FYI, this issue was fixed in the latest Asteroid Smart update.

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

Funny, because it did not reset my Smart to defaults, though it did make my SuperSU a little wonky so I ended up resetting anyway. It only takes 15-20 minutes to reset everything properly.

I don't know about you guys, but I am a little bit lukewarm on this update. SMS doesn't work on my Note3 which is utterly surprising, and Parrot's implementation of the music autostart is inconsistent at best. I am also unable to browse bluetooth music on the Parrot side. On the plus side, I do like the addition of MTP as a USB source. Unit does seem to behave slightly better overall, too.

EDIT: seems like the Note3 doesn't use AVRCP 1.4, which is required for all the new added SMS/Bluetooth features. Ah well.

Steering Wheel Controls and the update 2.3.38.06

Hi.

Im install the update version 2.3.38.06 but the Steering Wheel Controls problem continue.

occasionally the asteroid detect the UNIKA, occasionally the UNIKA is detected but the steering whell controls not work.

NEXT Someone with these problems and could solve?

Who had these problems were solved?

I reflashed the US update and so far the SWC are working. Second flash did not do a full reset but did decide to put the restart shortcuts on the screen for some reason.
[Android General] zcgofaster:
Very nice update. We have usb camera now. I tested it with an old Microsoft camera and it works great. Might make it a backseat baby cam. And BTW the update went smoothly. Update, run framaroot, reboot, done. All settings and apps still there. Play store still works
[Android General] ronsno:
Any ideas why the installers won't install a new apk. I'm trying to install the ;latest Tweaker and at the install screen when I press the install button nothing happens. I can press the cancel and it works, but when I press the install button there is no indication it has been pressed and it just sits.
[Android General] limited_imagination:
Fix is confirmed! The odd "03" directory is gone now with this new update!

Excellent, and thank you for the news. This was 100% of the reason for me bothering to update, since I don't need a USB camera and I was running Tablet Talk already, anyway.

I had Tablet Talk installed prior to the update, and it continues to run just fine after updating. I have TT set to autostart on boot, along with the Bluetooth enabling. The new Asteroid "Messages" app that is included in the new update, does not receive SMS from my phone, although Tablet Talk continues to work as before. The Asteroid Messages app screen always just says "No new messages", while Tablet Talk intercepts new SMS messages and deals with them. No crashes or anything if both run simultaneously, it's just that TT intercepts all the SMS work.

I'm not bothered by that, since TT is more flexible in many ways, although I would love it to read out SMS messages aloud the way the new Messages app supposedly works. Maybe they will update TT in future to do that.

The Google Play Store appears to still be alive and well after the update, although I haven't downloaded anything new with it. Seems like the update didn't interfere with anything loaded from the Play Store, either, but TT was really the only major app that I have from Play Store.

BTW, my Play Store is version 4.4.21, which I manually downloaded and installed from the Android Police website, because my "Android Market" never updated itself after installing the files from Post #1 in this thread (date stamped October 11, 2013): http://asteroid.doisara.com/rooting-and-sideloading-apps/rooting-sideloading-and-android-market/

I was having a lot of unexplained crashes and reboots while running the old "Android Market", and it seems like updating to Play Store 4.4.21 has cleared them up.

Hi there ... the iGo speed limit vocal alert, is there any possible way that we could disable it ?

I tryed browsing thru the program but i didnt found nothing concluent to stop the alert.

It's getting anoying when you drive and listen to music.

Anyone knows how to disable it ?

Tryed finding the correct manual but it doesnt seem to exist.
[Android General] VenomousSVT:
Yes there is... Ugh, but without having igo in front of me I can't for the life of me remember where to tell you to go..
[Android General] Cyberflow:
Hey hi there,

I actually took the time to stay parked and explore the parameters proprely.

They're under the Sounds options in the settings :)

Thanx for the reply !
[Android General] VenomousSVT:
Sorry I wasn't able to tell you exactly where it was.. I can go right to it when I'm in front of a device but off my memory I was lost.. Lol. Glad you found it. I usually set it to visual only
[Android General] Cyberflow:
Hi there again,

I wanted your opinion on those who where able to do this :

I'd like to put a 2TB drive pluged in on the device and store all my music.

By experience, would it work with this hard drive :

http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=15_213_602&item_id=069756

And i need to plug the drive in the iPhone USB port that has voltage ?
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
Been a good night tonight. Finally got the Market / play store working and downloading as it should. Guessing i forgot to reset between installs etc. Either way, if anyone is having the same issue i followed these instructions. Worked perfect! Don't forget to sign up so you can see the download links: http://asteroid.doisara.com/rooting-and-sideloading-apps/rooting-sideloading-and-android-market/

Also played around a bit with boot animations. Got a really nice Subaru one working with a fair bit of editing to suit my car. Also the USB volume control is on the way so pretty keen to install that and play with it. Coming along nicely
[Android General] VenomousSVT:
I haven't tried an external drive on a parrot but I can say from the other multimedia decks that it's hit and miss with a hdd. I know the ones that have the dual USB for extra power you can use by giving them the power from a wired USB adapter then the other plugging into the deck. . Even then it still matters the amount of storage the deck can read and catalog.
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
I use a 256GB SSD on my parrot. Works flawless providing you use the original player. Other players just lock the system due to the library loading from scratch each time the unit turns on
[Android General] VenomousSVT:
Good info!
[Android General] twokidsandaphone:
SSD for PAS?

I bought a USB 3.0 enclosure for an SSD and the PAS does not recognize it. The one I bought was a Canada Computers "ICAN" brand. Works fine when attached to PC. Can anyone list an enclosure that is known to work?

Thanks.

The new support to Smartphone music access via USB (MTP)

Hi Friends

Today test the new Smartphone music access via USB (MTP) with my Samsung S5 and dont work, all time the Parrot say.. "Loading"

You test this new function with your phones?
[Android General] danieljw:
It takes some time to load the music on the phone. Took more than a few minutes to load the music from my 64 GB SD card on a Note 3.
[Android General] jackfrost909:
With regards to this MTP USB access method .. On an SSD does this still require exFAT formatting for larger partitions?

Saying Hi

just thought i'd step in finally and say hi. i've been looking at this forum for a while now. you guys have been very helpful as i don't know much about this stuff just yet. i've installed the Asteroid Smart into my 2004 GMC Sierra. using a blend of two install kits one with the parrot another from crutchfield must admit it looks pretty nice. probably post pictures if i get around to it. to those having issues trying to get the little stuff to work to through the first section of this forum again. i was able to get it rooted, google play, play services, several apps, magic market (i think or which everone tricks google play market), and several others to work just fine on the first try. only issue i had is that after a while it kept crashing multiple times. once took my phone with it was quite surprised. would love to talk some more. oh and funny story took me 5 days before calling crutchfield to find out that the power antenna wire was also the amp power wire. <- yep current knowledge on this stuff :D

on another note does anyone know of any decent parrot smart roms being made yet?
[Android General] horn34:
If you've been reading this thread for a while, you should have noticed no one has mentioned any ROMs for the PAS. If there was one, someone would have posted about it here.

Equalizer = Sound FX

Hi there,

Is just me, or de app Sound FX (equalizer) just works with radio and the native mp3 player? it does nothing to spotify or youtube etc???

I had to installed another app for setting up the sound of spotify etc.

Does this happen to you?
[Android General] ansvlug:
Correct. This has always been the case. (Very annoying and I don't really understand Parrot's choice for implementing it like this).
[Android General] sonicdarack:
Quick question, since i updated my Smart device, i can not root it no more and install the google app store.

CAn you give me a hint what i am doing wrong?
[Android General] ansvlug:
Do you have the most recent version of Framaroot? If so, try an older one.
[Android General] sonicdarack:
I used an old one since for all updates i always used the same package of rooting and installing...

Which framaroot should i use for the latest update?
[Android General] ghanique:
Don't know... Didn't install the most recent one yet.
[Android General] leonardo_:
What should we do? because a installed a equalizer for spotify etc, and the sound quality is not the same....
[Android General] LAYGO:
I might be too late on this, but I actually got my unit RMA'd with Crutchfield when mine went out.
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
All good. I purchased a globalsat unit and it works much better than the Parrot unit

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Calling out to anyone that has used the FUSION ROTARY VOLUME CONTROL.

Works perfect but i forgot to order the software pack for it. Does anyone have it or know where it can be downloaded?

Cheers
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
Quick update:

Got my USB volume control working with the head unit which i am very pleased with. Makes it so much simpler to use rather than having to swipe for volume

I too have an SSD on my PAS & I'm about to switch to a regular 512gb HDD.
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
Not sure if i would be keen on that idea personally. I have pretty stiff coilovers and a show install in the boot. Vibrations are not friends lol
[Android General] s0ulseller:
Since installing the latest US update, I have been having problems with the unit starting up properly. 8/10 times I am having to press the reset button as the unit is either stuck on a black screen with the menu buttons on the left OR a fully black screen with no menu buttons. After pressing reset, I get a component updater dialogue that attempts to update the GPS firmware that I do not recall seeing prior to this update:

[IMG="Component updater picture"]http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad41/s0ulseller/0dbe7eb4-558d-4505-9cec-0bb2816e1d10_zps0530a5b9.jpg[/IMG]

This process takes ~2 minutes and then it is back to normal until the car is shut off.

