I was almost ready to cross the app radio 3 off my list but the more I thought about it I almost never used hd or satellite radio. I mainly stick to slacker, Google music, and Pandora. I'm guessing more and more people don't need satellite or hd radio - especially when they have a app radio :)

You can get matt screen protectors for them. As I have a convertible, I adapted mine so that it tilts slightly downwards to not reflect the sun as much. If it can be used in a vert then a saloon shouldn't be an issue.

I have a screen protector on my 8500 now ,but I don't think I will see that anymore when or if my radio gets back to me

HDMI stick and Mic

How can I make my HDMI stick work with the AppRadio stick. Under settings, sound, there is no option for input. Does that mean there is no driver for a mic? Can a driver be installed. Also my Bluetooth is not set up as a phone profile (my iPhone is paired as the phone profile. This allows me to have two Bluetooth devices paired at once.). I would like to use the google voice search.

Thanks for the help

Hdmi connection issue still

Ok so i had the issue of my phone(NOTE 3) saying the HDMI connection is disconnected and connecting randomly..So i changed to a better HDMI and a new MHL cable..Still same issue..What could cause this issue..I know all the cables are good and well connected.
[Android General] bk73w:
Chill... Really..

D/L Pandora (that means download) I.e. Go to play store and type Pandora in the search box (go figure) and click the install button. Then you would need to accept the permissions(review first, I am not saying overlook something being able to access your information) then try AR unchained. If it does not work YOU are doing something wrong, it is NOT the app. Multiple people have confirmed s3 working. His app can NOT root and wave security features on all or any phones. A. If it did, you'd be paying a hell of a lot more than $free dollars and free cents(that means you didn't have to pay anything for this app) B. It would be a huge security risk(meaning he would be able to see all the dirty stuff on your GFs phone)

GL!

best phones to use with ARunchained, galaxy s4 issues

Hi, since I'm having so many issues with a rooted t-mobile s4 4.3 stock rom, stock kernal. I was wondering if anyone knows maybe another rom or kernal that people have reported working fine with this phone. I have a usb cable coming out from the appradio3 that I connect to the samsung mhl 2.0, so I'm wondering if this can cause problems..What I also dont understand or get is will I never be able to upgrade to a newer phone or firmware? Like I know on the s4 only 4.2 and below worked fine, so does that mean you cant ever upgrade. Also, I was just thinking of giving up on this phone and getting another phone that people have reported working perfectly. Does anyone have suggestions on a phone that doesnt give people so many problems like these s4's cause? Thanks so much for any help or feedback and sorry for so many questions, I am new to all this phone rooting stuff.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Are you saying you are using a USB extension cable between your phone and the MHL adapter? If so, then, yes that is most likely an issue as most extensions don't connect all the normal pins, let alone the non standard Samsung ones.

You will, once the devs get their solutions out for bypassing knox into their kernels be able to use later versions, but who is to say Samsung won't disable it another way.

As for other phones, pure Android is the obvious answer with the likes of the Nexus 5. That uses slimport rather than MHL though.
[Android General] sicwithit:
Hi, thanks for your response. I actually just have a stand usb male to micro usb male cable coming out of the head unit and also have an hdmi coming out of the headunit and both are plugged into the 2.0 adapter. I have also tried that selinux app and put it to permissive and also installed titanium backup and freezing all associated with knox. I was just wondering what brands are more compatible with arunchained, I might have to look into those nexus phones if they are more stable. If I have 4.3 stock rom, do you suggest another rom version or anything else?
[Android General] Area51©:
It seems on Samsung phones (and only on Samsung) it blocks access to the /dev/uinput device that is used for injecting touch/key events on system level. I have a Nexus 4 with android 4.4.2 running in enforcing mode and the /dev/uinput device is not blocked.
[Android General] jeremywebster21:
Samsung fix for no touch issue!!!!

Hey, Area 51 you have talked a lot on this thread about the enforcing/permissive issue dealing with samsung phones running 4.4.2. I just want to let everyone know that you do not need any special apps such as SELINUX changer or running the commands in terminal. I'm here to give you the absolute fix for anyone with a Samsung device. I have a Note 3 on Tmobile. But this technique will work on any Samsung phone, just may have to do some research to find the file for your phone. Please upload this to the front of the thread.

