Hey guys!

I need to be able to send IR signals to a Genius IR receiver, in order to automate typing of text with great precision and speed.

Can this be done with an Android phone?

Thanks.

EDIT - UPDATE:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57408758&postcount=25

So before getting into this - I want to share my video that demonstrates it:

[YOUTUBE]QHh7vTQkWpw[/YOUTUBE]

I bought a second Oppo Find 7 (both were directly bought from Oppo Style) and now the second one (my mum's) has, as I had feared a brighter screen - that's also more "true" in colour.

Now let me get a few things straight with everyone:

-Both are running stock ColorOS

-Both were on 100% brightness

-Neither had power saving features

-Neither have any "adjust brightness for screen features enabled"

-Both have stock screen protectors on (with or without it, it's the same issue)

-Both were checked in terms of "colour temperature" via the engineer menu

-Both were bought brand new from Oppo Style EU

Now I just wanted to put this out there for a few reasons:

1. For people in the same situation

2. For Oppo to see this

3. For me wanting to inform people

I should state I love the performance and design etc of the Oppo - and on my mum's phone I love the brightness.

My phone however is faulty and previously to making any video or posts, Oppo Style already offered a repair/replacement. I just wanted to wait until I was sure it was the phone and not my eyes.

I guess my eyes have been trained after all those PC monitor reviews I do on YouTube. Glad I wasn't wrong, but disappointed and saddened that I was right in my initial judgement - I now have to send the phone and be without my Find 7 for X amount of days.

Pictures are attached - again all phone's in the pictures are all at 100% (incl my Samsung S3) - and it should be pretty obvious which Oppo is mine and which is my mother's

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
So why are you posting this if OppoStyle already offered you a replacement BEFORE you even posted this?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
"3. For me wanting to inform people"
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
Inform them of what? There's nothing to inform them of. A defect occurred (this thing happens) and the seller offered to replace your unit.

The only case where this might be informative is if you had a defect and they refused to replace it.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
Nope!

I guess you don't understand the difference between complaining and informing.

I'm not complaining about anything here - happy to see Oppo respond (let's see if they replace it) - I would be complaining if they:

1. Didn't respond

2. Didn't replace

3. Not care

It's clear Oppo care about it and are ready to look into it.

I'm informing people - because I've previously read people say the same thing - whereas before others would reply:

-"It's just how the screen is, due to it being IPS"

-"Change the colour gamma"

-"Change ROM"

Now this proves there are some phones out there (ie mine) that just don't have a bright display and are naturally flawed. :good:

I'm also not quite sure about the purpose of your replies - are you here to say something?

It's clear it didn't "help" you.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
Anyways, mine had the yellow tint and I had it warrantied and oppostyle told me that Oppo doesn't make the midnight version anymore so I chose the white one (yay, the one I wanted lol), and after about a month and a half I finally got my phone back (took more time due to holiday in Hong Kong and them making a mistake with the address). The new phone is excellent, the screen is better than the other, looks awesome now, it's really bright, crisp, great color accuracy, and has that nice bright IPS look to it (not sure how to explain lol).
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
hope it doesn't that THAT long!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
I know lol, it was bad for me, took sooo long. It should take 2-3 weeks for you, depending on how you ship it. I shipped it kind of slow, took like 6 business days. If you ship DHL, it should get there in 2 days.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
well I'm shipping to the UK - address was UK based on HK
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
Oh ok, that's good. The guy told me to use the INTL form. He made a mistake and gave me the UK one first but told me to verify that it says HK, I said it doesn't, so he gave me the other form (not sure why HE didn't check lol).
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
haha seems weird!

Well let's see - I've sent it today (30/10/14) - should arrive to them within a day.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
Right so a small update:

I've asked Oppo to refund the postage and if they would be providing a new screen protector on the phone and they've tactically been ignoring my email....

By that I mean they've responded to the email (I've asked them 4x now) and each time they've ignored it.

