Note 7 IR Blaster

Can the IR emitting light that's built for the iris function be used by apps like the Note 4 IR blaster could? (Specifically I'd like to know if we can use the Note 7 with Galaxy Universal Remote "
Isn't it the same type of light, and isn't it the same technology?
Is there an IR hardware quasi-expert that can weigh in on this?
No expert here. But sounds like a slim chance. "No IR blaster, sorry": http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note7-review-1478p2.php under "Unboxing... "
But by all means let us know if anyone learns otherwise. IR blaster is the only reason I'm not upgrading... I use it too much on my N3
it has an IR light emitter for the iris scanner camera. But i tried the app (galaxy universal remote) today and it said this device has no IR blaster.

It's likely not going to happen. Just get the harmony hub and use wifi to send it a signal, which has an app for your phone, if it's for your home or business. Otherwise, RIP ir blaster; I know this is not the news you want to hear but sadly it's the one people will get :|

Will cheap eBay USB dab adaptor work with Joying?

Hi guys,
I just bought a new Joying 2gb HU with buttons. I'm thinking of adding dab radio and on joying website the adaptor is $80 but I can get one on eBay for $5-$10.. That's a pretty big difference in price for basically the same thing.
Something like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/142202102357
Can anyone verify if these will work with the HU?
These cheap SDR adapters do not work with the DAB app that is preinstalled on Joying units.
Only Wavesink app works with these SDR Adapters.
I tested both variants and I sticked with the Joying adapter and the preinstalled app.
SDR = Software Defined Radio
So just to verify, yes they do work provided I download another app but this isn't the best option and if I want it to work best then I should go with the joying adaptor?
Yes, I did a comparison of
Wavesink app + SDR adapter
vs
Joying app + Joying DAB adapter
regarding usability and reception and audio quality.
Joying has won.
Dodgy reception

Hi,
I have a Joying head unit (about 3 years old) and Joying USB DAB adapter bought in June 2017.
The reception has always been a bit patchy where I live but perfect where I work.
I have now bought an active antenna from ebay.
This antenna now provides good reception where I live but where I work it drops in and out from 5 bars to nothing.
I have been following the signal quality and near work when it drops out, the value fluctuates wildly up to 1200 (480, 1000, 700, 1280, etc).
When its working as expected the signal quality value is 40-70.
Is it possible that there is now too much signal ??
I have been using the modified app from July 2018, would it make a difference to upgrade to the App store version?
Thanks

Asus ROG Phone

So it seems that now, 7 years after the Xperia Play, that gaming phones are starting to really become a thing. Razer released a "gaming" phone with a super fast display. Motorola released a gamepad mod for the Z line. There have also been a couple others like the Nubia Red Magic and Xiaomi Black Shark, but only the Black Shark has attempted to add any gaming controls to a "gaming" phone, and it was basic at best. Now Asus is jumping into the game and they have the most powerful phone yet!

But not only are the specs high, but it's also set to have a slew of accessories. The main one being a GameVice to give it full gamepad controls. There's a TV mirroring accessory and a desktop dock. There's also a sort of dual-screen handheld accessory, but that will require developer support to take off. There's even a fan cooler accessory. Plus the phone itself has a couple of touch buttons on the edges that can be mapped to work as virtual buttons. All things considered, this looks like the most interesting of the "gaming" phones thus far and potentially a spiritual successor for the Xperia Play, even if the gamepad isn't integrated.

Im really hype for this one. ROG phone will be my next gaming device after Nokia N-Gage QD and Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY
ok nice and all but still lacks integrated gamepad if i have to carry 2 devices anyway i´ll take my phone and my 3ds..sorry asus, nice try
I see all the other accessories, but the only one I want is the controller. Not the two screens, or the dock, or the tv mirroring...but that controller that grips from the sides horizontally. It's awesome!!!
I agree with your assessment OP, this was the first phone I really saw as a successor to the xperia play. Such a shame it has taken this long.
The thing about the GameVice gamepad is that it's been around for awhile for both iPhone and Galaxy phones. This is the first "gaming" phone to use it, but not the first phone. So if that's all you're looking for, you could get an older model for a much more popular (and at this point, affordable) phone.
While I would love to see another integrated gamepad, I don't feel like that's going to realistically happen. I think some sort of accessory dock or case will be the way it goes. As long as the gamepad portion is easily portable and pocketable, I'm okay with it.
EDIT:
Unless you live in China where Snail still releases gaming phones with gamepads from iReadyGo. There's another that came out last year:

Hmm. All I had seen prior was iphone lightning port connected controllers. Thanks for putting that on my radar!
While shopping around it appeared that in searching for a one-fits-all solution there weren't hardwired controllers for android.

Android Head unit recommendations

Hi i'm looking for an android head unit for my vauxhall zafira 2010. I would like it to have BT so that I can make and answer calls handfree, connect to my phone with bluetooth to play music. I would also like to use it for sat nav and to be able to cast my phone screen to it with android auto would be fantastic too. I have been reading these forums for a few days now and I have quite a few reviews but I am unable to find a comparison thread or a recommendations thread that lists the more popular models?
I am based in the UK and would like to buy one that has good support and a good amount of support from the community. I have been looking at pumpkin and Atoto A6 pro would either of these be ok? Are they a bit overkill for my needs? I want it to be reliable and the less buggy the better.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
One vote for ATOTO A6 Pro
I recently purchased and installed the ATOTO A6 Pro into a Subaru. The ATOTO user manual is not at all well written, and this can lead to frustration during the install (that was my experience). When I did have troubles, I found their technical support to be responsive and helpful. I chose ATOTO Pro over the Pumpkin based on the HW components they use. MediaTek SoC is much better than PX5 or other SoCs IMO. The IPS display on ATOTO is great, with brilliant color across a very wide field of view. Overall, I'm happy with the build quality of the ATOTO.
