Off topic...

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can trade in my appradio 2 so I can upgrade?
[Android General] mikek753:
thanks for the reply.

I posted here my question as in Screen Standby thread not many aware how to use phone with Appradio

Yes, I tried those setting and it worked only 1st time :confused:

the next time (no phone reboot) phone started slowdown and hanging while trying connect to waze server.

Yes, after reboot I checked overlay again

what I don't understand is that with SS&root I didn't get less battery drain and phone was hot after 30 min driving, incoming 0.5A wasn't enough to compensate usage drain :confused:

Anyone with S3 able to remain battery on the same level? and how?

I have data and gps on.

thanks.
[Android General] jdpdata:
Your phone will get hot because you got many of its built in radios going at same time - BT , gps, 3g. My phone gets to 120+ easily after 30min of use even with Screen off. Charging while all the radios are active produces more heat too. Try unplugged

Charging cable it should lowers temperature.

I'm getting an external BT Gps module to avoid from using my phone internal gps to hopefully cut down on heat. As far as battery drainage you can try hardwired solution I've posted few pages back. But again it will cause lots of heat. No good solution that I can find unfortunately with this setup. Heat goes along with battery drainage.
[Android General] bodieism:
In order to maintain a charge on a S3 you would probably need to look into flashing a kernel that supports fast charging. As for the heat, it could be related to where you store your phone. When I had my Note 2, I stored it in the center console, which unfortunately, gets insanely hot after awhile. Even after I installed some insulation the phone would still start overheating after about and hour and a half of driving... probably due to the fact that there is no air circulation in the console. For long trips I have a longer MHL cable so that I can just stick the phone in the cup holder. I've never had a phone overheat on me when it was stored out in open.

Screen Standby causes lag on the head unit

I have the same problem where Screen Standby causes an extreme lag on the pioneer head unit. Not sure anything has changed since the last time I tried with version the .0.1.4 version of ARU, but I just upgraded, and the only thing I am noticing different is that the auto rotation isnt working. I have all the requisite apps, Notification Toggle, Tasker, Screen Standby, etc.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

Not sure if there is a change log, other than what was listed on this thread, but but I just upgraded to ARU 0.1.6 and the only thing I am noticing right out of the gate that is different is that the auto rotation isnt working. I have all the requisite apps, Notification Toggle, Tasker, Screen Standby, etc. Technically I think I had the free version of tasker, but I just bought it, and am going to donate more money if I can get this working.

Thanks!

AppRadio3 with LG G2 Verizon

Hey guys - I am new to this forum and the AppRadio3. This thing awesome and I cant wait to get it completed. But, for some reason I am not able to get the ARUnchained app to connect with my Appr Radio3. I have the Analogix Slimport and a highend HDMI cable plugged in. No matter what sequence, i never get the "USB connection" image on the ARUnchained app. What could be wrong.. a bad root, bad install? I have done everyting but re root.

My phone was doing fine with just mirroring the phone (no screen controls), but this morning the audio started sounding like crap. Maybe something is just not right. Any help would be very cool.

*I tried to fix it myself and search, but here i am. :confused:

appradio 2 problem. Please HELP!

Hi, I just installed an app-radio 2. I am running ARUnchained through my Sprint Note 3 (rooted) and I cannot get sound out of any apps. The only app that I get sound out of is pandora. However, what is odd is that I can open Spotify, return to the appradio home page, open Pandora, and then I can listen to Spotify. I am perplexed and I need help.
[Android General] jdpdata:
First check to make sure you're rooted properly.

Then make sure you have BT connection with the AR3, don't plugged in your SlimPort cable yet.

Touch controls is transmitted via BT. Sounds like you don't have pairing between your phone and AR3.
[Android General] mikek753:
make sure you can connect to TV over hdmi, sometimes it's bad (aftermarket) hdmi adapter

ipod and android simultaneously

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the app, it's wonderful. I am stumped with one thing though and I was hoping someone could help. I'm using an appradio 3 and trying to use my note 2 and ipod classic at the same time and I can't seem to get the audio from the ipod playing at the same time as the android interface is up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm so close to perfection and this is my last step.

Hmm.. Wonder if Chromecast will work with AppRadio?

