At this time, you can pick up one of these from Gamestop:

But I saw these that will be out in about a month:

Happy hunting.

Thanks, looks great! Just need to get GameStop Sweden to stock it!

I've tried lots of off brand bt controllers and they simply feel cheap on don't respond well. I eventually broke down and did the PS3 method and been happy ever since.
The sixaxis app used with the PS3 controllers also let you dedicate buttons to screen areas so it works with more non controller games. Food for thought.

[Q] Sense TV

Hey folks, played some time with Sense TV and there is one limitation which sucks. If you setup your TV provider and the list of channels to show, SenseTV shows the list of channels in the order, the provider is delivering them. I have no possibility to change this order to my needs. E.g. I have CNN set on channel 12 but my provider has it by standard on channel 56. If I click on an entry within the EPG, the one change the channel to 56 instead of 12 (which) I need.
Did someone managed to change the order of channels (SenseTV --> Settings --> Channels)?

Sorry, I Don't think you can (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Another limitation is where you setup two "remotes" with different providers, e.g. for UK, I have SKY in the living room and just normal freeview in the bedroom. However, I have to have SKY channels setup for both.
What they should of done is to have settings per room, instead of just remote so I can switch rooms and the content will change accordingly. If someone knows a way around that then please let me know.

It doesn't seem to work with many tvs either. It's got all the brands listed but I tried for a good hour and couldn't get my small LOGIK tv to work with it. It tried 3 different codes to try and pair but none worked so it told me to do it manually which didn't work either.

Strange, usually the manual method should work. All mine worked first time.

Yeah the manual setup didn't work for me... Could you tell me what you had to do? I it asked me to point the remote straight at the ir blaster and hold down the power button on the logik remote but the phone didn't seem to pick anything up

That's exactly what I did, it's tricky to line up though, it took me a few attempts sometimes.

Wich is the best tablet to use with an HTC one?

My friends, I'm thinking that I really need a tablet to complement my SGN2. I don't want to close any option before I hear from you. I'm an advance user, and I'm looking for something that really gives me more that my sgn2. I used to have an iPad I sold it because only my children were using it to play around, but since the anounncement that office 365 was out in USA, I'm thinking to get me an iPad mini. Another choice might be an w8 tablet, since I want it only to get my job done (lots of reports and presentation, microsoft dominates my working environment). I was thinking also to let go my SGN2, get an HTC one and buy a note 10'. What do you think?? Please help me out here.

Or wait a month or two for a probable announcement of the next Nexus 7 Unless you need something bigger in which case a new Nexus 10 should make it's way to announcement soon as well~

wait for the new N7 or N10
if you're getting an android tablet might aswell be a nexus

But what do you think of the other tablets?, I want it to use it on my job, advance tools for powerpoint and advance tools for excell... on Android I can't seems to find somethingh as powerfull as the office suite.
I've allready have an apple account with several software bought, maybe w8 is a good choice but it's a new system and just to have to buy all over again just doesn't seems right.

Well it's weird then that you're asking on here what NON-Android/HTC device to get considering you're already leaning way towards an Apple device anyway for the above stated reasons

Thats beacause I don't know everything and maybe there is something that I'm missing, don't you think?

It's a work based tablet. You shouldn't be buying a tablet for work though

I am using galaxy note 8.0 and HTC one. You just can't get wrong with the combination.
I used S4 which I think was really laggy and half of the memory was taken by Samsung apps.HTC one get the dev edition from HTC USA online store.
It is amazing piece of equipment.

Sure, I'll use it only when I feel creative. I also have an Lenovo X220 Tablet and is really to big and heavy to carry arround. That's my main working device, but on the go, sometimes y feell that my SGN2 just doesn't help me all the way. I'll take a look at that Dell. thank you!!

Nexus 7 hands down. Love mines from day 1.

Thank you for posting the fix. Nothing worse than searching for help and finding a "NVM fixed it" without how it was done.

Is it possible to share APK's with NFC? I never seem to be able to share what I want to share with NFC.

I'm personally not sure. I'm the only one I know that has NFC. :sly:

NFC is super slow. So far, Android Beam can only send LINKS, like Youtube, Drive, Play store, etc and small files like contacts.
S beam uses NFC to trigger Wifi direct. But that's only Samsung to samsung.
Unless I'm wrong. In which case please show me the light. I know of no effective way to transfer files from android to android.

Use the app SuperBeam for nfc and qr code wifi direct file transfers.

As of jellybean nfc initiates Bluetooth to transfer larger files but things like links and other small files like u meantioned use android beam.
As gk said I'd also recommend superbeam I've used it to transfer with a nexus 7 and works like a charm it resembles s-beam in a way as it uses WiFi direct

Which leads me to another question... Why in the hell does android have wifi direct but not take advantage of it? It would be so much better... Apple took advantage with airdrop or whatever new iOS 7 feature that is...

I think Samsung might of patented their s-beam which could be the reason y android used Bluetooth instead

IR blaster

Hello everyone!
How do you like the IR blaster on your Butterfly?
What is the effective range it can achieve?
How "directional" is it? (Is it necessary to point it directly to the IR receiver of your TV/etc?)
Does it have a "learning mode" like the HTC One? (Is it possible to teach it IR codes by pointing a remote toward it and pressing the button you want to record?)
Thanks

That's great news! Thanks for the info.
What about the "learning mode"? Does the Butterfly S have it, too, or is it exclusive to the One?
(I have several old remotes which are probably not included in the database of the IR blaster app, so this would be an important feature for me.)

The app and functionality is identical to my one so I can learn remotes the app is literally the same for functions
I think the ir on my butterfly is a little more directional than my one
