Store listing

Full description
LG Remote Control is complete remote control for LG Smart TV and also Samsung TV models manufactured from ~2005 until present day. The difference between this and other applications found on store is that this remote works exactly like the original infrared remote. The remote's layout (image) is exactly the same as the Samsung and LG TV remote. Most older series use almost the same layout. So no need to learn how to use this app, just install it and start using it like your original remote. How to use: ★ For LG Smart TV over Wi‑Fi / local network: Make sure your phone and TV are connected to the same local network. Open the app, select your LG TV and pair it using the PIN code shown on the TV screen. You do not need the original remote control to pair the app with your TV. ★ Network control is supported for LG webOS TVs and older LG NetCast / legacy LG Smart TV models. ★ With a phone that has an IR blaster: Point your phone’s IR blaster directly at the television, just like with the original infrared remote. The usual working range is 3–15 ft / 1–5 m and requires line of sight. ★ On some phones, especially in power saving mode or with a very low battery, the IR signal may be weaker and the working range may be less than 5 ft / 1.5 m. ★ You can also use the Wear OS watch app together with a paired phone that has an IR blaster over bluetooth or Please note that the phone must still be pointed at the TV for IR control to work. The preferred method is to use WI-FI About compatibility: This app has been available on Google Play since 2015. To support existing users, backward compatibility has been kept for older Android phones with built-in IR blasters. IR remote control is still supported for LG TV and for all Samsung TV models. For most modern phones, the app is now mainly intended for controlling LG Smart TV over the local network. Features: All functions should work with the latest LG and Samsung TV models. If you have 15 year old model which does note have internet connection, then of course some internet related buttons like e-manual (online help) and internet apps will not open but all common functions will still work. WearOS app works together with the companion app installed on phone. Supported IR phones: Devices with IR blaster running on Android KitKat and newer e.g Galaxy series S4, S5, S6, S6 Edge, Note3, Note 4, Tab4, Mega, HTC One series (M7/M8/M9) running on original ROM, LG G3 Stylus, G5, Xiaomi Redmi Mi and Note series, many Huawei and Honor phones, TCT / Alcatel I221 and some Lonovo tablets with IR interface. Thanks for downloading this app. If this app doesn't work with your phone or TV then feel free to e-mail me. Disclaimer/Trademarks: This app is made by me and is NOT affiliated with or endorsed by LG, Samsung or any other developers.
