Has anyone found a decent remote control app for the edge?
My G3 had a native app built in and it worked flawlessly. I could simply program it by pointing the original remote etc.
I have yet to find an app for the Edge that has the same functionalities. Does anyone have a solution?

My Note Edge has a native app called Smart Remote that comes pre-installed and works great. Even have my ac programmed! You mean other variants don't have this? That's pretty dumb on Samsung's behalf.

I have a Verizon note edge and it also came with Smart Remote. Check to see if maybe you disabled it? The app is pretty awesome

Is there an app for this? The peel app requires internet connectioncto get the control working.
I was wondering if this is possible, so I can troll other's tvs without wifi in them. Thanks!
Samsung Remote by Touch Squid is the best application I found out there. It works very well but the UI isn't that pretty.

Peel requires internet connection at setup only, to download ir pattern data, afterwards u can use it freely (except if u add another device or reset the setting) it worked even on my old sony crt tv.

Does anybody know if there's a remote app with which you can add widgets with shortcuts? For example you press the widget and the tv switches to source HDMI4?
I used to have a Galaxy S that had a "Samsung remote" app that was made my Samsung and allowed me to control my TV via network (wifi). I now have an S4 and can't find the same app to use? There is an infrared control app but I haven't found the network control app from Samsung on the S4..any ideas?
No need for it, use watch on app it works better than the original wifi one.
Otherwise if you have titanium on the s1 back it up and copy it across.

But it appears to be IR only? If not in the same room as the TV or not in range..

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!

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.

There is a universal remote app that is amazing. Its 10 dollars but is worth every penny. I have been at the bar and turned off tv's as a joke. No one would think a phone can do that

Doesn't the TV app already do this? You can setup different rooms.

Maybe I'm blind, but where is the guide button? Works great, but I can't figure out how to open up the guide on my AT&T U-Verse box.

What is it called exactly there are loads of apps titled simply ' universal remote'. Having an app like that that needs so little setup sounds pretty cool.

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.
Can't put URL because I don't have enough posts.

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.

This is why I use Smart IR and have a widget with power and volume controls.

That's what I've been using. It has more remotes in it and you can input the hex codes. I've made some ir controlled switches and it has worked well for me.

Just an FYI, you can tap the add button on the top right in the TV app to set up any button from your controller. Don't think many people know that from reading this thread.

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.

You could reach out to the developer of that app and see if they are going to provide support for the G3. It never hurts to ask.....

Asking a dev a support question is all good. Its asking for ETA's that are a no-no

Yes I just bought the app it worked awesome on my Samsung phones I would like it for my lg. But I have been doing some reading and it looks as if Sony and LG lock their infrared to the os or device somehow
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
I recently bought a Galaxy Gear Live and was excited to use it with S health on my Galaxy S5. Turns out, though samsung claimed they would update their software to be compatible with their watch, it still isnt. Not a problem, though. I thought i would still use the google fit app, as its an android wear device. Turns out my phone isnt even compatible with the google app?? Im not sure what to do as both company apps are not supported. Any ideas?

Just because it says it's incompatible doesn't mean it won't still work on your device. You could download the apk and attempt to install, worse case scenario is it won't work

Tried that now, it seems to glitch my phone and freezes it. Also, i just found out other S5's ARE compatible.

That's very odd. Normally Sprint phones are pretty flexible with most apps. Is your S5 on kk or LP?