A51 what do you think?

http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...ones-screen-if-you-have-a-google-nexus-5.html
[Android General] Compromise:
Everything is working well so far, thanks again Area51. The only issue I have is how SlimPort only takes in ~100 mmA of charge when plugged in the car when my phone is fully mirrored. Kinda strange.. the charge would range from 15 to 100ish. If I only use the powersource from the SlimPort (unplugging the HDMI), I get around 250 mmA from my car. I tried this with two separate SlimPorts.. same results. Any thoughts on this guys?
[Android General] Globetrotter1006:
Hi.

I have:

Samsung Galaxy 4 + Stock KitKat 4.4.2 + Root

Pioneer AVH- 8500BT

The application is installed , started, connects to the radio .

When calibrating the display points to respond to touch screen radio.

But after the calibration and go to the desktop appradio phone stops responding to screen taps radio.

At the same time the original application AppRadio 2.6.0 adequately responsive to touch .

When switching to 4.4.2 , Arliberator stopped working , found your program. All hope for you!)

Please solve this problem, or tell me what I'm doing wrong ( ( (

Overall, thank you very much for the app !
[Android General] Area51©:
It is very likely that your root is not 100% working so you should check that. With Samsung often root seems to be ok when it actually doesn't allow access to the /dev/uinput device which is required for system touch/key input. For calibration the original touch events are used. After calibration a switch is done to injecting on system level.
[Android General] Globetrotter1006:
Maybe ...

This log SuperSU I have:

chmod 666 /dev/uinput

then, in the same moment:

chmod 666 /dev/uinput
exit

But is there a way to deal with this problem?
[Android General] Area51©:
It's something in your Android system that doesn't allow proper access. So you have to fix it there. It's not something that can be fixed in the app.
[Android General] sjorge3442:
Since I've been using ARUnchained for a while now I've enjoyed the app. It works great and does what its supposed to. I have three questions that will lead me to the PERFECT setup for me.

1) What is the best way to shut off the screen on my HTC one while using the appradio

2) How can I enable my phone to allow me to use the one finger pull down from the status bar? I can only use a two finger drag and then switch using the toggle to get back to the regular notification drop down.

3) How can I increase charge rate on my phone? I've installed Elemental kernel and enabled usb fast charge, but I dont think that works around the MHL vs USB difference.

Thanks everyone.
[Android General] cheesebox:
I get this problem too with my LG G2. I think it is a problem with the LG G2 as the slimport apparently does support fast charging, just not with all phones. This may be the same for Nexus 4 and 5 too.
[Android General] Log[]:
To all with charging Problems. The Problem is that MHL 2.0 only supports

900mA

output. By undervolting my HTC one i was able to maintain the charge wit navigation (TomTom) and music playing + external bluetooth GPS mouse.

Solution:

Wait for MHL 3.0 which supports charge rates up to 2 A (10W). The first handset with MHL 3.0 is the new Sony Xperia Z2
[Android General] sjorge3442:
are you able to undervolt your phone on the fly? I thought this was only possible from within the kernel, thus allowing you to only choose one setting and keep that permanent.
[Android General] cheesebox:
The LG G2 (and other phones such as the Nexus 4 and 5) use the Slimport connection, rather than MHL.
[Android General] Log[]:
Slimport is limited on 500mA on most Adapters.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Kind of, all will support 1A quite happily with the right Kernel.

The 1002 version of the Analogix adapter only supports 500mA without a Fast Charge Kernel, the 1003 adapter will do 1A in AC mode with the right hardware, or with a fast charge kernel.

I for example run the 1003 with a Nexus 4 OEM ROM and the Franco kernel and it will charge in a positive fashion whilst running connected to the AppRadio.
[Android General] Log[]:
For navigation and music and charging you need more i think 1,5 A should be enough.

I use ElementalX kernel and viper rom on my HTC One

Chromecast and Nexus 5

I posted this early, but got no response from anyone.

Do any of you think we can use Chromecast to Mirror Nexus 5 to our AppRadio Head Units?

From Koush's video, I saw very little lag, but he's using Apple TV.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...-mirroring-currently-for-rooted-nexus-5-only/
[Android General] 400ixl:
1A works fine on the AppRadio as it has its own GPS. On the 8500 you will need more if you use the phone GPS.

