G2 IR remote apps - G2 General

Any news on ones that have been updated and recognize this phone?
All the ones that I have on S4 and HTC One won't work on this phone.

I'd love an app that would let me program a series of blasts. It takes about 6 steps to turn on pip in my samsung tv.

I emailed the universal remote dev and he said lg isn't opening up the api for devs to make apps for it.

That's really unfortunate. IR on these phones is really a useful feature unlike gimmickry such as a fingerprint reader.

That's one thing I miss about the gs4. The remote app was much better. It combined all 3 remotes into one where I didn't have to switch tabs to control cable or tv power or volume on my A/V system. The channels controlled the box, volume av and power all 3

Lg already released SDK for remote app. I emailed the developer but he mauled that only few people interested in this app.

I also noticed that my s4 remote works better. I have to have my g2 pointed directly and at the right angle to get it to work properly. I was hoping it was an app issue and could just replace the app.

Have you made a custom remote in the app? I did and built it exactly how I wanted it. I made it learn each button and now it controls each device in my entertainment center on one remote. It's awesome! Pic attached.

I tried to make a custom remote for my TV/HTPC, and teach it from my harmony. But this was not working good. Sometimes it didn't register button press, but biggest issue it refused to send same command twice. So impossible to use volume and navigation buttons.
So I tried to setup my PJ, facing the phone agains my gain 1.1 screen nothing worked, then I found out I had to point it directly at my PJ for it to work (all my other remotes work facing the screen, and all my equipment is behind me). At that point I gave up rather disapointed.
Is this a software issue ? Is the IR too weak ? IR uses so little power, it seems stupid to save battery on a weak IR.

---

I'd be willing to say it depends on the physical aperture size. The HTC One has great range and tolerance to off axis use, for example.
Look at the opening. (power switch) The S4 is much more directional, for example.

I've done the learning thing from another remote, and it's learning it correctly... but the button doesn't do anything. like power won't work even though it learned power. weird.

Hmm, that's weird. On the custom remote that I attached earlier, I taught it functions from 3 different remotes which included a Harmony and it works perfectly. Power (from TV), volume (from av receiver), channel (from dish network dvr), guide (from dish network dvr), etc.

For some reason I never investigated the remote app further, can't wait to add a custom remote and see how it works.

I thought the same thing when I did mine. But I think I was covering the IR with my hand or something. The remote works good but the IR signaql isn't very strong. maybe a firmware update will fix it

eh..mine is for an RCA surround unit that literally no remote is able to control except for this ONE i found for my PS3 that does bluetooth. that remote works fine, but there;'s something wrong wtih it and it eats batteries in like a day, so i don't use it. i get up and control the entertainment system lol old school style...
but from that remote i had my G2 learn the basics..volume, power, etc...and it says "okay, learned, on to next button" but it just won't work when i use the G2.

In my opinion, the HTC One has the best TV/IR app. I didn't like the S4's app but in comparison to what we currently have, I guess it's not so bad.

No problem bro, it's actually a really great feature and has gone mostly unnoticed. :thumbup:

It works great for me. I had to move some of my equipment to the same height level, but after that it works flawlessly. If even got multiple rooms of my house set up to work.
I even set it to control the television at my local TGI Friday's.

I am confused, build or configured? Building is coding compiling etc...
