No worky. You can only add blue ray or dvd player, tv, cable boxes, media stream but no sound bar.

Turn off WiFi notification

Is there any way to turn off the wifi message in the ongoing section of the drop down menu, when you are connected to a network? I can't find a way to disable it and its taking up precious space on my bar.

I beleive he's talking about the notification in the pull down menu that shows the wifi he's currently connected to, not the open network notification.
It bugs me too. I don't think we can take it off.

[q] how to set up watchon in the uk

Guys, just got my s4... went straight to watchon as its new...
I click region and nothing happens??
My Region is uk, it progresses if i click usa by asking my postcode but obviously thats no good for me.
Can you help?
Try closing the app and restarting. I havent had that issue so could just be temperamental. I also hope you don't have Virgin media Tivo as it doesn't work yet.

Its like that on my tivo but not the v hd box... Strange really.
Have u tried using zeebox via wife etc... Works much better.

Working here with both TiVo and V+ without issue. Love the multi room feature
I could not get my Tivo to work with the stock settings,, so i had a play,, think i lucked out, cause i got it to work perfectly with the settings for "telewest" set top box.

Ir blaster

Just wondering what other devices you guys are using your note 3 to control. I didn't even know you could use it for things other than a TV. In the xda YouTube video review of the note 3, the reviewer mentioned he was using his note to control the camera he was using to record.

It can control anything that uses IR to receive signals and messages.
How can you use it for other things? Only options in the watch on app are Tvs and top boxes

What would you like it to do?
Of course, I use it with:
My TV's
My Dish Sets
My Projector
My Nikon
And right now I'm in the works of making my garage door work as well.
PD. I recommend using the smart remote app instead of the watchon one.

What app are you using ?
This small addon is one of the major reasons I will upgrade from note 2. Anyone tried controlling AC ?

Best one I've found so far. Simple and quick.
The Watch On app is the one that came with your phone with a fuscia icon and a tv BUT if your signature is right your phone doesn't have an IR Blaster nor this Samsung app

Just started looking into using the IR and noticed that app you pointed to is on sale this Easter.
I am using this

It works with my TV, BD player, Settop box(Tata sky)

Smart remote app

Anyone know how to get it to work with a sky box before I remove the app from my phone?
Thanks
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
you set it up after the tv, it asks you what you use to receive a signal. if you select set top boy it should give you the option to select BSKYB
Yeah, chose bskyb, then it asked for my TV, but I have one of those no brand tvs and couldn't find it. I only want to control my sky box. Not bothered about TV.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Just sent your tv up as you would and then say it worked it'll allow you to sort your sky box.
That worked. Thanks.

Get the sky+ app it's much better with it. Use smart remote for TV on off only

Yeah I have the sky+ app. I just wanted to see what smart remote was all about.
I like the way the basic remote controls are on the lock screen.

Quickremote learn custom

So... The quickremote app has the option to learn any remote control even if it isn't on the list. Did anyone make it work? Why can't I? If it helps I'm rooted with CloudyFlex.

It depends on the remote and it has to be ir remote, I've succeeded with multiple remotes at home

The black dot on the upper side of the phone is the Ir blaster. Try target it there and you will succeed.
Will try again... Thanks all