However thats not an issue as Slimport will feed that if the power source does. So a 2A supply will do the job.
[Android General] foornath:
I just bought the official Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter to fix the snow problems I've been having with my GS3 connection. Question, will I

have

to run a direct power source with 900MA to the adapter, or will the adapter run off of the AR USB connection okay? I have an extended battery on my phone, so I don't mind if it drains while I have it plugged in.
[Android General] Vissionary:
Oh it will, but you'll go negative. A direct hardwire isn't necessary. Just use a USB dc charger, they can be found on amazon fairly cheap. I'm using a 2.1 amp charger with a fast charge kernel and it charges my N5 just fine.
[Android General] Log[]:
That is the problem mhl also has its own powersource but you dont know the internal wiring. Many users report battery drain by using slimport and heavy tasks. A second problem is the charger ic of the phone which is diffferent in different models and therefore has different maximum current input. At the moment i have a very minir drain maybe 1% per hour when i use navigation music and bluetooth. So its ok for me but i look firward to use the Z2 which is a really nice phone
[Android General] 400ixl:
Ypu can't use MHL and slimport in the same sentence, they are two entirely different solutions.

The G2, N% and N4 all use the same internal charging component from what I have seen in the tear downs. The only reason that someone should see a power drain is 1) the USB charger is not up to the job b) the kernel is not allowing AC charging.

Fix those and it will positively charge.

I have found with Franco Kernel that for some reason it will sometimes not reset the fast charge flag on a reboot which means it will not fast charge until that is set properly.
[Android General] Compromise:
Yea.. I also have a G2, running 4.2.2. CleanROM, maybe a different rom/kernel will solve this.

Also, does anybody else have their bluetooth options and dialpad greyed out? I can't seem to use those features. I have the AR3
[Android General] weazrbmxr:
Almost got it.....

So after 2 weeks of troubleshooting and f__ing with settings, i almost got it. But then i don't, after getting the official Samsung MHL adapter we got it working, touches were sent, audio & video played through the HU, everything, but then we forgot the e-brake bypass wasn't installed. So my installer put that in (2mins literally!) and now under settings it shows a connection type of: iPhone (digital AV) instead of Others, which it did before. And when in mirror mode i can't touch anything, i get a red X with a finger so no responses are sent to the phone. Also the bluetooth seems wonky and won't always connect properly, which it did before with no issues ever and did it all automatically.

The 1 thing i didn't do in troubleshooting is a reset of the HU, my "system reset" option is grayed out and isn't selectable, anyone else have this? Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
[Android General] chico260:
Been searching the thread to see if anyone successfully connected an appradio 3 to the note 3 4.4.2.. I saw a couple post but nothing of how they did it or if it worked .. I did see where 4.3 jb was compatible. . Any help would be appreciated. . Thinking about purchasing an appradio 3
[Android General] Area51©:
What probably happened was that during the bypass install the continuous power was removed which resets the HU. The default connection setting is IPhone (because Apple users are not used to setting anything) so it was set to that. All you need to do is to set it to Other. This however can only be done when nothing is connected (no HDMI and no bluetooth). So just make sure your phone is not connected to the MHL adapter and bluetooth on your phone is off before you switch on your HU. Then you will be able to set the connection type on your HU.
[Android General] bennetski:
Just thought I would let everyone know KToonz has just released a new kernel that has added a variable fast charge. Basically you can custom set the rate of charge through USB. This solves all slow charging from car chargers and maybe the AR itself but I haven't tried it yet
[Android General] Log[]:
They have diffferent batterys and therefore need different charger ICs and you cant really see by a teardown which charger ic they use. If they use all the same then you can specifiy the maximum amps by a resistor network on the input of the ic. There are so many variables which have to match it really sucks :(

If someones device is loading + heavy usage + mhl / slimport please make a video displaying the current with a battery monitor app.

Important:

So guys i opened a MHL-Adapter and soldered a second USB-Power Cable on the outgoing mhl Cable + and -. Now i have 2 Parallel voltage sources the (extra usb cable and the orogoninal usb cable which goes into the adapter) and therefore more current. I was able to load the mobile phone with 170-280 mA while navigation and music was on. I Tried a Benchmark and there was only a minus current of 50 mA which is awesome. Now i Think the phone itself also limits the current input. These tests were made with a nearly stock rom and Kernel and no over or underclocking/ volting.

Maybe in the next days i will build a board to measure the real current with a multimeter.

USB Disabled?

Everything typically works great with my setup (HTC One, ARU, and tasker) but yesterday I started getting this error...

