[Q] IR Blaster - Google Edition

Hi all.
Ive had a good search round no with no joy so I thought Id ask,
With the release of the new Google Edition 4.2.2 base, does the IR blaster work?
Does this mean we will have working IR blaster on other AOSP roms as well?
Assume so, but would just like confirmation.
Thanks,

will do in the future

Does it really not work?? I just assumed that you could find an app that would take advantage of the dormant blaster.

There are no APIs in AOSP to utilize the IR blaster. Functionality is said to be coming.

[Q] WatchOn APK, not working properly. Helpplease

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.

Remote control

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

Thanks again . Could you suggest the similar model with open IR blaster? I really need one which has dual SIM and an open IR blaster which is compatible with various IR apps.

I bought seven of these l90 phones. Univision branded tmobile phones. The box is only thing with univision. It works with all tmobile sims. These retail around 99.00 on family mobile and were 229.00 at tmo last year. Im happy to have snagged mine for 30.00 usd each at my store. Lol. Time to root. My note 4 is getting a break. Lol

Do custom ROMS affect game experience?

Can the phone's IR be used as a TV remote?

I know Pocos couldn't. Is this different?

Yes you can, there even is an app called MI Remote which is compatible with most TV's.

The Pocophone doesn't have an IR Blaster.
Someone made a joke about the camera sensor being IR and using it to control your TV, and everyone being dumb, they followed.
