[Q] ZL Remote Control Configuration - Sony Xperia ZL

Anybody know how to configure the Videocon d2h HD settop box remote control on Xperia ZL Remote Control App.. I tried all the manual setup procedure and was able to configure buttons using d2h remote control, but on settop box it is not working. I was able configured Samsung tv remote and zl remote control with samsung lcd tv working absolutely fine without any issues. But why it is not working with the d2h settop box. Is there any difference between tv receiving signals and settop box receiving signal.
Please help if anyone has idea about this.
Thanks

Did you use the Samsung control preset that came with the app?
or you set it by manual learning
and on what version are you on?
the remote app was broken before 4.2 .67 firmware
that was the version where it worked fine for me
4.3 is fine too
all other earlier version has the problem when you use the learning function(it learns it but when you press it it doesn't work)

Same problem here,
Currently on stock 4.3 version, even tested with 4.2.2(previous version)
I m not able to configure my FastWay Hd Set Up Box remote by manual method..
It didnt work on STB...
Only default configured codes are working Like SonY Led Remote and Samsung

For those all who have manual learning problems. Its a hardaware defect. You can get your device replaced by sony

Yes, sony told me the same. But it worked on 4.1, and I read a comment where someone wrote that bug got fixed in 4.3.
I still have hope...
Xperia ZL, 4.2.2 Stock (.67), rooted

go in manual mode select cable tv set top box and configure it with ur remote .Dont select satellite set top box

Folks do anyone of you have an APK for this Remote Control App? I want to try this on my Nexus.

I had the same problem when I bought my ZL
problem was fixed on 4.3 update
or you could try flashing AOSP ROM
and use the AOSP remote control to test it(the app is in app & theme section)

[APP] Samsung Smart view Dual View

I will not be monitoring this thread, I have a T-Mobile T999 but wanted to share this with the SGS3 community at large. Feel free to post results, and any additional mods (ie. Getting it to work with ASOP Rom's) in my original thread
For some reason, beyond my comprehension, Samsung have this great app, but have yet to open it up to the SGS3. I have been resorting to downloading it and installing it on my HTC HD2 (Running CM9) backing it up with Titanium, and then copying the backup over to my SGS3, and restoring the backup. A bit round about, but works.
The App, for those that don't know, allows you, with a Samsung high-end TV or BR-Player, use the app to not only as a remote, but as a second mirrored screen, with audio. Great for trips to the kitchen, bathroom, outside, or in another room (although range is limited by your router).
[Supported TV Models]
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2011:
Models greater or equal to LED 7000, PDP 8000
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2012:
Models greater or equal to LED ES7500,(Models greater or equal to LED ES7000 in Europe, Models greater or equal to PDP E8000 Models(E7000 Models in North America)
[Supported Phone]
While technically only SGS2, it works with SGS3 stock rooted rom, but should work on most with a stock base. It will not work on CM9/10 and ASOP ROM's but you could give it a try and let me know.
Here is the actual app, I extracted it from my Titanium backup figuring someone could use it until Samsung get around to updating the Market to let you just download it. The only thing I can't get to work is Bluetooth power on. I can pair with my TV, but it just doesn't show up until I have turned it on. I also had an issue with it working over the the 5Ghz 802.11n band, but with 3.1.9 that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
Version 3.1.9 - 39MB - Confirmed Working for me with 2011 PDP51D8000 Model
Version 3.2.0 - 40MB - Also Confirmed working

What about the 3.2.1 version? Can anyone share it?
Thanks, i didnt even know such an app exists
Anyone? I cannot download it with the sgs3, but could be done with a sgs2. Please share the 3.2.1 version.
Hello,
I have an issue with the App. I can´t see, what there stands. The Display always turns on and off.
I´m using Omega v34.
Edit: I´ve connected it with TV. It is working fine. But the Display turn on and off issue still exists.
App is working with Omega v34. But for me only the remote control and the gaming control.
NO dual view and the other stuff. My TV is UE46C7700.
Screen off and on issue is after device reboot gone.

