Till now i did not get an clear answer on my question about the S4 with kitkat 4.4.2, so i ask it again. because i have to be sure before i install 4.4.2

1- Does the Samsung S4 (I9505) with firmware 4.4.2 work with ARU ?

2- Does the Samsung S$ (I9505) with custom Omega ROM V24 or V25 work with ARU.

I hope somebody can give an clear answer ;)
[Android General] Area51©:
Don't think you are doing anything wrong.

What HU, Phone, Android vesion are you using?

Did you convert the GPS Injector to a system app?

In your android setting did you disable the Phone's GPS?

LG G2 - verizon vs980

4.4.2 (cm11)

I did convert using TB to system

I disable location stuff as well.

Hey guys I have read a little bit but cant find a solution I have the appradio 3 with the android connection kit from pioneer using my note 3 from verizon with the samsung adapter everything works great but just one question what can I do to get a positive battery charge on my phone?
[Android General] italynstylion:
I asked this earlier but didn't really get any responses...

Is anyone NOT using a parking brake bypass with their Appradio Unchained setup?

I ask because I think mine is defective causing me to not be able to connect the phone. It worked for a while and now it quit on me. I suspect this because there are features that are grayed out in the settings menu like "Factory Reset" that can only be done with the parking brake on.
[Android General] Vissionary:
-context-

Well after about two days of testing it appears that the culprit was my USB charger. I purchased it from Amazon specifically for this setup because it supplied more amperage than my previous motorola charger. That said, I haven't gotten a black screen or any flickers since.

However, my the ARU still takes a couple or few times to connect. I'm so anal about the consistency but in the end I'm grateful for Area51's work.

Lastly, what chargers are you Nexus 5 owners using to achieve a positive charge?
[Android General] Yarzospatflute:
I use this and this to keep my phone charged.

What's your process for connecting the phone? I've read in various places that 4.4.2 has some BT issues. This is the only BT device I use with my phone so I'm not familiar with any BT problems, but in my Tasker profile it turns off BT and then turns it back on before starting ARU. As long as I wait until I hit that first "OK" on the AR3 to plug my phone in it connects every time in less than 10 seconds.
[Android General] lboyce72:
I have a Pioneer SPH-DA210 using the Samsung MHL adapter.

I installed the ARU and everything mirrors fine, but I do not have touchscreen on either phone.

Both phones are TMO S4.

First phone is stock rooted 4.2.2 - No touchscreen

Second phone is Infamous ROM 4.2.2 - I get the red X with the hand pointing at it.

Any ideas for correcting this issue?

thanks

[Android General] DarrenMi:
I do not have a parking brake bypass (I ordered one last week, should arrive this week, but now I think I don't need it!). In fact I don't have the handbrake wire connected to anything as when I grounded it I found the radio was asking for the handbrake to be applied.

I have full screen mirroring of my Note3 - can launch email, Facebook, play music videos etc.

Occasionally it will display a white message on black screen about not doing something while driving, but that is normally when my phone has not connected properly, say if I connect the MHL adapter to the phone too soon.

Strange that you get 2 different responses from the head unit.

For me the solution to get touches working was to install a ROM with SElinux set to "permissive". In my case I used OmegaROM. It has a message at power on saying "ROM is not Seandroid enforcing" which I think only happens if the ROM is set to permissive.

I am looking for other ROM's to try that are set the same, or how to xfer the kernel from Omega to another ROM like SweetROM.

If you have the i9500 S4 you could try this and see if it also works for you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232887
[Android General] stargate125645:
Surely someone has an AR3 and steering wheel phone buttons and/or voice activation buttons. It wouldn't be hard to determine if it works!

On a side note, I thought of what would be a nice feature, but I'm not sure how plausible it is. Could an option be added to auto unlock the phone when it is plugged into HDMI and connected to the head unit via BT? It would save a lot of hassle since a locked phone is only useful when the phone is not plugged in, and changing the setting is a pain.
[Android General] jdpdata:
You could probably do something like this with Tasker /NFC to disable lockscreen while you are in the car.
[Android General] stargate125645:
I don't see how unless Tasker is capable of remembering settings via a variable and restoring them.
[Android General] FastKatt317:
That's what Tasker is for
[Android General] Compromise:
Hi guys,

Just wanted to give a heads up:

Google Maps recently had an update, and that suddenly made my GPS Injector's status from Connected to Unlicensed. I had to unconvert from system app, uninstall, restart, install, run as regular app while connected, then finally convert back to system app for it to work properly.

