Thanks buddy. Yes the HU you adviced seems to have good specs. But i ordered my Dashlinq4 a week ago. I hope it wont disappoint me. I was looking for a specific HU for my Mazda3 not for an universal one. i think Universal ones look a far away from original . By the way; Ca-fi customer support said that they work hard on a update for their HUs to make them have Android 4.4 or sth else.
[Android General] Jagermonsta:
an update!? yay! that said though they are pretty good with releasing updates and fixes but an updated OS would be great.

I know the Dashlinq comes to suit certains models of car and has the extra plastic trim etc so it blends in - hope you found what you were after. one thing about this head unit is that the in-built mic isn't great, but i've tested it twice, the first time i sounded like i was underwater, the second test the wife had no issue understanding me... so i dunno. when ordering you can apparently ask them to include a mic jack on the back of the unit so you can use an external mic. i emailed them about this and they said it's really easy to do yourself and gave a quick run down on what had to be done 9soldering and screwing in a mic jack to the back panel, essentially). i haven't been able to find anyone who's said they've tried a usb mic with it as a workaround, but given the MCU probably controls this i would think it wouldn't work with bluetooth, but would with google now. just guessing though

You won't be unhappy my friend, there's root access to this thing and some pretty cluey people on the below forum (this was linked earlier, but just in case)

Will "OK Google" voice commands work with this unit?

Can you do USB tethering from your phone instead of WiFi hotspot?

Anyone asked if perhaps android auto will be implemented on this unit?
[Android General] bwthor20:
Late answer, but I don't think that this HU works as a USB device like a phone. I'm rooted, and ran adb commands and such using some Wi-Fi ADB app. Worked fine for what I needed.
[Android General] Jagermonsta:
-ok google does indeed work as long as you have "google" (formerly google now) installed form the playstore. the version i have on my mobile phone has 'google everywhere' enabled (so you can say 'ok google' from any screen, not just within the google now app), but on the ca-fi i can't find this option, so it seems to only work within google now. i need to check versions against each other and try to see why google everywhere isn't available on the ca-fi (maybe because it's detected as a tablet and that functionality isn't supported on tablets?)

-not sure about usb tethering instead of wifi but i guess i can try later on, wifi's just better for me (on the very, very rare occasion i need to connect it to the internet - it's 95% a standalone unit for me)

-i've not officially asked about android auto on this but given that the current android auto is reliant on a phone being connected via USB and isn't much good on its own, the software that's currently on the ca-fi is far better in my opinion (just normal android). When the NEXT version of Android Auto comes out however (the M release of android maybe?), that'll be pretty awesome. apparently it's not dependent on any other devices and works on its own without having to be tethered or connected to anything

Anyone have issues with Pandora force closing after a certain amount of time? I can't make a commute of 30 minutes without at least one force close.
[Android General] Thunderbear:
Spotify works so much better than Pandora, so I may have permanently switched. The skip button in the drop down works perfectly while I'm running torque.
[Android General] dwittyguy:
One drawback of the Newsmy unit is that it only has 2 hours of standby max.
[Android General] Jagermonsta:
Oh... Well at least it comes with root out of the box and we've full access to the source code? :P

I'm still using the Dashlinq4 and am still very happy with it. I updated it to the latest version the other week and lost my root access by doing so, and so I don't have the Viper EQ anymore. But the advanced features on the Dashlinq4 EQ look incredibly similar to Viper anyway, so no major loss really
[Android General] Rhainor:
Was poking through the thread for this unit on FT86club, and found this post a few pages back, from Burmjeff; he'd previously been able to pre-root one of the official updates by tweaking one of the files inside the rom, repacking it, and generating a fresh MD5 checksum.

Anybody wanna take a crack at rooting the 2015/1/7 update via this method?

Question to owners : radio.apk ?

Hi There,

I'm trying to solve an issue I've got with my unit (an AN21-U) regarding the RadioText system of this radio.

To do that, It would be very interesting to tinker with the Radio.apk of a Dashlinq4. Could anyone be so kind to provide me with the radio.apk file of a Dashlinq4 please ?

Thanks in advance,

Root not working 100% -- Can't write to System Folder

Apparently root does not entirely work... you cannot write to the System folder. This is what I have heard, but have not installed the new firmware yet. Not being able to install Viper to system folder is a deal breaker... but I want to use the DVR function in the newest firmware, so hoping someone with root knowledge can get 100% root with the latest firmware.

[Android General] Jagermonsta:
Thanks for sharing this, I didn't have any luck with it though - it installed OK, then when I removed the SD card and rebooted, it just stayed on the initial 'Ca-FI' screen and went no further. I put the stock Ca-Fi supplied image back on and it booted normally and I could reinstall all my apps, get my apps ordered how I like them and so on. Bit of a shame because I'm a bit of a fan of Viper...

Anyone else had this issue?

microphone

hey guys, just wondering how your real world use of the bluetooth calling is via the internal microphone?

trying to figure out whether to buy this unit or go the HuiFei unit route but it looks like that unit is plagued with microphone issues.

cheers
[Android General] Rhainor:
The internal mic is decent, but not great. However, when you order, you can request them to add a jack for an external mic (standard female 1/8 in. / 3.5mm mono audio jack). Or you can add said jack yourself before installation (there are instructions on Ca-Fi's forums).

