While your at it, why don't you send Pioneer a request for a refund.

You are trying to tell him how to run his business. What on earth tell you that you aren't doing that?

Speaking as a business owner myself (DJ) I get idiots telling me how much I should charge as well; it's offensive. These people have never bought my services but they believe they know my business better than I do.

Based on what exactly?

IMHO this has only come around since the internet and it's anonymity; IE people really do say what's on their minds without any fear of retribution.

I'd like Area 51 to raise the cost even further to alienate YOU. If people find value in his app and taking away from development and personal time to answer the same question (asked ten difference ways) on XDA, you should be more than willing to pay his asking price without question.

It's his development on this app that has me seriously considering buying a new Pioneer HU.

The next purchase after the proper cables and Sirius/XM tuner would be this app, no question.

You can only use the Nexus 6 wireless (Miracast or Chromecast) as it does not support HDMI out (no MHL or Slimport port).
[Android General] djfourmoney:
As I understand it, the Nexus 6 only supports wireless mirroring. I believe Kenwood's top of the line Excelon support wireless mirroring.
[Android General] rmadrid20:
Ok I guess I'll go with the chromecast, sounds better than the miracast
[Android General] spark001uk:
OK, first of all, there's no need to start hurling abuse here, especially since you just said yourself about Internet anonymity etc, so let's calm down eh? I expressed an opinion, as we are all entitled to, and it was replied to. Ok so I thought it seemed expensive on the face of it, it was an observation. I never said I wasn't going to buy the product, I will evaluate it as I was offered to, and make a decision based on what it does for me. In fact, a contributing factor to me buying my pioneer WAS because of this app. Trying to start a witch hunt on here isn't really going to do anyone any good is it?

If I came across as offensive, I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention at all. I will take up your offer and evaluate its features properly.

I do have one question though, will the full touch support work ok over the chromecast/bluetooth combination with my Nexus 6, as it would on an mhl connection? And is qhd resolution supported? Only I did try the AppRadio app, and that clearly doesn't, the icons were tiny! I have also tried normal casting and that works fine.
[Android General] djfourmoney:
Nexus 6 only supports wireless mirroring. I believe it's possible with ARU and a Miracast/Chromecast

https://youtu.be/Ii2GebpoWjE

The point is you didn't buy the product but thought it was your place to lecture somebody about their business.

Wouldn't you find that offense/troubling/rude if the tables were turned?

Put another way, you bought a product and saw how it could be improved. You spent your hard earned money and time developing a product for market without any assurance that you would make your investment back.

I am not going to assume the prices is lower than it should be or higher than it should be; it is what the market will bear and since we are not talking about a mass marketed product but a niche product; I would satisfied 1,000+ downloads and continued FREE advertisement from his loyal consumers who risked spending money initially without any guarantee the product would work.

I also wouldn't be concerned with the mass of people who didn't buy my product; again this isn't mass market. He could make even more money if he developed a Apple app but likely understands how difficult it is to get into the Apple store which is a closed ecosystem and restricted.

This is all off-topic and I maybe should have just let it go. But I think it needs to be said and I have seen this with other apps on XDA, it is not the place of a potential customer to question the tactics of the developer.

Either buy the thing or don't.

Since I was unable to get my n6 working with chromecast and the free version I have been using my n5 as a "media" device running off my n6's hot spot. I would much prefer to just use the n6(no cables is pretty handy), are n6 users only using the paid version and the free one doesn't support the n6?
[Android General] spark001uk:
It's a little tricky to set it up initially. I found I couldn't do it with just the n6 and the chromecast, I had to run the chromecast setup on another device (I used a spare android phone), connected to my n6 hotspot. It should work OK after that, as the chromecast is then happy to receive a cast from the n6 even though it's also the hotspot. It's just the setup that needs to be done from another device.
[Android General] trucktruck:
I have that part down, I just haven't been able to get touch to work.
[Android General] kLeR1k:
Thanks! That thing works:o Sorry, didn't notice this solution in FAQ :(
[Android General] BIGSIKE3:
Ok so very little if any trouble getting ARUR to work on my TMobile Note 4 stock rooted. One thing I didn't notice is since Ive been mia for a long time I had never actually purchased the official app. Well I took care of that, purchased and deseavadly so. Excellent job my friend im a very happy camper once again.
[Android General] JLPDA:
Great App, great developer, great support. This was the best $30 I've spent in a long time!! Not that anyone is asking, but, I think Area51 should pull the FREE ARU and GPS injector from the Play Store and just offer the ARUR an a 30 Day FREE trial (that can be purchased and converted to a licensed copy). Car Home Ultra does this and I'd think this works OK for the developer (and customer). This way Area51 is only supporting one product and one version of the application...and not having to keep answering the same (and sometimes silly) questions that have been answered many times before (ie SELinux in permissive mode).

