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.
Hello, I am with FIDO Canada, I installed CM12 on D852 on February 13 Nightly version cm-12-20150213-NIGHTLY-d852.zip
I thought I give it few days and see how it works compared to other ROMS.. I tried Validus and had few bugs with ring volume not working and standby mode.
So far I have not found any bugs with CM12, runs super crazy fast, all my apps work, Bluetooth is even better than LG, reconnects automatically.
The only feature that I would like to have Auto switch in Data, like in LG it switches automatically between 2G,3G,LTE, this is missing in CM12 but I guess not a big deal (maybe can find app for it.)
Battery is great, maybe just tiny better from LG.
Contact list I way better with almost full screen picture when you dial someone.
For some reason cant play WAV files, player does not support it, will try to download other player.
CM12 is already rooted, you can enable/disable it in Developer options to use some other programs.
What I suggest to get:
In LG my icons were bigger which I really liked, in CM12 apparently you cannot make them bigger, everything is smaller but I installed Nova Launcher and even paid for it cause I really like it, you can enlarge your screen and everything is back from what I used to like, you can do so many fantastic things it is unbelievable, I highly recommend it have it installed.
Get Power Toggles!!!!!!! freaking great, makes your life easier.
Don't like camera, missing 4K. but I found better one which I really like and found it on some other forum. Don't remember where I download it but here is zip file you can google (MotoAppsMaterialAOSP.zip) and flash with TWRP.
By the way make sure you have backup and recovery TWRP version 2.8.3.0 the only version works with D852, don't get the latest.
It saved my life, I almost **** my pants few times and had to recover the phone. If you do not have this installed DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT INSTALLING ANY ROMS!!!. there is high chance you can screw this up and all is left garbage bin.
For now I leave it like this because it is really stable, not planning to install later CM12 nighties, for 2 reasons: afraid to make it worth and because I am tired reinstalling apps.
If you are looking to upgrade your phone to a lollipop version and have it as close as LG I really recommend the same setup I have. it is worth it.
If you want to know how to do it you got to google first how to root, install recovery, make back up, the rest is easy. Just watch plenty youtube videos.
By the way to boot into recovery mod on LG G3 here is how (turn it off--> press volume down and power--> let go after you see LG logo, then press power and volume down again) after that you should see TWRP if you have it installed correctly.
I also uploaded small video on youtube what I looks like, I cannot post link on this forum, but if you search on youtube for user "ukrik" it will be there.
I've tried a few roms also
I find that bare CM12 is the best for me. After a Factory reset you have to redo the APNs - I'm on MTS and the apns are showing fido after any re-install/factory reset. I really like the battery performance and also the fact that it is blindingly fast compared to stock. I'm not a power user of the phone so I am quite satisfied with it's current capabilities. The icons diplaying your data connection type are a software glitch that my limited understanding is reporting a data connection but not necessarly showing accurately what type of connection 4g/3g/hspa/cdma/lte/gsm etc. because all of our carriers are not using the exact same network hardware but all are mostly compatible still - especially here in Canada. The network icons in the status bar are showing a data connection and your hardware is connecting but the labels are not quite right. By editing the build prop file you tell the phone whose network you are using so that it shows the right labels I don't think it's anything more than that.
Great ROM!
I confirm that it works on the D851 (T-Mobile, USA) model as well.
Anyone try the new radio with cm 12? How's the service and battery life? Both seem off for me.
Hello XDA,
I recently got my hands on an S5 (SM-G900F) and it seems better than my Nexus 5, so I want to make it my main phone. As I do with all my phones, I immediately removed the vendor's bloatware/spyware by rooting and installing some custom ROM. This time I started with CM12.1, which seemed to be OK based on various comments here and reviews online.
However, I've run into several serious problems.
1.) Erratic Bluetooth behavior:
When paired with my car audio system, there are frequent pauses and "static" noises. Also, sometimes, when it pairs with the car, I can control the music via the car's navigation buttons but the music plays through the phone's speakers (!?!?). One more annoying issue: it pairs but sometimes wont start the music player, no matter how many times I press the "Play/Next" button on the car system.
2.) Wi-Fi Issues:
No matter which Wi-Fi I connect to, after a couple of hours I get the warning icon and I cannot access the internet (and it won't even switch to mobile data), so I miss important stuff without realizing. This is fixed by simply turning the Wi-Fi off and on again but, still, it's a show stopper.
3.) Random vibration:
I don't understand why the S5 just randomly vibrates in my pocket or why it vibrates and the screen turns on whenever I move it. I've found it unlocked and with random apps open, many times, after taking it out of my pocket...
4.) Bad Camera app
The Camera app that came with CM12.1 cannot take a single good picture; they're all blurry. It seems to have a problem with auto-focus. I had to install Snap Camera to take pics.
Since I originally installed CM12.1 based on positive feedback here on XDA, I would like to be a bit more cautious this time and ask people with more hands-on experience with the S5 to suggest a more stable ROM for me. I don't have any particular preferences. Anything that can run Nova Launcher is fine.
Thank you very much for your help

