IR blaster - HTC Butterfly S

Hello everyone!
How do you like the IR blaster on your Butterfly?
What is the effective range it can achieve?
How "directional" is it? (Is it necessary to point it directly to the IR receiver of your TV/etc?)
Does it have a "learning mode" like the HTC One? (Is it possible to teach it IR codes by pointing a remote toward it and pressing the button you want to record?)
Thanks

That's great news! Thanks for the info.
What about the "learning mode"? Does the Butterfly S have it, too, or is it exclusive to the One?
(I have several old remotes which are probably not included in the database of the IR blaster app, so this would be an important feature for me.)

The app and functionality is identical to my one so I can learn remotes the app is literally the same for functions
I think the ir on my butterfly is a little more directional than my one

It depends on what you use it for. The HTC app has the built-in tv guide but the app the OP mentions has other options and is a real universal remote.
It works the same way as the HTC app does. You give in what type of device you want to control (beamer, tv, home cinema, lights, ...), the brand, and if possible a model number. The app then tries some codes untill one works. I actually like this very much. I only use the HTC app for the remote functionality and not for the tv-guide so having this expanded to a lot more devices is interesting to me.
fully worked on samsung n8000

[EDIT - no barometer on H1 duh!] Anyone find a working barometer app?

I haven't found an app in the market that displays my htc one's barometer reading properly, or at all really. Is it just me?

I was not aware the One has a Barometer (you mean a barometric pressure sensor?)?
Yes, that's what I meant.
Well, that would certainly explain it, if it doesn't have one!
So it doesn't? Maybe I've been reading too many s4 vs h1 articles where it listed the s4 as having a barometer but didn't comment on the h1.
It doesnt have a temperature sensor

Not that I ever noticed I got to test it out myself

Yeah. I knew about it. But the ir blaster has to be facing the TV.
Isn't this only a feature in smart remote? I didn't think it was built into sense.

I assume you meant 4.4.2, not 4.2.2...? But I haven't even heard of Polar Beat before, so I can't help you.

Completely off-topic. Polar Beat is not a ROM, it's an app (which you could have found out in less than two seconds if you simply googled the name before posting).
Yes I meant 4.4.2!
Polar Beat is an app that works with Polar sport devices e.g. heart rate strap, Polar Loop, etc. However it works for Samsung, LG But not HTC.
Wonder anyone here can get it to work.

Motion gestures

Hello every one.
So everyone heard about motion gestures.
I have sense 6 toolbox, and there is an option to have the same features.
But unlike m8, this will use the actual touch screen while the screen is turned off.
Which means that the touch screen will always be activated (24/7)
My question is : will this damage the touch screen? Or its normal for the screen to be activated all the time?
I would really like to have this feature but I'm afraid that it will damage my phone.

On the M8 how do you think is working without the touchscreen? It's not having nothing special, the touchscreen is on even on M8.
And Yes you will not broke your touchscreen.

I'm asking this question because in HTC's website, it says that it works by built in sensors...
But it doesn't make sense, so I created this thread...

It's working with touch screen on and with the Accelerometer on M8 (to force you to put the phone in vertical position).
What HTC is telling us is only marketing, publicity........ and so on.
Why do you think that they don't put this feature in M7? They must say that the M8 is more advanced because is having some magical new sensors only to sell.
