Hello everybody.*
At first I must say it's nice there is a forum where you can find so much help with a lot of thing regarding phones.*
I hope my English I understandable, even though I'm from Denmark.*
I am the happy owner of an Huawei mate 9 pro. Really a good phone but I got a little disappointed when I upgraded my cars stereo to an pioneer sph-da120.*
I really thought that Huawei was up to date with everybody else on the market when it comes to mirrorlink, but sadly no.*
So my question is after of have tried nearly anything in the range of a rookie in phones firmware.*
Is there anybody out there that have a way to get mirrorlink working on huawei with other apps rooting and so on.*
I saw I an article that Huawei p10 is supporting mirrorlink and also in another that they have joined up with vw in 2016 to give people the option of mirrorlink with new cars, so anybody knows if there's and update on the way or is it a lost cause.*
Best regards
Do you mean MirrorShare? If so it works fine between my Mate 9 and LG WebOS TV.

No I mean mirrorlink. Mirrorshare I have and working fine but that requires WiFi and not a lot of cars has this or aftermarket stereos they all use the mirrorlink
Oh I see, my bad.

That's okay.
cant you just connect to your car stereo via bluetooth?
Well I can and have. But the whole idea of mirrorlink is to have everything you use on the screen on the stereo. It's a really nice thing.
The next step would to root my p9 pro to use ARU Unchained where you actually get your whole screen with background and icons over so you actually can control nearly everything with out using your phone.
Here in Denmark you will be fined for using your cellphone even for music via Bluetooth if you want another album or so. But not for using your stereo.
So for me mirrorlink is a feature that I really do like to have and I'm sure I'm not the only one
never even heard of that feature, and I have been using cellphones for 20+ years in the usa
Well it's something here there have been a lot about the last few years here. A lot of phones had it but not a lot you could use it for here but now it's really coming through so you can see my disappointment when I discovered a rather expensive phone doesn't have this feature. It's part my own fault because I really got my Eyes on the p9 pro before I bought it and on the other hand I don't understand why the chose not to have it in this phone.

So, i cam across this on a tech for old people article of cnet, of all places. but i was looking at it, and i'm curious about it. it looks like it could be a fun thing to tinker with, but is that even possible? It says it runs froyo, can't be too crippled because it has a web browser. Only has "AppsLib" tho, not the market.
Also i can't seem to find it anywhere online >_<
EDIT: wait a sec, has this thing even been released yet?
be honest I was looking at picking one of these up myself. The prospect of running Google music (I did get into that beta) and having access to all my music seems good. Alarm clock functions are also a plus. I imagine it will be root-able and someone will make a g-apps package for it. It has a front facing cam as well so it could possibly run skype, qik, etc. or if 2.3.4+ was installed, Google talk. The Chumby folks also released an android app that emulates a chumby device fully and connects to their services so you could use this as a chumby / Sony dash.
Once you have appslib, just download arctools and ta-dah! Instant LATEST market. As for being rootable, I think any Archos is. The only problem the 35 HC may have is lack of RAM/a slow processor...

Buy the 35hc perhaps as a toy and all is fine. basic email,fring,games. Please don't expect miracles. It's like buying a budget compact camera and expecting dslr quality.

I'm searching to buy online this awesome tab because it is not available here in Europe yet.
In the specifications when it was announced the infrared port was described and shown on the pictures on the right side of the tablet.
Today I cannot see anymore this specification and I've read that it would be present only on the European version.
Is it correct? Anybody knows more bout this question?
Thanks!

The HK model I'm holding in my hands does not have IR.

My question is totally legitimate from all the pictures that still are present all over the web showing the back right side with a little dark spot.
And as you can read and see here
www.gsmarena.com/samsung_p6800_galaxy_tab_7_7-4136.php
www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8jst9wz6HKc#!
the infrared is present
while here in this video unboxing from a Vietnamese guy the infrared miss!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNpLFkUOjwI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Is just a curiosity and to do a right choose in the shopping!