I use a LG G2 with AR3, on 4.2.2. CleanRom. Hope this helps others.
[Android General] chico260:
you're right .. One was checked just audio .. media was unchecked. . So I checked it in BT options but it unchecked itself. . Even tried with phone not paired got media to check mark then started BTconnection to stereo an it unchecked media maybe I'll try with a different rom but full screen mirroring is on .. Thnx for the advice
[Android General] Area51©:
On 4.4.2 TB doesn't convert it to system app correctly. Can you uninstall it and then install it as a normal app first to see if it works? Note that you then have to enable mock locations in the android developer options manually first. If that works then read the FAQ (post #3) how you can convert it to a system app the right way.
[Android General] Area51©:
Thanks for the info. It doesn't seem likely however that it is because of a Google Maps update as the license checking is not related to that. I would think it may be because of a Google Play update that might have happened at the same time.
[Android General] Vissionary:
I had considered that setup but went with the "lazy" route. I will order these ASAP, as I prefer the more clean and discrete approach anyways :good:

My current Tasker profile:

-HDMI plugged

-Bluetooth set "on"

-Wait 2 seconds

-Load app "ARU"

-Wait 10 seconds

-Load app "Play Music"

-HDMI disconnect

-Bluetooth set "off"

-Kill app "Play Music"

I will also add that I use an app called "Bluetooth Auto Connect" to expedite the connection process ( I just installed this app to rule it out as a probable cause) Will test tomorrow and the next few days.

Lastly, I have 4 BT profiles in settings, in order:

1. Work computer used for BT audio streaming only.

2. AppRadio

3. CBT (Torque OBD2 transponder)

4. GT-BT Receiver (my outdoor patio amplifier)
[Android General] DarrenMi:
As mentioned above, Tasker is perfect for this, and what a lot of AppRadio owners seem to use.

As jdpdata said, you could use an NFC tag in your car, although personally I use "HDMI Plugged In" to trigger the AppRadio settings since the car is the only place I plug my phone into HDMI.

I used Tasker for the first time this morning, and it took all of 5 mins to create the AppRadio start/stop profiles.

Some good info here: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/34566-android-tasker-profiles/

I am still adjusting mine, but this is a good starting point (edit: and Vissionary posted his while I was typing :) )

HDMI Plugged In

- Auto Brightness Off (as interferes with manual brightness settings)

- Display Brightness Level 0 (to save battery)

- Bluetooth On (in case its off, although I normally leave on for Pebble smartwatch)

- WiFi Off (skip this if using wireless video mirroring)

HDMI Unplugged

- Music Stop (to ensure music stops playing when I turn car off or unplug phone)

- WiFi On

- Kill App AppRadio

- Auto Brightness On

- Display Brightness 255

- System Lock (I might add an auto-unlock to the first task)

I do not launch ARU with Tasker - I find it seems to connect automatically anyway (since its always running in the background) - and I may not want to use the AppRadio apps. I might want to load Spotify or SoundCloud or Google Maps etc, so I just choose the required app from the "AppRadio" folder on my home screen.
[Android General] jdpdata:
Hey Darren what does System Lock do on your unplugged Task? Your profiles is very similar to mine. I might tweak mine a little. I also use Car Home Ultra. It have nice large interface for the car. So when I hit Home button on HU, I'm back at CHU.
[Android General] Yarzospatflute:
I had done the "wait X seconds" thing, too, when I first set up my Tasker profile because I'd seen it here. It doesn't seem to need it though. Here's my Tasker profile that's triggered when HDMI is plugged in:

1. Bluetooth off

2. Bluetooth on

3. Load ARU

4. Load CarHome Ultra

With this profile, I turn on the car, hit "OK" on the HU, plug in the phone, and about 8-10 seconds later I'm fully mirrored and ready to go.

I don't have a profile set to kill anything when I unplug HDMI anymore. Killing apps seemed to cause problems sometimes and I would get major battery drain because some background process was still running. Now I just hit the Home button on the phone to back out of Play Music (or the X to quit CarHome Ultra if I'm on that screen) and there's no more battery drain.

