S4 active cyanogenmod11-nightly: infrared not working
Hi everybody,
I have been following the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658534&page=109
(cmod-11 for s4active) for quite a while. I am very happy with what spegelius and all the others have achieved. Thanks so much !
(I am not allowed to post in that actual thread because my account is new and I dont have sufficiently many posts, maybe somebody can move my post to the appropriate thread).
Anyways, today I realized that the infrared remote control built into the s4active is not working with the current cmod11 nightly (20150103). Maybe something to mention in "known issues" (unless it is working for somebody else...?).
It had been working with original Samsung firmware. There I had tried it with an app "IR remote control" (this was simply the first app i came across for remote control) from google play store. I could control my Philips TV with this and I am pretty sure that I was able to see the IR LED in another mobile phone's camera (as it is infrared light one cannot see it with human eyes).
Also on another s4active phone I am running some earlier version of the nightly, actually from 20140609, and IR is also not working there (I will update that version soon to a more recent version, but I unfortunately I have way too little time to play with my phone

). For both versions, the ir app is not complaining, but the TV does not respond and I also I dont see any IR activity from the LED when filming it with another phone. I think it is not doing anything.
I dont use the IR remote control in everyday life (as you see I realized it only after half a year

) and i dont think it is terribly important, but I just wanted to report back that it seems to be disabled (as on the front page of this thread it says "no known issues" and you were asking for feedback...). Maybe others can confirm this.
Thanks again for the great great work to make cmod happen on the s4active !
