Hi,
Is there any IR Blaster apps out there that work like the harmony remotes where you can point a remote that is not supported and get the button presses assigned manually on the blaster?.
I am not looking for it to control a TV, in my workplace some of my workmates have a small ir device with one button that is used to open and close a road barrier when driving in and out from work, i need to jump in and out of a car to punch in some numbers to get by.
I don't even know if this would be possible, just wondering if anyone thinks this could be done?
Cheers!

I know most PDAs only have a small IR range. Has anybody tried the wizzard with one of the many pocket pc remote control software? What was your range like?
I tried noviiremote deluxe and right when i opened up the app it told me that the wizards device is incompatible with the program. so i guess wait for an update on that app, but they're many more remote control apps. give some of them a shot and see for yourself maybe?

No other remote app will work - none of them supports the TI CPU. You may want to check out http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17874 for more info.
THat's annoying. On my old SE P800, the tv remote worked srom as far away as I could get, come 8 meters!
There is also something else why remote control software won’t work.
IR-DA hardware is not compatible to work as a remote control transmitter because it is mend to be for data communication between two IR-DA devices.
But if your PDA can do it anyway then there is extra hardware build in to do this.
The HP2210 can do this and it worked wonderful.
I’ve been in several waiting room where televisions where shouting all the time. And with the 2210 I could switch them off or lower there volume

Hi,
is there a program to use the diamond as a infrared remote control for TV, Radio, Video, CD-Player, ...?
Perhaps with support for G-Sensor (up/down for channels, right/left for volume)?

Diamond does not have infrared
Dude,
As far as I know the Diamond doesn't have an IR emitter...
Cheers...
IR in Diamond... you funny
anyway the idea of moving the phone to change the channel is good.

Yes but i think there is not a way to do
Slingbox
I just treated myself to a slingbox, so I can control a pile of video/audio equipment via any network connection anywhere and also watch/listen on my phone or laptop, it is very cool if you don't mind spending a bit of cash (I do mind).
Throw the device against the tv to change channels...
Did you read the ****ing manual of the device??????

As soon as you retro fit all the Diamonds with a IR port then the devs will get straight to work.
Since it is obvious that the HTC Diamond has no IR port this thread has been closed.
I thought I would start a thread for what works and does not for bluetooth.
My A500 connects and works perfectly with:
Sony headphones model DR-BT21G
Freedom Pro keyboard set to HID - no special driver needed
Think Outside folding Keyboard - this is no longer on the market
My wii controller using wiimote controller and pce.emu from android market.
Wiimote controller lets me play with all the tiger emus and pce.emu has native wiimote support.

Why no one seems to be annoyed by this bright spot in the right of the screen??
It is only noticeable in bright colored backgrounds (white, light blue etc), but it completely goes away on dark backgrounds and you cant notice it at all.

I ve seen this issue on every device i ever hold in my hands (demo display devices o9n stores), including my own.
I have started a thread about this some days ago : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077527&highlight=light+bleeding , but there seems to be only few ppl worried about this..
So i wonder, does everyone else suck it up and live with it?? Maybe you havent noticed it yet?? Maybe its not so bad on your device ?? Maybe you dont have it at all ??
As far as i m concerned it really pisses me off when i look at this spot on a white background !!!
Sony DR-BT100CX Bluetooth headphones working great, incl. player controls (pause/play, FF, RW). I haven't tried the headset's microphone, but suspect it might not work yet based the user manual:
user manual said:
Note: Only A2DP stereo headsets (without microphone) are supported.
Please check for updates to the tablet's software which may add support for
additional Bluetooth devices.

The Palm Wireless Keyboard (3245WW) works perfectly. Saw no reason to buy a different one when I had this one laying around collecting dust. You can still find them used and a rare few that are new. I'm pretty sure this is just a Think Outside keyboard with the Palm brand on it.
I have also gotten the Wii Remote working well with a Nintendo 64 emulator. I'm using WiiMote Control and N64oid.
I'll be following this thread because I'm looking to get some wireless headphones.

Targus Bluetooth keyboard for iPad
So far, I'm liking this keyboard. A few of the buttons are marked a bit oddly for Android, but overall, I really just wanted the basics. A few of the specialty keys work well - magnifier bring up search, volume keys work, arrows scroll and pan...
So, yeah..not too bad and pretty low profile as well. Operates off two AAA batteries Paired very easily. Occasionally after a long period of not being used, I have to turn it off and on again, but it reconnects Very Quickly.
Very Happy until the next one that's perfect comes along.

my jaybird bluetooth headphones work great.
Qstarz BT-q818 bluetooth GPS unit.
I use my tab as a moving map in the airplane where the tab doesn't have a clear view of the sky. the BT GPS has a 42 hour rechargeable battery and works quite well. Download the Bluetooth GPS App from the market and enable Mock Locations to get it to work.

