As mentioned, advanced Appmode is only for the iPhone on this head unit, not Android. Android just uses MTP for music playback via the head unit.

Unfortunately you have to read the detailed description very closely as Pioneer have made it difficult to work out what has what at times. There are going to be a few customers who are less than happy with their purchases unless Pioneer makes its wording clearer and consistent.

tasker profile

can you send me your tasker profile you are using.

i have an N4 with kit kat and appradio 3 as well... so should work.

thx!
[Android General] 400ixl:
Not quite sure I am getting what you mean here, maybe because of my setup. Is it a case when connecting up you are getting ARU launched and have to manually exit out? If so, there is an option in the app to stop that. Select simple mode in the settings.

I have also used the Xposed framework to fix the car mode option so that mine automatically fires up Car Home Ultra when connected and changes the home button to always go back to this whilst connected.

I am working on the N5 KitKat right side not reachable problem.

Can anyone with a N5 post the contents of the file /data/data/jp.pioneer.mbg.appradio.AppRadioLauncher/shared_prefs/DeviceScreenInfo.xml ?

I am close to making a fix.

Thanks.
[Android General] lpasq:
these setting are pretty much what others here use. don't set the "kill app: play music" task. i set it because if i turn car off with Google Music on, then restart car, the music won't play through car otherwise. a bug i'm not chasing so my fix is to always have Google Music killed when HDMI turned off when car turned off.
[Android General] lpasq:
which file?
[Android General] Area51©:

But it might not be there, that's also a result.

I am in the process of trying to set all this up for the first time. Is there a reason why you set it to wait in between tasks or is that just a preference?

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

I set it up but I still see the appradio logo in the status bar.
[Android General] lpasq:
Tasker settings wait-delay times are the result of fellow member and lead beta tester m.a s e. suggesting them. I find the timing syncs well the various HU firmware start functions to my phone doing its HDMI and then BT "handshakes."

The ARU app will always appear as notification unless going to ARU settings and selecting option to not show icon. Even when it is a background process when not in use, it pulls no battery drain to speak of. It is no big deal.
[Android General] nycqns983:

[Android General] Area51©:
Thanks for that info too. I was looking specifically for the DeviceScreenInfo.xml file. It is optionally created by the AppRadio app. The AppRadio app has a curious way of performing calibration. Actually it doesn't seem to really do calibration but tries to read some settings from a file called DeviceInfo.xml. It copies those setting to DeviceScreenInfo.xml when found. For N5 it doesn't find settings and so no DeviceScreenInfo.xml is created. Just wanted to be sure.

Just purchased the GPS Injector app from the Play Store. Thanks to [MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION] and all of the testers for making this! Really awesome work. And I am saying this before even trying it :)
[Android General] 400ixl:
I can see the reason why you kill the Google music app if it is causing an issue (will have a play with it as I don't recall it being an issue for me), but why kill the app and turn off bluetooth?

Is it a battery saving thing, as I can't see a need for it on the Nexus 4?

I leave the app running all the time, use Screen Standby to switch off the screen on HDMI detect and Xposed framework to switch on the car mode which will launch Car Home Ultra instead of the Apex Launcher I usually use.

Are people with the Nexus 4 having issues with it needing bluetooth reset to connect?
[Android General] lpasq:
What I had as an issue with the N4 and now the N5, several ROMs, both ARL and ARU, AR2 and AR3, both Pandora and Play Music, is this: When shutting down car while music app broadcasting, leaving phone connected and stored in console, later restarting car, after sync, restart music app, and music only plays through phone.

The task to kill music app either before or after BT off probably doesn't matter. The bug I described above still happens. More testing scenarios is needed it seems. The audio is carried through HDMI when mirroring. Correct? To clear the bug for music through speakers when mirroring requires phone reboot. If not forgetting to kill music app before before killing ignition, my next restart and use of music app works.

As for N5 battery life...I have no battery conservation mindset yet because the device pulls like double the mA from the same setup my N4 was plugged into. That configuration is in my AppRadio Forum signature. Even with map navigation and music it pulls as much as +500mA. I reach and stay 100% charged all drive. The only time I see a negative draw is when driving in poor cell areas and device hunts for LTE. Otherwise, battery life with stock kernel is average but it is a bigger battery than my N4 and I have charging plates everywhere I rest phone.

I was having crap time with ScreenStandby lately so I stopped using it. I run Xposed framework too. It has kept me from my flashaholism binging and still appreciating stock KitKat with Apex Launcher and several Xposed modules and giving me most of the custom ROM features I chase anyway.
[Android General] sparkz:
Hi,

Tried it again today and still no go. The strange thing is, (maybe linked), when it is converted to a sys app, the name changes to mars.are51.gpsinjector or something similar.............. (can't quite remember the full name)

When I change it back to user app it becomes Arunchained GPS injector again, could this be the issue??

