I beg to differ...I've been using the Allshare Cast Dongle with the Appradio 3. Works like a champ! I haven't tried the the Chromecast Dongle.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XXtremeAzzKicker:
That's pretty slick. So with that you can still control your phone from the deck? FYI you can program a NFC tag to connect strait to the dongle. Saves a few steps rather than go to setting and stuff.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drawblood:
Yes, full control of phone from deck. Several issues...the latency is a bit slow (currently update helps this a bit) and you can't have a rooted phone. Allshare Cast, when started, checks to see if your phone is rooted or not. There's plenty of topics on the forums about this issue. I'm sure there's a solution (i.e. working ROM) to fix the issue. The end goal for me is to get Allshare working with a rooted phone so I can run ARLiberator on Appradio3.

allshare dongle + APR3 + what app?

Hi this caught my attention I just want want some clarification on your setup. So you have all share dongle

With APR3 and what app are you using Drivelink, appradio, arlibirator? And would you mind sharing your steps or instructions on how to connect your dongle to APR3

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

How do I silence the incredibly annoying Weather announcement when Drivelink is started?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drawblood:
You have to have an un-rooted phone. The Dongle or the All-share program checks the root statues (plenty of forums on this topic).

I have yet to find a rooted ROM that works. I'm sure there's one out there by proof of the link below...

I'm using the AllShare Dongle with the Appradio App using the Appradio 3. The latency is a bit slow, but having all the wires tucked away is a huge bonus!! And you don't get over heating issues either. I've asked to get Allshare Cast working with Drivelink r5, but no response yet. ARliberator doesn't support Appradio 3 yet (it's coming), so I can't speak to that. I know ARliberator and Allshare are working on the Appradio 2.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckingzebra:
Did you try that triangle away app he mentions, suppose to reset the root counter so you can be rooted and use your allshare dongle, i coughed up the 60 bucks and bought the pioneer android kit, and no snowing or lag issues.

I also just noticed i cannot find the arliberator forums, it get taken down?? I need arliberator working on my appradio 3!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drawblood:
Yes, tried Triangle Away...didn't work. I too noticed the ARliberator site was down. Let's hope it's temporary. I know Kyle was sick for quite sometime. The Pioneer kit is OK at best. I still get occasional snow (Galaxy S3). I've since purchased Samsung's MHL 2.0 adapter and have had great success with it! If you go that route, be sure to buy directly from Samsung's online store. The "Genuine" Samsung products found on Amazon and Ebay aren't so "Genuine" they're cheap knock-offs!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckingzebra:
I got a verizon gnex, and its crisp with the pioneer kit. i tried a 5 to 11 pin adapter and drivelink, found out neither compatible with my phone ... kinda stuck waiting for arlib. if it still exists...

O, when i run the diagnostic on arliberator i get a red x for no app interference, " you can remove the stock AppRadio app. ARLiberator may not connect if it is running." Sos i uninstalled it and i still get the red x and message. Anyone know how to fix this?

Try turning off WiFi - I have seen this on my stock Verizon s4. One of the first things done (I guess by TMServer) is to turn on tethering to provide a network connection between the head unit and the phone, if WiFi is connected, then it errors out.

I discovered a way for this to work!!!!!

i figured out how to get this app to work with the galaxy s4!!!

WHEN YOU CONNECT YOUR GS4 DEVICE TO THE HEAD UNIT, IT WILL EITHER START DRIVE LINK OR YOU WILL START IT. HERE'S WHAT I DID. WHEN IT GOES TO THE WARNING SCREEN AND ASK YOU TO AGREE OR DISAGREE, SIMPLY CLICK YOUR HOME BUTTON ON YOUR S4 (THE BIG BUTTON UNDERNEATH YOUR PHONES SCREEN) ONCE YOU DO THIS, YOUR RADIO SCREEN WILL GO DARK. SELECT WHATEVER APP YOU WANT TO USE ON YOUR PHONE, THEN THE SCREEN WILL COME BACK ON WITH THAT APP RUNNING, AND IT WILL WORK, JUST AS YOU WANT!!!! I DID THIS LAST NIGHT, AFTER SEEING ALL THE POSTS THAT IT WOULDN'T WORK. i JUST GOT THE JVC-KW NSX1 INSTALLED SATURDAY. I TRIED PANDORA,MAPS, SOUNDHOUND, THE PHONE ITSELF, AND A FEW OTHER APPS, AND THEY ALL WORKED THROUGH THE RADIO!!!!! GIVE IT A TRY, AND LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU ALL!!!

