I'm looking for a good app that would give me the same features that a Harmony universal remote gives me. I have a harmony remote and now that my phone has an IR Blaster, i guess i'd be ready to sell it if a good app comes by. The harmony remote works by grouping devices by activity. As an example, if i press watch TV, it would turn on my TV, set-top and amplifier and set all of those devices to the right input, same thing if i wanted to press Play Game, it would then turn off set-top and change TV input to HDMI 2.
I tried looking in the playstore but was not able to find anything that had over 2 stars.
Any suggestions?

I don't think the IR blaster's API is open to devs. I tried accessing it in a test app I made and wasn't able to. It's not handled by the system's SensorManager. I hope Samsung releases an API like HTC did for the One's IR blaster.
This IR sensor is going to be both a blessing and a curse. It reminds me of the days of my OG EVO which was one of the first android phones to have a front-facing camera. It wasn't until the next generation of devices that APIs for front-facing cameras became standardized and that meant wonky support for it early on.

The GS4 is actually the 4th or 5th device to be announced with an IR blaster. the galaxy tab has it, the note 8.0, the ONE has it and a huawai phone too. Back in your days, nobody gave a crap about the LG evo, that phone was not popular enough to motivate any devs. So it would be only logical now that 2 flagships from the 2 biggest android vendor have it that the first dev to do one might make tons of money. A good logitech harmony remote could cost 100 to 200$, i would pay 30$ for an app that does it all.
I'm pretty sure the Peel app that come's with the Note 10.1 does everything you mentioned. You can set up all your devices with the input they are on and then select what activity you want to do and it switches the inputs and powers on the devices (see screenshot). Either I just haven't figured out how yet or that capability did not get carried over to the WatchOn app.

I understand now with HTC Flyer HC is soon coming out this week however, how good is the flyer for drawing?.
Does anyone have any experience with a Cintiq/Intuos4 compare the experience?, is it just marginally better drawing than any other tablet at the moment besides the note but with pressure sensitivity?.
I like to use it for a daily drawing, however, drawing like on the ipad2 currently and TF sucks big time.
If anyone can help I appreciate their input.

Nice dude! Can we start a new thread dedicated to doodles on HTC Flyer? It deserves one!!
wtf? i was coming in here to lol @ the thought of being able to draw on the device seeing as i can't even write straight letters on it, but i think i'll just slink away....
Thanks, it looks pretty much what can be already done on an ipad2/TF however, I wanted to know if the experience was better or mainly the same please?.
My only issue is how the screen reads your hand as input vs a wacom, etc which just reads the pen. Other than that, I am happy with it and its sensitivity and responsiveness.
You should really do a search on the many threads that discusses the drawing capabilities, but:
Notes on the Flyer (see pic) has palm rejection. Non-stock apps that allow palm rejection working with the Flyer are Quill, which is great... Sketchbook Pro - awesome, which is like an very early version of Photoshop Elements or GIMP (very early version, mind, don't expect too much) has palm rejection if you hover the pen within area millimeters above the screen briefly. Then there is Canvas - cool too - that uses the pen well, has palm rejection apart from accessing the menu/options...
The palm rejection apparently depends on whether the app developer makes it compatible.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
I did do a search but still I wanted to know if the experience to what is already on android/ios tablets. Is drawing a better experience when you disregard pressure sensitivity than what is currently on offer.
Hence why I ask if people who own cintiqs/intuus how it felt?

Pro has loads more brushes/pens n textures 'n' stuff... more.... errrrr... more stuff like guides, generally more stuff that's quite handy. I can't remember the mob version, but pro is definitely better... and worth the extra cost.

Also, Sketchbook Pro has settings for pressure sensitivity, and mobile doesn't. Pro works great with the pen. It's not upto the level of a wacom panel on a tablet pc, but works well for a 7 inch sketchbook.
Quill is nice. You can set it so it won't detect finger touches at all and only accept the pen.
Did this back with GB on View with the basic notes app from HTC as a quick sketch to test flow and sensitivity, I do enjoy Sketchbook Pro. I use intuus and this has a nice flow.

I didn't try it extensively, but I will tonight, if my finger allows (doing an animation for a job with intuos). It seemed to me much better than the usual tablet mainly because it's much more precise, I tried to do something small and the tablet responded more or less as expected compared to my galaxy tab 8.9 (great tablet, horrible digitizer).
I'll try to do something precise and post it so I can tell you more.
Hey all, I'm looking for an app that can edit documents. I want to be able to hand write or sign documents. I deal with contracts daily and sometimes have to meet my clients mobile. Right now I'm using an iPad, but want to make the switch to a tablet. This is the only thing holding me back from the switch. Anyone know of such an app?

Anyway, can you say a little bit more about what you are looking for? Are these Word documents you want to sign? What app are you currently using in the iOS world (so we can look it up and see what it does). If they are Word docs, are you comfortable converting them to PDF?
Also, with regards to writing, most tablets don't do very well unless they have something like a Wacom digitizer or similar tech in them. The iPad series doesn't have this. There are only a couple Android tablets that do (HTC Flyer, Thinkpad tablet) and there is a new Asus MeMo tablet that looks like it might support a stylus.
Now, if you are talking a more full blown "computer" tablet, then you might want to look at the Samsung Series 7 Slate or the Asus EP121 which would both do an excellent job for you but they come with a higher price tag (though not much higher than a 64gb iPad 2) and the battery life is a fraction of most modern day tablets.
Anyway, hope that helps.

