can you describe what and when this happen? a lot of other users report that Modded Drive Link on S4 (with stock FW) is working perfectly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kan-g:
Thanks for replying.

Create some shortcut for GMail and Chrome => shortcut created

Access application from shortcut => application close on the Alpine, open on the mobile normally

Click to come back in Drive Link => come back in at the last screen

The question is: did the other guys work with Stock S4 4.2.2, build JDQ39.I9505XXUBMEA ?

I'm on Verizon running Bonestock 3.0 with 4.1.2 and Nova launcher. App from the same link installs fine for me, runs when disconnected, I add all the shortcuts, but does not do full mirroring when connected to my XAV701HD. The screen flashes the app for a split second then returns to the list of shortcuts... Should I return this thing and get Appradio 3?

So, got an unexpected bonus this afternoon at work!

[MENTION=5238160]AuRoN89[/MENTION] I can afford $50 now instead of $20 if you can help me get this working on my HTC Amaze 4g (Tmobile). I'd prefer it to work on the stock (rooted) rom as is, but I'll still pay you even if I have to put a custom ROM of some sort on and trick the phone into thinking it's a GS3.

As a sign of good faith, and for the impressive work you did for everyone else who are able to use r3, as a thank you for taking an interest in this project in general, I'm going to paypal you $20 right now. Thanks again, and I hope you can find some time to help me get this working.

Working on Sony XAV701HD

The original three apps Music, Location, and Phone works without the parking brake engaged. To get the other Shortcuts to work, you have to bypass the PB feature as it is not recommended because it is a safety feature. NO ONE is taking responsibility if you do this. On your HU; disconnect the green parking brake wire and ground it. REMEMBER, IT IS NOT SAFE TO WATCH MOVIES WHILE DRIVING AND IS UNLAWFUL IN MOST STATES.

Appradio 3

Appradio 3 does ful mirroring also full speed mirroring of pioneer app radio apps. Just yesterday my daughter watched a full episode of my little pony off of YouTube in hd! This head unit is basically flawless. Connects every time. Bluetooth phone calls sound 100 times better than the icsx7hd. Also I can listen to Bluetooth or radio while I am in mirror link!! A lot of head units can't do that!!!

Hi all.

All working well on my S4 and sony XAV701bt.

I do have some question though.

Is it expected that the phone doesnt charge whilst connected?

how am I able to keep the phone screen from turning off so the mirror stays active. with "tasker"?

Is there a way to change the default music icon to launch spotify rather than going into shortcuts to launch it?

One bug I think it may have. If I go into contacts, hit "favourites" or search for a contact. After selecting a contact it the pops up a mini popup to select what number I would like to dial, but the dialog box is a small window that crops detail so you cant see everything available.

Thanks for any guidance.

What are donation amounts? discretionary?

Thanks all.

Fantastic work!!!

Appradio 3

In order to get mirror link to work on appradio 3. Go to your settings page and make sure you have the connection set to others and not iPhone which is the default setting. If you follow the manual it says do this procedure first before you ever connect your smartphone. If I were you I would reset the head unit first. Another thing if you are connecting mirror link for the first time it helps if you open the app and close it so it will be running on your phone when you connect it. What cable are you using. I am using just my phone charging cable. Don't waste your money on pioneer cables. Same thing with the appradio connection. Any hdmi will work but you will have to buy the Samsung 11 pin hdmi to mhl adapter. Does your phone operate on drivelink properly without being connected on head unit? Take your time to read the manual dude it really helps trust me!

Thanks for response. I've tried resetting unit & followed pioneer directions to the tee but no luck. I've used both samsung & pioneer micro usb cables. Drivelink starts up as soon as I plug it in but no inyeraction with ar3 & setting is set to OTHERS. I had the unit working with mhl but no touchscreen & arlib isn't functional with ar3 yet so I figured I'd do mirrorlink. Do I need certain launcher or rom?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kan-g:
Personally, the only way I have to be able to have a mirror link who work is:

Rooted device

Stock ROM (recognition from the device on the head unit)

Drive Link 1.1.028 (original from Samsung) => normal mirroring from the application

Drive Link 1.1.028r3 (version AuRoN89) => full mirroring (only the app from the normal soft work on Alpine head unit)

Device: i9505

ROM: Stock S4 4.2.2

Build: JDQ39.I9505XXUBMEA
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodze81:
Hi Kan-g,

Like you I have an Alpine ICS-X8, but I have a SGIII, when you say:

Do you mean that it will do the full mirror but you can only open the apps that are present in the normal Drivelink App.. OR you can only use the normal Drivelink app on an Alpine deck?

