FYI The firmware is up and working. There was a problem with telenav on the 4s but the app has now been updated. Samsung has unfortunately not released their drivelink software in the US but you can find the EU APK if you search for it.

Has anyone tried to hook up a USB spdif sound card to their head unit? If so did you have any luck getting it to work?

"Seems like a joke"

I have to agree. I hate it when manufacturers introduce artificial restrictions to stop you using the device to it's full potential.

I don't think it will be possible to control the entire phone. Having read the entire specification, it seems that the head-unit, has ultimate say over what can or can't be displayed.

In addition to that, it also seems that it will be at the whim of the phone manufacturers as to which phones will be supported. Although Mirrorlink itself it built on tried and tested protocols, such as VNC and UPnP, there are some extensions added, one of which is the verification of devices using crypto keys, so it's not like we will be able to write our own versions of the software on the phone side.

I thought this technology would be awesome when I first read about it. Now I'm thinking it just another good idea manufacturers will f**k up.

There is a new version of DriveLink (1.1.024) where u can add every app as an shortcut.

Can somebody check if the headunit will show all apps now?

I have only the Galaxy S3 but not the Sony HU jet.

I only want to use navigation and spotify in my car :(
[Android Head-Units] EvoJJ:
I've had a bit of a look around on here but been unable to find anything of relevance to the Xperia S.

Is there any chance that installing a custom Rom on the Xperia S will allow the use of the drivelink app to use the phone with the xav601bt, or am I going to have to bin it and purchase an S3 to use it? The whole purpose of the head unit was to use the GPS from my phone on it, but seeing as I don't have a compatible Nokia/Samsung device I think I'm out of luck.

Anyone been successful in getting it to work?

Although you can add the shortcuts whilst the phone is disconnected from the head unit they are not visible when you connect and the Samsung Apps icon is greyed out.

I'm getting close to buying this unit. I can't get definitive answers even from Sony. I have a Xperia T. It has mlh/hdmi out and can be mirrored on my tv. It seems to have all the software and hardware for it to work with the head unit but the only way to know for sure it to buy and test.

I find it crazy that this phone isn't officially supported.

[Android Head-Units] murso74:
the ONLY phone that is officially supported in the US is the galaxy s3. and its pretty pitiful from what i've heard. i wouldn't buy this unit with the expectations of getting mirrorlink, even though it is a sony phone you have. i have the 601 and i've had nothing but problems with it. NOT RECOMMENDED

Xperia Z and T apparently?

Just purchased the XAV601BT and I'm hoping to hook it up to my new Sony head unit. I have an Xperia Arc S.

I took the time to speak to both Xperia support in the UK, who said the Z and T were supported, but she was unsure about my Xperia Arc S.

I then spoke to the car stereo people (US based judging by the accent/ring tone) and he said that it _should_ be supported but he did sound like a bit of a robot, reading between the lines.

The unit is in the car, and I have an HDMI lead. Will test first to see if I can get it working... but two possible issues, number 1 is that I run Cyanogen Mod 10 on the rooted Xperia Arc S and I've not been able to hook it up to a TV via HDMI. Nothing shows on screen at all.

If I get no output, I will slot my USB in with the firmware update .bin file and try again. If I still get no joy, I might be tempted to either take the phone back to the standard software OR ring Sony again and chisel away at them.

Fingers crossed.

Cheers,

JG
[Android Head-Units] johnnyboydotcc:

Since it's been almost a year after the last "bad" comments above. Does it work better?

I'm trying to find a Double DIN Car Deck and I found this one at a decent price with MirrorLink technologie.

I'm trying to find some informations, but it's seems a little confused.

Can I use my build-in Google Maps?

Can I listen to MP3 onto my memory stick and used functions of the MirrorLink ?

Thanks! :)

Anybody experiencing this?
[Android Head-Units] xcrosstip:
Other uses

I know this is an old thread, but I've got some other questions...

Has anyone tried to put additional apps on the 601bt? They added telenav and Pandora on an update last year. I'd like to add torque to put some gages on the screen instead of having to use my phone or an external device. If all else fails, I suppose I can pick up one of those mini-android computers with Bluetooth and a RCA adapter, but I'd rather not do that since I basically have an android already in the dash. Or has anyone "rooted" these and put some other kind of android ROM on it? Thoughts, attempts, etc?
[Android Head-Units] drakeshreddy@ymail.com:
First Sony stopped support to XAV 601 BT models.

