[Sony Tablet S] xyancompgeek:
Hi all! Havent heard from einschnaehkee as of yet. Just wanted to tell you all that, having tested the app, you can be guarenteed that there isn't a better one than this one anywhere out there. Hold onto this thread. I expect that he'll be here soon, hopefully with a better app than before!
[Sony Tablet S] lkevinl:
Hey, you should make as much money as possible! Don't discount your hard work. I would like to be a beta tester... please PM me. And I will still pay for the final product!

Here are a couple of suggestions without even having seen the beta:

1. Change the name. Looks too much like AnalRemote. :p. Sorry, but it does!

2. Not sure if your custom remote feature does this, I hate in the Sony app that you can't mix buttons from different remotes on the same screen, i.e. volume control from receiver with channel changing from DVR together on the same screen.

3. Love the thought of integrated DLNA!

4. Are you using the code/device database from the Sony app? Does this mean that a user would have to set up their devices in the Sony app and then import into yours, or is that just to ease transition from the Sony app to yours and you'll have a setup method in your app that draws from predefined codes for setting up new devices?

Can't contribute any more until I actually check it out. I'd like to replace my aging harmony with something like this!
[Sony Tablet S] cornholio1234:
Hi Kevin, i had the chance to play around with the app therefore some remarks -

1. true

2. working definatly / working with the sony app too - you just have to learn custim ir codes from original hardware

3. really nice, but i'm not sure if thats a much too complex project ...

4. it receives the keys from the sony app when importing new devices - but without key-label and kind of unpredictable how much remotes for a type of device get pulled. I think learning the keys directly is quicker in the current state of development :)

a question about two-way remote IR learning

Hi,

after some tries i found out that i can't get the sony tablet s to learn commands of a one-way remote (my air conditioner).

is there some way to trick the sony tablet s into thinking it got the ack from the other side through the code in some way?

thanks,

Itay

[Sony Tablet S] Broens:
At first of all thank you! :)

I have the same prob as don't get it how to create / start a macro. I defined remotes and a device, added keys to a device and can modify the icon size but don't know where to start these keys as a macro.

Also I don't understand the function of the button in the upper right corner. If i click it some kind of navigation appears but any button is grey and unclickable. May be this is in context of my first question. :p

Sorry if this seems to be a dumb question but I would be glad if someone can help me.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

Finally got and successfully created macros. Search on wrong level. Now it works fine.
[Sony Tablet S] Laroh:
I just got the tablet (the original / old one), mainly for the remote feature, but i ran into a problem with one of my remotes that uses a toggle-bit (i.e. sending alternating codes when pressing the same button multiple times in a row, so the same command does not get repeated accidentally) and i could not find a way to get it to work in a satisfactory manner, let alone teach it to the sony app.

so yeah, i got pointed to this thread and everything i read sounds really promising. is there any way to get my hands on the test version?

as you can guess i already have my first suggestion (if this isn't already supported):

it is no problem to fix this with macros (having your initial command followed by some code that has no effect at that moment), but if this app is still in development it would be nice if you'd find a way to support this behavior.
[Sony Tablet S] menet:
Einschnaehkeee, even you read the French, I will write in (bad) English, like that every body can read my future remark. :cool:

Can I have the link to test your beta version of your soft AnIRemote to manage TV, DVD, ... with the Sony Tablet S ?:confused:

Best regards from France. ;)

Feedback

Hi einschnaehkeee,

here are my first impressions. I'm quite impressed as your app is finally doing what I had searched for so long. Putting several commands into one activity works fine. Nevertheless you asked for feedback / bucks and here is what I noted:

- I am also owner of a panasonic tv which is not turned on by pushing the starting button but by keeping the button pressed. The tv gets launched. This works fine with the sony app but unfortunately not with yours. I tried two things. 1) to use the button imported from the sony app and keep it pressed and 2) to record the command by keeping the original remote control button pressed. Both does not work. The app keeps sending the command but the tv doesn't start. The red light on the tv is blinking much slower when it's receiving the command is it does while receiving the command of the original remote or Sony app. So I guess the repeating frquency of your app is too slow for my tv.

