I reinstalled aru, paired with hu, and now appradio connects and shows connected in notification area. I connected the cables and appraduo interface launched and I could control phone from hu. But still no audio through HU. I cannot find where to change 'wireless through BT' either on the HU or in appradio. At least appradio is connecting note than only once. So if I can get the audio sorted, I am done
[Android General] Wade-0:
On my 4000NEX the setting is located in the System Settings (icon with wrench and screwdriver) -> Input/Output Settings -> Smartphone Setup menu
[Android General] Area51©:
Still it seems no proper BT connection is being made. On your phone are both Media and Handsfree checked for the BT connection to the AR3?

Note that HFP and A2DP are used for handsfree and audio streaming but that the AppRadio connection requires a SPP BT connection.
[Android General] uberNoobZA:
I don't have the option to change the seeing you listed on my head unit. However, after disconnecting a couple of times and reconnecting, audio now works!!! Not very happy work how it seems unstable. Yes both options (media and phone) under BT settings on phone.
[Android General] Area51©:
What slimport adapter are you using?
[Android General] uberNoobZA:
This one from Amazon. Not sure it's the Slimport adaptor though, as I had the same issue on an Android stick, where mirroring of screen worked, but touch did not work, and audio did not work. But in that case, I was never able to get ARU to connect over bluetooth.
[Android General] JLPDA:
I have very few issues with my AppRadio3 (DA210) and ARU (016), just takes some getting used to navigating around.

The one thing that I can't "work around" easily is the AppRadio Phone Dialer and my Android Phone Dialer. In addition to using the BT handsfree very often, I frequently have a need to use the dialpad (Press "1" For English!!) while a call is active. I can't seem to find an easy way to pull up the dialpad (or add a call, etc.). Can't really minimize the AppRadio Dialer, have to press the X and go to the Android Dialer...but then sound thru BT doesn't work as it's still controlled by the AppRadio.

So, a little frustrated with how best to use the "dialers"!!!

Area51...something to think about with your next beta release of ARUR :confused:
[Android General] stargate125645:
That's pioneer. There is nothing ARUR can change.
[Android General] trucktruck:
I use a nexus 5 stock rooted on an appradio 3, this slimport adapter works great:

I can post a direct link yet.... but i you go to microcenter.com and search slimport it should come up its by cirago.

Anyone have an issue with BT disconnecting randomly, mine seems to, though its getting better. Also any recommendations on a launcher, I use, Nova atm but I find it too much like stock android, smart launcher looks good and launcher 8 has promise.
[Android General] JLPDA:
StarNOT... I've read most of your UNHELPFUL posts, unless you're Area51, don't speculate what can or can't be done.
[Android General] uberNoobZA:
I would have to agree with stargate125645. I replicated the issue with the dialer described above, and it is the Pioneer Head unit interface (which is not controlled by ARU) that does not have an option for dialpad once a call has been initiated / answered. As described, you CAN switch back to AppRadio mirroring and bring up the dialer in Android but you don't hear the BT audio once you close the popup that appears on the head unit when you receive / initiate a call. From the way I understand AppRadio to work, I doubt it can change the actual head unit's intervface itself, so it is up to Pioneer to update their firmware to allow access to dialpad for DTMF during a call.
[Android General] 400ixl:
I use Apex launcher on my Nexus 5. When in Car mode I use the Car Home Ultra application to make it easier to launch apps that I only use in the car.
[Android General] uberNoobZA:
Just thought to add that the issues I reported seem to have stopped. The only difference this time is that I set the Nexus 5 SELinux to permissive mode. Sorry if I skipped documentation that said to ddo that, but from what I read (or understood from what I read) setting SELinux to permissive mode is only required for Samsung devices with KNOX. I'm not saying that chaning SELinux to permissive fixed the issue I had, just that it is the only thing I did dirferently.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Equally, if you have been around and participating as long as some of us you would know what is under the control of the app and what is under the control of the firmware in the head unit.

The dialer pad is under the control of the firmware. The way I have got around some of this is to use an application such as conf call dialer where you can programme in the pauses and codes for a number. Works if it is a consistent sequence and time lapse. You use this and it feeds in the commands directly into the line.

This has previously been confirmed by both Area51 and by Kyle (developer for the original ARL app).

[/COLOR]

SELinux mode is permissive by default on the Nexus 5 OEM ROM. Are you using a custom ROM?
[Android General] uberNoobZA:
I am using stock, rooted ROM. When I loaded SELinuxModeChanger app on my Nexus 5, it showed it was set to Enforcing.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Odd, no one else I know of (of dozens) have needed to touch it. I haven't on any of my devices either. What root method did you use?

