Hi juuso. I've checked all my other cross-posts were just links, albeit with a couple of sentences intro. Thanks very much for your clarification on this, and for such an excellent resource as SamyGO. All the best for 2014!

Tested and working with Samsung S4 phone and 32C6000 tv.
If you don't see a "/remotes" folder in your phone files list, just create it and put inside the file with the edited codes, as explained above on this thread.
Works like a charm... enabled PVR and Guideplus on the latest T-VALDEUC-3018.1 firmware.
Many thanks to the authors and to all SamyGO forum !

Hi
How to change region (country for Smart Hub) in UE55ES8000 with Evolution Kit . Both methods (ffv 289 rev and mute, return, volup chup, mute) don?t work. Any solution? Without Evolution Kit worked the first one.

The original question was about CE dimming - any thoughts on where this option is in the Advanced Menu? I was able to get to the menus using televeyes instructions, but unfortunately I don't see a CE Dimming option.

You're not retarded dude. Your post helped me a lot :D
My TV is UE55ES7000 with latest firmware (2020)
The Local Set was greyed in the SM.
Using your method, I reached to change the Local Set from Netherlands to EU_France.

I just had to replace all the "," by ";" within the code you provided.
And save the file in UTF-8 format without any extension.
Otherwise the app doesn't load the file.

I confirm that on my TV the software ruSamsungTVCommunicator works well but does NOT reach to send the Factory and 3Speed signals.

Thank you dude ! ;)

N.B. The ruSamsungTVCommunicator Windows application was tried previously, and while it connected to the TV and could be used to send remote control key sequences, it appears that this model of TV, which had the latest firmware version (as at 27 December 2013) does not (or no longer) accept Factory and 3Speed codes via the network remote. Options were then considered for sending the required remote control button codes via infrared: (a) buying a Harmony 555 programmable remote control; (b) building an infra-red remote control using a pair of IR LEDs; (c) using an available Samsung Galaxy S4, which contains a programmable IR LED.

The third option proved cheapest and easiest. Here is the full sequence of steps that worked successfully:
  1. Installed the Samsung IR Universal Remote app from Google Play Store on the Galaxy S4 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ol.samsung). Note that this is not a Sumsung-authored app, it just has Samsung in the name.
  2. Tested the app could control the TV. Launched the app. Clicked on ?MY PRONTO IR CODES REMOTE 1 GUI?. Hit the phone Menu button and selected Choose Remote, then ?Samsung TV1?. While pointing the phone at the TV, hit numbers or other buttons on the virtual remote keypad (on the app GUI) to verify that the app was able to control the TV. (N.B. For a different model of TV, it's possible this step won't work, if the TV happens to use different codes for some remote buttons. It may be worth trying the 'Samsung TV2' remote in the app Menu, or proceeding onto the next step regardless).
  3. Created a file called Samsung_Factory_TV to make a custom virtual remote control, that assigned the codes for Factory and 3Speed to the num0 and num1 keys. The file was based on the example file provided by the app author, Sharp_LC_TV, so it?s not intended that any other codes sent by this custom remote will actually work on a Samsung TV. (Thanks to http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f= ... 277#p27006 and http://www.avsforum.com/t/1389562/samsu ... ussion/570 for the pronto codes). The file needed is copied below.
  4. Copied this file to /storage/emulated/0/remotes on the Samsung Galaxy S4. (To get the file on the phone, you could email it to the phone as an attachment, then use My Files to move it from Downloads into the correct place). Closed and relaunched the app.
  5. Put the TV into Service Menu mode, by powering off the TV, then hitting INFO MENU MUTE POWER on the TV remote control.
  6. On the app on the phone, hit the phone Menu button and tapped Choose Remote, this time selected ?Samsung Factory TV?. Pointed the phone at the TV and hit 0 then 1 on the virtual remote keypad (on the app GUI). The service menu disappeared then reappears. Put the phone down. Pick up the TV remote control.
  7. Navigated using Up/Down arrows to Option, then Enter, then Down to Locale Set (which was no longer greyed out/disabled) then Enter, then used Left/Right arrows to change locale from EU_FRANCE to EU_UK. Clicked Return to navigate back up to the top menu.
  8. Navigated using Down arrow to Control, then hit Enter, then Down to Sub Option, then hit Enter, then Down to Info Link Country, then Enter, then used Left/Right to change from None to UK. Clicked Return to navigate back up to the top menu.
  9. Powered off the TV. Powered on the TV. Clicked Menu to bring up the standard user menu (not the service menu) and navigated to and selected Factory Reset. The TV powered off and powered on automatically.
  10. On powering up, the TV now had a Freesat option in the Tuner menu. After reconnecting it to the network, after a pause it automatically uninstalled some non-UK apps and automatically installed some UK apps. I can confirm the Freesat tuner option worked correctly, as did apps for BBC iPlayer, ITV On Demand and 4oD, once they were installed.

Dear televeyes,

thanks a lot for your precise instructions.

I installed the Samsung IR Universal Remote app on my Samsung Galaxy S5 mini (the app is not available in the Google Play store anymore, but I found it somewhere else) and I managed to get done all the other steps, however this app does not control my Samsung UE40ES6570 smart tv. I tried several other apps and I can confirm that they control my TV well. The problem I have is that these other apps cannot load custom virtual remote controls.

Can you please recommend me other apps that work with the custom vitrual remote control file you created in step 3?

Thank you!
