I'm disappointed there's no IR sensor on our phone, cause I could really use it for my TV not having a remote. I don't want a universal remote either. Is there any IR sensor I could buy and attach thru the charger port or connect to my USB OTG? And just like port the Galaxy S4 WatchON app to my phone?

You knew the phone didn't have one when you bought it. If it was that big of a deal why did you get it? Also good dude. I Googled headphone jack ir blaster for android and got several thousand results.

So, you'd rather have an IR blaster sticking out of the top of your phone, than buy a universal remote? You could probably find a factory replacement for your TV.

Wow, you two for so helpful!!! If you weren't going to offer up solutions, why respond to the thread? And "I found several thousand results"...how about you link one?
Anyway OP...check this one out. www.irdroid.com
uhh they did offer solutions... 1. use google! 2. buy a remote instead.... i'll even give you a 3rd one... get an htc one, perhaps a play edition if you like vanillla android.

Are you dense Sparky? I did offer a solution. Op said he didn't want a universal remote. I was letting him/her know they could probably easily buy a factory replacement. Learn to read Slick.

Sparky? Slick? Oh aren't you clever. He asked specifically for something for his phone.

Sure am. I gave my suggestion. Sorry it wasn't up to your standards. You don't like it then move on. No need to call anyone out. Especially when they're actually trying to help.

Sorry guys I didn't mean to cause all this. I didn't know what to Google. I looked up add on ir for android and it didn't really help. And I didn't know it didn't have one when I bought it.

Is there an app that can take advantage of the ir sensor? Besides the one bundled with the tab? (I forget its name too)
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2
I believe that it is an emmiter, not a sensor.
Wondering this myself...peel does an OK job but I'd like to use it as a big harmony remote if possible.

I've been looking too but haven't found any app to use the ir blaster. I made a request to the peel developers to include codes for my sharp projector. Does anyone know if I can configure peel for only a stereo receiver?
I emailed them also and asked if they would allow peel to run on cm9. It refuses to even load for me. Could be no kernel support also.

Peel sucks!!!!!! Would be awesome to use as a regular remote.

Hi, If anyone could provide me with the Peel APK from a Tab 2.0 with IR blaster, I would like to take a look, I want to get a Tab 2 7.0 for remote control, but in the UK they don't have the IR blaster.
Before I import one with a blaster, I want to be sure that I can write my own IR app for the device. I'm very happy to share any findings with the community. Hopefully we will be able to roll our own IR API, as according to the Samsung dev site there is no API available.
Cheers,

I can't get it to control my Sony TV, Blu-Ray, and Audio system.
It's Sony, I would think they would have codes for a fairly Old and popular brand.
sony app
I also am unhappy with the peel app and am looking for a way to get the app from the sony tablet s. I found download links in the sony tablet forum, but cant get them to install. Heres a link to the forum page with the download links: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650834 Hopefully someone who knows more about the .apk files and how they work can get this to work. The sony app looks far superior to peel.

I've been looking for an app as well, I don't have cable cause i download all of my movies and tv shows. It would be nice to have a remote of some sort, even if its just a simple one... The Peel doesn't seem to work. I tried alot of the different IR apps out there with no luck...

There is a Demo version of Touchsquid that Works on the Tab 2, the guys that made it are very helpful.

Does it have to use data continously? That's the only drawback to peel so far.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2
I am downloading this app now, looks like it could be an answer, i will test it out when I get home and let everyone know how it works... Especially since it seems aimed at Samsung Tab 2 for its IR
I downloade the app. It does not need connectivity. I dont get what the paid app is for, plus it is really expensive.

I tried out touchsquid on my LG and didn't get any response... I was really just hoping for something like a universal remote. Like where you can program pretty much any TV to it. Not just a few groups...
UPDATE: I called into TouchSquid and they were really cool with their support division, they said that if the code groupings don't work then email them your model of TV and they can probably find the codes for you. I've never really dealt (or had a number to call) any of the app developers before, nice to have that kind of support, and the Tab 2 is what they do most of their testing on!
My brother bought it when he was in Pennsylvania on his way home. He used once yesterday at our house. He didn't care too much about it so he wanted me to sell it.
It retails for $89.99 from T-Mobile.
It has everything. The Media Hub, HDMI, power adapter, USB cable,manuals, box.
Throw me offers. Don't lowball me or else I will discontinue my One S toolkit . U.S.A only and I accept PayPal. Sorry guys.

Anyone know if this will work with a receiver HDMI input vs direct to the HDMI on the TV? My setup has all my electronics in another room and I would love to hook this up via HDMI to my receiver and be able to "switch" to it as needed.

Please let us know how that works! I have a pebble whenever it ships lol. But I was reading up on this just the other day.

I have 2 broken screen S3s that I replaced under warranty just sitting here and looked around to find something good to do with them. Here's my list of uses:
1) Battery charger
boring
2) IP Webcam
Brilliant. Using IP Webcam app, an S3 on charge can reliably act as an IP webcam for days without issue. I'm a linux guy, so I use the linux app "motion" to capture images and video for security from these cams, and also a timelapse mpg. Rooting the phone is a good idea as that allows you to run it on a better performance schedule (like on demand) which is fine because it's always plugged in.
3) Flashing ROMS
Just as brilliant as 2. I don't think I would have had the nerve to flash my real phone if I hadn't used / abused / bricked / unbricked the broken phones first.

Sell them or flash roms would be the best options. Hell I would by one. Lol

If it's tw you can use it with mhl just to run xbmc. You can use yahtze or another remote to run it if the screen is really bad.
I'd turn it into a sPod.
If the screen is broken, fix it, then sell it. Or use it as automation center.

Calm down His point was, that Chromecast isn't specifically related to the Nexus 5, regardless if you're using it with a Nexus 5 or not. There's a Chromecast forum too. :angel:

Because if for some reason the N5 software doesn't work for it then I'd never know and buy one for £30 for no reason

And if you use plex you can use your N5 to search your home server and chromecast a movie from your pc to your tv.
Just buy it, I already have two of them here.