Just installed the app to mine and it is showing Permissive. Something non standard happened on your phone if it was enforcing.
[Android General] uberNoobZA:
I used the Unified Android Toolkit to unlock bootloader and root.

So are you saying that ALL Android devices need to have SELinux set to permissive for ARU and ARUGPS to work (and not just Samsung KNOX devices)?
[Android General] miatawnt2b:
Can anyone give me some advice? I am about to buy an appradio3 model SPH-DA210 to connect to my galaxy s3. Do I need the CDAH200C unit to display/control the phone or do I just need an MHL cable with the micro/USB/HDMI ends?

Thanks!

[Android General] tech by trade:
Nope, Sony Xperia line. One click towel root, install ARU and you are good to go. I dont think towel root is working on the Z3 yet though.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

You need and 11 pin MHL adapter for the CDAH200C or you can get yourself an 11pin Samsung MHL cable.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yes, but only Samsung have put it into enforced mode unless you are using the Android L preview. So no change is needed for anything other than Samsung phones as they are permissive by default.

You have used a different root method to most. Most people I know use the Wugfresh toolkit on the Nexus 5 which has proven to work well.

Thinking of trading my Sg4 for an HTC M8.

Can anyone confirm a M8 with MHL can actually maintain battery power or maybe even charge while running nav or streaming music?

[Android General] leobg:
The only one that consistently works for me and charges the phone, not just maintaining charge is the original Pioneer MHL adapter from the new (cheaper - $59) kit. I have tried with simultaneous Google maps nav using internal GPS and Google play music streaming off LTE, phone charges consistently at a rate of 1% per 2-3 min. I'm running CM ROM with my M8 (HDMI out is not scaled down as on stock ROM and fills up screen to the edges).
[Android General] tsitalon1:
Thank you!

This has now cemented my decision to switch phones!
[Android General] tsitalon1:
Just purchased an M8 and waiting for it to arrive, I want to get the same Pioneer connectivity kit you ahve but I see two versions and want to clarify which one you have.

I see a CD-AH200 and CD-AH200c.

Looks like the CD-AH200c has been discontinued but may be available somewhere...which one do you have?
[Android General] stargate125645:
If my post is unhelpful, it is because I am responding to someone who asks a question that has been asked already numerous times, answered already numerous times, or could have been figured out by reading the instruction manual. With that said, there was nothing rude in my post to you so why your underwear is in a bunch I do not know. I stated a fact; sorry if you don't like it but that's the way it is. If you truly understood the pop-up screen dialer is part of the head unit firmware, then you wouldn't have asked if Area51 could do anything with it. He can't, so that's what I stated. Additional touch tone interaction is not possible through the head unit.

Stock dialers have pause features that you can use, but you have to know what will need to be pressed in advance and store it. This is common functionality on many dialers. Beyond that, there is nothing you can do but touch the phone itself. This functionality should be common knowledge, so I didn't restate it for you. If that's what you wanted me to do, then sorry.

Do you have a fast charge kernel? I was under the impression the data connection limits charge rates unless you have a fast charge kernel, and the m8 only uses MHL 1.0 according to the customer service people at HTC, which is 500mA. I know some ROMs come with a packaged kernel, but I'm not sure which CM you use, etc.
[Android General] leobg:
The new one is the former. CD-AH200C (C stands for charger) includes a charging unit too, but it is 1.5A only as far as I know. I bought the CD-AH200 - it is the one I'm currently using. Can be found for around $50 in the States. Check eBay, etc.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

No - I use default CyanogenMod kernel. I don't think it is fast charge enabled. It is important what USB cable and what charging source is used. If phone senses it is a data port, it won't AC charge, but will rather limit charging current to 500mA (USB mode). If data buses of the USB port are shorted (If i remember right!) cable is recognized as charge only and phone would switch to AC charging mode regardless what port you plug it in. Of course this prort must supply enough power.

I, particularly, am using a hardwired 3A DC-DC usb adapter (cheap off eBay). Phone says "AC charging". However saying AC charging doesn't mean it will do. Before - with various MHL adapters off ebay and so, it would say AC charge, but will not charge or at best will hold whatever charge it has. Pioneer one is the only one so far (out of 3-4 adapters I tried) that charges the phone consistently during use.
[Android General] tsitalon1:
Thank you again, I will get the CD-AH200 as well.

Yep I've been down this road before with chargers and cables. My current setup with the SG4 achieves 2a charging.

I'll let you know if I run into any difficulties, thank you again!!

As a side note, I will miss the wireless charging of the SG4 at night...
[Android General] leobg:
You're welcome!

Here is a pic of my charging history - it is a bit cramped, but it shows when phone was connected to the appradio (both charging and screen-on) and what rate it added charge at. On both occasions I was using Google Maps Nav.
[Android General] smoki3:
Hi, Area51

I finaly bought an MK809III.

