I cannot get my HTC One running 4.4.2 incertcoin (tried 4 differen't roms) to establish a media Bluetooth connection. My phone says it is connected to media and phone but my Apradio just shows phone. What could cause that?

Hey guys,

I just bought a AR2 (Probably should of bought the AR3).

I have a SG4 and plan on buying the MHL 2.0 adapter from Samsung.

Can you guys confirm what I've read as accurate?

1. MHL 2.0 will not require USB power attached to it since I'm on a MHL 2.0 compatibile device.

2. If I also want to connect a power source I should not use the Ar2 USB ports as the source of power

3. MHL 2.0 is less laggy and allows full touch screen operation from the HU as oppossed to using AllShare adapter

4. Automate the **** out of the connection process with Tasker!

5. ARU is preferred to ARLiberator

Any tasker plugins I need to make this smooth?

Thanks for the help!!
[Android General] LinxuSx:
1. Correct. The MHL 2.0 HDTV Smart Adapter is fully compatible with the S4 and will power it via HDMI.

2. I believe AR2 USB only puts out 500 mA of power, regardless of any other factors. You may want a second opinion on this. If no one comments by tomorrow, I can do a quick test tomorrow afternoon. I just picked up one of these Charge Only USB Cables from Amazon that help with the not having a fast charge kernel issue.

3. The touch screen operation (input) is performed via bluetooth input device, so MHL is not a factor. I haven't had any lag issues with my MHL 2.0 adapter and the SG3.

4. Yes!

5. I can't comment on this since I have an AppRadio 3. Try out both - it supports the development community here on XDA. $24.99 (or whatever they charge) for ARLiberator is minuscule in comparison to the hard work these developers do on their own time for our benefit. If you decide you like ARU more, be sure to support Area 51 with donation / buying his GPS Injector.

As for Tasker plugins, you'll definitely want TaskKill. I also use Bluetooth Auto Connect and Rotation Locker (instead of the built in ARU rotation locker).
[Android General] nosit1:
1.) I'm not sure if that's true like it is for Slimport adapters.

2.) You can use the rear power source, but they are generally limited to 500mAh, which is definitely more than most are discharging off their units.

3.) Going straight in will always be less latency than wireless AllShare adapters

4.) Depending on your device, you may only have to automate minmally. My Bionic only needs to disconnect from BT and reconnect

5.) ARLiberator is expensive, contains less features, and does not support this many phones nor AR3.

Hi,

Been used the Pioneer AppsRadio 3 couplet whit an AT&T Galaxy S4, canadian model (SGH-i337m). I've actually have CyanogenMods Nightlies, latest release on it. I'm using the ARUnchained apps to gain full access to my phone directly on the radio.

Experienced somes problems i wan't to know if another one as too, or how to fix them.

1. The radio been stuck on 50% for bluetooth connexion. Sometime, i can connect it whitout problems. Need to do that to first, powercycle the phone, second, powercycle radio, turn off and on again the bluetooth on phone, and then, will connect. Sometime need too to delete the connexion on phone and on the radio.

2. When get succefully connected, after only 30 second of audio playback, the bluetooth connexion was lost, and need to connect them again, repeat the step described above.

3. GPS function seem to be not working. For example, in the radio settings i've been seen that have full GPS signal, but it's not rare on the phone, independant of which apps used(USA, Waze or google maps) have an audible message tell me the GPS signal is low.

The major problem seem to be the bluetooth. Honestly, i think the Pioneer product is designed for iPhone... And android seem to have serious problem whit the bluetooth. Been try many iPhone, and no connexion issues.

Anyone have an idea of what i can do to fix problem?

Thank!

Hello,

Does anyone have the same problem?

When I open an application (podcast, music Samsung, files,...), the loading time is very long because my files are on the SD Card (sometime, the circle can turn more than 3 minutes)

This problem is not present if the MHL is not connected (tested with 1.0 and 2.0) ...

When I plug my MHL cable in I cannot get my bluetooth media to pair. Can anybody help me? I have an HTC One rooted running Incert coin and an Appradio 3 running the current software.
[Android General] tech by trade:
Im kind of new to this too, but by chance is the bluetooth trying to connect to the media? If so turn it off and let app radio do the connection. My sony was doing the same thing, it would flip back and forth between media and ARU for the connection on bluetooth until I turned off media on my AR3 bluetooth connection.

Hey can someone please help me with a good Tasker setup for note 3, plus I'm kinda confused on how to even use it in the first place.
[Android General] spencer311:
Ok see I think I am doing this wrong. I feel like a moron but I don't get how the app can establish a Bluetooth connection. How do I get it to do that?
[Android General] tech by trade:
Not sure either, but I know when I had media enabled, I was able to play music through the head unit control, but when I turned on ARU it would cycle on and off, and when it cycled on I would loose touch control. I disabled media and it worked. You need to leave the phone portion connected though. Give it a try. Only other thing could be your phone isn't rooted correctly or ARU doesn't have root permission.
[Android General] spencer311:
Yea I did try it thank you. Im still not having any luck. I'm fully rooted and my supersu is up to date and appradio umchained is listed. I did find one thing I need to try. In supersu I found a force Bluetooth per app option. Hopefully that works. I installed arliberator and it ran diagnostics and said my phone had no issues with root ( I have sense deleted that app) I wonder if I should try a non sense Rom.

