I searched in the Playstore and on google for an app to control TV's (i have a Samsung smart-tv D8000) with the infrared function. My girlfriend has the Sony Tablet S and it has a beautifull pre-installed app which can connect with every TV. Is there such an app around? If not can someone try to port it?
Xperia Z does not have IR blaster, unless you have the Japanese version.
ZL has it too.
I don't see why it wasn't included, but whatever, it's still awesome without it.

Hi guys,
I've recently got a Playstation 3 and want a remote control. Now, like most of you I have a universal remote controlling all my other gear (TV, amplifier, fridge, etc). The remote offered by Sony is Bluetooth, not so helpful when I want to integrate it into my existing universal remote control (Logitech Harmony 525).
I was wondering if anyone has managed to find a decent IR option to plug into their PS3 - I know they exist, and I've heard mixed reviews.
I would ideally like all the functionality of a decent remote (so I can control my PS3 (turn on/off, eject and all other normal functions watching a DVD/blu-ray) using my universal remote control. So I would probably need to purchase some third-party (USB) IR device and integrate it into my Harmony 525. Not too much to ask?
Any recommendations guys?
Ray.

Typical Samsung, they have released a remote tv app for their Smart TVs called Allshare Control.
It installs (Play claims it is compatible with the Note), then flops with the usual bad grammar "AllShare Framework does not installed, the application will exit". S3 users claim some success.
Thanks Samsung - why can't you make products that integrate? Ever heard of product integration? It's when products you make actually work together?
But then again, this is Samsung. Silly me, of course they can't.
These are the people who convinced me to buy a "Smart TV" with apps, like a browser. Er, how do I type? With those big arrow keys on your tv remote, of course!
Ever tried to enter text using one of these? Absolute joke, no it's worse than that, it's some form of primitive torture. Practically fraudulent it's so awful.
Anyone anywhere know if there's a way we can get the Note to interact with a new LED Samsung TV, with or without AllShare Control? Can we hijack the AllShare Framework from an S3?
No replies - but found an answer, entirely unofficial but brilliant SamyGoRemote. Works pretty well for text input, which is the killer app for tv browsing. Recommended.

Hi, I have Samsung UE40ES6100, the "samsung remote" app works, but there is no keyboard, and the slide/mouse works too slow. The "sammyGo remote" app doesn't seem to discover the TV. Are there any alike apps you know ?
P.S. I have an xperia neo, but I don't think that could be the problem

Not working on S4 i337
Hi guys,
Anyone had any luck with these?
Have installed the Gmail and Email smart extras from Google Play, they're supposed to be accessed by the Smart Connect, but can't seem to see or use them?
Thanks guys.
You need Sony smart headset pro (MW1) or the smartwatch to use them,
Look at pic (I'm using headset now)

I'm using them with my Sony SmartWatch. Works excellent!

Do Smart Extras work on non-Sony smartphones?

Hi everybody,
Yesterday I received my Sony Smart Wireless Headset pro that I would like to use with my Alcatel Onetouch 997D Android smartphone (Android 4.0.4/ICS).
Pairing was no problem - the Bluetooth headset works fine for music and for calls. (The latest firmware 0.1.D.0.6 was installed via my PC.)
I also installed the Smart Connect app and the app for the Smart Wireless Headset pro on from the Play Store - but I simply don't know how to use Smart Extras on my headset!
In the "devices" tab of the Smart Connect app my headset appears but I can only define events.
I don't see the notification "Smart Wireless Headset pro connected" you can see on waynekirby's screenshot...
How can I use Smart Extras? Do they only work on Sony smartphones?
(The Smart Extras were the reason I changed my headset from an MW600 to the MW1.)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Happy New Year!
As per title, there is a software that works with the Note 3 and S4 which functions as a Remote Control for TVs, stereos etc.. This software is called WatchON, is installed by default on Note 3 and uses irDA (infrared) to control the aforementioned equipment.
There is now another part of this software which works specifically with WatchON and is only for Samsung Galaxy Gear. It is made by Peel. It functions as a remote tv etc. control using the irDA of the phone. So you leave the phone on the sofa looking the TV and can change channels using the Galaxy Gear..
More info here:

Well I cannot find this specific app for my Galaxy Gear to install it! If anyone has it could you please upload it?
Thanx.

The Gear has no IR emitter. There's no hardware to support it, it's impossible.

Yes I know that it has no IR hardware.
The Gear uses via bluetooth the WatchON app and the IR hardware of Note 3 to send commands to TVs etc.
In other words the Gear is used as a companion to WatchON app which is installed on the phone and sends the commands via BT to the phone which are then transmitted via the IR emitter of the phone to the TV set.
I am trying to find and download the Remote Control app which allows the Galaxy Gear to function as mentioned above.

I'm all for doing tech because you can do it, but that'd be a total waste that I can tell. You'd have to get your phone out, make sure it was pointed at the TV, then use the BT on your watch to control the phone to control the TV?

Haven't seen it, but it sounds like a cool idea to me. If you never have to touch a remote while watching a program, I get that this may seem a bit much. However, when you have multiple interruptions (think kids) and the remote has gotten lost between the pillows, the value of this idea becomes obvious.
I'll see if I can't find it.
That app hit the gear store awhile ago and was subsequently pulled within a few days-no idea why-did try it and it was more trouble than it was worth-after a few minutes I ended up uninstalling

it sounds rather usefull to me. i have my note 3 connected to TV/projector sometimes, and it's usually pointed at the screen anyway so having the ability to pause/change volume etc from my wrist would be more than cool.
Did anyone ever find this app?

I had the app when I first got my gear.
As its written above, i am open for hints about ir blaster app what works.

What would you do with the IR first at all? If you know what, then according to your need, you can download some app.
id recommend the stock MIUI app for the IR blaster. has tons of functionality and lots of different applications preinstalled its called Mi Remote and can be downloaded from the play store

You can find it on google somewhere, the Miui remote app. I find it the best one as it has all devices available with just one touch.
as mentioned before, its available on playstore as a regular app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duokan.phone.remotecontroller&hl=en
