I'm having the same problem. The text search in Spotify doesn't return anything anymore. Using the voice search I only get links to Spotify Compilations for artists also present on my USB drive. Spotify search used to work fine a few months ago. :(

Volvo STC

I rooted my STC, all were simple and everything works great.

But i have a question. What about the internal storage of STC?

With no other applications than the main factory build in (Spotify, TuneIn, Maps, Deezer, iGo and few more) i have only 56 MB free. And already i unistalled Coyot and few other apps that i didn't use.

Can i unlock the internal storage?

The only reason that i rooted my STC was to be able to install the Here Maps.

Except that, Google Play does not work and insists me to force it down any time i try to sign in.

If there is any kind of help i would be grateful to listen
[Connected Car] RichieB:
56 MB sounds about right. You can move some apps from /data to /system after rooting. Might free a little extra space.
[Connected Car] RoseMaro:
SCT Internal storage

Unfortunately there is no option to move to SD card apps like Spotify, Maps etc.

I can see the choise "move to SD card" but it is not active.

Here Maps installation requires about 65 MB storage space :(

I have been using TomTom with liveservices (traffic) successfully over the past 2 years, but tomorrow the service ends on the current version. Last year the App became TomTom Go Mobile and traffic services should be free of charge. BUT, the new go mobile version is not supported by the current android version of the Parrot device. (according to the google playstore as of android 4.0.3)

Did someone managed to download a tomtom mobile go version (1.6/1.8) and got it working with the free traffic?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
There used to be a special page for Parrot Asteroid users to purchase Live Services. I used this page to extend my subscription after the Play Store offerings were taken down. But that page seems gone now too. Must be a result of the end of the Parrot / TomTom partnership: http://forum.parrot.com/english/viewtopic.php?id=16431

[Connected Car] RichieB:
The Asteroid Spotify app integrates with the Asteroid media player and it can be voice controlled. I installed the Google Play version (awesome that it is still supporting Android 2.3.7) and although it is more modern and feature rich, it feels a bit slushing on the Smart. I also wonder if it will use the CK5050 chip for audio decoding or if it uses the poor CPU for everything.

Interesting point: after installing the Google Play Spotify app, suddenly searches the Asteroid Spotify app worked again. I haven't used for several weeks so it could be a coincidence. Or maybe a system wide Spotify library got updated during the install.
[Connected Car] fmpin:
I think it is using the CPU because when I use other app as TomTom or GMaps the music is very "jumping"

But the features as "Radio" or "Discover" are essential for me

There is any chance to give more "priority" to Spotify for the CPU Usage ?

Thanks

why does SCT paus music when navigation speaks?

Hi.

I have igo installed in my volvo car with sensus connected touch. I have the problem that when ever igo gives instructions it pauses my other music sources like spotify or radio. This is very annoying when getting a lot of instructions.

1. Is it possible to tweak som setting or file so that other sources are not paused but only get volume slightly lowered?

This issue is The same for camera warnings as The "ding" is connected to The voice volume.

2. I also cant completely turn off The voice guidance since the only option i have is to Change volume or mute. Even when in mute it Will paus other music sources as The instructions are still spoken but without sound.

Any solution to This?

How could The implement it like This? Do they not test their own stuff?!!

[Connected Car] farukf:

4. Installing applications

I noticed that lots of Apps from Google Play Store can not be downloaded directly to the SCT (because the SCT is not in the available list of the apps) so a easy way is to download the Applications as ".apk" files from the PC (You can find the desired app from:http://www.appsapk.com/*orhttp://www.androiddrawer.com/*for example).

Then copy-paste these .apk files(make sure they do not have any spaces in the filenames) to the folder "APKs" found in the downloaded unzipped folder "cmd-frama-menu-4". To install them, run the menu.bat again and once connected with the SCT again run the step 7 to install the applications You copied to the APK folder.

If you want to install apps using the Google Play Store that are larger than 7MB or so, you need to remap the cache directory to the SD card:

Code:

remount.sh cache-sd

Then after the app installation has finished, but before you start the app, remap the cache directory to the internal SCT memory:

Code:

remount.sh cache-og

If somebody stil experiencing problems with waze muting sound, there is another solution:

As a result it will not stop spotify and radio anymore.

Apps still worth the trouble?

Hi there

Seeing this post in 2018, I'm wondering does all of that still work?

I've got a SCT Unit retrofitted last year and updated the system to it's current firmware version, so for all I know it should work.

What I'm asking myself here is, are the Google Maps up to date? Are any Apps even worth it, installing them on an Android 2.3.3 I mean.

I would just love to have an build in online navigation system that is up-to-date and has realtime traffic information. Sound Guide is nice to have but not necessary.

Also could I retrofit Android Auto with the rooting of this system?

Another thing, I may be completely wrong here but, my Volvo Dealer is asking for 100 bucks to get rid of the update lockout for the original Volvo Maps. So I can only update them once I paid them the unlocking fee. Is there any way around it or do I have to pay them?

Thank you very much in advance.

Also big, big :good: for all the work here

Hey guys,

i'm looking into sideloading apps on my Volvo XC90 with Volvo Sensus Connected Touch - but i am unable to connect via adb to the car. I tried creating a Wi-Fi Hotspot within the Sensus Menu or joining an existing network. I can ping the device without any issues, but I am unable to connect via ADB.

I guess that this is related to the latest update the Sensus received some weeks ago from the local car dealer at the regular service. There is probably a new software version on this device, because some things look different now and there are some funny translations.

Does anyone have some informations about this update and could tell me to get ADB working again?

Waze is added to auto launch, so it starts together with system.

When my mobile phone connects to cars BT, it starts Wi-Fi hotspot, which is picked by SCT.

Open comand line and go to /data/data/com.waze/

Remove write permissions for two files - preferences and user (chmod 444 preferences user)

Both files allow you to configure waze

Removing write permissions will stop waze from messing with config files and logging you out

Edit both files for configuration you need

So far, I read that at this point:

- Apks are working but with some issues when resseting the car, and sound problems. Waze and google maps are working without importatnt isues? (this is most of us desired function)

- I have SCT version 1.47.96 (working on the list), I can´t find the 1.49 files in the parrot link and searched in the parrot site without luck. Can anyone share that files? or there are not any major improvements and I could continue with 1.47.96

- I have Igo installed from factory, and my maps are from 2013.

What is the best navigation app you are running best in the SCT? I´ve found some people that I think they´ve installed Igo clean installation with new maps, but it´s a rusian forum and very difficult for me to understand.