I've read through most of the pages here but can't tell... is the consensus that Alpine issue is not fixable?

Cheers,

Matt
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kan-g:
Hello Woodze81,

With the Alpine unit, you can use both version of DriveLink, but, as soon as you launch something who is not a part of the "normal" version, the Alpine unit doesn't display it.

FIX FOUND for VZW GS3

UPDATE: I found the fix to this.

Essentially you have to run the original Drivelink app from the Play Store and get that to run once on the head unit, and then you can uninstall the original Drivelink and install the modified r3 Drivelink from this thread. I think running the official app first once does like an initialization of sorts but it works great, and flawless after updating my Android OS to the latest version.

1) Remove all Drivelink apps, and update to Stock 4.1.2 Verizon Galaxy S3 (current latest android OS as of 7/16/2013)

2) Apply Root

3) Using Google Play Store, install official Drivelink app

4) Hook the VZW GS3 to your Sony XAV-701HD head unit and fire up mirror link to ensure it works at least once

5) Remove the official Drivelink app,(i always clear cache and data from the app as well)

6) Install the DriveLink r3 file from this post

after that, you should get the full mirroring app to run everytime. hope this helps someone as it was a lifesaver to me. Mirror Link is back!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
You stated in another post that you are stock. Are you rooted? Could you please also specifically cite what OS level you are at? (android version and baseband version)

I have the very expensive mhl adapter from Samsung purchased through Bestbuy to assure it is real.

I am presently fully able to run the appradio crap.... (which is crap as you doubtless already know) I am able to use the touchscreen to navigate around the appradio 3 screen, run apps blah blah blah.

When I use the updated drivelink app from this thread, it fully installs, fires up, but I don't get a response from the touchscreen......

I running a rooted Verizon Samsung S3 with cleanrom 7................... wondering if I need tmserver, because at present it is not in the /system/app folder. Cleanrom 7 is based on the latest release from Verizon but is very stripped down. Guessing you still have it and that may be the last hurdle I have to get drivelink full mirroring running.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busyychild:
I had the AppRadio 2 with my Sprint GSIII, I am reluctant to get a AR3 as I along with MANY others had issues with the MHL connection on the AR2. The main issue was snow. Do a search on appradioforums.com to see what I am talking about. It is my understanding the AR3 is the same exact hardware as the AR2 with mirrorlink support. The specs on the AR2 was lackluster, and was and was not fully featured (only 2v 4 channel preouts, no sub preout, 14w RMS output).

I was using the unit with in many configurations. I experienced snow to varying degrees on all combinations.

OEM Samsung MHL Adapter

Skiva MHL Adapter (worked best)

Stock Rom/Pioneer Interface. Not-Rooted

Stock Rom/Pioneer Interface. Rooted

Stock Rom/ARLiberator. Rooted

Custom Rom/ARLiberator. Rooted

Im going to sit back and wait for some more reviews. Hopefully the Snow problem has been resolved.

I'd be interested to see if Pioneer comes out with other headunits that support MirrorLink. I was going to jump on a JVC NSX1, but the interface and overall design of the unit is cheap looking. Most people seem to hate the Samsung unit, and the Alpine unit is too rich for my blood at the moment, and doesnt seem to support full control.

Has anyone tried this with a rooted VZW Galaxy Note II and an AppRadio 3?

Alpine [Sweden] has an update for the X8-firmware jumping from 1.201 to 1.400 and there is also an update for DriveLink avaliable version 1.1.029 om Samsung download site. I have just tried it and full mirroring is still not supported by Alpine / Samsung.