They should have received it by now.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
Their (OppoStyle's) customer service is bad. They get the job slowly done but forget about details. They don't have much training and don't know how to provide proper customer service. They take time to answer, they ignore some questions, they're not detailed at all, they don't admit they're wrong until it's too late, and they keep asking you to provide the same attachments even though you've attached something in a previous message more than once (they're not proactive and won't go searching on their own much). After complaining to them about improving their customer service, one of them actually told me that they have excellent customer service because they answer within 24 hours (which is not always true at all), so they seem to think that that's all there is to it :/.

In my jobs, I have to answer clients within 2 business hours.

Anyways, to solve your worry, your new phone will have a screen protector applied (mine and others did). They will only refund the postage once they ship your product back to you and you receive it and confirm to them that you have received it (either using the tracking they'll give you or take a picture of the package and its labels). They'll only refund up to 30 USD.

Funny, you're asking similar questions as the ones that I asked, and I'm sure others asked also. They should REALLY have an FAQ or at least tell us beforehand that we only get refunded when it's shipped back to us. *Sigh*..

Try to ask to speak to Jackie Evans, she was the nicest one! (Something tells me these are all fake names though lol, not sure though, I had about 5 people handling my case, that's terrible, they'll get confused).
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
thanks for responding to me!

Yeah makes sense - that's the thing - recently a youtube subscriber asked me over facebook if I would recommend the Oppo find 7 - I told them: Just wait until I get my phone back, then I'll let you know.

The oppo has great hardware, but the fact that it comes in at the same price as the LG G3 and can't be easily returned just begs the question.

Anyway - I just want my phone working as it should do. I hope it doesn't take them long.

And yeah - I feel it is fake names too lol.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
I really want to recommend Oppo but their software has bugs and they're unable to fix them all. The hardware is good, I like it, though the lens of the camera is a bit inferior because it's not edge-to-edge crisp like the G2's lens even though the quality is great and I prefer it over the G2. The phone is too long though and they need to stop making them that long. LG did a great job with the G2 and G3.

You'll get your phone back and if you get the same screen as I got, you'll love it.

I miss having an IR blaster though =(.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
Well said!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
Just got the replacement....same thing - same problem.

I'm now really pissed.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
Oh wow! that's not cool. Oppo uses different LCD displays and I suppose you didn't get the good one =(. Will you ask for a refund?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
No idea. I'm just beyond pissed off right now I don't know what to say.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
What did you end up doing?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
I'm going to send it back ONE more time - if they screw up again.

I'll make it clear to them that the phone will have to be fully refunded.

What pisses me off is why they aren't sending me one in the mean time - it's ridiculous.

It will make it over a month without the phone I freaking bought.

Completely disappointed in Oppo - to be quite honest, when companies play you around like that, I much rather be done with it totally and buy another branded phone.

There's no better phone in my eyes out there, but I'll settle for something that at least has a manufacturer caring.

I'm also tempted to pull my long review of the phone on it off YouTube and re-make one, with this problem in mind.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
I know how it must feel. Do you have a yellow tint though?

Oppo isn't the only one not using the same display in each of their products :/. It also happens with laptops sadly..

There are better phones out there (IMO) such as the Note 4/MX4, etc.. but this Find 7 has the best camera and excellent sound quality which is why I won't be changing it until a better camera comes around (waiting for a Lumia quality one for Android :D).
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
No it's blue actually.

As for camera...and sound quality...hmm nah.

Find 7 has worse sound quality than the S3 (that has a wolfson chip) and external speakers, are beaten by a long shot by the HTC M8 - then in terms of camera, I found the Find 7 to be average but not excellent. It shares the same problems as the OnePlusOne, in that it can't take low-light shots at all.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
Oh blue this time lol.. interesting.

Hmm. I use it with Maxxaudio and it sounds awesome compared to LG G2, S4, Note 3, S3, etc..

As for the camera, low light is pretty bad yeah but I don't shoot with normal mode in low light, I use Ultra HD, Raw, and slow shutter, and I get really good results!

