[Q] Infrared remote control - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello and thanks for listening...
I've got an HTC one, global model. I recently flashed over to Cyanogen mod 10.2, and so have lost access to the HTC infared remote control app. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for either a decent app on Google play I can download, or knows how to get the HTC remote control app.
Anyway thanks in advance.

Depends if they have fixed the IR blaster yet. When I decided to go to another Rom, it still wasn't fixed yet. (2 weeks ago)

Oh I see, so Cyanogen probably haven't sorted out the IR blaster yet? That's a pain. Cheers

AW: Has Anyone figured out how to use camera remote
You need Android 4.1.2 on GCam and Remote Viewfinder for GC out of the Play Store
Within your camera menu under share you have to enable remote viewfinder and then connect your android device to the cam via wlan and start the remote viewfinder.
And next time, please use the search function of the board.

Thank you for talking to me like a child re searching which I did however can I suggest you start to learn to reads people's threads properly before dishing out criticism
I am as stated not reffering to samsungs own app I know that inside out and have advised in various thread users on how to make it work
I am in fact referring to camera remote by busy www
I can not find the thread where it was mentioned despite searching from the mobile app but i do remember it only mentioned the app not how to use it hence my new thread
I don't think its compatible with the gc as it doesnt even connect on the website system

I got it to work a litte. I can't connect via Wi-Fi (but I think that's a NAT problem), I did get my Nexus 7 to connect via bluetooth and it sorta works for a while, but the app on the Camera dies as soon as I remotely take a picture.

I can get it to connect, even get a pic in the viewfinder on my phone, but there is a lot of FC's when I try to take an image.
I got it to work rigged up to my home WiFi if that's any help.

I think the maker of the app needs to make it more compatible with the gc

Think that confirms my suspicion the gc definately isn't compatible Cheers ill stop wadting my time trying to make it work
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
As I mentioned in the other thread (I created yesterday), the unreleased beta of the app works much better with the GC.
He is adding video features to it right now and then will re-release it to the store I guess.
You install the same app on both devices and select camera or remote mode on the two devices. (or you use a web browser to control the camera device).
The thread was just a heads up that it has been fixed and will be re-released soon. It works quite well for me.
The author has not given me permission to post the beta here. Maybe send him an email and ask for the beta?
He was very friendly and helpful.

BBC News not compatible ?

Anyone managed to get the apk for BBC news as showing incompatible with the one ?
Weird as it works on other 4.1.2 handsets
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
This might be something to do with the screen resolution that the handset? I remember seeing some thread on Modaco that mentioned that some apps in the play store couldnt be used because of that reason. Will try to did up a link.
I'm sure that it will be sorted out soon anyway.
Cheers
Here is the latest apk. It will install and update itself - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16051659/bbc.mobile.news.uk-2.apk

HTC are aware of the issue with this app and several others and are looking at a fix.
Works ok for me
Works ok for me too, although initially couldn't find it on Play Store. It turned up on the Top Free tab and installed fine

Best IR Remote app?

Hey guys, I've been trying to find the best IR remote app lately and I'm not finding what I'm looking for. I usually just use the stock TV app which works okay, and just recently I got the Smart IR Remote for HTC One and it's nice looking, has some good features. Mainly, I'm looking for an app that works like a harmony remote does. So I press "Watch TV" and it turns every thing on that is needed and changes the inputs to what they need to be on.
Does anyone know of an app like this? It would be great! I could totally eliminate my Harmony Remote for good!

Not sure if it works with it but Logitech released a harmony app. Search harmony in the play store

Yeah I saw those, they only work with their Harmony Connect hardware or Harmony Link hardware.
Thanks though*

Do you recommend Smart IR Remote for HTC One? I like the stock one but I don't want any of the channel or guides as I don't any of those services where I live.
Can you make Smart IR Remote for HTC One to learn commands from other remotes? I want to use the One for controlling my AC units in the house as well
Thanks!
Icontrol is free in of the thread in xda... It works well.. Even with my pedestal fan.... :thumbup:

I don't think it's possible hardware-wise. HTC One doesn't have an infrared receiver. It's only got a transmitter. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong, it's the S4 that can't learn codes. The stock and Smart IR can both learn codes, and from what I've heard Smart IR does have amazing support.

The stock TV app does learn codes. I'll give Smart IR a try.
The iControl app can be downloaded from here.

"TV" like app.

Hey guys. Unlike many posts I've read, I actually love the TV app that comes stock with the One and its one of the many things that really make me reconsider rooting & using different ROMs. I love having the IR blaster and I think its one of the many things that makes this phone unique. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good app that is similar to the TV app that I could find in the play store (or elsewhere) that I could use without stock. Thanks!

Smart ir remote is the best one i tried. Here you can see a review:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...es-wet-dream-but-it-comes-at-a-premium-price/
The IR blaster will not work currently with AOSP roms though correct? Only Sense based ones IIRC.
The IR blaster will only work on Sense ROMs and 4.3 Google Edition ROMs. AOSP and 4.2.2 Google Edition don't have the drivers for the IR blaster.
I also like the TV app and would like to see if it could get ported to a GE 4.3 ROM. I tried moving the TV apk and IR blaster apk to the GE ROM but the app kept force closing

I've moved this thread to the proper sub-forum. Please be mindful to post questions only in the Q&A sub-forums next time

What Remote app are you using for the IR on Google Edition?

I just bought a HTC One Last week, and converted it to a full blown Google Edition before even using the phone. (I am a stock Android kinda guy)
I am running the latest 4.3 Software, Stock.
My understanding is the IR blaster now works, but I see Google hasn't provided an app to use it on my phone. What app do you use/recommend?
I haven't converted mine but Google search smart remote for HTC one. Awesome app.