I have tried re-downloading the update file and reloading it, which did not help. I have also restored root, replaced asteroid tweaker with the current version though I don't think those factor into this problem.
[Android General] elninoloco7:
Just installed my unit (Version 2.1.5) When I turn off the car it says "Goodbye" .. I left the car and came back 15 minutes later to find the White LED power button on! The unit was still off and pushing the button didn't turn the radio on (car was off) so i think it was just on "stand by" for fast boot. So i turned the car on, unit booted up quick, I then turned the car back off (It said Goodbye). The white LED went off but then came back on again (again just on standby).

So after 8 or so hours of the car being off, i went back into my car, the White LED was off, but the Boot was fast as if it were on Stand By the entire night! (My Constant 12V is wired with Constant 12 V and my Red Switch 12V is with the Red Switch 12V)

Anyone have\had similar issue?

I highly doubt it's the wiring. I just don't want my battery to be dead after 2 days of the car off because it is on Stand By mode.

I know the new version 2.3.38.06 has a thing to adjust the stand by mode, but i hear there are far to many bugs.

I want to update to 2.1.9 but i cannot file anywhere. Does anyone have a link to this file? (i even tried Web Archive but was only able to find 2.0.1 using this method)

Or if you have the 2.1.9 USA file anyway you can upload it so i can download :)

EDIT: I see that Australia still has the 2.1.9 file on there website, what would happen if i used that country firmware?

Yup i have the same one. Downloaded the software to dim out that powerful blue power LED and change my knob color to Orange to match my interior dash.
[Android General] cuban11182:
I'm sorry if I missed it but I was wondering if there was a way to split the screen? For example if I was to look at my music app and google maps at the same time, is this possible?

Thanks.

[Android General] horn34:
Anyone else unable to get the phone function to recognize phone number links? On a normal android phone, if you see a phone number on a web page or email, it's a clickable link that will pull up the phone dialer and call the number.

On my PAS, if I click on a phone number link, it will pull up the phone dialer, but not insert the number. Copy/paste doesn't work either. It makes dialing numbers a pain in the ass.
[Android General] mcjama76:
Rollback?

Not getting much help or information over at the Parrot forums. Is there a way to rollback to an earlier build and if so, does someone have the location for a link to 2.1.9? The latest update has destroyed my sound quality and created a substantial amount of lag overall. 2.1.9 seemed to be a solid build and worked flawlessly for everything I needed the unit to do. Very disappointed so far with 2.3.38.06.

Assistance would be most appreciated, thanks!

I'm about to install coilovers, but the drive itself was only about $60, not terribly worried about it if it fails . . . other than having to get a new drive & reload data.

HGST Touro Mobile Pro USB3. It was a case that was opened & then sold independent of the drive. It's got broken tabs, etc, but works flawlessly. I bought 2. I'd buy more if I needed more. I got it on some deal posted on SlickDeals.

Bluetooth issues

I have done the recent update, both by direct download over wifi and now downloaded and forced update from SD card. After reading around I also decided to do a factory reset, that was a joke, talk about going back in time and loosing all the work done... Man I won't do that again!

So my issue is, I can pair my phone(nexus 5 with custom rom) and Smart via bluetooth and they work fine together until I reboot the Smart and they try to pair up again. My phone's bluetooth goes into a loop of force closing and restarting until it just shuts the bluetooth off. It doesn't matter if I reboot the phone or the Smart. It will not stop doing this until I shut off the bluetooth on one of the two devices. Now if I have them forget each other and re-pair, then it works fine until I reboot the Smart.

This did not happen prior to the most recent update and I guess I would like to know if any of you have experienced this problem, have any ideas, or know how I could get the previous update to revert it back and see if that would fix this issue.

If worse comes to worse I would be consider trying a different ROM on my phone, but with the way this problem is starting with the Smart,that sounds like a waste of time.

Asteroid Rooted

So I installed the Android Smart after my stereo was fubared with a leaky liquid airvent airfreshner,

Out the box the Android smart was limited, and lacked alot of apps,

since them Ive installed google play, and anything I wanted through some dircections I found on the Android smart forums, also there is a unsupported app that makes things run a little better there,

one of the settings is letting the system go into sleep rather than shutdown, up to 4 hours, that actually does help a great deal as the only time it has to boot is first time it loads everyday.

to solve your problem use a third party blue tooth manager, I used one to enable my obdII reader and Iphone to work at the same time.

