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

Its galaxy s (or samsung) only. Would somebody mind uploading the APK or throwing a link up somewhere? thanks :-D

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.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using XDA Premium HD app
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....

I have one of these and love it. Especially useful with the modifications that allow full read/write over smb and automatic dropbox synchronization.
There is also this :

It can transform any USB drive into a network drive...
As a side note, any HDD or SSD in your PC can be wireless if you set up a Plex media server. It's easy to set up and all your media is available over your local WiFi. You can access your media remotely too just by forwarding one port on your router.
Was about to pick up the patriot gauntlet but then saw this on sale for the same price. With there Seagate you get a hard drive as well. The ability to use this as a wireless hard drive with internet pass through or as a regular 3.0 USB drive is awesome.

True and thanks for that, but doesn't help if you want a mobile wifi drive (unless you're happy to leave your computer running all the time AND have a decent upload speed)
I got one of the T-Mobile 4g prepaid hotspots on Black Friday. It ended up being $10. The interesting thing is that it has a micro sd card so I'm hoping I can use it as a wireless drive without activating the data.
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 .

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?

I use a program called PrinterShare Premium to print to a Dell 1250c printer, previously I used the same software with a Samsung CLP-300 colour laser - this didn't work with the Samsung print driver. PrinterShare has worked well for me across several Android devices although with the above two printers it does require the use of a host PC controlling the printer and to control the inbound print processor. Google print also provide a free cloud-based service that works via the Chrome browser on the PC, although I personally found this to be a bit unreliable so I opted for the Market purchase of PrinterShare as I need a reliable printing option for business use. PrinterShare is available as trial option from the Market.
Alternatively, many low-cost printers now include wireless printing as standard, so if your printer's a bit old and you don't print too much, then this might be another option.
For info: I have no affiliation or association with the developers of PrinterShare, mine is an impartial opinion from a satisfied user.
~Mike
Edit: I see on the Play Store a lot more printer manufacturers have their own clients for Android, so it might be worth having a look there first.
A number of current HP printers are accessible with HP's own app in Google Play. I also recall seeing something in Samsung's app store that allows printing to HP and Epson printers.
Thanks for the help. I'll check out the play store. If the apps doesnt work too good i might give printershare a try.
Again, thanks!!
