How else would the touch commands be sent from the radio?

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

I've noticed several times I just can't get the appradio 3 to connect to my phone. ARunchained says it's Ready to Connect but the connection fails. Sometimes plugging and unplugging the HDMI cable will get the phone to connect but I usually have to restart the phone.

Also, in the androidmanifest.xml file in arunchained the softkeyboard is set to always hide. Will setting that to always visible fix the problem of always having to disable the hardware keyboard every time the phone restarts?

I also found AK Kernel seems to work quite a bit better than franco kernel when it comes to appradio on the nexus 4. I don't get any restarts like I did with the franco kernel, the battery life is longer, and the whole system is snappier. Double plugging also seems to get me a 100 mah charge rate instead of a 200 mah drain. Plug it in, wait a second, unplug it, wait a second, plug it back in.

I'm also home now. I just sent the donation I pledged. :D

I have this problem as well. Try turning off Bluetooth and have your ar3 off. Open the app and turn on the radio. The app will ask to turn on bluetooth. It usually connects for me doing that.

I will donate when I get home later today. Sorry for the delay. On a side note I can't wait for multi-touch to be supported. That is the only thing that is keeping this from being a perfect app. I can live without the hardware buttons not working. Keep up the great work. Thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
That will be the next thing to work on. Together with the problem of the soft keyboard not being shown sometimes.
[Android General] Area51©:
I think it might help a bit but the real problem is that using the uinput by default assumes the keyboard is hardware. I need to add some configuration files to fix that I think. I reverse engineered some remote control programs and they have that as well.

You don't need the Pioneer one. BUT, the Samsung official MHL adaptor is more reliable than any of the after market ones...from what I've read. I have the official Samsung one, and I've had no problems.

After many hours of tinkering and buying a ****-ton of adapters...the Genuine (be sure to buy directly from Samsung) MHL adapter 2.0 is the best!

Yes, I had a bit of a development break. Had to recover from spending way too much time on it. Also just built a new development PC, old one was getting too slow. I am about to start with the feature you mentioned. Actually some time ago already looked for a suitable place in the decompiled code to add it.

With ARU there's no need to install the Car Keyboard. Just tick the option to not ask again and cancel.

No phone audio over car speakers

HI can anyone help me? I recently ran into a problem where I can't hear the phone audio over my car speakers anymore. I don't know what happen Pandora works all the time but when I receive or place a Bluetooth call I don't get the audio over the car speakers anymore.

I was looking for a setting but can't find anything relevant to my issue.

Thanks

P.S. I'm using a LG G2 (Tmobile) Appradio3+Unchained
[Android General] TEK112:
It sounds like your Bluetooth connection is only set up for Media and not for voice. Unpair and repair the headunit to your phone. Alternatively you can go into the Bluetooth settings on your phone for your radio and check both boxes for voice and media.
[Android General] Plasmah:
Thank you sir... I looked at the settings and both where checked but I unchecked and rechecked to try and reset. I will test in my car when I get a chance and see if that fixed it. Will report back when I do.

As a side note: I recently flashed Energy rom on my LG G2 and that seems to be when the functionality failed. I'm not sure tho that's just a guess.
[Android General] j.brag:
For those of you using an Appradio 3 does the usb port in the back provide enough juice for a positive charge?
[Android General] TEK112:
I'm gonna say no. I have a note 2 and I needed the power hard wired. The same with my galaxy nexus.
[Android General] j.brag:
Well that's quite unfortunate. Looks like I'll be hardwiring one for my N5 too. Thanks!
[Android General] Sean_S:
Sounds like you were already aware of the RF noise issue I was referring to. And you've taken steps to avoid it previously. For me the loss of reception was concurrent with HDMI sync/snow issues.

As for the USB/MirrorLink connection, I have an AR3 which has a couple of USB connections on the back, one for power/ipod, another for MirrorLink.

Also, I was mistaken in my previous post. I DO still get the snow issue/bad signal with the Pioneer adapter. The only one that works for me is the Samsung 1.0 version (black). I picked it up at BB for about $40.

As for the MHL 5/11 pin adapter, I tried 2 different SKUs from Monoprice and got snow and noise with them. Samsung adapter would eliminate the need for the MHL pin adapter.

Hi aru didn't work since i made the kit kat update on my note 3 n9005 so for those who whants to use it did not upgrage

Is there any solution ?