I can no longer access the new file on my old HD2, it no longer shows up. Tehrefore I can't post 3.2.1 but the viersions here work, and nothing major in 3.2.1 that would require an update and if you look online, it says nothing new. So while 3.2.1 may be nice to upgrade too, I can't see any requirement to do so, if the version you have works.
Just read teh comments on the 3.2.1 version of the app, looks like 3.2.1 doesn't work more than it works. Numerous comments about it breaking dual view, or issues with Flicker. So if 3.2.0 or 3.1.9 work for you, then stay with them
Dual View is only guarenteed to work on Samsung TouchWiz based ROM's. I have it working on both my GIII (Now ith Jelly Bean) and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Custom ROM's may not include all the components that are required to make this work. I doubt anything in 3.2.1 will change this, and make it work for some who aren't working now. Both the TV and the phone have to be compatible or you just get a very large file for a remote control.
Also in the main thread, see link in OP, there is an even earlier version for those to try who are having problems...
works great
bluetooth power on : (selected model tv only.. 7000 and 8000 series have this. others , wouldnt know)
first start app you would turn off bluetooth and wifi and let the app complain about the missing radio and quit app (clean memory in taskmanager to be sure)
now pair your tv > within 50cm reach of the TV (security feature)
turn off bluetooth
start app and wait for it to nag about missing bluetooth. turn on bluetooth with the prog and see in the popup if your tv is listed as paired. if not do the pairing again. (it needs a few tries sometimes) press back and now see if it shows your tv and press bluetooth power on icon and wait for the tv to respond and after that to connect to wifi and connect to your phone.. takes about 40 secs or so.
3.20 works best for s3 i9300 on stock rom
app requires DRM , decryption service and samsung movieplayer and offcourse a samsung build.prop
3.21 porting to s3 > not so easy, you may want to read a little more about the crappiness of it.
edit: using version 3.20 still works great with 4.1.2 luxemburg stock rom rooted with CMW philz touch, modded bootloader, led-mod and signed multiwindowmod, apex 2.4 pro launcher. BT power-on works. in multi-window with other app works. if u dont see controls in fullscreen turn off gesture control and or taskbar hiding or just press where the button supposed to be normally. version 3.22 from market doesnt work, only remotecontrol.
working on perfect on 4.1.2
I am paired but still doesn't show up to power on.

I have the 2011 PDP51D8000 Model TV, and have looked at all menu options, but still can't seem to get power on to work. Not a big deal, would be nice, but I can live without it. Just glad Dual view works flawlessly on both my SGS3 and Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Finally!
I've been looking a long time to get my remote back. Thanks a lot for this!
I can also confirm that this app works fine with Samsungs C8705.
Too bad i got a UE37ES5500 TV and it doesn't support this option.
It works on Galaxy S5
Tested and Working perfectly on Galaxy S5
Can't fint TV.
This app can't find my TV (C8705) any more and I'm using a Nexus 4 with Lollipop. I think it stopped working before I got Lollipop but I'm not sure. I've set a DMZ between my device and TV in my firewall, so that can not be the problem.
Any ideas?

LT28i ICS and Smartdock issue

Anyone with the Smartdock and running the LT28i version of ICS is your ion detecting the smartdock correctly in the Smart Connect (liveware) app? I even did a complete wipe and had it completely stock but Smart Connect will not detect the smartdock or a livedock. It sees when I have just the usb cable plugged in as being just the charger but neither dock is detected nor can I select either dock in the setup of Smart Connect.
Same, just get charging notification.
Hmm that's not good. Anyone else confirm it's not working?

My xperia ION LT28H works fine with live dock.
You must update the app on the market.
then, when the smartdock is connect via HDMI, the tv laucher start automatically.
You can also create a new profile called "smartdock" and select the app you want to lunch when there is no HDMI (clock for instance, like the xperia play).

