Chromecast "Could not communicate with your chromecast"...

Good morning everyone. I have been going out of my mind trying to get the chrome cast to work with my setup. I keep getting "could not communicate with your chromecast" during setup; however, i can cast my screen for a short duration (about 2-5 mins) before it disconnects.

Current setup: appradio 2, chromecast, Verizon SGS3 w/4.4.2 (rooted w/ towelroot), ARUR (paid), and even though i have a wifi hotspot subscription through Verizon i purchased the FoxFi (paid) in order to get it to work.

So i have been using my tablet (Nexus 7 circa 13') and my SGS3 for initial setup. This has been problematic; however, i did have one successful "setup" while connected to my home network. When i tried to setup the chromecast on my SGS3 hotspot through FoxFi it runs through all the phases until it gives me the "could not communicate with your chromecast" error. Then it points me towards the wifi settings for the fix. After the error occurs i am able to run the chromecast app and jump right to cast screen and i am able to temporarily connect and operate my appradio2/chromecast/ARUR flawlessly until it looses connection within 2-5 mins. i am not sure whats going on here. Any help would be appreciated. I scoured the web and this forum looking for answers and have thus far been unfruitful.

You need root rights. It works if you download terminal emulator, then do su first and one of the commands as mentioned before. How to do it in Tasker I don't know as I don't use it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lcsiew:
yup im using terminal emulator and keyed in 'su' first but still getting the error

ok i think i know the answer already..

it is because SElinux is set as Enforcing, thus preventing the ActivityManager to be started

It works on my Nexus 6 with SELinux in enforcing mode. Have you granted root access to terminal emulator?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lcsiew:
yup my terminal emulator has root access

here is what i typed in the terminal

su

am startservice mars.area51.arunchained/.unchainedservice.CommService

when i type "am" only, the command is recognized

but whenever i type "am" + extensions, it will return error type 2

I'm getting a weird problem lately, It seems to be since I updated the app, I wonder if you can help me.

App radio has stopped launching automatically, when I open the App(with a mouse attached) it is prompting for permission to turn on/off bluetooth. If I hit allow and start the service everything will work fine until I reboot and I'll have to plug the mouse in, open the app, select allow to the bluetooth prompt, select start.

I'm using an MK809iii HDMI stick with a custom rom which was working for the last 6+ months .

I've tried:

Re-installing ARU

Deleting the Bluetooth Pairing

Updating the SU app and removing ARU and Adding again

I've went into the settings and enabled system app(might this have anything to do with it?) but it doesn't seem to save this option. If I do the diagnostics its unchecked. and everything else is checked

Hi all!

I am having an issue where my BT connection between phone app and HU seems to drop and I get a message on the HU about making sure that the app on the phone is started and ARUR app says that it's listening for a connection from HU. Sound is still coming through HDMI, so music still plays, but no video or controls. It eventually reconnects, but tends to drop now and then. If I restart the phone, it seems to be fine for a while, but then tends to drop connection randomly.

I'm running an LG G3 with latest Cloudy Lolipop ROM (rooted, etc). Are there any tips on monitoring the BT communication for diagnostics?

Lollipop ROM on Kindle Fire HD

I bought an AppRadio 3 last December, along with a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I thought root would be available soon after, but I am still patiently waiting. :crying:

Until then I'm trying ARUnchained on several other devices. I recently installed a custom Lollipop ROM on my old Kindle Fire HD 7. It's rooted, and I have the Amazon HDMI converter for the device, but it never makes the connection to the headunit. I've tried several setting changes, but nothing seems to work. Would this be a possible configuration to get working, or am I out of luck?

Thanks!

FM frequency change

Hi guys,

I recently purchased a Pioneer SPH-DA210 (Appradio3) from ebay in the U.S, as they're not sold locally where I live (New Zealand)

I've run into a major issue for me, and I know it's a long shot but I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out... The FM tuner on the unit is set to only tune to odd numbered frequencies, i.e. 96.1, 96.3, 96.5 etc. Where I live, most radio stations are on even frequencies, 99.2 etc. I can't seem to find a solution for this and I wondered if anyone here had an idea.