I'm really surprised by the Ultra HD, I love the quality. or just shoot raw =).
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
Right so I give up on OPPO:

http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/m...ly-faulty-dim-screen.21961/page-2#post-305244

3rd phone I've received - it's been over 1 month and a half I've been without my new phone.

I'll go for the full refund option and look for another phone. Shame really, mum's phone was great in terms of display.

Over the weekend, I'll see if mum's speaker is faulty (makes this really odd sound when tilting it). If that is faulty too -then I'll just send them all back to Oppo.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ramsey:
Strange! I have no issues with my white version. Sound is great, screen is excellent, and so is everything else.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] d7nku:
I have pre ordered this phone with Amazon UK and the seller is Amazon UK so I am hoping that if there is any problem with the handset then I would not have to wait for months for it to be sorted.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
I hope you have fortune - but as an FYI - amazon or any seller on amazon will only grant you 30 days, after than it's with the manufacturer.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] d7nku:
I have bought a few electronic items (Phone, watch, TV) from Amazon and when Amazon have been the seller as well (not marketplace) they have have been good and have assured me that the 1st year of warranty is with them on any electronic goods. And on a couple of occasions I had to return items after a few months of use when a fault developed with the item
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
Interesting - but for me, when I check the T&Cs, I see it says 30days
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] TotallydubbedHD:
Phone was fully refunded and I was sent an iLike headset - last I have to deal with the Oppo Find 7...well almost - now I have to see what the problem is on my mum's Oppo Find 7....(speaker has problems - sigh)

hangouts dialer problems mic not working end call speaker not working

Hi,

I have a couple android phones and hangouts dialer works just fine on my rooted htc evo 3d. The galaxy s3 sprint phone has problems with hangouts dialer that maybe some one can help me with.

The microphone is not working again. Last time I did an update it stopped working so I uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working again. Today it will not work again and I tried reinstalling the app but it did not work.

The speakerphone and end call button will not work on the galaxy s3 sprint phone. when I select these items it takes me back to the main dialer page showing an ongoing call. I can not hang up and I have to shutdown the phone to end call. If I have bluetooth connected these end call and speakerphone buttons will work though.

Does anyone know what the problem is with the galaxy s3 on hangouts dialer? Maybe I should just stick to HTC phones for now on?:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] totbl:
Same problem here. Only fix so far is using a Touchwiz ROM. Lame. Hopefully someone fixes this. Stay vocal and talk to the devs. Ive been trying to sort this out all month. No one is of much help, honestly.

STAY VOCAL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] customromlover:
I have the same problem. No one can hear me when I call them on google hangouts with out bluetooth. If I used a wired headset they still cant hear me. They can only hear me if I use bluetooth:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SirRobinTheBrave:
on the latest CM11 and 12.1 (unsupported) I found that it activates the microphone on the TOP of the phone, rather than at the bottom. Not sure how to swap it around. Had to go back to stock :(

cant downgrade to bl 1.04 from 1.09

i have imate jasjam

rom hermes 1.35

radio 1.18

i want upgrade to radio 1.27
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
I can think of 2 ways to do this.

The first way requires that you have already made your Hermes SuperCID. Essentially, you flash the 1.01MFG bootloader then use that to flash the 1.04 Bootloader. Once complete, you'll be able to upgrade your radio. See the 1.01MFG bootloader thread for files/howto. I believe its all in the Wiki too.

If you are not SuperCID, then you must find the bootleg 1.04 bootloader flash solution to upgrade your radio.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] wpbear:
Check your PM
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
By all means, take the time to SuperCID your device using pof's solution once you're on BL1.04 sam2000 ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sam2000:
i try many time to flash the 1.04 Bootloader by flash the 1.01MFG bootloader

and evry time error

can you tell me mr Sleuth255 how can downgrade from 1.09 to 1.04 stps by steps

thanks for you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
If you are not SuperCID then you cannot succeed until you obtain the bootleg 1.04 downgrade solution. We do not host that here as it contains proprietary IMEI_check code.