Insure the continued support and development of this application and purchase ARUR.
[Android General] AliMusa:
I have a Nexus 5 on stock 5.1 Lollipop with the paid version of ARUnchained Reloaded. I can't get it to recognize my phone. It says connecting up to 75% on my head unit and then it fails. What could I be doing wrong?
[Android General] Area51©:
What head unit do you have?
[Android General] AliMusa:
AppRadio 3
[Android General] Area51©:
Did you set the Bluetooth connection setting to 'Others'?
[Android General] AliMusa:
Indeed I have. I used to have ARU on my phone but I installed it onto an android stick, which recently stopped working so I'm trying to get it working on my phone again using a slim port.
[Android General] nycdrifter:
I find that this version is way more functional and less buggy. Not to mention I like the fact that it's automatic. A little pricey but worth the investment. Once I root my new galaxy s6 edge I'll let yall know if it works or not. God I love this phone!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mars.area51.arunchained
[Android General] Area51©:
So Reloaded is stuck in "Negotiating protocol"? If so, try to enable 'Workaround for wrong channel assignment' and try with "Number of Channels to skip" set to 2 or 3.
[Android General] rigattoni:
Sometimes, without seeing a rule for that, my connection get´s lost and I get a snowy screen.

If I take my phone out of the connection I can see, that ARUR crashed without a knowing the reason.

It´s sometime not every time and it´s not a run time related issue. Sometimes the app is killed after a few minutes and sometimes after an hour or more.

I tried to get traces, but every time I use the CatLog I don´t get the system down... But I was able to send crash reports sometimes.

Any idea what happens and how to fix it?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Snowy screen is usually a failing MHL or HDMI adapter. Try replacing these first and see if having a stable connection stops it getting into a mess and falling over.
[Android General] sportbikedave:
Samsung Galaxy S5 with lollipop (Sprint stock with root) working with ARU Reloaded with my AVIC-8100nex (SE mode enforced) . This was the ONLY solution to getting any type of mirroring working with a Samsung Galaxy S5 with this HU. Worth every penny of $30 USD!
[Android General] rigattoni:
Thanks for answer, but in this case it is not the reason for this issue.

What I can say is, that ARUR stops working (touch panel is not working anymore), before the MHL connection is killed. Seems to be a follow up failure, after ARUR dropped off. If I pull off the phone and look what happened, I can see that ARUR stopped unexpected with the mandatory error message to be send out to google.

I had a stable connection since a couple of months and nothing changed in the set up. Once the connection has been refused and reconnected, the connection keeps stable for hours. the behavior switched with one of the last 2 ARUR updates.
[Android General] Area51©:
I don't see how Reloaded or any app can actually cause video snow. It seems more likely that your issue is a bad MHL connection somehow and that Reloaded can't handle that well. Do you have 'Start/stop on HDMI...' enabled? If the MHL connection is bad somehow that might cause the connection service to be started/stopped very often in a short time. Combined with also switching Bluetooth on and off I think this may easily cause a crash. Maybe for the automatic stop on HDMI disconnection I should add some delay.
[Android General] tech by trade:
Its your MHL adapter. The cheap ones suck. I am on my third in 2 years.
[Android General] alamoaz:
I have had 3 different MHL cables and no luck getting rid of the snow unless I turn it on airplane mode, which is useless. Getting the galaxy 6 on Saturday and hoping it will work better than my S3.
[Android General] rigattoni:
All I can say is, that first of all the touch stops working (red hand on top of the screen), but the screen keeps working normal.

Some seconds later the MHL stops working and ARU runs into an error.

I didn´t point at any time on ARUR. ;) ...and I´m sure it´s not ARUR which is the reason for my issue, I´m just searching for a solution.

May be it´s the combination of ROM and Firmware, I don´t know, but I would appreciate that ARUR could handle unexpected behavior without resetting.

I got 2 original CD-AH200 from trustworthy shops and both have the same issue with no time related symptomatic.... from day to day different, so it´s hard for me to say when it happens.

