I understand your skepticism in regards to this but just to clarify so there is no confusion. I am on an ATT S4 with stock rom JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3, and stock kernel 3.4.0-812098. The only thing that is not stock is the fact that I rooted my phone. I know it seems strange but I have tested multiple times with different situations. I have looked at the battery manager after using screen standby to see if there is a difference and when not using screen standby with the same results.

I am going to take some screen shots to show the difference in the charging. Just an FYI I did start with the MHL 2.0 adapter first but due to some inconsistent connection issues. I originally thought I had gotten a faulty adapter and was going to return it to Samsung but needed a solution for during my down time, so I ordered the 5 to 11 pin adapter from android central and after switching out for the that with the pioneer MHL found that no matter what the settings (screen standby on or off) it would show charging on the phone but when you go into the battery manager you would see charging but it is labeled as USB and on the graph there is a visible decline even though it is supposedly "charging"( most of the time depending on what's running there is barely enough of a current pass through to just maintain the battery level instead of charging). Same tests with the Samsung mhl 2.0 and show charging as AC and the graph does show an increase to the battery life.

My thought is that possibly the Pioneer MHL is only passing the 500mA which is why it is showing as USB. Also i wonder if that 5 to 11 pin adapter uses any actual power and that could contribute to the power drain (i don't know just a thought) while the Samsung MHL 2.0 is passing a higher current closer to the 2A due to the fact that it is configured differently. This is the question i have for the group does anyone out there have the Official Samsung MHL 1.0 adapter (the black one) and the 5 to 11 pin adapter that could possibly test this and see if the MHL 1 vs the pioneer mhl with 5 to 11 pin adapter produces the same results. if it doesn't then it leads me to believe that it may have something to do with the construction of the new mhl 2.0 (one of the reasons i got it over the 1.0 was the fact that with the S4 it would work no matter if it had power plugged into the adapter or not and the 1.0 did not support that feature.)

Once i have Screenshots i will post and feel free to throw in your thoughts.

Strangest thing happens....

I uninstalled ARU and installed official appradio app to see if the right side of the unit not responding to touch was related to ARU.

The only touch response i received from the unit with official app was when in the app mode screen of the app.

But sliding down the notification on the right panel did not work.

But when i downloaded the app, it showed the official app in app drawer.

When i went to uninstall the app with fast uninstaller, the only app listed was ARU.

When i uninstalled "ARU", the official app radio was uninstalled.

Reinstalled ARU, but still something wrong with right side of unit, any ideas?
[Android General] Plasmah:
Hi Area51... I tried that and I don't get an option for other. I think it's just the LG G2 because I tried Pioneers App and still don't work.
[Android General] Area51©:
If you have an AppRadio 3 you have that. On the HU main screen swipe to the left, click on settings. On top there's a setting called "App Connection Settings". Make sure it's set to "Others". You can only set it when bt is not connected. It's by default set to Iphone and Android won't work unless you change it to others.
[Android General] bodieism:
Exactly. When you connect your 1 A charger to your MHL adapter your phone still recognizes it's MHL and the kernel limits the current to approx. 500 mA. It doesn't matter that the charger is cable of outputting more because the software is limiting it. Unless you have a freak of nature phone like the other guy that shows AC charging when MHL is connected you can be sure you're only receiving approx. 500 mA.

Your phone may very well show AC charging when connected to your MHL adapter, but this is not the norm for the majority of users. Posts like these will only end up confusing more people in the long run than anything else. I have the white MHL 2.0 adapter and I have the older 11 pin black one that you speak of as well. Both ordered directly from Samsung. Neither of them are able to provide more than 500 mA without altering the software on my phone. Also regardless of the cable or power source I connect to it, it always shows USB and not AC charging under the battery menu. This is normal for the majority of users. I would just consider yourself lucky and be happy that you apparently don’t need a fast charge capable kernel, but if you continue to tell people that they only need to get the white MHL 2.0 cable in order to receive more than 500 mA then a lot of people are going to end up really annoyed with you.
[Android General] Plasmah:
Oh cool thanks! I could not figure out why I was not getting that damn option. I'll try a report back.