Well I'm not sure you can hand write on a word document via PC ipad or android. But I know I can save a word doc to PDF and then edit (hand write) on the PDF. That is currently what I am doing on my iPad. That is what I would like to be able to do on an Android tablet...It works pretty well when I meet with my clients. Guess I'm just getting the bug to switch to Android tablet, but I don't know....hmm...
So I came across this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAs3ZiPQl-U&feature=youtu.be&t=21m49s
It shows the sgs3 playing a video and running shadowgun at the same time seemingly flawlessly. I've always been pro-HTC, I went from the Touch Pro to the Evo and now I plan to get the EVO LTE. But despite my fanboyism, I have realized that HTC products usually don't perform as well as their samsung rivals in real world usage despite what the numbers and processors should theoretically be doing. I figured the Evo LTE and just about any high-end phone released in the past year can run everything on the market, who cares? Then I see something like this and it blows my mind. I'm almost tempted to jump ship.. but we'll see. What are your thoughts?

It's a new feature of the sgs3. It's a cool, novel feature I suppose. Maybe if you're playing a game and wanna watch a video of someone else doing it or something. But I'm more impressed with how well it did it all at once!

Agreed. At least for mobile phones... Could have some usage on tablets like taking a timed class and watching a video to pass the time.
The 24nm Krait S4 Snapdragon is a very capable chip. It should have no problems doing what you're video is doing or even running 2 HD movies simultaneously while running background tasks all simultaneously even on a screen as demanding as the new Evo's.
Samsung has done alot on the software side of things ..to me its more of a wow factor than something that I would ever use. If your in a store and stuck between two phones ..they show a gs3 doing pip and your sold ..not for me ..a cool but useless feature as well as the s talk or whatever it is ..I just don't imagine using it ..its a good phone tho ..you don't have to iuse those features ..to me the new evo is more desirable..and I believe the s4 is 28nm

You sir are correct, apologies for the typo. The Krait s4 snapdragons are indeed 28nm.
I have no doubt the EVO 4G LTE could do this, and probably the galaxy s2 as well. What I really don't know is why you would need or want to do this other than to showoff.

You could write notes, respond to a text, make an appointment, send an email, etc, without having to pause and back out of the video you are watching.
I think its far from pointless. People seem to assign the words "pointless" "useless" and "gimmick" to any feature that doesn't fit their personal lifestyle. Keep an open mind
Samsung says this is something new and groundbreaking that just came out with. BS!!! There is already an app in the Play Store that can do this on the phone in your hand right now. Check out app developers MBFG, I believe they may even be a XDA member. They have an app called OverSkreen that allows you to have a webpage on top of any other screen on your device. I use OverSkreen on my tablet and love it! They have another app that plays videos on top of any other screen just like the Galaxy S3, it's called Stick It! (and yes the "!" is part of the app's name, lol). Check it out. Funny Samsung lies saying how they created the idea an that the GS3 is the only phone that can do this, when in fact any Android phone with the app Stick It!! can do it!!!

The PIP function on the SG3 is not new. There is an app in the market called stick it, for $1.49 that does the same thing. I bought it a couple weeks ago, and it works very well, even though honestly, there isnt really any practical use for it. Many of the software tweaks that samsung is bui8ldin ginto the SG3 are impressive, but not original. You can duplicate just about every functionality they bragged about at the announcement with apps found in the market, or on custom roms readily available for most phones. Ultimately, because the US version will not have the quad core processor, and because i have always found samsung phones to feel cheap in my hand, im going with HTC, whose build quality is usually very good. Oh yeah, that and the pen tile screen on the SG3.... thats a deal breaker for me too

Theoretically, probably. In reality, probably not, if the EVO LTE has the multitasking issue that the ONE X has, which it probably will as HTC customized the multitasking to be so aggressive/ineffective. Really bummed about this. I hope all this is not the case. Show me wrong, HTC.

I feel the RAM needs to be amped up more. Other than that, I would buy it. Heck you can connect a Wii remote or PS3 controller to the thing not just a phone with virtual gamepad. Great for media stuff as well like Youtube.
I feel the Google TV is being neglected, it is still only on android 3.2 and no ROMs to show for it let alone apps! Is anyone aware of any ROMs etc for the Google TV?
Thread moved to Q&A.

if youre looking for a full android experience on your tv i would suggest getting into the mk802's and other allwinner A10 devices. i have a couple different mk802 versions and these are way more fun and versatile than any current google tv device. lots of hacks and mods to enjoy. its nice to be able to download torrents right to them on your tv. and to be able to control it using my android phone or tablet.
what about picture in picture?

i agree that google-tv devices are a bit restrictive at the moment but the hdmi pass-through (potential recording ability) and picture in picture really appeals to me.i want android on my tv but i want to be able to watch tv at the same time. thats where google-tv is so far ahead of any "android-tv" devices.
Just purchased the LG g2 55in....the picture is really poor for a led tv...sadly I just packaged it back up and I'm on my way to the store with it

Can you get the Amazon Instant Video app for us? There is no native Android app besides the one pulled from the Kindle Fire which doesn't work on ICS or JB. Amazon just released an app but its for new LG Google TVs only. Myself and others really want a copy of the apk to see if it will run on other Android devices.
Its here on Google Play and supposedly should be compatible with your TV:

EDIT: Didn't read the rest of your post and saw you were returning it. If thats the case then disregard my request.
We need an amazon app rather than a short cut on the Sony Google TV.
I canceled my prime membership because of this.
The YouTube app is very nice since the new update.
I use my nexus 7 top send videos to my TV every day.
I want to see a major software update soon though, kinda disappointed with it being at 3.2 for over a year.

It would be nice to have the regular Google apps, just built for the TV screen resolution 1080P... Calendar, G+, gmail etc.

Along with YouTube.
I got G+ on my TV now.
