Have you tried the infrared?
We've had a laugh last week, when one of my mates used it to turn off the TV in the pub 
Live and let live, how hard can it be ?

A Twitter-friend in the UK once switched several TV's in an electronics shop to an adult channel

The IR Blaster is a very underrated feature, I use the one on my GS4 a lot especially now that local developers are making Remote Apps especially for GS4, Note 3 and One for the popular Multichoice Set-top-boxes we have here These phones are going to make us super lazy.
I'm also impressed by the long range of the IR Blasters and how quick they are, last phone I had with IR was my Nokia N80 and its IR was slow and cumbersome to use, tried it once or twice and gave up.

I remember having IR on one of my phones but it was for contact sharing only.
HTC One is a better remote for my tv and cable-box as the original RC.

True Hans I'm trying to remember, did the   W800 have IR?
Just saw that the LG G2 also has an IR Blaster, it seems the major Android OEMs, Samsung, HTC and LG somehow all managed to bring this back to mobiles with their flagships, I wonder why? Anyway, very convenient feature.

I used mine on my Xperia Tablet Z while on holiday in the function room, there was a movie playing as people waited for the rain to clear had so much fun switching channels and even turning the TV off the look on everyones face was priceless. 
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head

Sound is good on the One. The supplied headset is also good enough. It was sqeacking and distorted the first five minutes but became better. After about Fifteen minutes they sounded crisp and clear.

I heard Hans' phone when I was over in Holland last week. Them Boom Sound speakers are great Hans sometimes out the box dust can cause the headphone plug or socket to make it distort