However, from you first post it appears that you may be SuperCID since you are running the SA 1.35 TyTN ROM on a JasJam device. If that is the case, you can simply flash the RUU radio upgrade RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe.

edit:

to your question: the key to flashing the 1.04BL from the 1.01MFG bootloader is the version of mtty you are using. If you are trying to follow the instructions using a version of mtty that has the default "MFC" icon, then it won't work. You must use the version of mtty included in the 1.01mfg bootloader download.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sam2000:
my device SuperCID
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
Best option is to upgrade radio using RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe then.

How to downgrade from BL 1.09 to 1.04

I had the same problem and I solve it with this link http://uploadingit.com/files/8194/Downgrade_SPL.zip (read the instruction)now is only one way.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
The bootleg 1.04 bootloader solution is actively pursued by IMEI-check. It never surfaces for very long....

However, sam2000 doesn't need this since he is already SuperCID. The 1.01MFG bootloader solution can get him to 1.04BL.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] echoz:
Hi...

I've this problem where my friend's Dopod 838 Pro has its flashed crash at 14% and now its Bootloader is 1.09. Its giving the NO GSM error but I cannot seem to downgrade the bootloader because its CID is also corrupted. It doesn't even accept the generic Dopod ROM upgrade!

Anyone one help?

So we all know about the cracked edges issue, and you've probably also heard that even the "new batch" and the LTE model are still prone to cracking.

Yesterday I posted a petition on the geforce forum to bring attention to the issue and to demand a statement from NVIDIA regarding what their plan is to rectify the issue. Today I was shadowbanned, which means that nothing informed me that I was banned, but all my posts and threads are not visible to anyone else. So now the petition is down a black hole. I have NO IDEA why I was banned, but it was likely an attempt to erase the petition, as I didn't do anything inflammatory in the past couple days, and this is not a normal account suspension (those let you know you're temp banned). This is a shady shadowban where they don't want anyone to know that I'm banned. They just want to silently erase every post and thread I've ever made.

Here's where I need your help. Nvidia is obviously trying to sweep the continuing cracked edge saga under the rug. I would appreciate it if anyone who also frequents the nvidia community could make a new topic to start a new petition to demand a response about the cracked edges, and also to let people know what happened to me.

We shouldn't let them get away with this. Thanks.
[Shield Tablet General] rebski:
Yes I saw that this morning. Quite disgraceful. I see they deleted your thread on Gamergate too some days ago.

If this is the way that Nvidia conducts both its Android device business and its customer support forums then it has lost me completely as a potential customer. This action is the last straw for me, my decision is made to totally avoid Nvidia, I shall delete my GeForce forum bookmarks and not visit there anymore. I do not wish to be part of that debacle any longer.

All in all it is a shabby state of affairs.

ps I have seen you over on FreakTab, I am considering PiPO as the way for me to go next.
[Shield Tablet General] ShortwaveTech:
I hear yea' man, this isn't cool.

My device burnt me and must of been near combustion, and is now finally after two months crumbling at the corners.

When speaking to support, they were LYING TO ME and just running me through a loop.

"The issue has been resolved in the new replacements"

"Uhh, I was just on YOUR forums reading the opposite... "

Like, they didn't even have to lie to me...

I would of been civil and tried to work something out.

But instead they just want to keep sending out disfunctional and DANGEROUS items and tell me it's okay now?

No, it's not. I have a daughter about to be born and I'd rather not have a fire / choking hazard around.

I sort of wanted to like use the thing to help teach my daughter things through a touch interface, but you know.

I'm scared it'll kill her.

What a freakin' shame.

And to be shadow banning is beyond corrupt now.

Do they think we're all complete idiots who can't communicate if we're blocked somewhere?

That the issue will go away?

Give me back my money and apologizing for wasting my time, lying to us.

Criminal.

Decided to go green for GPU's this year (I sell prebuilds on the side).

WELL, that was a short ride.

PS 4k Downsampling has always been possible on any modern gpu, don't let Nvidia fool you into thinking it's a 900 series feature.
