I just found out that my LG G2 (Tmobile) phone's slimport was designed by Analogix. I mention this because a few days ago I ordered the slimport adapter for my phone from Amazon for $29.00 which happens to be made by Analogix. I was wondering if I had got the right adapter... I guess I mad the right choice ;). As soon as I get my radio in the mail which should be on Monday and get it installed I will test ARU with my LG G2 and Slimport connection. I've not read too much about the LG G2 and Appradio 3 so I don't have much to go on. I hope it works because I went out and bought the new phone just for the Appradio 3. Will report back when I get all this hooked up.
[Android General] mikek753:
thanks for the reply.

yes, I got MHL from Samsung and even Samsung tech said it HAS to kill GPS to save battery as it isn't needed for TV

I got ETC-EIA2BEGSTA black with 5-11 tip
[Android General] papa3r:
oh...sorry i think you using 11 pin directly not 5-11 pin converter....

is there 2 part both are ( 5 pin mhl and 5-11pin converter) genuine?

for S3 I recommend use 11 pin genuine samsung I think could be fix your problem...i hope:fingers-crossed:
[Android General] mikek753:
yes, both from the same box

Samsung also removed it from sale this week, only white is there.
[Android General] papa3r:
seems fishy

for S3 I recommend use 11 pin genuine samsung I think could be fix your problem...i hope
[Android General] papa3r:
ANALOGIX have a Good reputation reviews

As long as you got the original, you have good start for your project..:p
[Android General] bodieism:
My GF happens to have a Samsung Galaxy S3 so I connected it to my AR3 to see if I could duplicate your problem. With MHL connected and the screen being mirrored to the HU, I drove a couple miles down the road and GPS functioned perfectly the whole time. It seemed even more accurate than my S4, sadly. I used the official Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter and an aftermarket adapter with the same results. The screen cut in and out a lot on the aftermarket cable, but the GPS signal was always strong with both adapters.

Why do you need the 5 to 11 pin adapter if you ordered your MHL adapter directly from Samsung? They sell an adapter that already has the 11 pin setup. Can you share a link to the two Samsung adapters you purchased? I'm curious to see which ones you have.

I'm not sure what's causing your problem, but the fact that it works fine on my GF's S3 leads me to believe the Samsung Tech you spoke with is an idiot... just like the VZW CSR that told me they were only going to give me half of my unlimited text messages for the month.

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

Perhaps the ROM is the issue? My GF's VZW S3 has stock 4.1.2 VRBMF1. You could try searching through the Hyperdrive thread to see if anyone is experiencing similar issues with that ROM or you could try making a backup of your current setup and then test out a stock rooted ROM to see if it clears up.
[Android General] mikek753:
I got this, but from Samsung com

Samsung discontinued this.

It comes with MHL and 5-11 as a kit
[Android General] Area51©:
I looked at your video's and I understand your problem. Unfortunately it seems your root access is not working 100%.

It's almost impossible for me to find out why that is. A custom rom may work better but I can't give any guarantee.

Let's just ask the people here. About 600 people have downloaded ARU. Is there anybody that got a Sony Xperia Arc S working with ARU?
[Android General] ShurikX RUS:
HDMI problem Sony Arc

OK!

I'm going to flash a custom ROM now

I very much want to have my Sony Arc worked with ARU

Thank you very much for your help!
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
I thought pioneer latest firmware for ar3 is to fix an issue with Sony phones. Maybe that's the issue here?
[Android General] FingerBlastJ:
So i received the 11 pin extension so i can keep the genuine samsung mhl hidden behind the unit. It didnt work for me even though it did for someone else in this forum. But they are sending me out 2 more wires in different lengths to test it out for them. They are a pleasure to deal with so dont fear if you decide to go that route.

Also, this is the first time i took apart the dash myself and plugged the mhl and hdmi cable to the unit and phone.

All i can say is the genuine mhl 2.0 from Samsung is FLAWLESS!!!

Not one hiccup, not one spec of snow, the audio seems better and the gps and overall connectivity doesnt have any issue any more either.

The only problem i did run into is that i have SS installed on the phone and hdmi detect checked/on. It launches car home ultra phone like i instructed it to, but ti doesnt turn off the screen and im still trying to figure out why?????

Im gonna try to uninstall and reinstall SS and see if that works or if it starts to ruin my gps and data signals.

I will keep everyone posted.

P.S. Im on S3 4.1.2 MOAR 5.0.1
[Android General] Area51©:
The fixes are:

- Improved GPS communication when using compatible navigation apps with an iPhone 5

- Adds MirrorLink support for Sony Xperia devices

MirrorLink has nothing to do with AppRadio mode. So it's not going to help solve this problem.
[Android General] mikek753:
I got Pioneer MHL from CD-AH200C and connected via Samsung 11 pin tip, the GPS works as should, but I got black screen / dropout due to flimsy 11 pin tip

I can confirm that ETC-EIA2BEGSTA kills GPS as other people with it got the same issue.

