I tried chromecast with my Nexus 4 yesterday when the app updated. I'd say it works much better than thru the PTV3000 - consumes less power it seems as phone doesn't get as hot and battery not totally shot as with the netgear. Lag seems less too. Did not try for video, but browsing pictures from my gallery looked quite decent. However, WiFi connection in car will always be the worse choice due to all the interference in such environment. While it may look fine on the TV in the living room, it could be total disaster at times in the car. Cable beats this by far for now.
[Android General] chico260:
Is This is the correct one ?
[Android General] texbuck:
Yes
[Android General] TEK112:
I don't know what device you have, but that adapter is for devices that need 11 pin MHL connections. I use that adapter on my Note 2 and Note 10.1 2014.

What device do you have?
[Android General] chico260:
Note 3
[Android General] TEK112:
It will work.

Does someone has a LG G3 working with a cable?

I have several problems...
[Android General] ffyter:
Mhl cable slow charge. Possible fix?

Hey folks. I have an issue that has been mentioned here several times. I have the sprint note 3 with one of the cheap mhl adapter cables. Usb end is plugged into 2.1a charger. The charger shows ac when I directly connect my phone to it and usb when I connect through mhl cable. Charging is at 400ma which doesn't keep up with the drain. There is no kernel available for my phone to enable fast charge. Question is, is there anyway to modify the cable to output more power or cut the power wires coming to the micro usb end and wire in a second usb cable to supply better power? This would mean that the mhl and my phone would have their own power supplies. I thought about getting the oem samsung 2.0 adapter but some have said that it still shows usb charging when plugged in.
[Android General] TEK112:
The problem is the adapter. If you were to do a makeshift fast charge it would have to be at the adapter. However, given its size and complexity carrying HDMI, your best best is to try another MHL adapter. You can always return it if it doesn't work. Plus if you buy the official samsung adapter from Best Buy you can test it in the parking lot and return it right away if it doesn't work.
[Android General] poopsmith777:
I would agree with TEK that the solution would have to be in the adapter since there is no fast charge enabled kernel for your phone. However, I really don't see a good solution for you here when using an MHL adapter with your device. I don't know that any MHL device would allow your phone to receive greater amperage than the default 500ma for USB charging without fast charge. You may just have to live with the drain unless you choose to swap devices, use a wireless device/hdmi stick in place of MHL (allowing you to charge your phone directly with the cable), or wait to see if someone develops a kernel with fast charge for your phone. I realize that you already have money invested in the MHL option :/

You could mitigate the effects of a net drain on your battery by using an extended battery. Might be worth a shot if it is not feasible for you to charge your phone upon reaching your destination.

Touch screen issue.

Hi

I see recent post about ppl losing the ability to use touch screen after a OTA for kitkat. i my self also experiencing the same issue after i update my NOTE2 (SGH-i317M). from what i understand its due to Selinux status enforcing. is there anyone found fix for it? ROM or APP that could changed the status to Permissive?

i have one idea but not sure if going to work or will cause more issue. i was thinking to switch to cyanogenmod. question is, is there anyone here using cyanogenmod with ARU, if so how is it working with you? do you have any issue with the Selinux status? or any other issue that you would not recomend to flash it with cyanogenmod.

your suggestion is appreciated.
[Android General] pyrobo0by:
Its because you don't have the tight kernel bro.....its too much to go through in this thread...plus I'm stuck on this stage too..I tried a custom kernel and it wouldn't work so I just stopped until someone point out the correct kernel for touch screen to work

Radio Touch Screen does not work but LG G2 phone screen does

I am having the same problems with a Verizon LG G2 and a APP3 radio. Do I need to set SELinux to permissive mode as well? Thanks for your help.
[Android General] ffyter:
I switched to samsung mhl and it now charges at 1.2a though it shows usb. Problem now is adaptor gets warm as well as phone. I'll keep an eye on it.
[Android General] newtonfb:
Just donated... Hopefully ill join the reloaded testers soon.

I just hooked up my radio and phone but have a couple questions...I've got a nexus 5 and 4000nex

My phone won't go into landscape..

The touchscreen doesn't respond??