OK you where correct! I turned Bluetooth off and now I got the option /OTHER/. I did not test my phone with it yet but will in the morning. I think it may work now. Hoping so.

Thanks again
[Android General] pvtolson:
Ok I think things are getting a little turned around. Firstly not trying to annoy, upset, or lead anyone in the wrong direction. All I am doing is relaying my observations in regards to battery drain while using ARU and Appradio. Secondly just so I am not confusing anyone on which black adapter I am speaking of, I am referencing the 5 to 11 pin Tip adapter in conjunction with the Pioneer MHL adapter that comes in the CD-AH200C. I am attaching screenshots and pictures not to start fights or arguments just for clarification and if it is my phone being crazy trying to find out why.

Sorry if I offended anyone, Just trying to be an active member of this community and pass along info that I have found that I believe might help others with Appradio.

BTW [MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION] I love ARU keep up the great work.
[Android General] bodieism:
No offense taken. Actually, after some more testing, I think you may be on to something. I am able to replicate getting AC charging when connected at home to my old 11 pin black MHL adapter from Samsung. Don't use it much on my TV anymore so never really payed attention to it. It's odd though because I can't replicate this in my car. I have a 2 amp charger hardwired to my car's battery and it still shows USB when I plug in my MHL adapter. What's even stranger is that if I unplug that charger from the MHL adapter and plug it directly into my phone it once again shows AC charging:confused: WTF? Normally I would have expected that since the kernel for most phones with MHL do that, but since it shows AC charging at home it's throwing me for a loop. Haha, I knew someone was going to end up confused from all this information :laugh:

I'm going to see if I can get the white one to show AC charging when I connect it to my TV. I would have just used the HDMI cable I had in place, but it's connected to my receiver and the new MHL 2.0 adapters makes you connect them directly to the TV... so F'in annoying. I'm also going to try connecting the black one in my car since I now know for a fact that it shows AC charging at home.
[Android General] bodieism:
I would bet that even with it showing "AC charging" while connected to MHL that it will still only get 900 mA at most. I could be wrong, but the only way to really know %100 would be to measure with an ammeter. Of course, if you get the chance you could try turning on the phones GPS and using it for directions while also not activating Screen Standby (maybe also have music and other apps running). I'd be fairly confident that you were receiving more than 900 mA if you were able to still gain a charge under those circumstances.
[Android General] Area51©:
Clearly a case of RTFM ;)
[Android General] FingerBlastJ:
Just an update, i had to factory reset my phone unrelated to ARU and that fixed my right screen issue, spread the word if anyone else has this issue.
[Android General] Plasmah:
Lol yea RTFM. The last thing anyone ever does. Like getting lost and stopping to ask for directions.
[Android General] monkeydrufy:
tuned :good:
[Android General] quinting:
OK, just to clarify what I am using, as it seems to be a little different. I have NO Pioneer adaptors - just bought the vanilla deck, with no optional cables, and then bought Samsung's official MHL adaptor (v2). I have a 6' Redmere HDMI cable that connects the deck to the Samsung adaptor. I then wired up a power invertor (after trying some USB chargers), and connected an AC charger to it. My phone charges *most* of the time. (albeit slowly - about 1%every 5 or 7 minutes) There is the occassional time that I notice a very slow battery drain, and while I haven't narrowed it down completely, I think that it is only if I use Waze...which is weird, because when I use Waze, I turn the phone's GPS off. If I use Co-pilot, then the phone will charge - but at the moment, I need the phone's GPS running for that to work, which to me should then use more power...

IDK, but I'm happy that my phone charges :)

Hope this helps anyone else in their experiences.