I placed order to monoprice for MHL with 11 pin microUSB connector that is specific to S3/S4

so i am assuming i am rooted :)
[Android General] Area51©:
This free version needs to have SELinux in permissive mode to work. The paid version (called AppRadio unchained Reloaded) works with SELinux in enforcing mode. It also has no calibration issues.
[Android General] nonyhaha:
Thank you for your answer.

I will go home now, check how to make selinux permissive on my z3 compact.

any easy way to do it?

at this time, i do not have the budget for the app, it is 106 lei for me, that is about 25 euro, and I do not have that money for the app. I paid 102 pounds on the radio on an auction.
[Android General] SalmonSalami:
I've got the same issue as nonyhaha and I'm running a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact on 5.1.1. I tried ARU and I had the same symptoms. Touching the screen didn't register a response, but I didn't get the red icon at the top either. After reading your reply, I got ARUR and I still have the same issue.
[Android General] Area51©:
If you run 'Diagnostics' from the menu in ARUR are there any of the top five ones not checked?
[Android General] SalmonSalami:
I can't remember what was in the top 5. I do remember seeing something like System App unticked though. I've since uninstalled the app and got a refund from the Play store. It works fine with my older Xperia ZR running 4.4, so I'm wondering if its something up with the newer Xperia's and their handling of MHL/Bluetooth.

In any case, my Xperia Z5 Compact home screen launcher doesn't handle landscape like my old Xperia ZR did. Even forcing landscape on the homescreen causes me to lose the top and bottom row of icons/widgets in the home screen. It makes it pretty awful to use (through no fault of your excellent app), so I'll probably take out my SPH-DA100 and install my old Alpine CDA-9833.
[Android General] Area51©:
'Installed as system app' is the 6th one and not important for touch. Now that you don't have it anymore there's no way to find out what the issue is.

On Samsung devices it's similar. It can be fixed by installing an alternate launcher app like Nova launcher.
[Android General] JLPDA:
1) [MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION] - I still think you should kill the FREE version and make ARUR a 15-Day FREE TRIAL. This gives users enough time to get their systems up and running without prepaying for the app (I know, 48-hour refund policy). We (that have it working properly!) all know the value of paying for this great app.

2) Thinking about getting the Droid Turbo (NOT the new Droid Turbo 2). Are there any Droid Turbo and Miracast users out there?

3) I switched to Nova launcher and it has solved many AppRadio display issues.

4) For those frustrated with the AR "in call" dialer taking exclusive use of the mirrored AR screen, I've had reasonable success with using Tasker to "Stop" then "Start" ARUR after a call is in progress. This allows for full function of the mirrored screen, while call is in progress, with touch for all apps, including the phone dialer.
[Android General] seburton:
I personally use the miracast feature on my s6 edge without issues.

I think it will be the same for your turbo.

Just take care of the dongle you want to buy. I have the Microsoft wireless display and it's pretty cool.

Are you rooted?
[Android General] JLPDA:
Must be!!! Root is required for ARU or ARUR....FYI, apparently no easy method (yet) to root the Droid Turbo 4.4.4, and none at all for 5.1 .
[Android General] nonyhaha:
Hello Area51,

As of this evening I installed a terminal emulator, I have set selinux to permissive and checked the status by "getenforce" command which replies "permissive".

Touch controls still do not work, so it must be an Issue with our devices.

I am now running android 5.1.1 rooted.

Any Ideas What I should try next?
[Android General] ikerg:
Try the paid app

The app worths the money

I agree with other user that the free app should be removed and give 15days of trial for the paid app.

Once you invest on a Headunit when you were aware of the limitations given by pioneer, and you find that ARUR can break the limitations imposed.... You will never regret on paying.

[Android General] nonyhaha:
I am sorry but you are really speaking without even reading the last 5 posts.

Another user with a z5 compact just tried the paid version and it has the same problem.

So why in the world would i pay 25 euro when I am not sure it will even work on my phone? just to pay the fees for converting the money from lei to Euro and back?

If the beta will be usable, I will take into consideration, of course, paying for the app or at least paying less directly to the developer.

But my budget for this is not kicking me out of the house. As I said in a previous post, I paid 102 pounds on an auction won sph-da100.

on the other hand, if you have any 25 euro spare sitting in your room I would be more than glad to make use of them.
[Android General] ikerg:
That's why I am suggesting 15day trial period in order to confirm that paid app works with your setup. Free aru is more limited to selinux permissive and developer should be more focused on the paying app to solve all the possible scenarios.