Just want to bump this and see if you got a reply.
I'm having this problem as well, but the circumstances are a bit different.
The stock LT28H firmware correctly detects the smartdock and rotates the screen as-is, as soon as I have it in the dock and it starts charging. After I update the smart connect software, it no longer acknowledges the dock unless it is connected to a TV via the HDMI output. Not sure if it's an intentional software change or a bug.

I'm currently on LT28H 3.7 as well. However, this has been happening for as long as I can remember having the phone. On every update I always wipe my phone, and the smart dock detection always works, as long as I don't update the Smart Connect software with the one from the market. As soon as I update it, the dock is only detectable if it's connected to a TV. So for now my only workaround is to not update the Smart Connect app.

ah ha. Nice catch. Okay so I just uninstalled the updates I had for Smart Connect and it rolled back to Liveware Manager and yep...smartdock works and is detected without HDMI being plugged in. Sending an email right now to my contact. Thanks for the info.

Hello.
My Xperia SL HDMI output used to work on stock room version 6.1.A.2.55 with my Sony TV (Bravia KDL-32M3000), a while ago I updated to 6.2.B.0.200 and I tough it was working right, but yesterday I plugged my phone to my TV and suddenly it was not working anymore today I made a factory reset and updated to 6.2.B.1.96 and still is not working. Then, just for testing, I made a downgrade to 6.1.A.2.55 via flash tool and the HDMI is still not working, finally I updated again to the latest firmware version (6.2.B.1.96) but nothing seems to work.
I plugged the cable on the TV, selected the right input, entered on the Service Menu of the phone, under Service test>TV-out test>TV-Out On>Get TV Out Status I see this:
Code:
Power Status:
Active mode
HDP Status:

RSEN Status:
N/A
TMDS Status:

HDCP Status:

On resolution/Frec I see this:

I tested different resolutions but none seems to work.
The TV just have a black screen on it, not even a "No signal" alert.
I haven't had a chance to test it on other TV since the problem appeared yesterday. A few weeks ago it was working on a friend's TV (also a Sony).
Any ideas?
By the way I already fixed this, it was because a bad cable

[Q] Is my m8's IR blaster spoilt?

Have just gotten my M8
tried using the stock TV app first, didnt work... and it also doesn't "learn" from the other remote.
downloaded IR Universal Remote (which worked perfect on my S4 Active) and HTC Universal remote from the play store...
i do see the red beam flash ONCE only, but still doesnt turn on any device (tried a few diff TVs)
does anyone have an app or way to test this before i send it back for repairs?
None of the softwares remote profiles worked for me, I had to teach the app with the remote manually one button at the time to get it to work.
Worked fine for me, first try. Sony TV and Sony surround with an AT&T U-verse cable box. I only had to use the remote for it to learn from for 1, which worked first try. (All via their TV app on the phone)
I'm sure you're aware, but keep in mind the IR is in the power button itself. Good luck
Google smart ir remote. Best remote out there.

[Q] Sixaxis with Tab S

Hi everyone,
I've searched all over but can't find the answer. I've used the sixaxis app on many devices before. It doesn't seem to work on the tab s, and I believe it is because newer Samsung devices are missing a certain Bluetooth protocol.
My goal is to connect two PS3 controllers to the Tab S to play emulated games (nes, snes n64,etc.)
Does anyone have any information on how to get it working? Thanks!

I tried all the tricks I know, to no avail, it's really hard to make it work, unless you're willing to do it 'oldschool' style, wired via OTG.
we managed to do this in samsung tab 3 before, 2 PS3 controllers for 2 player fighting games, dunno, seems like we have bluetooth compatibility issues as the PS3 bluetooth is already outdated.
let's here other chime in
what ? sixaxis controller works perfectly on my tab s 10.5 :v no issue . even with wire
Works on my 8.4 too.. have you tried the compatibility checker first ? It only worked after I used it once

Like I said, it wasn't working the first time, so I downloaded the compatibility checker since I remember there used to be issues with touchwizz, and it said it was compatible. I'm using the official ps3 controller. Are you root ?
Forgot to say, I connected the controller on my computer to change the master address and then connected it through Bluetooth

