welp
i fell for the galaxy s7 meme
now i can't use my phone as a tv remote anymore
i did some digging and i guess the cause is samsung no longer includes an IR blaster?
(i'll admit i'm not savvy on tech lingo)
i'm just curious if there's any way around this
what can i do to turn my phone into a remote again?

Stupid questions thread, and maybe if you suck Samshit's dick hard enough they'll duct tape one on for you.

if its not there you cant. use your old phone. You said that worked.

old phone doesn't work actually
sort of a forced upgrade thanks to an irreparable power button and charging port
some article hinted that you can get around the IR issue but advised against it because it's "a pain to carry around"
fuck that
i rarely leave the couch anyway
idgaf if i need to add a fucking coat hanger antenna to the phone, i need my backup remote
get a $5 remote and duck tape it
