Hey, thanks a lot for the 5.1 backup (and thanks to the OP as well). This saved me a lot of trouble updating to 5.1. Hardest part was just waiting for everything to download, though it helps I'm not new to the adb game and I already had twrp installed. Some others have reported they lost their...

USB had a buggy launch, inconsistent and confusing connectors that didn't map well in the mobile space, power issues, chip issues, and the broader billion dollar mobile market clearly didn't care that much about it, at least according to the millions poured in to overall market research on it...

It's a great little tablet if you can pick it up on a sale or with unused gift cards for under $300. I rarely shop at Best Buy so the fact I had a couple laying around and an older phone sitting in a drawer they gave me $50 for got me to $255 for a new 32gb model. My company provides AT&T data...

Sent donation, check PM Area51 Thanks!

You more or less just summed it up - just have the one Android device use the A2DP "media" profile and the phone use the HSP. That's about it as far as anything specific to that config. Users who have Android sticks do this. As for Tasker you'd really only need it if you want to kick off stuff...

Works fine on my N5 with stock KitKat with the AppRadio 3, maybe you want to go back and try stock? Custom ROM issues are going to be hard to narrow down with an app like this one. Honestly, as far as the N5 is concerned, I don't know what a custom rom gets you that stock + GravityBox doesn't...

It works the same way it does with or without AppRadio - the phone connects to the HU using the hands-free BT profile, which means built in mic, speakers, etc. Doesn't matter if you have HDMI connected or not - that's the default behavior if BT is connected to a hands-free profile.

Kind of...pointless for the context of this discussion then, which was about the best way to charge while using ARU. The question from another user was is the USB port on the AppRadio sufficient and the answer - at least if you want to keep mirroring the screen, which is the point - is, not...

You mean a 5-pin cable, like the OTG cables? I have one. Will it still charge that fast via a SlimPort adapter though?

No, it's only 500mA. At best it'll slow down the drain when in use.

Worthless for you. Before you get too upset understand that there are plenty of folks who have gotten MHL to work and you can blame Samsung for being their usual go-their-own-direction selves in how they chose to implement it. And no one's ever claimed wireless HDMI of any type has worked well...

Interesting. I have problems with BT in general on the N5 - a lot of 4.4 devices do - but usually it never connects at all. Anyway, try disabling, then re-enabling BT first. As in, let your phone connect to your HU BT, then turn off BT, then turn it back on, then launch ARU. If this works (and...

Car mode was fixed in 4.4, in fact I think 4.3 is where the fix first showed up. With that, you can just use Car Home Ultra to do what you want, it has an option to make itself the "home" launcher when active. You can use Tasker to disable Car Mode to quickly turn it off when it's not. I'm on...

I just discovered this app and love it, quick question on the ticker: I'm not seeing the "Subject" line in emails, either for Gmail or the stock Email app. I see who it's from, and if I enabled expanded text I can see that, but for some reason the subject line doesn't show. Did I miss a setting?

Interesting question. My first instinct is to say while you could probably have both hooked up - Android doesn't need the USB port on the HU, the iPod doesn't need the HDMI connector, and you can connect two at once via BT - it'll probably confuse the hell out of the AR3. I don't know how you...
