We've been at it for a while now, but it's finally done.
Smart IR Remote was accepted from the first try into Samsung Apps, and no you can download it from here:
http://apps.samsung.com/mars/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=000000880593
It has ALL the remotes included in the phone app, with all the buttons, so you're no longer limited by the WatchON app to control your devices.
When it comes to features, obviously this is a phone so the edit mode will be simply a method to delete useless buttons, and that's why we put the "Lite" stamp on it. We're working on a way to fully edit the app though!
Best of all: this app is free for a limited time, until we make it a "full" app. We might keep it free forever for people who bought the app for their phones though!
Feel free to report any issues, bugs or suggestions!
Very slick.
Works well with my Sky box.
Sadly doesn't support my Sony TV - KDL - 40L4000 so need to find something else fully compatible - which isn't easy.
Definitely appears better than the sammy remote
Don't let that take away from your efforts though. This was 100% needed, works exactly as advertised and even allows you to customise the display.
With a bit of work I'll have this setup even better than my harmony.
Some feedback may be to allow you to add buttons for different devices to the same screen, hich would help us users with AV systems and different bits doing different jobs. Either that or support for activities that support mutliple devices. i.e. Activity - TV: Amp used for volume, Sky box for channels, tv for picture settings etc.
Nice!
been waiting for this since i got my Gear 2!
and this shuld win Samsung Gear App challenge!
Installation failed. Try later.(0) error. It's driving me crazy.

Should definitely work with your Sony TV. Please send an email at [email protected] and we'll see what can be done to sort this out.
As for combining remotes .. we're getting there Just you wait and see
@RiverCity.45 I know, a real pain. We're trying to figure out what exactly causes it and to see if there's anything we can do on our end to fix it.
Oh man, I've loved the Smart IR app ever since I discovered it. Can't wait to get this rolling on my Gear 2!
I am running into a weird issue though - for some reason, the app installed fine - I of course don't have a remote set up in the Gear 2 app, so it asks me to choose a remote. Press continue, list of device categories. I choose a category, and it loads forever. No error message or anything. I tried restarting both devices, but no luck. I'm wondering if it might be because of the ROM I'm using (Dynamic Kat 4.1). I do occasionally see "The app can't reach our servers, please try again later", but after a minute or two it just starts loading forever again.
About how long should it take to show a list of devices? Any other ideas of what else to try?
Great work! This was the app I was waiting for, finally I can manage all my sound&tv devices. Thanks a lot.
Combining buttons from multiple devices would be great. Glad you are working on it. And maybe one up swipe for the power toggle of all devices at once?

Could be the ROM, but it's unlikely, especially since the list of categories actually does show up for you. It shouldn't normally take more than a few seconds to load. Does this happen on all categories? Can you try reinstalling ?

Can you try any other models in there to see if they are a match for yours ? It's hard to build a full search on this (like we have on the phone app) given the current keyboard state ..

Awesome app, now if only to have an option to rearrange buttons & figure out how to uninstall stock watchon remote
Sent from my N900T UVUDNF1 4.2.2
Awesome!!! This is my favorite app on my phone! Great job guys!!!
app is nice. However, my first intention was to find and test devices that I copuldn't control with WatchOn.
For example, I have an Arcelik air conditioner , model 15040. On the app, I could find Arcelik 15030. It didn't power on my 15040. Are they really different ?
Can you add it ?
Also, I saw that Philips LivingColors is available in "home equipment " category. AFAIK, LivingColors does not use IR to control. Instead it uses Zigbee (Smartlink) wifreless protocol. And I tried it with my LivingColors and didn't work.
How can we make this work with LivingColors ?
Thanks.
Not showing up for me in the app store. Gear2 Neo/S5 Active
I would like to be able to edit the layout of a control on the phone. It a bit clunky to do this on the watch.
Hey guys! For all remotes/database - related questions please email us at [email protected]. It's hard to keep track of things here
Thanks!
As for the app not showing for some of you, that's something we're trying to find out from Samsung how to fix. Here's the list we support (basically checked ALL when uploaded to Samsung Apps): http://pastebin.com/rcu7WHZg

That was my impression as well - it's working somewhat, just not letting me see the devices within the categories. So far, I've tried a few categories (TV, Audio Video System, Game/Media Manager) to no avail, but I'll try it again here. I did just try a reinstall, might try to uninstall, restart everything then reinstall again. It's really weird, because after selecting a category, it just sits there on the gear, spinning rather fast. I'll also check with the ROM dev as well just to make sure it isn't something on that front.