Polaroid PoGo Printer
My Polaroid PoGo Printer works well with the Iconia.
other than it being pricey, this works on my tab. I mainly use it for my media center
The Logitech keyboard for tablets works great!
I got mine at Best Buy - they did not have the "Android" model but the one for iPad is the same product.
It will be nice to have an app that can capture the code from any controller.
The on board application is too limited .
The use it could be for example : to capture air condition controller code so you can control you air condition and make your galaxy the true multi (universal) remote controller.
It will be nice if we can export - share the codes.. :good:
note: if i can i will like to help in development of the app... please p.m.
I had a short test with the light sensor from test mode, this should be possible.
However I'm not a developer.
ALexander
what do you mean? What test? There must be evidence it can receive IR orders not only transmit them. And to have SDK for sensors, does anybody know if samsung released the SDK for sensors? I read that somewhere but maybe Im wrong and it was about HTC One. THX
open dialer
type *#0*#
choose sensor
choose light sensor
Hold remote next to the sensor and see the values changing.
So I suppose I it possible to record and play back via the IR diode.
There is no explicit IR receiving diode onboard.
ALexander
if you want SGS4 to learn codes from original dedicated IR blasters (e.g. air conditioning), you need IR receiver in it! For control home electronics you need IR sender (transmiter). So, if it has no receiver, it cannot receive commands and learn, so the only option is to load it from a file or some online code source...undwerstand?
are you crazy? The light sensor is not IR its only for automatic brightness change!!! LOL
there are two IR sensors one above display on the front side for air gestures and one on the top side for the TV, DVD,...control...learn smth about it and read manual!!! Its not a shame LOL
i am not sure but i think that if it isn't a receiver we could use the camera as receiver.
correct me if i'm wrong..
too difficult and complex ...or not possible...somebody has to confirm if it has or doesnt have IR receiver, if so than its only the matter of simple apk...

Did you try what I wrote?
ALexander
if im not wrong air gesture is nothing but ir receiver right? why not use it for learning function if in case the blaster dosent have ir receiver diode.
It doesn't have to be a receiver (front) for the air gestures to work..it can be a transmiter.
But the front camera hase to be able to read the signal for thr gestures to work ( trasmiter project and camera read the projection that translate to object to complete the gesture)

Yes and what? it only changes the values as you cover it by your hand there is less light to receive and thats all. According to this phone is minimising/maximising the display brightness..very simple principle...useless because it has nothing to do with IR.
It is also able to detect the color of the light received, the only question left over is whether the detection is quick enough to be able to get the full signal out of the IR-signal.
Alexander
Think you are all flogging a dead horse!
You cannot use the camera to decode IR signals!!! You need a dedicated IR receiver which is something the S4 does not have afaik. I am pretty sure if Samsung had one in there they would have marketed the S4 as a learning remote.
On another note from playing with the S4 I think the IR emitter is pants! It has a very short range and has to be in direct line of site of the receiver on your equipment. You would all be better off purchasing a wifi connected IR emitter and downloading the appropriate app if you are really set on using the S4 to control anything but believe me the novelty will wear off very quickly.
ir Remote
I remember a Symbian software > ir Remote < , to which could be added the codes, also manually from file, of many device...
So, should develop an app or porting to Android...
HTC ONE has it!
Guys, the HTC ONE has the ability to read IR codes from remotes and repeat them with its built-in app. I tested it myself, my bro has one. I have S4 and it would have been nice to be able to do that also. Any updates on this matter?
Cheers!

My first PDA Dell Axim X3 a couple of years ago .....6-7 on Windows Mobile , had an App (don't remember anymore the exact name),
with a learn function. Means I was pushing Power button in the app and the Power Button on the original remote control while the IR from the remote was facing the IR of the Dell. and he learned exact to swich on and off the Digital TV receiver.... and I did the same for all buttons
, volume , programs up and down etc. ..
Do we have also an app like this for IR powered Androids ?
Need IR remote Code
Can someone help me with a IR remote code for an AirCo named Airwell
the remote name is YX1F.
Thank you in advance

Also had this on iPaq rx3715, ten years ago, haha.
guys what about those IR recievers that samsung includes with some tvs (it's an extension if u have something placed in front of tv's main reciever
i think it has a 3,5mm jack so it could go inside the s4/note 3's jack and we can use it to get the codes?
Does anyone know if an app exists that can "learn" IR codes from various remotes? By learn I mean you would point a remote toward the IR blaster on the N3 and hit various buttons, and the phone would learn each button in order to send the signal with its IR blaster.
I have a logitech remote that has gone to crap that had that functionality, but I don't even know if it's possible with the N3.
Anyone have any idea?
TIA!!

I don't believe it's possible. As I've read, that's a function of hardware and not something I'm aware an app or software can accomplish. My HTC One had that function but the S4 I had didn't.
