Re: QtIrreco for N900

Worked fine for me but now it stopped working with no reason, it seems that the IR LED of the N900 doesn't works sometimes. Anyone got a idea how to enable it again?

Re: QtIrreco for N900

I have that problem from the beginning.. I dont get the IR LED working at all.. With another N900 works fine. I have tried to reinstall qtirreco but that didnt help.. What should I try next?
Is there some specific file that I could copy from working phone to faulty one?? File that controls/configures IR LED?

Unfortunately not.

First thing to check is if lirc is running by typing ps in terminal.

Then check the file under /opt/qtirreco/Remotes/<remotename.conf> whats the device in line:

command: <device> <command>

Then check if that device actually is the same under /opt/qtirreco/Devices/<device>. There check the line after begin remote.

name <device>

Then under /etc/lircd.conf you should have proper device path included.

If those devices in lines match and lirc runs the IR signal should be sent. Some codes doesn't work but still the signal is emitted.

Re: QtIrreco for N900

however, it only works from within 2 metres of my SKY+ box.

Re: QtIrreco for N900

cheers zoot!

Problem where at lircd.conf file. It didnt have device path for remote. It would be good idea to make documentation from these questions and answers. FAQ file etc... Makes some work but I'm sure it will pay of in future.
