Hello all,
At some point I had issues with my Defy because I have installed a Chinese ROM, after that I used another one to be able to downgrade from higher kernels to 2.2.2.
In all this time I have not used camera and flash of camera because camera was not working and the Flashlight application also have not used.
Now my phone is all normal running CyanogenMOD 7.1, with camera working ok and all, but LED from flash is barely lighting app when flashing on camera app, and also when using flashlight app it is barely lighting.
What can I do to bring it to normal working behavior!?
Running the optimus rom. For some reason i'm just stuck on the screen to say ok to the 2 agreements and can't get out of it. I've tried rebooting, reinstalling rom, force closing, clearing data, everything I could think of. Any idea?
take your g2 and point to a camera. hold any button and look in the camera if show a "light" leaving the sensor infrared. if yes, the infrared its works
else look in your rom if has a process "sdk running. this processes is the quick remote
My quick remote not working on my LG G2 . I point to a camera and there is no light, infrared not working. What to do next?
I tried the IR blaster today but it does not work. I used the stock app, Asmart and many more IR app in the playstore but it didn't work. I checked if the IR LED is functional by viewing it in a digital camera and it does lit up. Now I used the same app (Asmart) on multiple TV on my brother's note 3 to make sure it's not the app or the tv. I found out that its not the app or the tv but my phone. Model is SM 910C. Anyone else having the same problem?

I am having the same problems on mine. I went into Verizon about it. I figured it was my phone. The guy called the IT department and was able to speak to them. Now, I'm telling you truths here, but we all know that when you're talking to a VZW Rep you get random stuff.
They did some things, really just asked me what I tried to do, and then they were making sure I wasn't rooted and stuff, but in the end said that there is a known issue with the IR Blaster. I'm actually quite disappointed in this. But, they said... here's where you get what you want to out of this... they are releasing a patch that will solve it. I was even given a date of January 15th. Now, I'm not going to be thumping around anything on anything about a Jan 15 update other than telling you that I got the information today and I'm taking it as a very small bit of information and I'm not going to bet the farm on this date and information, so you do what you feel you need to.
WHAT WE DO NEED!!! Get your phones out, point it at a TV and shoot that bastard until you find out if your phone works. Please, we need you guys to pitch in and find out if this is actually all Note 4's, some random ones or just a couple. I don't want to be stuck in a week past my 14 day window getting some jerks phone that bought it to play with, took it clubbing, spilled a drink on it and turned it in and now I'm stuck with that piece of _____. I want a new phone if I need a new phone as mine is 8 days old. So, please please get out there and help us.
I have a UK un branded rooted note 4 and haven't really used the ir blaster till I read this.
Tried mine on both TV and set top box and it works everything all the time so maybe it's a software issue with verizon versions? Kinda suck if it is.
Nope my Sprint US Variant Model N910P, works perfect with the stock remote app.
I'm going to post this on reddit.
I use the watch on app in two different places with no issues.

That is BS on a grand scale, walk in there and dont take no for an answer, they need to swap your phone out for one that works! 15th of Jan for a fix hahahaha, these idiots are playing you the fool for sure, after that time when the so called "patch" doesnt work there goes your swap out period and youll have to wait weeks for the device to get fixed.
No way I would leave that store until they swapped out the unit, demand to speak with the manager, show and explain the issue and demand either a working device or a refund!
There is no way on earth they know that a fix is scheduled for the 15th of Jan hahaha.
Edit: mine works flawlessly with built in app and zaza.
Okay, I'm looking at this now and I used a few more apps, there are just some that aren't working. Seems every one of the 7 I had picked before this post was talked about didn't want to work. I really like Dijit and they aren't working. But the native app is working and I'm not sure if I just disabled that before I even tried it or what.
SO... for me, this is solved. Sorry OP, but you gotta go work yours too I think.
Me too having problems in my LG TV. No problems using my note 3's ir blaster with the said TV, with the note 4, the stock remote app is working intermittently. Sometimes its okay sometimes its not. If i want to increase the volume i have to press it multiple times before the volume is increased. With the note 4 even the power button press with the remote is not working. Same with channels, have to press it multiple times.
Bottom line is note 3's ir blaster and stock remote app had zero problems. I dont know with the note 4 if the problem is the hardware (ir blaster itself) or the software (stock remote app)

Hi, been wandering why my SM-N910H IR Blaster not working flawlessly. And thanks to you I know I'm not alone. Mine also working intermittently, sometimes it's ok but sometimes need several attempts to get it in the "active" state. Please if anyone here could help if this is hardware or software problem so I can ask for replacement. Tq
I have the same problem on my N910C
I think this bug affect only some types of Note 4. I think they affect the SM-N910H and SM-N910C.
Mine works fine I'm using the AT&T variant (N910A)

