Update on Bluetooth

Started to pay attention more to my phone/BT settings due to some people not reporting any problems with incoming calls and the unit switching over to notify of an incoming call.

I have a Nexus 5 (running Lollipop - rooted - no other mods) connected to the Bluetooth "app" on the unit. I have BT Music disabled on the settings but everything else is enabled.

I have a Tasker profile set up on my phone that detects the BT connection to the HU and enables the WiFi tether app on my phone - and stops the WiFi tether when it detects the disconnect.

So without fail, the phone will detect the BT connection and enable the WiFi tether every time I'm in the car.

I have one of the SWC buttons mapped to the "Phone App" on the HU. This morning was the first time I hit it, accidentally and noticed that the Phone App did not launch. I pressed it again and saw on the HU screen a message stating that there was no BT device connected. I checked my phone and the phone registered the HU unit as being connected. Pressed the SWC button again, still same message about no connection. Went into the BT App and noticed it said "unlinked". Checked phone again, still said connected.

Cycled the BT connection on the BT App and finally said "Linked". Pressed the SWC button and it launched the phone app.

So, for whatever strange reason the phone registers the BT connection but the HU unit will not. I have to "force" the conncetion by cycling the BT in the app.

Perhaps this is why I am not getting notification of incoming calls?

Measure 7 times before cut! :D

Have you measured needed frame at your car?? 190*110 is what I needed for my CR-V '06 and as I know it has same space for radio as CR-V '03. Take a measurements before purchase.

I have everything as you described, except Tasker and automatic WiFi tether (hadn't time for it still. What APP do you use far Tasks?) and same problems (some reported before).

+ I have automatic screen lock on my device, and when it is locked it is impossible to make a call from HU. HU just says or shows nothing like error.

+ I have got two cases when Radio app was playing on screen and call is incoming (phone screen was locked at that time) with ringing sound, but there were no way to Pick up this call - no notification windows with Answer button. I launched Bluetooth app at that moment but it was not able to pick up call too. Only way to Answer, was Answering on phone. After that all communication goes trough HU.

After that call I opened Phone App on HU and it showed that there is no BT device connected despite that phone showed connection with HU and even Bluetooth App state was Linked.

Well, seems there are bugs with bluetooth Apps or connection and I hope these are SW bugs not HW problems.
[Android Head-Units] NU5002S:
can you please share that profile with me? Do you use Foxfi? I once tried to create a task where it would turn on the foxfi point with android clicks but it didn't work out too well.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
There definitely is a bug in the BT app / connection. Because at times I can place a call using the BT app when my phone is locked. Manually launching the BT app and dialing a phone number will make a call. But that's when the HU unit actually recognizes that there is a phone connected. I don't know what causes it to drop the connection, or what causes it to not register at times, or when / how it decides to connect. Its pretty damn frustrating.

I use the Nexus built in WiFi tether app. One of the bonuses to having a Nexus device I suppose. It is not a third party app. If I can figure out how to share it with you, I will. It wasn't that hard to set up though. Its just a simple toggle script when it detects the HU connection.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
For solve the notification problem when screen is locked, may be can add a task, that disable the auto lock, when BT is conected in your car, or if you have Android 5.0 on your phone you can use the secure places, that do this automatcly
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
I don't think so. I am using IBM Traveler and I have corporate security policy to use Screen lock. So, these settings are not changeable from other Apps as only from Traveler.

It is more HU SW problem, because, for example, by using bluetooth earpiece I am able to make a call from headphone (last dialed) when phone is locked.

Just checking the wiki, and notice last MCU is V26

I dont have my car here now to confirm, leave at service shop this morning. But if my head does not fail, my unit came with 1.09 and mcu27 from factory

I will recheck when get my car back
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Has anyone found a download link for a version of MCU higher than v26?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Hey I've been trying to donate but there is some kind of issue with the link I think. I put in an amount and it's getting converted to Euros at double the rate (e.g., I put in $100 USD and click OK and it says it's going to charge me 155,32€ (which is about 200 USD). There is no option to change it. Is it possible to just do a regular paypal instead?
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Added in 2gb android box tidbit to the wiki and I think I should post some info about donating as well. Sound good to everyone?

Think there might be something weird related to the conversion rate, though no one has tried to donate that much before... Uncharted territory for me as far as PayPal is concerned.
[Android Head-Units] Zaxela:
It will be so.

I ordered too.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
I'm not sure, but perhaps we should note these bugs too:

- Syncing contacts is not syncing but Importing and do it in strange way. see here.

- Dialing from native address book does not work (Only Ekki_221 posted that it works for him).

- Music playing stops when you make a call, which is correct, but .... it doesn't continue to play after a call. You have to push Play.

- Hands-free calling has much much lower speaker volume than radio or multimedia playback volume.

- can not adjust the brightness of the illumination on the buttons. they are too bright at night.