What happened

Hello,

Been using ARU since first beta and have upgraded along the way to beta3. never any issues except user errors. I was messing around with trying to customize my bluetooth connection to the HU and screwed things up. phone connects to HU for phone calls and audio streaming but not AR stream. I have since factory reset my phone, Note II, and cleared bluetooth memory from HU, upon first connection it works fine, once disconnected and I try to reconnect at a later time it does not connect. my initial bluetooth connection just for phone/streaming music doesnt even auto connect. I have to open phone settings and bluetooth settings then click on the appradio to manually connect. once that is connected it still wont reconnect with ARU. question is: how the hell do I factory reset the HU? I get to settings/factory reset, it gives the warining but I can not select "OK" on "CANCEL" is selectable. thanks for any help in this. and yes, phone is rooted.
[Android General] bodieism:
While that doesn't confirm my suspicions it does make it seem very likely. You are probably only getting 900 mA even when it shows AC charging while connected to MHL... unless the AC charger you are using is only like 1000 mA. That would make it hard to tell... how many amps is your charger rated for? I know the charger that comes with the S4 is rated at 2 amps. If it is limited to 900 mA you might try looking for a fast charge kernel that allows you to go higher than that. Then you'd never have to worry about battery loss even when you had everything running on your phone. The kernel I used on my Note 2 had an option to crank up fast charging up to 1500 mA. I wish I would never have got this S4 and just stuck with the Note 2 :(

I also didn't buy any of the Pioneer cables. I have tested the white MHL 2.0 cable on my TV and was able to get it to show AC charging as well, but the white 2.0 adapter in my car doesn't :confused: Haven't got around to testing the older black one in my car yet though. I don't think it's going to work. If it doesn't then I would think it has to be the charger that I use... which will be odd since it shows "AC charging" when plugged directly into the S4.
[Android General] rs2k:
The charging issue nearly drove me insane. I've tried SEVERAL ROM and kernels and settings on my Nexus 4 over the last few months I finally went ahead and got a wireless miracast adapter. This was the answer I was looking for. My phone now charges at 500 MAh with GPS, torque OBDII logger, internet and an audio book playing with the CPU set to full throttle. This is really to route to go. The phone just can't handle kicking out an HDMI signal while charging. There is a slight lag between a touch event and the screen (maybe 1/4 of a second), but It's similar to using an older android phone that isn't snappy and is far easier to live with than a dead or overheated battery. :D

I just need to figure out how to get tasker to auto connect to the adapter and I'll be very happy with this setup.

Does anyone know a way I can find out what command I need to run to get the miracast to connect by command line? Maybe doing a logcat while connecting manually?

My goal is to keep my phone in my pocket on short trips and yet still have it mirror automatically when I turn on the car and drive down the road. I can use the charger on longer trips. I know this is possible. :D
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Which muracast adapter are u using? I used ptv3k but the lag was way too much for me that I returned it. A few posts back we gave a string for tasker for a possible fix for auto connect with tasker
[Android General] rs2k:
I'm using the ptv3k. I might try another adapter later, but for now it works well. The string in the post you mentioned is for the allshare dongle which I believe only works for Samsung phones. I have a Nexus 4. I'd like to know how someone found out what command to use? I want to find the equivalent command to use on my phone.
[Android General] bodieism:
I assume you mean 500 mA and not 500 milliampere hours? mAh is usually used to express battery capacity. If you are using miracast you shouldn't be limited to 500 mA since you aren't going through MHL, as long as you have the right charger. With GPS on and gaining a charge I'd says it's a sure bet you are getting more than 500 mA.

The phone can probably handle it (well not stock if that's what you mean), it's just that the kernel restricts it on most phones... I raised the fast charging limit to 1.5A on my Note 2 and was able to gain a charge with GPS, music, WIFI, and several other power hungry features while mirroring to my HU.

