What's the reccomendatioms for OnePlus 5?

Doesnt seem to support HDMI direct out which is disappointing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Wireless is possible with a Miracast device. Like the Actiontec Screenbeam mini 2, Microsoft wireless adapter V2 or Belkin Miracast. Recently someone recommended to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Fiyapoo-Mira...s=Miracast+Dongle,Fiyapoo+WiFi+Display+Dongle . However some people experience connection issues like the sound breaking up. Also on longer drives you need to provide power to the phone anyway.

For wired the box is what makes it work so that's what you need. The USB-C extension cable it not really necessary.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
The only way is to use a Miracast device like the ones is the previous answer. The Fiyapoo was recommended by someone with a OP5.

Great, thanks very much!

i'm going to get a wireless dongle type device. what is the procedure for setup? just bluetooth connect the phone to the dongle? Are there any settings that need to be set/tweeked?

appreciate the help! this will be great. i always disliked having the wires hanging out....

need advice/instructions to set up wireless casting

anyone have instructions or a tutorial for setting up wireless casting to the appradio 4? I have a screenbeam mini 2, galaxy s8, appradio 4, and appradio unchained rootless. everything is connected and set up, but the connection wont work. my phone cant connect to the screenbeam. it will bluetooth to the appradio without problem, but no content gets cast. thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Uhm.... if you go to the first post and click on 'User's manual' you should get some instructions. To cast the screen manually, just use the phone's SmartView. If setup correctly the GUI automation tries to do that for you but it doesn't always work so you may still have to do something manually.

Cheap AppRadio experiment

In Japan they are selling new old stock of the Carrozzeria SPH-DA05 which is the Japanese version of the Pioneer AppRadio SPH-DA100 a.ka. AppRadio 2. It only supports Japanese language. Apparently it's possible to flash SPH-DA100 firmware so it can be switched to English.

It's available on Japanese Amazon for 9626 JPY (88 $). It's listed at 10399 JPY but when ordered from abroad you don't have to pay 6% VAT. Shipping to Europe is 2899 JPY (27 $) so in total 115 $ making this the cheapest new AppRadio ever. I couldn't resist so ordered one.

Unfortunately for the Netherlands we also have to pay VAT of 21% on imports so this is an additional 2631 JPY or 24 $ but still it's really cheap.

Will report more when I get it and try to flash the AR2 firmware.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I am guessing the player continues to play somehow and when there's no HDMI anymore it will switch to the speaker output.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
Now that I've switched to manual connect, I'm thinking an automatic disconnect would be a great feature to have (a subset of manual connection option already present) so that when I get out of my car I don't have to disable ARU to save battery power. Just a thought.

This is what I've experienced at times, even outside of ARU.

latency

So thanks everyone for your help and input. I have full mirroring and it's running well.

Just one issue.

Is there a way to reduce the delay/latency between touching the screen and the response? It's obviously annoying, and it did not seem to be delayed with my previous setup (HTC M8 connected with HDMI and pioneer adapter).

Or is the latency a result of the wireless connection?

Is there any way to avoid it? I'd rather have it more responsive than slow and wireless. Presuming the wireless connection is the cause.

Thanks very much!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
The latency is because of the wireless connection. There's no way to change that other than using a wired adapter.

The casting automation can only start casting to devices that the phone supports from the phone's cast screen. On a Samsung phone that's only to Miracast devices. For a Chromecast you need to start screencasting manually from the Google Home app.

Nope. The S8 supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode in short) but it doesn't support MHL.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
The Chromecast isn't the best device for mobile use but currently the only option for a Pixel. It requires an internet connection to be able to connect to it. That can be done via the phone's mobile hotspot. This requires that your provider allows wifi tethering. But even when the Chromecast has an internet connection it sometimes doesn't show up as an device that can be casted to. I am looking into adding Miracast casting support into the app directly but that's something that will take quite some time so until that's done Chromecast is the only option for Google phones with Android 7.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gInx52:
Thanks. After reading the manual on page 1, seems like chromecast is the only route for me at the moment. I'm sure you've answered this question before but I'm gonna ask again, is there a good phone that supports MHL under $300 that I could use with rootless app? Seems like a better investment than the chromecast and if I need internet connection then I could just tether via my pixel.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] StruttinSoul:
Gotcha! I am going to try this one since the other one isn't available in Canada lol

It's all the same generic stuff from China. You can also order directly from China for half the price but of course it takes 3-4 weeks until you get it.

This seems the same: https://www.banggood.com/3-in-1-USB...B-3_1-For-Macbook-p-1071364.html?rmmds=search
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
There's no recent phones in that price range that support MHL or Slimport. There's one other option to use Chromecast without internet access and that's this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softmedia.receiver.castapp&hl=en

I have tried it on my tv box and it works. I still have to test it on my MK809III Android stick to see if it really works without internet connection. So basically the CastReceiver app and a cheap HDMI Android stick would emulate a Chromecast that you can use to mirror your screen and that doesn't require an internet connection.

