Infrared Blaster IR 3.5mm adapter for V30?... - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Hi!
I really like the Lg V30, but was somewhat disappointing when LG announces that it didnt include the IR blaster, and I really like and use it, since my phone also solves not to looking for other remote-controls of different devices.
I dont have the LG v30, and before make a big bucks investment, I would like to ask if may be some of the lucky members around here may check if this adapter may works as a solution to provide the lost IR functionality to the wonderful LG V30.
So, I was looking for the options, and the first that came was the 3.5mm IR adapter like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-3...hash=item51fba6c37a:m:mJ-DSCA2tCFlc_SjR3IfEaQ
or similar that are like a small rivet-head over the 3.5mm hole (there are several models like a 2cm stick long outside the phone or others that are like a "ball" or small "egg" outside the port that both are very bad options since in the pocket is almost for sure will broke and may be damage the 3.5mm port).
As far I may found, it seems that a difference on some android models that the rivet-head type not works, since the audio level voltage to the headphones (that the app uses for make the IR leds of the IR adapter work), is not enough strong to drive the IR leds, and this means a really short range of IR control or not working at all.
As far, the powerful Audio output hardware that the LG v30, make me wonder if the LG v30 could be a model that may be be able to manage this adapter.
So, if some help, or testing is possible, it would be very grateful.
thanks and best regards to all.

I just got my v30 and popped a 3.5 ir button in (like you described) and no, it does not work. I am very disheartened by this as I was really counting on it.

Hi!
First, thanks for take the test and share the info. Sadly to know that by now it is not working, so, as far, I would like to ask if You may try some other details in hope, that may get a hack or fix.
At first, may you share which of the available plug models did you try, there are some diferent, but some of them are with the tip conector splitted, with 2 quarters in metal contact and 2 quarters in plastic, so, may be need to turn the plug inside the 3.5mm hole slowly to try to make the plug get in contact with the internal electric contact of the phone for the tip.
Asfar I know, the plug works by making the IR pulses, using audio signal of somewhat high volume in order that the audio signal make the electric voltage to drive the IR Leds inside the adapter, so I wonder, if may be enable Hi-Fi mode with high volume, may help to activate the IR Leds and send the pulses
Also, if posible, may you could check the IR plug activation, looking through other digital camera, so, digital cameras may show in the preview as the remotes IR pulses like with lights on screen of the camera even that is not visible for human eye.
Please excuse me for the above requests, but, if may be posible for you to test, would be great if may get the IR lug working with some trick or something.
Thanks for kind attention and reply.
Best regards.

I tested the IR blaster attachment with the v30 that I was using with an old iPhone. It recognizes the IR blaster in the zaza remote app, but it doesn't fire. Meanwhile, same app on the iPhone 6s, same IR blaster it works flawlessly. Could be because some are meant for the iPhone and same are meant for Android, but this one does not work with v30. It does work with the iPhone tho strangely.

I have a V30 (AT&T) and I built one using YouTube as a guide. It works with the zaza remote app if you you enable the HiFi quad DAC and set it to normal with the volume all the way up. You have to press the remote buttons several times to get it to register on the TV. Not as reliable as a built in blaster, but it does work.

iv'e tried the 3.5mm IR but it didn't work with my lg v30. decided to buy the USB C ROCK IR blaster:
https://www.fasttech.com/products/8409100
working like a charm! i'm using the zaza remote app, and so far every single device works flawlessly. the range is also amazing! (i can point it in the opposite direction and it still works!). also, it's small enough to fit with my Tech21 case on (just barely), and it works well with the Ringke Onyx case
i highly recommend this for anyone who wan't to be able to use the IR with the lg v30. allready buying a second one
edit: i see that Baseus has also come up with their own device. it seems to be even smaller (and will probably fit cases without much usb port clearance). worth checking out:
