Stock Quick Remote app has limited device suport and no learning like an app from LG g2.... Any way to use QRemote from g2 or other application with support of G Pad IR Blaster? Thnx in advance!

Me too! Would love to see the G2's quick remote app ported over for the GPad :\
Someone please!
I spent hours looking for an app that will control my set top box.
Found nothing.
Why did LG give us such a lame app when the G2 has a wonderful one?
Is there a possibility that we can find the aformentioned .apk and install it (even though something tells me that it will not be such an easy task).

I believe the GPad only has an IR Blaster, not a receiver as well. Because of this the device is not capable of learning.
For me the only added value the G2 app will give is for the extra devices, as I have a couple of LG A/Cs in my living room.
Would love to see if we can do this. Picked up this beast yesterday and the remote app was my only complaint. Having a g2 makes it better, but would be awesome to have the same app on both

It sounds like a hardware limitation on the g pad. Maybe if you guys wrote LG about it they could add it tto the next g pad. I only have a Samsung phone so I have not played with the g2.

Hello, I had the lg optimus g pro for a week and loved the remote. I was able to work my tv, cable box and blue ray player. The one on the s4 I can only do two devices. I have been looking on google, amazon. and the net. I would like to find one that works on my s4 but dose more then just two devices. Can someone help me, i keep trying but everyone i come up with says they use your wifi or something like that. Can someone suggest one too me or something. thanks a bunch would prefer a free one, but willing to pay if it is really really good.
thanks

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.

This should really be in the themes and apps forum - of course if you went there, you'd find at least two threads already there about remote apps...

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.

I find myself just using the Direct TV app. It shouldn't be like that, but I guess it is for now.

I'm assuming there's no IR support though?

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.

You really do have to aim it with precision for it to work well. Stupid thing.

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.
Hey G2 users , I think of buying this phone in this month. So I want to ask is there a TV Remote app like in HTC One or Galaxy S4?
Yes

It is fantastic. You can make custom remotes, program custom profiles, everything. It is fantastic.

Except it has not very good range. IR sensor is quite small.

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.
So i tried all of the IR blaster apps that worked with my s4 and htc one, but NONE of them even made the ir blaster blink (as seen through a camera pointed at the blaster) am i looking at a broken blaster or is there an app out there that can help me?

Have you given the one that comes preinstalled on the LG G2 a go?
I might have uninstalled it way back when I got the phone and rooted it

I'd give it a go because if the stock app that comes with the LG G2 doesn't work and no other apps worked then for sure you'd probably have defective IR sensor
Where would I get it, I can't find the original app any store

hello
I wonder if G2 ir blaster can learn remote control code (receiver) like HTC One or just use Predefined cods like Galaxy s4?
thanks in advance
It can learn, just add the universal remote.

Actually, it can do both.
Yes, it can learn. I was very happy with the feature, but most of the buttons are not working, atleast for me.
I have learned my phone, my ACs and none of them work. Any solution?

Try reprogramming the buttons. I had that happen to me once, after recreating the remote everything worked fine ever since.
My only grouse is that every time I switch roms, all my remotes go and I have to reprogram the various remotes. It's far easier to just pick up the remote and your good to go. The only place it's useful is in a bar when you want to impress someone

I never had to do that. I restored app data upon flashing the new ROM and it worked.