Even the complete cables have been exchanged, nothing helped yet

May be it´s the radio itself, just now I haven´t got the faintest idea where to search.... :(

Any other ideas, guys?

What can be excluded is:

MHL converter

USB cables

HDMI cable

Hardware details:

HTC one M7

ElementalX kernel 20.1

Eragon ROM

Nova Prime launcher #materinova.26

SPH-DA110 SW version: Ver8.05

CD-AH200

By the way...

For a new release I would like to get some intents to control ARUR with Tasker for some special things like:

Switching the app into listening mode,

Stopping the connection,

App-exit.

... but these are only some nice to have features. :cool:
[Android General] Area51©:
It could be a bad USB connection on the phone. Or if it's RFI somehow you can test it by putting your phone in airplane mode and then enable only Bluetooth. Of course you can't make calls then so only do it for testing. If it doesn't happen then, it's probably that the phone's radio signal disturbs the HDMI signal due to bad shielding. Did you also replace the HDMI cable?
[Android General] rigattoni:
Hmm... should be possible that the RFI is the reason. I will try out the next days.

Yes the HDMI cable has been replaced with a good one from my home theatre. We´ll see what happens the next days.

Thanks for giving me support in fiddling out the reason for this behavior. I really appreciate that! :good:
[Android General] 400ixl:
Also worth trying the OEM ROM as many of the custom ROM's (especially anything Cyanogenmod based) have real issues with HDMI out stability.
[Android General] alamoaz:
Is there any fix for the RFI?
[Android General] rigattoni:
Yes, thanks.

I will try out too, but afaik there should no issue with this ROM.... but who knows... ;)

Hi everyone !

I have a question for those who are using a Chromecast on their Appradio !

How did you do to make it work ?

I juste received one and I cannot use it if I don't have an Internet connection ... and I can't use it if I'm sharing my Phone connection as the wifi is off !

So how did you manage to make it work ?

Edit : My bad, it's working now, I may have been too fast the first time :).

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

Ok so I've tested Chromecast on the Appradio and it seems to work nice :).

I've only seen one "problem" : I've read that it was possible to still cast the screen even if the phone screen was off but it's not working in my case. Is it normal ? Something special to do ?
[Android General] AliMusa:
Finally got ARU working with my Nexus 5 on 5.1 on my AR3. However, my GPS is very inaccurate at times and randomly loses signal. What could be the cause of this?

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

ARUR with a chromecast? This is news to me. How does this work? Is there a tutorial available somewhere?
[Android General] Area51©:
In the menu select GPS, what status is shown? If it says something like Not injecting then from the menu do 'System app enable' and reconnect.
[Android General] stadros83:
Not sure that there is a tutorial on the web.

But it's "simple", the Chromecast is only here to mirror you're phone. So you still need a phone with ARU on it.

problem, touch not working

a few weeks ago i found out about ar unchained and gave it a try on my galaxy s3, rooted it and gave SU permissions. mirroring the S3 home screen and such worked but not able to touch the screen. i borrowed a galaxy s4 and did the same thing, but still the same problem. i tried the three potential fixes mentioned on the first post, to ensure SELinux is set to permissive but i didnt have any good luck. also to be clear, i was able to open up appradio and calibrate pressing the dots. afterwards, i loose touch response. i am contemplating getting an android hdmi stick to see if i have better luck, but maybe im just missing something or doing something wrong.

i have been wondering the last few days, do i need the App Radio Mode HDMI USB Interface Cable for this to work?

i have appradio3 (pioneer sph-da110).

hoping to get some help here, thanks so much :)
[Android General] 400ixl:
If you are getting the phone image on the HU then the cables are right and it sounds like you haven't got SELinux in permissive mode. There are some US carriers with locked bootloaders that mean you can't change SELinux mode.

The full version you can buy from the app store does not need SELinux in permissive mode as it works around it.
[Android General] mikek753:
another ideas

1. check for HDMI connection on AR side

2. check AR for enabled AV connection

press Mode on AR multiple times
[Android General] FingerBlastJ:
Just did some testing on this even though i dont have genuine mhl hooked up yet, running on fake one.

Touch works, hardware keys work and dont have steering wheel controls to test.

However, the MHL adapter disables gps lock on.

The moment i unplug the mhl adapter, gps locks on and i get navigation directions.

Once i plug it back in, it seems to work, but i didnt drive anywhere to really find out.

