This might be appradio firmware dependant. I wouldn't put much hope in shortening the connection time. I guess new app will take same amount of time to connect as current pioneer app.
[Android General] lysaer:
Is it giving you the finger?
[Android General] Kaczman:
Nope. The red finger is not there. It acts as if it is communicating properly, but no touch commands register.

Need help connecting Verizon LG G2 to AppRadio3

I have a stock 4.4.2 Verizon LG G2 that I cannot get connect to AppRadio3. I do not know what I am doing wrong. I am very new to this so it could be something really stupid.

I have HMDI cable(3d capable; purchased at Staples) and power cable (Pioneer CD MU 200) connected to slimport adapter (Tgomtech) going into phone. If I connect the phone it charges. I can connect with Bluetooth and play music/phone without issue if the phone is unplugged or if I bypass the slimport and HMDI and plug just into the Pioneer cable .

When I try to mirror link, I have turned on the radio then turn on Bluetooth and make it discoverable (and also the reverse order) then turn on ARU version 2.4.16, and Bluetooth connection turns off. Then I cannot get the Bluetooth to turn back on unless I turn off the car. Once I turn off/on the car the Bluetooth is back connected. The radio never recognizes the phone.

I have tried reversing the order; ARU then Bluetooth.

I have stopped ARU using task manger but it just comes back stating it has been granted super user permissions; which I think is normal. I have toggled the Bluetooth, power off and restart phone (this does not get Bluetooth connection back).

My understanding of everything I have read is that the Bluetooth needs to remain on while connected to the radio via slimport. Am I right?

I have Miracast on. Should Bluetooth tethering be on?

What should the USB connection be set to? I have tried all the options....

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

Thank you
[Android General] Area51©:
Does the following work for you?:

- Switch off Bluetooth on the phone

- Connect phone to HDMI adapter

- Hit apps icon after it turns green

- The "Confirm that the AppRadio App is installed" screen is shown

- Now switch on Bluetooth on the phone

- The connection % counter starts counting & connection is made
[Android General] Area51©:
Bluetooth communication is ok then. You have to find a way to disable Knox and put SELinux in permissive mode.
[Android General] Area51©:
One thing, did you pair Bluetooth for phone and HU?

It seems you did. However I don't get why you set things to discoverable. It seems you are pairing again after switching to app mode. There's no need to do that. You pair only once. When you can then play music via Bluetooth and use handsfree with your phone it's fine. After that you should make sure the App icon lights up (means valid HDMI input is detected). Hit it and it should connect (it's making a SPP Bluetooth connection now). So when switching to Apps it's kind of switching the Bluetooth connection in another mode.
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
Well, I updated my firmware and Rob to the latest, (4.4.3 and rev 53 franco;) to no avail.

However. if I connect Bluetooth and click the Bluetooth icon on the HU - Bluetooth connects. I can then go into App mode - and I get audio.
[Android General] Area51©:
Ok, that's something. What HU do you have? There was an issue with AR2 that after update to 8.30 there was no sound anymore. In other cases it may help to upgrade the firmware if you are not on the latest version yet.
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
I've got the Appradio 2. The firmware version if I remember correctly, is 8.05? Or something similar.

I'm fairly sure this is software related, and not hardware - I'll try a different kernel / rom combination.

Would you like my logs?
[Android General] Area51©:
It won't show much. Only one thing to check would be to see that you do not get Bluetooth disconnect/connects.
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
Ahh okay, no matter then. This issue is bizarre, and i'm quite stumped. May I ask what device and rom / kernel combinations you're using?
[Android General] Area51©:
I am using a Nexus 4 with stock rooted 4.4.2. Also have a MK908 HDMI stick with 4.4.2. Then I have an AR2 and an AR3. There's no problem with sound working on either of those.

BTW, the MK908's Bluetooth sucks. It had really slow communication so that touch would be delayed for seconds and sometimes it used to work well. It wasn't till recently I realised that it's because the range is really bad. As long as it's within 30cm (1 foot) it works well, if more it becomes really slow. Another one of those issues that you don't expect as normally Bluetooth has a range of several meters.
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
I take it you're using the stock kernel? If so, i'll try that instead of Franco (if it proves to be the kernel, i'll get in touch with the dev.)

