Just switch the 3 touch to a hand wave?

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

Ill check those options out.

As far as the reboots, yes Ive had them with 10 11 and 12. I have free time tomorrow and Im going to do some major troubleshooting as far as the reboots go. Going to start with a clean device, only the basic google apps installed and ARU. then go from there. Trying to narrow down if its ARU or something else in combination, etc etc. Like today it was going smooth and I loaded Waze and something their triggered a reboot. Other times a reboot has triggered by opening a music player.

Part of me thinks Bluetooth related. Not sure what I can do with that. Does changing the kernel have any effects on BT?

Hi Area51 :)

Would love to know progress :)

I understood u got SWC done :)

any progress on GPS ?

No pressure, just wondering.
[Android General] bodieism:
I never allow access to my address book either. Mine has connected %100 of the time so far, as long as I wait until the the Bluetooth icon shows connected in the upper right hand corner of the radio. Screen mirroring mode also starts automatically for me as long as I don't wait too long before I click okay on the first warning message.

I'm staring to wonder if it's perhaps the bypass that's used. I have a PAC TR7 instead of the microbypass.

Not sure if there are other options or not. Screen Standby is the only app I'm aware of right now. It worked great on my Note 2. Now it's usable on my S4 with One Two dim mode activated.

Did you by any chance use Waze? Waze is one of the Pioneer approved apps so it's able to receive GPS data from the radio. I used it the other day without my GPS on in screen mirroring mode and saw that it was working. I thought that you might have to be in the Pioneer appmode for it to work, buy was pleasantly surprised to discover otherwise.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Without a doubt the microbypas is better. Reed so many reviews the PAC had issues. Zero with micro

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Anyone else waze crash when trying to search an address without having pioneer keyboard installed?
[Android General] bodieism:
The PAC has been working fine for me... I just get that annoying second warning message that no one else seems to get.

I don't have the Pioneer keyboard installed and Waze has been working fine for me.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Uninstalling rebooting and reinstalling fixed it... :) maybe u get the second warning due to the PAC. Maybe....?....
[Android General] bodieism:
That's what I was leaning towards. I have a microbypass as well, but I never installed it since all the wires from my AR2 were plug and play for the AR3. The chimes module and SWC unit are really finicky in my car so I don't want to take it back apart since everything is working at the moment. If if ever have to pull everything back out I'll probably take out the PAC and put in the microbypass to see if that stupid 2nd message will go away.

x8500bhs d2att S3

hello Area51,

my report of 1st use ARU in car in garage

what I have:

Samsung S3 ATT Hyperdrive RLS16 rom - it supports MHL

HU Pioneer x8500bhs

aswc-1 for wheel control

ARU .12

Screen Standby with auto for HDMI

no, I don't have bypass, so have to manually do ground

ARU connects and I got full control as expected.

Now some side effects:

1. phone looses mobile connection

2. wi-fi works, but kind of half power and as result internet access unreliable

3. phone gets hot

4. when I run phone audio player (appolo, carmedia, walkman, etc) HU can't control volume, only phone side volume buttons works. I'm not sure why? could be some settings in x8500bhs :confused:

when I unplug from MHL #1,2 and 3 get back to normal, plug it back and all 3 happen again

From time to time I get black screen that might not come back to appl, so I have to press "mode" twice to get app (phone) screen again, another time it comes back while picture only of settings menu of an app on black background and after "exit / return" an app screen is back in color - like something got stuck and blocked phone CPU / GPU for 1-5 sec.

Otherwise, I like it :good:

Would be nice to know if those known issues or it's only my setup that has it

thanks.

You are not alone. exact same setup here! I am researching now. did you find a solution? i'm thinking it has to do with the SELInux mod for us, since we dont have Knox apps on the CM11 Rom. please share your results if you have fixed it. I was also haveing a problem with the battery drain, and I think its caused by the 5-11 pin connector. going to try a Samsung compatible MHL adaptor and see if i get 'AC' charging .

Hey Area51, I donated and sent you a pm with the details. Still waiting to join the beta. I have been using ARU and the GPS Injector since the start. It has been solid but I hope your new app will solve some of my issues.

[Android General] Morphy99:
Thanks for taking the time to reply :) I think I'm going to try with a slim port cable to improve connection quality and eliminate a few steps for me. The main reason to go with the chromecast was to have complete wireless connectivity however at the moment automating this is a problem for me, thus defeating the object... Going to look at 3d printing a dock for the glove box to speed up the process.

The Reloaded Beta sounds good and have donated 89014242RL984280T :) Will this eliminate the need to calibrate each time we connect? Appreciate your hard work on this, keep it up! :)

Samsung S5 AT&T locked?

hello,

Does ARU (.16) work on Samsung S5 AT&T locked bootloader, but rooted?