Anyway to keep the screen on for the radio while the screen shuts off on phone?

Sorry if answered a million times but I literally just installed mine this afternoon and didn't wanna read through 580 pages.

Thanks again
[Android General] astracd:
For me now one day is working one not... lol annoying
[Android General] Area51©:
You are a Reloaded tester now, welcome.

It seems you don't get a Bluetooth connection. In the HU settings did you set the BT connection to Others and select HDMI input?

There's an app called SecondScreen that seems to work. Search this thread for more details.
[Android General] 400ixl:
No, the LG doesn't have the crappy Knox issue, Samsung only at the moment.
[Android General] Pig Vomit:
Re: Landscape, check your settings in ARU about forcing landscape.

Re: Touchscreen: Connect the phone so that the HU shows your phone's screen. Use the phone to turn bluetooth OFF. Wait a couple seconds. Use phone to turn bluetooth back ON again.

Re: Keep screen on: No.

Hint: HU screen can go full screen by pressing the HU Home Button twice within, I think, 3 seconds.
[Android General] newtonfb:
Thanks. Landscape works great and looks good on HU.

I still can't get touchscreen to work. Just says "connecting" with Bluetooth greyed out so its trying to connect but its already connected via BT.....
[Android General] Area51©:
For AppMode it needs to connect to Bluetooth using SPP (before that it's only connected HFP and A2DP) so that's why it says connecting again.
[Android General] AgentJz:
You can use anything on ar3 while deviceis connected.

Just use y he mix button.
[Android General] astracd:
I have one question... When your app will become official, will then be accepted by Samsung and not blocked with stupid Knox... :fingers-crossed:

Android L?

Has anyone else tried ARU on a Nexus 5 running Android L? It's interesting because the head unit and ARU both seem to connect. I get picture and sound (actually both seem better) but no touch controls. In my bluetooth connection for the head unit I only see phone audio now, not phone and media.

Any thoughts?
[Android General] leobg:
The app requites root to run. I doubt request-root application would be ever approved, so don't hold your breath...
[Android General] 400ixl:
Maybe, as part of Samsung not going down a fork of Android, they appear to have forced Google into implementing SELinux restrictions into L.

So Samsung gets to screw over the rest of the eco system as well. Bigger Evil that Apple these days.
[Android General] GoogleAndroid:
I have a Galaxy S5 and an Appradio 3. According to the appradio app, all that's needed to use apps is a bluetooth connection. I have that, but nothing except bluetooth audio works. I take it I need to get cables. If so, what cables will I need? Also, is it true that there is not bluetooth audio streaming while using a navigation app?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Did you get past page 1 of the manual?

You need an HDMI connection, a Genuine Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter and a USB charging lead.

Once connected in apps mode, the sound goes over HDMI, so there is no need for Bluetooth streaming as HDMI is better quality.

Its all in the manual.
[Android General] GoogleAndroid:
I bought it open box, missing the manuals and remote. I downloaded the appradio app and it said all I needed is a bluetooth connection, which I have.
[Android General] poopsmith777:
Lololol. That's a bit of tin foil you have there ;) Knox is good from an enterprise security standpoint and serves to help Android catch up to phones like Blackberry/Apple as verifiably secure.

However, I would not necessarily want it on my personal device as I don't connect my work accounts on my phone. I just like using the work WiFi ;) there are always going to be methods to get around restrictions like this and the people to figure them out. That is why almost all of us are here ;)

Anyways, back on topic. I ordered the final components for my S3 and SPH-DA100 setup! I can't wait to get it all wired up and working. Excited to experience your fantastic work, Area51 :good:
[Android General] 400ixl:
You are right, it should be enabled as part of an MDM solution for the enterprise, and most users will not notice.

However it should also be easy to work with for those who need to selectively control its effect. That is the flaw in its implementation, especially in the way Samsung deployed Knox.

There are improvements in L from what I have read in this area, but its not there yet. Hopefully by the time it comes out of preview.

Thank you for your help. I had it and speakers installed a few months back and have yet to set up the apps, so I'm going to go get everything I need after work and finally set it all up.