I rooted it and installed ARU Reloaded successful. The screen calibration was a problem at the first time but now it worked!

Great.

I use Sygic Navigation. This the only one which i get running. But it looks great.

But is there a possibility to sync the clock with gps? Or do you always have the mk809iii running even the car is powered off?
[Android General] stargate125645:
That has to have fast charge enabled by default if you are exceeding the 500mA allotment. It doesn't make sense otherwise. The power source and cable do matter regardless, yes. I don't know this for sure, but if I had to fathom a guess I would say the phone will say "USB" if it senses the ground in the connected cable rather than a power pin ("AC"), and would do this regardless of whether the power source would supply more than what a standard computer USB port supplies. This would explain what you've said you've experienced with what the phone is telling you and what it's actually charging.
[Android General] Area51©:
I looked into using the GPS time but unfortunately the HU doesn't seem to send it to the phone/android stick. From the reverse engineered code I found that the GPS time is not retrieved from the GPS message that is received. There's some more data in the GPS message but without code actually using it, it's anyone's guess what it is.

If you use your phone as a hotspot I think the Android stick will get the time from the internet somehow.

[Android General] mmcneil:
Hi everyone. I'm trying to make a decision on whether or not to use Miracast or ChromeCast and I had some questions:

1. Is it true that I can't use custom ROM's and kernels with Miracast?

2. Can I use the AppRadio 3 to control my phone the same way I would if I used MHL? (will the touch screen features of the HU still work?)

3. Do I have to have a second phone or wifi hotspot to use Chromecast?

Thanks in advance.

[Android General] leobg:
Cyanogen does not tweak the kernel for fast charge for sure. I use default CM kernel, so phone is not tweaked for fast charging. The fact is I get it charged while in active use hooked to the AppRadio via the Pioneer MHL adapter is simply a fact. Specification of any of the MHL adapters, including Pioneer one, does not indicate how much current they can pass thru the charging port. As far as I remember MHL 1.0 standard calls for 4.5W which is 900mA. I guess (and it can't be other way) Pioneer one does manage to pass thru enough to charge the phone while in active use (navigation+music streaming is quite of a task). I use standard USB data cable between my DC-DC 3A USB buck converter and the MHL adapter. Phone says "Charging (AC)" when connected.

Edit: I have attached another screenshot - continuation of the one from my previous post - the last charging cycle was my commute back to home today which took around 1 hour. I have gained good 20% or so charge
[Android General] tsitalon1:
Am I correct in assuming you gained 20% in an hour while actively using the phone during the commute (nav / music / etc)?
[Android General] leobg:
You got that right!
[Android General] MTMTE:
1. The only ROMs that would Miracast from my Samsung Galaxy S5 where ones that used the stock kernel. Once I used a custom kernel the Miracast dongles would never successfully connect . I tried 3 Miracast dongles (Netgear, Samsung, I/O Gear). I think its a DRM thing, so thank the RIAA.

2. This should be just an easy 'yes', but again w/ Samsung devices there is something about seLinux needing to be set to permissive. However, kernels for the my Galaxy S5 that switched seLinux to permissive would then (coincidentally?) break screen mirroring. If seLinux is set to restricted the calibration screen touches work via ARU, when Smartphone setup is set to "others" and "HDMI", but after the calibration touches stop working.

3. All you need is a wifi hotspot for the Chromecast to connect to. You can setup the hotspot on your phone, then with that same phone mirror your screen. For your 1st setup of the Chromecast device you might want to use your home network. Then switch it to the hotspot after its done updates. When I tried using Chromecast w/ a 8000nex it would connect, but it just show the top left part of my phone's screen. Might be specific to the 8000nex.
[Android General] mmcneil:
Thanks for your input on this. It was very helpful. In my haste to post my question, I forgot to mention that I'll be using this with the One Plus One phone. With that said, will Chromecast allow me to use custom ROM's and kernels? Thanks again.

I don't have the hand brake bypass installed. When I start my car and the brake is down and I drive off, AR3 does not connect.

Is this normal behavior or should it still connect? If I get the bypass, will my issue go away and not have to wait for connection to start driving?

GPS disable on X950BH

Setup:

ATT Galaxy S4 Rooted Stock 4.2.2

Pioneer DEH-X950BH

Samsung MHL adapter

I know that the X950 does not send GPS location to the phone.

My issue is with using the phones internal GPS.

My current process is:

Connect phone to Bluetooth.

Start Waze (or Google Maps) with GPS lock on phone.

Connect MHL.

Open AppRadio mode on the headunit.

Calibrate screen.

This is when ARU or the headunit disables the internal GPS.

