Problem parsing MP3 meta data

Hello [MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION],

I find you're one of the top knowledgeable members on the forum about the s150 platform and have a problem with the I001N unit that's bugging me; the music player, it just doesn't parse the Metadata correctly. I have the I001_20140121 firmware installed and can't seem to find anything more recent than it. I'm hardly able to navigate through my tracks correctly, and it's all a big mess...

Is this a problem you found earlier on the unit yourself, have a fix for, or even know where to find the fix?

Everywhere I ask I seem to stumble upon people who have the same issue, but it doesn't seem like anyone has the solution.

Many thanks in advance!
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
Dude, don't waste your time with stock apps! The whole point of android is you have choice from play store to install apps you like! Try Poweramp instead.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
I have no solution for this, sorry.

as np27 said you can use other apps bit you'll loose sw controls.

Anyway you are one of the few owners of the i001n model and you should ask to your seller or to roadnav a firmware update.

I can't thing of anybody more than you have the rights to ask for it.

(Once you have it, please share it)

Ciao :)

Thanks guys :D

that antena box should be powered up with 12+, and dont worry the unit will not suffer anything, the box is a filter and also should give +12v on cars antena feeder.

if you will put 12v on that box the radio reception will appear.

anyway that filter is a ****ty filter, and the radio signal is bad, so on my car (2007 octavia) i get rid of it and keep only the facra sockets,

you cand find or you cand make (as i did) adapters for that kind of sockets.

if your car antena has the amplifier unit on it and not somewhere on the car the you should give +12v to the antena feeder in order to work ok.

this navi units cannot power up radio antena via coax cable...

you can take something like this and all will be great

this also should be powered up
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
My Jeep Grand Cherokee has an OEM amplified antenna and it is powered by the Body Control Module (BCM) not from the car stereo. I have used a passive adapter to connect the radio antenna input to the specific one of my car. In any case, also if the antenna amplifier is working, the radio sensivity of these units is very poor with respect to the OEM one. I think that the box is not only a filter to divide AM and FM bands, is also an amplifier (it is powered) like this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Antenna-Radio-FM-AM-Signal-Amp-Amplifier-Booster-/220831228507

I have one of these units and I would like to test if it works in my case.

Need testers for new rom

Hi guys, I still have not my unit fixed but I couldn't resist working on the 4.03 rom so I made some more modifications.

I made some changes to the installer so that the Full Install will be just a clean full install of the original 4.03 official rom from Roadnav, while in the Custom install you can choose these options to install or not:

1. Standard Parts - same as before, Kernel, recovery etc..

2. Gapps - If you install them remember to set "Stay Awake" in settings->developer options .

3. Root Access - it will install CWM Superuser and SU: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/themes-apps/official-superuser-cwm-t2183409

instead of the Chainfire ones that i used in my previous roms, Maybe it will solve problems with 3G connections

4. Viper4Android Audio Mod - trying to improve audio quality: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

the apk file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/bq77xwt6djl8dk1

All this stuff need to be tested (specially the Viper audio mod), but there is no need to flash the rom to test CWM SUperuser and Viper Audio as you can do it installing yourself the apks.

So I'll really appreciate if anybody would like to try the new custom rom and report back if everything goes straight, otherwise if anybody want to test just the apks will be great too , just please report me how they worked on 3G connection and if the audio quality is improved or not.

Included in the ROM are my Radio.apk and WincaBluetooth.apk mods.

This is the link to the update_S150A.zip that you have to replace in your previous 4.03 rom:

Hi np27np27,

For your information, after several tests, I've found something that work perfectly.

I've made a v4.0.3 install SD with the mcu file of the v2.3.4 (root and winca folder).

It's great, everything work now. :victory:

[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
I would also add,

Can you still root the unit with Framaroot in 4.0 ?

Do you have the unfinished boot problem (when you stop booting before finishes) in 4.0 ?

Can you post your build.prop file from 4.0 (did they change some parameters there of how the device appears in Play) ?

For this problem I contacted two software developers (for TTS engines). They both told me they don't impose any limitations whatsoever based on device for their software so the fact that Google blocks it may be for some missing or incorrect parameter in the file. They even tried to contact Google which send them to "speak with the manufacturer of the device" which is hard as we don't really know who develops the platform.

Congratulations!!! Finally something new to play with ;)

So, which one is better? Wince or android?
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Android wins.. better browser, more nav software and other apps. But it still a little raw. WinCE has nicer interface and easier controls for the normal user.

But Android is more customizable and with some skins it will look nicer.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
What about the Radio?

And the audiopalyer? Does it show the song list in the same way or at least it has a better and more handy file browser?

Can the Steering wheel controls control all the apps?

Didnt have time to play with it yet, but will post update this weekend.

Hey Guys,

I'm running the beta 4.03 firmware but want to try the original 11-02 posted earlier. But the update firmware option from settings menu doesn't work.

I copied the files to blanc fat32 SD card put it in the GPS slot and ran the update procedure from the settings menu. The Unit reboots but doesn't update.

Ik I create a recovery sd and pt the files on it, the update proccedure works. The only problem is that the unit won't startup fully. It gets stuck in the logo screen and I have to flsh 4.03 again.

I still think it has something to do with the bootloader. When I flash a 2.3 firmware I only see one line like "upgrading bootloader..."

When I flash the 4.03 Firware I see 2 lines like that.
[Android Head-Units] stief:
findings for now with the 4.0.3 beta firmware

Hey guys,

Here my findings for now with the 4.0.3 beta firmware. Keep in mind that I have never used the original 2.3.4 firmware. I've used WinCE and the 4.0.3. firmware so I can only compare it with WinCE.

Interface:

4.0.3 takes a few seconds longer to boot than WinCE.

The WinCE interface is more dummy proof and easier for people not familiar with smartphones or tablets

I don't know if there are skins available for the S150, but for the S100 (WinCE) there were enough especially the ones created by our Italian friend

The WinCE interface runs on top of the OS hiding the real GUI and ofcourse the advanced options

Android gives you the ability to install apps.

Internet:

4.0.3 is much faster than winCE. Also you have the choice to use other browsers ( even multiple if you want to)

I can install certificates and create VPN on 4.0.3

Radio:

WinCE interface looks nicer. RDS works, but doesn’t show station names only frequencies in Android.

Reception quality is the same

DVB-T:

Works on both but the interface on WinCE is easier to use. But only needed when you setup. After the initial setup I only use pgup, pgdown and volume.

Music player:

Works pretty much the same but I Don’t think you can browse folders.

It does show album art much nicer than CE

Video player:

I think the WinCE version looks better. On 4.0.3 it didn’t work. Can’t seem to find video files. List stays emty even if I do a scan.

Bluetooth:

Works the same and gives the same options

NAV:

On WinCE I used IGO which works great. On 4.0.3 I tried Sygic an TomTom. TomTom crashes when I start so couldn’t test is. Sygic only works if I put the maps on the SD in the DVD slot (right one). If I put it in the GPS slot I get the message “SD Card is not accessible”. Also Sygic gave me weird speeds, it showd 90 km/h while I was doing like 20km/h. This could be just a Sygic issue though.

Connections:

My car (Kia Sportage r) usb connection doesn’t seem to work with 4.03. Device doesn’t see the usb stick. While this works on CE.

PIP:

What PIP?????  I really miss this on 4.0.3. I really was used to in on WinCE. For instance when I was navigating and received a call, I got a split screen with Igo on the left and the phone conversation on the Right. This is a real bummer!

Software:

Firmware is not rooted and Framaroot doesn’t work

Some Chinese apps installed by default. But you can remove them

Issues:

Can’t seem to do a firmware update (downgrade) the normal way. See previous post.

My car usb connector doesn’t work in 4.0.3

GPS sd card becomes read only in 4.0.3

Video player doesn't see video files on my sd

Cheers,

Stief

Hi Stief, tnx for your report :)

If I'm right there is no way right now to go back to WinCE but I've found this multibooting procedure for the Herotab C8: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/25774-firmware-multi-booting/

Do you think it will be possible to arrange the procedure #2 to boot android on the S100 without really flashing it on NAND?

Or maybe use any of these sw solutions:

Thanks for your detailed review.

I use as Navi IGO for Android, which runs from the SD card (sdnavi).You need to look for a beta version, is not available on Play. In 2.3 the card is RW. If in 4.0.3 this becomes RO is a bummer as the app keeps a lot of status info on the card, so it will not work well. This alone is enough not to install the beta for me. Let's hope it will be fixed in release, if will be one in the future.

USB works for me, but with the cable which came with the unit not with the one build in car (probably different pin assignments). Don't use it often so the cable coming inside the glove box not in the dash does not bother me. In your case must be something else, as your USB worked before so it can't be a cabling issue. Also not being able to root the unit is bad. Another reason to stay with 2.3.

Do you have steering wheel controls on your car ? Do they still work after update?

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

I'm sure it can work. The unit is able to boot from SD without using any build in boot loader (stief proved it). What need to be changed is the boot loader parameters on the card, and the install scripts not to do the flashing part but to launch the OS from the SD card. We need someone with experience, let's hope someone buys a unit (on OUKU they had luck). The disadvantage is the SD is slower than internal flash so the boot time and launching apps may be a little bit slower. Use a fast card to minimize the access time 16GB SanDisk 30 MB/s cards can be found cheap-10-15$ around. You will not get 30 MB but at least 20 MB with this cards. I don't think I would use it as a permanent solution but would be nice to be able to test different firmware without touching the unit.
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Yes I do. They work fine. Had to play with the CANbus setting tough. I have it on light while with the WinCE firmware I had to set it to no for my car.

[Android Head-Units] Swordhun:
Thx
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Is this exacly the schematic of the external box of S150 ? If yes, I suppose that the unit is equipped with an internal antenna amplifier, that has to be powered by antenna coax cable. Also this means that , if I don't have this box, I have my internal amplifier not working and this is the matter because I have poor FM/AM sensitivity. Am I wrong ?

I think that is something like this:

Thank you, the ROM upgrade is Ok, I did it, but PPP widget says no root (I'll check later again), and iGo just searching the GPS sign, because there is lot of satellite ... 3G dongle not working yet.

If you did a full install you won't have root because it will install the original rom.

With custom install you'll choose to install root or not.

And btw with this ROM you shouldn't use PPP widget.

Ah, ok, thx.

And what about iGO and GPS issue? Is it working for everyone? iGO worked as well in 2.3.4.

Try doing it many times, sometimes it take up to 5 times to me

You should flash mcu and flash taken from your origianl 2.34 fw, put the bin files in the 4.03 fw and flash them
[Android Head-Units] mtresk:
Just add that need to flash twice. After the first time mcu erased, but not flashed. For the second time everything is OK.