Excellent! Thank you
I have an issue in with support, but just wanted to chime in here. I am also having an issue setting up remotes. I can install the app, pick a category and then a device. I can get so far as doing the first power button test, but when I try to tap "it works" it just shows me the gear animation as if it's doing something but doesn't progress past that. It happens with ANY remote I tried to add.
What I've done to troubleshoot - rebooted both devices, uninstalled, reinstalled, same result. On a rooted Galaxy Note 3 with Hyperdrive ROM build 8 (4.4.2), Gear 2 Neo is stock, unrooted.
Ultimately, what I want out of this is something that can control my receiver power, input switching and volume, as well as my projector on/off on one remote panel - so I'd love a remote that can combine functions from different devices. I'd be fine with paying for an app with that functionality.
Well now I feel dumb...
I wanted to give a status update. So I was still running into one heck of a brick wall getting the app to work properly on my Gear 2. I admit, it was rooted, but I didn't realize the firmware I was on (*NDB) was outdated. I just tried to connect to Kies to see if I could bring it back to stock firmware, and I find out I had an update to a new firmware (*NE5). Performed the update, and boom - app loads like it should, I can select a category, and I now see a list of devices! I figured it would be worth mentioning if any others are seeing this issue. Now that it works properly, I'll test it out on a few devices. If you don't hear from me soon, consider that good news!

Hello all! I had a thread but it was locked because it was a paid app. Now, there is a free one to check out. It's called Prox Lite and it has just been added to the Android market.
Prox makes use of the phone's proximity sensor and accelerometer to initiate an action. Prox figures out what orientation you are holding the phone and then activates that action when you swipe your hand across the proximity sensor. Prox Lite has 4 actions:
*Flat - Emulate home button
*Toward - Expand and contract notification panel
*Left - Launch phone dialer
*Right - Launch browser (google.com)
All you have to do is turn on the service through the app and then tilt the phone in the direction you are trying to activate the action for and then pass your hand over the proximity sensor and it will activate the action for that direction.
You can amaze your friends, and feel like a Jedi. Imagine the look on your friend's faces when you do things without even touching the phone itself. Just to ease your mind, Prox is disabled when the screen is off and when you are in a call. Normal proximity sensor usage is preserved during these situations to you don't have to worry about Prox doing things when you don't want it to
Here are some thoughts about the app

Here is a video of it in action (Pro version) if the description I have provided doesn't really make any sense Be sure to follow me on Twitter: @SemperGumbee for updates and support.
Here is another video made by one of our own members here at XDA. Thanks patrick848!
He also wrote a little write up here if you want to check it out.
And, here is a link to the android market
Download Prox Lite from Android Market
Download Prox Lite from GetJar
If you have an issue where it doesn't show up in the market or it says that your device is incompatible, I have made Prox Lite available to XDA peeps via direct apk. If your device will allow install from the market, please use the link above, otherwise, click here to download the apk directly. Downloading from the market allows for easier tracking so I would appreciate it if you would download it from there This is for the members that cannot find the version because of certain software...
P.S. Some users are having trouble with making this work properly. If you are having issues with the left and right actions, try just a slight tilt and then a swipe. Refer to the video for an example of this. Also, different phones have different proximity sensors and some of them just happen to work better than others. Give it a try to see what you think and don't forget to leave a rating in the market. I hope you enjoy this app

This is really cool. My biggest concern right now, having only just tried it for a few minutes, is potential battery drain. If it doesn't end up being too bad, i may consider trying the full version. It would be nice to be able to hide the notification bar icon, but the full version may already have that.
Battery drain is really not all that bad. The listeners are unregistered when the screen goes off. During normal phone use during the beta a few months ago, Prox was only using around 3 - 4 % battery during a normal day. But alas, this depends entirely on how much you actually use the phone itself. If your screen is on for the better part of the day, then drain will occur. But under normal use, it really isn't that bad. Thanks for the feedback

Yeah. I was originally going to put it into the Productivity category on the market, but I think it's more of a novelty than an actual productive applications. It's just cool to show people. There are some things in the paid version that can be put to actual use though. There is a Timer mode that activates an action based on how long you cover the sensor. It could be useful in a car dock or a cradle at home.