EDIT & UPDATE

This is NOT fun at all i have to say. I know some people blame the X8-unit and others blame DriveLink and i do not know what to beleave anymore. After spending almost one hour in the car trying to get it to work i gave up. After updating the X8-firmware my Alpine unit is much faster and can "do more things" than before but one thing is sure - it can not handle FULL MIRROR whatever i use or try.

I'm giving this issue no more of my time since there is 1 000 000 different opinions on why FULL MIRRORING is not working.

I received this e-mail recently... thought it might be of interest:

"Greetings from the Car Connectivity Consortium -

Firstly, we’d like to thank you for your interest in MirrorLink and developing applications that can be used responsibly while driving. Secondly, we’d like to give you a quick update on all the activities that are going on inside of CCC and the preparations we are making to support third party application developers.

With that preparation here is an overview of our activities:

•	The development of requirements for basic and drive mode certification are in final review, and we should be able to provide those to you shortly. Related test specifications will be coming along soon.

•	The ML Common API has been defined, which all MirrorLink servers (phones) will utilize. Each mobile platform will have its own "flavor" of the Common API, with the Android-specific version first for completion. This API gives you access to some elements of the MirrorLink session that you can use within your app: status messages, input events, and notification systems.

•	The App Certification Management System (ACMS) is now online and able to distribute and manage application security certificates. This will allow app developers and the CCC to control how, when and where MirrorLink applications can be used while driving.

•	Certified MirrorLink devices that support third party applications are also coming soon.

•	We are also working on a number development tools to aid in application development:

o	A Linux MirrorLink Client simulator.

o	A rotary shift-knob controller that you can use with the simulator to develop and test alternative control schemes.

o	Extensions for the various SDK device simulators to support the MirrorLink API.

o	Documentation on MirrorLink specifically for application developers, telling you what you need to know about MirrorLink, how it works, and what it does.

o	A MirrorLink developer portal that will serve as a central repository for everything you need to develop MirrorLink applications, and get support.

Most of all, the CCC wants you to know we’re doing everything we can to bring high quality standards and development tools to the table for your use as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and we look forward to working with all of you in allowing your creativity to help make MirrorLink a great success!

Finally got my Samsung Galaxy S4 (Free after I sold my old phone, w00t!) I rooted it but left the stock rom on. I put the r3 APK on and it works beautifully!

I do have one curiosity:

I had been following instructions from earlier in the thread. (Connect Bluetooth -> Launch drivelink -> launch mirror link -> plug phone in) ; however, this morning I didn't want to use drivelink and just wanted to plug the phone into the head unit to charge while doing a DVD instead on the head unit. So I connected the bluetooth (in case of a call), I did not launch drivelink or mirrorlink, but when I plugged the usb to the phone to charge it, the system on the phone automatically launched drivelink and the 601BT automatically launched mirrorlink and connected them. I then had to exit dl on the phone and exit ml on the head unit. This is not the end of the world, just curious if anyone else has experienced it? And does anyone know an easy way to turn this feature off so drivelink doesn't launch everytime I unplug and re-plug the phone. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:

because it's how drive link work, it auomatically start the mirroring if the unit it's connect. i don't like it too, but it should be easily bypassable, if a lot of people do not want that i can remove that.

So,

Couple things here.

1. I was confused over whether or not I needed an MHL adapter to do mirror link. You don't need one, all you need is the USB adapter you use every day to move data to/from your phone and charge it.

2. I had attached this cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B3P1IGG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (2 meter version) to the back of my appradio3. After going through every scenario software-wise possible, and almost giving up, assuming something was wrong with my appradio3 , I decided to start swapping cables....... this was the issue. In the end , it ended up my stock samsung s3 usb cable had enough length so I'm simply using it. I'm not sure why the Amazon cable isn't working for simple mirror link. The appradio app worked fine through the MHL cable (which in turn was connected to through this amazon cable) and it always charged fine as well.

3. All seems well at this point................although I still would like to see ARLiberator work with appradio3 as it would be nice to utilize the appradio's gps and such.....
