Got to http://findmymobile.samsung.com to use the samsung anti-theft
If you samsung account is configured on your device, you shouldn't need anything else.

I9500 rooted Avoid PIN request when activesync enabled dye to exchange account

I just added an exchange account to my I9500 because I really need it but its a waste of time and I don't really like to use the PIN MANDATORY security.
Does anyone know how to avoid this requirement? I remember I installed a zip in my old SGS2 an it solved the problem, now I'd really appreciate avoiding it in my S4.
Thanks!:thumbup:

Use Touchdown from the Play Store. It's excellent and will solve your problem

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 ?

I haven't tried with mine cause it's not working since last week (yeah I keep forgetting to fix it). Will report in this thread later if you want.

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

I like Google Keep

I hope that Google will eventually update Keep to allow writing/drawing directly with the stylus

IR app besides the Lg one

Does anyone know of an IR app that will work other than the LG one ? Im running CM but I would love to have the remote function back. Thank you

IR is not just an app. It needs to be supported in the framework first.

I'm wondering about this too. Would Unified Remote work since it has IR functions now? I may just buy it and check because it's a great app regardless but if anyone knows of an alternative that does work with CyanogenMod I'd like to hear about it.

Read above, no IR app is going to work on any AOSP ROM at this point.
That's unfortunate. Back to stock I go then.

Doesn't the HTC One Google play edition have an IR remote app? (that is a question. I don't know)
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The HTC One Google Play edition does have an IR blaster app, but as stated previously no app can fix this - it is something that needs to be added into CM first.

The only thing I can suggest is aosp doesn't have drivers/libs/framework for IR support.
Correct me if this isn't totally correct but as I see it, Aosp is basically the bare bones android without all the bells and whistles that official Samsung TW rom hence why IR doesn't work.