Forgot to quote. What version of Android are you running?
I picked up the pro version. So far it's pretty solid. Battery drain is pretty much non-existent, maybe 2% with a lot of screen time.
Some things I would like to see:
Tasker integration (this would be the best addition by far).
A combination of the Timed and normal types so you could hold over the sensor longer for a different option.
Being able to hide the icon in notifications.
Media button options like Previous Track, Play/Pause, Next Track.
Simulating a long-press of the search button to bring up Voice Actions.
Profiles that automatically change based on what app you're in.
Thanks for making this, I've been using it a lot today, and it has already become habit. Keeps my screen cleaner, too.

Im glad that you're liking it! A lot of the things you have mentioned have already been pointed out to me and I am thinking which ones will actually be possible. Some of the things will require root access. But I have a summer job atm (10 1/2 hour days) so I am not really tinkering with it right now. When I get back into school mode, you can pretty much expect to see some if not all of this added to the pro version. I appreciate the feedback and be on the lookout to some awesome future updates
P.S. please leave a comment and rating in the market
Do you have it on any other markets? AndroidPIT, SlideME or anything similar where I can buy it with a paypal account?
For some reason the Android Market site says it's only compatible with my Wildfire and not my Desire HD :S

It is not currently on any other market but the Android Market. I may add it to some of the ones you have mentioned but it may be a bit before it gets there.
My portal says that it should show up as compatible for the Desire HD. I see that you are running MIUI so that may be the reason for it not showing up. Some custom ROMs and leaked builds of Android cause this and I have no reason why.

I ordered one of these on the second cant wait tell it ships.
So it's almost 2 months later, anyone have any feedback on the SmartStick? I'm interested in a portable Google TV stick but the current reviews out there are mixed to say the least.
-Al
favi smart stick start up & initial impression
My pre order SS 4GB finally arrived today after a few delays. They did do some free upgrades due to the missed dates (Plex, USB charger, upgraded software)
I promptly plugged it in and got the start up screen wizard. the ir remote was not responsive at all. In fact, I had to unplug the USB charging and reset to get it working. Even after that, the remote has alot to be desired. Just a cheap piece of plastic, really. I am hoping I can program my Harmony One universal remote to work with it and/or someone will develop a wifi remote for the device. HINT HINT!
anyway, after the initial setup which was pretty painful using a combination of a directional tab for cursor and onscreen keyboard entry (I didnt order the wireless keyboard mouse as you may have guessed) I was able to set up my Google account and get a couple apps installed from the store.
I am pleasantly surprised that the device is configured like it is a phone, so the limitations of Google TV and other set top boxes are not there (I am happily listening to Spotify on my home system directly- not requiring my usual airplay form the iPhone or iPad.) I look forward to being able to essentially have all the apps on my GS3 that make sense set up on the TV.
Once I was able to get to the settings, I changed the display to 1080 (I would think they should default to the highest available...it is HDMI after all.
I will certainly report back after checking out how well it can stream the media from my server, but my first impression is that it has potential to connect media to the TV.
There needs to be a much better control setup as well as clear ways to set up screensavers.
UPDATE an hour later:
OK, so I am able to control the device with Google TV remote. no problem. The bugs in that app have been worked out well and it seems to work really well. its a free app, so perfect!
I like that I am able to hook up a camera and BAM! a nice Sype implementation using the big screen. Logitech Revue limited me to their proprietary Vid software. This plus Spotify make this a worthy purchase for me.
still wish I could have more control over the homescreen. I dont see how to clear up the screens and I am limited to a kind of MIUI look with all my apps listed and 2 spots for widgets. hmmmmm
Hi I just received my smartstick. Very pleased with android system but the remote is pain so I was looking
For some app for my SGS2 with which I can control smartstick. I found tablet remote which would be perfect
But!! When I run this app on stick it was telling me he cant register SDP record for com.tournesol.tabletremote
so it didn't worked.
My question is guys do you think it will be solved just by simply rooting stick? Is there a way how to safely root
Smart stick? Thx
Droidmote is what I've heard people use to remote control these Android TV sticks from their phone. It may be worth a try.
You can actually use Google TV remote as well.

