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.

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.
Has anyone gotten the peel smart remote app working with the pvr from bell? I can't seem to get it working. My next question is, has anyone actually gotten a reply from the peel support?

No I am from India and even the Tata Sky STB does not work it is from pace and I did get a reply from Peel CC and it was that the software is only available in US currently and will launch ii in other countries shortly
The peel software seems like a nice attempt to bring a remote control to our device, but it lacks on support and devices. Not even satellite receivers are supported.
I wish Logitech would come with an Harmony-like app.
Works just fine with my sony 47" lcd, my at&t uverse dvr, and an old sanyo tube tv... the ui is kinda funky, but it works... controls the volume, channels, etc just fine...

Really? I was under the impression that they had finally started to do some work on the Canadian boxes. Their help forum seems next to dead. And a Logitech app would be great! But honestly I'll settle for a lirc port that has all the buttons for my remote. The guide's a nice feature but it's like basic functionality.
Works on my Panasonic TV (at least On/Off and Source changing)
the Denon Audio On/Off works but nothing else
and Humax isn't supportet at all!
Peel is rubbish here in the UK, it controls my Samsung D8000 by changing channel and volume and thats it. We get no tv guide and other features..
Peel works great with my gear. Dish hopper, Mitsubishi dip tv, pioneer avr. Everything works as it should.
Well it works great with my LCDs both Samsung and LG but does not detect my STB even though the manufacturer is listed I think it can be fixed by an expert as its all of about the frequencies which need to be correct anyway I think thats one sore point about the tab that all other apps are great except this one may be this was intended mainly for the US markets.
Experts is there any other app which can be used
App works great for me on samsung lcd, denon reciever, and direct tv. Stupid problem/question though. My direct tv remote works fine, but i can't find channel buttons. I can manually input the number and change channel, but just no up/down buttons, or any i can find. Im new to this thing, so I could just be missing it. Thanks.

I feel as if there's no community or customer support for this app. Their help forum gets like one post every two weeks.maybe we should all start flooding their forum, in hope that the extra attention will get them to open it up or at the last get some more codes.

Working great here as well.I have it connected to Samsung lcd n model from 2010 vizio brand new led model and it finds all channels on our Motorola dvr cable box from insight cable company.
The remote controller itself sucks does not operate all features of device. Will test it on my old panansonic DVD player soon
In my opinion it's incomplete but nice

I use Google t.v. my galaxy note phone works great as a remote and controls my pioneer tv , A/V receiver and my Shaw cable box. Why would anybody want a remote the size of a galaxy note 10.1?

Oh hello there! Very good post. I however do not have a Galaxy Note. I also do not have Google tv. I have a note 10.1. So using the included peel app is a "fun" option. My logitech harmony 900 is about 100x better though.
But please keep up the outstanding posts.
It's not that I bought my note for the remote functionality. But if I bring it with me when I watch tv I would like to take advantage of all it has to offer.

I also have a galaxy note 10.1! I still don't see why the heck anyone would use this device as a media remote. I am glad you liked my post, it's good to see that sarcasm is alive and well in the retirement home.
OK so your sitting on the couch surfing drawing on your note.
You wanna change channel on the TV.do you sit down the note find the tv remote.change channel put remote back(most likely under couch cushions where they hide).or click 3 times.
Home key peel remote icon. Then your favorite channel thats showing in your screen..OK then back to where you were doing.
The remote is kewl if you already have it in your hand. If your not on the tab standard remote works well.
One more thing finding something new to watch is great with peel if you have it set up right with your cable provider. It shows what's on and when as well as rather its a rerun right in your face quickly and easly. Put some effort into setting it up right you then might find use for it
Imagine this scenario you have TV, home theatre, Blu ray player, STB and what would be more convinient using one tab to do ur work and also the work of 4 different remotes or use four different remotes, the whole idea is not to replace the remote but to given an option its a value addition and considering that its a good addition the whole concept of the not is it can do almost all you daily task in one device

As long as you are in the US... Anywhere else you have a REALLY limited remote control. I can't even get the guide up to see whats on. I have to scroll through each channel. Painful considering this was a big part of the advertising and it doesn't do what was advertised outside the USA...
Brings to mind the Apple Ipad 3 being advertised here in Oz as 4g capable. That's only true in certain countries... Apple got a smack over that and had to pull the false adverts...

