Hi everyone, I am taking a roadtrip with my little one next month and was wondering if anyone knew of a remote accessory for the tab that would allow me to control video playback on the tab so I could set it up for the baby in the back seat and hit play if he gets fussy. Or maybe an app that would allow me control from my photon in the front seat? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx in advance.

Hi all,
I'm interested in acquiring a second hand Galaxy S, and just had one question.
I read somewhere that some apps are not compatible with the TV out functionality of the GS. Does anyone know if the NHL GameCenter app works with TV out (specifically are you able to watch videos and live feeds)?
I've attached the app for your convenience.
If anyone could test this out for me, it'd be much appreciated.
TV-out and your game
It is likely that if you had rooted your GTi9000, the TV-out will not work. The TV out only work with samsung Kies OS. It is not only your game, all other apps will not run if you rooted your phone. Or else the game should run on TV out.
Hello guys,
Sorry if this is a repost, I searched the forum for a similar post though..
Can someone confirm me that the TV app can work like my Harmony One?
Let's say I wanna watch tv:
TV ON
TV set to HDMI 1
Home Cinema ON
Home Cinema set to TV Input
Decoder (Belgian Telenet Digibox) ON
Thanks a lot!!

YES i can operate my old LG TV + DVD+ Decoder form TV operator. if that app dosn't have pre configured remote for your device just simply point remote to IR and it will learn keys directly. it works like a charm
yes, it will work. However I like the app "Smart Remote" much more, albeit it's quite pricey.
Thanks a lot!
Could you please point out witch one you use?
Google Play Store
Looking forward receiving this beauty!

It is not as bloated as the HTC Tv app and allows you to place a configurable tv widget on your homescreens

Wow, does it come with a gold remote? Thanks for the heads up!!
Happy New Year!
As per title, there is a software that works with the Note 3 and S4 which functions as a Remote Control for TVs, stereos etc.. This software is called WatchON, is installed by default on Note 3 and uses irDA (infrared) to control the aforementioned equipment.
There is now another part of this software which works specifically with WatchON and is only for Samsung Galaxy Gear. It is made by Peel. It functions as a remote tv etc. control using the irDA of the phone. So you leave the phone on the sofa looking the TV and can change channels using the Galaxy Gear..
More info here:

Well I cannot find this specific app for my Galaxy Gear to install it! If anyone has it could you please upload it?
Thanx.

The Gear has no IR emitter. There's no hardware to support it, it's impossible.

Yes I know that it has no IR hardware.
The Gear uses via bluetooth the WatchON app and the IR hardware of Note 3 to send commands to TVs etc.
In other words the Gear is used as a companion to WatchON app which is installed on the phone and sends the commands via BT to the phone which are then transmitted via the IR emitter of the phone to the TV set.
I am trying to find and download the Remote Control app which allows the Galaxy Gear to function as mentioned above.

I'm all for doing tech because you can do it, but that'd be a total waste that I can tell. You'd have to get your phone out, make sure it was pointed at the TV, then use the BT on your watch to control the phone to control the TV?

Haven't seen it, but it sounds like a cool idea to me. If you never have to touch a remote while watching a program, I get that this may seem a bit much. However, when you have multiple interruptions (think kids) and the remote has gotten lost between the pillows, the value of this idea becomes obvious.
I'll see if I can't find it.
That app hit the gear store awhile ago and was subsequently pulled within a few days-no idea why-did try it and it was more trouble than it was worth-after a few minutes I ended up uninstalling

it sounds rather usefull to me. i have my note 3 connected to TV/projector sometimes, and it's usually pointed at the screen anyway so having the ability to pause/change volume etc from my wrist would be more than cool.
Did anyone ever find this app?

I had the app when I first got my gear.
Samsung has a new feature that may or may not be useful for ChromeCast.
I'm hoping someone here has the S8 device and can check for us?

This is a life saver for parents
Go to Settings - sound and vibration - Separate App sound (all the way at the bottom)
Turn on and pick the app you want(limited to 1 app at a time)
Then choose the location (I chose Music to bluetooth)
This way I can still listen to music and be able to hand my daughter my phone so she can watch youtube

And I posted this question on that thread:
CZ Eddie said:
One of my issues with the Google ChromeCast is that when the phone is used as a source, all audio is sent over that ChromeCast connection.
You cannot divert the audio to Bluetooth for bluetooth speakers/headphones.
Does anyone know if this new Samsung feature will allow you to divert ChromeCast audio to Bluetooth?
That would be pretty darn cool if it did.
EDIT: Btw, I don't have the Samsung phone.
I was linked here from a Google Pixel thread. But I'm really interested to know the answer to my question above.

Could someone maybe assist. I received the latest update and everything is working fine. When pulling down from the top on the quick toggles I discovered a quick toggle that says TV Remote. Anyone one else noticed it? When opening it it says searching for devices and just stays searching. Has anyone gotten it to work? I searched in settings for the tv remote, but can't find anything
You have a Samsung TV?
I have 2 Samsung smart tv's
I have figured it out. It's for Android tv's. I have 2 of them and you pair the tablet with the tv and control certain features of the tv