I'm having the exact same problem. It works intermittently and I thought this was a problem with the app itself but I am clueless at the moment.
The ir remote control is working or not? My answer are yes and no. It starts working for a while. Then don't know what happen it will stop suddenly. I don't think it is app related as other ir app will stop working as well after that. The phone must be turning off the service after something triggers it. After reboot the phone, it works again.
Anyone who experience this, restart your phone and start again

I wrote mail to the Samsung support and they answer me that they are working in this issue.
How do I know if the IR blaster is not working or my TV is not compatible?
I have an almost two years old Panasonic GT60.
Have the same problem with IR blaster (works one time in hundred times). If someone find i solution please post it. I am using this quite a lot and this is realy annoying.
I have a 910C updated to NK5 and am only able to use the IR blaster sporadically, i.e. it works once then stops a few minutes later. I've read that this only affects certain Note 4 models, I've tried several IR apps and all have the same issue so it's definitely not app related.. According to Anymote comments, they mentioned that the workaround involved modifying the way the Note 4 sends out the IR codes or something.
Please mention:
- Your model version
- Build number
- Success percentage of IR signals (ex. mine is less than 20%)

this sucks!
IR Blaster
Att Note 4
N910a
KTU84P.N910AUCU1ANIE
Functions about 100% of the time when I use it with "Smart remote". Loads my vizio, apex, samsung, lg, tv, receivers, etc. All of which when I find the code that works best, work great. Only thing is that it has a slight delay, so when I mash on the button it will keep firing long after if I click it like 30 times in 2 seconds, it will do it 2-3 times a second, untill it caught up with it.
I wrote to Samsung support about the issue, their solution involved blaming 3rd party apps for the issue and suggesting using their soon to be decommissioned What's On application that obviously didn't work. Absolutely useless.
Solution found.
1. Clear the settings of smart remote app, Remove the updates of smart remote app using application manager, and force close it and reboot the mobile.
Its the latest version of it that breaks the IR. The guys paying someone for the fix are being scammed most likely.
The older version send IR signals in a slow fashion and it works perfectly fine. The latest version overdrives the IR module hardware capacity i guess and it breaks it....
Thanks

It doesn't work for me, the latest is built-in in the firmware. And it seems the problem is from the IR driver not the software itself. Otherwise you can just install a 3rd party software to fix it.
Darnit...same here! At first after starting up the Smart Remote app it works fine, and after a while it stops working. rather anoying as I like this feature on my phone. Comes in very handy when watching TV and the phone at same time and needing to adjust volume or switch channels.
No option to remove any updates for the Smart Remote app in my case unfortunately.
N910C
Stock, latest software version
For me worked after a reboot using a 3rd Party App. It seems to die after sometime that the device is on. I really like this feature, in special because it save space to avoid to carry several remote controls with me.
I have the same problem, my IR blaster was working fine and it stopped working suddenly after the lollipop update.
I tried all solutions proposed by members in this forum and other forums (clearing cache, force stop the app, uninstall updates, restart) nothing seems to work!
SM 910c with lollipop 5.0.1
any suggestion guys?
same to me now it never work.
N910H
same to me after upgrading to lolipop 5.1.1
the infra red is not operating at all anymore..
I tried to uninstall the app and install it again, and tried different apps but no luck..
I also checked the infra red with another mobile camera but no indication that the infrared diode is operating though the upper blue led is functioning ok and is behaving always in the correct matter,
So i think its an issue regarding software....Are samsung aware of this frustrating problem?
should I return it to the agent since it is still under guarantee its onley 8 months..
any help will be greatly appriciated
I have a N910G and my IR blaster only works if I remove the plastic frame from the back of my phone.
Has anyone one got around to using their OnePlus 5 with a gimbal?
I've bought the FeiyuTech Vimble 2 Gimbal and one annoying feature unless I'm being really dense is that they say that their gimbal will control the OnePlus camera via Bluetooth. They say you can take photos from their gimbal and also trigger the video. Mine does neither even when the Bluetooth says "Input device" when I click on the settings icon at the side of the Bluetooth icon for the Vimble 2.
Anyone had any different experiences in this respect? Any ideas as to how I might solve this?
I can obviously use their Vicool app for camera and video but I want the option of not using it in preference for the OnePlus 5 camera + video.
Issue with the Vicool app
Hi
I installed the Vicool app on the OP5. Unfortunately the camera isn't working. Did you face any issues?
I installed the Vicool app and it worked fine. They then issued an update and it stopped working and they haven't responded to any enquiries as to why. Very frustrating. I just use it with my phone camera now.
Use Feiyu On app instead of Vicool.
If you delete the bluetooth connection and reconnect, the gimbal shutter button works with any camera app. If you reboot the gimbal it works only with feyiu apps...
I have 4 phones. With mido and whyred on Android 9 I have this problem. With my Ulefone Gemini Pro on Android 7 I can't shoot with any camera app at all. With My Samsung S4 mini LTE with android 7 it really works, always!!!
Hi all, new here, just got my Vimble 2 and it looks fine. Only problem so far is I have to disconnect and repair every time to get my Samsung phone camera to work. Any ideas?
