IR blasters are starting to become the norm on Android phones, which means you can control your home theater system or devices in other rooms in your house. The LG G2 comes with not only an IR blaster, but you will also find the Quick Remote app pre-installed. With Quick Remote, you can add your TV, cable/satellite box, AV receiver, DVD player, and more, so that you can control them via your G2. You can even setup different components for different rooms of your house such as your bedroom, kitchen, den, and office.
Quick Remote is a little limited in that you won't find built-in programming guide information like Samsung's WatchON or HTC TV, but it's easy to setup and it works well. Hit the break for my video showing you how it all works, and be sure to check out our other LG G2 guides.
I have a Maxent DVD player built in on a Maxent TV. It used to be set up to turn the TV on and I could switch to DVD mode and turn that on. Now I can only set up the TV Maxent and not the DVD part. Did they change the Quick Remote on the newer LG phones?
It had a DVD option on my older phone that worked beautifully. I upgraded to an LG G4 and now the quick remote is lacking the DVD player option. So where did it go? I am spending too much time on this…te old phone was no problem…had it set up in no time…now I’m driving everyone crazy while I am lookkng to add my DVD players…2 different room. This app is useless without the DVD player. HELP…i lniw it was there before? So stupid. Projector option and air conditioner but no DVD player????? Rediculous!!! At least i still have my old phone and it still works if i charge it up…shouldn’t have to though.
So agreed!!!! Totally asinine!!! Hate it!!!

Quick remote travou minha tv
I have a JVC LCD TV/DVD COMBO And I have the quick remote on my LG G2 and programmed it to use for the DVD player that comes built in with the TV. Well WHN I get to the title screen where it has, PLAY, SETUP,SCENES, AND SNEAK PEEK, it won’t let me push play. There seems to be no button on my phone that will play the movie. The remote that comes with the tv mysteriously stopped working and when I push the play button on the side of the TV, it won’t work either. On the TV remote it has an ENTER button. that’s what I need. And suggestions?
Is quick remote free?
Here is a Step by Step guide I copied from another forum.
Hit the + sign and selected “Customizable Remote”
Named the remote (for example “My AC” in case of Air Conditioner)
Organize the buttons on the virtual remote in the app the same way they are on the Original device remote (in this case, your AC)
Go through and programmed each button one by one. They’ll each be highlighted on the app, and you need to press the corresponding button on the original AC remote while aiming it at the IR blaster on the top of your phone.
If done right, each function should be recognized and saved automatically
I just bought my Android but there isn’t a big list to select from. I don’t see Trutech TV or more and there is no VCR/DVD/Blu-ray, only TV and Cable box. What devices does the Quickremote support. Oh and my phone is a LG Optimus F6. Quickremote came with it.
Quick remote does not work on my lg G pro light. I choose what device I want to control and then I get a search option. I type in, whatever, LG, Sony, Panasonic but, nothing happens. Please help me.

Can anyone find an app like this for ios
Works great at Applebees
Yes it is Great. It worked with Panasonic TV and LG A/C. But it is not working with : Star Link receiver, Mitsubishi A/c and westpoint A.c.
Can we add them
Yes we can add them. All you need to do is pick up the original remote, and follow the step by step guide after clicking on Universal Remote. You’ll have to manually drag and drop the required buttons and tune the frequency for each one. Don’t worry, It will copy the frequency from the original remote.
I don’t have a Universal remote option in this app.
It have in G2 but G2 mini can not learn frequency from other remote
You might need to update your Android software..
How do do work the quick remote?
The remote application has an interactive guide..
Where is the IR button at? Explain a little more on how to work it.

On mine, I don’t have a ‘Customizable Remote’ option, it’s a LG GPro, am I missing something?
