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...

This is good to know, thanks! Do you happen to know off-hand if the Rotation Locker app, the one on the Play store, uses the same method? I like using that - while I do appreciate you putting the feature in to ARU (since RL is a paid app) RL does have a Tasker plugin so I have better control...

It's the car that matters, you won't be hardwiring the power in to the HU itself. It's pretty simple, you just tap in to an existing power lead - Crutchfield should tell you what it recommends based on your car, but essentially you want one that is tied to the ignition. The best place to tap...

Sure, I had given some though to that - it really depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go, so to speak. For example, you'll want a decent size battery made by a decent company - I wouldn't go bargin-basement on something I'm essentially going to leave in my car - so there's $60-90...

The popular one on XDA seems to be the MK809 III, but it gets a lot of flak for weak wifi. There are some other suggestions in this thread somewhere. The trick is, you'll need to do some stuff with your phone anyway because you're probably going to want wi-fi tethering - even if right now you...

Yes, several folks do that. Just make sure on your stick it's set for a media profile only in BT settings and vice versa for your phone. What stick are you going to use? There's a ton out there, but not many good ones for this purpose.

Probably better to ask in the Screen Standby thread, there's one here on XDA.

Strange, Xposed and the GravityBox plugin for it are usually pretty stable, but there are lots of phones and OS combinations so you might have run in to a weird bug. Did you post the details in the Xposed thread? Thinking about it, yeah, if you have a Samsung or whatever with hard buttons then...

You need to have the parking brake set. If you have a bypass installed you might have problems because for some reason that setting specifically looks for a parking break being set and technically the bypass doesn't do that (make the AppRadio think the PB is always set, that is). Edit: I looked...

All I do, before I automated the process with Tasker, is go in to the phone settings and turn it on/off there. A few seconds after it reconnects ARU jumps in to action. Is your ROM 4.4? I hear this is a common problem with BT on 4.4. I have an N5 with 4.4.2.

What happens when you bounce BT after this happens? I.e. turn it off, then on again on the phone while ARU, etc are running. Because I have that problem all the time which is why I use Tasker to bounce it. At first I didn't, it just started happening after a couple days, I think it's something...

See my Tasker setup from the last page. Short answer is use Tasker to turn BT off, then on, then launch ARU. ---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ---------- What phone/Android version? Knox shouldn't matter for root, that comes in to play more if you...

Fast-forward/rewind. Scrubbing these days means when you touch the progress bar for your player and "scrub" it backwards or forwards depending on where you want to go in the song/movie.

I use the PAC-SWI with mine and it just works no matter what order. However, in Android (Google Play Music, for example) scrubbing doesn't work, only track next/previous (and volume of course). Is that the case with yours? Scrubbing works with the default Car Media player.

Sure. I set up two profiles, one for HDMI Plugged, one for Unplugged. I then set up a task for each, I called them Car Connect and Car Disconnect. Note: I have an N5 with 4.4 which means I need to bounce the BT connection. Also Screen Standby doesn't work with it right so I removed that. Apps...

Lots of people do with newer devices - what is your phone/version? With my N5 4.4.2 it's never worked right, the screen will turn off but it turns back on. Looks like development on that app stopped about 6 months ago so who knows if it'll be fixed. I briefly tried another app called Screen...

You have it backwards. The GPS injector allows apps that use GPS but weren't designed with the AppRadio in mind to use the HU GPS. Apps like Waze (the other is Navfree, and I believe the same is true with Google Maps) are AppRadio compatible, meaning if they detect an AppRadio they will use the...

Back in the days before AppRadio was a thing with Pioneer they came out with some AVIC receivers for the US that had Pandora built in to them - the display didn't stream from the device (iPhone in this case), that was built in, only the audio streamed. You had to use a special Pioneer version of...

On another note, For those of you who use GravityBox (and you should, it's awesome) but don't pay attention to updates - there have been a couple updates recently, the last on the 12th, and one of the new features is GravityBox now supports shortcut actions for a number of different things -...