Thanks
[Android General] maxum3300:
My signal loss was instantaneous as soon as I plugged in the mhl connector. If I tried to turn on the gps to use google maps it would instantly cause the screen to go blank. Granted that was using a non samsung 5 to 11 pin adaptor. I got the all share cast dongle yesterday and although the connection is very stable it has quite bit of lag and the audio is poor. Ironically it seems to work ok streaming netflix or youtube videos but watching a program from my genie go app the audio broken up so bad its unbearable. You would think.it would work better with the genie go since the video.is already downloaded to the phone and.it doesnt have to stream anything. Going to.try and find a genuine samsung mhl 2.0 adaptor andkeep my fingers crossed. Im having trouble with mixed mode, I think thats what its called. When you want to listen to a cd or radio station while using app radio. I understand that a double press of the home button is supposed to bring up a mixed mode menu where you can turn mix mode and select what audio source you want. All a double click does for me is take me to the radio home screen then back to appradio mode. Any ideas on that?

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

On the back of my x8500bhs it says the usb outputs are 1.0 amps, but my phone battery depletes as i use appradio. I was really hoping the all share cast dongle was gonna work so I could plug my phone into my cigarette lighter charger that outputs 2 amps.
[Android General] Sean_S:
On AR3 when I'm in app mode I access mix mode by hitting vol+ or vol- to bring up the on screen volume control. At that point there is a mix button on the screen that I can tap to select the source I want to hear audio from.
[Android General] maxum3300:
I'll try that but all I think that will do on mine is raise or lower the volume of appradio mode.
[Android General] ixian:
No, it's only 500mA. At best it'll slow down the drain when in use.
[Android General] cwalkin:
Interesting find...so I plugged just the cigarette lighter charger in my Note 3 to measure what the phone was charging at...and no "please connect original charger message". So I said hmmmm...connected MHL adapter without charger and it worked without fail, over and over again, not "HDMI Connected"..."HDMI Disconnected" issue. So it appears that my power supply(both USB from HU and from cigarette lighter) are causing an issue with the MHL adapter. Do u think that means the MHL is faulty? Or should I still swap out the HDMI cable?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Try a double press of the home button. That is how you enter the screen with mix mode option on the AR2.
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

Have you tried a "fast" charging USB cable, then my guess are that you will be in AC mode and do 1000mA. You can easily make on or buy it.

[Android General] maxum3300:
I tried that. All that does I take me to the home screen then back to app radio mode.
[Android General] low405:
That's how I've done it with my N5 and it charges nicely with an AR2. Specs say 1000mA.
[Android General] Vissionary:

So I called Samsung to advise them that they sent me the wrong MHL Adapter ET-H10FAUWESTE - (UK version and designed for the octa-core phone I9500) even though based on my order confirmation and the box the product came in I ordered ET-H10FAUWESTA - (US version and designed for Quad-core phone). They confirmed that yes they made a mistake, so I'm expecting them to overnight me a replacement free of charge...lol. They want me to send THEIR mistake back and wait 7-10 days for a refund and I have to order another one...smh. After years of using Samsung products (tv's, blu-ray players, phones, and tablets) they have lost a customer. NEVER buying another Samsung product again.

Ok, rant over, but I assume that this could be the reason why my MHL adapter isn't receptive to any of my charges.

If anyone has visibility on their MHL adapter, and it is working can you please check the part number listed on the adapter?
[Android General] ixian:
You mean a 5-pin cable, like the OTG cables? I have one. Will it still charge that fast via a SlimPort adapter though?
[Android General] basmand:
No you cut in the cable and put the green and white cable together. Search on the internet there are a good video. You will not be able to transfer data only power

I found with fast charge enabled and undervolting, location off and using Wi-Fi, I can squeeze out the same charge, if not a little more than just above a wash.
[Android General] Sym_Link:
Yeah, my Bluetooth connects almost instantaneously so 2 seconds was enough for me. You may need to adjust it to fit your needs
[Android General] cwalkin:
When I am able to connect, my phone wont go to landscape unless I open am app on my phone, or it immediately goes to a weird aspect ratio landscape where i can't scroll up or down, just left to right through homescreens
[Android General] ixian:
Kind of...pointless for the context of this discussion then, which was about the best way to charge while using ARU. The question from another user was is the USB port on the AppRadio sufficient and the answer - at least if you want to keep mirroring the screen, which is the point - is, not really, you are better off hardwiring it.

I mean if I just want to charge the phone well I can use the cable with my 2a car charger, and if I want it to charge faster I can use Franco or another kernel and enable it. I don't see the point of making a cable just so the USB port on the AR3 will charge it faster but not allow data. Maybe if you are one of the few who got wireless HDMI to work, I guess?

A couple questions....It looks like i can now connect both with and without BT.

With HDMI Without BT, I get tru Mirroring..whats on my phone is one the HU...but

No GPS signal using Waze. I thought since the AR3 has Waze as an approved app, i didnt need GPS injector?

