hardly use it. Therefore it was not a selling point when buying the phone. Now I use it everyday. It is just so convenient to control my TV and be able to change channels while looking at the channel guide!
Sent from my Vipered M8
I wish there was a way for it to open the app directly to the remote to turn tv on. there are about 4-5 button presses I need to do to get the tv powered on
I dont know why but I cant get the app to work. It keeps saying that it cannot connect to the server. Ive seen other people mention this problem but I dont know if theres a fix for it yet.
Sucks because I would like to use the feature.
The IR blaster on this device is much better than the LG or Samsung versions, IMO... And when it works apparently (sorry for the luck). It does upset me that you can't add it to the lock screen like Samsung though. With viper, and probably other ways as well, you can add the shortcut to the lockscreen, so that save a few clicks.

If you didn't sign up for an HTC account at start dot htc dot com then it will do that. Once I went through that, the TV app worked fine for me.

You can set it as lock screen. I just did. Your doc at the bottom is the same as your lock screen so you have to change it to one of those.

Yeah, I didn't think of that. It would be nice if we could set up as a widget. Be nice to double tap and there's the remote. Since its stock on other OEMs, I'm hopeful someone will make it happen on one of the great ROMs we have to choose from.

Piracy
Good Afternoon.
The distribution of paid apps for "free" by any means is considered Piracy and is strictly prohibited on XDA.
If you are unsure whether or not the app you're linking others to or downloading is pirated material, try searching for it in the Playstore.
If it has a cost, then your "free download" is PIRATED
Thank you and have a nice day.

Tasker Voice Controlled TV Remote

I'm not to familiar with writing tasked commands I know there was a plugin to use tasker to voice control the infrared remote on Samsung phones...anyone able to modify that plugin to work with The G3? It would be awesome to use commandr's tasker integration to be able to control the TV with my gwatch. I've been looking around and can't seem to find one that's already available.

Head's up, he added support for the G3 to this app! Now how do you use voice control with Tasker?
I have auto voice run a command via the Tasker plug in to turn the TV on and also switch the inputs
