If the cable worked fine with the old setups it's less likely to be the cause and there's no guarantee that a better cable solves the issue. Many things can disturb a wifi signal. It could even be harmonics of a switching power supply.

It's really difficult to pinpoint the exact issue. For instance: When I test with a Miracast device with my head unit desk setup (AR3 or AR4) it works absolutely fine. No issues with audio breaking up. When I try it in my car that has an AR2 installed, the audio is breaking up even when the phone is on top of the Miracast dongle. I know this is very likely because of a crappy HDMI cable. Unfortunately It's really a hell of a job to install another cable. On the other hand when I use that same cable with an Android TV box there's zero issues with the HDMI signal.

Has anyone tried this on Pie yet? I've given it a go with an unofficial build but get FCs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I don't have a phone with Pie so I can't test it. For the rootless version I got some reports that it works on Pie.

Reloaded is deliberately built with old Android APIs. I don't know how Pie handles this.

If you can make a logcat of the crashes and email it to me, it will give me some clues.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
Will do and thanks for the speedy reply.

ARU is an essential for me, so I've flashed back to the previous ROM on my OnePlus 5T. I'll stick the Pie ROM on my 3T and come back to you. Level 2 logging?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
No problem. The issue I'm now having is that your preferred logcat app, and a few others that I've tried, don't seem to like Pie either!

I'll try a few more and see if I can get one that works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I guess that's because of tightened security in PIE. Is your phone rooted? One way that should always work is via ADB but then you need a laptop to use it in your car.

New oneplus 5t best way to get it working

Hi, i recently got a oneplus 5t and wanted to get it working with my appradio 3. ive been reading that oneplus 5t does not support usb-c to mhl/hdmi. so i was wondering what my best option is for connecting to my head unit. ive read that chromecast works not sure which chromecast version though. as well as miracast but not sure if there are certain ones that will work best. if anyone can recommend what i should purchase that would be great. Thank you! :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
I have the same phone and use a Microsoft wireless display adaptor as a Miracast device and it works fantastically.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ricardosaurusrex:
Awesome! i will definitely give this a try. thank you!

Edit: what version of the microsoft wireless display adapter are you using? or does that even matter will any of them work? Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
V2, works like a charm after the 15 second or so boot time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
There's no obvious crash in the log. I see WifiDisplayController (that does the Wireless casting) crash.

Then I see:

10-31 07:13:21.193 18559 18559 E AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

10-31 07:13:21.193 18559 18559 E AndroidRuntime: DeadSystemException: The system died; earlier logs will point to the root cause

But there's no earlier log info related to this. What dialogs do you get about the crash?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
None at all, it goes straight to lock screen. Would a longer log help?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
Latest log emailed to you, hopefully this will help.

I installed an update to the custom ROM in case there was a bug fix, then restarted the phone.

Cleared Logcat

Started the head unit

ARU kicked in

The cast screen appeared and showed as connecting, and so did the head unit.

The phone then vibrated once and went to the lock screen (despite being set to 30 minute time-out).

I waited a few seconds, then unlocked the screen and tapped on ARU.

It looks like it was still running in the background, but with Stop selected.

I re-established the Bluetooth connection and tapped on Start.

It went to connecting again, and crashed in the same way again.

The third time, I force-closed ARU then started it up again. This time, I got to ARU being connected, but once again the screen casting brought the vibration and lock screen.

Hope some of that helps.

EDIT: thinking about it, please don't invest any time in looking into this too much just yet. When I get home I will try just casting to my TV in case there's an Android Pie issue with the overall casting, not ARU specifically. I'll post how I get on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
Looks like it's a problem with Miracast support. The 3T connected fine to my Chromecast, but goes black screen with the Microsoft WDA. I've flagged it to the ROM's Dev in case it's sortable by him, rather than a generic issue with Pie.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Google doesn't support Miracast because they want to sell Chromecast. I think the Pie version you have is not official and derived from AOSP in which Miracast support isn't working. It seems all manufacturers that want to support Miracast have to implement it themselves.

I looked at the log and the ARU's Accessibility Service crashes. I could fix this by catching some more exceptions. However since Miracast doesn't work, it won't help you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] astracd:
I'm waiting for our updated for OP5 so will provide feedback. I also have chromecast I will try and see how it works. I never try it with ARUnchained
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
Ah, that makes sense as this ROM is built on AOSP & GZOSP. Thanks for the offer, but I don't want you investing dev time in something that may well be specific to this one tree of custom ROMs!

And the wait continues, huh? Maybe the end of this month, but more likely early 2019 by the looks of things. It's no deal breaker for me, Pie has some nice tweaks to it but is hardly groundbreaking.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ricardosaurusrex:
I can't seem to be able to connect to the Microsoft wireless display adapter. And everything I've read online says OnePlus 5t doesn't support Miracast, how did you connect to it? Is there anything special I have to do? Thank you!

What's happening or not happening when you try to connect? And which ROM are you on?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] astracd:

go to settings-display-cast

check enable wireless display

It works for me beta22 OP5

Still same problem with stuttering, freezing...

But that is not app issue it is OP casting. It is sad as OP2 work perfectly lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
I've tried my beta20.1 on the 5T and it connected fine, albeit manual (but that's been a bit intermittent lately anyway).

Will give it a proper go over the weekend, but at least it looks like Pie is working.

EDIT: I used it for a couple of hours today, no problem at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
How's it going now that the official release is out? Mine's been fine, except for the need to manually connect.