FOR ANYONE WHO IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH TOUCH AFTER THE WHITE DOTS ON ARU, AND YOUR RUNNING 4.4.2, THIS IS WHAT YOU DO...........

DOWNLOAD A KERNAL THAT IS SELINUX PERMISSIVE. THATS IT!!!! NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS. SERIOUSLY!!!! THATS IT. ITS BEEN SAID A HUNDRED TIMES ON HERE BUT PEOPLE AREN'T LISTENING. THATS ALL FOLKS! I HAVE A NOTE 3 ON TMOBILE. IM RUNNING THE STOCK ROM WITH COLONEL-X KERNAL AND ITS WORKING PERFECTLY. SO NOTE 3 USERS GET THE COLONEL-X KERNAL. OTHER SAMSUNG USERS, FIND A ROM ON XDA WITH SELINUX PERMISSIVE AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE. YES THIS WORKS WITH DIFFERENT ROMS AS WELL. IT DOESN;T HAVE TO BE FLASHED ON A STOCK ROM. HERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS TO LOOK OUT FOR IF YOUR STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AFTER THIS.

(1) MAKE SURE YOUR MHL CABLE IS GENUINE! BEWARE OF THE FAKES ON THE INTERNET. IF ITS NOT GENUINE THEN IT WILL NOT WORK. WILL NOT WORK

(2)IF YOU HAVE THE ALLSHARE DONGLE, ARU WILL NOT WORK FOR OUR PHONES. THIS IS BECAUSE MOST IF NOT ALL ROMS AND KERNALS THAT ARE NOT MADE BY SAMSUNG WILL NOT WORK WITH WITH THE ALLSHARE DONGLE. IF YOUR RUNNING STOCK ROOT THEN YEAH IT WILL WORK, BUT ARU WONT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE A KERNAL THATS PERMISSIVE. SO JUST GET THE CABLE. DONT GO THROUGH THE HASSEL OF BEING WIRELESS.

AS LONG AS YOU GUYS READ THIS, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUES.

PHONE KEEP DROPPING HDMI CONNECTION AND RECONNECTing CONSTANT.WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
That will not work for all of us with a sammy phone with a locked bootloader (ATT for an example), we canot flash a different kernel other than stock... and stock does not allow changing the SELINUX version....
[Android General] bk73w:
Unlock the BL...
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
LOL

i wish.
[Android General] bk73w:
Not able to? That blows.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Yeah, Note 3 ATT is bootloader locked.... Sucks big time.... We got root but no bootloader so we cannot flash custom kernel... we can flash custom roms (based on stock TW) with a workaround of installing it in a different slot so u end up with two OS but always boot to the one u want... that being said, still cant flash a custom kernel so stuck with SELINUX that will not work with ARU...

i would switch if i could find another phone that match the note 3 (especially 3GB ram).
[Android General] jeremywebster21:
Sorry bro, I did not know that. I guess I need to change it to Tmobie/Canadian Note 3 fix for no touch. I just wanted to throw info out there because I've been trying to figure this stud out for weeks and I finally got it working. But I would suggest you guys find a rom that ls SELInux permissive.

And that terminal command thats going around might work AT&T users.

I HAVE AN IDEA! IF EVERYONE WHO HAS A SAMSUNG PHONE ON 4.4.2, PLEASE POST YOUR SETUP AND HOW YOU GOT TOUCH TO WORK. THIS WILL HELP OUT ALOT OF PEOPLE. SO WE KNOW IF YOUR ON TMOBILE, CHANGING THE KERNAL TO A PERMISSVE ONE WILL WORK, BUT WHAT ABOUT AT&T, VERIZON, SPRINT, AND ANY INTERNATIONAL SERVICE. LET US KNOW YOUR SETUP IF YOU HAVE TOUCH WORKING.
[Android General] bk73w:
It's simple really. In the OP, Area51 put a link to a survey there. Take it. Fill it out accordingly. In the other comments, put down what bells and whistles you needed. If you Can't get it working. Read the survey. That's what it's there for! XD
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
No worries man, u found something that got u excited and u wanted to share:) nothing wrong with that....

that being said, again. Even a different ROM will not help.... since the bootloader is locked u cannot flash a custom kernel nor change it via terminal... we are simply stuck due to this issue....

can't get my Nexus 5 to work...

