I am really having a tough time with this, and I will take any and all advice you have to offer. I got ARU to work one time sometime ago but have never gotten it to connect since then. I know the MHL is working fine because I can view the video, but I can not get any touch control (the red "X"). My phone and head unit both show that they are connected. When I plug in the MHL adapter my phone states "hdmi connected" by flash notification. No matter if I open ARU before or after connecting the MHL adapter the program still just says ready to connect in the notification bar. There seems to be no other confirmation from ARU that anything is plugged in or connected.

My set up:

ARU - arunchained0.13.apk from the first page

Rooted AT&T Note 3 - SAMSUNG-SM-N900A

AppRadio 2 - Pioneer SPH-DA100

MHL 2.0 Adapter - ET-H10FAUW

Premium HDMI (no snow or connection issues)

I feel as though I have tried every method in this thread to connect (and I have read every word of this thread). I have specifically tried the method listed in post 858 many times since it appears DJHile as the same phone as me, but no luck. I never see the white button to press in step 3. I don't have an AR3 so there is no setting in the HU to set to "Other". I have unplugged the power to the HU and did a full reset.

I am hoping I don't have to unplug the HDMI cable as that would mean having to remove the HU from my truck behind the dash. But if I have to I guess I can.

I have tried to every combination to activate the program and plugging in the MHL adapter. I came from ARL when I had a AT&T Galaxy S3 and the process that worked best for me then was to leave bluetooth on and ARL running in the background. As long as I would plug in my phone in the first minute or two it would connect 90% of the time. (of course I have tried that method with my current set up with no luck).

Area51 I know this is not your job so thank you for your efforts they are very much appreciated.

By stock keyboard, do you mean only the Samsung keyboard? Or do you mean any keyboard I typically use like Swiftkey, i.e. can I swype?

I downloaded the the apk (arunchained0.13.apk) and installed it and I got a message saying the current keyboard isn't available with the display unit. It tells me I need Carkeyboard. Also, I see compatible Apps and there are only a few, i.e. CarMediaPlay, DashCommand, Maxthon Browser. What am I missing?
[Android General] lpasq:
keeper22 ...from what you wrote, I'd be testing other roms and then kernels too. sounds like bluetooth is not playing nice...
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
ur not missing anything....

Yes, any keyboard will work.

Disregard the app notification for the carkeyboard, later on go to the app settings and tell it to stop annoying u with the car keyboard app...

all the rest of the apps ur talking about are pioneer approved compatible apps. Since u will be using ARU with full mirroring to the HU (head unit) these apps are of no concern for u since u will be able to run any app... you will be able to use ur phone via the HU touches.... make sense?

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

Try this:

*. Completely remove ARU

*. Reboot

*. Install ARU

*. Reboot

*. on the HU go to bluetooth settings and delete any previous connection to the HU

*. Follow these steps on page 22 to establish a new BT connection with ur phone.

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/SPH-DA100_OperationManual061112.pdf

*. Run ARU and see if it prompts u to calibrate screen.

Wish i could give more specifics but i have AR3 and not AR2....

AT&T Note 3 still has a locked bootloader so having root is the best I'm going to get right now.

[Android General] hoops129:
I see. Thanks. Using my phone without restrictions would be nice. Does that also mean voice commands work as well, i.e. S-voice?

Also, when using Google maps, does it use the GPS built in to the HU or is it still using the phone's GPS?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Voice search work.... if u use ur wheel remote voice search it will use pioneer own voice search which is basically same as google voice search just via the HU.

Currently the GPS is using the phone GPS, but area51 (the dev) made good progress and in the next releases it will be using the HU GPS.
[Android General] hoops129:
Wow. I'm impressed. Now I just need to find another installer because the one I talked to told me Appradio is junk. I'd feel awkward asking him to install it. Will any MHL adapter work. I'm thinking I should just run an hdmi cable from the HU to the center console. Then I can buy any adapter if I chose to use an iPhone down the road (assuming a jailbroken iphone 5s will run ARU).
[Android General] Area51©:
It's now 900+ downloads already.

