I used to have so much fun back when cell phones had IR blasters. Changing channels and messing with people before it was common knowledge that you could do that on a cell. I wish phones still had that.
Back in the day when they were actually focused on putting features into phones instead of stripping them out…
RIP FM antennas, too.
used to have a FM tuner on the modem. International models do still carry modems with FM tuners on them. And the antenna was you headphone cord. Which is why it doesnt and won’t work with Bluetooth… And for all likely hood it won’t work with USB c headphones either
RIP headphone jack 🫡
Swappable batteries was the big one for me
Oh man my LG V20 was great for this
The Redmi line still has ir transmitters afaik
I confirm. The kid in me made me buy it
Long before smartphones, Casio used to make an IR blaster watch. Nobody ever suspected the person checking the time was messing with the TV.
When the teacher took your watch at the beginning of class it was either test time or tv cart time.
There are still ways to do that. A friend of mine loves to mess woth Telas. He can open their charging door with a device.

Came here to post this. There’s a great diy post I always wanted to make that integrated one into a hat
Such a brilliant product!
It’d be crueler to open the VUDU app.
I loved it when my phone had IR. I really hate it when restaurants have tvs on in the dining room. I would turn the volume down or even turn it off. I really miss being able to do that.
Most Chinese brand phones like oppo and Xiaomi still has it as standard.
I use it to control my air conditioning all the time.
what is a good phone that has it?
I miss using my LG v20
i still have redmi note 4 with one
fully controllable with an api tooI had that phone for like 4 months and loved it! Unfortunately the police stole it when the house I was living in was raided… it was a good phone, I spent quite lot of hours researching which to get and decided that would be the best.
I wonder if an IR dongle is a thing that’s available and would function well…
look irplus wave if you have a headphone jack
if you have a headphone jack
about that… :(
yeah my phone doesn’t have one (pixel 7a)
mine has tho (a52s)
well main reason I have a pixel is I hate one ui
oneui is pretty decent but actually i don’t like the build quality on most older a series, including mine.
it got better with a54, a53 and a7x ones tho
Did that in my high school. Turned on Thomas the Train.
I was a rebel. They unplugged the TV after that
I just brought a universal remote to class, admittedly causing the TV to get unplugged as well.
everyone who doesn’t use roku: ???
