If there any remote control applications that use the IR port to control a tv in universal remote fashion? A bonus would be that it can interface with tv's without setting codes first (like those prank remotes on ebay). Freeware. Any help is always appreciated
I don't think anyone has fuguered out how to use the wizards ir as a remote. Not even the companies who sell ppc remote software last I heard about a month ago.
Try http://www.novii.tv/pocketpc/classic/ (don't know if it works, should probably email them)
I just use my old Palm Pilot with universal remote software OmniRemote to control everything (universal remote was all that thing was good for from the start ), but Navi does look interesting.
The IR port on most of the O2 devices is only good for about 1.5m so they're not really suited for a remote control. I've tried a few app's (all commercial) and none was any better than the others. Apparently HP use stronger IR modules which perform better.

.... Novii don't work for me
hi castravete,
I've try Novii remote (last version) on my Trinity , but no way to get working...
This app run, but my tv don't receive signal...
I think is my Rom (French 2.4.1 rom by FAMAN).
Can other people test this app or other and tell me if is my rom ?
thx for all ;-)
it has a range of like 1m though... fairly useless imo
i've gotten up to 2m range with various htc devices
but the real tricky part is that not being a consumer ir
you have to aim
pointing in the general direction is a no go
Gimmic
Yeah if they could work at a greater distance then that would be good, The only thing I've found them good for is annoying the Currys, Comet and PC world assistants.
'Can I help you sir?'
Yeah is your TV compatible with my PDA?
'Sorry Sir'
Oh it appears it is *taps on Trin screen*
Oh, dvd player as well!
Shocked look from the assistant
I am having issues with Novii on my trinity. It is annoying with these codes, I am wondering if there is a better application for remotes.
the range is too limted, cant remember the one 1 tried (sorry) but it was about 1.5 away from tv
I think it's cause : most of this ROM nowaday is disabled or can't control IR via Commanager (i mean ROM for P3600 nearest...).
So, someone try downgrade ver ROM and test again all this stuff???
So please,someone make it for all.
sorry for my worst english...

Hello, I have got two PDA, HP HX4700 and HTC P3600. Novii remote with the HP 4700 has a range of 15mt the P3600 only 1 mt. The internal codes of noviremote works fine with the HP HX4700 but doesn't works with P3600. The only way to use noviremote with P3600 is use the learning mode for every device, I don't know why.

I use to have a samsung IP 830 from sprint that phone had an amazing remote control application it would be great if someone could hack it like they did with other apps from samsung devices
guys, I would like to remind you that IR Range is a function of your device not the remote control app. IR comm was only mainly developed for device to device communication at close range.
ie iPAQ h2200 IR range is about 6 inches
iPAQ rx3715 IR range is about 10+ FEET
Anyone been able to fine a remote control app for the 6800? Just something that (preferably) uses IR and can control my laptop with Vista MCE installed? I tried many different remote control apps and haven't got 1 to work, none of them so far are compatible.
IR is almost useless unless you're very close to the device... so close, in fact, that it would be easier to actually use the device you're trying to control.
There are many apps that can be used over bluetooth or over IP (which are both far better than IR).
There was an article I read about this once from Pocket PC mag which went into detail on this subject, and lists all the options. I don't have the exact address, but if you look around you should find it.

Really, have they lowered the IR power in recent devices? I used to run a remote control app in my e330 Toshiba Pocket PC and it worked better than the real remote I had. Even worked from a room away... I'd change the channel and my roomates wouldn't know what was hitting them... since they were sitting on the couch with the remote .

The ir in my treo 600 only worked from 3 feet away. That was a waste of time. Haven't even thought about rc programs since. Like Dishe said, if you're that close, you might as well just use the buttons on the front of the device; or use the original remote.
i've been looking for a remote control ir program that can control tv, dvd player, etc. with a 6800. but no luck yet, anybody know of one?
Buy a Universal Remote
remote
i too have been looking for a program i could use as a remote control, i had novii on my 6700 and it worked great (fun messing with the guys at the fire station) but i haven't been able to get anything to work on the 6800!
im interested in this too.... hmmm keep me posted
I think I found the software you were looking for while browsing a different forum.
Its call NoviiRemote