For some reason Samsung removed this port. It could have something to do
with performance issues or cost, your guess is as good as mine.

The unit shown in the video above is a pre-production unit. Notice how the box and packaging is not the retail packaging? Also, the accessories included are totally different. The retail version does not include a Bluetooth earpiece, and the included earphones are white, not black.
Also, the specs listed on GSM Arena are not up-to-date, and are based on pre-production specifications.
Again, the retail production version of the 7.7 does NOT include IR. Also, even if you somehow managed to get your hands on one with IR, chances are that it will not get any software updates, and you'll be left with orphaned hardware. Even if the official firmware updates are compatible with the IR 7.7, chances are that the IR functionality will be disabled anyway, so yeah...
Honestly, I find the IR to be kinda pointless anyway. There are a lot of other ways to get your tablet to do exactly the same things as having IR on it.
Mine is from Thailand and doesn't have an IR port. Silly thing is, at the mobile expo the ones on display had IR, but the ones you buy don't..Bit annoying what Samsung do with all the different versions.

It is probably as you say: they removed this connection in the production phase and was present only in the prototype.
Am I the only one that thinks that the IR is just a useless addon?
Are you that lazy to pickup the real remote controller and instead spend hours to setup your tab to control your home entertainment devices with your tab?
If you have so many devices why not buy a Logitech remote? But just whine here missing the IR port...
And IR to transfer data is also crap..

I'm fully agree with you, but not doing like the iphone owners who say that the bluetooth transfer is old and useless!
Certainly I'm not crying for lack of irda port.....
I purchased mine from Dubai a couple of weeks ago. Only model available was 3g 16Gb, no IR.
There was a commercial Samsung booth in the mall displaying a 7.7 with IR.
The lady told me this specific model was not available for sale and did not know if this model would ever been sold.
Tried a trade but no go...

Agreed, but my LCD TV and sound system are Samsung.
Integration would be a nice gadget, although IR sounds a tad out of time.

Right! I use often the Galaxy Remote App on my Tab7 and Note but with the wifi connection under Network. It is very usefull for the internet navigation on my Samsung LCD TV!
The irda would be only a more feature...... never mind!
Yes, wifi on both TV and sound system makes this IR thing kind of useless.
It could be useful if you wanted to transfer a picture or something to another user's unit and if they only both have wifi version, not currently near wifi hotspot, and therefore cannot e-mail.

if both users have a decent samsung device they can use Kies. If they're not use, bleutooth...
As we have passed the 2000 era more than 10 years, bluetooth is pretty the standard in all devices as like a color screen.
Bluetooth, no need to aim your device to each other, faster data transfer and more stable.
But being faster it still takes "time" to beam over a high resolution picture.
If the target device only has irda (and probably a COM port) maybe it's time to dump that outdated piece of technology.
The more tech bits, the more to play around with, so I would of quite liked to of had the IR. Not for file transfer though lol. Don't think it was intended for that purpose this time around. Just for remote features.

Never mind Bluetooth, if both devices are Samsung, have you ever tried WiFi Direct? Holy $H!7!! I've used it between my GS2 and my Note, and it's ridiculously fast!
Besides, the IR blaster (assuming it's the same as on the 7 Plus) isn't capable of data transfer anyway; it's just a 1-way transmitter like on any remote control.
my opinion, to control TV, home theater, hi fi, home automation system, directly from the tablet without having to use other remotes would be a good thing.