Sounds like a lot of work. Might there be something in build.prop that could help? Or a Tasker module?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
So the latest update on Android Pie on a Oneplus 5T.

I clean installed the 9.0.1 update, after which casting wouldn't work. The MWDA showed "Connecting to...", but then the screen went back to its standby mode.

I've now reinstalled (clean), but this time I didn't restore any system settings from Titanium. Sure enough, it casts fine.

[MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION] - the only issue now is it spends a lot of time on the "Listening for Connection" screen. Is there anything I can do to help that along? I've tried breaking and reestablishing the Bluetooth connection from the head unit, but no joy. It makes it to "Negotiating Protocol" after a few minutes, then connects fine.

Uncheck phonebook that can take forever to download each time it connects it loads complete phonebook.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
Ah yes, good point. I tend to leave it on as I sometimes run without ARU, but it makes sense given that it's the first time connecting. Lots to sync!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
You don't see it in the Play store because it's not an Android TV app. It can still work but you have to sideload it. I can send you the apk file. If you have installed the same email account then you should be able to get a license. At least that's how it used to work.

You need to change the key mapping. I know it's possible but I have never done it. Just Google for it.

anyone here experience with remap steering wheel buttons on AndroidTV firmware? my understanding is the button go to headunit (8850BT) connect AndroidTV via bluetooth AVCRP.

1. i used the keytest apk and press the next button on steering, then the app regconized as 163 key code. (pic 1)

2. i used gamepad tester and it recognized as 163 as well together with keylayout name-vendor-product id (pic2)

3. i applied command cat /proc/bus/input/devices and it listed all devices id vendor connect to androidTV box. there also the generic key with id 6 in the list with same vendor and product ID in step 2. (pic3)

4. i came to /system/usr/keylayout then open the right file with vendor and product ID above. i make and edit with 163 for next and 165 for prev (pic4). unfortunately, all steps dont work.

I'm one oneplus 3 official pie update.

I'm using a Microsoft Wireless display adapter v1.

When I'm connecting to my miracast TV, it works fine but I can connect to Microsoft Wireless display only if my phone is connected to a wifi...

So here is what I think (and it's something already said in ARU section)

1. Miracast works on Oneplus phones.

2. The Microsoft display adapter v1 seems to be the problem.

I heard that v2 works better than v1.

I prefer miracast because chromecast will stop working when you are not conected to internet. So when you are underground, screen casting stop working. Shame on you chromecast...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbaldbloke:
I have a OP5T (and a OP3T prior to that) with the V2 of the MWDA. No problem at all, irrespective of internet so you may well be right.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] seburton:
On microsoft adapter v1, i've some issues when my device is not connected to a wifi network. It's strange but without wifi connection, my phone can't cast to the miracast dongle.

I buyed the v2 because as i said, v1 was a poor dongle.

I receive my miracast display adapter v2 today, and i confirm it works nicer than v1. Everything works perfectly on microsoft display adapter V2. Connected or not to a wifi network. It work every times !!! PERFECT !!

Howdy! I'm using the rootless version of ARU on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

1. Will this unrooted phone also support the GPS Injector app?

2. Is there a way to have the phone output 16x9 instead of the 21x9 its mirroring with?

3. Is there a list of phones/devices that meet minimum spec to run the application and GPS injector from the glovebox?

4. is it compatible with the newer AppRadio 4 models?

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
1. You don't need the GPS injector app. Injecting GPS data is included in the app. See paragraph 2.7 of the user's manual.

2. Only with Wireless casting there's an option for that on the phone. For wired that's not possible.

3. There's no list. Tell me which one you consider and I can tell if it's likely to work. The rootless version needs Android 7 or higher. Rooted version Android 4 or higher. I am using the rooted version with a Mecool M8S PRO TV box with 3GB ddr4 ram + 32GB rom.

4. AppRadio 4 is supported.

Hi experts,

I got new phone OnePlus 7 Pro USA / International GM1917

my car Appradio does have GPS, I use the phone GPS.

I got strange side effect by connecting to HDMI, the GPS stops working

it just stops receiving info from satellites, one by one till all are gone

I need GPS as it's for in car use for navigation (waze) and my display is car pioneer appradio 7"

if I disconnect from hdmi adapter than GPS is back to normal under 10ft with many satellites

what I'm missing?

any options I need to set in OP7Pro to keep getting GPS?

Afaik there's no options for GPS to stay working. In the old days of MHL adapters it happened in case of low quality devices with insufficient shielding that harmonics of the HDMI signal took out the GPS signal. In this case it's similar. It could be a badly shielded HDMI adapter or HDMI cable.

It should work on Android 9. If you install the app temporarily on your phone, you can extract the APK with an app called Skit. Then install the APK and if you have the same Gmail account installed it will acquire a license.

Hi,

I am experiencing connection problems on Xiaomi Mi mix 2s running MIUI 11/Android 10.(On android 9 it was working fine)

The phone connects to the radio, but the app stays in Listening for connection. Sometimes it goes to 75% and fails, but mostly nothing happens.

I presume that the app is not the cause of the problem, but the android system itself.

I did try using the wrong channel workaround, but to no avail.

Did anyone experience similar problems?

somehow android 10 kills connection and even ARUR, even the app is "locked" app, it doesn't stay up and running

someone posted Tasker tasks to keep it up and running with 10 sec checks for connection / reconnection - maybe that will work?