- If I write in a duration of command in ms, it works fine. But if I start the macro again, it is not doing excactly the same. Example: I put in a duration of some ms for vol+. If I start the macro the tv increases vol of lets say 3 points. If I start the macro again, it increases by for example 5. This is nothing dramatic or important, just noted it.

- I teached the app some commands of my Sony audio receiver which worked perfectly. I tried to do so with my sky satelite receiver (german pay tv) and had much probs. I needed roughly 20 - 30 tries per command and two times it seemed like it had worked (I received the message which is saying command learned), but it did not work. It would be interesting if other people having the same probs with sky receivers.

- I have a suggestion: what do you think of a command (last command of a macro) which can change the function of other buttons. Let. me please explain what I mean: it would be great if I can put the buttons vol+ and vol- onto the remote screen and the function is flexible. If I push the button for "tv only" they are sending commands to the tv as i use the tv's sound, e.g. for watching news. If I start the "movie macro" which is muting the tv and activating my audio receiver it could have also a command which is telling the app that the volume buttons should now work with the audio receiver and not with tv. So the vol buttons should have a default command (tv volume) and alternative command (audio receiver) but not used sequently but alternatively.

I will keep on trying and testing and update if I have more impressions.
[Sony Tablet S] kulen:
this is my opinion about this. we are half way there already.

You have different DEVICES and REMOTES. under REMOTES you can create buttons and it's functions for each activity.

I think that is an idea or having that options.

But, to have exactly what you want, selecting REMOTE should act as an macro. i.e. if you select Remote "movie" it should start tv, set it to needed input, turn on audio receiver ... and set remote button layout and functionality for that activity as it does now..

a little O.T.

There has not been anything new here for a long time. I would like this project to keep going on. It is a great app, a great functionality Sony "forgot" to give us and it is so close to "finish line". It would be a pity if it is not finished.

and thanks for all that is done until now.

and please don't understand this as some kind of pressure or asking for ETA. it is just giving support to this great project.
[Sony Tablet S] einschnaehkeee:
Hey guys,

I know I haven't given a ping for a longer time now, but don't worry I'm working on it and I hope all of you will be pleased with the next update.

It will include a small Java application with which you can import your tablet data and create makros, keys, etc. in a more convenient way. Then export it to your tablet and you're ready to go. :) It's pretty much done now, just some small fixes need to be done.

I'll post an update of the new features and fixes soon (perhaps inside a new thread), so stay tuned.

And I will also answer every question pilled up until now and post an overdue tutorial video. :D

I'll keep in touch with you. ;)

yeha

you could try to add a donate button ;) I'd donate for sure for a well working analremote :D
[Sony Tablet S] einschnaehkeee:
lol nah I don't think it's worth donating, at least not yet. ;)

I really haven't thought about the confusion the name "AnIRemote" would bring up, at least not something as far-fetched as "anal" lol.

A name change wouldn't be bad, I guess. :P

Guys, what do you think about "SonIRemote"? There's "Sony" in it to indicate that the app is for a Sony device, as well as "IR", as well as "Remote". :cool:
[Sony Tablet S] kulen:
these are all great news.

I think you should open a new thread for your app.

sonIRemote is a nice play of words but I think you should rather put something of yours instead of sony. just in case you decide to make it work with other tablets :) it's good enough for that.
[Sony Tablet S] cornholio1234:
what about just s-remote? for tablet s and sony (and maybe Some other devices in the future...) when is your planned release date for the next milestone? :D you got me pretty horny about it
[Sony Tablet S] Laroh:
I cant wait for the next release. i'd be completely happy with the functionality it has right now (adding the obviously missing features like deleting ;) ).

the one thing i found kind of annoying was that it was pretty easy to accidentally press one button when setting up a remote. but that had also to do with the limited controls you had in this version i think.

as for the name, well... IRemote is beyond question i guess!? :silly:

how about: Premote - the premium remote app....
[Sony Tablet S] cornholio1234:
i think that sounds like pre-mote :) what about FCKUSIR - fully customizable keybased univeral sony infrared remote
[Sony Tablet S] AirSnoopy:
Hi fellow Sony tablet users :silly:

im quite happy with my tablet S, but the remote control app is pissing me off!

I really miss a lot of features i had with my universal remote control (Philips STR9320), like macro functionality, creating a list of favorite TV stations with their station logo as button, changing button size and position,...