You can already do this, and without IR as well. Have a look here.
i wouldnt mind using it but since i can only turn on my tv, its basically useless. it doesnt work with my centurylink prism box. there is an update in the market but cant update it.
anyone here using peel to its fullest?
I have set it up with no problem (HDTV, Satellite DVR and Stereo Reciever) but didn't find any real use for it. Its just so much easier to use the universal remote that came with my dish. Also while it turns everything on with one click it doesn't turn everything off, have to do them all seperately.
Peel is just horrid, completely lacks a learn function or a means of importing definitions. A decent ir app that used the transmitter built into the 7+would be great. Possibly a LIRC based app - that would open many doors.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
haven't use it at all... useless for me...
I use to use the Peel app before I got my 32" HDTV.
The only reason I don't use it now is because I would hate having to keep pressing input til it gets all the way down to hdmi 1.
Basically, it needs to be upgraded for the newer tvs.
Never used it...their support tells me that there is a bug with honeycomb and ir sensors. They said that the fix is ics and its up to Samsung to release it. Kind of a crumbly response if you're going to bundle a product and not support it.

I used it with a Samsung tv and lg tv no problems,
It also works with a old Sony DVD player I have,
Can't get it to work with the dreambox but this could be due to the custom firmware on the box,
Future support for sky boxes would be great...
Nope. Haven't touched it and no plans to do so.
I tried it out when I first got by SGT7+ and it worked - sort of - with my Toshiba TV and DirecTV. I haven't used it since. Actually I find it more trouble than it's worth. The IR sensor was not one of the reasons I got my Tab and didn't even come into play with my decision-making process. I could live without it quite nicely.
Never.
I think it is totally useless. Even I have couple of devices, but never use. I still can't understand why Samsung spent money to put this.
I also tried setting it up but couldn't get it to work with my setup. I am using Windows Media Center on an HTPC and all I could get it to do was turn on the TV. I like the idea behind it, but making it compatible with so many different setups is difficult. It would be interesting if Logitech bought them and integrated it with their Harmony line.
There use to be a damn good ir controlling software back in my symbian days... Psiloc ir remote i think... Used to control bunch of stuff using it...

I use it when I'm too lazy to get the remote from wherever it was left last. I have a 2yr old LG TV and Dish DVR. Doesn't work with my 16 year old Sony home theatre.
I want to buy a cardio monitoring chest belt. I only find "bluetooth smart" products, but it seems that the one mini bluetooth 4.0 is not "smart"...
Do I have to expect a compatibility issue ?
Do you know if since the OTA update to android 4.3, the bluetooth technology of the phone has became smarter ?
Thanks for your advices

My understanding is "smart" in this case means Bluetooth Low Energy [BLE]. Qualcomm SOC used inside our Mini doesn't support BLE. That said some Samsung and many Xperia phones support BLE (or maybe ANT directly) probably by the means of dedicated chip.
I have got myself Polar Wearlink Bluetooth (http://www.polar.com/en/products/accessories/Polar_WearLink_transmitter_with_Bluetooth) and it works well with the Mini.
The best way to get an answer is
Thanks for you answer. I think the best way is to test a "bluetooth smart" device.
Thats what I'm going to do, and I will feed you back.
theoretically after 4.3 smartbluetooth works , im flashing the 4.3 ROM later on today , Ill see if it works , I have a mio alpha watch .lets see if finally works with endomondo
Good news, our phone is smart !
OK guys, it works. Tested with Runalyzer Blue heart rate monitor, and with Runtastic app.
The connection is quickly established and steady.
The bluetooth chipset is compatible, and the upgrade to Andoïd 4.3 is mandatory.
Thanks for your replies.
I just purchased a "Jetstream 4K Ultra HD Android TV Box" from Walmart to replace my aging WD Play. Has anyone had any experience using or rooting these devices? I ask, because I've de-Googled my phone via root, and I'd like to keep this as Google-free as possible. Thanks!
I would also love to know if anyone knows how to root this. I have searched everywhere I can think of but have came up with no definitive solutions..
Can you use any 905x ROM? Are these any good at all? Stock is questionable for sure

I guess these are locked up?
I've loaded a codec for mx player pro that plays everything ive tried so far so is that as good as it gets.
Is this thread still around or do my messages fall on deaf ears? I guess as the manufacturers get better and google does their thing, rooting hasn't seemed as needed as it once was. My Galaxy s8 definitely doesn't need it as it does all the things I once needed root to do. My assumption these devices are there or they are close enough.