It didn't. However, I'm on 4.4.2 and the method I described above with Tasker (disable BT, wait, connect BT, wait, launch ARU) does work, every time. I also have BT on normally, so my phone connects the AP3 first before I plug in my Slimport adapter - don't know if that makes a difference...

Ok, thanks. I did install Pandora but I don't know what just installing it would do - now, *running* it, I could see, because the Pandora app has a built in connection to the AppRadio 3 already via BT (they merged it from the old Pandora Pioneer connect app but you probably know that). I could...

Well, that didn't work (BT connection issue). Area51, is there a way I can enable logs/otherwise help you see this issue? Here's the problem in a nutshell: N5, 4.2.2, stock, rooted. Most of the time (well over 75%) when I try to connect ARU it hangs on 75% and doesn't go through. Using...

For 4.4.2 (N5, stock) I updated BusyBox (1.21) and made sure it was installed correctly/linked (the free app on the Play store makes this process easier) as I've read that may be a source of problems. I'm disabling my Tasker rules that bounce the BT connection to see if I can get a 100%...

Johmama is right (I feel a little ridiculous typing that). Paying what these companies charge for accidental damage insurance on a device that costs $350/$400 brand new doesn't make sense. The math will almost never work out in your favor. Paying $300 for 3 years on a $2500 laptop like the...

Also doesn't work right for me on a Nexus 5, the one-two dim method doesn't seem to work half of the time either. Using with Slimport/Appradio 3.

Use Tasker to bounce your BT connection after you connect HDMI and before you load ARU. I don't know what that bug is, but I get it all the time too - BT connects the phone/HU, connect HDMI, load ARU, but ARU doesn't "see" the BT connection. Bouncing BT usually does it. Hopefully it'll get...

Nice app, decent idea, wish more devices had the tap to wake hardware module like the G2, because this thing sucks the N5 battery like nothing else. Proximty sensor used by it triggers hundreds of partial wakelocks & my N5 battery wouldn't even last half a day as a result. Uninstalled, back to...

I have the same. I managed to get my phone button to work in my Nissan Titan but only by running a lead down to the built-in BT wiring under the passenger seat. I did that long before any of this though, that was for my old HU. My steering wheel controls change volume, tracks (even in apps like...

Are you getting an error message or does the app otherwise not work? I though apps like Waze communicated directly with the HU GPS when plugged in, without needing the injector. You sure it isn't just using that? What about NavFree, the other Pioneer-approved map app?

Being able to hide the Netgear is key. You really ought to look in to tasker, you can easily automate all of that. If you are using AllShare to get it to auto-connect do this: Install Tasker and Secure Settings. You can do all kinds of fun things with those besides this but that is besides the...

I've been meaning to ask you about this as I'm looking to get the Push2TV adapter to do the same thing. What model? Is it this one: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Push2TV-Wireless-Miracast-Certified/dp/B00904JILO/ref=dp_ob_title_ce Is there any special setup you need to do to get it to work...

This might be an odd question, but I was setting up ARU with my Nexus 5 on my AppRadio 3, configuring Tasker and all that, and I was prepared to install the parking brake bypass - I'm in the US, and got one off Amazon - but I've noticed that it doesn't seem to need it? With my N5 using Slimport...

We can't change the topic but if it really bugs you PM the OP. Threads evolve; it happens, don't rely on the first post/topic for the most up to date info. The Tylt has the highest power spec of any wireless Qi charger I know of and three coils as opposed to one or two. This lets it charge...

Is your screen on (Daydream, third party clock, launcher option, etc) at all while you are charging? If my N5 is off while charging on my Tylt it gets warmer than it should (according to Better Battery, which tracks temps on a graph) but not enough to trip off the overheat warning and stop...

I don't know for sure, it's just a theory. It seems like an awful coincidence that the area of the N5 that gets super-hot sometimes is where the metal disks are. Qi chargers are supposed to be good at varying rates to overcome that and rejecting "foreign" objects but the VU doesn't do a good job...

I think Mr. Sprinkles hit it on the head - foreign object detection doesn't appear to work well and the N5 is the only Qi-compatible phone I know of that has metal disks inside the back (ironically enough, for charger alignment using Google's own Qi pad). Add to it the fact that the Tylt VU has...
