Help debugging USB modem issues

Hi all,

This month I bought a 2015 XC60 with SCT. I also bought the Sierra 313U 4G modem (U.S. / AT&T) based on the compatibility chart on Parrot's website for the USA/AT&T/Parrot Asteriod Smart. However, after reading this thread I now realize that the SCT is closer to the Parrot Asteriod Tablet. Parrot's website doesn't list any compatible 4G modems for that device under USA/AT&T.

I plugged it in, and it doesn't work. In the USB modem list under settings, there are no devices. The lights on the 313U indicate that a connection is available and that it is waiting for the connection to be established. But the SCT doesn't seem to be doing anything. The 313U works fine when plugged into my laptop's USB port.

First question: is there a way to debug this? I have rooted the SCT successfully. Is there some way to create a log so I can see what happens within the SCT when I plug this in? Or are there any APK's that I could install that would open up more options in mobile settings to help me debug?

Second question is about downgrading. My SCT came with 1.49.34 installed. I have seen on this thread many issues with that firmware. Some are related to 3G/4G USB connectivity. I am fine with downgrading to 1.47.96, but I am not sure exactly how to do that.

Is the EU firmware version the same one used for cars delivered to the US? Assuming this, I installed plftool and extracted the files for 1.47.96. But now what? I searched this thread and found that many people have successfully downgraded, but I couldn't find a clear step-by-step procedure as to what to do with the files after extracting with plftool. Also, it also seems that RichieB downgraded but then had trouble re-rooting and had to downgrade again. Have others had that same issue?

Should my first step be to downgrade to see if the modem works with 1.47.96? Or are there other things I can do to debug in 1.49.34?

Thanks much!
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I have no idea what the differences are between the EU and US firmware versions. You can always flash a EU version and see if it works for you. I did have trouble rooting at one time, but it could have been that the latest menu.bat (version 4) did not correctly work with the older firmware yet. Anyway, it was quickly solved. Nothing to worry about.

Hi everybody,

I have rooted my SCT thanks for this topic..

Now I will to install some apps but I can't install them because in the play store I have this message : error 498

I see on internet it's a problem with cache memory, how can I resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance
[Connected Car] RichieB:
See this post about increasing the cache.
[Connected Car] santu001:
Strange thing is when I use aptoide market I never have increase the cache. I think it uses a different way for downloading apps.
[Connected Car] djthony1986:
Hi I will try with aptoide market if it's possible...

A question are you the Claudio from youtube?

If yes can you send me which apps you install on your SCT?

Do you know how I can change the background color in ADW launcher Ex ?

Thanks
[Connected Car] chris.lu:
.aptoide

Aptoide used as a cache folder an hidden called ".aptoide" in SD.
[Connected Car] santu001:
Yep, that's me!

I posted the YouTube here and here. Also some comments on why.

At first i started trying a lot off apps, just because i was able to. But the system became laggy. So I just use apps i really need or want.

Main apps i'm using now.

ADWLauncher EX

Android Weather ( Free and very fast widget)

Home Switcher /Manager (For switching back to ACUhome laucher if I want to)

Analoge Klok Collection HD or Crystal Clock

Drivers Widgets PRO (GPS-fix - Pro for transparity)

Android Terminal Emulator

PlayerPro + PlayerPro DSP pack (For gapless play of mp3) (License)

GPS Status

Ultimate Rotation Control

Google Maps (older apk version found in this topic) newer versions won't work.

Flitsmeister (Latest through Aptoide)

YouTube (older apk version in this topic) newer versions won't work

Chrome Browser (through Aptoide)

Titanium Backup Pro

Tasker

Auto Tether for automatica (

On my Phone

for automatic WiFi hotspot enabling when establishing a Bluetooth connection with the car)

LCD Density Modder Pro (Fixed setting on 200) Be careful other resolutions will brick your SCT.

Some apps wont show in Googleplay store (not compatible with your device), so I use Aptoide to download and upgrade them. I have most apps on dropbox, but most can be found in this threat. Just go to your profile on XDA. Choose all subscriptions. The hit the paperclip next to this threat. You will find all uploads and zipfiles you need. Much easier the searching the entire threat.

