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.
Hi,
I have actually been having this problem for roughly 1 year on multiple devices from lollipop to marshmallow. I have a LG G watch R and this issue started happening around the same time i started using my galaxy note 4 on lollipop. It has persisted through to a Galaxy S6 edge plus and now my S7 edge on stock and custom roms.
So the Issue is when ever i install android wear all my notifications sounds disappear after i use my watch for voice commands to make a call or send a sms. My ringtone still works but all sms and application sounds do not. I reboot my phone and sounds come back until i use my voice commands on my watch. Also if i uninstall android wear all sounds are restored and all is perfect again.
I contacted google support and they said they are going to try and help me to correct this problem with android wear, after 45 min they transferred me to LG without telling me and LG was like well what do you want us to do call Samsung.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this or maybe knows of a fix?
Anyways thanks for reading.
I am trying to connect and use all the functions of my Samsung gear fit2 with Lg v 20 , I did install the gear manager, but does open for me. I cannot even find the app shortcut in app drawer.

Thanks in advance.

OK I got mine to work. You'll need to reset the gear fit2. Then try connecting thru the Samsung app.

You have to install 3 apps.

1 . Make sure you have all three apps installed from above post.
2. After re connect your gear .
3. Reboot your phone .
4. Lastly check your notifications setting under Samsung gear 2 app . It's need to be on and double check your message app notification is on as well.

Anwsering phone calls on Gear Fit 2 with LG V20
I have installed all 3 apps and reset my Gear Fit 2 several times and I still can not answer any phone calls on my Gear Fit 2 when connected to my LG V20. I have checked all permissions. I was able to answer phone calls when I had my Note 7. Any help would be appreciated. Answering phone calls was the featere I used most.
Anyone managed to successfully pair the Axon 7 with Gear S (SAMSUNG) using the Gear application?
Phone does pair but without the gear software so no notifications etc...
if Anyone found a solution i would be happy to hear. :good:

I have a gear s2 and pairs with no issues
I am talking about the Gear S first generation...
I load the Gear SW on the Axon 7 and it fails in identifying the Gear S
However normal Bluetooth find's the Gear S with no issues and Pair with it,
This is not the desired outcome since i kind off lose all of the "Smart" features that the Gear can offer.
You need 3 apps installed in order for it to work.
Open gear app scroll down to "About Samsung Gear" app and after you click on it should show 3 apps with version numbers under them and check Button next to them.
Samsung gear, Gear S Plugin, Samsung Accessory Service. If there are no version numbers under them means they are not installed the first is your gear app so obviously installed other 2 are not installed by default so click the check button and that should eventually give you a prompt to install.
if not you need to look for them in the Store. Get the Accessory service first and it should download and install the plugin for you.
Hope that helps.
I have S2 As well but that is procedure that got everything working for me
My gear S2 is regularly loosing connectivity to my Axon 7 because I believe the gear S plugin is killed by the application manager. I have removed all battery saving settings for the Samsung Gear applications but this doesn't help.
To solve this, I have to manually restart Samsung gear application which I believe is restarting the gear S plugin...
My Axon A2017G has the latest firmware version 1.2.0B02 (7.1.1).
Any other tips I may have forgotten ?

I have the same issue with my Gear S3. In the power manager I have turned off everything for Samsung Gear. However the other two apps required (Gear S Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service) is not listed in the power manager settings. So these seems to get killed when the screen is off.
Is there any way of turning off battery saving for all apps? Or can you turn off the power manager completely?
Glad to know I'm not the only one. How others are doing ? Please keep me posted if you find a solution. I'm still hestitating to return it, that's a pity I can't use my smartwatch with this phone... (which is really pleasant except this issue)
I seem to have similar issues with my gear fit2. Still nobody with a solution?
I will do a full reset with the next update in a couple of week and keep you posted but still haven't found any solution so far
I noticed that when I lock with powerbutton the gear is disconnected but not when screensaver time elapses

Hi,
I may have found a possible solution to the problem! It's still not perfect but I managed to successfully have my Fit2 connected to the Axon 7 for over a day (rather than a few minutes).
In Developer Options (Advanced Settings > Developer Options – making sure it's enabled first) set the 'Background process limit' to 'At Most, 4 processes' rather than auto. It appears the auto setting doesn’t handle as many background processes as the maximum, which is why the Fit2 disconnects suddenly. Sadly, it may still disconnect after day or so but it’s a much better compromise compared what I had before.
I have just got rid of my s9 to get the 6t and now I cant seem to get the galaxy wearable app on my 6t to see my watch.. seeing as they are pretty much exact same chipsets.. is it some in the build.prop I can edit to get it to work?
Not sure about editing the build.prop but I have the Gear Fit 2 Pro and the Gear S3 Frontier both connected to my 6T. I found that sometimes the app is kind of finicky to get connected and I will have to turn Bluetooth off and on again, sometimes a couple of times to get connected the first time. Also keep the screen on your phone on to see if there is a popup to connect. Maybe even cycle the watch off and back on also along with the phone if all else fails. I was ready to give up at one point and it all the sudden connected. If none of that works I'm not sure what else to try but maybe someone else will have some ideas.

Along with the Galaxy Wearable app there is also a Gear S Plugin that needs to be installed. The first time I set up my Gear S3 Frontier the plugin was automatically installed but when I had to set my watch up a second time I had to manually install the plugin.

I have the gear S3 frontier and fit2 pro. I paired them with minimal issues. Did you reset your watch before trying to pair it?
I have an S3 Frontier, and every clean install ROM switch I have to reset the watch. I think they do it for security purposes? Unless someone knows something I don't, I've never found a way to reconnect the watch to a different device without resetting the watch. The backup of the watch puts everything right back once connected, but still kind of annoying (as it adds back in "removed" programs and such).
I have to use the MagiskHide Props Module to get all the correct things installed for my watch to work. However on a stock 6T it should just work. That module should only come into play on a rooted / unlocked device.
