How is the app able to communicate to the Pi if network is disconnected ?
Is your Onkyo connected on the network (app-->network-->Onkyo-->HDMI-->Pi) or does your pad/phone transmit via infrared (app-->IR-->Onkyo-->HDMI-->Pi) ?

I cant help alot as I believe my AV receiver is too old for CEC but maybe someone else with Onkyo can help.

Ps. a little side note, HDMI 1.4 cables include ethernet as well.