If I read it correctly it looks like someone figured out how to auto start display mirroring on the N4 in this post. You could try PMing him to see.
[Android General] rs2k:
Yes, 500 - 600 mA is what I'm charging at according to my battery widget. I wasn't thinking when I typed in mAh, I'm been talking to people about LiFePO4 batteries and my fingers were probably on auto pilot. ;) The battery is definitely going up at a good clip, but I have not broken out my ammeter to verify the rate.

I have a strong suspicion my N4's battery is dying. I intend to check its capacity with one of my battery charger/balancer/conditioners sometime in the near future. I'm wondering what kind of effect a bad battery would have on the charge rate. I'd imagine it would make the widget think it's charging at a higher rate than it really is, but I don't know.

I sent a PM to the person who created the post. Thanks for finding that! I did a lot of looking for the answer without much luck last night.

How did you raise the charge rate on your N2?
[Android General] jhanson:
I fixed the issues with the apk for anyone who was wanting to try this.
[Android General] FingerBlastJ:
Tasker is 1 way to go, or you can download automate it pro. I have my phone set up so when i get in my car, the phone automatically connects to bluetooth and that triggers automate it to open car home ultra and tunein radio. And when i leave my car and disconnect from HU bluetooth, i command it to kill both tunein and car home ultra. Automate it can pretty much do anything you need it to do, give it a shot.
[Android General] rs2k:
Well, I guess I won't have to worry about the battery on the N4 right now. I just bought an N5. :D

LG G2 Appradio3 Works with ARU!

Big thanks to Area51 for the help. Got my Appradio 3 working with my LG G2 and ARU!

Sometimes the touch screen is a little off with certain apps I run. but I know ARU is still in development and have no complaints. Love it!

In case anyone wants to know I'm using the Analogix SP1003 slimport adapter from Amazon. Works perfect paid $30.00 for it.

Progress on GPS

I made some progress on getting the HU GPS working. I have a very preliminary version that I will test/debug this weekend.

If that goes well I expect to make a release available after the next weekend.

It will then be possible to get the HU GPS data injected on system level using mock locations.

This should enable any program to use the HU GPS.
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

Will this new release support HDMI stick like ARU011??

Best Regards

Basmand:laugh:
[Android General] Area51©:
After that release I will work on making the InvertXY option work correctly so that you can use it with a HDMI stick as well.

Area, we waiting for stick version with HU GPS! Thanks a lot!!1
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

I am using the ARU011 stick version, that support HU GPS if you use "Waze" GPS application

Basmand
[Android General] RipZZ:
I know. I also use 011 version (on MK809iii) and Waze with HU GPS. Waiting for application-wide GPS (Navitel, Yandex Maps waiting... :)
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

Yes that will be nice, and especially if Home bottom on HU began to work like in ARU013 on smart phone!!

Basmand

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Hi

Just one question, have you made a power solution, so the stick don't power down every time you stop your car?, I have noted that you need to do touch screen calibration every day if you use Waze!!

Basmand
[Android General] RipZZ:
I use 12v -> 5v DC-DC, connected to yellow wire of HU (always powered). Stick consumes 100-170 mA/h of power. Not too much. Boot-up from ACC to display launcher on HU - 25 seconds, not bad. I have Waze calibration issue every time when I start Waze. Annoying :(
[Android General] bodieism:
I used AndreiLux's Perseus kernel
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

I am not very good to technic, how have you connect yellow wire to Stick USB??

Basmand
[Android General] RipZZ:
I use DC-DC converter (like http://www.ebay.com/itm/KIS3R33S-7V-24V-to-5V-3A-synchronous-rectification-DC-DC-step-down-power-module-/140882344379?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20cd3df9bb). Converter connected to yellow and black wires of HU. Stick is powered by this DC-DC converter.

[Android General] pvtolson:
Ok so I have a little update on the whole mhl charging situation.

So I have tried various battery monitors to track charging and they all seem pretty consistent.

