HDMI + Gingerbread = No GPS

Here's an interesting problem: Using an hdmi dock with an hdmi cable on the newest Sprint Gingerbread rom seems to kill GPS. When I bring up Google Maps it just can't find the satellites.
I don't know if the rom has anything to do with it but I do know that this rom acts with a different set of rules than the previous ones.
If I use the dock with the 3.5mm audio out and unplug the hdmi cable it works fine.
I know I'm probably the only person the planet that uses a Tab this way but if anyone has gotten this configuration to work please let me know so I know that I'm not crazy.
thanks

Mine works fine.
Tmo tab on latest overcome.

I have the same problem as you with HTC Sensation. Did you found the solution?

Not really. I have a theory that connecting the HDMI out is unbalancing the GPS antenna. I might start cutting wires and isolating the ground but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Well I've tried a new hdmi dock, 2 different hdmi receivers, and even a galaxy tab 7.0 plus. It seems to be endemic to Samsung's hardware.
Time to try a Springboard

Enable Android Auto UI?

Hi @ all,
I now own an Pioneer AppRadio 4 (SPH-DA120) and use it along with the "AppRadio Unchained Reloaded" app and my HTC One M7 running Lollipop.
My phone is connected to the head unit via HDMI/MHL and touch input is send to the phone via bluetooth with the help of the "AR Unchained" app.
That combination works, but I am interested in getting the Android Auto UI to show up on my head unit, because I like that clean Home style without its NotificationBar and so on.
Is there any possibility to switch my phone to Auto mode, so it gets rendered on my mobile device and that way send to the head unit via mhl?

I search th is and no luck, but should be posibble, in iphone is posible enable carplay with jailbreak and cydia app call "ignition", hope this feature in android soon

Appradioforums.com might be of use. It was back in the days of when I had my appradio 2

I have the Appradio 3 with the same setup.. I think this would be a really simple MOD, and should be possible.

You must download this fresh android auto app and plug in phone to radio via usb

Android auto not compatible with airtel nexus 6
Not compatible with my nexus 6

Not compatible with my Nexus 5 running Android 5.1 Lollipop either.

[Q] Mirror Link

I am trying to get Samsung's car mode app to work via mirror link with my Pioneer appradio 3. When I go into the settings/more/mirrorlink, only the phone app shows up as working. Does anybody have any other working options or know how to get Samsung's working?
Also, my phone does connect to the radio.

Does the radio have bluetooth? I believe mirror link only works with tvs that are wifi enabled. The radio must have wifi connected and you can see the radio in mirror link but other than that it wont work

The radio says its mirror link enabled. If you check the website for mirror link its actually a system used to send info from a phone to a car. And the setting in the phone says to connect to your car through USB.

Short answer mirrorlink is broken the current version 1.1 does not work with the older version 1.0 on older head units like appradio 3, I have a htc one m9 with the same issue.

Thanks fort the reply. Hopefully they can get this figured out.

PS3 Controller with Gear VR - No root ???

Hello.
I watched many tutorials and videos about using ps3 on android but all I see is 2 options:
1. OTG cable
2. Root + Sixaxis enabler.
I do not want to root my s6edge+ and can't use otg cable while phone is connected to Gear Vr since it does not recognize it.
Is there any way to be able to use ps3 controller without root on Gear Vr?
Thanks
BR.

I might be wrong on this, but I think the PS3 controller needs root to manage the bluetooth driver. The PS4 controller would be the "no root wireless" option, but right now, i'm having issues getting it to work. I'm able to pair the controller, but not connect it. It seems that once it's paired, it defaults back to the PS4. I see this is a common problem with the new flagship Galaxy devices. It seems maybe a bluetooth problem.

Not only that, but you usually also need a custom rom/kernel in order for it to work (at least on my Note 4; stock rooted rom won't work with the PS3 controller).

I am also having this exact same issue. It's been driving me insane. I have bought an OTG cable and everything trying to get them working together but it also doesn't seem to work for me cabled.
Has anyone found any resolutions to this yet that anyone knows of? Really wanna play Demonhalls etc on Gear VR but can't get the controller to work! :'(

Yeah I can't get the ps3 to work either. I can pair the ps4 controller and it works for a little bit then it starts acting crazy. I bought an ASUS controller for $25 that works great except for not having a start button lol. Can't play anything in the arcade. I can't win.
I have a note 5 by the way.

Android Auto / Apple Carplay via T Link app

Hey there
so i saw this app called T Link the other day being used by someone that claimed to bring wireless carplay to every Android Head Unit.
Does this app work? I tried it out myself and i keep gettings errors but no connection.
Does the app need Root Acces maybe?

Link to the app. The only thing I find is a screen mirroring app with bad reviews, specific to JVC headunits, which uses a USB connection, and has nothing to do with either Carplay or Android Auto.
First, if it provides Carplay capability to an AA headunit, it would run on an iPhone (IOS), not Android. Second, if a headunit doesn't support wireless AA, no app is going to allow a Carplay device to connect to it wirelessly, so "every Android Head Unit" - nope.
Seems you're missing something here.

Hi. I dont know about apple product but as far as an android user the T-link app provides for me wireless AA without fail.
Have not once experienced a dropout of connection loss or anything.
Only issue is what is an AA issue, and thats maps not being able to switch day/night mode by itself
Best regards
Using Tlink 1.7.7

The Tlink app is installed on ur android headunit. It connects your phone, either android or Ios to AA.
So he is actually spot on in his discovery
Best regards

Hey guys thanks for the help but I think the problem that I am having is a different one now.
So my headhunt does not support Apple CarPlay from the start.
I bought a adapter and tried to install the app that It comes with but nothing… no signal.
So the issue seams so be that there is not enough power coming out of the USB port.
When I use a splitter and plug the end for power into the lighter usb charger and the data one into the usb dongle it works no problem but it looks ****ty …
Any way or any adapter that I can get this fixed with?

Btw the head unit charges my phone without the adapter for about 3 seconds and then it Just shuts off

So, has nothing to do with Android Auto, where apps are not installed on the head unit. So, he's actually completely missed the mark for posting in the wrong forum.

Yes and no. Since you use the Tlink app to connect to AA. And that is installed on Head unit. Its not really a AA question, but related to that.
Since some need either Tlink or Zlink to connect to AA it might be more correct to move to a different thread than one thats about AA, but then again.
Im not a mod so not sure =)
But this is a different matter and not what was supposed to be the topic
Some with a bigger brain will surely help us out

I have seen someone talking about an adapter for this specific reason, but tbh you might wanna look in the headunit threads.
Tho if you google adapter for carplay there is quite a few hits, tho seems expensive.
Try and look in TS10 / Px6 head unit threads, there are some clever ppl there who is really helpfull
Best regards