It is good to see that somebody started to make a better app !

einschnaehkeee : What is the actual status of your remote control app? Is a developer/beta version available to participate in the testing?

I'd be very interested to work with your app, because the original one from sony is really a pain in the butt.

Cheers

Air

Would love to be part of the testing team!

Hello Einschnaehkeee!

Just read the whole thread, and I think what you are doing is great! I got here looking for a solution to the macro issue with Sony's app, or looking if it was possible to interact with the IR module of the Tablet S (I do Java for a living, but never tried to code for Android before).

Thankfully I found your thread! Can I please be part of the testing team? I would love to take your baby for a ride! And I really think you should charge for it when it's done, even something symbolical so people can tangibly thank you for your hard work.

Greetings from Aguascalientes, MX!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanay2000:
Many sense ROMS require you to have "Wiped ext2, 3 or 4 partition (for APP2SD)". So my question is, how do you go about wiping your SD Card's partition?

Also, some roms say "Dalvik-Cache moved on the first boot on the SD-Ext". How do I do this? And do I do it straight after I flash my new rom or after I reboot it?

Many Thanks In Advance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
1) Before flashing any new rom it's advisable to do the three wipes. If using cwm then reboot into recovery, "wipe data/factory reset", then "wipe cache partition", then "advanced - wipe dalvik cache". As long as you've partitioned your sd card with an ext 2/3/4 partition you should then be good to flash the rom of your choice (I'd recommend an ext4 1gb partition).

2) When it says "Dalvik Cache moved on the first boot to the SD ext" it means it's doing it automatically the first time you reboot after flashing the rom. There's no need to actually do anything yourself.

Hope it helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanay2000:
Oh thanks, I do that anyway :)

LG are under no legal obligation to update the optimus 2x to ICS.

Face it, the O2x is outdated. LG don't make any money updating outdated phones; they make money by releasing new ones. Are you seriously surprised that they are not pushing out updates?

They have previously said that there will be no ICS update, and then they released a statement saying they are actually working on one. I don't have a clue whether this is true or not, but the only thing you can do is wait and see.

Be patient.

You can sit and bad-mouth LG all you want, but is any other mobile phone company any better?

Please elaborate

I've had my Atrix 2 for a week now, got mine from Best Buy for $49.99 w/2yr contract. Also picked up an Atrix 4g for my son for $29.99 last night. Here are my thoughts

I have played with all the Android phones AT&T carries other than the SGSII which they didn't have in my local store and the Atrix 2 is superior to any of them. The phone is very fast and snappy and has no lag at all, even when running multiple apps simultaneously. The screen being as large as it is, 4.3", doesn't make the phone itself overly large or feeling as if you're holding a brick. The device is comfortable to hold, feels well made and looks very classy with the beveled Gorilla glass screen and black chrome looking trim around the topside outer edge of the phone.

The hardware stacks up well against other high end Android phones with it's 1GHz dual core TI OMAP 4430 CPU and PowerVR SGX 540 GPU, 1GB RAM, 8mp rear camera that records in 1080p, 1.3mp front camera, 4.3" qHD display sporting 540 X 960 resolution. I'm coming from a decent Android device, the SE X10 which I rooted, debranded and was running Wolfbreaks Xperia GB rom v6.0....there still isn't a root available for my phone yet and there is very little that my X10 could do that my A2 can't. I've already gotten rid of the bloatware, changed the launcher, changed the lockscreen, installed custom icons for things like dialer, camera, browser, etc., and can take screenshots too. Hard to imagine this phone can get any better than what it already is......until we get ICS at least:D

[HTC Inspire 4G] Lion Man:

[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
No don't do that. Custom roms install things that will be deleted if you factory reset. Then it will bootloop or be missing apps do a master clear and then reflash the rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] Duffmantp:
what is the master clear? how do you do that? and you say flash the ROM, do you mean the stock ROM from HTC?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
That depends on which rom she wants. If its her first android rom and you want to shoot for a stock feel then yes do the stock HTC rom. If she is comfortable with a custom rom then do a full wipe and then reinstall VU. Custom roms install things to the data partition which gets wiped when you do a factory reset causing apps to force close or not be there and depending on the custom tweaks it can also cause a bootloop at times.
