I got my XDA II (Chinese Version) and try to use TV Remote 5.5. However, I tried using the built-in profile (Panasonic TV), no response. I tried to learn from the remote, but it couldn't learn and 'Time Out".

Is there any setting needed to be set to use the IR remote function?

I dont think the IRda on the XDA-II is of the same class as those IRs used by the likes of TVs etc.... sorry, means good Ir data rates but your remote control software will not work.

someone feel free to correct me :lol:

Thanks.

Then, how can I use my XDA II as remote control for my tv and dvd?

I've sent an E-Mail to the TV Remote Controller author regarding about this issue. But no response at all. I've been using it for my XDA for a long time.

i gotten it to work
but the solution was to get as close to the device
as 30cm

which kinda makes the name remote a joke :P

Rudegar,

You are lucky. I installed the TV remote, but could not send remote signal or learn from a remote control....

Any idea on the setting in the device.

FYI, I can transmit data through the IR...

First: sorry for my english...
The problem is, that the tv remote program cannot connect to the ir port.
but i cannot find why... it might be another program...
i figure that out, when i took an camera to view the ir beam...
when i send an message via ir, i saw the ir beam, but when i send
signals via a tv remote program, i saw nothing...
i thing, some registry hack can solve this problem...
i hope soon....
