About this app

With the app "TV (Samsung) Remote Control" you can use your smartphone to control your Samsung TV over the local network and/or with IR (if your android has infrared port).

You have 2 options:

★ Network IP control (WiFi / WiFi Direct / LAN).
Works with C, D, E, F, K and M (2016+) models, but not with H and F models.
- Make sure the TV that you want to use is turned [On]
- Make sure your mobile device and TV are connected to the same home network. If your router supports a privacy separator function, make sure it is disabled.
- It is also possible to enter the TV's IP address manually. To find you TV's IP address go to TV: [Menu] → [Settings] → [Network] → [Network Status].

If TV was found but after selecting the TV:
- If you have refused the confirmation message on your TV ("accept device") you need to change your selection by going to:
[Menu] → [General Settings] → [External Device Manager] → [Device Connection Manager] → [Device List] or with older TV models [Menu] → [Network] → [Expert Settings] → [Mobile Device Manager] or [Menu] → [Network] → [AllShare Settings].
- You can disable the TV's ("accept device") screen by going to eg. [Menu] → [Settings General] → [External Device Manager] → [Device Connection Manager] and changing [Access Notification] -> "First Time Only".
- If a PIN code is requested on your TV screen - sorry, but with this TV this app won't work :(

★ Infrared (IR) control
- This option works on phones and tablets with built-in IR blaster such as Samsung Galaxy S, HTC ONE, LG G3/G4/G5, Xiaomi Mi / Redmi / Note, Huawei Mate / Honor etc).
- Tested with Samsung TV F and M models, but probably works also with others Samsung Smart TV-s build 2005 and later (if it does, then let us now and give feedback).
- Please note that you must point your phone’s IR blaster directly at the TV. Usual working range is 4-10ft (1-3 meters, max ~5 meters).
- With some phones in power saving mode or with almost empty battery the IR blaster might not work or range is less then 5ft (2 meters).

The purpose is not to replace the original TV remote, but this app is handy in emergency situations (original remote is lost, empty batteries etc). It's ready to use (no need for pairing with the TV).

If this app doesn't work with your phone or TV then feel free to e-mail me (your exact TV and phone model). Then I can try to add support for your phone or/and TV model.

Ratings and reviews

if your looking for a free ad free that works with Samsung Smart TV look no further. You literally only have one pop up at very beginning of day when u start using it and never again the rest of day. this one may not look like your remote but it works beautifully! I rate 5 stars without hesitation. My remote broke one day after spilling a drink on it and I didn't have to buy one. you will have to click your power button once to click ALLOW ( if you don't have a remote control to push ok)

Works better now .. Really REALLY HOPE that in a future update , the EXIT tab can be disabled. Because Some of us have Large Hands an fingers , accidently hitting the " EXIT" Tab results in having to delete the app then , re-install the app . Its really frustrating by my accidentally hitting the Exit tab. Its happened more than a few times. BUT ! Overall this remote app is EXCELLENT 👍

Just been a couple hours, but pretty amazing! No ads yet (thanks). This is minor, but the remote is a clone of the physical one. One of my peeves about the plastic one is that the play, etc button are at the bottom. It found my Samsung TV flawlessly and is working smoothly as I move through my house (I have other extenders so it could jump). Thanks app guys 👍. Sorry for the comment about the app with the buttons on the bottom. Thank goodness I don't find the buttons on a black remote.