Hey guys. I'm having an issue getting my Nexus 5 to work on my AppRadio 3. I'm having the same issue as someone well early on here (enjoimadcow on pg1 near the bottom and on to pg 3, I think) but he ended up resetting his phone and it worked out fine... but nothing here.

to give you more info:

I have one power/USB converters to power my Slimport, it's all plugged in fine as I can tell

when I launch the app, it stays on that screen with the 6 dots and grey BT logo

the radio seems to connect to the BT to make phone calls and stream BT audio even with the phone not connected to the slimport

when I connect it to the slimport, the radio's Apps icon lights up but has a pink X next to the BT logo

when I click on that, it asks me to make sure that I have the Appradio app installed on my phone and gives me the options for settings/ignore

click settings : it takes me to where I can connect my phone to it and watch it connect till it says connection was successful but nothing changes.

if I hit ignore, it shows a live mirror of my phone, but I can't interact with anything on the radio...

my phone IS rooted, ARU has SUser permission

the only conclusion I can think of is that it might be the Slimport I purchased it's one of those with the male HDMI end and a 6ft USB end. (can't currently post link cus I'm too new, but NewEgg item# 9SIA1ZZ1055937 will show you.

any ideas?

anything can reset ARU to get it connected again?

hi,

I keep rebooting my S3 to get ARU connected.

Sometimes ARU can re connect 2,3,4 times without phone reboot

however, when something get stuck ARU doesn't even try to connect.

I tried to re enable BT and connection on phone and HU, didn't help.

I'm not sure what makes ARU blind to established BT connection.

Any ideas?

thanks

Are you letting the phone connect to the deck via bluetooth fully before plugging your cable in? I have issues unless I wait for the bluetooth connection to totally finish before I plug the phone in.
[Android General] hghflyrjd1:
HDMI Connection drops and connects constant.

Could me having USB debugging checked ON give me an issue with my connection?. .sometimes it works fine then 15 mins later it starts to do the dropping and re connect thing.
[Android General] mikek753:
No, my phone has BT off by default.

I use e-robot, others use tasker

I plugin my phone to MHL and when phone gets HDMI connected event it runs multiple actions like:

turn BT on, wifi off, display landscape, data on

when I unplug my phone those actions are executed in reverse order by HDMI disconnect event
[Android General] jeremywebster21:
No problem, I was told from another person on here that this doesn't work for AT&T users because of the locked boot loader. But this definitely works for T-Mobile/Canadian devices.
[Android General] codee:
Im going to guess that may be your issue then. Myself with a lot of others had similar issues until we realized it is pretty consistent if we wait for blue tooth to connect first. Why do you turn blue tooth off out of curiosity? Only reason I can think of is the classic batter drain thinking but I have mine on all the time and connected to a jawbone up24 and a galaxy gear 2 watch and it doesn't even cause a blip on my battery Stat readings.
[Android General] mikek753:
thanks, I'll try to keep BT on and see battery drain

I hope that BT will not drain till it's connected.

Okay so after all the waiting and waiting.. My connection does not work. Yay! I have ar3 htc one rooted with viperone rom sense 6 with an elementalx kernel. Using the pioneer USB. I set connection to others, tried deleting and resetting the BT profile, rebooting phone. BT connects fine, mhl is recognized on the phone, heck even AR unchained says it's connected, but the app button on the radio has no function and does not light up. Any suggestions?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Shouldn't be an issue on the first question you asked. I have debugging switched on, as probably do most people who have activated the developer settings.

Depending on the version of MHL, yes losing power can be an issue. V1.0 needs power to the MHL adapter for it to work, whereas V2.0 doesn't.
[Android General] Area51©:
The app button lights up when HDMI signal is detected by the HU. Did you check the output of the MHL adapter when you connect it to a tv?
[Android General] bk73w:
No, it is the cd-mu200 cord. When I connect, my device recognized it as mirror link and says mirror link is connected..
[Android General] Area51©:
Ok, that won't work. You need to use a HDMI adapter.

If it works out well you should list that in the OP for people having trouble with finding an adapter
[Android General] mikek753:
I'd advise to NOT use 3rd party adapter.