About the MK908 - How do you keep it permanently powered so as to not have to power on when ignition is on? I'm presuming you'll need a permalive 12v feed?

Anyway, i'll let you know what I found out and if I rectify the issue. Don't suppose you need any alpha testers for new revisions?

Cheers,

Josh
[Android General] Kaczman:
It was my understanding that using a custom rom (Project Infinity) that knox was disabled and SELinux was already permissive. Is there any way to check one, or either?

Is there anyone that has actually gotten the S5 to work with app radio 2?
[Android General] Area51©:
In a terminal type:

su

getenforce

Not sure about knox, maybe you can see if any is running, in a terminal type:

ps

and see if any process with knox in the name is running

At the thread it also says "Issues with root?"

Did you check you have root access?
[Android General] Kaczman:
getenforce shows enforcing. I tried downloading SELinux Mode Changer, but clicking "permissive" literally does nothing.

no processes shwoing "knox" are running.

I think I need to find a way to disable SELinux on S5.
[Android General] Area51©:
For the exposed framework there's the wanam module, can you use that or doesn't it work for the S5?
[Android General] Kaczman:
I have Xposed and wanam installed and active. I have disable knox and disable SEandroid checked, but I dont think they work on S5s.

My next step is going to be to try to flash a new Kernal with SEAndroid set to permissive by default. This sucks, as it isnt meant for T-Mobile roms, but I dont think I have another choice.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

Ok, that did it. I flashed AEL kernel which had SELinux set to permissive. Now AR Unchained works flawlessly again.

From my understanding, you CANNOT change samsung devices from enforcing to permissive short of flashing an entirely new kernel. Keep this in mind when S5 users says touch commands are not working.
[Android General] JonandRoid:
So everything is working fine on my Verizon s4 on Hyperdrive RLS16. The thing i cant figure out is the size of my touchwiz launcher. I cant re-scale it. Nova launcher works fine but i really like my touchwiz theme. Also when playing any game on the head unit it cuts it off...any way to help with this issue. Otherwise everything is working great.

Another thing i would appreciate the developer or other users looking into is the screen standby app on the playstore. When using it on my s4 the screen turns off but then my phone reboots. This app would be very useful to those with hot phones and saving battery when trying to charge with the mhl. Thanks.
[Android General] 400ixl:
I used Franco Kernel on my N4 and do also on my N5 and have no issues.
[Android General] derrickmd18:
Ok i have a question. I have a note3 and also a s3. I just brought a pioneer appradio3 and I want to use it for pandora, waze, and media player from my phone. I was looking at information online and it says I need a mhl adapter just to use pandora. Is this true? If so would the avh-x3600bhs be a better option for me and would that need a mhl adapter for that too to use pandora, and waze and play mp3 from my phone?

Problems since android update

Hi and thanks for the brilliant app it was working amazingly, however think it may have an issue, since updating android on stock nexus 5 to 4.4.3 the other day phone connects to headunit and phone display is displayed correctly on the ar headunit, however no touch input is working from the screen, i tried opening the ar app from the handset but that causes an app crash.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any Ideas on fix.
[Android General] Area51©:
After OTA update you need to reroot.
[Android General] cartisdm:
Hey Area51 - with the new app do you know if you'll be able to use the Android phone app instead of the integrated phone app from the headunit? When screen mirroring and taking/dialing a call, the second overlaying app is a giant pain!
[Android General] Area51©:
That would involve changing the HU firmware, so changing only the app can't fix that.
[Android General] cartisdm:
Shucks. That thing is annoying as hell

Need help connecting Verizon LG G2 to AppRadio3

Thank you so much for this insight. I replaced the HDMI cable and the App icon lit up!!! Phone and radio connected. Thank you.

Now I initially get the App icon with Bluetooth lit up showing communication. A second or two later it changes to gray out Bluetooth icon with a red x. If I click on the App icon I get a screen stating "Confirm that the Appradio App is installed on your device and confirm Bluetooth connection when you start AppRadio Mode." There is a choice to go to Setting or Ignore.

