Been looking at using my Dev Edition Note 4 with ARU just haven't rooted it yet. ... so you are saying that the dev note 4 will work with ARU? I'm not concerned about the Comcast and the Dongles, just ARUNCHAINED Is all. ... thanks in advance for your reply. ...

I use this allshare dongle http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-All-S.../B0089VO7MY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428946073 but I don't think allshare/screen mirroring was around when the s2 came out.

[MENTION=2279211]ilpleasu[/MENTION] you can use the note 4 dev ed with a samsung MHL adapter or the allshare
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Talking about the Hub.

I used an S2 a few years ago on my AppRadio 2 via the MHL adapter. Whilst it worked, it was extremely flaky and I had to replace the USB board on the phone twice due to poor quality Samsung components. Had to do the same for others, and some S3 users as well.

That was enough to put me off going with any Samsung products. Along with the fact they think they are the Apple of the Android world and standards do not apply to them along with no regard for not screwing over their customers.

The S2 is a pretty old phone now. For a replacement that is still well priced (as in not as part of a contract) I would look at the Nexus 5. You can still buy it new from some places online but they are running out quickly.

Replacement phone

400ixl thanks for info. It would appear that I do need to replace my phone to get arur working as it should. That being the case I'll go down the chrome cast route. I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to phones and only rooted my s2 cos it was old and I didn't care if I fried it. Getting a nexus 5 ups the anti a bit for me, I assume it is relatively easy to root ? but am worried I might brick it, i was also concerned that it automatically gets updates from Google. Will those updates not mess up any rooting? Thanks for any advice
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Have a look at the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit which is a GUI based rooting tool and makes it pretty straight forward.

It is best to not take OTA updates when rooted, The tool can be used to return to stock and either apply the full new build complete or take the OTA update and then re-root. The Nexus 5 does support Chromecast.

Nexus battery

Thanks for your help and advice.

I have never had anything other than Samsung but following your comments looked at the LG nexus 5 on reviews. The commonest issue seemed to be very poor battery performance and it cannot be replaced. In fact 5.0 update made matters worse for most folks. Have you found it to be an issue?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Nope, no issue, I get a full day out of mine with no problem at all. in comparing to my old work Samsung Galaxy S2 its at least 30% longer.

People getting battery issues usually have either not done a clean install in going to 5.x or are using an app which is not sleeping properly.

ARUR stops when using phone

Using ARUR .23 . When making a call ARUR will stop and I have to press the HOME (hard middle button on AR3) button to get to the HU phone screen. After completing the call, I again press HOME to get back to mirrored screen and then ARUR will start again. A bit annoying. I don't remember which version this started happening with. I don't recall this being an issue with ARU. I seem to recall other users having this issue as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Do you have 'Start/stop on HDMI connection.....' enabled?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I am making some progress getting connection to a Chromecast automated. It still needs tweaking as I need to interact with the settings app to make a connection. Google actually doesn't approve making a connection to a cast device automatically. I hope that by using an accessibility service to push the 'connect' button it will be ok as the user clearly has to allow that service to have access explicitly. Also I won't be advertising too clearly that Reloaded has the ability to start casting automatically.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JLPDA:
Yes, I do....along with "Do not switch off BT on HDMI disconnection". I thought this would Start/Stop the ARUR service as opposed to always being Started and "listening for connection", which I assume will drain the battery faster.

I have the "Do not switch off BT on HDMI disconnection" as my phone automatically connects to my Landline/BT phone in my office.

I'll try turning off the "Start/stop on HDMI connection/disconnection".
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mibuix0r:
Can someone please help me? I upgraded from an appradio 2 today to an appradio 4. Same phone (Note 4 DE) and allshare dongle. It keeps saying waiting for hdmi connection? HDMI is plugged in to the back and the allshare dongle is definitely working. The only thing I changed was workaround for wrong channel assignment is now checked because i had some channel issues before. on my headunit its set to other and HDMI. Other than that i have no idea whats going on. Should it just pop up on the head unit? I cant select HDMI on the A/V menu on the head unit. I dunno what to do I saw some other people had this problem in this thread but I didn't see any fixes.