I did something stupid 2 days ago with my Nexus 6P. It *was* running Play Services v10.2.98 (440). I was on APK Mirror and noticed v11.0.45 (440) was up with over 5,000 downloads. I thought, why not install? Afterwards everything seemed to be fine and I forgot about it. It was only the next day when ARU wasn't connecting properly and I couldn't get it to work that I realized that (apparently not in full release) Play Services v11.0.45 was the problem. Switched back to 10.2.98, works fine.

So....even though I'm locked, stock and unrooted.....tinkering can still get you into trouble.

Just posting about it in case somebody else has made the same dumb mistake or is tempted to tinker with Play Services.

Huawei P9 lite and Android 7 with Pioneer SPH-DA120

hello

I've got the AppRadio Pioneer SPH-DA120 and tried to connect it with my smartphone Huawei P9 lite (with a MHL-adapter). The smartphone runs on Android 7.

After the download of your app "ARUnchained rootless", the app tells me, that there is a connection to the radio, but the radio has no connection.

Can you help me please.

Many thanks

Hi,

I have a Samsung s6 and a Pioneer SPH DA 110. Can i buy this app and install a screenbeam and have my phone show up on the screen?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xena_wales:
Just wanted to say thanks for the development!

I've just bought and set up my new head unit - a SPH-DA100 (Appradio 2) which I got from ebay for £75 delivered. Am using my Galaxy S7, a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter V2 (£33 delivered from Argos Ebay) and the Appradio Unchained Rootless App, so for £130-odd I have a pretty tidy system :)

I haven't quite got it working seamlessly at the moment yet, but I've only just finished setting it up. Issues I've found so far, are stopping it connecting if I just want to listen to the radio on a short journey for instance... Ideally I suppose I'd like to press the App button on the head unit to fire up the connection, but not sure if this is possible. Also my phone seems to get kinda stuck in the app and it's not easy to close it down, especially when the screen has gone dim, but these are prob just newbie issues and me being thick!

I do have Tasker, so maybe should use that, like for swapping the keyboards (is that still necessary?!)

One question tho - What benefit would the appradio 3 or 4 have given me over my current setup?

Many thanks.

Hi,

I have a Nexus 6p rooted running Android 7 with Resurrection Remix rom and the AVCH 4201 NEX.

I Don't want to use a chromecast.

I read a lot of things so I just want to make sure about a few things :

With a rooted Nexus 6p under Android 7, can I use miracast with your app?

I read that I have to add a lign to build. prop. is it still the procedure and will it work?

which hdmi dongle from Amazon do you recommend to use with your app ?

Can you assure me that with all the stuff below, your app will work perfectly with my phone.

Thank you.

The P9 lite doesn't support MHL so that's not going to work. It supports Miracast so you can cast the screen wirelessly to a Miracast adapter.

Yes that can work if your S6 has an update to Android 7.

Samsung note 8

Just wanted to confirm note 8 working with a wired connection. It moves a little slow with touch screen access on appradio 3. The only real issue I have is sometimes it takes a few times for me to connect. I used to use rooted version with HTC m8 and it would connect automatically every time I started my car. I love this app just wanted to inform.

Troubleshooting time; running the Essential PH-1 with the Microsoft wireless dongle on an AppRadio II. Everything was working when the phone was running 'droid ver. 7 but recently upgraded to ver. 8.1.0. Since then, the screen goes blank after connection and can't hear the audio. Pressing the middle button on the ARII sends the phone back to the home screen so I know it's connected. Anywhere between one and ten minutes of silence, the audio will start coming through the ARII, but within ten or 15 seconds, it drops the connection and the music starts coming from the phone. Any suggestions on what might be happening?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Looks like the Microsoft has trouble connecting. Apparently the Oreo update messes up Miracast support. There's reports of Samsung phones as well, after Oreo update no connection to Microsoft Wireless adapter anymore. It's something outside of the app.

Just checked with my S8+ with Android 8.0.0 and can still cast to my Belkin Miracast dongle. Not sure why that still works. I had a few Oreo updates already though.

There's a report of a recent Samsung update that fixed it: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...tibility/b2460a08-c9a2-49e9-86b6-19026074ca7b

I guess Essential has to fix it too.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vjaneczko:
As an update: I contacted Essential and perfect timing; they had posted a big update two hours before they replied, so I patched the phone. But still no joy. I also applied a minor patch to the Microsoft dongle but it still failed. They also suggested starting the phone in Safe Mode but when that is done, the Miracast ability isn't active.

