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%)

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....

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.
All of a sudden yesterday, my trusty old Nexus 10 stopped auto-rotating. Apps that have a fixed orientation will work and rotate the screen, but then the screen stays in that orientation until an app with a different fixed orientation is launched. I downloaded a couple sensor checking apps, and it seems the gyroscope/compass/acceleremeter are just dead. It doesn't register anything at all on the apps. I'm guessing it's just the result of age (no "trauma" to the device such as a drop or anything). Any similar experiences, or thoughts on repairing? I doubt I'll replace the tablet anytime soon, it's really just a media consumption device at this point, though a couple of the games I played used the gryo/accel. My initial thought is it's just time to let it go, use it for what I can, then provide a proper burial when it totally dies.

probably your sensor is dead(could you try to install some app that display all sensors informations? you should find that easily on the play store).
could you also tell us what is your ROM ?
I'm running the current official LMY49F, but rooted.

Hm indeed your issue should not happen( I think) with lollipop.
MM had some issues with sensors but since you are on lollipop ...
Hehe, well then you should flash a rom with a QS tile to rotate hehe.
LOL, probably not going to mess with flashing a new ROM. Like I said, I only use it for media consumption and some light gaming...nothing that "needs" the gyro, so I'll just live with it until it totally dies
Huh, son a gun. Just flashed the Feb Nexus update via fastboot, and low and behold, it lives again! Looks like it was software related after all.
Hello all. I was a member of this site between the times of the tmobile dash-note 2 eras and i havent done much modding since. I may have to start back after getting this phone. I recently upgraded from the LG g2 and besides the better hardware it seems that the software is a downgrade in terms of over customization and getting the most out of this hardware. I just want to know if there's a way to fix any of these problems or if I should root and if so what should I go with..
1. Get front flash to work while video chatting or to use phone as lighted mirror;without having to record video. ( I always visualized an ad of a chick using the moto x as a mirror or a soldier video chatting his family in a poorly lit space)
2. Pair multiple Bluetooth devices. My LG g2 could pair my pebble time steel and two other devices. One could be paired to play media and the other would be set for calls only and they were remembered.
3. Custom alarm tones. I thought the pure meant that there wouldn't be any restrictions and everything would be customizable like the good windows phones.
I'm sure these problems have been solved but I couldn't find it by searching the forums so maybe someone could point me to the best mod for this phone please?
Recently picked up the 6P (still stock on lastest FW) and have only one issue with it.
When I am steaming audio over bluetooth in my car (usually using Play Music), if I wakeup/unlock the device, the audio stutters/lags for a good 5-10 seconds before going back to normal. Once awake, dragging down the notifications menu can cause a similar effect though less pronounced. If I turn the screen back off, it goes back to normal instantly.
I don't have any other BT devices to test this on, but I've not had this issue with any other androids in my car. I also don't see any "lag" issues anywhere else. Before I unlock and root this thing, any ideas on how to fix it on the stock rom, or is a custom rom not likely to fix this either?
Appreciate it.

It's a problem at the source code. It's says it's been fixed on Developer N preview 3. So when N is released publicly it should be fixed. Or you can join the beta program. I have preview 3 running now and it's pretty solid. I don't use bluetooth audio though, so I can't say if it is indeed fixed. If you do try it be sure to enable OEM unlocking in Android dev settings just to be sure you can save your device should anything happen. Also check the list of supported apps so if any app you rely isn't supported you can decide from there.

Hey! I just found this post. I have had the same issue on my 6P since receiving it in November. I was stock until just a few days ago, now just running 6.0.1 and xposed. The issue fixed itself right after I wiped and rooted, but is now back. This is odd because booting my phone into safe mode didn't fix the issue, so I'm thinking it's not caused by a specific app, although I'm yet to try it.
Since you mentioned you don't use other bluetooth devices, this problem ONLY exists for me in my car audio, a 2015 Chevy Cruze.
If you don't mind me asking, what car are you driving?

I have the exact same problem with my 2015 Chevy Volt nav / stereo system. I never noticed this issue until I updated to the Android N release a few days ago. It always happens when I turn on the screen. I rooted and went back to Android M, but the issue is still there. I'm guessing that's because my phone now has the latest baseband and radios instead of the older ones that did not have this Bluetooth problem. If you guys come up with a fix let me know. I'm thinking of flashing the Android M radios to see if that's the problem since I'm now running a custom Android M based ROM anyway. I tested the phone with my wife's 2016 Mazda CX5 and it has none of this screen on stuttering garbage.
UPDATE: I went ahead rooted, installed Pure Nexus ROM (6.0.1-20160821), installed ElementalX-N6P-1.21 kernel, flashed bootloader-angler-angler-03.54.img and radio-angler-angler-03.61.img from angler-mtc20f-factory-d62de11e.tgz, and after all that the issue is still there! What a complete waste of time. What I'm guessing might be the problem is I switched to Sprint on July 2016. Before that I was on T-Mobile and I never had this screen on stuttering issue. It seems there might be some type of interference here and it's possible it is a hardware design flaw since Google has not been able to fix the issue for quite some time. As of now I've switched to my LG G5 phone which has no Bluetooth issues with my Chevy Volt. If I don't find a fix soon I'll probably sell the Nexus 6P and wait for the newer Nexus devices.
FWIW, I have the same issue with my 2014 Chevy Cruze and my HTC 10. Ran across this thread while hunting down a solution (unsuccessfully, this far).