EDIT: I just did the diagnostics and mock locations and run as system app weren't enabled so I guess I'll try it in the morning. I don't think that would affect the HDMI error but who knows!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes it does what you think it does. However if there's a glitch in the HDMI signal it will also disconnect the Bluetooth right away. Just for testing see if it makes any difference.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Is there anything connected to USB1?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mibuix0r:
Well, I tried powering my allshare dongle from the appradio 4's USB instead of my charger and it didn't seem to make a difference.

EDIT: I can try it with one of my Samsung MHL adapters when I get home I guess. FYI, I tried installing the pioneer appradio program and the apps function doesn't work either.

Do you want a logcat or is this issue on the headunit side?

EDIT 2: pics! I got it to connect just once but it still wouldnt let me hit apps on the head unit or show the hdmi lit up. Haven't been able to get it to say connected since either.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MindProbe:
Mine does the same for some reason. I can never get "apps" to show as an option. I'm still debating loading a new Rom. Currently using HTC ONE m7 with ARHD kitkat
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mibuix0r:
My rom, kernel, and allshare were working with the appradio 2 :/ I might return the appradio 4 and get the appradio 3 but I love the third pre out and interface. The screen is also so much nicer to the touch controls.

Turning off the "Start/stop on HDMI connection/disconnection" does fix the ARUR disconnect problem after completing a phone call. Doing it this way, isn't ARUR now always loaded and "listening for connection" even when NOT connected to my AR3, causing battery drain? Is "Also switches Bluetooth on/off" causing this issue? What is the need to "Also switches Bluetooth on/off" as part of the HDMI connect/disconnect when there is the "Toggle Bluetooth on start" option?

Oddly, the GPS injector indicator (curves above the "R") sometimes don't show now even though GPS injection is working (I checked the GPS status in the options).

Hi guys any help would be great here's a little info

Hu appradio 3

Phone LG g2 d803 rooted with stock Rom

Connection hdmi/slimport/with a micro usb plugged in the 12v plug [not the usb cable on the hu]

Problem getting pictures but no touch control and when I run the app it just says listening for connection

Ps first time connecting so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? Do I need any other apps or something?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Did you set the Bluetooth connection setting on the head unit to 'Others' instead of the default 'Iphone'?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blackfox123:
I don't see Bluetooth connection but I do see app connection settings and that's set to (others) is that what you mean?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes. Is the Pioneer AppRadio app installed? If so, uninstall it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blackfox123:
No just the ARU reloaded app. That's what I don't get like I said I'm not sure what's going on do I need the superuser app or something?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes. When you run diagnostics from the menu is there anything not checked?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blackfox123:
Everything is checked except the system app one and what do I need to do with the superuser app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Doesn't really matter as the diagnostics confirm the app has root access rights.

Most basic thing, you did pair the head unit and the phone, right?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mibuix0r:
I got the appradio mode to work using a Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter. I really hate using it because if I hit a large bump or am driving aggressively it disconnects pretty easily. I also can't use Quick Charge 2.0 charger so my battery drains as I drive.

It won't seems to detect the allshare as a hdmi device/phone :crying: Has anyone had any luck with the Chromecast or any other hdmi sticks on the AR4? I don't mind switching I just really need wireless. I don't think the Chromecast integration is done yet but I don't mind clicking a few things or setting up a tasker/trigger sequence if it works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blackfox123:
Yes I did pair my phone with the HU I even cleared my phone and my HU and did the pairing over again

Waiting for HDMI connection

Trying to start ARUR will stick with the above message any time I try to click the 'Start' button. Initially I was using ARU and although it worked, I was compelled to try ARUR. Following are all the relevant details (I think):

Pioneer DA210

LG G2 running crDroid (lollipop) ROM

Head unit device type set to 'others' (not iphone)

ARUR granted SU access

ARUR diagnostics report all checked except system app and mock locations (I think this is not a problem)

Since I had ARU working, I did unplug head unit from vehicle, so settings may have been lost. I know I had to change the setting mentioned above from iphone to other. Not sure if there's something else I missed...

Any help is greatly appreciated. Trying to get this working before leaving on a road trip this evening...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Did you reset the bluetooth pairing?

Delete it all and start again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eds72:
Yes, I've deleted the bluetooth paring and re-done. It appears that is working; when I click 'Start' it goes through a couple messages, including 'negotiating protocol' but eventually stops on the waiting for HDMI message.

When you say, "delete it all" do you mean the bluetooth info? Or more??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mibuix0r:
How are you connecting the head unit to your phone? HDMI to what?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eds72:
Slimport adapter. Not sure how/why, but it finally connected. I swear I changed nothing. I disconnected and tried again, worked.

So I think I'm set. If not I'll post again...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blackfox123:
Ok so a little bit of improvement lol. I finally got it to work now my other problem is every time I start my car it keeps saying waiting for hdmi connection and for some reason I can't get it to reconnect. Could that be my hdmi or my slimport or a setting change I need to do
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Waiting for HDMI connection means that the head unit reports it doesn't see a valid HDMI input signal. It also means that Bluetooth is connected properly and is communicating well.

This issue has something to do with the MHL or Slimport adapter. HDMI cable or even power supply to the MHL or Slimport adapter.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blackfox123:
So there's no real way to trouble besides buying everything in new
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onebyside:
I can tell you getting buy the "waiting for..." took simply changing from a custom rom to a factory one for myself.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blackfox123:
Ya I'm running stock Rom and I did a few changes the ARU settings and so far it's working like a dream so hopefully it will stay like that lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
It was just for testing what the real issue is. Basically it's the phone's radio signal briefly disturbing the HDMI output signal that causes an HDMI disconnected event on which Reloaded stops the Bluetooth connection service and also switches off Bluetooth. What I might add is a kind of filter so that brief disturbances do not cause the connection service to stop right away but wait for 5 seconds or so. Or it could be that the service does not get disconnected on an HDMI disconnect event but on a Bluetooth disconnect event.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onebyside:
I would rather use one of the custom roms I was happy with but haven't figured out what is the missing to connect.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JLPDA:
Although it's unclear to me how Reloaded starts/stops the Bluetooth connection service, I don't recall this being an issue with ARU. In my specific case, I always leave BT turned on since I'm either connected to my home phone (combo LandLine/BT) or to my AR3. I wouldn't want Reloaded to turn off BT upon HDMI disconnect. If I'm confusing Reloaded Start/stop feature with BT connection then I apologize. This is my desire:

- Bluetooth always on

- Start ARUR "listening" upon HDMI connection

- Stop ARUR "listening" upon HDMI disconnect

- Bluetooth remains on
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BIGSIKE3:
I'm in the exact same position as you running TMO N4 Firekat rom and AEL kernel. The disconnecting thing just came our of nowhere, now it does reconnect after the call but if navigating at the same time can be a big issue. Hope an update can fix that. As always got faith in 51.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blackfox123:
Ok so for some reason my when I run the app it's make my phone lose connection and data collection has anyone had this happen before

Specs LG g2 stock Rom and appradio3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Usually down to the adapter in use. Which one are you using?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blackfox123:
It's the slimport but if I don't run the app my cell still has connection it only loses connection after I run the app for some reason
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ncfroc:
Every once in awhile the Pioneer "Caution" screen will display with the "OK" button grayed out (see attached). I believe this occurs most frequently when I connect ARUR before clearing the "Caution" screen that is displayed on radio powerup. I really wish there was a way to disable that caution screen...

Anyway, it doesn't happen all of the time and the "OK" button is no longer grayed out if I press the main menu button on the Pioneer and then go back to Apps mode by pressing the Android icon dude.

However this is really minor and only happens a fraction of the time. I do not have ANY issues requiring rebooting of the phone or unplug/plug the slimport which were common with Pioneer's version.

I also submitted a 5 star review :)

So has anyone gotten the Appradio 4 to work with a wirless HDMI adapter? Miracast, chromecast, allshare, etc.?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes. I got it to work with a Chromecast. In another thread I read that it would display the wrong resolution but it worked here. I have the European version of both devices though, not sure if that really matters.

I just checked and it works with my Belkin Miracast adapter as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mibuix0r:
So strange. It was working with my rom and kernel with note 4 and allshare on the appradio 2. Guess I will fool around with some other kernels and roms.

EDIT: Not the rom or kernel. Could it just be the allshare device is not recognized by the appradio 4?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I just tried my Ezcast device (cheap Chinese casting adapter) and it doesn't work on my AR4. It does work on my tv and monitor. I guess the AR4 is a bit picky regarding HDMI input.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NK2014:
I did not test ARU GPS Injector only ARU. It worked fine for touch events. So I've bought ARUR :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
If it doesn't work well I can give you a refund. But I don't really understand why it would not be working well because it works fine with my MK809III android stick and it works fine for many other people with an Android stick.