Good review mate thanks for that
Just to let you know I use launcher pro (although you could use any of the launcher apps - most of which are free) downloaded from google play. This then creates a nice clean near stock interface to play with to your hearts content. If you have a big screen like mine you can jack up the columns and rows to 10 / 8 and have a nice big Spotify widget in the corner of the screen.
Worked for me anyways...best of luck!
I have the rooted OS installed as well as frodo 12 XBMC. It runs great. My only issue is with the Logitech Google TV keyboard which causes a bug when switching on XBMC for the first time. Otherwise this is a great alternative to turn a dumb TV into a smart TV and allow installation of all kinds of Android applications

You need to look very Closely on the Bottom of the screen very closely. I don't remember for a fact but the Skip Link is grey colored and not very easy to distinguish.
Changing the orientation won't help as then the link goes out of Screen.

Hey guys
I just want to drop a note here about an app I just came across, that I've literally been searching for for years on Android. On old Windows Mobile when men were men we had Hbutton and AE Button Plus that would allow you to do button combinations on your phone to do various things. (Turn on Auto Brightness when you can't see the screen in the sun maybe?) These can also take place while the screen is off.
Anyways, in case there is any other poor souls searching for someone to keyword this just right , here it is.
The app is called QuickClick and here's a link to the playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blor.quickclickgold
If you've got a better app that does this functionality feel free to post.
Thanks
downloading. looks interesting.
thank you for build.
err on the side of kindness
Ive been using it for a over 2 months its good but I wish I could toggle Wifi off/on and BT off/on with the same sequence instead of having one sequence entry for each.
2 volumes up for Wifi off/on
3 voumes up for BT off/on
If I could do both with 2 volumes up, It would be amazing.
very nice. will keep this one. thank you again.

Pressy seems to use an app to force audio output around the fact that it's just stubby headphones-with-a-button without the headphones. QuickClick just saved me $32! (And the frustration of "OK Google" not working with Pressy, among other foreseeable issues.)
Missing ready button
Hi, i cannot use this app becouse i dont have that ready button in creating new action so i cant create new action.
I posted screenshot, so you can see it.

current support for this app
Hey guys,
I'm wondering if @bluenote73 of any of you could take this great app and give support to the latest versions of android that has today's devices, because i've tried since lollipop (5.1) to Nougat (7.0) and none of them support quickclick functionality.
It seems something happened with the volume steps and control since kitkat (4.4) and even with the service wakeup, because in this versions of android quickclick can't autostart, even if you use an thirdparty tool to configure it (like ES Admin).
I beg you, this is a great app, but it needs to relive and if would be great if bluenote73 releases the code for someone continues with the support, or if himself does it.
Best regards to everyone.

Hi guys!
We released our first app for the Gear 2, Power OFF, which is basically TV-B-Gone on steroids. Best of all, it's 100% free, no ads, no internet/phone connection required, no weird permissions or facebook logins.
** POWER OFF ** is the ultimate tool for your Samsung Gear 2 to take final control of any IR-controlled appliance. It performs one function - the last action you'll ever need: turning off anything.
POWER OFF works with 99% of the most popular devices on the market:
- TVs
- Set Top Boxes
- Air Conditioners and Heaters
- Audio/Video Systems, DVD Players, BluRay players
- Gaming systems and Media Managers
- Projectors
- ... and many others
Were you ever at a bar where the TV was too loud? Or maybe in bed, with the remote nowhere in sight? All you need is the **free** POWER OFF app for your Samsung smart watch, and you can turn them off.
How about showing off your watch to your friends? Simply turn off all their home equipment at once with the mighty power of your watch!
If you've ever heard of [TV-B-Gone], think of POWER OFF for your Gear 2 as a version of that, **on steroids**. This **isn't limited to just TVs**, but works with any other device too!

Feel free to let me know of any issues, feature requests, etc!
Nice toy! Thanks.
For home use, I would like to learn the app the required codes, because for daily use it takes too much time to turn off my devices.

If only it were that easy. The Gear 2 doesn't have the hardware required to learn commands.
Thanks for this app! I like using it. It finds my tv quickly to turn off. And also turns my tv on. Another great app to add to my Gear 2.
A nice feature to add is car radios.

For those you should try the A/V System category. We support a lot of them
Excellent! THANK YOU!!! :good:

I don't mean learning by a receiving ir sensor, but by indicating in your app which ir code works for my device. Each ir code send action has a number. Or after a successful turn off, directly confirm this in the app, and next time start with the confirmed codes.

