Smart Controller IR App on Mate 9 - Is it really there? - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

In the English USER manual for the Mate 9, there is a section describing the SMART CONTROLLER ir remote controller application and how to use it. Its quite clear that for my Mate 9 that this application is NO WHERE to be found. I have this model: (6GB/128 GB Model MHA-AL00 / Build Number: MHA-AL00 C00B137). I have the 2 SIM version sold by a HK seller on eBay.
I was able to find and load the SMART CONTROLLER ir application (apk) for the Huawei P9 from another Huawei site online. There were a couple "wrong version for your device" messages during the install, but the app loaded and seems to function normally.
My questions...
- Has anyone else had this issue?
- Is there a version of this program specific for the Mate 9 I could get my hands on?
- What are others recommending as far as a ir remote control application?
Thanks to all.

I'm using the same version as you and I have the app ir remote control.... It's working good but the learning function doesn't work almost all the time.... So don't worry download Anymote ir remote control and you will be very happy...
But you have to know that YES there is an app for ir remote
I think you can download it from Hiapp too if someone gives you the specific name from hiapp manage category... I can because I have deleted it

Thank you!

Thank you for the great tips!
Seems like the after market remote control apps are a better bet!
By the way...do you have the options to do WiFi calling on your phone? In the English manual its says its there, but its not present on my build.

I have never use WiFi call so if there is one I wouldn't know how to do it.... So ask someone else....

I personally disagree that a different IR app is better. The learning function doesn't work very well, but once you get it working, you can have it control anything. I've got my Mate 9 controlling my lighting, my TV (it's a strange brand so none of the apps know the codes for it, so I needed to use the learning function) and my air conditioner. It's pretty great.

Why to get tired trying and trying... You delete this app and you install Anymote with learning function that works great

Is Anymote able to learn? Trying the free version, but it's telling me learning is not supported on my Porche Design Mate 9. Or do you mean Anymote Home?
The built-in IR app is working decently anyways, I just programmed it to control my pretty much unknown room Ventilator/Light and it seems to work just fine, first time I'm able to get a phone to control it, never found it in any app's database. Not the most fancy or flexible thing I've ever seen, but it gets the job done. As long as your real remote is sending a decent signal, it looks like the learning is pretty consistent.

OK but I can't install it... When I try it says error something about signature...
Does anyone know how to install it without root?

I guess that a full system reset would restore all those preinstalled apps, I know this is a pain in the ... but it may be your only choice.

Remote spotify from mobile

Is ther any chanse to remote spotify from my mobile ? like i play music from spotify on my computer. And then i can change track, vol up/down from my htc hd2. Is this possible ? Thanks fore help!
I wouldnt mind that either, I got G-remote set up working for winamp but not sure how to make it work with spotify...
use remote desktop
That is a possibility, and that is what i am doing at the moment. But shouldnt there be a way to get g-remote to tell the "next song"-command (etc) to Spotify instead of Winamp?...
I figured out how to do that with one of the tutorials on their page (g-remote's)... So i suggest you look there lovenvik..

Yes. But then the computer logging off and the sound will not come out from the computerspekers.

Check out the options in the windows mobile rdp application... you can specify whether sound is played on the remote computer or on your device.

Thats good to know mate... could you not just post what you did here though? It would be helpful to others who may stumble across this thread on xda.

Are you using the one you can download from ther website or are you using the xda verision?
I tryed to install the one that xda have but i cant install the cab file (WM6BTPAN) get error code:1062 so it dont work fore me. The real verision from gsoftware are working thow, but its just a demo.
I tried posting this a couple of days ago but since in included urls then i could not post it. But I'm rewriting it now to tell you what to search for instead
I am using server version 1.3.3.71 and client version 1.3.2.96 (although i had to use an older one to add profiles since that one wont let me).
gbmsoftware.com (homepage of the developers) has a videotutorial under their FAQ called "How to add custom program to GMedia profiles". It shows how to make VLC controllable but works just as well with using the key shortcuts that Spotify use.
Just google "spotify keyboard shortcuts" and you should have no trouble finding it.
Same goes for lets say MPC... (my favourite)
Hope that helps
The demo version should work to try out, but getting your hands on a registered version might help... That's what I did

