[Q] Does the note 3 has all-in-one ir port? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everyone
does the note 3 has all-in-one remote like on the lg g2? like can you use it to control devices not included in the main app? lg g2 can do this because it has ir signal reader (i think its called this way), so can you confirm that the note 3 has this feature?
thanks

i do believe so ive got ,tv,sound system ,hifi,dvd,sky,and more

I disabled WatchOn and installed Smart IR Remote. I can control anything with an IR transceiver. (Provided the right protocol is included in the app.)
So yes, you can.

ShadowLea does Smart IR Remote allow to learn IR-protocol from the original RC if the IR-code is not in the library?

No it has no learn function. I was communicating with the developer of this app and they haven't found a way to implement that (yet).

I have tried famous brands like Mitsubushi, Mcquery, Gree. None works.

Air conditioners tend to send ALL settings every time. so the IR program nees to be able to send "macro" IR signals..
Its a bit like morse code
for instance, a TV "Power On" might be ---...
channel up might be --.-
and air conditioner will use "power on" as ---.--.-------....---...--------...---.--.----.--..---.---.--.--.--
Which would translate to something like "Power on, 23deg C, Cool, Swing, Quiet mode, turn off in 3 hours"
it makes it harder to program, but its still do-able.

Configure/force android beam to use wifi direct instead of bluetooth?

I love the concept behind android beam: sharing videos, pictures with other nfc phones , nfc enables the connection between the devices and then the transfers are made via BLUETOOTH wth google, is ridiculously slow , so samsung knew better and they making the transfers via wifi direct halleluhjah! the horrible thing is that they named their sharing service sbeam (like we need more branding) and its only for galaxy s phones with ioswiz, i mean touchwiz is there a way to make android beam on the nexus work only with wifi direct (like samsung does) ?
someone have a Galaxy S phone we can just rip the apk from maybe? seems like the simplest solution??
then it's just a question of dropping the apk on both devices and giving it a test... no ?? I'de be game. not really put the beam to good use yet !
IMO... Google needs to address this for if it is not on every wifi direct compatible device, what good is it?
"I made a video for you. OK, here... wait... ummm, go to http://whatapainindieass.com and download the apk and sideload it. Are you done yet? Ok I'll wait. How 'bout now?"

No, in order to use sbeam you NEED to have touchwiz, thats what i read :crying:
Guess there's no app yet that does this :crying:

There are a couple of apps that will do this, albeit without being initialized by nfc. Search for wifi direct or WiFi shoot.
I agree that such an app would be extremely useful. It would be nice to use NFC to set up a Bluetooth or (even better) Wi-Fi connection between two devices to transfer files.
Some app that runs on all NFC devices (not just Samsung branded ones) would be extremely useful.

[Q] LG Quickwindow tweaks/apps

Hello, I was wondering if there are some possible evolutions, of any kind that would be possible in order to do anything more with LG G2's Quickwindow.
While it seems to have produced rather mixed reviews, I like it and get feeling from the sole 3 screens available, that there could be a lot of potential to such feature, if only it were open.
Has anyone tried to add watchfaces, or to display notifications (sms/e-mail), to add features (shuffle/repeat) to the music screen, or even to create custom screens? I'd love it if this feature were to be expanded to something more than just a cool way to answer calls...

That seems to be a decent workaround, but it looks very time-consuming; i'll probably wait for a true opening of the the quickwindow app, if it ever comes
Haha I just accidentally found a function. In quickwindow mode push and hold volume down for 3 seconds (it should open camera)

Here is a post on the LG developers forum( click Mobile Forums>General, First post), that shows the code needed to utilize the quickwindow feature. No SDK ever apparently, but this may be helpful. Also posted today is this which shows that QCircle will get an sdk, so maybe we can use that and change the sizing and shape? I am not a developer, just an interested party, so let em know if this helps or not.

AirView with fingers?

How to activate AirView to work with fingers like on Note 3?
I also miss that feature especially with speed dial. I couldn't find the option anywhere. It seems to be no longer available
It only works with s pen
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app
Yes ok, work only with pen but... It's an hardware limitation or just only software?
Seems like hardware to me. When you 'hack' into the hidden settings and enable air view it still doesn't work.

hi ,
there is a thread here " somewhere " ? (Note 4 forum, sorry can't find link at moment )
Best to find it hidden deep in settings is to use a launcher eg. Nova launcher
i tried to activate it ..Nova launcher /long press home screen /select shortcut /activities ..settings select airview (finger)
etc .
i could only get air browse to work 100%( waving above pictures in stock pictures app etc) and accept air call (by waving hand over stock call screen ( ,see screenshot for info)
but still struglling to sort out air finger to work .!
good luck
If you enable ALL the airview tags. Even the one that lists nothing, but still has a toggle switch. Then it does work with your finger, like in the email and message app. However, this stops working as soon as you switch off the screen!? One of the airview tabs causes the settings to crash. I'm sure it's not a hardware issue. Someone will incorporate it all in a sweet rom soon enough. Hopefully indie over at omega rom!

