TV Remote App On Phones.

So I got bored the other day and was looking through some of the pre installed apps on my Galaxy S6 and found the remote app. When I figured out you can literally control any tv that you wanted anonymously in a close proximity, I started playing around with it and found some pretty funny things you can do. For example in public places you can control the tv's (turn on/off, volume, and channels) and people get really confused on what's going on. I've also heard stories of people in schools turning on/off projectors and stalling class. So I was wondering if you guys have heard about this and what other cool or funny things you can do with it.

So do the notes not have the remote thing on the front? Because I know iPhones don't but you can get adapters for it for like $1 of Amazon and it works perfectly. Wouldn't doubt they have it for the notes too if they don't have one already.

That thing is the best can be super useful for actually watching TV as well as pranks.