Cheers, Shane
[Android General] snorr:
THX ... will test this... :)
[Android General] Area51©:
It's probably an issue with Titanium backup.

Release notes of 6.1.0 contains:

Fixed issue with “convert to system app” feature on Android 4.2+ (some converted apps failed to work).

Current version is 6.1.4.3. Maybe you are using an older version.

If you could use google, there's some other ways to convert an app to a system app as well.
[Android General] Polskaforever:
Hi,

I am using HTC ONE rooted with 4.3 JB ROM. Appradio unchained connects and works fine for the most part.

I am having a minor issue where when playing music audio through mhl adaptor/hdmi after a while my phone disconnects from HU randomly. It will restart and connect again and or it wont and the screen will turn fuzzy (black and white dots) (snow effect?)

I have Beatsaudio turned off and in HU and phone BT settings I have audio through BT unchecked (turned off).

Help please??
[Android General] texbuck:
Have you hooked up your phone to a tv? It sounds more like an mhl issue. They do sometimes crap out.:(
[Android General] ph34r007:
What cable?!

What cable(s) do I need to purchase to get this working? I've sifted through so many pages of this thread and it still isn't clear. Do I need just an HDMI cable, or an MHL cable? Do I need the Pioneer mirrorlink cable? Do I need the Android Kit that Pioneer sells? Links are appreciated, thanks for your help! :laugh:
[Android General] TEK112:
Depending on the type of phone you have you either need a mini HDMI connector or an MHL connector or an MHL connector that is powered. Again, it all depends on the type of phone you have. If you go on to the pioneer website and download the instruction manual it will show you the different types of setups available and the cable / adapters you will need. Just remember to pay close attention to the MHL adapter if you have a Samsung device, 5 pin vs 11 pin.
[Android General] evillela2001:
So I was having snow issue as well I bought this cable from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001F37I06/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit

No more snow issues since. I have a nexus 5 with the slimport adapter. Not sure if they work the same but for the price of the cable it might be worth a shot for you.

Edit

Use this with the mhl adapter you currently have. It seems appradio is very sensitive to noise on the hdmi connection. Good luck.
[Android General] ph34r007:
Thanks for the quick replies, I greatly appreciate that. I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, so it looks like I need the to follow the unpowered MHL setup. Is AppRadio expecting 11 pin MHL? I know the Gnexus is 5 pins, but I don't see anything in the AppRadio documentation.

[MENTION=5423139]evillela2001[/MENTION], I've seen a few complaints regarding white snow, do you happen to know if this is caused by the HDMI cable, the MHL adapter, or both?
[Android General] turtleoftime:
Some say its caused by the cable, others by the adapter, others... by really crappy cellphone signal... I haven't encountered any of low cell service issue at all.
[Android General] evillela2001:
I used to have a galaxy s3. When I had snow with that phone it was because of the mhl adapter. Then I bought this adapter.

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA

If you get this which you should, make sure you buy it from the Samsung website (link). There's a lot of counterfeits on amazon.

Then when I switched to the nexus 5 it was the hdmi cable causing the issues. Once I switched it out to the one here, no more issues.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F37I06/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If I was you, I would get both just to be sure. That way you have both possible problems taken care of from the start. Good luck.
[Android General] stealth0915:
I have a HTC One w/ 4.3 and I will sometimes get the "snow" screen too. I think it's a connector problem w/ the phone. If I wiggle the microUSB part of the MHL cable I can usually get it to connect again. I think connection isn't too strong and the bumps/vibrations from driving causes it to lose signal. I find that if I put the phone upside down in my cupholder the signal doesn't drop out as much as my preferred location in a little slot above the headunit.

What MHL adapter are you using? I got mine from Monoprice.
[Android General] Area51©:
Last night I made a fix for the Nexus 5 right side not reachable issue and tested it.

This fix should also solve the issue that for tablets the menubar at the bottom can't be reached.

I will test that tablet fix tonight and if that goes well make a new release.
[Android General] CodeNinja:
Must say, this is awesome.

Completed a trip from Florida to Michigan, then back, over Thanksgiving. Got to use my AppRadio3 and S2 Skyrocket the entire way! There were only a few issues, which appear to occur when the radio was turned off and then back on with the phone connected (such as stopping for gas). Simply disconnecting the phone before turning off the engine, then reconnecting it after the radio restarted, seemed to solve the problem (or restarting the phone, which also fixed it). Never had a single problem of dropped connection, snow screen, or the like.

I do kind of wish that long-pressing the 'home' button on the radio would function like long-pressing home on the phone, but that's a minor thing and I'm not even sure that's something you'd have control over anyway.

