Hi,
Just a quick question, has anyone tested USB OTG on the V10 yet? It is about the only feature I've not read about, I know the G4 supported it so just wanted to make sure this is the same for V10 before ordering. Also can anyone confirm the IR blaster is available?
Thanks in advance!
USB OTG working, and IR working too . i haved test on my F600L.

Another question since I have you if you don't mind, does the Hi-fi DAC work in all apps or this limited to the built in music player? No one seems to be able to answer this online.
How well does the ir blaster work compared to the g4? On g4, I have to aim it right at the source.

I have already replied at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63512060&postcount=14 , but that is completely untrue.
The Hi-Fi works at least with Google Play Music. I have tested it on a F600S.
The DAC, at first, only works with the stock music app, and as reported, Google Play (downloaded content only!). However, there is an app on the play store that enables it for pretty much anything. The app does work, thankfully, at least well enough to get the DAC active with Poweramp. Look for "DAC Fix".

I've used the Sandisk 32G (available here on amazon) with no problems. I've been able to transfer files both directions and watch video directly from the inserted drive.
IR blaster is very small and located on the top where you'd probably expect. I tested it successfully with my television.

Not very good compared to my old Note 3, Note 4, Note 4 Edge nor my Gear 2 Neo smartwatch. I think the IR blaster range is the only disappointment that I have on this device. I have to be within a few (4 maybe) feet for it to work with my TV. With my previously mentioned Samsung devices, even the watch, I could use the IR blaster from across the room (15 feet or more).
I guess I must not be that far away from my devices, I've not noticed a difference between my old note 3 and the V10 for the IR
My IR works 20 plus feet. I can control living room tv from the bedroom.

IR blaster works for me for about 4-5 meter
I am wondering if mine is defective. I have to get so close... But, I'm not sure I want to swap out my phone although it is pretty convenient to use it though.

My V10's IR blaster controls my tv and dish receiver from over 20 feet away. I do have to aim right at what I'm trying to control, as well as enter the first command after opening app more than once before dish responds. I'm very pleased with it. Awesome for lost broken and no battery remotes controls. Setup was fast and easy. :good:
USB OTG
So back to the USB OTG, I can't get mine too work at all on my v10. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if I just possibly got a bad cable.

Lol, I plan on messing with some co-workers during production meetings next week with TV in our conference room.
Love being able to use the S4 for channel surfing too as it is much faster than my slow direct tv box.
I caved and bought the "Smart remote for Galaxy S4" but haven't played with it too much yet. Seems to have alot of function available. Gonna mess with it more this weekend.
Maybe it's my tv, but do you have to point the blaster directly at the TV in order to get it to work?
I love the IR feature. But I found the range and angle to be very lacking. The IR beam seems like its only like 25° degrees... So you have to be right on with your aim. It's a little annoying I wish they would have used a better lens for the IR emitter.

Mine picked up my Sony Bravia and Samsung TVs very easily. But I had to try a few times and aim very directly for my Direct TV boxes. After paired though they seemed very responsive.

It's seems to work fairly better after some use, but I usually have to point it directly at my TV in order for it to work. Wonder if it's just my specific model TV.

It does, at least my uverse does. Just scroll down.
I tried the watchon app and it seems to work well with my Samsung tv and Directv. I have an audio receiver that I use for sound. Has anyone figured out how to use the volume for one device while the channel operates another? My Directv remote does it. Any of the pay apps do this?
I got all my TVs working decent enough, though ones that have HD converter boxes don't get a guide button. There's a menu button but that only brings up useless options, not the guide itself. If it's a TV with just the digital converter box there's a guide button that works fine, haven't quite figured out how to fix that yet.

Hold down the Volume rocker (on the screen, not on the phone) and a separate pop up will come up. I have an audio unit also that separately controls my sound. It'll bring up a thing to insert it. Strange that they would put it there, and not in the settings but...whatever it works... ya know?
Downloaded smart remote and 100 times better than watchon range seems better as well

Awesome but I just tried it and don't get the pop-up. I added my tv, added the directtv, then added my av system. I went to the remote where everything works but the volume. It tried to work the tv volume that is not used. Long pressing it does nothing. Did I miss something?

Looking forward to getting the phone and using this! Has anyone found a way to use it with the xbox 360 or is it impossible?
I have read that the phone does support mhl 3.0, but then I have read that it doesn't and the only way you are getting video out is through Miracast. Anybody here have direct knowledge if there is mhl support?
Thanks
Microsoft Miracast dongle won't work with it either. Does not connect. So much for using this phone with my Appradio.