I got ARU connected to x8500, but no commands from touchscreen or HU buttons were working.

It went through original white dots initialization, it went with some delay, but went through.

After that S5 isn't responded to any touchscreen presses.

the S5 is AT&T that runs original ROM.

anything extra I need to do to make it work on S5?

it works just fine on S3.

thanks.

I tried making a post to ask this question in more detail. But does anyone know If you can use the appradio in conjunction with a casting device such as miracast or chromecast? Say... If your an idiot and don't have an mhl/HDMI port?
[Android General] Morphy99:
Chromecast works but it's a bit of a convoluted setup method each time you need to connect.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes it's possible. Expect a slight delay in the video, less audio quality but some people are quite happy with it.
[Android General] Morphy99:
Chromecast video works fine with my device, I'm not sure the audio is great quality though. Its not bad but it seems better on Bluetooth a2dp and that's compressed. I'm going to compare with a slim port cable to see.
[Android General] robshabazz:
Now that Android Lollipop is standard on new phones SELinux will be on all devices. This is a real issue for this app in the near future.
[Android General] richie6963:
Ok, I sent the payment via PayPal with the information requested. Please let me know what I need to do next! Also thank you very much!
[Android General] ctyler85:
And you can still use the touch screen with a cast device? Im a little mad at myself. I bought the droid turbo, I was sold on the screen guarantee and battery. I honestly didn't even think to check for HDMI since I just assumed it was standard these days. I've been using appradio for 2 years first with droid RAZR then galaxy s4. Just trying to decide if I can get it to work with this phone or trade it in
[Android General] Morphy99:
Yep works the same as connecting a HDMI. The only difference is you have to get your CC connected to your phones WiFi Hotspot first with the help of a laptop or PC with wireless and then everytime you switch on your Appradio you need to enable hotspot then select cast screen once the CC has picked up the network. Its a problem if you have no network coverage though as the CC wont initialise without a network connection. I have most of this automated now with Trigger, it just pauses the process whilst the CC connects and then you select cast screen and a few seconds later ARU launches to calibrate the touch screen. I'm sure you can do this with tasker and autocast but I cant get my head around it all just yet.

App Radio Unchained Reloaded

[MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION], I am very eager to donate and participate in the App Radio Unchained Reloaded Beta if it can solve my current dilemma. Basically, I have ARU working flawlessly with my Verizon One M8 and my Pioneer 8500BHS. I am using a generic mhl adapter, not pioneers. However for some reason, in App Mode, I cannot get any of the physical buttons on the stereo or my steering wheel to work with any app. The only buttons that work are the volume up / down. Have you heard of this issue before? I know the steering wheel buttons as well as the stereo buttons work fine in ipod, radio, siruisXM, etc. I mainly want to be able to skip songs in google play music and other android music apps through my steering wheel buttons. Below I have all the information on my setup if that helps

[Android General] stargate125645:
It is like root; it is something that the phone user will have to figure out. Root and kernel settings are more than likely going to be dependent upon the phone itself (much like how it is now). If it was a simple switch, I'm sure he'd implement it, but I doubt it will be that way. I don't speak for him on the following matter, but the way I see things, the phone screen resolutions causing issues with touch and scrolling will be the next thing he will need to address (assuming AR4 works with the application), as that is directly related to what the application does and is independent of the phone model.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

Track skip keys are the only buttons that transfer from an external device (SWC) through to the phone. If you are pressing other buttons, it will most likely not work. If those keys I listed are not working (and I'm assuming you have the SWC adapter set up correctly), then something may be wrong with the BT relay, such as your BT connection to the head unit not being properly set up. You'd have to get some sort of BT log working to see if the button presses that will work are being transferred correctly. Area51 will have to answer whether ARUR does anything differently with regards to the BT protocol that would change behavior.

On a side, unrelated note: Metra products and the company are trash. Avoid them if you can.
[Android General] trucktruck:
Quick question, how do I change the time on the head unit, I can't find it in the manual and I can't remember how I did it when I first installed it? I think I am having a brain fart.
[Android General] Dejavu92:
I really am only looking to get the track skip buttons working. I'm confident the swc is set up correctly because all of my steering wheel functions work fine outside of app mode. I have also attempted to erase and reconnect my phones BT to the head unit several times. For some reason though, in app mode, the swc track skip buttons don't work nor do the physical track skip buttons at the bottom of the head unit. I have no idea where to even begin troubleshooting. I was hoping to there would be some sort of software based solution for this with ARUr. I don't like ARLiberator and am afraid it will not work properly either.
[Android General] stargate125645:
I would not buy ARLiberator. My thought is that the BT connection isn't set up properly. Can you recall what your head unit's BT settings menu looks like? Mine (the AppRadio 3), for example, shows a phone (signifying the headset profile), a middle icon I cannot remember (for BT audio streaming), and an icon on the right that is two arrows going in opposite directions (signifying the SPP profile). If the profile is activated, the icon will be lit up. However, if the SPP profile isn't working, you won't get touch, so I don't know for sure what the problem is there. Did you accept all BT connection prompts upon initial connection with the head unit? You get at least one prompt, and you have to select to not show again when you hit OK. You shouldn't need an intermediate software solution. I suggest you find a program that shows BT command logs and see if button presses are being seen on the phone (@Area51, this really should be a feature in ARUR at least to help troubleshoot), unless someone comes along with a better idea or solution to the problem from personal experience.
[Android General] Area51©:
In ARUR this is already implemented. From the change log:

V0.08

..

