Smart remote app - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to get it to work with a sky box before I remove the app from my phone?
Thanks

you set it up after the tv, it asks you what you use to receive a signal. if you select set top boy it should give you the option to select BSKYB

Yeah, chose bskyb, then it asked for my TV, but I have one of those no brand tvs and couldn't find it. I only want to control my sky box. Not bothered about TV.

Just sent your tv up as you would and then say it worked it'll allow you to sort your sky box.

That worked. Thanks.

Get the sky+ app it's much better with it. Use smart remote for TV on off only

Yeah I have the sky+ app. I just wanted to see what smart remote was all about.
I like the way the basic remote controls are on the lock screen.

Is there a way to do hdmi mirroring

When on the stock rom, you can download the RealHDMI app from the Market. This should be what you're looking for.

Actually, I don't believe the device is able to have both displays working at the same time.

[q] how to set up watchon in the uk

Guys, just got my s4... went straight to watchon as its new...
I click region and nothing happens??
My Region is uk, it progresses if i click usa by asking my postcode but obviously thats no good for me.
Can you help?
Try closing the app and restarting. I havent had that issue so could just be temperamental. I also hope you don't have Virgin media Tivo as it doesn't work yet.

Working here with both TiVo and V+ without issue. Love the multi room feature
I could not get my Tivo to work with the stock settings,, so i had a play,, think i lucked out, cause i got it to work perfectly with the settings for "telewest" set top box.

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.

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

It works with my TV, BD player, Settop box(Tata sky)

[Q] (REQ) Watchon Type App

The only thing I miss from my Samsung is the Watchon app. I have loaded it on my G2 but of course the remote doen not work. Even the HTC M8 that I test rode for a week before returning it have a TV app built in like Watchon. Does anyone know of a similar app that will work on the G2 that gives a channel guild and working remote? Thanks for any leads.
I've been looking for something like that also for awhile and still haven't found anything that works like watchon. I'll keep looking until something comes up.
Maybe this.