Hi, please tell me!

Can "ARUnchained GPS Injector" transmit the current time GPS? It's a very important issue for Stick-version - time correction by GPS.
[Android General] TEK112:
I don't think Android natively supports network time updates via GPS. If you have a problem with it losing the date/time you may want to hardwire the stick to the battery, but be warned of prolonged use and the possibility of premature battery replacement. A dome light can kill a battery overnight. However, in standby mode I have heard of users doing a hardwire and not having issues. Either way, you've been warned.

EDIT:

Here is a free app on google play that requires root. It will automatically synchronize your system time via GPS.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourcewalker.gpstime&hl=en
[Android General] ShurikX RUS:
This application is GPS Time - I have found! GPS Time does not adjust the time on the Stick. The program provides information that there is no GPS receiver, although in all the navigation program "ARUnchained GPS Injector" sends coordinates without problems.

Installing the external battery is also not the best solution.
[Android General] TEK112:
Did you enable allow mock locations in the developer settings?
[Android General] Area51©:
The time from the HU GPS is sent to "ARUnchained GPS Injector" but currently nothing is done with it as it didn't seem necessary.
[Android General] tsitalon1:
Thank you for the validation.

Looking forward to seeing how well this works... Everything is on it's way and i plan to install this weekend :)

Is it in the actual settings or the phone settings? And yes I have paired and unpaired and deleted the connection from the phone and from the hu probably around 20 times.
[Android General] Area51©:
Page 48 of SPH-DA110_OperationManual051713.pdf (assuming that you have a SPH-DA110). You can only set it when no input on HDMI and no BT connection active.
[Android General] nosit1:
On my SPH-DA210 (AR3), it's immediately after you hit the settings, the first option at the top. You hit that and as long as you aren't connected to Bluetooth (or ground is going to the parking brake sensor), you can change the device type.

Just wanted to share my experience

I have GS3 on APP3 radio and still on ARU 4 with no issues ever since I installed, also using an MHL adapter, thru my setup I tried almost all micro usb cable available with a 2.0 amp usb charger and battery drains like crazy also installed screen stanby, I decided to install a usb extension from the usb port at the back of the radio just in case i needed to charge another phone, i plug in a genuine blackberry and hook up to the MHL to my surprise my S3 is charging as AC and battery drainage has stop I even uninstall screen standby due to data issue and always charge up my battery hope this will help some of you with battery issue as mine has fix with just a blackberry cable.
[Android General] tsitalon1:
Thankyou, to clarify, the blackberry USB charge cable resolved the drainage right?

Where did you connect the blackberry cable to...the AR3?

Time synchronization on stick using "ARUnchained GPS Injector" - very actual problem! "Stick" resets time of 00:00 every time you disconnect the power HU.

Area51 please, if you want to do a new update "ARUnchained GPS Injector", teach "GPS Injector" to synchronize the time on the stick.

Users "android-stitsk" will be very grateful!

Calibration issue with HDMI stick

I unfortunately have another calibration issue with the hmdi stick version .15:

My setup:

Appradio 2 SPH-DA100

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (Cyanogenmod 10.2.1)

Belkin Miracast HDMI Stick

ARU HDMI Stick Version .15

I can do the calibration and it does finish and I see the video. Also calibration and video do not come back. It rotates to landscape mode too, so that is all fine.

However, the coordinates are turned 90 degrees clockwise. So, if i pull from the right edge of the Appradio screen to the left, I actually pull down the notifications on the phone. Inverting the coordinates does not help, because then everything is turned 180 degrees. I need to turn -90 degrees. I tried to change rotation, changing rotation option, using tools to force rotate, nothing helped.

Logcat with calibration is attached.

Edit: I just tried the normal .16 version. Except for the expected recalibration problems, there are no problems with rotation/coordinates between calibrations. I can use the touch screen as intended. So this problem seems to be limited to the hdmi stick version.

Please help!
[Android General] foornath:
Yes, I've tried to unpair, reset bluetooth connection on AR, and repair. I will get bluetooth audio paired just fine, but ARU just refuses to connect.
[Android General] TEK112:
The nuclear option is to unpair and use titanium to delete ARU data and app. Make sure all subs are gone and then reinstall and try again with the latest ARU version and make sure two BT protocols are established, one for voice and one for media. I had this happen before.

Or, for S's&G's uninstall ARU and download Pioneers app and try that. If that fails, it means the problem isn't the app and most likely a conflict on your phone.

