I have been reading some reviews and from what I gathered is that the US version does not have an IR built in. Can anyone confirm this? And is this also for European versions?
I tried looking it up but some say it does and some say it doesn't.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0" and YES, it does have the IR Blaster built-in.
As of now, only apps I found for it was the Peel (it came with the tablet) and Touchsquid.
I think the way it is 3113 us version has ir. 3110 international version has no ir.
good day.

I can confirm this. The Dutch (international) version (P3110) has no IR.
Samsung Tab 2 IR blaster
The Samsung Tab 2 sold in the US has an IR blaster. It appears they don't include the feature outside the US. The Peel app is not fully functional outside the US so perhaps that is why they have IR only in the US.
The Touchsquid tablet has an IR blaster, and is available worldwide. The TS PRO remote control app is included in the price, costs $49 on the Samsung.

Actually Touchsquid came up with a separate app specifically for Samsung Tab 2 (sold in the US with an IR blaster), costs 19.99$

They say this TouchSquid app should work on the Tab 7 Plus as well. Has anyone tried it? Is it worth $20?

I don't know that I'd call Peel fully functional withing the US either. It's been nothing but a buggy piece of crap that crashes all the time for me. Maybe the latest update will fix some things.

Haven't had it crash, but i am unable to select a content guide, had to lie to it and say I get ota tv. Otherwise works well, not that I've used it much. Almost seems like a novelty, it easier to just use my Damn remote

Well i have the US version of the tab (P3113) n i live in india....I can use peel to control my TV n all....
The Peel app asks you if you are International or in the US - the guide information may not work but the remote functions should work. I don't know, after about 5-10 minutes setting mine up with it working it just stopped and hasn't worked since.

Does the indian version has ir or not?....can anyone reply
Probably not. Pretty sure it's US only.

Bought mine a while ago and it had no IR. It is the P3110 and I am from Greece. So freakin' disappointing.
I planning of upgrading my phone to Nexus 5, but i do have a doubt, does Nexus 5 sport IR blaster hardware and Will i be able to control my media devices which has IR remote ? ?
Thank You

Which is kind of unfortunate.... talking about native support for IR blasters in 4.4 KitKat, and their 4.4 debut phone doesn't feature one...
I Wonder if u could plug one into the headphone jack and have it work.

Is ir blaster for tv remote control only?
Pretty much anything that uses an IR receiver to control the device. TV's, stereo's, dvd/bluray players.... hell, even digital light switches if you have some that have an IR receiver.
Buy a Logitech Revue, you can get them for $50 and they work great as IR blasters. Then you just run an app on the n5 and communicate with the revue over IP.
Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.
MotoDisplay handwave
This might be helpful to some people like me. Do hit the Thanks button if it helped you.
Hello, does this app work on all versions? Does this app also function the same as Moto Display?

This app is not a replacement of Moto Display. It just activates Moto Display when you wave anything over the proximity sensor. It should work on all versions of Moto Display.

Hello there, it said a new app compatible with all versions is going to be released soon. Could you provide an approximate date when it'd be out? And would it be compatible with CosmicOS ROM?
Thanks!

A new version 2.0 will (most probably) be released by two weeks. But this app is not be compatible with any custom ROMs. This is because custom ROMs don't have Moto Display. Ambient Display on most custom ROMs already have this handwave feature.

Maybe not. I ain't sure. Ask that in the respective forum.
Does it has Gyroscope atleast now ?
Hoping to use the VR with it...
Yes, it has gyro. At least in the EU model.

Gyro too depends upon the regions?!!
That's what this threath says https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/honor-6x-quick-specification-t3534457 . I have the EU model 3GB/32GB and I can say that it has gyro and NFC.
I think all android devices released come with a accelerometer or a gyro of some sort.

Accelerometer is there. But manufacturers are skipping gyro to cut coats. Hoping to see gyro in 6x indian variant.

Considering that accelerometers function on the same principle as gyroscopes on mobile devices. I can understand why some device OEMs are skipping them in favor of accelerometers.
EU version has Gyro but no US version as confirmed on some other thready by someone.
China version has no gyro and NFC...

Yes. People in India are waiting to see the comparison for Honor 6X vs RN4 vs Dual 1 to buy the best for the buck.

Redmi devices are great for thier price tag, not so well known in quality though
Bought the device today after knowing that it supports gyro.

Good one buddy. Enjoy
But the gyroscope is very bad. It trembles a lot and is very slow.
Maybe I am just super old (likely) but I really missed having an IR blaster on my previous phone (Note 3). I've been playing around with the included Smart Controller and have successfully programmed it to control my TV and set top box (ATT Uverse). The IR blaster is working so well that I am thinking about getting the Anymote app.
It gives me a lot of convenience with my appliances at home or work.
One of the reasons I went for it cos IR is important to me and has to be part of my phone; LG G2, G3 and V10

Mind if I ask what remote control app you are using? I can make the stock one work but I would prefer more flexibility in terms of the layout.

I actually use the stock. I'm the kind of person that doesn't change a thing unless I don't get desired results.
Doesn't seem as powerful as I'd hoped. My S4 IR blaster seemed to have better range. Still useful however

I have the 128GB Chinese version. It came without the IR blaster program. I did find a version for the Mate it installed....but while installing, it said this is not for your version phone. The app comes up...but doesn't function. The eval/test versions of the IR blasters on G. Play do work...but they are funky. Anybody have a link to an alternate, but factory original apk for the IR blaster? Thank you!
Ive bought Anymote and that seems to work with t he IR Blaster.

Before u spring for anymote I'd recommend u to give Sure remote a try since I've been using it on my Honor 8 and it can control just abt anything. Plus its free so.....

Strange, my previous phone (also Note 3) had an IR blaster.
all remote apps are working well with this Mate9, the same as my Note4 one