Bluetooth Auto-Pair ----Michael Brachmann
[Android General] JustaBowla:
I really appreciate this suggestion, wish I had asked sooner! The one you suggested is $1.98, so I installed Bluetooth Auto Connect on my phone instead and it has worked like a champ so far. When I get off work and it works perfectly I will be elated! Too bad I did the factory reset, it's gonna take me a bit to get it back to normal...
[Android General] lepaske:
I've made the update from 2.1.5 to 2.3.38.06. I got some problem with an app and was forced to do a factory reset then I reinstall everything properly.

I have to say that it works pretty well with no bugs at all for the moment...

Anyway, for those who needs the 2.1.9, you will find it here until September 24th :

Bluetooth failing again, with Crash notices

I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and pay for the app Bluetooth Auto-Pair.

It worked when I went home from work, but had to run an errand last night and it started doing the same thing. The other thing I noticed which I didn't think was related before, but now I believe is, a crash notice that comes up. This crash notice didn't happen when I went home last night, but it did when I ran the errand. So I think there is something wrong with the update and now screwed up my Smart...:confused:

I'm also using n5 with custom ROM with no issues. Was running raskat with no issues and am currently running a cm based ROM that's working as well.
[Android General] JustaBowla:
I really don't think it is my phone or ROM, have no issues with any other bluetooth device or any problem before the update. I may try changing the ROM this weekend, but I really hate re-doing everything on my phone. ESPECIALLY if it doesn't fix the issue.

I decided to call the Parrot and talk to their help department, the guy that I spoke to told me that I needed to do a force update again. But he told me that I had to use a USB thumb drive and that a USB SD reader or just a SD card with the file on it would NOT work. So I went out and bought a 16gb USB thumb drive and put the plf file on it, did the force update process, watched it work it's magic. Voila didn't fix it at all, that was such a surprise. I should call back and get further help, but quite honestly kind of felt like I was being talked down to and he wasn't very excited to help anyway.

One thing I seem to remember about the first time I ran the update was it bringing up a screen and updating some drivers and not just the GPS. But I can't remember what else it did besides the GPS. But every time I have done the force update since, it just checks the GPS driver and nothing else on that screen. So if anyone thinks of anything there, I would be interested to know what that screen shows the first time you do the update?

So I'm pretty much dead in the water, Probably just call Parrot back and give that a whirl again...

Spotify and crash reports

Hey all,

I've been reading for quite some time and I've got my Parrot set up with basically nothing other than TomTom Europe and Spotify, I did root the device and got the Play Store running without any troubles.

I do have 2 question that I was hoping someone could help me with;

1. Every time the device boots up, I get that red icon in the statusbar saying that 'crash reports' are ready to be sent. What does this mean, and why do they keep popping up even though I always either send or dismiss the reports. (I can't seem to see what's in the reports either)

2. I'm slightly disappointed with the default Spotify app as it lacks some newer features and somehow isn't able to download all my playlists. I've tried the regular Spotify app from the Play Store, which not only looks a lot better but does supports the newer features and did download all my playlists. Only problem is that it's super laggy, especially when TomTom's running it pretty much skips about .5 seconds every 5 seconds. Has anyone else have this same problem?
[Android General] JustaBowla:
Are you using bluetooth? I too am getting the crash report with my issues.
[Android General] luukx20:
Yeah I forgot to mention, it only happens when I'm using bluetooth (which is always). But only when the Asteroid uses my phone's internet connection, otherwise the reports don't show up.

But since I always share my phone's internet connection in order to use local search on TomTom and Spotify's online services, I always get the error reports.
[Android General] JustaBowla:
What phone do you have, custom ROM?

I really never tried mine without the internet connection, that's mostly what I use mine for as well. I like the handsfree, but Spotify needs an internet connection!

I will mess around with that and see if the tethering/internet has anything to do with it. On mine it causes an error on my phone that shutsdown my bluetooth process com.android.bluetooth

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Internet/tethering has nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned, it is Bluetooth as a whole.
[Android General] JustaBowla:
I was home at lunch and looked through some files on my computer that I downloaded in the past for rooting and what not. I found what I believe to be the plf file from the last update. Back on the last update I had a continuous loop boot issue and had to do a force update then too. So I am going to replace the new update file on the USB thumb drive with this "older" file and see if I can get it to revert back.
