It will be nice to have an app that can capture the code from any controller.
The on board application is too limited .
The use it could be for example : to capture air condition controller code so you can control you air condition and make your galaxy the true multi (universal) remote controller.
It will be nice if we can export - share the codes.. :good:
note: if i can i will like to help in development of the app... please p.m.
I had a short test with the light sensor from test mode, this should be possible.
However I'm not a developer.

what do you mean? What test? There must be evidence it can receive IR orders not only transmit them. And to have SDK for sensors, does anybody know if samsung released the SDK for sensors? I read that somewhere but maybe Im wrong and it was about HTC One. THX
open dialer
type *#0*#
choose sensor
choose light sensor
Hold remote next to the sensor and see the values changing.
So I suppose I it possible to record and play back via the IR diode.
There is no explicit IR receiving diode onboard.

if you want SGS4 to learn codes from original dedicated IR blasters (e.g. air conditioning), you need IR receiver in it! For control home electronics you need IR sender (transmiter). So, if it has no receiver, it cannot receive commands and learn, so the only option is to load it from a file or some online code source...undwerstand?
are you crazy? The light sensor is not IR its only for automatic brightness change!!! LOL
there are two IR sensors one above display on the front side for air gestures and one on the top side for the TV, DVD,...control...learn smth about it and read manual!!! Its not a shame LOL
i am not sure but i think that if it isn't a receiver we could use the camera as receiver.
correct me if i'm wrong..
too difficult and complex ...or not possible...somebody has to confirm if it has or doesnt have IR receiver, if so than its only the matter of simple apk...

Did you try what I wrote?

if im not wrong air gesture is nothing but ir receiver right? why not use it for learning function if in case the blaster dosent have ir receiver diode.
It doesn't have to be a receiver (front) for the air gestures to work..it can be a transmiter.
But the front camera hase to be able to read the signal for thr gestures to work ( trasmiter project and camera read the projection that translate to object to complete the gesture)

Yes and what? it only changes the values as you cover it by your hand there is less light to receive and thats all. According to this phone is minimising/maximising the display brightness..very simple principle...useless because it has nothing to do with IR.
It is also able to detect the color of the light received, the only question left over is whether the detection is quick enough to be able to get the full signal out of the IR-signal.

Think you are all flogging a dead horse!
You cannot use the camera to decode IR signals!!! You need a dedicated IR receiver which is something the S4 does not have afaik. I am pretty sure if Samsung had one in there they would have marketed the S4 as a learning remote.
On another note from playing with the S4 I think the IR emitter is pants! It has a very short range and has to be in direct line of site of the receiver on your equipment. You would all be better off purchasing a wifi connected IR emitter and downloading the appropriate app if you are really set on using the S4 to control anything but believe me the novelty will wear off very quickly.
ir Remote
I remember a Symbian software > ir Remote < , to which could be added the codes, also manually from file, of many device...
So, should develop an app or porting to Android...
HTC ONE has it!
Guys, the HTC ONE has the ability to read IR codes from remotes and repeat them with its built-in app. I tested it myself, my bro has one. I have S4 and it would have been nice to be able to do that also. Any updates on this matter?
Cheers!

My first PDA Dell Axim X3 a couple of years ago .....6-7 on Windows Mobile , had an App (don't remember anymore the exact name),
with a learn function. Means I was pushing Power button in the app and the Power Button on the original remote control while the IR from the remote was facing the IR of the Dell. and he learned exact to swich on and off the Digital TV receiver.... and I did the same for all buttons
, volume , programs up and down etc. ..
Do we have also an app like this for IR powered Androids ?
Need IR remote Code
Can someone help me with a IR remote code for an AirCo named Airwell
the remote name is YX1F.
Thank you in advance

Also had this on iPaq rx3715, ten years ago, haha.
guys what about those IR recievers that samsung includes with some tvs (it's an extension if u have something placed in front of tv's main reciever
i think it has a 3,5mm jack so it could go inside the s4/note 3's jack and we can use it to get the codes?
Does anyone know if an app exists that can "learn" IR codes from various remotes? By learn I mean you would point a remote toward the IR blaster on the N3 and hit various buttons, and the phone would learn each button in order to send the signal with its IR blaster.
I have a logitech remote that has gone to crap that had that functionality, but I don't even know if it's possible with the N3.
Anyone have any idea?
TIA!!

I don't believe it's possible. As I've read, that's a function of hardware and not something I'm aware an app or software can accomplish. My HTC One had that function but the S4 I had didn't.
Hi Guys,
Plz help if possible -
I really don't know why I am having all these little issues now used to work perfect untill I updated and latest stock Rom (Taiwan) and latest Ktoonez kernel- , First I had to fix the screen mirroring issue with some tweaks, but now I am having an issue with IR blaster, I am using Smart remote - stock APP, also whatson they both apps work fine as they always did, but when I go to setup my remote its like the TV doesn't detect the IR blast, Its always worked with no issues, I have tried 3 different type of Smart TVs LG & Samsung.... Nothing at all , no response with the TV, I can see the blue light turn on as the IR blaster is working but I don't think its letting out any signals. It Used to work perfect before I updated the ROM and the Kernel.
If anyone can help please advise what I can do.

You should head on over to the Ktoonsez kernel thread. Quite a few users were reporting that they lost IR functionality after updating to the latest version. Not everyone is having the issue so It seems dependent on which rom you're running. I think the only solution at the moment is to use the previous version of Ktoonsez.
Better explanation in this post.
Hey!
When the general lollipop SDK was released, Good mentioned that there is native support for the IR Blaster..
But why isn't it working in any of the lollipop ROMs for us?
I've tried Smart Remote, WatchOn, Peel Smart Remote.. An I confirm they aren't working..
I'm on GearCM right no BTW.
I m facing the same problem. It used to work when I was restating the phone but now it's worse. Can anyone help please.
Reply? Someone?
hello guys i recently bought an htc m9 plus i live in lebanon so we dont have any t-mobile or sprint or any of that
i setup my phone and started using it then i noticed that there was no peel app or tv app
i found some chinnese apps i did not know what they are so i deleted them i didnt even open so i dont know if they where an tv app. anw i downloaded peel it didnt work then downloaded smart ir blaster didnt work and i trired everything hope u guys can help me thank you
Hey dude,
I have peel app out of the box in my M9+ and the IR blaster was workable.
I could setup my M9+ as the TV remote controller.
If yours wasn't,maybe you should call hTC support to check with your device.