When I connect WITH HDMI & BT,

audio is better, But my Note 3 screen is in a weird landscape mode where if any app is in the top 2 rows of any page, I cant see them, and cant scroll down...only left to right. And when i open Waze i get some message about opening it on Pioneer compatible device, etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

For all of you using the N5, here is my setup:

App Radio 3

Nexus 5

Slimport adapter analogix

2.1amp car charger

Charge only cable (no data)

My phone charges fine. It reads AC charging in the settings menu. I believe the cable is what is making it charge. Before using a normal usb cable I wasn't getting a charge now I do. I recently took a 8 hr road trip. Phone was at 100% charge at the end of the trip. Hope this helps. Here is the Amazon link for the cable.

BT is used for touch data as well as GPS data. So no BT no GPS.

On Samsung devices the standard app launcher doesn't like landscape mode. So you need to use another one. It was mentioned in this thread many times already.

Waze knows it's in Pioneer mode. I hope you installed the handbrake bypass or else it will not allow you to do some things unless your handbrake is on.

Forgive me if this has been asked a million times over.

I just had a z150BH installed as well as buying an android phone ( HTC One) to be able to use AR Unchained. I am now seeing ( I am trying to get through all of the 200+ pages) that this might not have been the best head unit to get. With that said, will AR Unchained work at all? Are my only limits GPS? Will this be something that is implemented down the line?

Same cble for me. I've got it plugged into the USB from the AR2 and it charges well even when using Waze or other GPS apps.
[Android General] Area51©:
I agree that this thread is huge and it's not easy to find information.

I have one user reporting that it works on the Z150. Basically it will work on any HU that is supported by the stock AppRadio app. There are several users reporting that it works on a HTC One. So your setup is expected to work. The most important limitation that I know of is indeed not being able to use the HU GPS.
[Android General] cwalkin:
Thanks...I have the handbrake bypass installed but I guess that message means it isnt working. I will search this thread for a different app launcher.

Android KitKat

Ok guys, I recently updated my SG4 with KitKat but I can no longer get touch screen on my HU f950DAB. Prior to upgrading I was able to get touchscreen with minor problems but I think that was down to the cabling. When I connect via BT it connects without a problem and then I connect my MHL adapter and I am able to mirror what's on my phone, but when I attempt to open anything via touch screen on the HU nothing happens, I don't even get the little pointy finger that say that's a No No? Also when in mirror mode the screen remains in the same landscape size no matter what screen type I select in the settings? Any ideas appreciated
[Android General] Area51©:
Is your phone still rooted? In 99.9% of the no touch cases there's no proper root access assuming that you have a BT connection set up.
[Android General] sinbrad:
Thanks for the swift response. I did check with a root app and it said my device was rooted. I just went to SuperSU and it said it had to install a binary, so let it do it's thing and I'm hoping that's where the problem was. Will get out to the car and test again.
[Android General] anotherpattern:
Thanks so much for your quick reply. I look forward to the development of this software.

Is it possible to continue using the HU during a phone call. Touches seem to be disabled. I would like to be able to return to waze while on a phone

Galaxy Note 3 "The Beast"
[Android General] Area51©:
It should be possible to use the GPS from the phone however in some cases (with inadequate shielding of the HDMI adapter) the HDMI signal can disturb the GPS signal.

It's very likely that the the GPS data is blocked in the HU. It's simply not sent to the phone, so it can't be used. However I didn't do a test to confirm this yet as I don't have a Z150. It wouldn't be too difficult to add something to the logging of ARU so someone with a Z150 can test this.

4.3 ROM at S3?

hi,

Any one uses 4.3 or even 4.4 ROM at S3 (att) phone that works Ok with ARU?

Which ROM mod to use?

I've used 4.1 as afraid to move to official 4.3 due to BT issues.

Any one with S3 has fast charge and what ROM exists for that matter?

I asked for ROMs that work with ARU as it's required stock based kernel to use HDMI / MHL, while ASOP kernels don't support MHL due to absence of Samsung MHL driver.

Quick question, will the phone utilize the microphone from the head unit, from the phone, or both when connected through HDMI and Bluetooth?
[Android General] ixian:
It works the same way it does with or without AppRadio - the phone connects to the HU using the hands-free BT profile, which means built in mic, speakers, etc. Doesn't matter if you have HDMI connected or not - that's the default behavior if BT is connected to a hands-free profile.
[Android General] cwalkin:
Wow, so much closer to the promised land! Payday is Friday, I will definitely donate!

Waze now working, Car Home Ultra is very nice, with some nice features (only issue I'm having is speedometer is not working, checked all the settings in the app but can't figure out why)

I'm connecting without using Tasker at all as both M.A.S.E or Sym_Link's profiles didn't work for me, so I'm just keeping BT on on my Note 3 at all times.

Now, if I can just figure out why plugging a power source into my Official Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter causes HDMI to disconnect and phone to give me "plug in original charger message". Could it be something with my ROM? I'm running Hyperdrive RLS12. Any ideas on possible cause?
[Android General] nosit1:
