BACKSTORY: So I just got my Nexus Player about three days ago. I used stock for all of a day and had no issues. I decided I would try Lollirock v2.1. It loaded with no issues and I was able to get it working. I don't have an OTG adapter so I used ADB to configure the wireless and then found ADBControl to control the device through ADB. I got it working but found that it really didn't align with my desires. I also began having Bluetooth issues with the remote. The remote would randomly drop pairing.
I came home from work the other day and found that the box was not responding over wireless. I just reset power to it and, upon recovery, the wireless and Bluetooth were no longer responding (icons gone from status bar too). I decided this was some sort of Lollirock flakiness. I flashed the device to stock LMY47V. The device recovered and it was apparent that Bluetooth didn't work. I couldn't pair the remote and the device wasn't visible when I pressed the button on the bottom. I was able to pair the remote to my phone so this ruled out a remote issue.
I reflashed Lollirock so I had USB debugging by default and attempted to research in a root shell. I was unable to activate wireless. I saw a random suggestion that wireless issues could have been caused by the Use Network Time setting so I disabled that on Lollirock with no better results.
PROBLEM: Wireless doesn't work at all. In a shell, netcfg is not showing a wlan0. I can't seem to make progress because of this. I assume Bluetooth is trashed because of the same problem as with the wireless. I tried flashing an older stock package with no luck. It seems dead, Jim. Any suggestions?

I never resolved the issue and ultimately replaced the device with a FireTV instead. I'm much happier with the Amazon device.

I have flashed probably 30 nexus players with lollirock never once had a problem! I wonder if you had the wrong file in folder or bad download. I left a root.img from nexus 6 in platform-tools and it booted but was acting crazy but remembered that it was for nexus 6 and reflashed was all good!
if you have access to a usb keyboard of some sort and an plug into your nexus player, find and download (sideload) an android terminal app. in the command prompt, enter:
su
service call bluetooth_manager 8
service call bluetooth_manager 6
i found that info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/bluetooth-issues-sixaxis-app-t2987998
hope that helps.
So my YoCam camera arrived, and excited to receive my new kickstarter toy, I tried to connect it to my phone following the basic instructions.
Phone sees and connects to the device via wireless, but the app refuses to connect. However using other android phones will allow me to connect to the camera, using exactly the same process., so it does not appear at least at a basic level, an android or an app issue.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, or can suggest some troubleshooting tools so i can get a better view of what is going on.
Thanks
Hi, Not that this helps: I have exactly the same but on a Samsung Note 3 running cyanogenmod 6.0.1. When connecting to my Samsung tab S2 with standard Android no problem.
Are you running a alternative rom on your phone or standard?
Edit: see also Faq at getyocam.com
Hope someone could help me with this. I have been using an iPhone for the last 5 years and in such I have a Pioneer Appradio 4. I am trying to see if I could make the android jump and purchase a S7 edge.
My Appradio supports mirrorlink as well as Appradio live which is garbage.
What I have been reading is there is no Mhl / hdmi support on an s7. However mirrorlink is available on the phone. Is anyone able to confirm that the S7 will connect via mirrorlink on my Appradio? I have been looking everywhere for an answer but most of the stuff is for the older galaxy phones. Sorry if I'm a bit ignorant to searching android stuff I've been chained to iOS and CarPlay for too long.
*Side question-- with Miracast do you lose all connectivity to cell data?
Thanks for all the help in advance
If your Pioneer Carplay head unit supports also Android Auto you can use this method for connecting.
Miracast doesn't interfere with the phone running data connections (wifi or mobile).
Unfortunately it doesn't support android auto. Which is pretty lame.
I dont't know about your head unit, but generally Mirrorlink should work also with the Samsung S7 Edge.
Thanks for the info now my only question is will it work with ARunchained reloaded once this is set I'll be ordering my Galaxy and getting off this iOS nonsense

For that app to work it's required to root the Galaxy S7Edge.
Anyway, if you're not used with Galaxy rooting, Knox and related possible Samsung warranty limitations, you can find these information on the forum. Moreover, to be able to root you need to buy the Exynos version, not the Qualcomm 820.

Okay good I found it on the website it has the exynos processor. Once it's rooted and I change everything I should be able to run this app then? I messaged Area51 hopefully he will message back regarding it. Thanks again for all the info and help.

Yes it works
I can confirm you that Galaxy S7 works with mirrorlink and the AppRadio 4. The sound and video quality are simply perfect. I have been using MHL before with Sony Xperia and ARU, mirrorlink is better. The only issues are the restrictions that mirrorlink implements in the navigation, no recent apps none slide notifications, etc. Hope some friend could mod "Samsung Mirriorlink.app" to break freee these limitations but also in the current situation i recomend you to use mirrorlink with Galaxuy S7 because as I said, the stability and quality are just perfect.
appradio 4 mirror link
did u have to disable android auto?

so it will only work with rooting your s7 edge? if so how do I root my s7 edge? I to want to use mirrorlink with the sph-da120
I Just installed the SPH-120 and I can only get my Galaxy s7 to connect to blue tooth. Tried the developer mode with USB debugging, Switched to MTP configurations, and both USB ports along with multiple APPS. and I cannot get it to connect.
When I connect to the second USB port, Both the phone and radio attempt to connect but the phone screen shuts off and the radio says incompatible USB (original cable).
Hi how do you connect wich cables you use to get it working like you say?

