This is not true. The one on the s4 can add more than two. Go into setting on watchon and select add another device. You can also add another room also. I have mine set up with cable tv and onkyo receiver.
You could also try out Touchsquid. It's a Samsung app for the IR Blaster. I've been using the paid version with great success.

Touchsquid is not a Samsung app.
The app name is 'Samsung remote by Touchsquid' and it works amazing the new version is able to go in portrait mode. I've used I only my tab 2 7.0 and S4.

Hi,
I'm quite eager to get the nexus 7. I do have a few questions though. Firstly, I'm planning to use it to word processing and some reports on the way home. The issue I have is that the nexus 7 doesn't have Polaris Office which is what I really want to use. Is there any way to get it and how do the alternativies stack up? Its essentials that I'm able to make and edit word 2007 documents. Secondly, is the screen big enough to do so? It seemed ok to me but just want people's opinions. Thirdly, I've heard its very rooter friendly but lets say I root.. Is it possible to get Polaris Office.. Also, any idea about when the free google play credit offer is till? This is something I really want. Lastly, I've heard there are going to be some keyboard cases for the nexus 7 but is there one already?
Thanks
Sean
Personally I wouldn't dream of using this thing for work. If you want a tab for working too you can't beat the Asus Transformer range in my opinion. This thing is clearly aimed at media consumption and does not lend itself to productivity.
But! That's just my opinion. Yours might differ. My advice is try one out for a couple of hours first. You might hate it, or love it.
You can buy Polaris office can't you? You also could use Google drive

You can't get it on the play store.. Also google drive is for storing stuff.. I need to use my tablet to edit stuff.. I have an S3 which has Polaris office but can't find it anywhere for the gaalxy nexus.. I seriously want it since its a bloody good software and the best out there..
Just look online for the APK or use your Google play store credit when you buy the tablet.

Google docs is built into drive now actually, so yeah you can create stuff and store stuff, as well as edit word documents from your pc

I haven't tried any office suites to edit things on the run, but I do use it regularly through the Citrix Receiver connection to our work servers, and that works well, so, unless you need larger DPIs or anything like that, it will be fine for business stuff.
Unfortunately, it seems that Polaris Office is licensed as OEM only on certain devices. So we cant provide any links to apks or anything, as it would be classed as warez.
Check out this thread h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085173 (Sorry, still cant post links), it compares the different Android office apps.

With a BT keyboard the Nexus 7 would work fine for editing documents. I'd suggest checking out Google Drive before purchasing a suite of office software, though. Give it a go on your PC and phone, see how it works for you and make a decision from there.

What's that suppose to mean? Why don't you use google play store? There's lots of free apps on there. The play store is the best feature of android. Also asking for pirated sites are against forum rules.

Just pull the apk from your S3 and move it to other devices. Profit.
I'm pretty sure I have polaris office backed up in titanium backup from my flyer, as I backed up everything, copied it to my PC, then wiped so I could send it off to the eBay buyer. Dunno how well it would work though as the flyer was honeycomb

How exactly would I do that? Sorry but I've only had android for 2 weeks lol.
Thanks

Well you'll need root access on your s3 to do it. Obtaining root is different on every device so you'll have to check the s3 forums for info on how to do that and then you'll need a file explorer such as root explorer to access the files. You'll need to navigate to system/apps and the apk file will be in there. Talk the mount button on top of the screen to mount the folder and read / write, then copy it, paste it in your sd folder, and then plug the s3 in the PC, pull the file off, and then copy it on to your sd card on your nexus 7. Disconnect, make sure "install from unknown sources" is checked in settings, and navigate to the file using a file explorer, tap on it and it should install it like any other app

So far I basically use this thing as a web browser, twitter reader and forum crawler.
Of course I rooted, themed, installed new kernels, bricked it, brought it back to life, and now I'm back to stock rooted.
So what else can this thing do? I bought a USB dongle thinger but I don't like watching movies on the small screen (I get headaches easy). Give me some ideas?

Have you tried alternate ROMs? If not, I'd recommend Paranoid Android. It's smooth, fast, stable, and it allows you to choose between phone, phablet, and tablet mode for every app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800268
If PA isn't your style, try Slimbean or Cyanogenmod 10.
There are a lot of ROMs out there to mess around with.

How about getting tablet mode by installing ROM Toolbox Lite and changing the DPI from 213dpi to 160dpi?

Games, news, geocaching (tether it to your phone via bluetooth), use it as a GPS on your bike/car if you have one (I use my phone for now, and you can cache the maps before hand too, so no data connection needed), control your DSLR camera if you have one, setup an andruino system/project and use the N7 as a remote, use it as universal remote in your home (friend is doing that w his Galaxy Tab 2 7"), etc.

I don't know if you are into reading books, but ever since I got the N7, I've started downloading and reading ebooks (not through Google Books tho). Prior to that, the last time I actually read a fictional book was years ago. After I finish my current series, I'm thinking of downloading Wattpad.

Check to make sure your DirecTV box isn't set up to use RF instead of IR.

No, the version on the play store was NOT for the s4. It wasn't compatible ( not sure about now, however, i said that a while back and things could have changed by now. ). The version that was already on the phone worked fine as i said already as well. ( where i admitted to being blind and not seeing it already loaded on the phone )

Hello guys,
I would love to try the developer ROM's again, but will not go there again until I find a replacement for this fantastic feature in the Samsung SGS4 phone.
There seem to be no apps in the market that shoot simultaneous video from both cameras and superimpose them in a nice soft-edged oval... a REALLY cool feature for parties/events where I want to be seen too...
Any apps I may have missed?

I had a device that was compatible to purchase. After installing apk I purchased it and had a valid license to download obb files. So put simply install 3rd party apk from trusted source. Install it. Confirm you can at least get to game download window. Then purchase app through a Internet browser. It worked for me can't see why it wouldn't for other devices with similar hardware.

Full desktop browser. Don't matter if you do it from your phone laptop or destop. I did it from my phone. But if you don't have another device that is compatible it might not let you purchase but idk because I have multiple devices. If not their are multiple ways to fake device if you are rooted. If you don't want to root login with your account information on a compatible device buy it and log out. I've already confirmed it will work on the U.S. Galaxy Note 3.