I think that's a HU overlay over the mirrored phone screen? If so it would require hacking of the HU firmware which in theory would be possible but I won't be doing it. I know some Russian guys hacked one of the early AppRadios but it's much more difficult than hacking an app. It's very likely that you will brick your HU. It would certainly involve taking the HU apart and finding out whether it can be programmed through jtag or something similar.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
U can come to my place ill install it for u :) i did the entire setup in my Lancer GTS without cutting the original harness and keeping wheel remote. Easy Breezy :)

ARU will never run on an iphone since its an APK for android, there are solutions for iCrap but i REALLY dont know the names sinse i promised my self i will never touch that device again :)

ur impressed with the app or my help?? lol . kidding :)

Dude, installing the AR3 is not hard, tell me the exact car u have (make model year) and ill send u a PM (so we wont spam this thread) of EVERYTHING that u need to do a perfect install....

unless ur car is from 1981 it is so simple to do a car stereo these days, especially with all the adapters so u wont need to cut much... and most is color coded....

u will need the AR3, the microbypass, the steering wheel adapter (if applicable) , the original car harness adapter (to after market), the replacement dash and the cables for ur phone.... MHL adapter - depends on ur phone.... give full details...
[Android General] lpasq:
thx for reply
[Android General] Area51©:
To verify that HDMi is working you can select the App button once it turns green and then press Ignore (cancels bluetooth connection).

This should show your phone screen and if it does you know your HDMI is fine.

It seems your bluetooth is not connected so try to fix that as a second step.

When you get bt to work and you connect then some white dots have to be touched for calibration.

Once that is done you should be able to get full mirroring. If touch then doesn't work anymore this usually means that root is not root as it should be. This happens mostly with the latest Samsung devices that have SELinux set to enforcing by default.
[Android General] keeper22:
I can see my phone screen by doing that. I have just deleted the root permission so that it will ask again. I will be able to get out to my truck at lunch to try it out. Thank you for the app and your help.

Does this kit work with Appradio3 or is there a new kid I need for my Galaxy S4?

Pioneer Android CD-AH200C Connection Kit for AppRadioTM 2

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1630083502&pf_rd_i=507846
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
It will work but u will also need to get the official 5 to 11 tip from samsung site. or use HDMI cable with the MHL 2.0 from samsung site. i have this kit with the samsung tip and no issues.
[Android General] hoops129:
You have which kit? The one I linked? So I also need the 5 to 11 tip? The 5 to 11 tip says it's for the S3. Do I need it for the S4 too?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Yes u do and yes that's the kit I have as well
[Android General] hoops129:
I'm wondering if the phone still charges when using the kit with the 5 to 11 tip adapter... I thought I saw the screen does not need to stay on, so that probably helps. But it would be really nice if the phone still charges.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Yes the phone still charge with the KIT and the 5 to 11 TIP. a Fast charging kernel is highly recommended tho..... not sure i follow u when u say "i thought i saw the screen does not need to stay on"..... unless u are using an app like "screen standby" the screen MUST stay on in order to mirror via the MHL to the HU.
[Android General] hoops129:
Oh, I thought the phone's screen would shut off. I guess that will drain the battery too. Are you saying even with the screen on and apps in use, there is enough juice to still charge the battery? It has to be a pretty slow charge I would imagine. Especially, if you're using the phone's GPS. Anyway, I'll find out soon enough. I just ordered everything I need (I think). What was the microbypass you mentioned? Is it the 5 to 11 pin adapter?

Red touchscreen X of Death.

Hello Everyone.

I am feeling rather desperate. I hope I have posted this in the right place. I purchased a Pioneer sph da-110 (App Radio3).

Long story short, I got the 100 model and the 110 model mixed up when ordering. I didnt realise my mistake that I had ordered an Appradio 3 until it was too late.

I have a Rooted HTC One phone and have purchased the Pioneer Android kit. The phone appears on the Head Unit but I am getting the the Red X hand of Death. The phone appears on the screen but I cant seem to Pair the phone to the Appradio.

It pairs via bluetooth, and can make calls but cant get the Appradio to work. I feel really stressed out now as I havent got any real use out of it yet. I have been reading here before posting this and community seem really helpful. I hope someone can help or is it a case for me to put it on ebay to sell. I hope not.

many thanks

Toomanygadgets.
[Android General] keeper22:
I think it was a root issue. What caused all my problems was an Xposed module called NotifyClean. It is meant to clear ongoing notifications, which I wanted for another program. After I got everything up and running (with your help) as soon as I installed that module everything stopped working again. Maybe it is a coincidence but that is all that I changed from ARU working and not working.

