flirc interferes with my galaxy s5

[ofek]

I tried it on my laptop (win7 32bit) and my PC(win7 64bit) it works perfectly on both when my phone is in the drawer. once I bring my phone out(even after the configuration) the remote won't work properly.

If there is line of sight between the flirc and my phone, the remote won't work at all. if not it might work but I need to press like 3-4 times each button. and when I put my phone back in the drawer the remote works perfectly again.

 

I'm using the latest stable firmware (3.3)

 

This is kinda funny and took me few hours to realize that this is the problem...

Hi,

 

Galaxy S5 has a built-in IR blaster. Maybe there is some setting that keeps sending something with it all the time (or you have some software installed that does that). I don't see any other reason.

Thanks for your response, I found the problematic app (Smart IR Remote) it kept interrupting flirc even when the app was closed... once I removed it the flirc worked like a charm. much better than my RC6 one.
