So, we've heard and seen about the IR and remote controller function, but I didn't exactly understand it. Is it going to work with only smart TVs? I mean can we just use it as a normal, universal remote controller?

It will work with any tv, hifi device
(maybe some antique once will have some problems though)

yey, thanks a lot!
I know this is a small feature but I've always been fan of little details like that. When I was a boy, I had a casio watch just doing the same, shame it is not working anymore.
thanks again

I don't think it is a small feature. That means that with the Right soft (understand app) you can virtually have the equivalent to a harmony universal remote control to master all your IR devices such as TV bluray home theater. I have an harmony and its awesome. Getting old though.

I would like to know how to access the IR port for app development .. got some ideas for some cool applications for that IR Blaster
AW: [Q] HTC One Remote Controller function
Already tested it and it works fine.
For most devices there are preconfigired setups. If your device is not listed, you can "teach" the phone by holding original remote to the power button and by pressing any button on remote.
Sadly the set of buttons is limited (only most common buttons available)

HTC released an SDK for that IR port even before the phone was out. Google it and bring us some nice apps!

I have read several reviews saying the IR blaster software supports Sky and Virgin satellite and cable boxes in the UK, my device is due to be delivered tomorrow, but would be interested to hear if any UK owners have tested this yet??

I am planning to develop IR apps for RC Car and alarm remote for a real car Of course I need a device first for testing.
If only they could have put the IR port just beside the camera I could have made something alot more better hahaha!

Bigger hint: The App is called "TV" in the App drawer!:laugh:
Have to say i'm quite impressed with it, i thought it was just a bit gimmicky but after trying it out it's quite good.
My 8 year old son was very impressed with it...."woah mum, dad's phone can turn the TV over!"......the wife wasn't impressed at all :laugh:
Can't wait to get back to work in a few weeks and start p***ing the lads in the canteen off by turning the TV over!
Great thing is, that SGS4 also have IR sensor.
So we can expect some nice apps in near future and another devices with such functionality.
Back to the roots, earlier each phone had IR (ok not same like now)
Oh my. This feature is epic.
For Virgin Media users dont select your cable box as Tivo, it doesn't work select Virgin Media in the option.
Its Epic. EPIC EPIC.
I can't get it to work with my Sharp tv. The auto setup fails and when I try to get it to learn from my existing remote it will learn some buttons but not others. So I can mute the tv, but not unmute it. None of the numbers work, but the volume controls do.
Has anyone got any ideas? Would be awesome to get it all up and running.

You can try to teach your phone from a universal remote that works on our TV.
Well the -Vol button on my Denon DAB Hi-Fi remote in my office has just died so this new phone can't come at a better time.
Same for me, The work TV remote is literally in three pieces on the table after someone destroyed it this week.
Hay guys
I was wondering if there are any good applications which would make use of the IR blaster on my HTC ONE
for example TV remote control apps
because i searched the net and couldn't find any good app that works with HTC ONE'S IR Blaster
Actually there is a tv remote controll app pre-installed on the htc one.

Yeah, but CRAPPY LOW-LIFE PLASTIC Galaxy S4 has Infrared. We will see all those apps soon. Till then use HTC Infrared app.
Also, anyone knows if we could have IR file transfer again using some mod xD?
Edit: Added some attributes to GalaxyS4.
Anyone successfully program their HTC One to control their Apple TV? Didn't work properly for me. But I did get it to control my Sony TV.

What about the WD TV? I know there is an app but I want to control my TV and WDTV all on the same page. Weird how the market has literally nothing for a device with an IR blaster built in.

I gave up. On the remote and the WD remote.
One day, there will be some unified remote I hope.
IR apps are thin on the ground because Bluetooth pretty much destroyed the need for the blasters (still chuckle thinking back to eldest daughter sitting 2 phones an inch apart then holding her breath though the numerous attempts to share an MP3.)
HTC have brought the blaster back in a way it was really meant to be used, developers will start coding for it (especially as Sammy had to copy them to stay in the game. )

Hmm. I have a WD TV as well. Will try programming it next.
It's probably proprietary but if someone could make an app that pulls in your Logitech Harmony remote info that would be awesome. I know there is one on the Play Store from Harmony, but it requires a separate device (which we don't need since the IR blaster is built in).

In theory you should be able to point any remote at the IR blaster and get the HTC to learn from it. Not saying it actually works (all my kit was defined in the stock database) but it could be worth a try.

Programming for non-listed remotes works fine - I have done it for two unlisted devices without any problem
htc learns but when i try to add remote it obliges me add tv too.
We need an app that can execute macros and one touch commands similar to the Logitech harmony remotes.

Yeah, tried that with an Apple TV remote. Worked for a few buttons, but not for most.
The IR blaster works really well, used it to change a tv in a cafe at lunch today with great success :victory:
Stock app looks really well done (and lists popular shows that are on), but I haven't explored it too much.