I have google tv also- works great. i has issues with the peel app w/o GTV. The remote app with the best options for G TV is Able remote. the Gtv remote app is very limited. I know this is not on topic....sorry.
Also i do agree with Renee that if i am playing on my note 10.1 and want to change the channel i just hit switcher-dont bother grabbing the remote-- b/c mym GTV app is always open if i have the note in my hand--, than change the channel. Also can just hit microphone and voice search for anything - or simply say play led zep and bam google music opens on the TV and plays led zep....

yay... MS approves a game emulator, prepare to see more game emulator on stores.
Now this is a must have!
Installed this last night and was very pleased. It could use a few more settings (such as being able to adjust filters for the video) but it's a great step forward since it's designed for touchscreen use!
thx

But, no support of the gamepad input ?
I tryed with my saitek gamepad (drivers are ok) but nothing append
I hope you Will add This feature in the futur version.

Great to have this app to play my old ROMs. I am using the AfterGlow AX1 x360 wired controller and it works great. The controller auto installed.
Previous galaxy devices have had an IR blaster but it does not have the ability to learn commands. The Lg G flex 2 has the ability to learn commands.
I was sondering if samsung stepped up their game.
Can someone confirm or deny whether the phone has this ability?

Coming from someone that has had a HTC One M7 and LG G3, the IR Blaster is just simple hardware. The ability to learn or the applications it could utilize was based on the software. An app called Smart Remote was able to learn some IR commands when I put it to the test.
I doubt so... I don't even think there's IR support out of the box (you need to download the Peel app for that).

Wrong. The ability to learn commands is not software related, it depends entirely on the IR blaster in the phone (hence the hardware). If the blaster doesn't support learning, no software update or app can change that.

Smart remote can learn. My S5 learned. So yes, it can learn commands.
I think perhaps I did not clarify the question properly
. currently I have the LG G flex 2.
If i point a remote at the phone and press a button.
then the phone can learn the function of that button
does from a separate remote control.
this is especially useful because my car stereo is a piece of ****
It is very limited funtionality without the remote. Which i did not ever have.
My friend has same stereo ironically enough.
I used his remote to teach my phone the essential functions.
the samsung galaxy s5 I had was unable to learn due to hardware limitations
can anyone confirm that the galaxy s6 can learn from other remotes
I've come from the M7 so understand fully what you're asking and can confirm the S6 does not support IR learning.
Indeed it does not learn. I have smart remote and have ACTUALLY tried it. On the up side, the S6 has the best ir blaster I have ever used. You can turn your back to your tv and it still works. I dont have experience with HTCs but my S4, Note 8, and LG G2 all had really weak ir blasters that required dead on aim.
On a side note Smart Remote works with pronto codes so its easy to find ir commands on the web if by some odd chance you have a device that the app doesnt have the codes built in for.
Hi there. Haven't been able to get the IR Blaster functional on my handset at all. There was no app installed on my S6 & all of the Peel Smart Remote apps on google play say they are incompatible so I'm at a loss as to how to try it out. Would you have a link to the app you installed? Many thanks!

How in the world did you get the smart remote app to work with pronto codes? I'm at my wits end trying to figure it out.
No it does not
I have the s6 with smart remote and my s5 had the ability to learn very disappointed because my s6 is amazing but the ir does not have the ability to learn
This is about a Moto G Stylus 2020, but honestly I don't think it matters for this question. When it comes to wireless casting, Motorola says "use a Chromecast" which is fine for the most part. But there are millions of existing devices & TVs that natively support the Miracast protocol without needing a Chromecast dongle.
Does anyone know of a 3rd party app or driver that supports Miracast on Android 11? I believe Samsung phones come with something like this.
I'm just shocked that my Moto phone doesn't support Miracast when my 4 year old Acer tablet with Android 8 can cast to damn near all TVs & devices that have a basic casting option. Feel like I'm missing something.
Isn't miracast an old and deprecated protocol?
Either way, just use any miracast apk which makes your phone the transmitter.

I think your right that they killed the "Miracast" name, but Wifi-Direct as a technology is still thriving as far as I can tell.
So what are the alternatives to Chromecast if you think Miracast & Wifi-Direct is dying? My rebuttle there would be all the TVs in my house & hotels I stay in that support Miracast. Those will be around for a long time.