novi remote doesnt work for the 6800. well not for me. But i havent tried the deux version. But it gave me an error about ir not being present or something.
has anyone tried this software?
http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/display_product.jsp?id=prod5670730
I just haven't had much time to play with it
Noviremote works real well if you have the sd card antenna
Otherwise it's a waste of time. Now if Moviremote could come up with a new MICRO SD card slotted antenna...
Indeed,
Novi Doesn't Work, Neither Does Vito Remote
it says "Device has unsupported processor: MSM7500-400Mhz"
so i rly think theres something different about the 6800/mogul's IR that the programs are not yet compatible with :-(
Theres another program ive tried on the 6800 as-well, that didn't work....
though the name of the prgram escapes me @ the time.
try NetRemote.. Haven't tried it yet on my 6800, but worked like a champ on my Axim x51v
I've tried VNC, Niveus PocketRemote, novi, PPC Tablet, none of them run or run well.
i'm going to try rudeo tonight
haven't tried highpad Media Control
Found one maybe
I was able to install this on my Titan and it seems to work but have not yet seen it work since I can't find my tv codes - but at least it seems like it might work. It does not "learn" codes from other remotes unfortunately (unless I missed something) but if you can determine the code for your TV it just might work.
Please let me know if you can get this to actually control a device from your Titan
Thanks for this! This is the one thing I miss from my Palm days. heck when the dog ate my $100 remote I was able to go to a store, learn all of the custom codes for my Home Theater and have all of it workin again. Univiersal remotes never to stuff like allow you to change CDs in a 3cd player and other stuff like that even if you try all of the pre-programed choices for that vender...
Please keep us up to date with your findings. I'm gonna try that Nevo cab.

I have transfered files from my Titan to another Titan from up to six feet away so the IR is not really that weak, from what I have read at another thread is the IR on the Titan the uses a different technology, so honestly it doesn't looks good I spend a good time researching on this and another forums with no luck.
I know there are more than a few threads about this specific topic, but most of them are outdated, and none fits this purpose.
I have an WM 6.5 updated Rhodium, which I would like to use as an multimedia remote for my Windows 7 PC....
What I want in a remote control
Uses touchscreen (and possibly g-sensor)
Can control WMP, VLC, PowerPoint, and maybe Media Center
Uses bluetooth
As far as possible, a touch-friendly interface

BT Remote Control (by Jérôme LABAN)
http://www.jaylee.org/RemoteControl/
Great remote, used it alot on my old TyTN II.... but! It doesen't support the touchscreen, which means you have to use the keyboard every time... If this app had proper touchscreen support, it would be perfect. Unfortunately the last update is from March 2008, and it doesen't seem he updates anymore...
GRemote
Gremote homepage
Seems cool, especially the thing about using g-sensor for joystick. Unfortunately, the installation doesn't work for me. I do not know if it is Windows 7, my phone (didn't work on 6.1 either), or the program itself that is malfunctioning. I cannot get proper connection, and the client is stalling... alot.
Are there any other alternatives?
Hi, have a look in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574593
We are trying to get as many contributors as possible at the moment.
hey, I was trying the watchon app that comes with the phone, it's cool, and it works with my tv and some other things, but kinda hard to make it work with projectors, and also, can't control other stuff, like my air conditioner, stereo, etc.
so what you guys think is the best IR remote control app?
something with more kinds of devices, or maybe one that can learn controls? (not sure how it works.)
thanks in advance
i have tested a few in a hunt for an app that can control my decoder, and i havent found any yet.
but for my tv i use ZaZa Remote, i would apreciate any recommadations myself.
but AFAIK the s4 in itself isnt able to learn IR codes, but i think you can buy an ir dongle for some of the apps which are capable of learning commands.
I am looking for a remote desktop solution, like LogMeIn or TeamViewer that doesn't require me to do any detailed configuration.
The problem is that LogMeIn, for example, won't treat my Note 3 phone as a tablet, so I can't use the mouse like a normal mouse. (The settings for mouse are "move mouse" and "move screen", but there is no direct mode available for phones to use a mouse like a regular mouse.)
My device is a Verizon Android 4.4 KitKat Samsung Note 3 phone (unfortunately rooting is not an option for me), and I am using it with the Note 2 dock with an external monitor and wireless usb keyboard/mouse. Everything works great except I can't find a good remote desktop solution that will allow me to work "normally" in terms of the mouse.
I also have Win 8 Home version on my desktop PC and do not want to configure port forwarding and a fixed ip to solve rotating external IP address assignments. (Please excuse me if I didn't say that correctly, but the point is that I really don't want to deal with those kinds of complexities.) Yes, I realize that I may have too many constraints - don't want configuration challenges (which I think rules out VNC or standard RDP), and also no rooting of the phone. But I am willing to pay a small monthly subscription, e.g. I looked at PocketCloud with $5/month, but that doesn't seem to support my requirement either from a quick look at the manual.
Is there anyone who can suggest a good solution for my needs?
Have you tried the google remote desktop? It's free. I've been pretty impressed with it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought about that because it was relatively new. But I may try it (after some more reading). Unfortunately, it doesn't look good for external mouse support. Here's one review...
Review from Jim Fox
Great, but no external mouse support I have been using Splashtop for a while now, but was super excited to use this when I saw it come on the play store. The problem I have is that when I take remote control of my computer, I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The program works like a trackpad to control the remote mouse with touch, which is great when you don't have an external mouse, but makes it near impossible to control when you do. You have to hold the right mouse button down in order to move the remote mouse and then click with the left. Near impossible to use. Please fix.
-----
On the other hand, the comments make me wonder if I should try LMI and TV again with an external trackpad instead of a mouse. I wonder if that behavior might be better?