Ah, I see! How about, if you manually STOP the codes sending at position 100, next time it would start from code 90 ? (N - 10)
HI I really hope you go forward with doing a full-featured remote replacement for Watch-On. Samsung's Gear version of WatchOn really is useless for me since I need something that will support my Onkyo home theater receiver for the volume in my home entertainment system.
In fact I use your Android app on my Note 3 instead of their phone version as well (I was the guy who sent you an email inquiring about possibly porting your android app to the Tizen Gears and someone responded that you actually were the same devs who created this Power Off app).
The IR blaster is one of the reasons I may stick with the Gear even once Android Wear starts showing up - but if I can't control my home theater system, there's no reason for me to stick with it.
Where can you get it?

Thanks for replying! Your suggestion would be great for one device, but with more than one device it won't work. So the app would need an extension to record multiple code numbers.

Works great!
Thnx. OP
any possible way to share the wgt on here?
I don't want any public link to the .wgt, but anyone who wants it feel free to send me a private message and I'll share it happily there.
The reason is that it would only be a matter of time until someone takes it, adds some kind of virus and spreads it. I know it's not hard to extract a .wgt, but I'd like to make everything harder for the 'bad guys'.
@baudac: I sent you the .wgt link on PM
looks nice
Epic app! Give me a lot of fun today! Thank you!
Not sure if theres already a thread (dont think there is but I havent searched far)
Things I would like to see are:
Official Social Media Apps - Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter integration etc.
S Voice Improvement - Feel like it lacks a whopping amount, I literally feel like the only thing I can ask it to do is Call / Message someone or Open an app or request the weather (Which is on my homescreen anyway). Things that surprised me is that it can't play a song on the device on request, or open an application on the phone on request etc. I feel like it should run its responses through the official S Voice app on the phone if the request isn't a direct Gear command.
Lock security on wrist - Phone lock security on the wrist, I understand there is already the "Autolock" but some nice security features would possibly be a pin unlock that shows up on watch (or on phone if not connected) or a pattern unlock, gives more security options. Or even when clicking the option in notifications to "Open on phone" that it bypasses the lockscreen.
Remote Phone Viewer - Somewhat like teamviewer but where you can actually view your phones screen, scroll around and interact from your wrist, might be slow and tedious but would be a fun feature and extend its capabilities into the phone itself.
Unified Remote application for PC control - I always find Unified remote a good application for remote access to PC's it would be nice to see them develop an application for the wrist!
Android Wear Application integration, allowing tizen to run android wear apps, I feel if Samsung don't allow this, or don't speed up the process of passing applications their smart watches will be outran by watches such as the Moto 360.
Think thats all my ideas so far, would love to hear yours!
I would like to see an application like Shazam.

I want Google now and a MUCH better texting program. I want to be able to receive the test and reply to it in one step.

Yes, but you need to exit whichever notification you are in and go into Flesky. IMO, Flesky is slow, even with the latest update. Takes a few seconds to open and doesn't automatically refresh your feed. Very annoying that something better hasn't come out from Tizen yet. :crying:

Oh I definitely agree with that, what annoys me about default notification app is that it takes up a huge bit of scroll space repeatedly telling you that the button below opens on the phone even though the button itself says that. Should use that space to have an "Open in watch messenger" to reply!
General keyboard
More and more apps let you type in stuff. But every app has his own made keyboard.
So a keyboard implementation general for all apps!!
Then developers can make the perfect keyboard which you can choose.

Definitely agree, I don't mind typing on my watch it is manageable!
and we all know we're going to be doing it discreetly (while at work) so I could just carry a thin stylus if I ever needed to, might take something finding one, I was quite disappointed that non of the s pens worked.
"Unified Remote application for PC control "
I actually asked the developers of Unified Remote about making a Tizen port of their app - or at least something that could work in conjunction with the phone app. They said they'd look into it, but I'm not holding my breath.
We'll have more luck if the Color Tiger developers who make Smart IR lite come through with their new device that is being crowdfunded as we speak - as they said that device will be able to get commands from the watch somehow.

Hopefully they do develop a watch app it would be great and promote their app much more. I would even pay for it!
At the moment im using Wearable Widgets with a 4x4 simple unified remote widget but as I don't like wearable widgets limited options on clock faces and lack of time updates I have to flick between clock faces which is impractical!
Just thought of a new one, develop sleep application to toggle your phone into a sleepmode turn sync off etc location dim screen. Then once you wake up and toggle sleep off it turns them all on!
