OP, there are plenty of threads around which offer possible solutions for a bricked device. Usually the only solutions are to send it out to Samsung or find a company which offers services such as Jtag. Please use the search function before posting. Thanks.

HI all I am looking for the software that will make my xdaIIs a tv remote

Cheers

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] S1MB4D:
a small problem

okay i have tired using xdas as a tv remote and they dont work very well, what i mean is that it does work within about 4 inches but no more it is because the ir prot on the xdas arent of industry standard so there is no real point to them at the moment.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nomadman:
I got out to about 1 meter. Pretty much useless IMO. Unless you're at the mall and want to do a mind job on the people watching the demo show on a plasma screen.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
i had a remote on a a nokia 3650 and it had quite a distance on the ir beam. i used to mess with my fellow collegues at work in the canteen. turningit off, mute, and changing the channels while the ladies watch there girlie programs. oh so much fun, not with blueangel tho, ir is too weak.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] robboy:
year i was gutted when it didn't work that well. would had been nice as you can make custom buttons etc for everything which has an ir remote
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Yeh, I found an app that let you "teach" you pocket PC special functions by pointing the TV remote at it... never worked tho :P

My Sony Ericsson P800 worked from like 30 feet at least! I wish WM was as polished as Symbian UIQ. It's full of great ideas but they are always flawed and so unstabe *sigh*

I especially like how the IR port is now on the side so I can't use my IR keyboard that I had for the XDA 2 as the IR pointer thing won't wor at that angle:( *sigh* Who's bloody idea was that?!?!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
lol, whats the point putting ir port on anyway, its not compatable with all fones i find, and its a waste of time, they should have left it out let alone put it on the side........

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] UNOPARATOR:
You can buy and use Griffin Total Remote (with the dongle) to turn your HTC BA into a remote control.

I'm using it myself. I wasn't sure if it would work or not, so i gave it a shot.

It works great with a "4C 2.5mm to 2.5mm adapter" (or with a standart 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter but inserted half-way to the 2.5mm headset output) ;)

The range is quite good but it needs a direct line-of-sight, needs a little "getting used to" :P

And through HTC BA's IR port you can teach any remote's functions to it...

BA as a TV Remote

Hi! I realize this is an old thread, but...

I've been looking for any tweak to increase the ir range of my Blue Angel -- enuf to use it as a remote for my TV... As many others have mentioned, this ir is significantly underpowered to use as a remote control. At best I needed to be 5ft or closer for the ir to work correctly, but my couch is about 8ft from the TV. Kinda defeats the purpose if I have to stand up and walk 3ft every time I want to change the channel! :?

After reading several posts, it's pretty clear this just isn't possible. So, I tried the next best thing. If I can't increase the range of the the BA, why not get an ir extender? So, I picked up a "LeapFrog" and set it up close to where I watch TV (which happens to be set-up on the left side of me).

LeapFrog:

Works great!

Try out Arego and share your feedback!

Now available on Google Play: Search for AregoLive OR com.alterego.aregolive

Twitter: [MENTION=794078]sliding[/MENTION]bits

You'll find the APK in the attachments if you wish to donwload from right here.

I started Arego a few months back with a simple objective, I wanted relevant news to find its way to me. There are tons of news sources and unfathomable amount of news and articles being generated every day, I had been using RSS feeds before and gradually gave up on the reader as too many feeds filled up my inbox.

There are many reader apps but Arego is the only one with brains. Arego gradually builds up a profile of your reading habits, what times you prefer to read which sources and so on. The more you use Arego the more relevant news will find its way to you.

Arego works in 2 modes, news app mode and wallpaper mode.

News App Mode:

As a news app you can launch Arego and browse through a list of articles that are relevant for the moment.

Wallpaper Mode:

As a live wallpaper, Arego will find the most relevant news of the moment and make a live wallpaper with news and images, news changs gradually every few minutes. The wallpaper changes colors with time so that its never too bright or distracting. AregoLive Wallpaper is designed for simplicity and to not distract you from actual phone usage.

Other features:

- Schedule feeds for specific day and times of the week.

- Share articles on twitter, facebook

- Rank and rate article content

- Add custom RSS feeds

- Curated list of Feeds and article sources
[Android Apps and Games] idcj:
Added support for 7 inch tablet devices. Do try it out if you have a tablet handy.
[Android Apps and Games] idcj:
Added a beautiful font for reading long form content. You can now read most web articles in an elegant layout without distracting advertisements and fancy formatting.The feed list has been updated to display category tags and a few minor fixes.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groot:
you hard bricked it, flashing a wrong kernel can lead to that case, you need to send it to the nearby service center, afaik
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androthan:
To abhirulz

That's not good...

But before you're sending it to a service center, try this:

1. Download the Soný Ericsson Update Service (often called SEUS) from here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/

2. Boot X8 into fastboot mode (holding back button, if you can't do that, it's really bricked :/)

3. Follow the SEUS instructions

GOOD LUCK, MB

Yeah, there are dependencies on other ROM specific packages. I don't think that you can build this without building the whole ROM.