If I go to settings I see the Verizon Phone there. I have also seen a screen stating No Compatible Device. If I choose Ignore I get a long screen stating that car needs to have brake on and it gives instructions about turning on/off the parking brake. The ok button on the bottom of that screen is grayed out so I can't proceed past that point. I think this is an issue with the bypass I put in, and I will have to play with that.

Thank you for all of your help. I feel like I have made real progress today. Any suggestions of why the icon goes from showing Bluetooth communication for a few seconds and then graying out? Any other suggestions?

Thank you so much for your time.

Has anyone had problems since updating to 4.4.3 every things working for me but I'm getting no sound through I'm on the latest PA ROM

Edit:- found the problem titanium didn't restore the media player plug in :(
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
What revision of Franco are you using for your N5?

This issue's still prevalent - I'm 100% certain it's software and not hardware.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Currently on Kernel version #53

The Version of Franco Kernel Updater v11.4.1

Just looked back at your post, I am not running ART as it has far too many issues at the moment and the benefits don't outweigh them.
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
Interesting, I'm running exactly the same combination.

I switched to Dalvik last night - however I haven't had chance to test currently. I'm not holding my breath though.
[Android General] 400ixl:
My experience in messing with ART is you can't just switch back and everything being well.

I had to re-flash a clean build to get rid of the bugs.
[Android General] sshams95:
So, my goal has been to find a secondary source to use ARU with the NEX8000 that can better handle the power generated leading to better battery time and less overheating. I have HTC One M8 as just a bluetooth phone connection and Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 as the SPP connection. By using the Tab, battery drain won't be as bad as using my HTC. So far, it's working great...no overheating and battery drain is minimal. But the screen output leaves a lot to be desired and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to solve this. I'm thinking I need to get a 7" tablet that will display better...but was hoping to see some feedback on what I can do with this tablet.
[Android General] Area51©:
Didn't you get your HDMI stick working?
[Android General] sshams95:
No. I had a hard time trying to root the Mk809iv
[Android General] Area51©:
I have a MK908 (very similar to MK809) with 4.4.2 and got it rooted. Existing root things didn't work so I had to get put some things together myself. Only thing is, I did that months ago so I kind forgot already how I did it. Also switched to a new PC. Let me see if I can still find it.

Ok, found it again and sent a PM with details.
[Android General] mdelleman:
Just thought i'd list out my setup in case it may help anyone out there.

Nexus 5 running 4.4.2 with Franco Kernel

SlimPort adapter -

https://www.dx.com/p/cy-mh-040-slim...-g-pro-qh582-asus-padfone-231675#.U5sbAfldXeo

HDMI Cable - http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024008&p_id=3871&seq=1&format=2

Charger - https://www.dx.com/p/car-cigarette-powered-dual-usb-adapter-charger-for-ipod-dc-12-24v-48029

I know the SlimPort adapter is a cheapy but it works GREAT! I found if I used a HDMI cable without the ferrite cores I had no luck at all so take that for what it is. I may run into problems down the road with the SlimPort adapter but for now no issues.

I have enabled fast charge with Franco but still only seems to charge as USB. Will spend some time on that today. Either way with my phone dimmed/screen off I seem to only lose a percent or two every 30 minutes.

I use Tasker (HDMI Plugged) to make sure Bluetooth is on, disable GPS, disable WiFi and launch Screen Standy, I don't seem to have much luck with Screen Standy. Works sporadically and most of the time just dims the screen. Any ideas out there? I have read Nexus 5 has issues with SS.

Now that I have done the initial setup when I get into my truck I plug in the phone, start the truck up and as soon as everything connects it boots me right into the app mode. Works great! I have found the only way for me to get back to the headunit firmware is to run ARU app then hit the menu button on the deck twice. This the same for everyone?

I keep ARU running all the time in the background as it is annoying going in and force stopping it each time I get out of my truck. Should I keep it running? Should I find a way for tasker to kill it? Any suggestions for that?