My Nexus 5 is stock 4.4.2, but it seems like it should also be this simple with custom ROMs.
[Android General] italynstylion:
Awesome. Thanks for the response. I'm trying to figure out if I should just delete the bypass unit all together. Something is funky and I'm weighing that as an option.
[Android General] jdpdata:
If the current Pioneer HU is anything like my older AVIC Z1, yes it will seems to give you full access for a brief moment, but as soon as you start driving for 5-10 minutes, it will lock you out of most functions. IMO, it's worth it to have the $20 Microbypass installed. Which bypass unit are you using now? I highly recommend this http://www.amazon.com/MicroBypass-A...bs_misc_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=02A27HDYN0FKWSP1F0NY
[Android General] stargate125645:
Thank you very much for the information, but I don't think you guys are reading what I'm saying. Doing auto unlock is insufficient unless it removes the unlock requirement entirely while the phone is plugged in. Simply unlocking it once does nothing for me if I turn the phone screen off to save battery, for example, since I would have to unlock it again when the screen comes back on. This is difficult to do when the screen is cold since it is also insensitive. It would have to be auto unlock whenever the screen is turned back on, while it is plugged into HDMI, and be activated by using the head unit to turn the screen back on. If that is not possible, then the unlock requirement needs to be turned off completely while the phone is plugged in, and restored to the passcode or swipe I had before I plugged in the phone when I disconnect from HDMI. Is Tasker even capable of the latter? Keep in mind when you turn off unlock requirements, Android won't remember previous settings when you enable it again so Tasker would have to be able to store settings.
[Android General] DizzC:
Just be aware that without a bypass and without having the parking brake grounded you will be locked out of some options in settings menu. Notably the screen settings and the phone dialer will be inaccessible. I bought the micro bypass but could never get it to work quite right so I just deleted it from my setup as well. I think it might have to do something with the 12v to 5v converter I had to use for my factory sub. They both tap into the remote turn on so maybe some signal was getting crossed.:confused:

Edit: Nevermind, seems like you already knew that.

Getting a AVIC-4000NEX on Tuesday, got questions

So I am getting the 4000NEX on tuesday and I am sure as hell confused by what I need to get this thing going with this app radio/mirrorlink stuff.

I went from a Pure Android AN-21 that lead to a sound system upgrade, then I got a 80PRS because the sound on the AN-21 sucks. The 80PRS is awesome has great features for a active 2.1 setup(tweets,mid and sub), auto eq and time alignment. But now I have a single din with no satellite or even HD radio. So now I am on my 3rd radio in over a month. The 4000 seems to have the best of both worlds for me. I am a guinea pig with this device as I will be one of the first people in the world to install one of the new nex units. Anyway, on to what matters.

I have a verizon gs4 running CyanogenMod 11 with the last snapshot which was 2/10/14. What do I need to buy to get my phone mirrored on this device. Of course there is no manual online yet(tks pioneer) so I have no clue whats included. I see all these kits and what not but I am all over the place. I don't even understand the difference between appradio and mirrorlink. Sorry for all the newb questions.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[Android General] douger1957:
Just so you guys know... you don't need to use Pioneer's expensive Android kit. Go to Amazon and get a HDMI to MHL adapter. If you're running a S4 or other phone with an 11 pin MHL, get the adapter for MHL 2.0 or higher. You won't need the separate Samsung adapter and it will allow you to simultaneously charge and transfer data.

To steal the thread a bit: I've been trying to get App Mode to work while streaming music. Yeah, I know, it'll do that. But I've got 15K songs to stream.

I've used this to hook up a SSD hard drive to the phone, then run App Mode, using Poweramp as the music player. It works, sort of.

I'm not getting enough power to charge the phone and run the SSD. It's an either/or situation. I've got a charging cable coming tomorrow, I'll see if that puts the whole 2.1 amps into the rig. If not, I'll get a drive enclosure that has a Y cable so I can power the SSD separately.

This setup only works if you have an 11 pin MHL.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

This is what they're showing on the Pioneer website. Quite frankly, it looks like a male to female USB cable and a USB to micro USB cable.

App Radio is Pioneer's attempt at smartphone connectivity. Quite frankly, they've done it poorly and even AR Liberator doesn't make it much better.

Mirrorlink is a product of a consortium of car audio companies that provides a standard for connectivity. From the You Tube videos I've seen of it working, it looks sweet.

Galaxy S4 no touch after successfull calibration

Greetings guys.

Im running a Samsung Galaxy S4, Android 4.3.

Got the AR3 installed quite recently. Connected using Samsungs 2.0 MHL, replaced the horrid Appradio software from Pioner with ARU 0.16 beta and went through setup and calibration smoothly. Right after the white dotty calibration, where my HU worked as a charm, touch capabilities stops and im only able to view the phone. No interaction is possible. I am not getting the hand with the red cross when im touching the screen, just my phones display projected nicely on the AR screen.

Anyone with similar experience/problem that has a sollution to this problem?

Cheers for the effort and great forum.

[Android General] DarrenMi:
This has been discussed extensively in the last few days/pages of this thread including yesterday. Quite a few people (including myself, but now resolved) have experienced this problem, especially on Android 4.4 (KitKat) on Samsungs (S4 and Note3 etc)

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

It locks the phone screen (so I need to swipe to unlock - I don't use a lock code at the moment).

When I unplug the phone from the car I want to put it straight in my pocket - not have to touch any buttons etc - but I also don't want to pocket-dial random people :) so this task locks the phone for me.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

As far as I am aware (its discussed in many AppRadio forums), you MUST keep the phone screen on for HDMI/MirrorLink etc to work. If the screen goes to sleep, the video output goes blank.