No Self-Capacitive sensor
Hello.
I am sorry to say this, but Samsung removed the self-capacitive touch screen layer from the Galaxy Note 4, because it was used very rarely.
They did not think, that there must be users, that still use this.
Well, power users are only a minority, so they must satisfy minimalists.
developer[dot]sonymobile[dot]com/knowledge-base/technologies/floating-touch/
As a Junior Member, I am unable to parse links. Please forgive me for this inconvinence
The Note 3 was the only one to have three touch screen layers:
Wacom Digitizer (S-Pen)
Normal (Mutual/Multi)-Capacitance
Self-Capacitance (AirTouch)
I hope this helped (Probably not)

Not to forget:
<span title="tooltips> are not supported by Air Views. I wish they were.

Does anyone know anything about Mirrorlink?

It seems like Samsung has included it in the Note 4, but there isn't an app available for it or something.
dont need an app. it just works with your existing hardware like miracast. basically duplicates note 4 video and audio to your car mirrorlink system.

That uses a DriveLink app, which isn't working with the Note 4.
yes like i said you dont need an app. MirrorLink v1.0 needed a gateway app installed in order for it to talk to your radio however v1.1 has this built in. the note 4 has v1.1.
you dont need an app. really.

Samsung Gear Sport (or S3) compatibility with 6t

I have a 6t and love it and looking to add a smart watch . I really a leaning towards the Samsung Gear Sport (or possibly an s3) over a Wear OS watch. I'm concerned over compatibility with it being a non Samsung phone and certain functionality not working . The main things i'm wondering about is SMS messages, Call info, email coming to the watch. The compatibility page for the Sport shows not compatible with non-samsung android for messaging specifically but i've read others say they had luck w/ it. (although i'm not certain if thats w/ the S3 or Sport). I'm curious if anyone w/ a 6 or 6t has had any experience w/ the Gear Sport (or s3) w/ those features specifically.
Beyond that the big things i am wanting to use is standalone GPS and offline music but dont think i'd have an issue w/ that
any feedback would be awesome! thank you!
i have 6t and gear s3. it works like any other android phones.
havent had any issue yet.
Awesome thank you. So if you get a text or email can you read it on the watch and reply? Incoming call info good too? I wonder if the same works on the sport too since it shows slightly different info on it's compatibility chart compared to the s3

yes, yes and yes
everything works as it should. I have S3 and absolutely no problems pairing and using it with 6T
Everything works as expected
I changed my S8 for an 6T and I don't have any problems with my Gear Sport. If you didn't bought a watch yet, I would suggest to go for S3, as Gear Sport doesn't have a mic and a speaker. Not heaving a speaker means that the watch will not ring on i coming calls and messages, it will only vibrate.
thank you both for your input on this! so i was partially hopeful that this would all work w/ the S3 since that compatibility chart shows "limited availability" for non samsung android for messaging and the Sport chart shows "not supported". so maybe its just an outdated chart or we're just getting lucky i guess. Support told me yesterday that w/ a non samsung android and the Gear Sport you'd get a notification that you have a SMS but you wouldnt be able to see who it was from or read it. hoping what you guys reported is the actual norm though! w/ SMS can you read the whole string of text convo or just the new message that arrived? not a big deal but was curious. I like the look of the S3 better but really like the waterproof part of the Sport. i'm not sure the speaker/mic is a big thing for me or not as i'd be fine w/ just vibration (as long as its sufficient)
I'm using Gear sport with OP6T and I don't have any issue.
I have the Gear S3 and everything works fine, but I should mention that I use Textra for SMS, not the crap default messaging app. I can read the full message and reply with quick replies or voice to text.

thats a good thing to note....i remember someone else saying they use textra too. would anyone be willing to test using the default messenger to see if that works as well? no biggie if you dont want to mess with it
and just to make sure i'm on the same page you get gmail notifications and you can read them as well? (thats not as big a deal really as reading an email on a watch might be annoying). the sms and phone is bigger i think
thank you again for everyones help!
No issues with the OP6T & my gear 3 frontier.
Samsung pay, all functions I use work perfectly.
Awesome thank you everyone! And I assume you just needed the gear app to make it work? Is anyone willing to test with the standard Google messenger just to see if that works?

It never installs? Afterwards for me it popped up to install, then you go back to Samsung pay in the Galaxy wearable app and launch it to set it up

I have the Galaxy Watch (46mm version) and the OP 6t McLaren Edition and both are working well together with no issues. As long as you install Galaxy Wear App and use it to sync to the watch it will all work correctly. Good luck.

perfect thank you! i think i'm going to go with the Gear Sport which is tizen 3.0 vs 4.0 thats on the galaxy watch but sounds like that should work ok too hopefully. I knew i'd need to do the gear app on my OP so no biggie there. I wonder why Samsung has not supported for messenging for the sport for non samsung android. maybe just outdated info
I got my Gear Sport and working great with my 6t! one thing missing is the Messenger app on the watch. I do get notifications for new texts and i can reply but cannot see past messages or the whole thread like it supposedly let you do w/ the messenger app. From what i gathered a lot of others are having the same issue and they used to have it sounds like. I'd bet its because its not a samsung phone so they stripped that feature from non -samsung which is super lame. is everyone else seeing the same thing?

Do you use Android Auto in your vehicle? Sometimes when I receive a call, my Gear s3 will take the call instead of my vehicle. Then in the speaker menu I can only see Bluetooth of my Gear s3, but does not show more that one Bluetooth option. It's frustrating. If I turn my watch off, it goes back to my vehicle. Once in a while it works fine, but I can't rely on it working.