I figured out that if I uncheck Message Access for my Chevy Volt under my phone's Bluetooth settings, the screen on stuttering is fixed!! Everything works flawlessly with my wife's Mazda CX5 so it must be a Bluetooth compatibility issue. Check it out and see if that resolves your HTC 10 issue with your Chevy. Good luck!
I have found a somewhat reliable fix - PLEASE tell me it works for you all as well.
Hopefully we are all familiar with the problem: A Nexus 6P ( Or whatever is the issue for you) is paired with my 2015 Chevy Cruze that I use to stream audio while commuting. The audio is more or less fine until the screen turns off/I lock the phone. Once I unlock the phone or a notification wakes the screen up, the audio stutters over my car speakers until I turn the screen back off, or 6-8 seconds has passed. This doesn't happen with any other device I own when paired to my car, and my phone doesn't have the same issue when paired with any other bluetooth receiver. I am on a rooted but otherwise stock 6P running 7.0.
I do not use my car for messages, only music/podcasts and phonecalls. I went into the bluetooth settings while driving ( I do not recommend you do this while your car is in motion) and noticed the stuttering was consistent the entire time I had the menu open. This prompted me to assume it must have something to do with the phone making other bluetooth actions while connected to my car, that my car didn't like.
I clicked on the gear for settings next to my car in the bluetooth paired devices list, which pops up the menu that lets you change the name of the device, and what it is used for. My options are: 'Phone Audio', 'Media Audio', 'Contact Sharing', and 'Message Access'. I denied message access to my car the last time it prompted me, but the last two on the list were still checked. I unchecked both of them, reset my phone, and crossed my fingers.
It works. It freaking works. It's not 100% and if I flip the screen on and off over and over again it'll still get a little wonky, but I no longer cringe when I have to unlock my car in the phone.
Will the rest of you give this a shot and let me know if you have similar luck? Best wishes!

You're totally right. I discovered this on my own right about the same time you did apparently and I wanted to make sure it lasted before I made a post here. You deserve all the credit, I'm just so happy it's fixed. Now, I am curious if it'll still stutter a bit if you turn your screen on and off really quickly a few times?

Seems that GM vehicles are a common denominator too! I have the stuttering with my 6P int my Holden Cruze. Didn't have the issue with my old Nexus 6 and don't have the issue with the 6P when making calls over BT. I haven't listened to as great deal of music from the 6P over BT except in the car so can't really compare there.
It's interesting to read a comment that it was going to be fixed in M preview 3 but even now in Marshmallow release the issue is still there.
Hi, been suffering with a stutter in my Mercedes every 20mins with a 5X on 7.0. Again, seems a common problem with Mercs. I tried EVERYTHING to fix this for months, including full phone wipes and flashes.
I just fixed my issue entirely, not sure if it will work for you guys, but I believe it is an issue with the BT bandwidth that the car is able to cope with. I turned off Phone Book and SMS Message Access services and my issue is gone. I think the phone is maxing the bandwidth with A2DP and as soon as a sync is requested for phone book or message = the problem arises.

Interesting. It certainly does feel like a bandwidth issue. I have a Moto360 and has tried turning that off but hadn't thought of turning phone functions off. I don't really want to do that either but will try it to confirm.
I turned off phonebook and SMS but it made no difference to me at all.
I have noticed a Terrible shutter from my device when paired to a portable BT speaker. at times the only fix is to turn the speaker off then back on. it is horrid.
I have had this phone for more than 4 months now, and I have 2 problems with it (both software), which OnePlus failed to fix over several updates, even though they are aware of these problems.
My first problem is the panorama mode. This phone makes just the worst panoramas. My hands are a little shaky, and the pictures that come out are completely unacceptable (even though it doesn't have ois) for a "flagship killer". I had a Nexus 5X before, which made almost always perfect panoramas with a much worse camera. I feel like the devs put the panorama mode in the camera just so that it has the feature, but didn't spend any time on the algorithm.
My second problem, which is the bigger one is about bluetooth. First of all, the phone had/has a weird bug where if you turn on the bluetooth then go to the bluetooth menu to choose which device you want to connect to (either by long pressing the bt icon in the notification bar or from the settings app), the ui would freeze and you have to wait a half-a-minute or so, for the ui manager to restart (in older versions of oos, the phone itself restarted). Now in 5.1.1 it doesn't do this as often as it used to, but it still happens. The second issue with bluetooth is connectivity. Sometimes when I have my headset turned on and I turn on bluetooth on the phone it connects right away (like it should) and I am happy.
Other times (most of the time actually) I have to manually select which device I want to connect to (bringing us back to freezing), and even then it still takes a couple tries for the phone to succesfully connect.
So these are my 2 issues with this phone, I hope they will get fixed soon. I feel like the dev team is always working on the next phone after release, and they don't spend anywhere near enough man-hours on released device support.
Other than these, I'm loving this device, it's fast, has great battery life and does everything well.
Do you have these bugs, do they bother you or do you have any other problems with the phone you would like to share?

I have to ask but have you done any factory resets? Never once heard of either of these issues

Yes, I have, I clean installed 5.1.0. I read about both problems on the OnePlus forums, so I guess it's not just me. But I can try when I have some time to reinstall the phone. Btw, I am running oos 5.1.1 rooted, nothing else, so I don't think that is the problem.

Dont know about the panaroma mode but i face no issues like you mentioned regarding Bluetooth.
Try flashing an OOS based custom rom and see how that treats you.
my only main issue with this phone is the oil painting effect.

My issues are Oil Painting and broken Camera2 API
Camera post processing!
The way the Alert Slider works and how we can't customize it to our needs. But I guess this is a problem with all OnePlus phones.

U tried this?

Things I am not comfortable with are
1). Notification dropdown works even on lock-screen.
2). you can power off the device from Lock-screen.
Both are security concerns as someone can turn wi-fi and data off or power down the device if found or stolen.