Thank you for the help.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
is ur phone rooted? have u installed ARU? have u made sure in the appradio3 settings u changed the connection settings from iPhone to "Other"?

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

The phone screen will not turn off as mentioned unless u have "screen standby root" app installed.

Like i said earlier, it is a must to have a fast charging enabled kernel otherwise the battery drain is a lot.

Hopefully soon area51 will release the version with mock locations that uses the HU GPS, that will save battery since it will not use the phone GPS. the bypass u will need to be able to use the head unit while driving. without it u will be locked out while driving....
[Android General] toomanygadgets:
I rooted the phone using Super SU. Although when i use root checked it sometimes says it rooted and then not???

Should I re-root it?

Where is the option to change it from iphone to other.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Yes, u must have root.

the setting is in the connection settings: on page 11 in the manual
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
OK. Just so people know....

i got the samsung allshare cast using CM 10.2 Android 4.3.1

Tested and disconnected.... too flaky...

sometimes it works sometimes not, Sometimes delay is not a problem sometimes its so much delay its so annoying...

disconnected and went back to MHL cable.... Less power to charge but works flawlessly at all times.
[Android General] lpasq:
nexus 5 did not play nice with aru. issue one is that the phone nav buttons to not accept touch input at all. second issue was a phone reboot after the hdmi cut out. the rom is oe with the ota update applied. it's bootloader unlocked, twrp, and supersu rooted. that's it so far. i'll give it another try over weekend and maybe dump a logcat and video for dev. other than soft nav buttons not working, everything else seeemed ok before phone crashed. oh yeah...it a slimport hdmi connection.

[Android General] White_neXus007:
worked great thanks
[Android General] bodieism:
My guess is that your problem is the AppRadio 2 being used with the Note 3. I previously had the AR2 and my Galaxy S4 would give me the issue you describe above with ME7 based ROMS. Only MDK based ROMS would work for me with the GS4 and the AR2 and I don't think that would be available for the N3. The AR3 worked fine with MDK or ME7 bases ROMS on my GS4 so it seems like something changed in the Head Units firmware.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Awesome ! glad ur back to normal :)

[Android General] hoops129:
I'm concerned about battery drain on my phone with AR3 using screen mirroring. Can you still get all radio and cell phone functions (via bluetooth) if you decide not to use the MHL and do the screen mirroring?
[Android General] kachaffeous:
Just found the Appradio 3 today and really want it. I have a N5 will it work fine for Maps and Google Music? Saw the one post about it not working well with the N5. Do I need a MHL adapter or slimport adapter?

Thanks
[Android General] unknownprotocols:
Slimport for Nexus 4 or 5.

Works on my n5.
[Android General] lpasq:
I saw an AppRadio Forum post that N5 works fine using ARL and AR2. My report about N5 and ARU and AR3 is nothing but a quick connection attempt without much effort at configuration, settings, and other research... Do not take my post to confirm anything. Need time for others with N5 to test. My N5 is already on alpha roms and test kernels ;)
[Android General] kachaffeous:
Thanks, Do you need a bypass switch for this to work also? Just loading up my amazon cart.

That is the one I use. Works great
[Android General] bodieism:
That's good news. What did you end up having to do to get it working again?
[Android General] leobg:
Ok - Nexus 5 finally came..

Initially - didn't want to play nice with my AR2. After some rebooting, clearing app data and reconnecting, I finally got it in. Things seems to work except onscreen nav buttons are untouchable. Did not have issues with reboots as lpasq reported.

I guess it won't take much for Area51 to fix the nav buttons (I guess some new stuff with KitKat). I haven't tried ARL at all. May give it a try, but judging from how bad it was with Nexus 4, I'll be really surprised it it works consistently.. Kinda got spoiled by ARU with the near 100% connection track record :)

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

[Android General] BIGSIKE3:

[Android General] Plasmah:
Can anyone tell me why when I use wireless bluetooth with Appradio 3 and pandora it never shows the song information on screen all the info is blank.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Which ROM r u on? That depends on the ROM Bluetooth drivers as well as the application used.
[Android General] hoops129:
AppRadio3 has some built in functionality, right? So even if I don't connect my phone as a mirrorlink device, I will still get phone, pandora, Nav, and hd-radio via bluetooth, won't I? If I use MirrorLink (aka app radio mode) I can control my phone from the touchscreen.