Here's the catch: Ca-Fi isn't making the Dashlinq4 any more. The Toyota Universal model is sold out for good; other versions (for specific cars, or universal models for other makes) may still be in stock, but they won't be for long.
[Android General] hypothelamus:
nooooooooooooooooo :(

you're right, I just went to "order" and it said its out of stock for the Mazda 3 model :(

guess its back to the drawing board again

[Android General] Jagermonsta:
I've given up on this head unit. It served me well for the year and a half ~ 2 years that I had it but I think I'm trying to do too much with it. I'm using the dashcam firmware from March 2015. I find that if I'm listening to the default/stock music player and the dashcam app is running, the music player stutters a lot. As the dashcam app can only record to USB at this point in time, I put in a second USB stick and had music on one, and dashcam recording to the other and this seemed to mostly resolve the issue, but still had the occasional choppiness in music playback. When you start up navigation as well, music and dashcam appear to be ok but Google Maps and Sygic both respond poorly, and stop working for periods of time making me miss my turn etc. I hear that they're going to update the firmware for the Dashlinq 4, but that announcement was made a while ago and I've grown impatient of waiting.

I've since bought a Joying unit that runs Kitkat 4.4.4 and they say they're working in a Lollipop update. It has all the same features and functions as the Cafi Dashlinq 4. I installed it yesterday, and within 10 minutes I realised I'd make a good investment. My wife got in the car, noticed the change and said she likes it better also (though I suspect that she likes it better because it's visually nicer to look at, as well as the better quality screen (same resolution though I think)). It also has a dedicated sub out, and external microphone jack. Joying's unit is also a Quad core, as opposed to the Dashlinq4's single core.

So, for anyone thinking about the Cafi Dashlinq 4, my personal recommendation is to look for a bit longer and do more research into other units, unless you just care about music playback and GPS - forget the dashcam.

PS the Joying UQ128 is cheaper - $299, Vs. $399 for the Dashlinq4 (currently on special, reduced from $499). The joying also comes with reverse camera, external microphone, and usb camera for Dashcam app with enough cabling to install everything.
[Android General] TeamHackura:
Thanks for the info. i am installing a backup cam on my ca-fi. What wire from the car did you hook to the brown trigger wire? What car? I have scion fr-s.

I am having terrible audio experience with the ca-fi and performance. Cant get good audio out of it, i get better performance out of a $29 android burner. The single core processor just cant hang. The 1 GB of ram ensures that even apps in the foreground get closed sometimes. Forget about background apps. Pandora always crashing is a pain too. Got a link for Joying? Does it have GPS?
[Android General] Jagermonsta:
Forgot to mention - Joying's unit is also pretty popular on XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60591423&postcount=12068

I've used this ROM (http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/cont...OMS Malaysk/Malaysk Quadcore RK3188/1024x600/) and everything worked (it seems to be much the same as stock but with root access and UI tweaks, a few other settings and menu tweaks that aren't really worth mentioning). However it didn't really give me anything extra that I cared about and didn't change my blurry USB camera issue, so I switched back to stock.

PS my car is a Holden Adventra

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Sleuth255:
So, a while back, my 8125 went overboard into the icy waters of lake Michigan while we were launching my sailboat "Adventurous". Crap! My life was stored on that device! So, one day later, I suited up for a cold water dive plan, donned scuba gear and recovered it. Water temp at the bottom was 35 degrees with 6" visability. My goal was to recover the SIM and miniSD where I had a full backup, then restore into a new 8125. This I did with no problems and have been running this way since mid May.

Yesterday, I checked my original 8125 and the water had finally evaporated out of the screen, so on a whim I installed its battery and put it on the charger. Imagine my surprise when the charging light came on! Imagine my further surprise when 2 hours later that light changed from red to green!

Imagine my utter amazement when I pressed the power button and it came right up! It's been running perfectly for 2 days now.

damn.... 24 hours submerged at 33 feet in muddy 35 degree water... :shock:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dangerous_dom:
I don’t mean to piss on your party here guys, but there is a high chance it will fail at some point soon.

You see circuit board is made from lots and lots of thin layers (waffers). What happens is that when these layers absorb water when things like that happen. That water will stay there and will slowly corrode the circuitry over time.

To stand a better chance of it surviving long term, as well as taking the battery out (good advice) to avoid short circuiting and fry sensitive components, you need to keep it in a very dry and quite warm (like on top of a radiator, with a towel between if it’s too hot) and leave it there for a few days (even a week or longer).

I was told this by a senior Nokia engineer after my old phone died. I was pushed into a swimming pool on holiday. I was amazed when the phone in my pocket was still working after being completly soaked. It worked for a week before starting to fail (backlight etc) and by 2 – 3 weeks it was completely dead.

You might be lucky, depends on how tight the outer casing is. My advice to you would be to stop using it and get it somewhere very warm for as long as you can. Keep us posted.

I had a Siemmens (sp?) phone that fell into the pool, the phone stayed at the bottom for several minutes while I cussed at it.

After retrieving it, I took the battery out and stuck the phone in a toaster oven. I set the oven one its lowest heat setting and left it in there for three 20 minute sets (the oven timer only went up to 20 minutes :-)

60 minutes later, I put the battery back in and powered the phone back up. It worked, and continued to work to this day, approx 1 year later. I just semi-retired it in favor of my new 8125 :)

I thought for sure that the chlorine in the pool would have corroded the crap out of the circuitry.

Hi,

I received the ordered product couple of days back - New Samsung Battery EB575152LU for Galaxy S SL Plus i9001

I did plugged my cellphone to wall charger straight for more than 8 hours. Firstly, it could charge only to 60%+. I did a quick google to land upon a method of charging and discharging the new battery to extreme limits. I practiced. Unfortunately, it has been more than two days now. The battery is taking more than 10 hours to charge.

Problems -

The battery takes more than 10 hours to charge to 60%+

It doesn't charge beyond 70%+. The phone is shutdown and charging takes place again from 0%.

This is quite frustrating considering it's very new battery I had ordered. I have already tried different chargers and USB cables. All in vain. I have read numerous threads and posts, and did like it all said. None of them has helped me.

Please help me.
