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.

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.

QRemote with more devices/learning from LG G2 port?

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.

G2 ir blaster

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.

Charging current monitor

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.

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,
Name of the app.. PLEASE.... =)

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.

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.
