It will detect and do it on setup. Mine did anyway. I have Comcast and it ask about on setup. Try adding room and trying setup again or wiping data/cache then try. I love this application I keep finding my self shutting off TVs everywhere lol. Everything from McDonald's menus to TVs at wall mart lol good luck

I messed with WatchOn for a couple of weeks when I first got my phone. But I'm kind of over it now. The functions on the phone to control the device are just not adequate. Like an overly simple $3 remote from WalMart or something. They could have put so much more functionality in there. All I can figure is Samsung wants to do some data mining on what you are watching, but they're going to have to build a better product to get me to use it anymore.

If you want a fully-featured remote app, I've heard good things about the Smart Remote for Galaxy S4 app.

With the recent update it is so much better

I know sky are testing on the jellybean build, but am getting fed up waiting

We waited years for their Sky Go app on Android. Sadly, it's a flop. They didn't allow rooted devices and only a selected few could use it...

Yes,I went through that, with hide root, etc etc, I can't believe it's taking this ling to sort out.

Backing up and restoring it on another tab 2?

Hi. I've rooted installed a new ROM and heaps of stuff added to my tab 2. I've noticed it has a black pixel so I guess its dead. I've had it for 3 days so was gonna take it back to BigW and see if I can get a replacement it doesn't bother me unless there's white then it sticks out like dogs nuts. If I back it up can I simply restore it to my new one when I get it?
Thanks for help.

Eye gesture?

For some reason I cannot get the eye gesture to work for scrolling Web pages any suggestions? Is there a distance you have to keep your fave from the screen?

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE WHOLE LOOK AWAY PAUSE WORKING ON THIS PHONE?!?!?!?! Since day one I've been trying to get that to work and nothing....not one single time did that damn feature work....
I hope I helped @corybucher if so hit the thanks =) lol
P.S. corybucher ........this is in the wrong section...it's supposed to go in Q&A a mod will probably move you soon
believe the look away pause feature is only for the stock video player
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
The look away or "Smart Pause" feature also works in the youtube app. It worked for me without even trying and is definitely a cool feature to show off the s4. Just make sure you enable "Smart Pause" in the settings under settings, my device, smart screen.

Also helps to hole the phone still and level and tilt your whole head just a hair or the phone...

Is there a way to get 4 in1 power tool

As the title says can I get the 4 in 1 tool thats on most roms, the reason I dont want to go to the roms is because I really like a lot of the stock things and the roms take away from it, like I'm on force rom right now, and really like it for the most part, but I dont like how long pressing menu kills current app, and that on lock screen you cant swype right for faviorte apps also, I cant get s health, original home screen clock or watch on, the apk downloads, so if someone can help me figure out a way on this rom, would be greatly appreciated or if someone can help me get the 4 in 1 on stock that would be awesome also, thank you in advance

Yes it is. Click me.
I would reccomend Sonic rom for you then. its fully stock with some things tweaked so if you wish to remove some apps some annoyings ones are moved to /apps section from /system and it has the 4 n 1 power tool.

it doesn't kill apps when long pressing menu? I also like having a good majority of the samsung bloat, just not the sprint stuff

I'm on "blue kuban" and it kills on long press for me.

[Q] does watchon work for anybody??

I thought it would be kind of cool, so I went through the programming and set it up for my LG V and my time warner high def cable box.
Everything seemed to work, but now all it will do is change the channel on the box. The volume doesn't work, and if I go to turn off the TV it comes up with a screen asking which device I want to control but won't let me select either one.
I'm using it on a Samsung tv and a Comcast set top box, and it's working great for me.
ILO tv & comcast box. works great.
Lg and Panasonic tvs, both with com cast boxes are a no go.

Comcast box and Hisense tv, working.
Also have tvs at work, LG, all working (Around 10) with the same code sent on one of the tvs.
Pretty happy with this as now I can control my work TVs without having to fumble around with remotes.
Two different Samsung TV models & two FIOS Multi-Room DVR's...all working great. Volume doesn't work, but that's because it's controlled by my surround sound system.
Mine's the same way. Got cable working but now no volume.
It works with my LG TV. I have a Comcast X1 and am able to change channels, but a lot of other buttons like menu and DVR don't work. Going to give the setup another go tomorrow.

I actually disabled it. I never used the app but apparently it was running in the background and I kept getting force close messages.
I can get everything to work beside the volume on my Demon AV receiver. I can get it to turn on and off but not the volume. Can anyone give me advice on doing this?

Try again man but this time instead of picking comcast for the brand of set top box, go to other brands and scroll to find the actual company who made the box. For example I have comcast xfyinity cable as well and my 1st set up failed selecting "comcast" as the brand so I looked at my receiver and it was made by Scientific Atlantic or some shat like that lol. But it worked choosing it that way. Hope this helps u?