The best app for your HTC ONE has finally returned to the play store!!
Smart IR Remote http://8xvb.qr.ai
No I don't work for them. This app simply blew my mind after trying so many other remote apps on my One. Every other app had such an ugly GUI, but this one is beautiful. I have replaced all my remotes in my home with this one app. It's also useful for trolling at bars.
BTW their support is awesome! They will quickly add your device to the app of its not in there (I did not have this problem), but I can say they respond to emails quick as hell.
Anyways, go check it out! It's a must have app for HTC One owners!
Description
Smart IR Remote, the best InfraRed remote app on Google Play, is now back, and better than ever! With the largest number (and best combination) of features, most beautiful UI, simplest user interface and app flow, and more than 500.000 supported devices (adding hundreds more every day), Smart IR Remote is simply the best IR Remote app out there!
Now compatible with all Samsung tablets and notes carrying an IR Blaster, as well as all similar HTC devices.
Compatible with:
Samsung Galaxy Tab , Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy Note, HTC One, and all other variations carrying an InfraRed Blaster from Samsung and HTC.

Aside from backing up your remote layout and the automatic volume-lowering-function, what else differentiates this application from the remote application already on your HTC One?
Just curious in case I should switch over.
The TV application is useless, at least for me. My country isn't listed and I couldn't get my TV to work. With this app I configured my 2 TVs at home in seconds, you just have to select the make

The TV app just doesnt allow for much customization of the buttons. In smart ir remote you can also create macros. I have one that turns on/off my tv, audio system and set-top box with one button. Smart remotes are useful too. I can take all the important buttons from multiple remotes and combine it into one remote.

Right now it doenst seem to work with rooted devices, or at least non sense roms like mine (running Beanstalk 4.3.1001). But I emailed the developer and they claimed they will be working on solving this problem, but I was looking at all the functions it had and now I'm SUPER excited to see if they can get it to work, I would love to put this bad boy to work.

I would contact the Rom developer also. Could be a Rom/issue. Maybe the drivers aren't there to interface with the ir blaster.

Anyone know of an app that lets the gear work as a remote button to take a picture with your note camera? I believe the sony smartwatch has this feature...i think this would be a nice feature, as you can be in each picture you take and decide when the shutter goes off with a simple tap on the gear screen...
I had that on my Note-2 with Sony Watch.
I don't know of anything for Note-3 and Gear. However, the Note-3 by itself does allow for voice triggering of the camera.

I know you can trigger it by voice, but how cool would it be to see your note camera lens on the gear to see what picture you're taking...and once you're in the picture just tap on the screen to take the picture...
Agreed.
You have identified what could be a great app for the Gear.
I hope developers start releasing Apps for the Gear. It is disappointing that no new apps have shown on the Gear / Samsung Apps store.

This device was released very quickly in order to beat the others to the punch. Therefore, it is not refined yet. Apple will release theirs when it is consumer ready and say they are the first. People will believe it too! Not a hater. Every company claims they have the best in the world.

Hey everyone:
I have been installing and uninstalling lots of apps and widgets to determine what works on the Galaxy Gear Smartwatch. I've got my Gear Null Rom'med and connected to a Galaxy Note 1 Phone. Since I am not giving up my Note 1, the Galaxy Gear looked to be my only choice thanks to the work of the NULL ROM developer. Mostly everything on the Gear works-- except notifications, weather, and third-party contact apps. I'm looking forward to the SMS developments going on in another thread. My partner also has the same phone and Gear, so I've got two mouths to feed!
Otherwise, these are the best apps for the Gear 1 that I have found so far. I am learning some new stuff too, so there may be a part two in the near future.
Please comment, looking forward to your feedback, and I salute all of the developers who are continuing to hack the Gear device. Thanks guys!

Great to see another Torontonian using the same watch/phone combo that I am! What a fantastic and informative video as well...I can't wait to get home and try out that remote media controller as I have my note automatically connect to a decent set of Bluetooth speakers when I walk in the door. It'll be really cool to control the music from anywhere in the house..
I noticed that you are using a stock touchwizz ROM on your note. What version of gear manager are you using and with what degree of effectiveness? I am using an AOKP kitkat ROM on my note that I absolutely love and don't think I could tear myself from but I may just nandroid and try stock if you tell me that there is greater functionality..
Great video! Nicely edited and covers a lot of mysterious capabilities n features that aren't immediately obvious to beginners-including myself. Nicely done!
PS: Love Google Goggles and Price Rythem for instant product information, nutritional facts, reviews, current pricing! Either scan the bar code or take a picture of the item, and your done!
Runner up would be Pie Controls to quicky access your favorite apps. from your watch face.

Hey fellow Torontonian! Does the KitKat ROM on your Note 1 allow you to keep the S Pen features?
I can only get to Gear Manager 1.2 and basically none of the notifications work-- the Gear Manager is only able to open the Contact app on the phone. The Gear's camera app does transfer photos to the phone automatically. Nothing else works in Gear Manager. I can't give up S Note on the phone, so it hasn't been rooted since Samsung released a JB update a year ago. I wish that SMS and email notifications could work but--- but there's not really any other smartwatch that will work with the Note 1 so I accept these compromises.
