AFAIK that doesn't work! Tried with my TV and my stereo remote, but my other phone and my old digi-cam did show the IR spots from both. Just tested with an IR device with both front and backside cams, both did not show anything like the others do. We also tested it with N900 CIR to N900 Cam to test if qtirreco sends anything, did not work too.
