There is no backlight on an AMOLED screen. The pixels themselves light up. It turns the brightness down to 0, which isn't the same as shutting off the backlight. BTW, this does not work on my S3. If the screen brightness is turned to 0, the phone goes into standby mode.

Correct

Double tap the home button and then use the mix feature.

Pioneer will never get it right. Certain things don't work because Pioneer doesn't allow them to work. They're afraid of getting sued.

Use ARLiberator from the Play Store and you'll have no problems with using the touch screen for ANYTHING you throw at it. It sucks that Pioneer has made us have to use a workaround, but that app makes the radio do everything that it should have from the start.

I've been saying for a while that my phone charges fine with mhl. Ever since ARLiberator became my primary means of using the radio I can't keep the phone charged. The only thing I can think of as a culprit is the fact that the phone has to use it's internal GPS for mapping now.

Thanks. I figured that one out this morning. Felt like an idiot for not checking the settings. lol

The latest beta isn't working on my S3. I got through the calibration, but all of the x,y inputs seem to be messed up. The buttons on the deck don't work either.

It's phone-side only. Check out the forum at http://www.appradioforums.com for detailed info. I'm not sure how much I should discuss here. I've never noticed pixels getting cut off of my S3's MHL output. How much of the screen gets cut off for you? My phone gets REALLY hot with MHL on. I think the best way available to deal with that is to turn the brightness of the screen all the way down. It still gets hot though.

I believe the Jellybean thread had a comment on that. All of the third party apps need an update to work with the newest version of the Appradio app.

You need to donate to receive the beta. It's phone-side only.

Terrible glare.

What's the verdict? I'm going to update to Jellybean if it works.

SWEET!

Also of note, JB will be available for the S3 by the end of the month. I'll give them until then to fix that issue or I'll fabricate a custom deck out of a tablet.
