VBLUE42 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 The Rdio issue has nothing to do with the App Radio app and is a known issue from Rdio. They also don't seem to know weather they will fix it or not. Link to post Share on other sites
mikedecaro Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Just wanted to post about my response from Pioneer tech support regarding touch events, maybe it is the source of Mike's problem with the iPhone 5 touch events. I just happened to try the AppRadio app "Rdio" using an iPhone 5 on the Z150. The touch events would not register correctly and the screen is stretched out the right side of the Pioneer screen. This is an official AppRadio app. This happens whether AppExt is installed or not. I emailed Pioneer tech support and was told that they have discovered a problem with the AppRadio iPhone app when using the iPhone 5. Some apps are not registering touch events in the correct location and the screen is also sometimes stretched out of the boundary of the Pioneer display...this is using officially supported apps. They said they are working on an updated AppRadio app that is going to fix the iPhone touch event/display problems and it should be out soon. I wonder if this may help Mike solve the touch event problem, maybe even be the source of the problem? Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully this corrects some of the iPhone 5 issues reported here.

hitman80 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 VBLUE, I guess Pioneer tech support could be wrong. They told me that the problem with touch events and stretching is their problem and the engineers have already worked on an AppRadio iOS app update. They said they have discovered similar issues in other apps as well. I haven't used any of the other supported apps though. Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 There may be an issue with the AR app in this regard but the issue with Rdio is a bug in that app. I have reported it to them and they replied that they are aware and are working on an update. Unfortunately others have reported that they were told that Rdio has no intention of updating the app to address any issues with App Radio. Time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites
preamble Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 The Beej App had the exact same problem as Rdio has and the Beej people released an updated that fixed the problems. Rdio gave me a bullsh!t response back when I asked them about it months ago. I will give them to the end of the month then cancel my subscription and move to another service.

waterzedge Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi, I am also new to the site and would like to know if its possible to use the app extentions on the new pioneer 8500BHS. I have the app radio app, Jailbroke iphone 5 running version 6.1. If it s not available now, Mike do u see it being possible in future? The HU is great but would like to be able to use more of the unsupported apps from the phone. Right now I can mirror anything through the display but have no touch functions on the HU other than the basic supported ones like pandora. Not sure that this HU has advanced app mode? Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance Yes works with 8500 and iPhone 5. Touch works too with newest appex version. If you install let me know if you run into an issue with appradio crashing after 20 seconds of not touching the screen. I have your same setup and everything works except that.

waterzedge Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Thanks for the reply Aznluder. I read through most pages of the post. I think i'm still missing something. I downloaded all dependencies and the 2.0.0-173 in cydia. I dont know how open an unsupported app. I'll read back through the post to see if i missed something but any advice is appreciated.

Aznluder Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 You mean you don't see any unsupported apps in the head unit? In settings -> appex, make sure unsupported apps is enabled and you have each app you want shown turned on in "show in menu" And do full reboot if you haven't already.

Yes make sure you check in the STOCK Settings app and then scroll down to AppEx settings. Link to post Share on other sites
waterzedge Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yes didnt see any unsupported apps on the HU or the phone. Doing a reeboot now. Are the settings you refer to on the phone or HU ? I dont see App Ex settings in either location. Thanks for replies and please overlook my ignorance on this. Link to post Share on other sites
