[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
I may have a way to get it running for you if you try my method below (it's super easy), just please read the whole post please...

I am curious, I know everyone seems to not be able to get the FiOS remote app running since Jellybean.

I am running ParanoidAndroid (4.1.2) and think I found a "fix" that gets it working. I am going to post what I did and would like to hear back from others who try this and let me know if it works for you.

Ok, so I installed the app just to see if it was updated, and it did it's usual freeze at the scanning window (the indicator freezes, but the pop-up on your TV does flash (may take a refresh if you get the connection failed message on the TV). Then anytime you open the app after that it just force closes unless you clear it's data or fully reinstall it.

After that I installed the Verizon My FiOS app and logged in with my user account (to at least be able to manage my DVR schedule and recordings), and got curious because they added the remote icon to the right hand side of the toolbar in that app, so I tapped it.

All of a sudden I saw the remote apps scanning routine startup and groaned but in a couple seconds it actually listed my DVRs (this is new never got to the selection before). I click my DVR and the remote fully loads and works! I was also show to click the listing in the upper right hand corner let it scan again and change to another DVR and back successfully).

Now, I can open the FiOS Remote App itself and it all of a sudden works as it should it took like 2-5 seconds to connect to the last DVR you used, and it fully works!

I am not exactly sure as to what makes the difference here because I have had both apps installed before, but since I had forgotten my user info unable to login and the remote app would ALWAYS freeze. Now that I have logged in and launched it via the My FiOS app (even after it was freezing like normal multiple times, and without clearing it's data or reinstalling it) it loads and functions as it should even if I open it directly without going through the my FiOS app first.

Again, if you have time and FiOS, please try this out and see if works fire you and please reply.

Steps

----

Install Verizon Remote App from market

Open it and follow the directions to connect to your set top box. It should freeze on scanning network for DVR, and reopening the app sheet killing it's task should result in force close or restarting the setup and scan.

Now install Verizon My FiOS app from market.

Open My FiOS and it will ask you to login, do so (even sub accounts with the TV access open enabled work).

> may make a difference I did tap the check box when I logged in for it to save my login info

select TV and DVR option from first menu and select Manage My DVR from next one. This will bring up a loading window and after a few seconds it should list your DVR.

Now tap the remote icon in the top right corner of the app window (next to where it has the name of the currently connected DVR and is a drop down to change to another DVR if you tap it)

The Remote App should now load and bring up it's scanning for DVR screen, but now it should connect and be fully functional.

You should also now be able to open the remote app directly from your app drawer and it should work as expected without going through the my FiOS app first.

I have tested controlling my DVR in both live TV and watching prerecorded shows. So far, there are no problems and everything is super smooth as far as me tapping a button and the box's reaction time.

I hope this works for everyone, it's not a deal breaker (hence using Jellybean even though this hasn't worked for me since upgrading), but is very handy for text input, or if you happen to temporarily misplace your remote :)