How to change the background color depends on what you mean exactly. ADW has many themes with colors, but I guess you mean the background image. There is a special option for that in ADW settings. Not sure if you need the paid EX version for that. But it is fairly easy.
[Connected Car] fmpin:
Hi Claudio have you found

ACU HOME background for AWD ?

Thanks
[Connected Car] santu001:
Ouch, completely forgot.

I will upload it... soon...

But don't think to much of it. It is just part of the original acu home background made softer en darker (part because the whole image wont fit ADW margins). You can just use anything you can find as a background. Still, I will upload it!
[Connected Car] fmpin:
But do you also have the original one ?

May I try ro resample it ?

I would like the background of AWD was like the google map background that is just the ACU original

Thanks
[Connected Car] santu001:
The original is already somewhere in this topic. But then you need to cut out a part, because ADW background only covers a part of the screen and doesn't allow you to choose the whole image. It doesn't cover the notificationbar en buttonbar on the left. So I just took a piece of Afirica - for no particulair reason BTW. :)

I don't like the grid, especially if you change the resolution of SCT to 200 like I did. That;s why I softend the picture so i just have a dark-isch background with some SCT hints still in there. You can see it in my vid.

Hi Claudio,

Thanks for your help and th app list :) I have tried to see on yours videos but it's not easy...

Can you maybe give me the dropbox link for the Google maps and youtube?

The LCD Density modder pro is an app to change the background in the ADW Launcher Ex?

Thanks for your help

Thony
[Connected Car] santu001:
Hi Thony,

The LCD Density modder pro is an app to change the overall resolution of SCT. It has nothing to do with the background. It's like on a PC. If you change the resolution and make it higher, you'll get more room and everything becomes smaller and less crowded. The main benefit is that some apps are better when using a higher resolution. Otherwise they are cut of or you have to scroll more.

Here are the links for the apps you requested

Googlemaps

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ugo2a1kd4kb0e07/Maps 6.14.4.apk

You Tube

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hu7nvp9mzjqr55s/Youtube_2.5.16.apk

The exact way to change backgrounds in ADW I have to look up and let you know...
[Connected Car] djthony1986:
Hi everybody,

Do you have the same problem with spotify like me : before I root the SCT each search on spotify was save in the recent search, but now I don't have the search in the list is it something to do?

Santu001, I have the PlayerPro like you but when I want to listen some music from album or artist it's not working (problem with the format), and when I want to listen the same music from the folder it's ok I don't understand...

Is the PlayerPro very slowly by you too?

SCT installation

Dear all,

I have recently installed SCT in my Volvo XC60 D5 AWD RHD MY 2014.

I have two issues:

Touch screen not responding on Left side of the screen approximately 2cm vertical patch along Lt. border

So not able to use home, menu, back and voice commands by touch. Also Lt. side of keyboard is erratic in response.

What should I do to sort out this problem?

I got system from USA with navigation and got it installed in INDIA

Maps are of NA but IGO is working ok.

How to load India Maps on this SD card?

Thanks in advance. It is wonderful thread. But before I venture in some advance manipulation will like to sort out these issues.

Ajit
[Connected Car] RichieB:
You need to contact your Volvo dealer regarding the touch screen issues. Could be as simple as a loose wire or as worse as a faulty infrared frame. AFAIK one has been able to install illegal iGo maps, so you will need to buy them from Volvo.
[Connected Car] drajitpatil:
SCT installation

Thanks for the reply.

For loose wire will check after removing front panel.

For maps Volvo dealer said that maps are free for any country if you buy Navigation SD card official from them.

Will like to know the site which identify the Volvo SD card. Maps are Navteq 2013 with iGO navigation software. If i use Naviextras toolbox the SD card is not identified.

Any clue on this?

Ajit
[Connected Car] RichieB:
The maps are definitely not free. Volvo charges a premium over them compared to the regular iGo prices. It would make more sense to root the SCT and then buy other navigation software in the Google Play Store.
[Connected Car] drajitpatil:

Ok Richie.

