User guide
Turn your phone into a remote for Samsung, LG and Android TV. Your phone and TV just need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
1. Before you start
- Turn the TV on and connect the TV and phone to the same Wi-Fi network. Avoid guest networks, and turn off mobile data and VPN on the phone.
- Samsung: 2016 and later (Tizen).
- LG (webOS): turn on LG Connect Apps, usually under Settings › Network.
- Android TV / Google TV (Sony, TCL, Xiaomi, Philips…): nothing to set up.
2. Connect a TV for the first time
- Open the app. The Choose TV screen finds TVs on your network. If yours isn't listed, tap Enter IP and type the TV's IP address (from the TV's network settings).
- Pick your TV.
- Confirm pairing:
- Samsung, LG: the TV asks for permission; choose Allow with the TV's own remote.
- Android TV: the TV shows a 6-character code; type it in the app.
You only pair once. After that the app reconnects automatically.
3. Using the remote
| To | Do this |
|---|
| Move and select | Arrow keys and OK. Hold an arrow to keep moving. |
| Change volume | VOL in the app, or your phone's volume buttons (Android, toggle in the ⋮ menu). |
| Type text | Select a text field on the TV and your phone keyboard opens; text appears on the TV as you type. You can also tap the keyboard button. Some apps, like YouTube on Samsung TVs, use their own keyboard and don't accept text from the phone. |
| Move a pointer | Tap the touchpad icon in the title bar. LG TVs have a real pointer; Samsung only in the web browser; on Android TV swipes become arrow keys. |
| Open a TV app | Tap an app tile at the bottom. Samsung and LG: the app finds installed apps (tap “Rescan” after installing more). Android TV: starts with YouTube; other apps appear after you open them on the TV. |
| Numbers, Info, Guide | Tap 123. |
| Turn the TV on | Tap power while the TV is off. Enable on the TV first: Samsung “Power On with Mobile”, LG “Turn on via Wi-Fi”. |
4. Can't connect?
- Check that the TV and phone are on the same Wi-Fi and the TV is fully on (not in standby).
- Your router may have AP / client isolation turned on, which stops devices from seeing each other. Turn it off in the router's admin page.
- Denied the request on the TV by mistake?
- Samsung: Settings › General › External Device Manager › Device Connection Manager › Device List, then allow it again.
- Android TV keeps failing to pair: Settings › Apps › System apps › Android TV Remote Service › Clear data, then try again.
- iPhone: Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network, turn it on for Smart Remote Device.
- Still stuck: restart the TV and router, or enter the TV's IP manually.
5. Report a problem
On the Choose TV screen, tap 🐞 Report a problem, tap Copy, and email it to support@tiniappstudio.com. It includes the TV model and a technical log, never passwords or tokens.