I use beastmode kernel. It charges my phone while watching movies or whatever I am doing. Everything but making calls. It is a slow charge, but it does work. I have the sprint now 3 also
[Android General] defenderctr:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 w/ an AOKP mod and a Pioneer 8500BHS HU.

I haven't installed the system in my car yet but with the help of a portable car battery jumper I've tested

Reloaded

on the HU.

Mostly good, I got the latest version that is supposed to stop the random crashes but it's still happening. Keep in mind though, it merely pops up with the message that Reloaded has "stopped working" I can still see what is happening on the HU and after hitting "OK" to the message it just keeps working like normal. Odd.

After some testing with both Screen Standby and SecondScreen (in an attempt to find a way to shut off the phones screen while still using MHL to port the video to the HU), reading what issues others have and seeing the developer's responses, it appears shutting off the backlight on the S4 is impossible. To all Samsung Galaxy users, you're just out of luck on that front.

I am considering a Sony Xperia Z2 as my next phone but I don't know if that phone has the same issues. If anyone knows if the Z2's screen can be shut off while still using MHL, let me know. Thanks!
[Android General] lpasq:
I have not but wonder if you have access to the AppRadio Unchained Reloaded beta on Google+. If so, why not beta L with the evolved ARUr? You have a better chance of getting ARUr code customization and debugging at an active pace.

Just a suggestion ?

Verizon LG G2 HU Touch Screen does not work

I have a stock V980 LG G2 and a APP3 radio. I can see the phone on the HU and I can control everything from the phone. Everything works except the Appradio touch screen. Touch screen does not work at all. Suggestions??? I feel I am so close to finally getting this to work... but at the same time so frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[Android General] kaderekusen:
Is it now possible to use the touch control from the head unit over bluetooth with streaming wireles the video signal over cromecast??

I have an galaxy s4 stock rom
[Android General] petard:
Yes, but chromecast doesn't work so well. You need to be on the same network but when you leave your house how can you do that? Then the video quality isn't so great and the connection can drop. You'll also need to plug the phone in so it doesn't drain the battery very quickly so you might as well plug the MHL adapter in.
[Android General] kaderekusen:
I have an samsung galaxy s4 with stock rom and i read the threehead since 3 days. I see i have an problem.

selinux enforcing is on at my phone. I think now i cant use ar unchained??

The only way is to flash an other rom.

But i need at home the ability to screen mirroring because i stream sometimes videos Wireless on my TV that funktion is only in the stock rom aviable. I dont want lose this.

Am i right or wrong??

*edit ok i change the status with selinux mode changer from the play store in 1 second and with stock rom. I think i have to do this on every restart. Can tasker do this for me?? Do anybody know how???

Ok tasker can do this automaticly

http://appradioforums.com/Thread-Fi...2-not-passing-Virtual-device-permissions-test
[Android General] petard:
If you're rooted Wanam xposed has a checkbox to disable SELinux.

Otherwise you can go with a clean stock ROM which should support everything. I generally avoid AOSP ROMs on Samsung devices, they never work correctly.
[Android General] ecsnead69:
Does SELinux enforcing need to be off on the LG G2 to use ARU? Thanks
[Android General] Noob_I'm_Not:
No, it is only a problem with Samsung devices...

N_I_N
[Android General] taiguy:
I have the Sprint model, LS980, LG G2 with an APP3 radio. Earlier today I had the same issue you've mentioned, mainly that mirroring was working fine but the head unit touch screen wasn't registering anything - nor were the physical buttons (aside from volume).

It had been working fine the past 3-4 days. I ended up restarting my phone and it started working perfectly again. I'm running stock rooted 4.4.2 with a fast charge kernel. Mirroring worked fine before the custom kernel.
[Android General] newtonfb:
I am still stuck connecting... On the reload app I can get the app to say its connected but on my HU it just stays at the "connecting" screen. The phone is connected via Bluetooth and cable so I don't know what else to do. If I hit the HDMI source I can see the screen but obviously no touch controls. I don't know what else to do....
[Android General] Area51©:
Did you set the Device to Others and the Connection to HDMI like it says on page 20 of the owner's manual?
[Android General] newtonfb:
Yes both those settings are set to others and HDMI....
[Android General] Area51©:
In the table it also states you need to connect USB2 (I guess for power), did you do that?
[Android General] Pig Vomit:
You stock and rooted? If so, try uninstalling ARU, reboot phone, reinstall ARU, reboot phone, connect to HU with HU off, wait for boot up to complete, go to APPS on HU, if no touch, then turn off Bluetooth on phone, wait 10 seconds, turn Bluetooth back on, try again.

