[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Bradberg80:
I cannot speak to how much truth there is in this (if any), but if someone did make a claim against them,

If a false or baseless claim was made against them, why would they be pulled of AGAIN (and so soon)? I imagine there are serious consequences for people who would make false accusations of this nature. Is it possible that attempts to negotiate a settlement out of court allowed Google's ten day deadline to pass? If this were the case and Smart IR was in the wrong, the pressure to settle would be gone unless they were pulled off again. Settling out of court is almost always preferable to a legal battle (where the lawyers are the big winners), so I can understand why one with a valid claim might still be reluctant to file suit.

If someone is indeed making false claims of this nature against Smart IR, and doing so agressively enough to get them kicked off Google Play more than once, they are certainly opening themselves up to a counter suit.

Of course, this is all just speculation. Maybe the first time they were pulled off was for an infringement claim and the second was just an error. May both times were errors. Maybe it has to do with something else entirely. I don't expect the details to ever be public knowledge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I've tried ZappIR and it can't hold a candle to Smart IR Remote.

Some issues in ZappIR:

1) It force closes all the time when doing various simple tasks. I'm using an HTC One with a Google Edition ROM. So it's not the ROM or Sense causing issues. Smart IR Remote is stable.

2) It does not have as many codes as Smart IR Remote. ZappIR support does respond to request to add codes though. That much is telling, because Smart IR Remote does not add codes on request from what I've requested. So perhaps Smart IR Remote is using a 3rd party's database. This does also prove ZappIR does own their codes database. But on the go when I need to add a remote, Smart IR usually has the code I need right then and there.

3) Adding new remotes is hard to do if you don't know the device model. Smart IR Remote makes it easy to test every code for a brand. Not so easy with ZappIR.

I got ZappIR as backup in case Smart IR goes under. But right now ZappIR is not ready for prime time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Bradberg80:
If they add codes on request, do you think they'd add features or improve UI on request?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Ask and let us know :) .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sulpher:
Haha wow.. well at least we got a tiny update :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Bradberg80:
Responding to feature requests...

I asked ZappIR if it would be possible to swipe between different codesets (same brand/device type) when on their test function page, and they added the feature the next day.

I asked them if it would be possible to apply the changes to a custom button to all remote screens at once, and they added the feature the next day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] whythesadface:
too bad

I've been using TouchSquid and it's pretty good, but it sucks that they made ZappIR now and selling it for $5, which is basically the same (same database, same service and support, etc...). What should I think now, that I paid $50 for an app that is actually worth $5 ?

It's also a bit weird that every better app out there disappeared (Smart Remote by color tigers, Galaxy S4 Universal Remote by moletag, etc..), and only touchsquid's apps remain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Smart IR Remote will be back, likely a week or 2 from now. They have a link for a free trial that works till they get on Google Play again. Anyone who needs it can PM me and I'll send the link.

When you paid $50 it was worth $50. That was what the market would bear at that time. Competition, works for the consumer and lowers prices.

TouchSquid in my opinion is seeking to maintain a monopoly on the Play Store. But it won't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] whythesadface:
That would be true, but I paid $50 for an app and support for it, while all their resources are going on apps on their other accounts.. Instead of adding features to my 50 bucks app, they're adding them to their $5 app.. does that seem fair to you ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Darnell_Chat_TN:
You just learned how this works. You pay for what is available at that given moment. That is all the guarantee there is. You were under a mistaken assumption that included upgrades and new features for some period or never ending.

This is why I refused to ever pay the $50 and waited for the market competition to bring about change.

I will say, we know many other Devs handle things differently. I fully understand what you were expecting. In a case like this, I know Devs that would give the $5 app free to people who paid $50 earlier. That would have been nice. But if I'm right in my opinion that TouchSquid is out to taint all competition. It's no shock they'd make a $5 and turn their back on everyone that paid them $50 for their earlier app. It proves the overhead for them to maintain things and still see a profit, must be a pretty low amount per sale.

I just always felt $50 was just too much, regardless the justification TouchSquid gave for their pricing. It's true other remotes costs well over $100. But in such cases you're also paying for separate hardware. We already have the hardware and TouchSquid charging $50 for an app was not a price I was willing to pay.

I have paid for plenty of apps and even devices where the Dev abandoned customers. Another reason $50 was not something I was willing to pay.

I've provided the Smart IR Remote link to several people. Can some of you please volunteer for others to get the link from you, now that you have it :) ? This will save me some time of having to field "every" request :cool: .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kubicek123:
What is Dynamic option?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I have shared the Smart IR Remote trial link 10 times now.

I will not respond to any more requests for the link, since nobody else has volunteered and I know 10 others have it. It is now either time for someone else to share or nobody else gets it. I cannot continue to be the lone source without end.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] likearaptor:
If that someone would send me one I would appreciate it :) thanks. All of these updates have been great. I really like the UI from this app compared to the others (including TouchSquid). I actually paid for the $25 version and have used it a bit but even after their major UI upgrade I like Smart IR Remote's UI better and would be willing to pay for it

The app don't work with Panasonic TX 46GT30. With Native application in HTC ONE is OK.