The beta is usable or at least was usable when jellybean. Kitkat security patches reduced the usability of free aru on some devices. Lollipop is not supported by free aru....

Paid ARUR is a risk you should consider.... Firstly for the developer support

Enviado desde mi D6603 mediante Tapatalk
[Android General] Area51©:
If it doesn't work with SELinux it's probably something with the /dev/uinput device. The Sony Arc S has a similar issue. Unfortunately the other user who installed the paid version can't remember the results of the diagnostics. The free version doesn't have diagnostics.
[Android General] jshek007:
Hi there. I am using Appradio 3 with ARUnchained reloaded and also a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Everything was working fine until i updated ARUnchained Reloaded tot he latest version. Now it connects to the Appradio Ok and displays ok. But i have lost the controlling my phone from the headunit capability. Any Idea how i can fix this or even revert back to the previous version?
[Android General] Area51©:
When you run 'Diagnostics' from the menu is there any of the top five ones not checked? It might be that you have to go into SuperSU and give Reloaded root access again.
[Android General] nonyhaha:
Is there any way to run a debug with the free version?

I think there is a problem with some phones, as 3 users with different devices mention the same problem.
[Android General] Area51©:
You can make a logcat and see what is reported. If event injection is not possible it will be reported however there's no diagnostics to clearly pinpoint the issue.

Mostly it is because of no proper root access or SELinux not being in permissive mode. In some cases it can be that on that particular model the /dev/uinput device isn't properly implemented. Like on the Sony Arc S. That is something that can't be fixed in the app anyway. Also the free version is not being maintained anymore. If it works then it works. If not you're SOL.
[Android General] jshek007:
Thanks. This sorted it :)

New s6 edge+ problem

hey area

long time using on s3 and s5 since inception of your app.

unfortunately on the s6 edge+ there is no mhl option on this phone.

im not rooted yet but will be once i find a solution to the mhl issue.

is there another way of mirroring the screen on my appradio 3 besides chromecast?

and if i have to use chromecast how do i get it to mirror the screen if the chromecast doesnt have a network to connect to while im driving?

the only other solution i can come up with is to buy the new pioneer HU that has android auto.

please advise
[Android General] 400ixl:
You can use a miracast device. Screenbeam mini appears to be the one that works with Samsung phones.
[Android General] tyketyson:
Hi

I have had an Appradio 3 and (paid for) ARU running for about 6 months and love it.

Just the past week or 2, it has stopped responding (when connected to the phone) to touch from the headunit. Touch still works for the Radio and iPod.

I have a Galaxy S4, rooted, android 5.0.1 AELKernel 4.2, premissive SE.

The top 5 boxes on diags are all ticked, phone bluetooth works ok with the headunit, it connects saying 100% and shows the arrows points left and right as well at the phone/audio one.

I was going to next try unpairing the BT and re-pairing it until I came on here and saw that some others seemed to have had issues.

The only thing I can think of that has changed on my phone is that I have added a fitness tracker wristband that uses BT.

Any ideas what to try next ?

Cheers
[Android General] Area51©:
What status is shown at the app? Does it show 'Connected'? If so do any of the head unit's keys still work?
[Android General] ckessler235:
just wanted to stop in for a quick update..... So last night I updated my firmware on my Galaxy Note 5 to the new COJ5. Than used the Skyhigh Kernel root method and flashed a custom recovery TWRP. I left the phone like that and went tp a bday party today and when I got in my car I got the little notification that ARU reloaded was connected. Usually have a hard time getting it to connect. Well I then hit quick connect to connect to ScreenBeam Mini 2. it connected like always within seconds, but I noticed that this time when It mirrored to the screen my home screen was in landscape mode and was like NOOO WAYYY lol I hurried up and touched to screen of my Appradio 4 and was so stoked that it was fully functional. the keyboard popped up as soon as I hit the youtube app. I had it mirroring the whole time but i just couldnt get the touch screen to be responsive because of the problems I was having with ARU not connecting.. Im so stoked now because I just didnt think this was possible with the Note 5 not having the MHL function any longer. And I also didnt really understand what all the Screenbeam was capable of but obviously it replaces MHL because touch screen is fully functional and very responsive..

just incase some else has or wants to get this setup working.... I have

Appradio 4

Tmobile Note 5 COJ5 FIRMWARE with Skyhigh Kernel ( N5 Not equipped with MHL )

Screenbeam mini 2 from bestbuy

ARUnchained reloaded the paid version in the app store.

Dont need any wifi connection for this setup.
[Android General] tyketyson:
Thanks for the reply.