SWC commands logged

..

This means that any incomming SWC command (recognized or not) is logged in the logcat.

If it's a recognized key it will show: "SWC, injecting: <keyName>" , where Keyname is the Android key name

If not recognized it will show: "Don't know how to translate RemoteCtrlInfo = <number>"

With a logcat reader like Catlog it should be no problem to see that live, you can apply a filter to only show ARUR entries.
[Android General] stargate125645:
I meant on a screen in ARUR itself, so downloading 3rd party software to view it wouldn't be necessary. When you put this application in the Play Store, you will get even more people that cannot read directions, so it will save you some head ache to have the information to read already in the program.
[Android General] Area51©:
Obviously anything is possible however I have not received many requests for the feature so this was a quick way to implement it for the people that really want/need it.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Those people aren't going to know that's what they need to look at, so I wouldn't expect it to be a feature request. How many times have you answered the same question on this thread when the answer is also in the FAQ? Never mind when a simple Google search would have sufficed. It's not going to get better. Just trying to save you some hassle in the end.
[Android General] jonalowe:
I'm with Stargate on this one. Pioneer really doesn't give us any info on steering wheel controls for the appradio itself, much less which ones they pass to Android. Some of the Chinese radios have user selectable mapping from SWC's to the head unit. But they have a whole lot of other issues. If ARUR could take the controls that Pioneer doesn't use and allow user remapping to Android apps, that would be a great feature. I'll have to look at my logs.
[Android General] stargate125645:
If the head unit doesn't forward the command, there is nothing Area51 can do with it. The AppRadio 2 and 3 only forward the track skip buttons to the phone that is connected, so I doubt other head units do anything else. Only Pioneer can change that unless someone writes custom firmware for the head unit.

Ok so you're saying with a rooted nexus 5 with stock 5.0 this app won't work? Sorry, I don't really know what exactly SELinux means or does... Are there any kernels for N5 that will allow this?
[Android General] Area51©:
With the 5.0 prerelease it's possible to put it in permissive mode and it works. If this also possible for the release version is not clear yet. My bet is that eventually it will be possible.

[Android General] stargate125645:
That's not a strawman at all. You don't have to do anything that's suggested. You could even drop all support upon release. No one is stating otherwise. It is, however, frustrating for those of us with real issues to get drowned out by those who cannot be bothered to look something up themselves or read directions, so getting their questions answered quickly benefits not just you.

Edit: I'm only sincerely offering advice. Take it at face value. Nothing negative intended.

[Android General] Area51©:
Thanks for your help. I try to filter out real issues. The first big issues was to get the connection process working for everybody. That was hard enough as some of the issues were not even issues in ARUR but bugs in the BT stack of either Android or the HU. Now I am concentrating on getting it released. After this I will certainly not drop support. It was pretty hard work to get this far. I am not going abandon it like ARL was. I still have a lot of plans but of course need to have some sales also to create budget for further development.

First of all try if the track+/- buttons work out of appmode (radio -> seek +/- )(iPod -> track +/-) (CD -> track +/-) (USB -> next/prev mp3)(BT audio -> track +/-) [I own an AR3 and USB playing is not available]

If not working then perhaps you have the plug jack for the SWC not completely inserted (as occurred to me) into the HU or check the connections for your SWC interface.

The only buttons that work in appmode (at least for me - Mazda cx5) are volume +/- track +/-

Voice recognition (phone Bluetooth) window appears always when pressing hung call button whichever mode of radio was playing.

Attenuation of sound acts when voice recognition button is pressed.

[Android General] stargate125645:
Your last two sentences imply you can activate voice recognition from a steering wheel button, which does not appear to be possible in my experience. You can hang up and answer a call, but those are through the head unit only and the phone doesn't see that key press directly.

[Android General] tech by trade:
Alas, no. The camera feeds into the HU and totally bypasses the phone. The phone actually runs in the background (you get sound) when the camera is in operation. If you are camera shopping, find a CCD camera. Even the cheap ccd cameras on eBay have a better quality picture than the CMOS stuff. That CMD camera is still better than the CMOS ones.