If you're not stock, might have something to do with whatever ROM you are using.
[Android General] newtonfb:
I got it working, thanks guys. I didnt have the slimport plugged into the usb port so I guess you were right about that. New question...how do you get rid of the black bars at the top and bottom of screen to make it full screen? Also how accurate is the touch supposed to be? I ask because it works well for the most part but while I was testing it out I tried typing something into google maps and the touch sensors were a little bit off. I just want to make sure thats normal. I did a full calibration of the radio also.

Thanks again!
[Android General] liljohn666:
I have had the same issues. The fix is to off bluetooth and then turn it back on and manually pair it the HU. I have read elsewhere that the G2 has issues with bluetooth auto pairing. I could be wrong but this id just my personal experience and resolution. Other than that I have zero issues. Great app and exactly what I was looking for when i went shopping for a new HU. I will defiently buy reloaded when it comes out officially. Thanks.
[Android General] 400ixl:
4.4.2 in general has Bluetooth issues for many. Improved immensely with 4.4.3 onwards. When the G2 will get it I don't know, even heard they may skip it and go straight to 4.4.4 later.

May be worth considering a custom ROM if issues persist.
[Android General] dredq:
Custom Rom

Any suggestions on which custom ROM for a Lg G2 V980 CDMA to solve these problems. Thanks
[Android General] Theteenystar:
Hey,

When I set up my LG G3 with the AR via wire everything works great.

But then I had to calibrate the Display and when I push the first dot, a message come up and it ends in a loop. So i can't finish the calibration :(

Any ideas? Perhaps the same problem with an other Phone?

Best regards, Karim.
[Android General] stargate125645:
What options do you all have set up on your phones and the head unit to get Google Now to work through the head unit microphone? My phone is on the compatibility list but I cannot get it to work with the AR3.
[Android General] Obrien8403:
I have been using PA on my VS980 and it works great with my newly installed AR3
[Android General] _sky.captain_:
Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks for ARU. I just sent a small donation as a token of my gratitude for this great program.

I posted a while back that I was wondering if this would work with a Droid Maxx. The answer is yes. Here's the way I'm set up, in case anybody else is wanting to go this route:

Bluetooth pairing can be a pain. The basic phone pairing is quick, but audio pairing is touchy. Sometimes I have to shut Bluetooth off and back on. Also, sometimes it works to just go into the Bluetooth settings so that I see the individual services for the radio and clear, and then re-select, the audio (media) service.

I am using the Netgear Push2TV (PTV3000). Other than warning me about performance issues, I have not had problems. Generally, if there are performance issues, it shows up in the form of audio glitching, as another poster pointed out. To resolve this, I make sure I have a Bluetooth connection first (as noted above). I will sometimes also reset the Wireless Display (WiDi) connection. Sometimes, the phone suggests resetting WiDi itself.

I use tasker to detect when I am connected to my car's Bluetooth. One thing that was not obvious to me is that when Tasker asks for a name for the "BT Connected" test, you MUST put the exact Bluetooth device name in there. I thought I was just naming the test in Tasker, so I would put in something like "Connected to my car" but that won't work. For me, it had to be "AppRadio SPH-DA210", exactly.

I cannot find a way to automatically turn on WiDi, so I use Secure Settings instead to launch an activity for "[Wireless Display].WirelessDisplaySettings". That way, all I have to do is turn on WiDi. It also gives me a chance to wait for Bluetooth pairing to complete (I generally wait for the screen on the radio that tells me that the radio is ready to connect, and that I should connect my display. I think that is a screen from the Push2TV device).