No sound on htc one

Alright so, I have looked everywhere and tried everything i can and still cant figure this out. I get no sound over HDMI when in app mode on the appradio 2. I have an HTC one, root stock rom, ARU, i have also tried it stock with pioneers app, and ARlib. I get video just fine, but no sound, i can make phone calls and hear it over bluetooth just fine, i can go into the pandora app on the HU and listen to that or quit the app on my phone and listen to music but no control on the HU when i do this. I have tried many adapters, the HTC one, some MHLs off ebay, various connections methods, just about everything, and just cant get sound and video at the same time! Any ideas? Im about to go get a new phone or throw this thing out the window lol
[Android General] Sym_Link:
Yes, I have been running CM11 and I have HDMI out just fine on my SGS4. I connect just fine 99% of the time and the other 1% is due to Bluetooth failing. Even then, I just disconnect and reconnect (reset my tasker profile) and all is well. I have even tried my wife's sgs3 and it works fine.

Now I did have to tweak my taker profile just a bit at first to get it just right, but I believe it is all in timing. It seems to work best if on MHL connect I kill the AR app, connect Bluetooth, wait a couple seconds and then restart AR. It then connects within 1 min and I'm listening to music or whatever I need to do.

Again this is on CM 11 and wouldn't even know if the timing applies to Nexus devices with slimport, but this is my experience.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

You need to have a HDMI cable running from the MHL to the Pioneer head unit for it to work.
[Android General] Area51©:
I will consider it when I have some more time available. Unless you are willing to pay $19 billion, then I will do it right away ;)
[Android General] nosit1:
$16 billion and $3 billion restricted stock.

So, a Snickers and $3.21 should do, right?

Any who, I've got my setup almost 100 percent. My Droid Bionic connects absolutely flawlessly. The only issue is the time it doesn't full BT, I have to go in and disconnect than reconnect. Not a big issue since I use Car Home Ultra and have BT settings as one of my tabs.

Your milage may vary.

Canadian Note3 SM-N900W8

Official MHL 2 cable

I also installed the EU software update for an easy bypass.

So once everything in the car was installed I turned my attention to the phone.

I was running the stock MJ4 official canadian release. Stock ROM, only rooted of course. Everything was fine. Everything worked.

I decided to upgrade to kit Kat using directions found at xda for my device using the Mexican firmware NA3. Once installed mirroring worked but touch control was not sent back to my phone despite BT connected for phone calls. Guess ARU wasn't able to set permissions properly.

I then decided to upgrade to NB3 from the N9005 new release. The room I choose to run was made by Alexndr and is a base ROM with no extra. I then proceeded to flash Civs kernel and the BT/WiFi fix required when using an international ROMfor our devices.

Installed ARU and GPS injector (as system for GPS only) and fitted it up. Didn't seem to matter on which device I initiated the pairing it would work. After a minute out so the appradio so said to connect the cord and I did.

To my surprise it worked. Touch worked no problem.

Note: seems to only reconnect if I shut the car of before removing the cable and I have to wait to plug in until it fully connects. Otherwise I have to repair.

Now I have my awesome Note3 with KitKat and full control on my dash.

You should use the HDMI stick version on a HDMI stick only. It's called HDMi stick version for a reason........
[Android General] Area51©:
Another case of RTFM;)
[Android General] jok:
I did use the HDMI stick version! Please read my entire post, I just tested the normal version to see if I had the same calibration problem with that version, which I did not. I thought maybe, that would be useful info to you.
[Android General] Area51©:
Ok, maybe there's some confusion here. The HDMI stick version is meant for Android HDMI sticks, basically cheap Android devices that don't have a screen but only HDMI output and normally are used to make a normal tv "smart" and allow it to play media files.

From your setup I understand that the Android device that you use is a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. That's a normal phone so it should be used with the normal ARU version. It doesn't matter that you use a Miracast device to transfer the HDMI signal instead of a HDMI cable.
[Android General] jok:
Ok, thanks for clearing that up, then I did get that wrong indeed. Well, then the problem, that it asks for calibration after every connect, still remains, though (with normal version). GPS Injector will only always start after calibration.
[Android General] Area51©:
That was a problem that HDMI stick users also had. It's caused by the AppRAdio app storing some HDMI ID and when it detects another ID it wants to do a new calibration. Apparently HDMI sticks have a different ID each time they are booted. I fixed that in the HDMI stick version by always storing the same ID once calibration is done.

It seems that when you use the Miracast adapter, you have the same problem. When I make a new release I could incluse that fix in the normal version as well.

[Android General] SwissGalaxy:
It seems to work after uninstalling but what to replace it for not having the phone screen on ?
[Android General] leobg:
No good solution so far. Best you could do is to set brightness to lowest setting when connected to the radio (Tasker).

This really sucks for phones with AMOLED screens as they are prone to pixel burn. I don't even bother playing with brightness on my N5. The IPS screen will never burn thru. Since phone gets power from the adapter and charges in AC mode, I just leave it in the console between seats and forget it.
[Android General] ShurikX RUS:
:good:

Excuse me, but when I reach the capital in the $ 19 billion, I think that I will not care about such nonsense as AppRadio.

To my great regret, the sound quality of this type of device is below the threshold of my enjoyment of music. This device varied greatly disappointed. Fortunately, that used it in my wife's car. It is not so pretentious to the subtleties of playing sounds.

P.S. At the same time I buy a Google company and revise policy towards developers. ;)