I got this working fine with my Tmo S3 and the Sony 701HD unit. My problem is with the unlimited 4G $20 plan, I can only tether to a certain point. After that, I get an upsell message from Tmo and tethering is disabled. Is there a workaround like PdaNet+ that will hide the tethering mode so that Tmobile only sees the data as coming from my phone? I bought the full version of PdaNet+ and will try to activate it today while running mirrorlink to see if it will trigger the upsell message.

I don't know why Mirrorlink would show up as tethering if all the programs are running on the phone. :/

I hope using PdaNet+ works to hide the data as coming from the phone and not from the head unit.

S4 LTE-A (SHV E330S - SKT south Korea)

Has anyone had any luck with the SHV E330S ? (LTE-A S4 frm SKT mobile Korea -> S800 chipset). I get the device not detected error in my XAV-601BT. works flawlessly with the S3 (non-korean).

The firmware has a 'SKT hidden menu' with several USB connection methods (PTP/MTP/ADB/RNDIS/DB/MODEM etc). I tried ADB+MTP , no luck. Also tried one of the DB modes (debug) still didnt work.

you have to search for ACSLOG (which is a process os tmserverapp.apk)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wkwk:
hi again first let me say thanks for helping me out. I wasn't able to track the acslog file (maybe I misunderstood) , but I've attached the tmserver.apk status details after I connected the phone to the system and start drivelink. As you can see the status is active ( for about 9 min when I took the screen shot.).

Ps - would like to mention that I understand that acslog is a process. I mis stated above. Also I added a 2nd image showing the apk status when usb is not connected to system and only drivelink is launche (status in this case is 'stopped').

I get the message every time, and also the re-establish connection message, and that was with a stock S3 and stock drivelink, and this modified drivelink.

It still works, mostly, have to plug in and out a few times, but have always got this message. Sony tell me I should send the radio to be repaired....

I just wish it was 100% , but will have to wait till next year for an S4 to try

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre!:
I've also installed a 601bt unit and use it in combination with the S3...

I like it much, but the fact that you have to be in BT-Audio mode to receive notifications/navigation sounds is disastrous :( hope Sony fixes this...

And of course the warning sound after switching the unit off :eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
Andre, sounds like you are making the same mistake I and others made - if you switch on bluetooth before connecting with mirrorlink(/drivelink), you will have music/nav sounds to the headunit via usb and calls/notifications over bluetooth (via the drivelink app) without the need to be in BT Audio mode on the headunit.

If you read back a few pages - it may help :)

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

BTW - there is a new version of Drivelink up on Samsung apps, after I installed it the app kept force closing, had to uninstall and reinstall from scratch to get it working.

Not sure it's worth the hassle as there are no new feature as far as I can see (I've yet to plug it into the car though) and still can't add shortcuts or select diff nav apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre!:
Thanks, but read that ;)

It works for me if I turn on bluetooth first an then MirrorLink. But what i meant was that if you don't want to connect to MirrorLink but simply to bluetooth, the unit doesn't fade out e.g. radio or usb-music to play the sounds from the phone. I can only hear bluetooth sounds from the phone in BT-Audio Mode.

At least it doesn't work for me---:rolleyes:

I allready asked Sony about our wishes, but they only replied a standart "We'll pass that for future products..." :eek:

@djwilliams100, Thats strange... maybe there where some contact problems with the frontplate? But I think some type of software bug is more likely...

Same for me, had to re-install it, too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
Ah sorry man, got ya - have to admit, have not had a chance to play with it so much recently (so my experience is mainly with mirrorlink so far) but that does sound like a pain. Seeme like this Smartphone/Headunit integration stuff could work so well if only both sides (Samsung/Sony) put a bit more thought into the respective software.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

Not had that yet but did have the headunit 'crash' once last week (error on the screen and couldn't do anything - reboot fixed it though).