Restarting the unit (turning the car off and on again) NEVER works and I've tried restarting the phone too. What causes this to happen?
[Android General] stayupthetree:
Ok everyone Landscape is easily fixed with Tasker & Rotation Locker.

1. Install Tasker & Rotation Locker

2. Open Tasker

3. The first screen should be 'Profiles' . Hit the + symbol on the bottom center of the screen and choose a profile name.

4. A little window should pop up with some options. Choose 'State' -> 'Net' -> 'Bluetooth Connected'.

5. The next screen should be 'State Edit'. Choose the magnifying glass icon to the right of 'Name'. It will list all paired BT devices. Choose AppRadio

6. Go back. A small window should pop up saying 'New Task'. Choose 'New Task' and name the task whatever you want

7. You should now be at the Task Edit screen. Click the + to add an action.

8. Choose 'Plugin' -> 'Rotation Locker'

9. A new window will appear for editing the action. Choose the 'Edit' button to the right of 'Configuration'

10. Set orientation to 'Landscape' and hit back. Hit back again. Hit back Again.

11. Done.

To do the reverse.

1. Open tasker.

2. Hold the previously created profile til the options appear and choose Clone.

3. Choose the cloned profile and it should expand downwards showing you the steps.

4. Choose where it says 'Bluetooth Connected *radionamehere*'

5. On the screen that comes up, check the box labeled 'Invert'. Now go back.

6. On the expanded profile choose the part that says 'Rotation Locker.....' Now choose Rotation Locker again on the next screen. Choose 'Edit' and choose 'Portrait' or 'Auto' whichever you prefer.

7. Go back. Go back again. Go back again.

8. You are all done.

Now when your phone connects to the AR it will automatically go landscape regardless of the actual phones orientation. When you disconnect it will revert to normal.

Hope this helps someone as I see alot of folks talking about needing landscape.

If you see an error in my instructions let me know.

I might work on screenshots later if anyone needs them.
[Android General] Area51©:
I made a version with invert X/Y enabled. I sent you a pm where you can download it.

I tried it with my MK908 stick but I get a terrible lag. It's like 5 seconds when I drag something

across the screen. It seems somehow bluetooth is extremely slow. Same when I use the

unmodified Pioneer App.

Anyway, I hope it works better for you. Let me know.
[Android General] stayupthetree:
Now for my next bit of advice. The following app 'Edges' works flawlessly(at least for me) in combination with AR Unchained and AppRadio. If you want quick access to apps of your choosing its amazing! Im only using the free version, but it has a pro version as well.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reactivstudios.android.edge.free

Just set it and forget it. I swipe my finger from the left of my AR unit to the right and I choose any number of options. App switching, home screen, disable various settings, open app drawer, on and on.

Like I said, works beautifully with AR Unchained and I have no need for a navbar to get to my homescreen.

It actually works flawlessly on the headunit and kinda ****ty on the phone lol

[Android General] gts24:
This should be in the first post ,a bullet point or whatever else. MOST of the MHL adapters on Amazon and Ebay are FAKE garbage.

Either get one from samsung.com or .... perish the thought, best buy. I had some left over gift cards for best buy and I got my MHL adapter from there.

If you're gonna run all these cables through your dash, make it worth it.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
i thought that even with the pioneer kit you MUST have the MHL TIP adapter.....

otherwise it wont work...
[Android General] stewbuntu:
I 100% agree, I'm sure you have a fake 5to11 pin adapter. I got one from Amazon for my note 2, the real ones from Samsung work perfect and

I have not had snow sine the change

The new setup works great! Pandora auto turns off when I exit the car! LOVE IT... Anyway, All the buttuns are great, having a working home button is great as well, to go from pandora to home to maps/anywhere else. I wish it auto connected as well and bluetooth does and works with the tseering wheel. It took bluetooth protocols years to get that good though, so maybe in a couple years we will have wifi video and auto connect in our cars with no hassles.

I did notice that it works better with less warning screens if you plug it in, then start the car.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Hi. I bought everything and will install tomorrow. I got the s4. The 5to11 I got from Amazon along with the pioneer android cable kit. Ur saying that I will most likely get snow? What should I do? Send back the cable kit n buy what? Or the pioneer android kit along with a new bought from Samsung.com 5 to 11 adapter will do the trick? Thanks.