As it happens, I'm waiting for a new headunit. I'm dumping my AppRadio II because I can't take the screen failure anymore. I'm replacing it with a 4200 NEX. Hopefully everything will be better once it arrives - right?! :) I'll keep y'all posted.

Side note; the guys at Essential Tech Support are very responsive and helpful. Glad I bought their phone... even if I did buy it two weeks before they dropped the price by $200 :(

Just got word from Essential Support that, well, I'll let you read it verbatim:

Hi Vince,

Thank you for your patience while we investigated the issue.

Our Software Team they has concluded that Android OS does not support Miracast. With new updates and especially with Oreo version, Miracast is becoming obsolete on the Android OS. We believe that support for Miracast ended in the Android version 6.0 and has been slowly moving away.

You can contact Microsoft support team for further details.

Things may change in the future but the firmware updates will need to come from both Google (owner of Android OS) and Microsoft, for it to work on Essential Phone.

We have no control over this, if we did our software team would be working on it right now.

Thank you and have a good day.

Great way to start the weekend, eh?! #pissed

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
On Google phones it has not been working since Android 6. Via a hack it was still possible to enable it . On Android 7 and higher that was not even possible anymore. Obviously because Google only supports Chromecast but this is difficult for mobile use.

So it seems they don't even support it now on the Essential phone either.

Since you have a new 4200NEX that supports Android Auto there's some hope. I still plan to work on trying to 'unchain' Android Auto. If I can pull that off all you need is to connect your phone via USB to the head unit and it will work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vjaneczko:
So out of curiosity (and not to deviate from the thread too much), what devices are available from the Cast menu, other than Miracast devices? I've seen a few TV's appear as available when I'm near a sports bar and never gave them much thought. It just seems weird that if something is no longer available, how is it appearing in the damn menu as something I can - and do - actually connect to?!

ever since the last update from samsung (CRD4)

I haven't had many issues connecting via miracast using the smartview button

it doesn't crash anymore

I have a GS8+ (8.0)(at&t) with a x8500bhs HU connected via MS Display adapter 2.0

leave it to Samsung to mess up a good thing

they updated oreo again(cre2) and it's messed up again

my only issue is the smartview seems to crash randomly and I have to reconnect the msda

is there a way to have AUR undimm the display on the phone when it looses the

connection to the adapter,it make it easier to reconnect

Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
How it worked on Android 6 on Google phones when patched was that it shows both Miracast and Chromecast devices and you could connect to both. I think on your Esential phone it's now basically the same as I can imagine Essential enabled Miracast support. So it shows both Miracast and Chromecast devices. However since Google doesn't support Miracast it probably means that they don't test that this still works and results in something being broken. So as a result you can see a Miracast device but connection to it fails. Connection to a Chromecast device should be possible.

Only Chromecast is not that great for mobile use as Chromecast requires an internet connection to be able to connect to it. This can be done via the Wifi-hotspot of your phone (if your provider allows wifi tethering) and this kind of works. Note that last year this was something that was broken as well as this is something that is not officially supported by Google and wasn't properly tested. After many complaints from customers this was eventually fixed by Google.

This was the time that I looked into supporting casting to Miracast devices directly from the app. Basically what's needed is to connect to a Miracast device via wifi direct, then do some negotiating about what kind of video/ audio stream it can handle and then start streaming. The first 2 things I got implemented however the streaming part was a bit too much to do in a short period of time. Obviously the required protocols are in Android somewhere but it can't be used as there's no public API for it available. Since after a while Google fixed the Chromecast issue I stopped working on it.

Edit: Just to add, apparently the Essential phone also supports (wired) USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode adapters. However some people report issues on Oreo. Like sound not working or not working at all. Seems like Google is doing everything to only support Chromecast.

chromecast help

Hey guys. Im struggling to get my setup with chromecast working. If anyone has any tips I would really appreciate it.

Phone - Moto G5 plus

Chromecast v2

Latest google home app

- I tried an older version of the chromecast app as well

I am on a mobile data plan and can hotspot without issue

I have had screencasting work perfectly about 3 times. But I have no idea how it managed to happen.

Usually the app connects without issue and the chromecast won't appear on the list of devices to cast to. The head unit will just show images

The connection is not mirrorlink so you that's why that won't work. You should check that you get a HDMI signal from the adapter. You can connect it to a TV first. If that works you can connect it to your AR2 and select apps, then press ignore for the Bluetooth connection and your phone's screen should be displayed.

What is wrong is that the head unit reports that it doesn't detect a valid HDMI signal. This can be there's really no HDMI signal or the timing is slightly off. The Pioneer's can be a bit picky about the signal. Have you tried to connect the HDMI adapter to a TV and see if that works?