I just created an account here so I can add a reply in case anyone struggles to get MirrorLink to work. I got an SPH-DA120 to work with my Samsung S7 Edge. I went through the same process of connecting the phone, seeing the connected message on the phone screen, and then the SPH-DA120 screen says "Incompatible USB." I thought it was an error but it was simply my failure to understand MirrorLink. You have to first get a certified MirrorLink app on your phone and then choose the home button (or whatever it is...looks like a Windows 7 start menu) and your certified MirrorLink apps will show up there. When you choose the USB/Ipod2 source the HU will always say "Incompatible USB." In my case I used RockScout, which then gives you access to everything on the phone by selecting a "Choose Source" option--that mirrors your phone's screen and provides a gateway to everything on your phone.
Maybe this process is common knowledge about MirrorLink but I spent way too much time googling this and trying random things to get the phone to connect. Something else worth noting is you need a high quality USB cable. The HU seems fine with USB extensions (even cheap ones) but it requires a high quality cable to connect to the phone. Some work, some don't. Not even all Samsung cables work.
One more thing...I actually contacted Pioneer's customer support to get assistance with this. To my surprise they replied to my initial email within an hour. That's impressive for customer support at a large company like that. Admittedly I figured out that the USB cable was the problem shortly after I sent the email but the quick response from them was nice.
Can somebody confirm if a non rooted Galaxy S7 can MirrorLink using rockscout while in motion using the 7000nex soft touch bypass? Trying to mirror every app and function while in motion using the nex. This includes YouTube, Google maps, chrome etc
Great information here. I just started driving a Jeep with appradio 4 in it . I have a galaxy s8 plus. Any advice what to do?
Still stuck with my note 8. Stock android Mirrorlink works but very limited. I tried with rockscout, button savior, LG mirrordrive app etc to screen mirror my phone but n way. The only fault is with Messenger pop-up showing nicely on my car screen. So I tried rooting my phone with magisk and hide my root but the Mirrorlink app is not working anymore. When connected to my phone it says authentification not valid... and the database is no more the same when I want to add some apps in pkgnames...
Hi,
I have problem with mirrorlink pioneer sph-da110 with galaxy s7 edge when I connet via usb I see mirrorlink in appradio. I click in mirrorlink then I see Lg Mirrordrive an I choose this after that I have dark screen and nothing else happens. Somebody can help my where is problem?
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my android head unit (Android 9, Quad-Core, 2GB RAM, MTCE_GS_V3.30_1) Hal9k mod installed.
I used a Carlinkit CPC200-Autokit PRO wireless Carplay dongle without any problems. One day my iPhone X suddenly stopped connecting to the dongle with the message: Unsupported accessory. I contacted the reseller, but he told me that everything should work fine and there cant be any problem. Then I contacted Carlinkit, they told me the same.
I was really confused about that so I tried to update the dongle with a USB stick result: The dongle is detected by AutoKit app, AutoKit shows: "connecting" the green wheel spinns and the app crashes
So if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know :fingers-crossed:.
But there is a second problem... I bought a new Carplay Dongle Model CPC200-Auto-CA. The problem with this dongle is, its using the AutoPlayBox APK. If you plug in the dongle, the blue LED lights up for a few seconds and thats basicly all. The AutoPlayBox app does not detect the dongle, it only shows: please insert Box into USB port. If you plug in an iPhone it starts charging but in the AutoPlayBox app nothing happens. The pheriphals check in AutoPlayBox app shows that everything is fine, mic, usb etc. everything is detected.
I know this all may sound a bit strange but I hope somebody sends me help. I'm an absolutely beginner in this stuff. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks for your help, greetings from germany!
@techjulius
Could it be possible that the sudden stop could be related to any IOS update?
What could help:
Make a factory reset at the head unit and try again. If that does not help... no clue.
The CPC200 needs to get an activated USB-Debugging in developer options. Did you try that?

Thanks for your reply.
There was an iOS and dongle update few days before, after updating everything worked quite well until day X.
I've tried 2 factory resets, but nothing changed. USB-Debugging was enabled all the time.

Then someone else needs to jump in, because my skills about IOS and CarPlay are not that good to give further hints.
I had this happen to me the other day. A reboot on my iPhone fixed the connection issue.
Side note I'm on iOS 14
Super late, but i have the same issue and i can't find a solution anywhere. Did u end up fixing it?
I am trying to turn my shield tablet into basically an android TV box. I am trying to get Prime, Netflix, and Cinema apk to play on tablet and cast to Roku box. I used to be able to do it no problem. I do not know what changed. I am running Triodexe 15.1 Lineage. I am trying to cast to my Roku Ultra. I know your devices have to be on the same wireless network which they are. If it isn't the tablet doing it the only thing I can think of that possibly changed is ROM and now my wireless network just has one network name for both 2.4 and 5. This new router just sets up one network and prioritizes devices automatically for which network the device will use. As far as ROM I cannot remember which one I had it working on. Is anyone else able to confirm casting is working on this app?
Update - When using Lineage I could not get my PS4 to connect via Bluetooth. This was in addition to not being able to use the cast button. I ended up finding a solution to the casting problem. I downloaded Cast to TV-Xcast from the Google play store once it was setup I was able to detect my wifi connection and get it setup. I decided to experiment trying get the PS4 controller working. I seen Magisk actually has a module to add support for the PS4. I installed it and it did not work. Therefore, I decided to try another custom ROM. I am now running ASOP 6.7 with Pie Android 9. I still have the cast problem on it but my controller now pairs. So, it took some monkeying around but I solved those issues.
It seams like we have a couple good ROMs for this device which are close to working perfectly and then the people building them stop. I know Lineage had official builds of 14.1 and 15.1. Somewhere there has to be on o hei builds floated around that is stable. Then, the proper patches can be applied to it. I have tried looking into building images myself but that is over my head. I have a PC I just built that is more than fast enough. I have a Ryzen 7 3600, 32gb of RAM, and more than enough SSD space. I wish someone could connect to my PC and remotely build images, or they could remotely help setup my PC and show me how to do it. Then, I would keep the forum updated with new builds. If I could figure it out I would help out building images for other devices as well.