IR Universal Remote

I hope Colortiger get this resolved peacefully. At the end of the day we are all on the same team. If you are looking for a free alternative check out IR Universal Remote by WaveSpark in google play.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] likearaptor:
I emailed Color Tiger and they sent me a trial for the meantime. I assume others can do it as well who are interested, The latest version they sent me was 1.3.3. They said it will be a while for this to get resolved since google is taking 2 weeks to respond to their questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I've found cases where all of them don't have a code for something. Overall, Smart IR Remote and Zapp have way more codes than the Stock HTC One IR Blaster app. I think Smart IR Remote "might" have more than Zapp. But Zapp will add any missing codes fastest when asked.

Smart IR Remote is just so much easier than Zapp to add remotes for. Because it has an easy means to cycle through all the codes for a brand, like the stock HTC One app has. But Smart IR Remote works on way more than TVs, that's where it really blows the stock HTC One app out the water. I've got all my TVs and audio units...on my phone :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CZ Eddie:
EDIT: I got one.

Does anyone have the link that they could share with me?

Thanks in advance. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] tomurbanowicz:
IR Universal has the same problem with Panasonic TX 46GT30 like Smart IR and WatchON. Strange, but HTC ONE with its native app is OK...

How has this app been working out for everyone? I'm wondering if it's worth the money, I currently hace a Logitech Harmony remote, and I'd like to replace it with this app.

Does this app let you program multiple devices into one action, for instance, turn on TV, turn on receiver, turn on A/V receiver, basically pressing one button that will power on all those devices and so on? I really like the Harmony remote, and I'm wondering if this app is similar?

Oh, and by the looks of it, seems like they updated it to a newer version as well yesterday.

Thanks,

TouchSquid vs ZappIR

It is not true that ZappIR ($6.99) and TouchSquid are the same. The only thing they share is the database of devices which is updated daily.

TouchSquid was recently completely rewritten and offers the following features not available in ZappIR or most major competitors:

Activities, after adding all your devices you create activities such as Watch TV, Play DVD and so on. The app switches power and inputs for all devices with a single button

.

Favorites. You can create up to 940 favorites for each activity, and over 1000 Channel icons are included, plus you can add your own.

.

All graphics are user replaceable, including backgrounds. Users can create their own themes or download free ones from Google Play.

.

Activity Sync. If you have two or more Touchsquid apps controlling the same system, activities can be synced so changing activities on one device will update the others without sending extra commands.

.

Support for one or more external blaster with drivers for Global Cache, Keene and IRTRans. This allows the app to use Androids with no built in IR.

.

IP Control of many devices, including Denon, Yamaha and Pioneer receivers, Roku and many other devices.

Button and favorite macros. Macros can be saved and reused..

There are many other features exclusive to Touchsquid. ZappIR is easier and faster to set up precisiely because it lacks about 60% of TouchSquid's functionality, although it is comparable to other IR based apps on Google.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mgenova:
If you see the cyanogenmod logo you've already passed up the recovery. Do a battery pull. Then vol up+ home+ power. Let go of power when you see the Samsung logo and keep holding the other two
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
You should always post in the correct section, saves MODs time as they have to fix your mistake, AND more people will see it and want to help.

As for your question. Your phone boots, and gets stuck in in a bootloop. You pulled the battery booting into recovery, and then you say "but it just gets stuck in the same place. HELP!"

1) does this mean you are stuck some place in recovery?

2) or you simple are stuck with a ROM that won't boot?

I am thinking 2, so I will answer upon that.

I suggest getting a TW based ROM, preferably the latest stock OTA found here, I would also make sure I am on the most up-to-date firmware found here.

Now, you need to make sure you wipe correctly in recovery.

Making sure to wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache.

If the ROM boots then you are good to go.

If it does not boot I suggest flashing back to odin following these directions.

Also, a brick is when your phone will not boot, it will not turn on: it is a brick.

Very different than what you're experiencing. :)

What process are you doing to get into Odin?

Sometimes it takes some getting used to, to get the phone into recovery or download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prince21:
Try rebooting instead of "febooting"

Sorry couldn't help it. Oh yeah wrong section.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Watoy:
I also think your not getting into recovery the right way. If you are and it won't truly work you can just Odin back to stock by going to download mode. Your only soft bricked so its not that hard to fix it. I'm on my phone right now other wise I'd like you to a topic on how to Odin back

Does your pc make a sound when you connect your phone in flash mode; does it recognise it?

I tried Testpoint: failed. Tried ZeroPercent: nothing happened.

I have an Xperia Neo V 12W36 (New security) just recently with GB but always with ICS

Bootloader status: no

I just can't get the bootloader unlocked!

Please! I'm desesperate
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Attitude.SSJ:
Boatloader unlocked: no you may need to SIM unlock it using some paid service...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Spätzle:
This new security implemented in devices after 12W11 makes the test point method almost impossible to use. Your situation is aggravated by the "bootloader unlock allowed: no", which "disables" fastboot. Some users reported that this status is related to the trim area of the phone, but no solution is yet available.

Sometimes, unlocking SIM restrictions changes the status from "no" to "yes", but most times remains unchanged.

I guess that only professional tools can do the job.