Second off there are no devs who can help us with this.

XAV 601 Bt Back Up Camera not auto turning on when Backing up.

I dont know If this is happening for just me or every one !!

I have XAV601Bt in my 2012 Civic. I grounded the Video Cable so that I can watch Video even though I am not in Parked position.

I recently Installed Back Up Camera. And Hooked pwer source to my BackUp tail Light. (When i put in Reverse camera turns on).

But When Ever I put in Reverse My Head Unit is not autoDetecting the camera. I need to go to Main menu and click on Camera icon to turn On Camera. This is annoying.

I would think it will autodetect the camera and pop up the camera options.

Any suggestion on how to do that?
[Android Head-Units] LazyFao:
It will. You should also connect +12V from taillights to +12V input of main connector at the back side of head unit. See installation manual for details.

[Android Head-Units] ScrapMaker:
AppRadio really isn't worthy... the tech is very old. The screen is garbage... sigh... the market just sucks on this right now.
[Android Head-Units] nonyhaha:
I bought a second hand appradio 2, 100 pounds, better than giving away 300 pounds on a new unit without real screen mirror..
[Android Head-Units] ScrapMaker:
Honestly, if you're using the HDMI+BT method, there's no benefit over the original model. That's ultimately my complaint with AppRadio. They are wasting away in a market they could be dominating for the foreseeable future, yet someone will easily come in and wipe them out.

That screen is atrocious. I'd be happy with an OEL or transflextive 1080p screen, but they aren't trying on either of those fronts.
[Android Head-Units] GuizmoPhil:
In case people are still looking into this head unit, after many wasted hours trying to make MirrorLink work between my XAV-601BT and my Xperia Z1 Compact, I can confirm that the last build from Sony Xperia that had the MirrorLink working was 14.3.A.0.757. (Android 4.4.2)

All newer ROMs from Sony and custom firmware I have tried got the MirrorLink broken or simply incompatible with the way the XAV-601BT.

Which makes this head unit pretty much useless if you wanted MirrorLink and you posses a newer phone.

I had to downgrade from 14.4.A.0.108 (4.4.4) to 14.3.A.0.757 (4.4.2) in order to get my MirrorLink working.

So Sony can't even get things to work correctly between their own devices...

Hi guys I've got the 602bt and it seems to freeze on load up any way i can flash it as It seems a software issue
[Android Head-Units] steve_htc_wizard:
waking an old thread as after years of hoping something would happen to these units allowing us to gain access to the Android O.S hiding behind sonys skin, it seems they are now so old that many have probably long given up.

My Unit is the 602BT but its essentially the same as the 601BT

I have tried many combinations of buttons on the unit, nothing. Tried keyboards and mice and sony know what your upto and block it as i think keyboard access would get you past their UI

I found something yesterday that i had not seen before and that is a test mode, the function allows testing and debugging of certain things like video and audio but i have not poked around with it much and have not tried to use a mouse or keyboard while in Test mode yet.

Has anyone else played around in it?

To get into test mode you need to be on the home screen with no source active, then you use the IR remote and press 4 then 5 then hold 0 for 2 seconds.

beware, i dont know if you can go into the mode, touch nothing and exit as you were before as i messed about a little and my headunit was factory reset after so i had to set all my EQ, crossovers ect again which only takes a couple of mins but will get annoying if it happens just from accessing the test mode each time.

Noob Questions:

1. I was on VeNuM 6.0 (ICS) and used widget that I think was called photo gallery. It was a picture widget that had four pictures stacked over one another. If you swiped the top picture it would rotate through the pictures. Would anybody be able to give me the file name and extension? I searched the Market but I could not find it.

2. Can I extract it from the ROM and install it on the new ROM (Wicked) I am currently using?

I understand if it was a .apk I can use 7zip and copy it then use Root Explorer to copy it into the correct file. Correct?

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Yea that should work. Extract it from the rom and then push it to /system/app with rw-r--r-- permissions and reboot.