I will first solve the touch problem and then try to root it.

[Connected Car] noten093:
Hello

Be carefull with other navigation software. After a voice command, the radio sound will not come back on. With IGO there is no problem. After trying Sygic, TomTom, Google Maps, Waze and more I still use IGO on long drives. IGO is quite nice. Especially if you put it in permanent night mode. And it is possible to put other maps on the SD card. I saw this confirmed some posts ago.

iGO installation

I'd like to install iGO on my rooted SCT. IGO App is pre-installed but i haven't the original SD.

Please, help me.. :(

I found "iGO-Volvo-prod.apk" and some interesting file, like folder "com.navngo.igo.javaclient" and a file "sys.txt".. Any help?
[Connected Car] drajitpatil:
SCT installlation

Touch issue for Lt. margin of RHD vehicle partially solve.

I opened up the touch frame again examined all margins were properly aligned or not. They were ok.

I had problem in fitting the screen as dash board margin was interfering by few mm, but somehow I managed to put in the screen and in process had twisted the ribbon cable at the angle during 1st installation. So I checked continuity on both strips top and left and it was ok.

Then I opened up left strip to check all IR LEDs, they were ok.

Then I opened up top strip and found that two LEDs on Left Top corner had come out of solder (probably due to undue force during installation)

One LED I could locate and was resoldered. Other I could not locate so I removed one from Left strip ( around 4th from bottom assuming that is blank area of touch on Left margin) and soldered it to top left corner.

Dash board edge was cut by around 3mm*100mm and screen was reinstalled without any undue pressure.

System was started and was happy to see that Touch started working on Left margin ( Home, Menu, Back and Voice).

But after using system more I found that one horizontal patch corresponding to IR LED that I removed is not working which is problem esp. while using keyboard.

So now I am searching the IR LED with matching specification to replace. If any one has any info on this will be grateful. Physical size of IR LED is approx. 3mm*2mm*1mm.

Hi all,

Amazing work you've all done on the SCT. I'm getting ready to take delivery of a '14 xc60 r-design with SCT. I specifically chose the SCT option vs the new '15/'15.5's with sensus connect due to this thread and the ability to add other apps via apks.

Couple of questions:

1. For USA users, has anyone successfully gotten Pandora running on their SCT?

2. What options are there for playback of video on the unit? Any ability to add miracast? I have an NVIDIA shield running plex that could potentially stream to SCT over wifi. Another possibility would to be add Plex to SCT directly.

2A. Is there any tweak needed to enable the volvo/parrot apps to operate while driving/in motion similar to what needs to be done with aftermarket head units?

3. Is there any way to input video into SCT via hdmi?

4. I understand SCT is running a base of 2.3 frodo. Is there any work or possibility of upgrading the unit to a 4.0+ system in the future, either by the XDA community or Parrot/Volvo?

As I understand it from calling Volvo north america, SCT will receive very few updates by way of Volvo in the future as they are entirely focused on Sensus Connect and the new infotainment system on the 2016 XC90.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
A quick reply:

2A: this is installed by the menu.bat, simply run rewhitelist.sh after you install new apps. You can also automate this using Tasker.

Chrome

Hi, and thanks for all the hard work you guys have been putting into this! I've rooted my SCT and installed all the apps I want except Chrome. Even though I've spoofed the version with Market Helper, it won't show in Google Play. I guess this could be because Chrome now requires Android 4.0+ to work and the SCT is running some branched 2.3 version according to the first post. I did find an old version of Chrome that I was able to install, but it is missing bookmarks sync and that is what we want, right? :) So the question is, is it possible to install latest version of Chrome from Google Play, or do one of you guys have the apk for the last working Chrome version that actually works on pre 4.0 devices?

Edit: Never mind. My memory is bad. Chrome came to Android on version 4.0, so no older versions that work. I installed Dolphine browser and added a bookmarks Chrome extension for syncing bookmarks. For the rest of you; there are browsers that imitate Chrome that can be found on Aptoide, but they are not the real Google Chrome.