One thing that I thought of, which I realise is quite unlikely, but is there anyway for the android device connected via the AR Unchained Reloaded app to control the FM tuner at all? Having no FM radio is a bit of a deal breaker for me so I'm really open to any suggestions at this point.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
The way the tuner works is determined by the firmware only. Well, not even by the firmware as the US and European firmware files (that has also even frequencies) are exactly the same. So it's a configuration of the firmware that is probably read from eeprom. Unfortunately it's unknown how this exactly works and can be changed.

Moving from GS4 to GS5 w/ ARUR

So once again I've perused a number of forum threads but haven't really found a definitive answer for this question. After rolling back to KitKat from Lollipop, I'm running the following setup with a Verizon Galaxy S4 and it runs pretty much flawlessly:

Pioneer AVH-4000NEX (firmware 1.08)

Samsung MHL/HDMI Adapter (genuine... not a knockoff)

ARU Reloaded (v. 0.24)

I have a new Galaxy S5 (with KitKat) sitting in its box at home which I plan to root, keeping KitKat, and set up like my S4 after I activate it. Will my current setup work with the S5? Are there any problems I should expect? Should my MHL/HDMI adapter still work?

Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adriantaylor09:
Thanks for the reply.

Out of interest, do you know if I'd have the same problem with the SPH-DA120 (appradio 4)? In their product description it says:

"You can even enter an AM/FM frequency directly, using the unit's on-screen keypad (0-9)"

Does anyone know from experience whether that means I can key in an even frequency like 91.2 or 91.4 etc?

Yes it should

Does the head unit have a GPS fix then? GPS injection starts when the head unit starts to send the data. When the head unit doesn't have a GPS fix yet, it sends no data. I don't think there's any way to improve that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I think it depends on where you order the SPH-DA120. If you order from the US there's a big chance it will only have the odd frequencies. If you order locally or from Europe it will have the even frequencies as well.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grandmasterorge:
Hi Guys,

I have been struggling with getting this to work for a while now and have left it for a while but am now back on trying to get it to work.

I have a Google Nexus 4 running on Android 5.0 (Build LRX21T, kernel 3.4.0) and Appradio Unchained Reloaded Alpha 0.24, I have connected this to the rear of the head unit (Pioneer SPH DA-100) using a slimport connector and a HDMI cable, both of these have been tested on my TV and provide a working HDMI output to the TV.

ARU app connects to my headunit via bluetooth and gets to the waiting for HDMI signal part, sometimes it needs a little wiggle of the cable but then it seems to connect and the Apps and Pandora icons which are normally greyed out on my headunit light up, I am then presented with the screen asking me to apply, release and apply the parking brake in order to proceed, the OK button at the bottom is greyed out. I live in the UK and had assumed that my headunit was the European version, but does this indicate it is actually the US version and I need to install the brake bypass to allow HDMI input or is it more likely that my light green parking brake cable is incorrectly grounded? It is currently spliced into part of the power input cable but the previous owner did this so I have no real knowledge of what is going on there. The orange sticker on the top references connecting the parking brake wire.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
You need to earth the parking brake wire at the very least, but the fact it has the Pandora Icon suggests it has the North American firmware on it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grandmasterorge:
It looks to me like the previous owner has attempted to ground it into the existing wiring loom, should I just cut the green wire and earth it to something and see what happens? I'm suspicious it is the North American version due to the mention of parking brake on both the on-screen warning and on the sticker.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grandmasterorge:
FIXED!

OK so I went to flash the latest version of the EU firmware which is 8.30, it turned out I already had 8.30 installed, I carried on regardless and installed the .yuk file first followed by the .hat. Once I had finished I no longer had Pandora on the main page which was the first positive indication! I plugged the phone in via HDMI/Slimport and lo and behold I could get video on screen. The video is incredibly temperamental and cuts out if you move the phone in the slightest but I am putting this down to a poor slimport adapter (local Maplin, I will be returning it), it seems like there are lots of problems with slimport adapters.

I suspect what has happened is that the previous owner has upgraded to 8.30 after getting a new iphone and downloaded the North American firmware, it doesn't make sense for the handbrake wire to to be grounded into the wiring loom if it was an actual North American unit as it would have required the relay to fool it into thinking the parking brake is on/off/on.