On the Pioneer Mhl included with the CD-AH200C and the usb cord plugged from power inverter included in that set as well to the pioneer mhl with the samsung 5 to 11 pin tip adapter while charging it is only showing about 300mA charge ( thus more than likely classifying it USB which all the monitors report it as aswell as the one built into touchwiz)

On the Samsung Mhl 2.0 adapter and the usb cord plugged from power inverter included in the CD-AH200C to the Samsung mhl 2.0 the monitors are showing a 700mA charge (which I guess classifies it AC)

On battery alone no charge it shows at about 467mA on the battery

All tests preformed on radio not wifi, while also running google play music streaming.

Any thoughts? Why is there such a drop in voltage using pioneer mhl with tip adapter vs mhl 2.0 when pioneer themselves recomend getting the tip adapter on their website.
[Android General] stewbuntu:
probably something to do with set back pins in the end of the cord as well like with other charging issues ac/usb . Also I did read at one point in time Samsung made the 2.0 adapter to fix the charging issue as well as others.

I have not see any snow (the same as the your old TV looked like when you disconnected the cable) since I switched to pioneer cables/adapter kit with only the Samsung 5-11 pin connector. Do you have any snow with the 2.0 adapter? With the note 2 battery charging is not an issue even after driving for an hour. I never charged it before running everything, so now with mhl charge and screen standby I'm better off than before and rarely have less than 1/3rd battery at the end of the day. Just get an extended battery
[Android General] johnboy693:
First of all great job with this, this beta works 100% for me, the only issue I've had is sometimes I have to restart my phone to get it to connect. However that's rare, and its very stable for me.

In regards to the MHL 2.0 adapter ya'll have been talking about. That's what I'm using and haven't had any issues with snow or anything. One issue some people may have if thy do have snow using this adapter is either bad quality HDMI cable, OR a cramp in the line. If you're using your run of the mill 6 foot HDMI from behind your TV you may have a crimp in it somewhere, and that can cause snow.

Charging is OK, I definatly can't run WAZE, and Pandora and it keep charging up. Mind you it discharges slowely, but when I take a 14 hour car drive, it may or may not charge up. Depends on the day. If I'm doing all that and plugged into my cigarette lighter then I charge fine.

Keep up the good work, this thing is amazing.
[Android General] BIGSIKE3:
I just switched over to Unchained from ARLiberator as it doesn't look like he's supporting the AR2 anymore the radio the app was made for. Anyway Unchained is working great with my VZW Note 3, connects almost every time and the dev is on the right track with this being only beta. So far I'm very excited about this app and looks to be our go to going forward. :)

Edit: totally forgot to mention I look forward to donating upon the official release.
[Android General] djjerrymcgee:
I havent had to "force close" ARU as of yet, the last few times I've attempted to connect it has worked fine. I'll keep updated if something happens.

I've noticed now though that, when it makes the SPP connection the Adaptive Screen Rotation auto enables to landscape, up until today it always waited until I attached the mhl cable to enter in to landscape mode. no big deal, but sometimes I don't always attach the mhl adapter when I'm in the car.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
This app will never go"official"on the appstore. Why not donating now? 95% of the people commenting here already did. He certainly deserve it:) all we miss is mock locations and he said he will implement ff and rewind upon next release. This is the only app supported with ar3:) I donated and as many of us :)
[Android General] BIGSIKE3:
Oh I know it won't get to the appstore, just meant a stable release. Today is the first I've used it and will definitely donate on my next rounds just payed three separate donations on my Note 3 yesterday and today. I'll gather up a few more dollars here soon cuz this one definitely desearves it!
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
:) u won't be disappointed bro..... I took the chance on buying the ar3 only due to this app and man oh man was it worth it! PS u DEF don't need to explain to anyone why u can't donate now :) I was joking :) regardless we are all here to help u if u need anything :) who needs ARL n its 35$ now:)
