N900 infrared problem
 

hey guys i ran into a problem with my n900. As describe above I can't seem to get my N900 infrared to work with QTirreco remote control app. I can't seem see an infrared option in the sending or share area either. How can I test if my infrared is not dead?

please help this little lost bird out. I tried download more remotes but nothing is going.

Regards,
Maxx

anyone have a solution to this?

I've tried that app and it worked great(I've since uninstalled it, already have a Logitech Harmony control). To check if it works, take a camera/a phone with a camera, point the camera to the IR sender(it must obviously be on), then press to send a remote command in the application. You should see a bright white light. It could be something wrong with the application though, so it appears non-working.

seriously no one can help me?

Infrared is only Consumerl IR... it means it's not IrDA it means it isn't possible to send through it.

It will only allow to control devices.

so which meant i can't test it? any command which i can run to activate it? or doing a test run? it would be nice if someone can write an addon to the gallery and allowing infrared sending

The IR in the N900 is not meant to send/receive files, if I recall correctly. It's only made for emitting IR-beams, like a remote control.

If you have a DSLR with IR remote support there is a Shutter widget in the repos that allows you to control it.

Re: N900 infrared problem
 

is the widget called Shutter?

Re: N900 infrared problem
 

Yes, as Ruskie said. It's a small widget using LIRC to emit a shutter command to Nikon DSLR cameras.
I'm also working to extend it for other cameras.
