I can find nothing on the ir blaster. I am using the Samsung Verizon Note 3. This is supposed to be a feature of the phone. Did Version block it out am I just not finding it?

Look for an app, perhaps in the Samsung folder called WatchON?
Yes, WatchOn is the stock app for using the IR Blaster. After setup it will let you control your devices with a remote icon in the top right corner of the screen.
If you look up top your phone and see a little black dot in the right side you have the ir blaster but I wouldn't recommend the watch on app, look up for the Smart IT Remote Samsung/HTC app on the play store it's just worth it, i have configured more than ten controls and controls like my DISH one aren't supported by the watch on app

Great advice, Thank you.
I couldn't find it because I disabled watch on when I first got my phone because I didn't know what it was. Next time I won't be so stupid.

Yea, you need to use WatchON or a different app.
I ditched WatchON, as it kept running even if I didnt use it. (also, the puns were starting to become too irritating.)
Plus it only works for tv, and the media guide only works in the US. Where at least 750 million of us are not.
Swapped it for this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy
This controls everything with an IR reciever, even my DSLR and the lights.

Have never used it...I believe you can call a person with the same device..while on the call..you both hit the chat an whola...I could be wrong...sounds good though
Anyone..rebuttal?
I have that option as well. Doesn't work for me. I've only tried calling through a few different carriers, one AT&T (stock GS3) the other being Verizon (HTC DNA, custom ROM unknown which one). Both failed to call after what seemed like an attempt. I'm on Golden Eye 3.0 with KT kernel.

My best guess is it is the SAME as when I ran custom ROMs on previous Galaxy Series phones with ported from international series firmware. We would have the video call button but ATT doesn't allow video calling so it never worked. It is something that ATT blocks so it will never work. You can find threads in the Galaxy S2 I777 threads and Galaxy S1 Captivate threads on how to remove the video call icon from the .apk's and resize the layout so it doesn't have the icons out of shape/place. Unfortunately until ATT let's us call over data it will never work.

Unfortunately since it is NOT built into our phones firmware automatically (removed/changed thanks to ATT firmware) we could not use the same tactics the iPhone people used and have it cleared for use.
But there are other apps that we can use from the play store and have video over cellular signal. But the catch is you have to be rooted and use something like gTalk enabler or change a setting in the build.prop for it to work. You can try apps like Google Talk/Hangouts, Skype, Tango for video calling over the cell signal. I have used Google Talk and Tango.

Will the Note 3 come with these application like the S4 already has?
Im sure it will. If it doesnt, you can get watchon from the market and s-healthbfrom the samsung app store.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
You certainly can get Watchon in the market https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.peel.samsung.app I had to look it up since I didn't have my GS4 long enough to actually use it. Seems like a really cool app.
Being that I came from both the S4 and One, I've found myself completely clueless with this phone as to what's on tv and which channels. Both of those phones had apps that controlled the IR blaster and included a tv guide-like app. Do we not have anything like that? I've been looking and just find the remote app.

Damn. I was afraid of that. It amazes me that they did not include something similar to compete with them. I'd like to get more attention drawn so we can find an app, have one made, or make our voices heard by LG.

Sadly it doesn't... But at least it has the guide and I can touch the show I want to watch and it takes me right to it.
they put no effort into the blaster. it's angle is absolutely awful and the htc one and gs4 kill it. if you're one inch off from the direction of the IR in the device, it won't work. it's absolutely terrible... so it doesn't surprise me the software sucks.

I definitely noticed the same thing. I can't seem to figure out what or why it is that way. The One had the best IR blaster in my opinion. I enjoyed it's bundled app more than the S4's too.

I would use this to free ram from task manager with one click how cool would that be what would you use yours to do?
either nobody is imterested or they all have one on order lol
I have a green Kickstarter Edition of Pressy on order. It won't ship for a few months still. But yes I don't see any reason it wouldn't work its designed to work with the app they are writing for it.

Green one here too.
I don't know how I'll use mine, I backed them up because it was a good idea
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Will work
Hey jutley, RaptorMD and IIIPowerIII, thanks for backing our project! The kickstarter edition is gonna be awesome
About your question - yes, Pressy will work on the note 3.
Geva Tal,
Pressy Team.
I've backed as well. Great idea.
I would use mine for
Task killer
Discreet camera
Shortcut to group me app for work
And to keep lint and junk out of my headphone jack since I NEVER use the jack. I use Bluetooth headphones
And other uses
Great idea !!
Just commenting to say I backed as well.. Can't wait for it to come out.
I will probably mostly use it to open the camera app
Its really an innovative solution that will allow for some many different functions. I know I will set one "pressy" function to call my wife so I don't have to set a speed dial.
I have a black one on order. Probably going to use it to turn on torch and camera.
So its time for a lil bump
Who received their pressy?
I love mine, the quality is great. I don't have any issue at all on my Nexus 5, Galaxy S5 and Note 3. Everything work perfectly.

Trying to use it is also kind of a pain, I find myself having to really aim at the sensor location on the TV to get it to work.
I guess it's ok though since I don't plan on using this since I have my TV remote. To me, it's just a nice-to-have thing in case my TV remote ever craps out or gets lost.