Time to get myself a decent slimport adapter then, does anyone know if I can extend it with a Micro USB female to male lead and thus keep the slimport adapter out of the way in the glovebox or something?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DrunkFuX666:
So I just bought the ARUnchained Reloaded, and for some reason the GPS is all over the place. Iv never had any such issues with my phones gmaps losing signal and not at all being able to track my location but with this it was completely off, had to pull out my ancient Garmin GPS to navigate.

Any idea why that's happening?? Mock locations is enabled. Should I turn that off? I have no idea if the phones GPS was being used or the head units. I'm using a sph-da100 (appradio2)

I use a slimport that has a longer microUSB wire on it so no extension at that end is required.

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Check that the HU has a decent signal lock and the GPS mouse is in a good location. I assume you have plugged in the external gps mouse?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DrunkFuX666:
Yea the GPS mouse is plugged in, its attached to the inside of the dash on one of the metal roll cage bars to get better signal, so I think that's OK. As far as the gps lock is concerned, the satellites do show a number, but I don't know what the diff color satellites mean hehe.

Also I haven't yet bought the GPS injector app... Would that make a difference...? I only use gmaps... None of the others...

Hi, is it normal with the mock locations to feel like the navigation is choppy or slow? It feels like the gps location is being updated every 2 seconds or so so the car in the map is always behind where it should be and it updates the position every few seconds instead of being updated constantly... No matter what app I use this happens every time. With the phones built in gps the navigation is fluid. Thanks!

The GPS data is sent via Bluetooth about once a second. So that is the fastest rate that is possible. When I used Reloaded with my AR2 and a MK809III Android stick I didn't notice a 2 or 3 second delay. I think processing takes less than 100ms. When you are connected to your head unit and show the GPS screen from the menu what status is shown? You can also see the Msg count increasing each time a GPS data message comes in. It should update once per second.

BT won't auto-connect

Hi. I have ARUR set up on my phone with all the proper cables and configurations. I've actually been using ARU/ARUR with my S4 and AppRadio 3 for over a year and it has been working well. Just recently however, it stopped auto-connecting to Bluetooth. I now have to manually force it to connect every time I plug in.

This actually started right after I did some app clean up on my phone. Because of earlier difficulties getting the thing to connect reliably I had installed three different apps that do basically the same thing: ARU itself, Tasker with HDMI state triggers for BT connect and disconnect, and an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect by UniqTec. So with the latest release of ARUR I decided to uninstall or disable the other two. That's when it stopped auto-connecting to BT. Now, after working on it for several days trying to fix it, I decided to reinstall/re-enable everything back to the way it was, but it still won't work.

Any suggestions?

JD
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jdkbph:
Solved - sort of...

I know replying to your own post is bad form, but since I haven't been able to find any good info to help with the issue, I might as well report what I did to get it working... after a fashion... in case anyone else has the same problem.

I reinstalled the Bluetooth Auto Connect app I mentioned above. According to everything I've read about ARUR I should not have had to do that, but there it is. At least it's working again. If anyone is looking for it, it's on the Google App Store. And it's free.

Thanks

Folks that are Mirroring with an S6 via Chromecast,

Chromecast / my S6 won't look for a network with wifi disabled, as it has to be when using wifi tether. How are you getting the Chromecast and S6 to connect via the hotspot without wifi enabled?

You can't, your phone will be connecting to the Chromecast to send the image over wifi, so even if the Chromecast was on its own hotspot, your phone still needs wifi turned on and to be on that same network.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DrunkFuX666:
Generally Nexus phones are the best when it comes to being able to root/modify them however you want. Samsung's tho make great phones, they are notorious for throwing in some software limitations that tend to be problematic.

Having said that, if buying a locked phone on contract, you need to first double check if the bootloader can be unlocked. From what I have read, T-Mobile phones are the only ones who have a unlockable bootloader, while others are hit and miss...

A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded to a Verizon Galaxy S5 and was able to get one that still had KitKat out of the box which allowed me to root the phone. Once they start coming out of the box with Lollipop, it doesn't sound like rooting is going to be an option. I've been very happy with how nicely rooted KitKat 4.4.4, ARUR, and my 4000NEX play together. An additional bonus is the horrible battery drain and heating I had with my old GS4 while navigating and being connected to the head unit are now gone.