Hello, first time posting on XDA.
Recently bought a G900F aswell, rooted and flashed straight away the latest build of CM 12.1. Glad to see someone with the same issues as me.
Starting with the camera, I also notice the blur and the extreme auto focus problem. Good to know that others have it because I didn't even try it on stock so I was worried it was a hardware problem, going to give it a try on it or on another ROM to see the difference. I had a P970 and it also had camera problems initially with CM so I'm guessing it's normal for klte since there are only a few nightlies out yet.
The random vibrations are a thing, the phone heats sometimes and the battery autonomy isn't the best.
As for ROM's I'm going to start with SIXPERIENCE 7.0 because CM isn't kinda giving it to me yet, but I'd gladly hear which ones you guys recommend.
Stock ROMs are incredibly stable and smooth with a new launcher like Nova
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?

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.

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.

New here so first, Hello to everyone.
I am planning to buy a LEMFO Lem4 pro. The things that attracted me most is the large screen and full call functionality. Have watched a number of reviews on YT which helped to gain trust on the build quality & battery so far, but left with the following questions-
1. Once YT video I saw on "Hidden Settings" where every app opended were in Potrait mode. So, is there any option to make all apps in landscpae orientation, to work comfortably from wrist?
2. I saw some posts regarding problems after OTA. So, id there anyway to disable OTA update or there is a fix already?
3. Saw something regarding GPS/Accelarometer not working but starts working after inserting SIM. Does that problem still prevails or any solution out there?
4. Can someone give a hands on review after a month / number of days use? How it's still going? How much stress it still handles? Touch response slow? Wrist turning activating watch slow? something like these.
5. Is it okay to stay with the stock android if I strictly want to use for making calls, reading emails, sending text and use absolute necessary apps like Google maps or YT. Or there is a way to root yet?
6. Previously I was planing to buy Finow Q1 pro, then saw a serious notification problem (from XDA board). Is there any software related issue with the stock android also?
Thanks for you patience .
Re Lem4 pro
I have a Lemfo Lem4 pro since 3 months and i use it as my primary phone with sim inside.
1 : use 'rotation control' apk on play store.
2 : no problems after OTA.
3 : no problem with GPS (but i have my sim inside).
5 : it's ok with stock Android and not rooted.
This is the best watchphone i ever get ( have tested more than 10 models since 10 years ), the sound is really good in phone call, the screen is great (cool for the eyes), GPS is ok with Google-Map, wifi and bluetooth ok, despite the big screen she's cool to wear because lightweight, strap can be change... I use it with vocal command (Google) for everything : call, reply to sms, research, etc...
No problems and happy with this watch.
I have already bought the new Lemfo LEM4 Pro watch phone about 1 month ago and I love it! Nice big enough 2.2 inch screen, easily visible at daylight
Looks Slimmer and weights lighter than the Neptune Pine and with 16 Gigabyte of onboard non-removable memory, I have already installed many apps and used almost half of its memory (only apps, no music, photos or videos as they take huge amounts of memory, but I did copy some of all aforementioned files just for fun and they work great)
It comes with a very restrictive app launcher, just install any launcher from the Google Play store and you can install any widgets and apps you like, I went for the Nova Launcher and it works great
On the negative side, the GPS doesn't work (maybe I am doing something wrong?), it has only one useless other than video conferencing front facing camera that has terrible resolution and accelerometer doesn't work for some reason
But I much prefer it than the bulky Neptune Pine, also thinking of buying a cheap flat camera for the occasional snapshot that I need to take while on the go

I have to agree. I have two Neptunes 128GB. I also have a lem4. They are all wasted by the crippled Kernel and OS.
Now the LEM 4 PRO. Wow, I paid over the odds for it, but I didn't mind as LEMFO UK, have always been good to me.

Its semi rooted. Very frustrating, as I cant use any of my banking apps.
I ended up fully rooting. Rooting was tricky. I started by following what I posted in LEM4 thread. Root fails. So you have to factory reset phone. Install the Windows version of Kingoroot and run that on freshly erased LEM4 PRO. It will take a while and then come back saying its failed. Reboot LEM4 PRO, install SuperSU app and you will find its rooted even though it failed. Bonus is now it didn't install all the Kingo crap.

many thanks for the replies everyone. I have already ordered Lem4Pro and now waiting for this to arrive. About the rooting, can you elaborate the process a little? May be 6-7 bullet points? That would be very helpful. And I remember to read some guide line about the GPD issue ... here it goes for you guys to try out-
I found a solution to broken GPS on Lem4 pro if it has failed for some if they factory reset watch after the latest firmware upgrade. I flashed back the Aug 2 firmware and did not factory reset after this update and GPS returned to normal. To keep GPS working you must not factory reset watch after OTA or Flashing firmware All good now This is a temp fix until or if a new firmware fix becomes available.

