Hello there!
I have a galaxy 3 and I downloaded WatchOn apk file. It installed successfully and everything else, BUT when I try to connect to my Epson projector. It does not work, help me please.
I know this is a issue with my device because my cousin has a galaxy 4 and it works great for him. He can turn on and off the projector easy.
Looking forward to your reply ^_^

I have no idea what IR blaster is bro. Can u tell me how to get it and use it please bro?
From what I can tell, that phone does not come with an I Blaster which is part of the hardware/build of the phone.

You can't get one. it is either built in to your phone or not. it is an IR (infrared light emitter). A GS3 does not have one. they only started using them on the S4 and the Note 3. On the Note3 it is a small round black looking plastic plug on the top end of the phone just to the right of the speaker. There is a high power IR LED behind that emits beams that can work like a remote for device and they can also be used to exchange data between to similar devices.
That being said by, if you mean by Galaxy 3 as in an S3 then you cannot use this app. On the other hand if you mean a Note 3 then you can use this app and it should require no special settings. Just follow the setup instructions in the app and you are good.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212288
the problem is that many users don't know what it is and thats why every topic about it dies. however, wifi direct is simply amazing and i really would love to see it on my galaxy s. i also send a mail to samsung support but they only redirect that message to the technik-lab in korea so i really didnt get a answer if this will be implented soon. i hope that the developers here can port it ^^
furthermore there is the app "wifi cast lite" which can be test nowadays. it similiar to wifi direct ^^
HI everyone,
I try more than 10 times to share one pic between my brand new Z1 and my wife's S3. The transfer never starts! even the classical NFC sound didn't happened ones!
I do the same with my N7 (2013) and works every time! sound + file sharing
I have no idea why, but it looks to me that is has something to do with Album App.
Did anyone have the same issue?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Some NFC tags work with some devices while others only work with other devices. It seems to be NFC isn't really a standard yet and not all devices work well with each other. The odd thing is I have used NFC with my Z1 and my sister's S3 mini.
Didn't know the Z1 has such a big ego.

It might require a specific app in both to work. I noticed that I can't transfer anyfiles until I have file expert installed on both devices. Although with file expert I can transfer not only photos but pretty much anyfile. Probably other file explorer programs could do the same.
Thank you all for your answers and tips! Appreciate that.
I'll keep trying and let you guys know what happens...
Check to see if the "S Beam" on the S3 is off. Ran into the same problem before with friends. Turned it off and worked like a charm.

"S Beam" has to be off only on S3? or both devices?

Sorry to wake this back up but I tried sending things via wifi direct from the Z1 and it isn't even listed, the procedure for sending things via Wifi Direct on the Z1 is crazy, all you need to do on other devices is to select wifi direct and it goes.
Superbeam kind of works but NFC tagging will only initiate Bluetooth, so hardly great if it's a sizeable file, like a movie or something.

Only on the S3. "S Beam" only exists and works from one Samsung device to another. Once it's off it should work like the standard android beam does.
It'll work but won't initiate WiFi direct. Just Bluetooth, which sucks.

So I bought a Neo and played around with it on my work Note 3. It has fair amount of apps. Well today I bought a S5 Active. I moved my Neo over to it (requires reseting it.) and got gear manager installed. Surprise to me... It seems even though things like the clock face is an app that runs on the phone if the developer doesn't select that it works with a phone you can't use it. Which should be a simple change for most things however it doesn't seem that developers update their Samsung store apps. For the S5 active there are only a handful of apps even though I am sure 99% all the apps would work if the dev would click the "it works with an s5 active"
After dealing with Samsung support (or the lack of it) I tried to get on the Samsung app store webpage. It seems they are having server errors so it was been working like crap. I was kind of able to get contacts for a couple of the app dev's to ask that they update their app to work with the S5 active. Samsung app store doesn't provide contact information unless the dev adds it. One of the devs linked to his google+ page. Which showed he is working to get the same app with improvements to work on android wear.
This got me thinking. Who is going to mess with this crappy half baked Samsung store with Google coming out with Wear? I'd guess we won't see anyone making new Apps for the tizen watches, they don't even update it to work with new phones it will run on with no changes...
I just got the Neo and I am on the fence of returning it. I figured I could get by with apps I had on the Note 3 until someone got a Wear rom for it. With the lack of apps when paired with the s5 I am not impressed at all and after my research today I am liking it less. I got it over the wear because it was only 150bucks vs 225, it has a speaker and IR blaster and Android wear is lacking in features (sure to change in 6 months to a year). I figured by the time wear got up to speed there would be a rom. Thinking about it some I am doubtful, I think the speaker and IR blaster (camera if it is a gear 2) will prevent it from ever happening. None of the wear watches have these so I'd guess there isn't low level support.
I guess I need to return it and wait for the 360 come out.
I had the same problem with my active. I modified the build prop to identify my device as a regular s5 and have all the apps again.

I'm definitely going to sell my Neo and wait for the Moto360. I like the Neo fine, but am getting sick to death of having to run stock based ROMs. I will miss some features of the G2, but damn that 360 looks beautiful and development should be great

I sold my Gear 2 and got the Gear Live. What a huge mistake. I didn't realize how much I missed my Gear 2. Luckily I found someone to trade my gear live for the Gear 2. The card system on Android Wear is terrible.

Phone is rooted, not the watch. I rooted by using towelroot. Look in the particular forum for your phone for instruction, I don't want to give bad advice.

Dear mates,
I intend to buy a new LG phones. I'm in hesitation between LG L90 and LG G3 Stylus.
I really care about their remote function.
I'm wondering if either works fine with a 3rd party remote control apps like Anymote?
and which model can "learn" from other IRR devices?
Please give me your advice.
Thanks a lot
L90 has only stock app for remote and IR is coded to cooperate with only this one app, sadly.
And IR does not work at all if you are wondering about changing stock to custom rom

Oh hey, so they finally went somewhere with that project! I used to keep track of the many developers who have tried over the years, good to see that someone was finally able to pull it off.
How do you like it so far?
Is it worth the transition and side effects?
The side effects are not that bad you have to force a weather card to keep the open gl driver running so that the faces work

That's not to bad, but what about the no mic thing? Since android wear is big on "Ok Google" has that caused any limitations??
I scanned through the thread and so far it looks amazing!! That's my only concern, I really want to try this, but I have custom roms on my other samsung devices that made the IR blaster useless as well lol and I currently don't own a remote for my room.

does anyone have a link or some direction on the where to get the windows drivers for this. i have flashed stuff and used odin for years and i cant get windows to read this in download mode no matter what. i tried tizen and android sdk, installed samsung phone drivers, installed and uninstalled kies. im at a loss. im am using vm on mac but never had an issue with any samsung products. might be a tizen thing.
So, does this mean I can have full use of my neo without the need for a TW rom? I detest TouchWiz
The answer is yes!
Can this be used on other devices as well? I'm going to be moving from a note 3 to a moto x at upgrade and would like to be able to use the neo 2 with it.
