but its in russian.......anyone knows where to find an english version?

i was bout to post tht ....ny way gud thinkin....

This is probably just some TV-guide or something, I doubt the Ir-sender sends a strong enough signal to control a TV

yup...u are right......it is a tv guide......tough luck....

there r 2 or 3 s60 tv remote applications.......i bet its impossible to make n app for java fones

Currently, not possible as the Java implementation runs in something similar to a sandbox, not allowing IrDA access. Maybe a firmware patch could allow direct hardware access, however I highly doubt this would be as useful.

JP-5 platform gives OBEX access along with BT however an implementation such as SIR or FIR would be required.

Shucks!

And don't forget about the IR range the phone operates.

I Agree range will be less but its possible as harry mentioned there 2-3 apps for S60 OS, but there is nothing as such for Java Phones....

hizzzzzzz

That'd be cool... using your phone as a remote =) I mean it has infrared technology, so it COULD work, just not possible

Does anyone know where I can get the application for S60 v3?

the phone does allow apps access to irda, but the transmission goes first through the software which doesn't allow modulation in any way of the infrared signal.. it only allows known codes to pass through (in or out).
but now we have elfs which don't care about the software
we only need someone to do it ))

First, congrats on bumping a two year old topic.

And as pointed out in other threads in this section, the infra-red port isnt strong enough to make the application worth having.