My whole ARU profile does this:

Launch App (AppRadio Unchained)

Rotation Locker (Landscape, with background service enabled for persistence)

Display Timeout -> 23 hours

Secure Settings: show WiDi settings, as explained before

...it actually does a little more, but I think those are all the generally interesting parts

Although it is sometimes finicky about Bluetooth pairing, and although the sound is sometimes glitchy, I am very pleased. This is what I want my car radio to be: my phone on a bigger screen. I used it yesterday for about 400 miles of driving, with Waze and either Rhapsody, Pandora, or the XM app active the whole time, and it made the trip so much better.

UPDATE Oh, and I forgot this: do NOT use Screen Standby or anything like that to shut off the Droid Maxx display while the ARU display is on. That worked for me for a little bit, but then it just started rebooting my phone whenever it turned on.

Thanks again for an excellent app,

Chris
[Android General] 400ixl:
4.4.4 with Bluetooth Headset enabled and OK Google detection set to From any Screen. Also worked with 4.4.3, but not with 4.4.2
[Android General] stargate125645:
I'm still on 4.1.2, but that's the phone/version combo listed as compatible on Pioneer's website. I, too, have Bluetooth headset enabled, but since I am not on 4.4 I do not have the activation option for any screen. I do not get voice transfer from the microphone on the head unit. Surely I am doing something wrong.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Even set up correctly it never worked properly until 4.4.3 (occasionally on 4.4.2), not seen anyone to get it to work consistently (if at all) on 4.1.2. Time to go custom or get a new phone if that feature is important.
[Android General] stargate125645:
I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Pioneer would advertise something that doesn't work, huh?

Well, I intend to get a new phone, and it was going to be the HTC One m8 until I discovered it still uses MHL 1.0. Can't find a phone with that hardware and MHL 2.0 other than the Galaxy S5, but Samsung has made hacking the phone impossible for use with our radios. Nexus phones don't have SD cards, and don't work on Verizon, so I'm stuck unless I can deal with crappy MHL 1.0. Not sure when a m8-like phone is coming out with 2.0 or SlimPort.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Its an Android limitation, not Pioneer. The HU is capable, the version of Android you have isn't.

The LG G3 will be available on Verizon very soon I believe.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Pioneer still advertises it as working, even if it is Android's fault. Oh well. So does it not work with any BT headset?

I've been looking at the G3. I only question its rootability since it's so new, and whether it will accept charge while working via SlimPort.
[Android General] 400ixl:
The G3 has been rooted, Verizon version is the unknown as it is not yet released.

All Slimport adapters can run charged, the later ones also support higher charge rates.
[Android General] leobg:
Since I drowned my N5 I'm using HTC One M8 and I have been thru a whole myriad of MHL and SlimPort adapters. With the N5 undoubtedly the Alalogix adapter is the way to go in terms of connection stability. With the M8 I'm using currently a rather cheap one I found on eBay which has the adapter at the HDMI end and both charging and the 5-pin microusb MHL detachable from the adapter, the signal cable is around two feet and since phone is fairly away fro. The adapter I experience almost no interference (lost sync once or twice for a second for the last few weeks), which I consider acceptable. When it happened I noticed the phone was laying on top of the cable, so this might have caued it. Going to put couple of ferrite core filters to see if I can address stuff like that.

About charging - it mostly depends on the fact how hot the phone gets while hooked up. If you have many cpu heavy things running like streaming music and navigation at the same time and especially if phone is exposed to the sun, it gets hot and charging gets reduced automatically to address the overheating concerns. During the winter I never had issue with the N5 not charging. Now with the M8 and the eBay adapter, charging either stays still (doesn't add to the battery, but it doesn't lose charge either) or slowly (compared to normal AC charging) adds to the battery. If the phone is at idle (not doing anything CPU intensive) it charges as fast as on regular ac power. Same was with the N5 before.

If anyone is interested in the MHL adapter I can post links and pics of it.
[Android General] newtonfb:
Guys using N5 and slimport...how did you get rid of black bars on top and bottom of screen? I can't get it to be full screen on HU. Something is screwed up with aspect ratio or something
[Android General] 400ixl:
Got a picture? Very minor on mine (same as the N4) and nothing to cause any sort of annoyance.