I been there, done that ... I didn't listen to this forum and appradio forums ether, so I paid twice + my time.

Keep in mind that you'll need the adapter to work in running car !!! this is huge difference vs at home connect to TV.

In a car you have a lot of interference, so adapter and cables have to be properly shielded.

What's more? From 3rd party you can get interference with your phone - like bad GPS, bad LTE and such.

If you think that saving extra $10-$20 worse to take such risk - go for it by all means

I did it yesterday and it ABSOLUTELY works! After the countless hours of begging on these boards for simple answers, I finally got one and it worked the first time and I have finally been enjoying my AppRadio3 all day today. For anyone else on these boards that has spent countless hours of research, pleading for the smallest answer, hit up for cash, told your phone is crap and yo go buy a different brand...If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with TMobile, DOWNLOAD THE COLONEL X KERNEL and your problems will be no more.

Just got my SPH-DA110 in the mail along with my mounting kit and steering wheel control adapter; having a pro install it for me over the weekend!

I bought one of these MHL adapters from my work (Microcenter)

http://www.amazon.com/Cirago-MHL4300-Adapter-Combo-Galaxy/dp/B00FFZD8TK

Tried it out on my 144hz Asus monitor and working great, hopefully it won't perform any different in car but who knows! If that is the case I will order the Samsung 2.0 adapter but overall this Cirago one actually looks like it's good quality. We shall see this weekend I guess.

Better to use 2a or 1a to charge/power the MHL adapter?
[Android General] codee:
It's not that easy my man. You're much better off saving yourself and the forum the time and hassle when you are wondering why it doesn't work :D some of the generic ones don't pass much voltage through to charge the phone so even though it shows that it's charging your battery level actually goes down. It's just not worth it. I oem adapter is like $25 at best buy... Why save $10 for a part that is the link to a system that cost almost $1000?

HDMI Cable to Official Samsung 5-11 pin MHL adapter (works flawlessly in other applications) with full power via USB from good source.

Samsung Galaxy S4, BL Unlocked, Stock TW 4.4.2 with Knock Removed, KT Kernel (SE Linux Permissive)

Connection on HU set to 'Other' and 'HDMI'

In various orders I've tried this:

HDMI Cable/MHL Adapter connected.

BT Connection to HU

ARU Launched and shows 'Connected' in status bar.

'APPS' button on HU is NOT active, no mirroring taking place.

[Android General] Area51©:
Which version are you using the normal or the stick version? I think you would need the normal version but I could be wrong.

The Invert XY option doesn't work well with calibration, it switches half way calibration so you can't do a proper calibration. However it will work when it's permanently in one state. The normal version is for phones and the Invert XY is switched off. The stick version used for HDMI sticks has Invert XY switched on. So if you are using the normal version and it doesn't work correctly you may try to install the stick version.
[Android General] Area51©:
Your setup seems to be right.

The Apps button depends on only one thing and that is that a valid HDMI signal is detected. This will work even if there's no Bluetooth connection. You can then just hit Ignore and it will still show the HDMI source. To verify this you could use the HDMI output of a laptop for instance. It could be that your HDMI cable has a bad connection. Or somehow the HU doesn't like the signal.
[Android General] cvondra:
Possible the cable isn't shielded well enough?
[Android General] Area51©:
I don't think that will cause to show nothing at all. Bad shielding will result in disturbances or video snow but not in no picture at all.

Here you shouldn't hit ignore because if you do you never will be able to get touch via Bluetooth. Make sure that you get Bluetooth connected in this step.

Ok all, I've read many of the posts here and many of the topics in the ARL forum.

I'm at square one here and I'm swimming with too much knowledge...over-knowledge!

Here's what I have. All the cables and wires I need (no chinese/amazon knock offs). An Appradio 2 and a Galaxy s3 running 4.3 (unrooted at the moment) and totally stock.

Now, My phone has been asking me to update to the new KitKat for the past 24 hours, and this worries me. I'm also due for a new phone soon. While I love my S3 and have had no issues with Samsung in general, I'm wondering if swapping to a different brand phone will make my appradio experience less frustrating (no knox).

So, what's the best phone to use with my appradio 2?

Any help would be great.