Now if I can only get the USB fast-charge working... :(

Awesome work!
[Android General] sparkz:
Right,

Uninstalled, reinstalled, re system app'd. Still changes the name, but I nipped out before and it seemed to work, but with one issue. When I exit the hdmi & everything shuts down correctly, it leaves "Use mock locations" ticked and I have to go in and manually do it.

I know this may not be the right forum, but I thought I would add it to tasker, but I cannot see that anywhere.

Has anyone done this, or should the GPS Injector do this, but mine isn't.

Cheers, Shane
[Android General] Area51©:
The GPS Injector should also disable mock locations. It should enable mock locations when the service is started and disable mock locations when the service is stopped. Start seems to work. Stopping can be checked as following: Go to GPS Injector app. Press stop button there. Disable mock locations. Press Start in GPS injector. Verify mock locations is enabled. Press Stop in Injector. Check whether mock locations is disabled. If not it's a bug. Note that mock locations will only be disabled when it was not enabled at service start time.

If that works then there's another issue. GPS service will be started when bt connects and stop when it disconnects. If you use tasker to kill ARU it might be that ARU doesn't have time to stop the service and thus mock lopcations won't be disabled.
[Android General] Area51©:
New version

Beta version 5 available: arunchained0.15.apk

This should fix right part of the screen not reachable on Nexus 5 issue and provide more accurate touch in general.

I tested with a Nexus 4 and for that it works.

Can somebody with a Nexus 5 test this and report back?

Remove previous install first and then install this new version.

Thanks.

Just tested it. Works perfectly. Nice work. You are the man.
[Android General] hoops129:
My ARU connection has been giving me fits lately. Sometimes, it'll connect within seconds after a bluetooth connection is established with the HU (blue symbol next to the phone icon in the upper right corner of the HU screen). And sometimes it'll take 10 minutes. I think what I've found is that the GPS Injector is what prevents in from establishing a connection with ARU because when I don't get a connection I will open ARUnchained GPS Injector and see "Starting Service". But when I do get a connectoin, I'll see the counter incrementing. Is this a GPS reception problem from the HU? Does ARU wait until the injector starts before it establishes a connection?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
its the other way around, AGU GPS is subjected to ARU i beleive.

do u have a lot of contacts?
[Android General] hoops129:
Hmm. I'd say I probably have around 100-150 contacts. But the fact that it sometimes connects within seconds tells me that it's not the issue. In fact, sometimes it never connects. I'll try unplugging my phone and reconnecting, but it still won't connect (nor will the GPS injector service be running). Is the MHL connection required for ARU connection? Because sometimes, I'll even see the pink circle appear in my notification bar before I plugin my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Nexus (tuna) on Verizon network (toro) w/ Google Android 4.2.2 (stock ROM).

my phone lags so much, sometimes it even becomes unresponsive ... the only way to deal with it is to wait kill all apps (if any) then again i could can only have one app running and it'd already become unresponsive( apps could be as simple as : chrome, gmail, hangouts, search.

i'm really lost and not sure how to figure out what app is doing that to my phone and how to address it in order to prevent it from future, i restart my phone into "safe mode", my phone starts flying (then again no apps at this point).

so my question is:

how would one find a "rogue" app? all of my apps were downloaded through google play store and majority of them are very popular apps, so I can't really blame any.

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
Flash 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannerdemon:
Hi:

Hoping that somebody can help me here.

I recently bought a brand new Alpine Head unit for my car. It's a CDE-W235BT. I also have the Samsung GT-i9000 phone.

Pairing them couldn't be easier, and I can pair, download the phonebook and find numbers on the Alpine unit without any problems.

The problem is that when I make a call, the caller cannot hear me, although I can hear them very clearly.

Likewise, if somebody calls me, I can pick up the call, hear the caller, but again....they can't hear me.

This is very frustrating. It's the last problem I expected to have with a good make like Alpine.

Only one thing MAY be a clue. I will have to remove the unit again to do it, and I don't want to have to do that unless it will make it work, because it is a cow to remove (along with 3/4 of the dashboard. But if I've got to do it.......grrrr.

With the Alpine unit, I was supplied with a small clip on microphone. I haven't used it. This plugs into the REAR of the headset. That's why it wasn't installed, because (wrongly) I assumed that it would plug into the front Aux socket........my mistake...and if this is the problem, then I'll just have to rip it out again.

I had assumed that this microphone was to enable me to make voice commands to the unit to find numbers by speech amongst other things. The Alpine instructions are really poor.

Do you think....if I connect the Mic, it will enable me to reply to calls.........

Really grateful for ANY suggestions or replies.

Thanks in anticipation.

Is this related to the S4 or the S4 Active 'cause they're two very different devices with respect to the screens (AMOLED vs LCD, respectively).

Still not much can be done from a forum perspective; it sounds like a hardware issue to me based on the description - the display (whichever version) could just have up and died. :(