I think you said that the GPS data shown with ARUR was zeros. Did you check on the HU that it actually was receiving satellites?

Other issue could be that BT on your android stick doesn't work well. I once had an MK908 stick and that only worked when I put the stick very close (<10cm) to the HU.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NK2014:
HU status shows it is receiving satellites.

BT works with touch events and I tested it successfully with a Bluetooth GPS receiver. In the last case the distance was about 2 meters.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Does the original Pioneer AppRadio App work for GPS input?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SWAYD3:
This new update is awesome news as I have a locked bootloader on verizon and gave been stuck for a long time! Just was to confirm everything though as I still don't have a HU since I was waiting for a way to get touch control on with my current phone. So to clarify as long as I have root (which I do) all I have to do is buy the app and everything will work even though I'm still in enforcing? Galaxy s4 SCH-I545 running 4.4.2. Anyone else confirm this working with no problems on same device?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grandmasterorge:
Hi Chaps,

I as looking for some help, I just bought an LG/Google refurbished Nexus 4 and ARUnchained off the app store, rooted the phone, gave ARUR permission with SuperSU and plugged it in to the stereo (SPH-DA100) with a Slimport into HDMI cable and hoped it would work straight off on Android 4.4.4.

The phone toggles on/off Bluetooth --> Listening for Connection --> Negotiating Protocol and hangs hrere on NP. I have tried checking the box in settings which says it is a workaround for hanging at Negotiating Protocol with no luck. I get no change whatsoever on the Appradio, although it is connecting to the phone via Bluetooth.

Any ideas anyone? I currently have extra problems in that I pressed yes on the Lollipop update, and aside from not really liking Lollipop it also removed my root access which I will need to resolve tomorrow before trying any fixes. To be clear the above situation as described was previous to running the Lollipop update when the phone still had root.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NK2014:
I've tested the original AppRadio App. Hm...

The first, I've got GPS position. The second, I can't press buttons on the bottom of the screen. ARU wins as touch screen interface.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
You will need to uninstall or freeze ARUR during the test.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes, the workaround doesn't always work. So I worked on a better workaround yesterday. It's almost ready, just have to test it a bit more. Will be released tonight as alpha test version.

Edit: the improved workaround is available now as alpha test version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NK2014:
I did that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
And everything worked as it should?

Navigation worked Ok? You got GPS signal from the HU when you had mock locations switched on but GPS on the phone switched off?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NK2014:
Kind of. I am not testing in a car. I have a test bench at home. I've got a home position on map. Can move map and return to home position with corresponded button.

Oki I just tried latest alpha and I still cant get by the negotiating protocol, I tried chan 1-8....9 gave a chan allocation error.

I'm wondering if the rom I'm using (slimkat/slimrom) could be the problem.

S4 SGH 1337M

Simkat rom

Pioneer Nex 8000
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I don't think so. I just got a log from someone with the same issue and from that it follows it's not the Wrong channel allocation issue as the HU is replying. I think there's something in the protocol I missed or something changed and somehow the HU doesn't get all the answers it wants and doesn't go into AppRadio mode. I am going to analyze the log and compare with a log from communication with the Pioneer app. Will let you know more soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Do you have a handbrake bypass installed? I traced down the protocol issue to an extra status message sent by the HU that I didn't expect. This messes up the protocol. This extra message might be sent because the handbrake is not connected or changes status.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onebyside:
Yes, although I told the installer to just ground the handbrake wire perm so I could use the internal service software disable..... he wouldn't do it that way, He wanted to use the hardware relay addon to disable.

edit: I'm gonna go try the software disable aswell...might change things

no go..I think the the wire has to be perm grounded minus relay
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Ok can you do an experiment for me? Can you install the Pioneer AppRadio app (uninstall ARUR) & make a Bluetooth log by enabling 'Bluetooth HCI Snoop log' in the developer options first. Then connect the Pioneer app and email me the log. Log usually be found here: /sdcard/btsnoop_hci.log
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SWAYD3:
Do you not need a bypass for this if you have the app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mibuix0r:
I bought the Belkin Miracast :D and I will let you know, seems like it will be fine.
