Android 5 users, I'm working on a possible problem with changes made in Android 5.
(November 28, 2014)
Added codes for Dynex and Haier
(November 7, 2014)
Reports that LG G3 is working (Stock firmware only)
Android 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 should be fixed
Including Mute commands, Channel up/down commands, Volume up/down commands
Currently using over 1200 codes.
Including Continuous Mode
Including Stealth Mode
Notification area buttons (Option)
Quick command selection by pressing the Icon in the top left
TVBG codes only have Power commands, when selected they will only send the Power commands regardless of which command type you have selected.
---Description---
Turn TV's off or on from your IR equipped smartphone.
Send IR Power commands to TV's (Most TV's use the same command for On and Off)
This small application was inspired by the hardware device "TV-B-Gone" by (Mitch Altman/Cornfield Electronics) and Limor Fried/Ladyada/Adafruit listed here:
http://www.tv-b-gone.com and http://learn.adafruit.com/tv-b-gone-kit
TV B Gone is a hardware project that sends IR 'Power' commands to turn off televisions.
--- Required! ---
You MUST have the built in IR device for this software to work. (IR Blaster)
Samsung devices with Android 4.2 and higher AND the IR blaster like the S5, S4, S4 Mini, Galaxy Tab 2, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy MEGA, will work like it has.
This will also work with the HTC One m7 and m8
Also working the the LG G3 (Stock Firmware only)
This will NOT work with the S3, or the Note 2.
Also the clone (or 'fake') Note3 does not work, the IR module is different.
Also, I can not guarantee compatibility with aftermarket ROMS on your device, problems with aftermarket ROMS should be addressed by your ROM creator.
---Next Goal(s)----
Add codes for Dynex, and Haier.
---Device Information---
Currently tested on Samsung Galaxy Tab2 tablets, and Samsung S4, and S5 phones, and Note 3 but should work with Samsung devices with android 4.0 and higher that have the built in IR transmitter.
Currently tested with HTC One (m7 & m8)
Currently tested with LG G3 (Stock Firmware)
---Compatibility---
Some users report this app is not compatible if you are using CyanogenMod depending on phone, and version.
I've been told this did NOT work with the 'Fake Samsung Galaxy Note 3' device.
Currently it is not working with LG G2, MOTOROLA, and SONY devices.
This is not working with the LG G2 even with Official Firmware at Android 4.4
This is still not working with Sony or Motorola devices, I don't know if or when I can correct this.
---Support---