Today though - first time using mirrorlink in the car since installing the Drivelink update and I had big issues with connecting the phone to headunit (constantly getting 'USB Device not recognised'). Took many goes and when I did finally get them linked and tried to access the navigation it killed the mirrorlink connection. Will have to have a bit more of a play when I get some time but right now I'm thinking that the new Drivelink revision might be duff and I willl probably revert back to the first version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirazdindar:
the holy grail

just thought i'd add my experience to the thread...

on the sony XAV-601BT side, I downloaded the firmware from the UK site and flashed it successfully. and have been using it for non-mirrorlink modes without issues (ie. same as before).

on the phone side, i am running CM9 on a samsung galaxy S II Skyrocket, which is a unit inbetween the S II and the S III, spec-wise. grabbed the drive link software as linked elsewhere on XDA, and grabbed the APK of the library which is said to be necessary to install on certain phone. i was able to install mirror link without the use of the library, but Drive Link fails on launch. so i Installed the library & re-tried running Drive Link -- same issue.

so basically i have a head unit that's been properly flashed but no phone to use on it -- yet.

i've scoured the net on this. from reading virtually every post on all the threads i've been able to find (here on xda and elsewhere) on both the xav-601bt and on Drive Link, my impression is that Sony's latest firmware puts the deck at a late beta level, and Samsung's Drive Link is at an early beta level. Honestly I'd be more pissed at Samsung on behalf of SIII owners if it weren't for the fact that they've got this bull**** from Apple to deal with.

anyhow, my overall hope is that an especially talented hacker from xda is able to extract the Mirrorlink protocols from Samsung's already released Drive Link package and release a cross-android package that will mirror any app, ie. mirror without restrictions. that really is the holy grail, and i would imagine there would be a LOT of cred and status for such a dev team. i actually bought both my deck and my phone with this in mind. but it's clear to me we have to take things into our own hands --- the Car Consortium and consequently Mirror Link really are political products trying to bridge phones and cars together in a way that's acceptable to gov't safety regulators. i happen to agree with such regulations for the masses but hackers are a class of their own. so here's hoping....

SsshirazzZ
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre!:
Couldn't have said it better... A hacked and xda-developed MirrorLink would be so much appreciated!

Another idea is the hedunit itself... it seems to base on some kind of an android system clearly, so maybe there are some talented people over here who are able to extract the firmware of the 601BT and make own optimizations!!?

A 601BT custom rom with more functions and settings ... that would be a dream ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwilliams100:
I agree but really cant see it happening though. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirazdindar:
admittedly, building a custom firmware on the sony head unit would be a very large project. if this particular deck sold like those old blue linksys routers, then we'd have the potential for a DD-WRT of the car audio world. but it doesn't and it seems unlikely to me too.

but my suggestion of an unrestricted Mirror Link protocol seems very feasible. The protocol itself *is* fully capable of mirroring anything. The app-level retrictions are coded in after the fact. We just gotta take that part out.

i wish I was an android dev.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwilliams100:
I looked at the build of the apk on the pc a little while ago and was totally lost lol. Maybe I need to do some research and learn the coding....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirazdindar:
so if i was interested in checking this out, i'd start by decompiling the app with APK tool? http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwilliams100:
Yeah thats correct. I dont think i used that tool, i found another one online.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
I also had a crack at looking at the code about a week ago but despite some minor tinkering experience this was beyond me.

Shiraz - you are absolutely correct - an unrestricted Mirror Link protocol is very feasible and we just need someone who knows what they are doing to strip out the restrictions coded into Samsungs app (and add a bloody screen time-out :)).

There are devs here that would figure this out straight away (thinking of the guys who have done VNC Server type apps which allow control of your phone at the PC over USB connectionn, these do pretty much the same mirroring of display/relaying inputs to the phone as the car headunit does. I'd imagine the code would be quite similar and they would recognise what's needed and what's not in the sammy app.

Problem is, I think we will struggle to get a dev interested in spending time on this unless they own a mirrorlink headunit themselves otherwise there is nothing in it for them. So... here is an idea - how about some sort of syndicate donation project?

I'd personally be willing to donate around 20 £/$/€ to a dev to see this working as it would add so much to the headunit - if there were say 5+ people here who would pay something to have this and we could assure a dev of the donation we may be able to get there. Any one interested in trying that route?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre!:
Would donate 10-20€ if we find someone, too!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwilliams100:
