S100's react exactly the same.

And you know what ? I for one am glad they do overlay the voice instructions. More even, I wouldn't have bought the unit if this wouldn't have been the case. On most navi's I've used prior to the S150, you get a "radio plays, suddenly the thing mutes, takes as second, you hear the instruction, and then 2 seconds of silence as the unit "awaits ... something", and then it switches back to radio".

This makes listening to a radio or whatever a pain and makes for a frustrating listening experience.

With the S100 and S150, I can switch my audio low enough to hear it, and my voice guidance loud enough to sound "over" it.

The times the radio got interrupted in the middle of some important trafic-jam or news flash I REALLY wanted/needed to hear by these "all goes mute during voice directions" ... nope that were telling AGAIN I should be preparing to leave the highway in 600 meters or something ..., no, I'm not going back there. The best system would have been an automatic downmix of the media volume (but NOT a complete mute of it ! and Tomtom does that, but NOT on the S150 ... :( at least not on 2.3, don't know about 4.X) and go back to full volume afterwards. The mixing I can live with : it takes a bit of fiddling but it's do-able. The "all or nothing" mute thing : unacceptable.

It's just to say : one guys' oranges are another man's lemons. :)

But I understand that you'd be disappointed if the unit does not behave like someone expects.

Hello

The new firmware 0004 does that it mute the radio or music and you only hear the direction. If you. Can upgrade to this i don't know, I have a s100 and did it and it works but I am thinking to go back to 0002 there get you direction and music.

What i hate on the unit is that they cannot make a firmware that really works . Radio with af is bad and mp3 is very bad audio too.

What i have is that there is no way to get TomTom to work on s100 I only get searching for GPS even Google maps and igo works fine.

But we can be happy that we have become android on a s100 and not stuck to Windows ce

The dvr camera does not get gps signal on s150 firmware also!
[Android Head-Units] dom_christo:
So, I was thinking to myself the other day about a work around for launching / switching between 3rd party music players.

I was hoping someone could tell me if they know of any task / automation applications?

My idea was:

If we can create a task that would open the 3rd party music player when the stock music player is launched.

This way, say after a bluetooth call, the radio would switch back to the stock music app, then the task would automatically launch the 3rd party music app.

Not the best solution, but does this sound plausible?
[Android Head-Units] netvlada:
New platform is on the way,i think in one month with Android 4.2.2,new cpu,new screen and i think with integrated OBD.

Do not buy old S150 ,mainly because of very,very bad screens which are the worst screens i have ever seen on any car navigation units.I just dont know how they have sell any of this units or drivers just do not know how screen need to be on Daylight

I hope new screens will be better on daylight.:cool:
[Android Head-Units] J0sh_FG:
And you heard this from who?

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] netvlada:
From S150 top importers/distributors.

For disaster screen i belive it to my own eyes:eek::eek:

I have called distributers to send back my unit because of disaster screen,on daylight there is nothing to see and they have told me thet screen is very bad and they will change my unit for thet new platform in one month when they receive it.

They have seen thet new units and have played with it on WINCA presentation.
[Android Head-Units] J0sh_FG:
Omg . So we can expect a s200" in a 30 days period of time?

Could you please ask for specs? Im assuming capacitive multipoint screen, but 1024x600 would be the key !

Thanks mate !

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] netvlada:
-Capacitive screen.Key is thet you can see it on daylight !

-1Gb ram.

-8gb internal storage,will see if it will be like thet but i think distributers told me thet.

-Dual core cortex A9 ,i think on 1.6ghz.

-Android 4.2.2

-Bluetooth OBD.

ps:Distributers told me thet they are not happy ,because of potentional bugs in first shipment.
[Android Head-Units] J0sh_FG:
Those are the same specs of the HuiFei unit I'm waiting for. Did u get any more info or pics of the user interface?

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] netvlada:
Yes,they are late for new units.

Spec are not only important.Sound,radio and other qualities are important then just spec.

S150 is quality unit,screen is only big problem and i dont know why there is no fan???All factory and brand units have fan.Now you can touch your s150 screen and it is HOT,very HOT.
[Android Head-Units] J0sh_FG:
Well..not all factories and not event all models within the same manufacturer. It depends on the size of the cage where the Mainboard and the screen are housed...the heat the processor and other components dissipates ...Mainly those parameters determine the needs of refrigeration in the head unit.

The HuiFei (bmw e46 model) unit for example doesn't come with the fan in the back with the same specs of the supposed "s200". Others do.

Could you confirm with your contact whether it will be a 1024x600 or a 800x480 screen?

Thanks so much

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] dom_christo:
How did you organise this replacement?

Wondering If I can do the same.
[Android Head-Units] netvlada:
I will get all new unit and will send to distributor my "new"old S150 unit.It is against low to sell customers half usable device.What is the point of screen or device if you can not see nothing or to see almost nothing on the screen at the daylight.

99% of factory fitted multimedia navigation units have fan.

For example "Blaupunkt New York 800"universal 2 Din, bluetooth, multimedia, navigation unit which is not car factory fitted unit, have fan and cost 290 euros.Just to see thet Chinese S150 500 usd is very ,very high price and on the top ,their support is like i buy 50 usd device.

Blaupunkt is 290 euros+ 50 euros for external Android Quad core 4.2.2 box and you have(universal) device 10 times better then S150.Will see and test their new units and will make first review of it here on XDA.

[Android Head-Units] edding7:
Hello!

Im not sure if i have to wait for new capacitive screens instead of this units. What does you people think? The new screens could have more visibility than the resistive of the S150?
[Android Head-Units] netvlada:
YES

Distributors told me thet they have some light bulb put on the screen and visibility was fine.I just want to see it with my eyes.

I will be amongst first which will have new units and will test it.I think for 100% thet they know every bug or problem with S150 units and if they are company which want to be some kind of well known brend they will make better unit in every way.
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
I've collected some facts about this device (from some forums):

1-it has Windows CE 6.0.3122

2-it has 108 MB RAM (110524 KB)

3-Comes with iGO Primo 1.1 v 8.5.11 (800x480) MicroSDHC Card Class (2).

3-The more expensive model from Blaupunkt (NY 800 Truck) has the same hardware of (NY 800) but it is shipped with MicroSD Card of Primo 1.2

4- None GPS Model (NY 800 World) has the same hardware of (NY 800 and NY 800 Truck) but without GPS Antenna and MicroSD GPS Software.

I was under the "wrong impression" that the same units costs close to 1000 - 2000 Euros from the likes of Blaupunkt.

Now please end it...

I have Blaupunkt 800 New York.

There are two version of the same unit from same factory and same brand.

First one have TMC and cost 800 euros and on blaupunkt site there is specifications thet have gps and gps antenna.You will get sd card and maps.

Second one do not have TMC and it is 290 euros.On their site there is no info for gps or gps antenna but you will get it all in package.In this version there is no sd card with maps ,you must to install it.

I have S150 and New York 800 and 800 is superior unit for S150 IN EVERY WAY if you pay NY800 for 290 euros.

Only difference is TMC adapter!!!You have special input for TMC but just not have adapter for it.They all have cooling fan and very massive heatsink!All have two sd cards slot one for maps and other for your files.Blaupunkt is brand name in every way and it is made in China but if you have open it like me you can see where winca have made money savings for 500 usd unit.Blaupunkt is cheaper then WINCA but have less money savings.

Hello

I just wish that they could make a Firmware that works for Android 2.3 and 4.0

and i really mean work-. where all things works.

All firmware have these problems

1 bluetooth noise

2 AF on radio sucks

3 Sound Qual on music videos/mp3 is really bad.

4 igo primo dont work right( One firmware mute the audio and you get only direction but not always fast enough to mute it.)(other firmware speaks and you can hear music)

I think when there comes a s200 i am sure you guys and I will be dispointe also

because they cannot make anything relly to work, where it lays i dont know

i wish you could talk to them directly and tell them what to make and fix.

I know in my case i should not yell my unit is make for windows CE but i get the exatly same problems on windows ce

as on Android to YES this is firmware problem and NOT android or unit S100 or S150.

If the Unit have fan or not it a little thing build one in youself or READ on the manul before you buy it you

will see that the UNIT dont have fan. Yes i have also thought that the display was better.
[Android Head-Units] netvlada:
On my I56 S150 unit all works fine on Android 2.3

Just screen is very bad and heating soncern me a lot.I dont know if he can works for 8 hours( one trip on holiday)

Ive buyed a blaupunkt chicago600 (the same as new york without a dvd slot). The s150 is very better as the blaupunkt. e.g. bluetooth streamin over a2dp iss not possible, the device has only 600mhz with 128mb ram. Igo should work not perfectly. Only special versions from igo works correctly with the voice injection into audio streams! Never again a blaupunkt device for me! The blaupunkt devices are not perfect. Here in german costs the new york(830) 800€!

[Android Head-Units] netvlada:
It cost 800e because of TMC,without it it is 290 euros!!!!!!

800 euros model are for EU,290 euros are for eastern europe ,where TMC is not in function.

I have opened blaupunkt and S150 and can see money savings and quality of internal components.I did not make difference on sw or other things.

All brend units do not have latest HW ,for them stability is on the first place and quality of internal components.

It is better to have working units then half working with latest HW spec.
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
You know what? F... off with that piece of crap! This is a pure android unit, everything works on gingerbread firmwares, so, put that fan up your ...

S100 on wince is way superior on every spec, point by point.

As for the screen heating up, I drove for close to 16 hours with gps on, on a 37 Celsius day. That is hot... And you know what? The thing worked without even a small problem. I have the unit for more than one year only using Gingerbread firmware. Everything works! ICS is crap, and slow, but maybe with time it will be usable, but I don't see the point really, it's only for S100 at this point.

As a sidenote, the screen is hot because it sits directly on the processor, but, electronics work ok up to 80 degrees Celsius. I put my hand on every chip in the unit while it was working... Only the processor was kind of warm, but I could keep my hand there, that means less than 45 degrees. I don't see the point of an active fan.

If you have problems viewing the screen it's probably because of the tilt of the unit in your car. Use a antiglare foil... Probably the factory unit already had one, or the screen was backlit monochrome, those screens don't need one.

Keep in mind that if an app doesn't work properly it's not the units fault, rather the programmers of the app. I don't see IGo in the market! Do you? Sygic? Hell no..., every device is different you moron!

The beauty of this unit is that you can use all sort of apps, facebook, internet, Google apps, and you know what it works with 99% of the apps I've tried... Tell me, can you do that on that piece of crap you like so much?

[Android Head-Units] kaween:
... :laugh:

Somewhat harsh, but I agree with most of what you say there.

I'm one of the earliest S150 users here, my dad's got an S100. Neither are flawless. Both are better than all the factory units we ever had in terms of usability and price/performance.

As for Blaupunkt, the days where anything with a Blaupunkt label on it guaranteed high quality are long gone, which is something even my German friends will tell you.

As for the fan thing : i'd rather have a thermal design that doesn't rely on a fan than a thermal design that needs a small, high rpm fan that WILL fail in time (no question about that, they ALL fail, it is inevidable). Any electronics engineer worth their salt will tell you that too. So far, even with temperatures exceeding 50°C in the cabin for short periodes of time (full sun, black car ... well yeah) I've not had any stability issues with my 2.3 S150.

Alright, I've received the delay relay that I've talked about a few pages before, it works exactly as intended, with a small problem: my relay timer adjustment is broken, so the unit always shuts down after 5 minutes (1 minute should be more than enough). I'll upload a video after I receive a working part, probably next week. This should be great news to Gingerbread users, as the unit can't be forcefully stopped now. I added all info to the wiki and I'll happily answer all questions to those interested in this mod.

Front Facing Camera Date/Time/GPS/KPH Issue

All,

I added a front facing camera to my S150 the other day. I'm having a problem with the date/time/gps and KPH settings. I assume the device gets this from the S150. Both the live video (CarNav) and videos captured on the SD card have the problem. I can't find any way to set these values or diagnose what it is trying to do to get the values. I am running KoTiX2's V4 ROM. I could go back to stock, but I'd rather not because I have things setup the way I like. Any ideas???

None of the numbers ever seem to change.

Hey Guys,

The connection cable between my ISO-connectors and the HU has a 10 pin connector with two cables (black and pink). The black is connected to ground and the pink to the ISO pin which has the speed (GALA) signal from the car. There is an option in the settings to set the volume to the car's speed, but nothing happens at the moment. The connector with the speed signal is not connected, because I don't know where to put it.

When you insert the dongle in the computer, the modem starts the sdcard and a virtual CD. On my unit it only worked after I disabled it using AT commands in hyperterminal. It's not your case because it works for you.

About the speed: I don't know, my modem is only 3.6 mbps so It's already slow and my SIM already expired so I can't take another look. Someone else can share the speed from their modem so we could be sure?

Maybe you could try this, download one of these programs

FasterGPS (only if you use 4.0.3 with root.)(that have help me with correct speeding and faster gps on the navi)

or

GPS status (that have help me with correct speeding and faster gps on the navi)

But sadly not helped on tomtom to find the GPS signal, after i have try to buy it and search the whole net and try so many programs to set the gps and even use wlan on the car to see if that would help but nothing.

I come to the conclusion that tomtom dont support the device (GPS), i have contactet tomtom about this and really dont get any answere other that is the android there is a problem and not there software.