I'm leaning and upgrade on the 16th. Been wanting the s2 but glad I've waited. The vibes been a work horse only bricking on me that 1 time I think because of CM6.5.
[Vibrant General] MadJoe:
I'm turned off by the size, and TouchWiz. So much so that I didn't regret springing for the One S after seeing it. But not having a removable battery is really bugging me, so I'm considering it for the first time. Not to mention HTC pulled a fast one about unlocking the bootloader. Sure, they'll unlock it, but you still have S-on, and they won't change that. That's a huge advantage to the Samsungs. They don't lock anything. Might give the HOS to the wife if I can bring myself to get the GS3...but the size really bugs me. I need to see it in person to decide.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
The size really won't get less. I honestly hope it does not get bigger than this, because after this it should just be classified as something along the lines of the Galaxy Note, which is huge for a phone.

Touchwiz, I don't get why people hate it so much, is it just that they hate the manufacturer modifying the look, or is it just touchwiz?

I have loved Touchwiz since the first day. Their music app is superior and has more eye candy than any other music player I've seen (not too many options like poweramp etc. though) I do agree they theme it too much, but after all it is all eyecandy and don't tell me that once your on XDA that you won't flash a custom rom on your phone.

Samsung phones are where all the developers flock. You can call me a Samsung fanboy :P

Just curious, how big is the Htc One S?

Mind taking a pic of the phone with your hand next to it or something like that? I thought GS3 and the one series were all the same size.
[Vibrant General] MadJoe:
The One X is close to the GS3, the S is just a little longer/taller than the Vibrant, 1/4" maybe, and damn near almost identical in width. And just a c-hair thinner. I'll post some photos tomorrow (technically today, I guess :)).

Personally I think this phone is great looks amazing will most likely perform great. I'd go with the white one I think the color blue they picked gives it that prepaid phone look
[Vibrant General] MadJoe:
Oh yeah, what I don't like about TouchWiz is the candy-like backgrounds on the icons, and it tries too hard to be iOS. There's some advantages, but for the most part I feel its mostly fluff wasting valuable resources. ICS Holo theme is gorgeous, no need to play with it, unless you improve upon it with tweaks like Team Kang did with AOKP.

Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I agree, for some it may be a bit "cartoon" type of look, but its just hurtful to say it looks anything like iOS
[Vibrant General] MadJoe:
Showing them together with the GS's app drawer open would be more representative of what I'm taking about. Obviously iOS on the iPhone doesn't have a "desk top" home; that would be to handy and admitting Android is better. Wait, they admitted that when they put a status bar in that could be pulled down for notifications.

I don't like the dock layout in TouchWiz, or that it can't be modified (maybe changed this time?), and the app drawer looks like a clown puked up a bunch of candy, just like the iPhone. But like you said, stock ROM doesn't have much chance of staying on the thing anyway. So it boils down to whether I can fit it in my pocket, and don't look like an idiot holding a VCR to my face when making calls (sorry Note users, I'm looking at you). And the cherry on top would be if app devs started seriously optimizing for quad core CPUs before the GS4 drops in 6 months. :)

It invert the mount point of sd cards ( when you'll apply it, external sd will be called mnt/sdcard instead of emmc/sdcard ) and the apps who require data dowloading will consider your external sd like an internal sd. With this tweak will able to have 16Go of internal storage if you have a 16Go sd card (for example).

[HTC Rezound] jimbo.levy:
I know it's been talked about a lot lately but the GSM SMS fix is giving me more problems than I anticipated.

Here's the low down:

Being a UK resident, I've suffered without SMS up until now. As you can imagine, when Joelz's fix came about, I was stoked!

So I jump ROMs, back onto Sense 4.0 to see if it would work...no luck. I figured that the fix might not have been included in the ROM that I flashed, so I opted to find the fix.zip and flash it myself...still no luck.

The carrier that I use is H3G, or more commonly known as "Three". They operate solely on a UMTS 2100mhz (WCDMA) frequency band. This is great as the Rezound has a compatible radio, enabling me to achieve 3G/HSPA data speeds on foreign device. This is (what I believe to be) the problem facing sending SMS. My carrier doesn't send SMS via GSM (I don't think)...

So, here's my question: does anyone know what I can do to remedy this? I know it's a pain in the @$$ but any pointers/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

Jim :)
