Which is kind of unfortunate.... talking about native support for IR blasters in 4.4 KitKat, and their 4.4 debut phone doesn't feature one...
I Wonder if u could plug one into the headphone jack and have it work.

Is ir blaster for tv remote control only?
Pretty much anything that uses an IR receiver to control the device. TV's, stereo's, dvd/bluray players.... hell, even digital light switches if you have some that have an IR receiver.
Buy a Logitech Revue, you can get them for $50 and they work great as IR blasters. Then you just run an app on the n5 and communicate with the revue over IP.

I have been reading some reviews and from what I gathered is that the US version does not have an IR built in. Can anyone confirm this? And is this also for European versions?
I tried looking it up but some say it does and some say it doesn't.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0" and YES, it does have the IR Blaster built-in.
As of now, only apps I found for it was the Peel (it came with the tablet) and Touchsquid.
I think the way it is 3113 us version has ir. 3110 international version has no ir.
good day.

I can confirm this. The Dutch (international) version (P3110) has no IR.
Samsung Tab 2 IR blaster
The Samsung Tab 2 sold in the US has an IR blaster. It appears they don't include the feature outside the US. The Peel app is not fully functional outside the US so perhaps that is why they have IR only in the US.
The Touchsquid tablet has an IR blaster, and is available worldwide. The TS PRO remote control app is included in the price, costs $49 on the Samsung.

Actually Touchsquid came up with a separate app specifically for Samsung Tab 2 (sold in the US with an IR blaster), costs 19.99$

They say this TouchSquid app should work on the Tab 7 Plus as well. Has anyone tried it? Is it worth $20?

I don't know that I'd call Peel fully functional withing the US either. It's been nothing but a buggy piece of crap that crashes all the time for me. Maybe the latest update will fix some things.

Haven't had it crash, but i am unable to select a content guide, had to lie to it and say I get ota tv. Otherwise works well, not that I've used it much. Almost seems like a novelty, it easier to just use my Damn remote

Well i have the US version of the tab (P3113) n i live in india....I can use peel to control my TV n all....
The Peel app asks you if you are International or in the US - the guide information may not work but the remote functions should work. I don't know, after about 5-10 minutes setting mine up with it working it just stopped and hasn't worked since.

Does the indian version has ir or not?....can anyone reply
Probably not. Pretty sure it's US only.

Bought mine a while ago and it had no IR. It is the P3110 and I am from Greece. So freakin' disappointing.
is there any verizon rom that has this feature by chance, i just got the dongle and i dont see it in my settings, i know sprint, att and tmoblie have it. can any one port it ?
Allshare cast is jellybean Rom feature. Allshare cast is miracast. U ether need the Allshare cast dongle or widi 3.5 device. (Widi 3.5 now supports miracast) Allshare cast is WiFi alliance miracast certified. The only phones out now that is miracast capable is s3, note II, and the LG optimus G. If you already have a miracast capable tv like certain Samsungs wifi tv with miracast built in which they call Allshare cast than u use it without the Allshare cast dongle. Samsung dongle, built in miracast tv or widi 3.5 device will work

There's a thread already discussing this in this very forum... it's been staying near the top of the pile too so I dunno how you missed it.

Thanks OP for the thread. I was looking for information on this.
I don't care if there are 10 more threads regarding any topic. If you see a thread and you want to help someone out or try to share info then do it... but don't go into a thread and and waste everyone's time pointing out that other people are talking about the same subject. Just move on if you don't have anything to add.

While KitKat supports integrated system IR, the Nexus 5 does not have IR hardware; so no, you cannot use it as a standalone IR TV Remote without purchasing extra hardware.
And, as far as the second battery - the battery is not designed to be consumer 'replaceable'.
Hi! I got Xiaomi mi 4 LTE and flashed windows 10. I'm searching for ANY app for IR blaster, I searched the store and found only that work with WiFi on smart TVs and one HTC app that don't work with my device. Is there any other app? It seems only working app was the one for HTC, which is not working anymore. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance
Maybe I am just super old (likely) but I really missed having an IR blaster on my previous phone (Note 3). I've been playing around with the included Smart Controller and have successfully programmed it to control my TV and set top box (ATT Uverse). The IR blaster is working so well that I am thinking about getting the Anymote app.
It gives me a lot of convenience with my appliances at home or work.
One of the reasons I went for it cos IR is important to me and has to be part of my phone; LG G2, G3 and V10

Mind if I ask what remote control app you are using? I can make the stock one work but I would prefer more flexibility in terms of the layout.

I actually use the stock. I'm the kind of person that doesn't change a thing unless I don't get desired results.
Doesn't seem as powerful as I'd hoped. My S4 IR blaster seemed to have better range. Still useful however

I have the 128GB Chinese version. It came without the IR blaster program. I did find a version for the Mate it installed....but while installing, it said this is not for your version phone. The app comes up...but doesn't function. The eval/test versions of the IR blasters on G. Play do work...but they are funky. Anybody have a link to an alternate, but factory original apk for the IR blaster? Thank you!
Ive bought Anymote and that seems to work with t he IR Blaster.

Strange, my previous phone (also Note 3) had an IR blaster.
all remote apps are working well with this Mate9, the same as my Note4 one