So I'm starting to wonder how it differs from the Pioneer AVICZ150BH which also has app radio mode... couldn't I also control my phone using the touchscreen? How would it be any different than the Appradio3 HU?

[Android General] RalliartJay:
So I downloaded ARU last night. Calibration worked perfect I can touch all for corners. Love it, this is how appradio should have been from the beginning.

Not sure if it is ARU related but I am having problems connecting the bluetooth. Usually gets stuck at 50% so I have to keep disconnecting the blue tooth then eventually it will fully connect.

Does anyone else get this issue?

just fyi I am running on a Rooted Note 2, stock rom testing on AR3.
[Android General] evillela2001:
You can't hook up any external drives to the usb port. It is only for firmware upgrade.( or power for charging)
[Android General] Area51©:
Till now didn't have many reports that bluetooth connection has problems. In fact most people report it connects very well and it should because it's made by Pioneer. I didn't touch that part of the app.

Do you have many contacts? Every time you connect all contacts will be synchronized first, the more you have, the longer it takes. But it should still work well.
[Android General] Area51©:
Statistics

About 200 people have downloaded ARUnchained.

14 people have filled out the survey, thanks for the info!
[Android General] RalliartJay:
I figured it was not ARU related,I was sort of getting the same issue when I first downloaded Appradio but eventually went away and started connecting more consistently. But I guess I do have a lot of contacts but it should still connect after 10 mins i would think. We will see how this plays out in the next few days.

I filled out the survey hope that helps you collect some more info.
[Android General] leobg:
Been busy last couple of days. Just filled up the survey too.

I put some experiments with latest nighty Cyanogen 10.2 on the Nexus 4. It is a train wreck, but I don't blame AppRadio Unchained for that. Connection doesn't work consistently every time (but still acceptable) - 2 out of 5 times had to stop/start bluetooth to get connection going. Screen Standby app totally messes up things (totally nothing to do with appradio unchained of course). HDMI doesn't force landcape (very inconvenient to have to position phone properly in the car, especially if you use the cup holders for that :). Various workarounds using Tasker and a bunch of other apps are more trouble than good.

Didn't have time to test with bone stock 4.3. I suspect it will likely be ok. Will test at first convenience. Back on CM 10.1.3 where everything works 100% reliably!

Looking forward for multitouch, hw buttons and GPS!

Cheers!

I think the ARU should have its own logo, making it easy to distinguish from the official one...:cool:
[Android General] evillela2001:
Had a minor issue today on the way home. The Bluetooth connection kept on disconnecting every 5 mins or so. That made the HU touch screen useless (got the hand with the red X) I had touch the HU screen then after about 15 sects it would reconnect and everything would work fine again. This is the first time this has happened so I'm not sure if this is a major problem but I thought I would mention it. Keep up the great work.

[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
I downloaded it, but have not had time to try it yet
[Android General] zr2ee:
i figured out the keyboard issue i seemed to be having as it occured with several 4.3 variant roms and a 4.2.2 AOSP variant i finally installed. It seems that when ARU is started it by default enables a physical keyboard setting which keeps the keyboard from popping up. After going to the (ARU settings menu > Keyboard > input method) i was able to disable it.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes, very good idea.

ARU with AppRadio 2 & VZW Samsung Galaxy S4

Finally got around to testing it out today & it seems to be working pretty good. The bluetooth connection seems to take a little longer to connect than the ARL app, but I would trade that for reliability any day. Only time will tell if ARU is more reliable though. I had one glitch where it didn't connect, but I'm thinking maybe the rom bugged out on me because I tested it ten times in a row after that and it connected every time. It also didn't matter when I connected the phone... right before the car started, right after, or even a few minutes after. Looks like you're going to have a really solid app when you iron everything out :good: In fact, your app has convinced me to go ahead and order an AppRadio 3.

Some other things I noticed are that the back button on the radio allows me to exit the Pioneer app mode and go to my homescreen and the home button on the radio returns me to the Pioneer app mode, which is kind of nice right now since mock locations GPS isn't working in full mirroring mode.

If I could just get screen standby to function properly with the S4 without screwing everything up I'd be set :D

I can confirm that it is working like a dream with my S4 and Appradio3. The only issue I have is that TouchWiz doesn't do landscape on the home screen and all the apps that will force it do not work correctly as they cut off the app icons due to not resizing. Other than that AMAZING is all I can say finally makes the radio worth every penny.