Does anyone know if the genuine mhl adapter will stop this problem from happening?

Also, the phone runs really slow when connected to mhl as well. Im on a custom rom Moar 5.1 4.1.2 with VZW.
[Android General] bodieism:
Sounds like Screen Standby. Do you happen to be using that app? If so, test it without that app running. If it clears up your issues you could activate One Two dim mode as a workaround. Works decent on my S4.
[Android General] mikek753:
I have the same issue, but I'm on Samsung OEM MHL with AT&T S3

Pls. keep posted if you find the solution.
[Android General] Area51©:
It's only possible to use the SWC-commands that the radio is able to send (determined by the radio firmware).

It is possible that the radio recognizes the commands for ff and rewind. To check this make a logcat and when

that's running press the keys you want to try. For details see the FAQ at post #3.

After you have saved the logcat check whether it contains the following line:

Don't know how to translate RemoteCtrlInfo = <number>.

Where <number> is some number.

If so then I can add those commands.

[Android General] papa3r:
how about audio mix setting on the HU....it supposed to be off
[Android General] Sean_S:
I'm in the US. Running ATT Galaxy S3, Android 4.1.1 stock, rooted. Using the Samsung MHL adapter with power supplied from the radio (AR3), my battery DOES charge while running ARU v.13. The screen on my phone is set to "auto" and I have the flip cover, which, when closed, effectively makes the phone screen go to it's lowest brightness. "Power saver" is enabled on the phone as well.

I am not using screen standby or tasker for anything.

I have no issues with charging while running "car home ultra", "dash command" connected to OBD BT adapter, and streaming my DVR through "slingplayer".

If I let ARU and "car home ultra" running in the background, w/in 10 secs from the AR3 booting it will all be connected and functioning. AR3 immediately launches "android" as if I have made the selection (this only happens if I let ARU run in the background on my phone).

ARU is a great app, by the way.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Can anyone describe the functionality of the Google voice command feature of the AppRadio 3? What does it work with, how to activate it, etc.?
[Android General] Sean_S:
It's merely using the function from your phone. So it will work as well as there, the only difference being the BT link to the AR3's microphone.
[Android General] FingerBlastJ:
Yes i have SS but i disable it to see if it was the mhl that was causing the issue. Both the mhl and SS were causing the issue. With SS active, nothing would work except for tune in radio. With SS deactivated the only thing not working was gps.

I have similar issue

I already posted about it and I have OEM Samsung MHL - so the adapter isn't issue

my phone gets crippled the moment it connects to MHL to HDMI

GSM, WI-FI , GPS all get impacted as result nothing works as other apps depends on those services
[Android General] Sean_S:
Just taking a stab here, but the first thing I would rule out is EM interference/noise on the HDMI or the USB. One thing you could try is to rule out noise in the USB: Use a "cigarette lighter"-based USB adapter to power the MHL adapter.

With mine I noticed that noise is being picked up by the amplifier and coming out the speakers as high-pitched "squeal". I found I could move the phone and MHL adapter around and the noise would change in tone, or increase/decrease. I place them in the "best" spot to minimize.

On a related, but tangential note, when using MirrorLink was getting loss of USB synch, so I looped the USB cable coming from the AR3 through a ferrite core at the phone end and the droupouts ceased. These things indicate that there is noise in and around my system. Automobile ignition systems are notorious for introducing noise. You can get HDMI and USB cables with integrated ferrite cores. I have seen ferrite cores fix noise problems on HDMI as well.
[Android General] stargate125645:
How do you activate it, though? It just pulls up Google voice search and functions as though I had done so with the phone itself, even if I'm not in ARU or the head unit home screen? It really is useless if I can't call someone, tell it what music to play, or navigate to a location with voice prompts from within other applications.
[Android General] Sean_S:
Maybe I'm missing something, but I had to tap the microphone icon in the google voice app.
[Android General] oneinthisworld:

[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
I'm not sure how to check on a nexus. On my galaxy s5, its under settings/about phone at the very bottom. Is your phone rooted? There's an app on play store to change to permissive but only works with root, search SELinux Mode Changer or something like that. Or just buy the paid app and support the dev, and don't worry about the SELinux stuff.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Assume you are on Android 5.x and are rooted? If so, install SELinuxMode Changer from the Play Store and set it to permissive.

Alternatively, put your hand in your pocket, support the developer, buy the full app which does not need SELinux in permissive mode.