Thanks again Area51 for the awesome app!!
[Android General] sshams95:
Thanks. I couldn't get both of my PCs to recognize the device.
[Android General] Area51©:
Well, I had problems with that as well. The trick is that you need to connect the OTG port to your PC and don't connect the power adapter to the stick. Should be powered from your PC only. Then you need the correct ADB drivers. I hope I sent the right ones.
[Android General] sshams95:
Thank you. Got your PM and will try tonight
[Android General] kmckmc:
SS didnt work for my Nexus5 either, so I used Lux to lower brightness instead.

The first time AR boots up and connect to the phone, AR seems to not register the first AR hardware button press. So I also have to press any button twice to do what I intend to do. After that, it registers button presses with single click.

There is a Tasker plugin called TaskKill.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Screen Standby is working fine on my Nexus 5 with 4.4.3

I leave ARU running in the background without any issues. To keep using task killers only leads to instability in many cases.
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
Still facing the issue - Restarting always fixes until my HU reboots
[Android General] mnunes:
I pulled the trigger last weekend and thought I'd update you all now that I've had this installed for almost a week. I'm running an HTC One M8 (stock, rooted) with Pioneer AVH-4000NEX. First of all, GREAT APP! Thanks for all the hard work that went into it, and all of the information in this thread from all involved.

I picked up the Micro Bypass from Amazon (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A9AQPUU) to deal with the in-motion restrictions. Works perfectly.

I've had absolutely no problems related to the orientation of the phone while using navigation apps. I've used Waze, Google Maps, and SigAlert without problems.

FM tuner starts up within about 10 seconds. Getting the App portion to work has been a bit of hit-or-miss (more below). Switching between modes is quick and pretty seamless.

I run Rotation Locker to force the phone into landscape mode and haven't had any problems with it.

I have a Tasker profile setup to detect the HDMI (MHL) connection and enable Rotation Locker to set landscape mode. Since my phone has a pin passcode setup (for work), the Tasker task also uses Secure Settings to remove the pin. For some reason, I've had hit-or-miss luck getting AppRadio to recognize my Bluetooth connection (radio sees it fine but Apps gives me the finger). Cycling Bluetooth off/on on the phone seems to get it working consistently so I have tasker do that, too. On HDMI disconnect, Tasker has Rotation Locker return to auto mode and re-enables the security pin.

Problems that I still seem to have:

1 - I don't have a way to get the screen backlight to turn off, which means that it's always on and the phone gets pretty warm. I tried Screen Standby but with my HTC One M8 it turns the screen off and I can't get it to turn back on. :(

2 - intermittent Bluetooth problems (above)

3 - calls made from App mode while the radio is on are connected but there is no audio. Calls made through the radio mode work properly.
[Android General] Noob_I'm_Not:
I have the M8 also, but I'm able to use Screen Standby. The first time I ran it, I couldn't get the screen to come back on. After rebooting, I went into the settings. Check that only the Zero Darkness method is checked. Occasionally, I have to hit the power button 3-4 times to get the screen to come back on, but it always does.

Hope this helps...

Hello,

first of i would like too Thank Area51 for this great APP, makes most of the Handling with this combination a lot easyer.

But now i must ask a Question to Everybody out there that might could help me.

I searched some hours the complete Thread and read hundreds of Posting, but didnt find the sollution for my Problem.

I tries to connect my Samsung S2 to a AVIC-F60 Radio.

So far, everything is working the APP is Conecting to the Radio, Display shows the Mirrored Handy Display and the touch is send to the S2.

My main Problem is the Screen showing on the Radio, there qould not be used the complete Screen, i have 20-30% of the Screen Black.

Is used the Screen Setup for the Android connection, all yellow Lines are where my Resolution should be, but the Screen is still so small.

If i use only the HDMI Input and set it up to zoom, boom there is Full Screen from the Handy showing.

But in APP Mode, no way.

What do i do wrong.

Thanks for every Tipp i could get.