So there are 2 things you really want to achieve to work around this issue:

1) make the screen stay on the whole time you require it (whether a 10 min drive to the shops, or a 10 hour road trip)

2) consume as little power as possible while achieving #1

That is the main reason of running a Tasker sequence - to turn auto-brightness off and set brightness to zero, to extend the battery life (or help charge faster) while keeping the screen alive for HDMI output.

I believe there is an option in ARU (as there is in many programs designed to run for long periods, like Pandora etc) to disable the phones auto-lock function so it will never go to sleep while connected to ARU. However that could also be done with Tasker, and reset back to your default auto-lock period later.

My screen stays on the whole time but is dimmed as much as possible. As soon as I turn off the ignition, or disconnect the MHL adapter, Tasker sets the phone back to normal brightness, resets the normal lock timeout, and immediately locks the phone.

Tasker remembers the state of all settings it changes, so when the trigger conditions are no longer met (eg HDMI unplugged) it sets the things it changed back the way they were. However since I want extra tasks run at exit (like closing ARU and locking phone) I have a separate task sequence for when the HDMI cable is unplugged.

Sorry if I am still misunderstanding your requirement - I suggest giving Tasker a try and checking out the link I posted earlier with people in another forum talking about using Tasker with AppRadio.
[Android General] stargate125645:
I do appreciate the help!

I turn the screen off to save battery. Music still plays. Unlock disable is the only fix for that. All other options are taken to reduce battery. If I want to charge the phone faster the screen needs to be off. I did look at the link but it really doesn't tell me how to accomplish this. I would love to learn Tasker but it is not worth it right now with my schedule if it won't do what I need it to. Is there a way to keep a profile running as long as HDMI is plugged in, and to activate on screen on? If so, I will venture down the road. I don't think storing settings is possible with Tasker so either it has to be done with an actual program or via a profile with triggers as noted above.

I have fastcharge over MHL on S3. Good to go for long trips.

Hi all,

Finally I got kernel that allows fast charge over MHL for S3.

I see increasing battery while I drive and use my S3 with GPS, BT, LTE On.

I've used experimental kernel by decimalman, who soon will release it. This kernel is for S3 ATT and TMobile.

I gave up trying to cut power usage by Screen StandBy#Root - just have not worked for me reliably, so charge increase is only way for me.

I'll update when I'll get released kernel as well.

Hope it'll help some of you :p

[Android General] Hesster:
I'm thinking about replacing the stock radio in my '08 Nissan Versa with an SPH-DA110. My phone is an HTC One, so no issues there. It's not rooted, but currently in for warranty repair on a camera issue. I plan on rooting it when I get it back.

I had a few questions that I couldn't find answers for using the search function, and was hoping someone could provide answers.

1.) I settled on the DA110 because I don't need a CD/DVD player. I don't need to play movies in the car, and why lug around CDs when I have a smartphone? However, I read that the DA210 has motors that adjust the tilt angle of the screen to reduce glare. A lot of places only carry the DA210, but Crutchfield has the DA110 on sale for $330, which is about $65 cheaper than the lowest price I was able to find on the DA210 once I figure in the wiring harness and antenna adapter. If you can tilt the screen manually in the DA110 I'd rather save the money. Can you adjust the angle of the screen by hand, or is it fixed in one position all the time?

2.) Do I still need to ground the handbrake or use a bypass cable on the DA110?

3.) The Versa has steering wheel controls for volume, previous/next track and two Bluetooth buttons. There's a button to initiate a call and a button to switch sources. Will the Bluetooth buttons work? Can I use the Bluetooth buttons or assign them different functions with AR Unchained?

4.) Is it better to use the ASWC-1 or a different steering wheel control adapter?

Thanks!

So today the injector became unlicensed again.. I am not sure what caused this to happen this time, strange. Is this because it is a system application and Google Play cannot detect it?

It works again after I uninstalled and all that. Just kind of annoying how it became unlicensed again. :confused:

Nope, it was just an idea what might be wrong. No need to do an update.
[Android General] douger1957:
You only need to do the parking brake bypass if you want to watch videos while driving or perform operations to the head unit, such as mess with settings while driving.

The ASWC-1 is programmable. You can make your steering wheel controls operate whatever functions you desire.

The LVL policy is set to ServerManagedPolicy. This means that the license check response is cached. As I understand this means that the licence check, which requires internet access, has to be successful once in about every 5 days. Could it be that when you are in your car (and the GPS Injector is started) you don't have internet access enabled?
[Android General] Compromise:
My 4G is always on, but for a moment, when I connect my HDMI, WiFi is turned off. Not sure if that affects it or anything.

One thing you can try: when you are sure you have internet access open the GPS Injector app and then stop and start the service manually. Does that enable the license?