I tried deleting the BT connection and re-establishing it yesterday. The 2 left/right arrows diappearered when I set it up again so I didn't even bother trying connecting it all back up at the time as I was busy.

Having just read your message, I went out to try it, and it works now!

Refreshing the BT connection must (?) have done it?

I will keep an eye on it and see what happens and be back if it doesn't last!

Thanks for the reply though.

Is your s6 edge rooted? I have a samsung dongle that I want to try.. on appradio.. I am really wanting wireless control so I don't have to plug and unplug.. just like to get in and put it in its spot and forget about it.. any help would be great.. thanks
[Android General] Medic97:
I have been using a Samsung dongle for 3 years now. Worked better on my s6 then my note 3. I used Tasker to automatically connect when it detected bluetooth from the car. Also disabled lock screen and set brightness down. I could keep my phone in my pocket and have it all connect up.
[Android General] colcraig72:
Can I ask a quick question?

Now got a Nexus 5X and the AppRadio 3. I used to have the Nexus 5 and slimport etc and it worked very well.

Now that is not an option with the 5X, can I use a chromecast into the end of the HDMI Cable and run it similarly with the 5X (once I have rooted it and installed ARU and the GPS Injector), or is there anything else I need to do / get ?

I have browsed the thread but can't find a definitive answer.

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes that's possible however a Miracast device is easier to use since a Chromecast always needs an internet connection first before you can connect to it. This can be done via the mobile hotspot of your phone but it means if you are somewhere where there's no data connection on your phone you can't connect. A miracast device doesn't require an internet connection and doesn't require any special setup. Just start casting to the device.

Using a Chromecast:

The trick to use Chromecast without an external network, is to switch on the phone's built in wifi hotspot and use another device to set up the Chromecast to use that as network. This only needs to be done once. From then on just enabling the phone's wifi hotspot allows to use the Chromecast. See description here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62392690&postcount=119

How to connect, see video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De8AzmkUdDc

With the latest version of the Chromecast app there can be an issue that it says it needs a Wifi connection. In that case it helps to install the previous version 1.11.11.

There's also an alpha version of AppRadio Unchained Reloaded that supports automated casting start: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63323763&postcount=1045

To use Miracast on a Nexus device you need to enable it first by editing /system/build.prop and add the following to it:

persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
[Android General] 400ixl:
I'd go miracast. Something like the Microsoft Wireless Dongle or Belkin rather than some cheap one though.
[Android General] stingray240cs:
Thanks for the response Area51. I ended up picking up the Screenbeam mini 2. I was about to root my phone last night until I realized root isn't available for my Verizon S6 since it has the latest build. I'm thinking about getting another phone since I'm guessing ARU (Paid) doesn't get me anywhere without root, right?
[Android General] Area51©:
Currently that is true but I am working on making it work without root. I know it's possible but it's really not simple. It might take quite some time before I can get it done.
[Android General] mikek753:
Does it mean that "Google Android Pay" will not work on device where ARU will and vs wise?

No, personally I'm not Google Wallet / Pay user, as I'm not ready to take those limitations.

at 1st SELinux permissive was blocked by encrypted bootloader

now Google doesn't allow "root"

Area51,

as android developer, are those good for you? Or just make your dev life tough? or even worse, demotivate you to do any android development?
[Android General] Guntert:
Is your phone rooted?

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

It would be awesome if I could go back to using your app... I don't want to root my phone.. anything I can do to helpnwith this process?
[Android General] Area51©:
Only if you are an expert on Android security and native development for Android.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Mixed answers to this at the moment. Some report that as long as you add the cards before rooting, it will work for those cards whilst rooted. That is provided you have not changed anything like the screen DPI.

Others are saying it doesn't work at all. On the Nexus6P for example, you have more chance if you use the new chainfire root method.
[Android General] Medic97:
I was and then I unrooted for Samsung pay. I wish this app will work unrooted so I can revive my $30 investment. Also if course so I can actually touch when I connect to the appradio.

I have a AT&T note 5 and therefore no root or MHL. Is there any other options to get full mirroring?

p.s. any EST on when the ARU no-root version will get completed?
[Android General] 400ixl:
MHL can be replaced with miracast which will do the mirroring. You can't get touch working though.

so i cant use miracast with bluetooth to get touch?

AR4, HTC one m7, GPS dropouts

I am experiencing GPS dropouts in all nav-apps since i upgraded to AR4, with ARU.

Tried different roms, currently on GPE 5.1.

Also tried different GPS-antennas with/without amplification - AR4 says signal is perfect, but apps have intermittent dropouts and sometimes needs a restart to align.

Any ideas? Thanks :)