Disconnect HML.

Get new GPS lock on phone.

Connect MHL.

Now it does not recalibrate the screen and the phone is using the internal GPS.

This process works %100 of the time.

Is there a way to stop ARU from disabling the internal GPS that requires me to disconnect/reconnect the MHL?
[Android General] stargate125645:
Relax. I never said it was untrue. MHL 1.0 standard is 500mA, as I stated. Exceptionally low power use is required to charge with that little amperage. Something is not as it seems, but if it works then awesome.
[Android General] Area51©:
I assume you didn't install the GPS Injector as it makes no sense.

In that case ARU behave as the stock Pioneer app. It will try to send the GPS data to an app via the Pioneer SDK even though no GPS data is actually received from the HU. Waze has built in SDK so that won't work. However Gmaps doesn't have built in Pioneer SDk so that just should work using the built in phone GPS.
[Android General] AliMusa:
Does AppRadio work with ANY android phone? Or are there phones that don't work with it?
[Android General] gdseven:
Correct, I did not install GPS Injector.

I can try GMaps again but the last time I used it, it acted the same as Waze.

Is there a way to keep the app from trying to send any GPS data to the apps? Could that be an option within ARU?

Does the ARU Reloaded work around the issue of non-AppRadio headunits not sending GPS data to the phone?
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes it could, by changing the SDK key authentication function. Then ARU will deny any Pioneer approved app to have access and all apps behave like ARU is not installed so Waze will use the internal GPS. However it requires work and I am focussing on getting Reloaded released.

Yes. All GPS data is injected via Mock locations. If Mock locations isn't switched on (in the developer options) then nothing will be injected. Reloaded can switch Mock locations when it's converted to a system app. Some people claimed it was even able to switch Mock locations when it wasn't a system app. So now there's even an option to not try to switch Mock locations.
[Android General] Area51©:
It doesn't work with every phone. It's better to ask however if it works for a specific phone. Obviously we didn't try it with every phone available.
[Android General] AliMusa:
Well the reason I asked for any Android phone is to know if it was reliant on the OS or not and if it'd work for future phones like the new Nexus 6 of the Z3.
[Android General] 400ixl:
The rumoured Nexus 6 will run Android L. This has SELinux enforced, so once that is able to be put in permissive mode then it should in theory work provided the phone has HDMI out (no reason it shouldn't). Haven't had time just recently to look at the SELinux permission status in L but people like Chainfire were looking at the best way, even if it could be granted on a per app basis in SuperSU.

You will need to wait to see what the future holds as L is not finalised yet.
[Android General] leobg:
I am relaxed, no worries :). MHL specs appear to be not open to the public, but if we can trust Wikipedia MHL 1.0 calls for 900mA (4.5W). MHL 3 (the latest iteration which nobody seems to use yet?) is supposed to bring that up to 2A (10W). Certainly more than 500mA are passing thru as pone not only does not charge in USB mode, but loses charge quite rapidly - a percent per 1-2 minutes, I have tried that.

Interestingly, if phone isn't pushing signal using MHL(or SlimPort for corresponding phones), but just connected to power, USB mode (500mA) is enough for it to charge and being in active use (navigation + streaming music). I guess the encoding that goes on is quite power consuming process. If I get some extra free time, I'll try to see how does USB charging cope with phones with native HDMI out (such as the Droid 4 I have laying around in my desk drawer)

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

What is worse is Nexus 6 will likely lack HDMI out (judging from Moto X, Moto X (2014) not having one). For Android L we may find work around, but if lacking the hardware support - we're SOL. I have one plus one - all is great about this phone except that it lacks HDMI out of any sort (neither MHL nor SlimPort). The wireless solutions all pretty much suck in the car...
[Android General] Funran:
So I have App Radio Unchained working pretty well on my AppRadio 3 SPHDA210, but I have enough random bugs that I'm frustrated.

When I dock my phone after starting my car my phone may or may not launch the mirroring function, this drives me crazy. Basically to get it to work I have to unplug it, turn off bluetooth, turn it back on, and dock it again. Usually starts up mirroring right away.

Then 1/10 times when it does dock correctly the sound will either not play at all, or play from the phone. SUPER frustrating. Minor bugs, that are all fixed by undocking the phone, docking it again, or resetting bluetooth.

I guess my point is these are things id rather not be messing with, specifically while driving.

I've tried different apps that automatically connect to bluetooth based on bluetooth profiles, and nothing has seemed to fix my issue.

Anyways, does anyone have any recommendations on how to fix any of these issues, or perhaps a better way to handle launching the appradio when I dock the phone? Something that might not cause issues?

Some people use a tasker process to always shutdown and restart Bluetooth and then the ARU app to improve connections.