Just wish I knew which adapter worked. I would get the nex4100, but having an Appradio 2 already and was planning on using ARLiberator or unchained, it would keep me from spending $600. At this point I guess I have to return my phone. Drastic I know, but my radio is useless without a phone.
Samsung phones will generally only work with Samsung brand MHL adapters.
I've read multiple sources on the web that it is true that he S6 doesn't support MHL. I'll verify this later today. While this isn't a big deal at home because you can use chromecast ...etc, , it is in my car. I've always displayed my Phone's (androids and IOS) on my car stereo, for gps or waze purposes (just some examples). Anyone else use MHL? kinda bummed about sammy taking away that functionality.

I got it to work with my AppRadio using Chromecast. Not sure if that is an option for you, but it did work for me. I just would rather use a hardwire connection. If Chromecast had not worked I would have returned the phone. Lack of MHL was a deal breaker for me, but Chromecast works really good for this device.

With Chromecast it is flawless, with any other Miracast adapter it is horrible. The only hard part (not hard, time consuming) is setting up the Chromecast to work with tethering off of your phone. The rest works just the same as an mhl adapter.
Well, these comments are bothersome! I ordered a Samsung MHL connector from Amazon and it is coming from China on a very slow boat. I ordered it two weeks ago and Amazon says it could be another month. This will tick me off if it finally gets here and doesn't work!! If anyone gets it to work, please post here!!
I got an official Samsung adapter and my s3 works like a charm but my s6 edge just shows a black screen
....m/-#*#*#**#@ !!! But Chromecast works well...dammit Samsung !

1. Better SOC: Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890
2. 64 GB base storage
3. microSD slot
4. Better camera with f/1.7
5. 3500 mAh battery
6. IP 68
7. USB-C
8. Iris scanner
9. Better S-pen with 4096 pressure levels
10. Gorilla Glass 5
11. LTE Cat 9
12. Dual edge screen ( if you prefer that)
Have I missed anything?
Overall it seems a solid but not spectacular upgrade.

I highly suspect you are trolling about this issue, but neither the Note5 or the Note7 have IR blasters,
and guys... for those of you crying about IR blaster... I know it sucks, but do yourself a favor and just get a harmony hub. it gives you an app that talkes to a wifi IR blaster that can control all your tv / receivers / etc.. and it works with ANY phone or tablet you have lying around. I know it sucks that it isn't built in any more, but its not going to change at this point. If you are one of the few percentage that took advantage of the blaster, just get the harmony hub and call it a day.

Sure thing,
The Harmony hub is a little black device that sits on your tv stand or in your media cabinet. It is a wifi enable device that also has an IR blaster. When you install the harmony app on your phone or tablet, it talks to the harmony hub over wifi. When you want to send a command to your TV or receiver or otherwise, you use the app which sends a message over the wifi connection to the harmony hub which in turn uses its IR blaster to send the command to your TV / audio system / game console.
The harmony hub has an extensive compatibility list supporting almost every device that can be controlled with a remote. The fact that it works over wifi means that you can use pretty much any phone or tablet at all as a remote.

Thanks. Looks like this is a good alternative.
Only two things left to worry about now. ..
- Lack of removable battery. .. (I am almost always rotating batteries on my Note Edge)
- functionality of the Edge. I like the way the edge works on the note Edge. Ie it's a genuinely independent screen and is one icon thick so doesn't detract from main screen.
What about the DAC?
Is this better than the Note 5?
Is it the same one as they put in the S7 Edge?

Someone posted this on Reddit:
The US version will have the standard integrated Snapdragon DAC, which is okay, quality wise, while the international (incl.Canada) version running Samsung's own Exynos SoC, will have a Lucky CS47L91 Sound DAC, which is speculated to be a Wolfson with a new name since Wolfson got picked up by a company some time ago, and the Lucky chip has the same model ID as the old Wolfson.
Both Support 24 Bit.

Yeah, the list of improvements is really big! However, there is one downgrade that bothers me a lot: the external speaker audio quality.
It so high pitched and lacks bass. Note 5 sound is waaaay better and louder.

I used to park in fast food places parking lots and turn off their menu/TV's from the car. Can't do that with this hub you speak of. I also turned off the TV at a restaurant because the servers decided a game was more important than their customers waiting on food/drinks. I'm a ****, I know but I am a merciful **** at times.
I'm really pissed of with Google, it seems that their ways to stop us from using what they doesn't want is by killing what we use...
My Nexus 5X already died into the bootloop issue, and today I've just seen that the Nexus 6P is having the exact same issue, which they say as a faulty hardware (Really? 2 completely different brands, with the EXACT SAME ISSUE? You must to be kidding me..).
This is not the first time that Google is killing what we use.
I'm a user of Miracast technology, since marshmallow it wasn't present, but you could activate via a build.prop tweak if you are rooted, in nougat they introduced a bug (yes, intentionally), that the phone will crash If you this tweak and connect to the tv, forcing me to buy their Chromecast 2.
This is not the only thing, have you ever wondered why the hell it doesn't has QI charging? To make us to use their "Fast charging USB C solution..
The Nexus 6 has also had something similar with it's notification LED, which can be activated only If rooted..
Now I really don't know what to do, I'm thinking of downgrading to Marshmallow before my phone got into bootloop, and not having another paper weight on my desk.
The only thing i can assure is that my next phone will be an Galaxy S8, and not another Google Crap phone.

I agree. It is getting ridiculous. All of the reasons we love the Nexus line are becoming blurry. Miracast is a huge one. Smart tv, Xbox One, and now I have to have a damn Chromecast as well. I'm starting to feel like Apple users must feel. Poor souls.
I don't understand. My Miracast works perfectly fine with Panasonic TVs and LG.

Given that the 6P has a metal build and that no other metal phones(from the top of my head) have Qi charging, I would assume it was due to the the metal build. And in regards to saying that they are just trying to sell "Fast Charging USB C solution", wouldn't you think that they would generate more revenue from implementing a convenient way to charge a phone?
Based on your opinion and what you had said, it sounds like the S8 is the perfect device for you. It's so great to have a plethora of device choices!

Well, my dead Nexus 5X has a plastic body and Google removed QI Charger from it too, something I found really useful, which I was using since Nexus 4 and had to stop on the new ones..

I've read online that it works with older Miracast (first, second gen) TVs. For e.g. it works with Roku 3 but not 4.

Oh, didn't know that.
But I totally understand you.
Google played a "good guy" comparing to Apple for a few years now, and I really saw this coming. Basically they're just the same. Profit, profit, profit.
You want to cast? Buy a Chromecast.
I really wouldn't be surprised if their Project Fi gains success, and they decide to lock their future devices to their own network.
Nokia years ago was really something else, but it was in the way of the American capitalism so they had to remove it from their perfect market picture.

I can confirm that miracast works on my Roku 3. I am stock 7.1.1. not rooted.
Hi,
I have this idea and would like to validate if it is feasible:
-What if I use one of those cheap VR headset , for example,
ebay.com/itm/New-1pcs-3D-Glasses-VR-Box-Headset-Google-Cardboard-Virtual-Reality-Hot-/391636008832?hash=item5b2f533f80:g:tvsAAOSwZQRYWNTS
- Then install controller-emulator app on of my old android 6.0:
developers.google.com/vr/daydream/controller-emulator
-Then I launch the Daydream app on my Axon 7 manually (no need for the fancy NFC trigger)
Is there anything that could stop this from working? I do not think the google daydream viewer has any special sensors or anything, right?
This is working but there are problems with the functionality by using the emulator method. Inputs weren't recognized in my lollipop device.
On mm it could work.
Why don't you try the emulator before buying the VR headset?
It did work perfectly for me. I used it to try daydream before deciding to purchase it. I used a Nexus 4 as a controller

Thanks, but why would you still purchase google's viewer if this method of using cheap one with emulator is working? you just wanted higher quality headset?

The Daydream headset is quite nice, compared to the carboard one I used for testing, and the actual controller is much better than a phone because you can actually feel and press the buttons. With a phone, you don't really know where your finger is and you have to do strange things like double clicks to simulate some controller actions. The controller, though, sometimes has problems, like losing connection, which a phone does not have. Hopefully they will get solved with firmware updates

To be honest I just want the controller. I have a "VR" headset (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/retrak-utopia-360-virtual-reality-headset/5449500.p?skuId=5449500) that works well enough and fits more securely than a Daydream viewer would (had an extra support strap).

They are also selling VR remotes on ebay, but I have no idea if they will work with daydream.
