I got the upgrade to lollipop yesterday and now my IR blaster doesn't work. I reinstalled the IR remote app I use to control my TV and cable box but still doesn't work. I hate to do a factory reset cuz I have tons of customization. Any thoughts

Are you using the stock app or another app?
I have the same problem. I was rooted and deleted the stock remote app and had been using Anymote, updated to Lollipop, and now IR controls don't work.
So mine works with stock app but not the one I downloaded. I'm not rooted,just stock.

I got my non-stock remote to work again. I don't know if it was the sequence I did it in since you already tried reinstalling your IR remote app. I installed the stock Smart Remote app and set it up, and it worked. Then I reinstalled my remote app Anymote, and it's working again.

By far the best IR remote app is Galaxy Universal Remote. Mine didn't work when I did a Lollipop upgrade. All you have to do is upgrade the App to the latest version (3.4.9 or above) and it will work again. I could see the difference using a digital camera to look at the IR blaster with Lollipop. With the old app the output was very weak. Once the upgrade was done on the remote app the output was back to normal.

That is true. Last version works fine. The problem is that it is not free.
Another option that works, and is free, is 'IR Universal Remote - IR 2.0'; it is not that godd, but works for some TV models

Works nicely for me. i like the inclusion of the sixaxis controller layout for controlling my menus as well.
Does it have a PS button to get out of netflixs?
Nope and it no longer works on android 4.2
Can anyone else confirm that the app no longer works?

Just installed it on a stock ATT Galaxy Note 2. Worked great. Though, it's function is fairly limited without a PS Home button.
Ye sorry it works fine on non aosp roms for the note 2 the new android 4.2 has different bluetooth stack than its always had apparently thats what the developer says
Aint that a B()*& I have been using this app since he relieased it. Other than the PS button missing, you'll find that when you have to use the Trianggle button to search in some apps, it does not work (Netflix and Amazon for example).
Hey guys , it work WatchOn Tv Controler on this device ? Or another app ?
No, there's no IR blaster in the device.

Yes, but it won't work because the S2 doesn't have the necessary hardware

have you heard about wifi connection to a tv?

Is there a different way to do this on n9 compared to the check box I would usually find in the display>cast screen area of settings?
I'm trying to cast screen to my LG smart TV.
Thanks for any help!

Screen cast is not working for me either. I can get it to connect to my lg smart tv. Its under advanced wifi settings tab. The tv says it connected but doesn't display the nexus 9's screen.
Silmport doesn't work either, i dont have a mhl cable to test.
I can connect through the advanced settings like you, which I guess shows it can see the tv. Seems odd then that the check box is missing in the cast screen setting.
Thanks for checking...

Maybe Google finally dropped Miracast which was pretty crappy technology.
Chromecast mirroring works fine.
With Chromecast mirroring did you not have to enable the setting? I've not seen how it works as I've been able to share screen on my smart TV on KitKat.

No need to enable anything for Chromecast mirroring. It just shows up.
Short term I have found this app that works great for casting media to my Smart TV.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.stefanpledl.localcast
It's called Localcast and has done what I need it to do.

The option is missing for me too. I was hoping to test casting to my Roku 3.
I am Samsung Galaxy J7 with Nadroid 5.1.1, can not find cast screen.

try this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.zappir.free&hl=en
There is a premium app that is also called "Smart Remote" its about 6.99 in the play store.
This app blows all of them out the water, you can save your remotes in the cloud, switch between them easily. And there hasnt been a tv set or box that i havent been able to program. One of the best apps ive purchased.
The Sky+ app? You don't even need to aim at the Sky+ box. You can schedule recordings and downloads without interrupting whatever is playing.

The same problem here....any solution?
for the Sky boxes depending on the country you need to choose a different manufacturer.
In New Zealand for example they are made by Pace and are the 5th one in the testing list (at least my sky HDi is)
Hey guys,
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to "Throw" function which is mirror casting, and once paired you don't get any sound in the output. I tried this with the Amazon fire stick.
My wife has a nexus 7 2013 with Lollypop, and we have cast of movies off to the chromecast with no problem.
Also I once tried to mirrorcast of the chromecast and it wouldn't pick it up, but the YouTube app would.

I haven't retry it, I'm on a new hotel and let you know.
Back at home I use the function directly to my panasonic TV which has Cast capabilities and worked great.
