IR Blaster - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know of one that works with this tablet? If not, anyone want to help make one?

If you are on stock you should have the Remote Control app. If not you can try installing it, I found a download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134896 but there is more to it than just the apk.
There is another download which you can try here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307405
Lastly, one of these should probably work! - https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ir blaster&c=apps (some require kitkat for sony/non-samsung phones)

[Q] Archos 101 G9 [ICS 4.0.6] FaceUnlock!

Hi community,
this is my first post here and I hope my english isn`t too bad
I have an Archos 101 G9 with rooted ICS 4.0.3 / 4.0.6 (firmware version)
Now I heard that there is an app called FaceUnlock for ICS, normally it`s
integrated but I think Archos missed that...
How to get FaceUnlock on my Tablet, do I have to install a package or flash my firmware?!
ThX ::Blocks::
-There is no CMW for archos so sorry, no update.zip flashing
-For additional features in firmware it's best to ask suduru_petru, he makes custom ones
Tapatalked from Xperia Arc S
it is not avalaible on all tablets
If your looking for an alternative you could try this app:
Visidon AppLock
But please be careful. I've found with most face recognition tools can be defeated just by printing a photo of your face and putting in front of the screen.
Facelock isn't a security feature but a comfort feature.
Good to know that it's not implemented in any tablet.
But on the other hand a tablet needs no protection from accidental use. It can't activate in the pocket as easy as a smartphone and most will be used only at home. But it may need protection from unauthorised access. Facelock is no appropriate way to deny unauthorised access so it's not useful for tablets.
That could be the reason why it was not implemented.

I got it working, but the camera was spazzed up (I had a defective model that flipped the image anyway) with green lines. It's as simple as copying an apk and some libs btw

How did you get it working?!
Did you ripped that apk off?! Or from the internet

[Q] Samsung Link.apk working on Cyanogen Mod 10.1

Ok so I am using Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds and have recently bought a Smart TV and want to share my data i.e (Video, Pictures, Music etc)
I am trying to install the Samsung Link software (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.pcw) and its failing to do so. I managed to download the .apk from an alternate source and tried installing it.. That failed too.. Is there no way to get this app working on my phone with Cyanogenmod?
Alternatively anyone who has a smart tv with inbuilt WIFI and Bluetooth is there any other way to connect to the tv? What are the features I will lose if I use these alternate methods of connecting? like WIFI Direct, Bluetooth or Cloud storage!
you could not install samsung stock apps on CM roms as they require framework. that's almost impossible.
-------------------------------------
please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

What does that mean? TV out? Do you mean things like screen mirroring, file sharing etc?
Thanks for your quick responses both of you..

Overall must say CyanogenMod is awesome but i simply do not understand why the HDMI connect is not supported and why it never will be. Everyone has SmartTV and everyone eventually will use that feature sooner or later. It's so frustrating. I even installed CyangenMod on my brothers phone recently and he is cursing me because certain apps do not show up in Googles app store. He is a doctor and he needs some of those apps.
For example i have latest nightly installed on my HTC One M7 and i even cannot connect via Wireless Display on my Samsung Smart TV UN55F8000.
I love cyanogen and its update policy is the best but Day by day things i cannot do which become more and more common cannot be done because CyanogenMod won't recognize apps or simply does not work with certain devices. Sooner or later it will become big issue in the future if the list which can't be done will become bigger and the things which can be done will be just like checking the facebook status.
It's just sad.

Missing out (again) on Device compatibility. Virgin TV Anywhere (UK)

I see the Ultra is not supported for this App. Disappointing considering we still can't download with Iplayer.......
Devices which can use Anywhere app
Sony Xperia L (C2105)
Sony Xperia SP (C5302/03/06)
Sony Xperia Z (C6602/03)
Sony Xperia Z1 (C6902/03/06/43)
Sony Xperia U (ST25)
It's Virgin's responsibility to update their app. Send them a mail and ask if they can update it.
The Ultra is missed by a lot of developers. I've had a good response rate from developers and they have all said that they acknowledge the issue and will get an update done.

They have only just added any Android support - took them ages. Use the "Contact Us" form on their website to request it to be added, that's what I've done.
If you are rooted there uses a module for xposed called play store fixes which tricks it into thinking the dpi of the phone is different.

I don't believe it's a DPI issue, it's model.
Answer from Virgin Media, not good news:
Thanks for your e-mail to Virgin Media about the availability of the
Sony Xperia Z Ultra on TV Anywhere.
We understand your concern.
Right now, we're sorry but it doesn't look like we've got any plans to
add Sony Xperia Z Ultra on TV Anywhere App. We're always working with
the providers to bring our customers even more choice on Virgin TV, so
keep your eyes peeled! And check out www.virginmedia.com for the latest
stuff.

I don't see why there's a problem, there are many android devices with the same screen resolution and processor.
I would try one of the market helper apps, or xposed, to make Google Play think you're on a recognised device. I had to do this with previous phone, Note 2, to load the tesco clubcard TV app.

Doesn't the phone have to be rooted to use xposed? If so, then the app won't work anyway on rooted devices according to the comments in the store
A late reply but I have a One X which is also not supported. I used Device Spoofer to make my device appear as the HTC One. I was able to download and install the app from the market. In addition the app's record, remote control and program manager functions work perfectly however the ability to watch programs on the phone is blocked by a root checker.

You can only install the app on an approved device though (officially). The TVguide app has record functions but it doesn't have have network remote features.
Why do they do a root check? You can use the software on any PC, with whatever hacks you want installed, but there's some obsession with root on Android...

[Q] [REQ] Pen mode (xposed?)

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone with the know how could unlock the pen mode that Sony seemed to have planned to include for the Z2 tablet?
Rumors are that the hardware is capable, but that Sony has disabled "pen mode/glove mode".
There has been discussions about this topic before, would be eternally grateful if someone could make a mod.
Sincerely,
QT
Yuhp I would also love this. One of my main reasons of getting the z2 tab was because i thought it supported this by default because the z2 phone does.

Gaaah!
I hate it when I'm stalking APKMirror for updates to an app, and the update isn't the one I'm looking for:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...h-record-live-tv-1-10-8-android-apk-download/
1.10.8 does NOT show up on the leanback home screen, nor does it support controller input...
Guys let me know if it works outside USA when you get the apk.
Whoop whoop!
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/11/02/youtube-tv-app-android-tv-now-live-apk-download/
Its available on the Play Store now.
It works, but they want you to subscribe and pay them money... there is a 7 day free trial however, they still want your credit card info for that.
They need to update the app to be able to change profiles. Other than that it seems to be good so far.