Im using 2 official controllers here, one that came with the ps3 that I used on my tab 7.7 with no issues (bluetooth) . And another aftermarker pink controller that I also used with no issues with tab 7.7. Only thing devious and I have in common might be our custom rom which he compiled
I tried connecting it through PC and change the mac address via sixaxis changer. Installed the compatibility checker and eas advised that it's compatible. Bought the sixaxis app. And.. boom. Stuck at 'listening to controllers'. I'll give it a shot once again

I'm having the same issue in my rooted Tab s 10.5. I changed the master to my tablet, then the tablet never sees the controller. Any luck?
Uhhh. Dunno what I did but.. it worked.
Heres what I remembered.
Uninstalled sixaxis.
Downloaded compatibility checker and run
-hooked up my controller via otg and manually typed my bluetooth MAC
Installed Sixaxis
-tried pairing via OTG. Disconnect cable and tried pairing via BT: unsuccessful
*frustrated*
Killed app compatibility checker
Killed app sixaxis
Reopened sixaxis
Clicked change IME - list of keyboard appeared. Tapped sixaxis
Clicked start. It connected.
Mine is :
1. Have a DS3 controller
2. Have a cable and OTG
3. Connect DS3 via OTG
4. Open sixaxis controller app ( v0.7.4)
5. Tap PAIR
6. Disconnect the controller
7. Change IME
8. Tap Start and connect with DS3
9. Done

Actually I remember doing that too (changing the IME BEFORE looking for devices), maybe that's why it worked for me. I'm on the last stock French rom, can't tell you more I'm at work without the tab.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the feedback! I am trying very hard to replicate the steps, but I still can't get past the "Listening for controllers" status.
Can anyone please delete all of the six axis settings, and post detailed step by steps from scratch?
Also, I noticed my bluetooth button isn't lit up (indicating that it is on) when I start Sixaxis. And when I try to turn it on, it doesn't.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the feedback! I am trying very hard to replicate the steps, but I still can't get past the "Listening for controllers" status.
Can anyone please delete all of the six axis settings, and post detailed step by steps from scratch?
Also, I noticed my bluetooth button isn't lit up (indicating that it is on) when I start Sixaxis. And when I try to turn it on, it doesn't.
Thanks for your help!!

Wait, you guys are right.... it is totally random, but I got it working! This time, I did retype the bluetooth address manually and clicked pair (even though it looked the same). Then, it still didn't work. Then I tried it with my regular swiftkey input, and it connected! Then I switched it to six axis.
This was the reason I bought the tablet, so THANK YOU guys for the help (even though we are still kind of puzzled )
I got another simpler method that works, so far so good,
-Force close all sixaxis apps (compatibility checker and sixaxis)
-at the back of the controller, there's a reset button, insert anything small enough and reset it
-connect the controller to your device via OTG
-run sixaxis controller app
-tap pair, then tap pair (the one on pop up)[ensure the bluetooth address is correct]
-disconnect OTG
-turn the controller on
-tap Start.
and there you have it.
edit:
and it will not work again as soon as you paired your device to your Samsung Gear LOL..
what you need to do, after using your Samsung Gear, disconnect it, reboot your device and follow the instructions above, it will sync once again

I got it working perfectly yesterday, but couldn't get it today. I tried your steps over and over again, but no luck!
Any way you can post a video? I will be very thankful to the person who can get this working for me! It is frustrating that it worked yesterday flawlessly with two controllers, but only after hours of messing with it (and it isn't working today!)

I was about to edit my post for the nth time LOl. Sad to say. I does not work again. I was simply lucky that I managed to do it 3 times in a row. Now. It simply doesnt pair. Could be something messing with the bluetooth becuase once you get it to pair initially. Even if you reboot, it would still pair. But once you connect your device to another bluetooth device such as headset/gear. BT will forget the sixaxis profile and you'll have trouble syncing it again. I'm close to giving up. I'm simply using it with USB OTG just to satisfy my game-cravings. Hope the others who got it working chime in once again if they manage to pair it all the time.