Best Regards, Marko

Landscape Size Adjustment

I have a Galaxy S5 and everything is working...even the touch(installed a different Kernel that changed it to permissive mode)! Except the resolution needs to be adjusted. It look like the landscape mode is chopped off at the bottom when looking at apps and icons. How do I fix this?

Thanks!

Chris
[Android General] mnunes:
With only Zero Brightness selected, nothing happens when I tap the Turn off button. I do see that it's attempting the operation and is granted root access but the screen doesn't dim at all. I've turned off automatic screen brightness in case that was interfering with it. To get it to do anything I have to check the "Persistent blank frame" box but when I do that it seems the touchscreen stops responding and I have to press the power button to get it to turn back on, which it does.

The real test case will be to have Tasker send the screen off intent (com.nkahoang.screenstandby.action.ENABLE) and resume screen operation with the screen on intent (com.nkahoang.screenstandby.action.DISABLE) but with the UI itself not working I'm not optimistic about Tasker being able to do it.

UPDATE: I think I figured this out. Although I had installed Screen Standby and set it up, I hadn't installed BusyBox which apparently is needed but isn't called out in the instructions for Screen Standby. With Busybox installed, Screen Standby seems to be working to turn the screen off and back on again through my Tasker profie.

Note 3 and AVH 4000NEX

I can't seem to get my Note 3 to connect to the stereo unit (AVH 4000NEX). Everything is plugged in where it should be, USB sticks work..external HDD works..but phone nope! Yes the MTP is enabled. When plugged in the phone goes into MTP mode and when I use the MHL adapter the phone detects that it's plugged into an HDMI source. On the stereo unit the HDMI option is unavailable so I can't mirror my screen, and the USB option either says "incompatible USB" or "Format Reading, Do not remove USB." and just stays like that. I am rooted obviously since I have ARU. I'm using Criskelo ROM V10 4.4.2. I'm going to try using an older 4.3 ROM to see if that works. Anyone else have this problem or know how I can fix this? I have a parking brake bypass so I know it's not that...tested video on USB/HDD/DVD all works. Just not my phone :( which is WHY I bought the damn thing. Help please if you can!

UPDATE. I tried my sisters S4 and the mirror worked. No idea why the Note 3 isn't. I tried an older 4.3 ROM from Criskelo my phone detects the USB but pops up with a message saying that it doesn't recognize the software and should be updated with Kies.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Other than the S4 would be on an OEM ROM and you are using a custom one. Try an OEM ROM first of all, many custom ROMs have issues with HDMI on Samsung devices.
[Android General] AKM03:
Hey! Haha nice to see you on this forum too! To get the OEM ROM I have to unroot and install stock? Then reroot again to use ARU? I've looked on the net for OEM ROMs but all seem to unroot through odin.
[Android General] AKM03:
So going back to pure stock and unroot didn't work. I'm ready to pull the unit it and toss it lol....so frustrating dunno what else to do to make it detect. I have the official samsung USB and adapters...not sure what else.
[Android General] MonkeyTime:
are you using a USB or MHL cable?

Sent from my Hyperdriven S4!
[Android General] AKM03:
Yeah I'm using the official Samsung MHL adapter, the black one not the white one. I also tried USB connection that doesn't work either. When USB plugged in my phone says the device need kies to transfer files and to view them.

Which is weird.
[Android General] MonkeyTime:
Not the adapter, the cable. What are you using? I'm not sure, but don't think you can use a USB cord.

After seeing a post here that Screen Standby works for a fellow Nexus 5 user, I though to try the app after I abandoned it after my Nexus 4. To my surprise, the current version works. My N5 is stock 4.3.3 running Play Store BusyBox. Screen Standby is set to all default settings with HDMI detect, One Two Dim set to 35 second delay so my Tasker profile runs through to full mirror connection. I am not saying that Screen Standby works for all N5s. Even the app's XDA thread has various N5 user experiences.
[Android General] evillela2001:
I saw the same post as well so I thought I would give it a try too. It kind of works for me. It shuts the screen off but as soon as I interact with the radio screen, the phone screen turns back on then it never shuts off again. [emoji53]

That's an odd one, the soft buttons work fine for me. And not seen anyone else report just those not working.