Someone first said he managed to get this android app on his mobile/tablet to remotely control his Android Smart TV..(http://forum.energysistem.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=30)
The thing is that this forum is in spanish only, and that the link points to a chinese page.... so I thought I'd stick it here !!!
This said, I tried it on my HTC Desire and on My Asus TFT101 and I definitely can control my tv with both of them
hoping it will help
b0b0
ps: I'm really interested in knowing HOW can this software connect to my Android TV without me entering any passwords ... This means I can go to anyone's house with an android smart tv & control it??!!!
Just going to bump this as its working well with my ATV1200
Anyone else had a go with it.. and is there any hacks to it?
Also been playing with this one.. but cant seem to get it to work..

Free Remote Android Support App

Zikk is unique mobile to mobile remote support app.
So what's so special about Zikk?
It is designed for consumers and not for IT depatments and operators,
therefore it is extremely simple and user friendly.
It provides full privacy protection - no screen sharing, and no access to SMS, email, etc.
It doesn't require constant internet access, and doesn't prevent the recipient from using his
phone for other purposes during the process.
It supports all Android devices (2.2 and above).
In addition to remote support, Zikk contains a local settings menu which uses Zikk's simple
and friendly interface.
When people have a hard time setting up their smartphones, they ask help from their friends
and family - Zikk enables users to help each other.
APK attached. Also available on Google-Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zikk.alpha)
where you will also find a short and helpful demo video. You van also find the video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsP9-Lpfwpk).
So both people need Zikk installed, I presume? Does the person you are helping get prompted to download it?

Correct. If the selected contact does not have the app, the user will be asked to allow sending
an automatic SMS with a link to the download page. There is also a share option where you can
send this message (via SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.) to one or more people.

This really does sound great; however, does it support wifi-only tablets? Is the phone number just to receive verification code? If so, will any mobile phone number work?

The current version is designed for Android phones does not support WiFi-only tablets or
large screen tablets, however in a few weeks I will publish the tablet version, which will
include UI adjustments, tablet related features and a different registration process.
Sounds AMAZING! I'd really like to use this to help my friends and family. I live in India though
No worries, I'll wait
fantastic idea!!! this will surely take off!! kudos to the OP!!
how far this app will go ? I mean can I help someone from anywhere ?
What about phone types? What if my phone is a Nexus and the other device is a HTC?

I posted the app's package name and the title of the demo video

Great ideas for the next version - thank you very much!
I like the app a lot, but what make it one of the best is if I could move, install, & uninstall system apps, and a root file manager so that we can help rooted users also
uninstalled this app from my Galaxy Note i717 and now the home screen is gone and I cant get back into recovery?
oh cool its like remote assistance for android!

Actually a version for rooted users is an interesting idea. Not sure how common "less tech savvy"
rooted users are though. If you have more ideas for features for rooted users I would love to hear them.
I actually have a friend who is just getting into root use who calls for advice when he needs it. Let's be honest we were all beginners once and maybe could have used a little hand. He moved recently so there is distance involved now. This looks like a great idea.
I would love to have access to the settings menus, root file explorer and perhaps apps he already has installed such as set CPU or apps of that nature.
Beginners in root use are just as confused by root abilities as beginners in android are of it's stock features at times.
It would be really great to be able to start a log cat app and have your friend do something that normally causes a crash for example if they are not advanced enough to run one themselves. A current issue I have on hand. Trying to explain how to run one and sending videos to watch.
Hope this keeps going :thumbup:

[MOD] Spotify tablet mode

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.
ViRb3 said:
Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.

I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.
So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

OP I could possibly kiss you all day and it wouldn't be enough. Worked like a charm.
Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.
Though it is currently up again.
Op finally I got it downloaded. Thanks so much but I have a question. Is it possible for me to download for offline for free with this mod?

Hi there, here you go. But she is still a bit buggy.
Seems to work pretty well for me, I'm in Australia, so missing some features. I had to get a second Alexa apk (from google) to enable skills etc, but works well with my Harmony hub (turn on TV/music etc). Understands my accent a bit better than Google too
