Charging current monitor - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know of a good app to monitor charging current that works with the S5? e.g. - to compare different wired/wireless chargers

Oh, I have used that one too but didn't realize it showed charging current. Thanks.

Sorry, just realized this doesn't belong here.

IR Remote

So what happened to software for this? I don't see WatchOn installed, and its not compatible with the phone. Am I missing something or did that just not quite make it to production?
I had watchon installed and it worked great. Seems sammy bought peel or licensed their tech.

You had it installed on your AT&T us S4? The playstore says it not compatible.
Should come pre installed.

worked great on mine as well
should be pre installed a purple icon and then you need to configure it, have it working on 2 separate tvs and cable boxes
WOW....... I knew it was late, and I know I'm getting old... Time for new glasses. I looked in apps 20x for that stupid thing and went right over it, even knowing what it was called!
....
I should loose a point for this....
Is anyone using an app other than Samsung WatchON that is compatible with our phones? My initial feeling is that this app is a piece of crap.

Directv HR24
Anyone else having issues with WatchOn controlling a Directv dvr? It works with a Hitachi tv and Pioneer receiver, but I can't seem to get the directv box working.
Check to make sure your DirecTV box isn't set up to use RF instead of IR.

So you had it installed the whole time, you went to the play store (supposedly) and it supposedly said not compatible. It should of said "open" or uninstall If you really checked..

No, the version on the play store was NOT for the s4. It wasn't compatible ( not sure about now, however, i said that a while back and things could have changed by now. ). The version that was already on the phone worked fine as i said already as well. ( where i admitted to being blind and not seeing it already loaded on the phone )

I later realized that the app just doesn't have the alternate Directv remote code sets that you use if you have more than one box in the same location. Hopefully, they can add those.

Plug it directly in the watch
Can be rooted with kingroot directly from watch with WiFi on. Military time can be changed in build prop. Use mine all day hasn't died once during the day. No input think its a build prop issue I'm no Dev but there is a lot turned off

Very cool. Does it actually have WiFi and GPS as well? And I think the site mentions a 5MP camera (as opposed the GG's 1.3MP). Can you verify this as well?
Starting to sound like the watch the GG should have been.

i changes time format from 24 to 12 it made watch boot loop any ideas??
this is the Mimi W2, right?
http://www.mimi-hk.com/product.php?id_product=23&id_lang=1
seems to me this is more of a U8 clone, it has the same mic/speaker implementation (phone audio is always on the speaker of the watch, you have to switch manually)
also, the Smartwatch2A.apk that can be downloaded for notifications looks/works exactly like BTNotifier that comes with the U8
and one of the U8 firmware updates changed the icons from black/white to color...

Any update on this smartwatch? ROM? Anybody else using it? Can you read email text, not just notification from your phone on this watch?
The reason I'm asking because I found a similar smartwatch for $70 shipped free from GearBest now: http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_70658.html - very tempted!!! MIMI W2S doesn't have camera, uses your phones camera for remote, but everything else is similar and very Gear-like

APK for the Quick Remote app

Hi Guys,
I have an LG Volt and from what I understand the quick remote app that comes with your phone does a lot more than the quick remote app that comes with my phone.
I was wondering if someone could give me the apk so I could see if it runs on the volt.
Thanks!

Turn off screen when using micro hdmi cable

Hi, I am currently using a micro hdmi cable, it works great, but I would like the screen on the tablet to shut off while I am casting onto the larger monitor. Is this possible? There is an app in the PlayStore that can do this but it requires root, which I dont want to do. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Hm, I am not sure but I dont think so.
Do you have the name of the app please?
Hi,

Hi, I mentioned this app more of a reference and an explanation of what I want to accomplish. If I was rooted I would have given it a try as the Yoga Book is still on 6.0, and will be for some time if I am to believe posts regarding Lenovo Android updates.
Sent from my Lenovo YB1-X90F using Tapatalk
I yearn for the same thing. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible without root. Hopefully it'll be added in a future update. HDMI out without a way to turn the primary display off is useful in very few situations. One of those odd oversights by Lenovo.

LG FM receiver App

Can anyone post the LG FM receiver app. Verizon removed it from their phones (obviously) but I think T-Mobile has it

Doesn't work... I think it we need root to put it in the system folder and set permission
Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk
I doubt that it would work even if you could put it into the system folder through root. Verizon probably disabled the hardware as well. They did this on the LG G4 as well.
Dang. Sorry guys. Was hoping it would work too haha.

I wonder if Next Radio uses any data? I'm sure it very minimal if it does use any at all. But the FM radio tuner does work. I would love to see someone work on getting the LG Tuner to work on the Verizon model.

The website for that app says that it works with any phone with an FM chip and the correct API. It requires the use of headphones or some cable to act as the antenna. It does use some data for album covers and information, but you can turn that off by going into Tuner Only mode and then you will use NO data. Haven't actually tried it - just reading off their website.

No data... Your phone needs FM receiver chip. Most phones have it but carriers in the US used to disable it, lately they haven't which is good

Have it on my US Cellular G6 and it works very well. Unfortunately you cant send the FM signal to a bluetooth device.

Thanks for sharing. I got this to install on my G6 G600 (Korean) and it opened up. It says to turn the radio on. Pressing the standby button does nothing and I cannot see any other options. Any ideas at all?
I just tried it on my V20, I get to the "Turn the radio on" screen only after the "Plug in earphones to use as antenna" screen.
You've plugged in your earphones, yes?