Hi, could you share a link with aug 2 firmware? Unfortunately GPS does not work in my lem4 pro too. Thank you.
How Can I remove google account on my Lem4 Pro? I need to change google account on my Play Store in Lem4 pro. How to change it?
Phone call quality.
Hi all!
Regarding phone call quality of you useing the watch as a stand alone, how good is it? How good is the signal strength compared to regular cell phone?
And how well does Google assistant translate voice accurately? Does it mess up text messages?
I've had Lemfo lem 4 and was disappointed about phone call quality, even changing providers. People couldn't hear all of what I said when having lesser reception, even if my cell phone had no problems in same areas. I live in Stockholm, so signals should not be a problem unless it's a week antenna on the Lemfo.
Any experiences about this would be much appreciated!
Best regards!

I have a Lemfo Lem4 pro since 3 months and i use it as my primary phone with sim inside.
1 : use 'rotation control' apk on play store.
2 : no problems after OTA.
3 : no problem with GPS (but i have my sim inside).
5 : it's ok with stock Android and not rooted.
This is the best watchphone i ever get ( have tested more than 10 models since 10 years ), the sound is really good in phone call, the screen is great (cool for the eyes), GPS is ok with Google-Map, wifi and bluetooth ok, despite the big screen she's cool to wear because lightweight, strap can be change... I use it with vocal command (Google) for everything : call, reply to sms, research, etc...
No problems and happy with this watch.

Excellent info!
One question; do you have experience of the regular lem4 (not the pro), and if so, is the call quality or signal strength any better?
Reason for question is that I owned the regular lem4 and had problems with the antenna.
Thx!
Beware that this device is not equipped with a magnetic sensor. Very sad, given I bought it exactly for navigation (why else would you want a smartwatch with huge screen? who would expect that nowadays devices without compass still exist?!) GPS navigation software will not be able to show you direction of you walk, only change in your location - very inconvenient...
Guys,
Have one of these but find if i charge it from a pc then the display becomes corrupt and disappears. The only way to fix
this is to reboot the watch after every recharge. Is this normal?.Thanks

Good to know about the gps hardware that is non-existent!!
Actually, this is just one more thing to frustrate me even more right now.
Im from Brazil and I just bought this new huge thing in my tiny wrist ( the pictures I've seen on internet do no justice of it's size and bulkiness) and the one thing i have to say is: i dont know what im doing.
I wasnt able to put another keyboard that was easier to use,
i couldnt syncronize with my phone so that I could receive the notifications
I wasnt able to get it to recognize my sim card until one day later with it inserted
I wasnt able to get it to respond to my "ok google".
the google voice command that people told me to install receive my commands in portuguese but only obeys if they in english (?! wtf) so I can't really use it because it recognizes what i am saying in english as the closest word in portuguese there is...
I wasnt able to do voice-to-text writing even tho it came with the device settings.....
realsed only just now that there practically no apps for this particular smart watch that really is fitted for it.
all of the apps for smart watches on the play store are for Android Wear watches and dont work on it, because this is an Android 5.1 especifically made for this product...
I'm just lost as, on top of all that, all the content I find on the internet to educate myself is in english and in technical jargon
Very frustrated!
Lemfo Lem4 Pedometer
Hi,
I have an issue with my Lemfo Lem4 Pro, which is pedometer functionality.
With embedded watchfaces very often pedometer counter resets to 0, rarerly allowing to count more than 1000 steps. This is annoying
Additional applications for counting steps installed work properly and count.
Any ideas?
Have you tried this launcher? Works ok on the Lem4 Pro.

I still prefer the Google Launcher though.

Seems to be a round watch launcher. The LEMFO in this forum is the square one.
Does it need rooting?
Yes it works perfectly for the 640x320 screen of the LEM4 Pro without any adjustments. I'm testing that launcher now and am very impressed so far. It seems to be popular with fans of the watch.

Replacement Charger Cable
I have the LEMFO LEM4 Pro and my charger has been damaged and will not charge my watch. The wires have separated near the magnetic connector. Would anybody know where I could get a replacement charger for my LEM4 Pro?

Check AliExpress. Make sure you double check the style of charger. Some are curved like the Lem6 / Lem5