- WiFi is always off after full Power cycle. Perhaps it is not a bug, but then could be feature - WiFi On after Power up.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

It wouldn't be upgrade for existing owners of 1Gb box. For new buyers it would be choice. ;)
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
- Hands-free calling has much much lower speaker volume than radio or multimedia playback volume.

This can be solved by opening the bluetooth phone app and pressing the Vol+ button in this app and set it to it's max.

- WiFi is always off after full Power cycle. Perhaps it is not a bug, but then could be feature - WiFi On after Power up.

I do not have this problem. I think this is a user setting?

I have mailed the other problems to Summer. I recieved an e-mail from Summer if I had experienced any problems with the NU3001 and installing the NU3001.

I also asked for a download link of the latest MCU.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
Even with max value sound of call is much lower. BTW does it just seems to me that Vol+ and Vol- buttons should be on Dialer window not on Bluetooth start part? They are usable while in call, not when trying do magic sync of contacts :D or seeing bluetooth state.

What kind of settings? I see only WiFi on/off in Settings. If you have turned WiFi on and switch off Car for at least 3 hours (when Android box turns off), after powering unit is WiFi still ON?

I have informed Summer about these problems too. Just got question about FW version and suggestion to use 3rd party address book (it doesn't help). :rolleyes:
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Problem normaly when you import contect on any android, is that if you al ready sync it with your gmail app, contact will duplicate is norml problem that happen in any androod if you import contacts that already avaiable con gmail.

It worked fine to mee too. If bluetooth app is realu linked with phone, it will launch the call. if bt app is unlocked, it will do nothing

Yes thats right, at least with google play musc, music stop, but dont autoplay after finish the call.

I think, will be beter to mute the app, intead stop

i dont notice that, will recheck once recive the car

Thats not really a bug, as, but will be nice as feature

I think mine is ok, but will check any way when get the car back
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
Disagree, but ok. I was talking about "Sync contacts" option from Bluetooth app which works as "Import" not "Sync". And it makes separate records of same person for every phone number this person have. This was done on fresh HU without google account activated on it.

If you launch it second time, it will NOT synchronize but will import everything again and again.

Will check it that way. If so, the Bluetooth linking problem actually here.

Better - option: mute or stop
[Android Head-Units] Ekki_221:
I can not confirm this.

With my unit, Wifi is always on.

After a complete restart, Wifi also starts automatically after booting is finished.

I had never to touch the Wifi Option a single time again.

Always connects perfectly automatically to my phone-hotspot.

Yes, that is how it is with my unit also....

Just a heads up, Poweramp is having a sale on the unlocker app. Down from the stupid ridiculous price of $5 down to .99c. For those of you who want it.

Dont know if this is directly related and if the proposed solution there works, But it does indeed sound like the N5 is a bit picky about external BT-control when locked...

[Android Head-Units] spoks:
Your unit works as it should work. Which firmware version do you have? Did you use any upgrade?

Do you use Security PIN lock for phone screen lock? If not, could you try it?

BTW I have Samsung S4 mini, so it is not N5 only related problem ...

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

Found this.

Will check it later.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Make sure you know what you are buying. That 8 inch unit is not a standard 2-din component. If your vehicle accepts a 2-din unit, you will almost certainly be cutting/trimming your dash/bezels to fit.

I've not had time to install mine yet, but it does look like the 'chassis' is 2-din size, with just an oversized screen. I'll have to cut my dash bezel to make it fit.

For the rest of you, I'm still working on the AOKP build. I've got a complete device tree set up and pushed to my github (this is my second setup unfortunately, the first one was giving me too many issues). But I'm still fighting through some compile errors in the stagefright/ffmpeg area. Rockchip uses an SDK and some prebuilts for audio/video that I'm having issues getting to fully cooperate. It doesn't help that device enablement was never my thing, so I'm fighting through this a little blind.

Got busy with work this week, but will work on it some more as I have time. If there is anyone else out there with some familiarity with building Android, please take a look at my github and see if you can help iron out the details: https://github.com/Zaphod-Beeblebrox/platform_manifest
[Android Head-Units] Ekki_221:
Oh, with the S4 this BT-Lock is a common issue anyway.

But as far as I know, the S4 has a Special Option for that:

Call Dialer / Call Settings / Call Accessories / Outgoing Call Conditions

Choose: Enable when device locked.

Should be the same with the Mini, no?

I've created a built server. Interested in syncing and trying to compile build AOKP.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Would love you to dig in and try to help solve a few issues! :)

Depending on your knowledge and what you've already done, you will probably want to start here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639611

That will help you configure Ubuntu properly as a build environment.

At the point in that tutorial that is tells you to 'repo init' the android source, use the links in my platform manifest instead (so you'll pull my AOKP setup, and not stock/AOSP as indicated in the torial).

Once you have my source sync'd you'll need to build the kernel (I am using [MENTION=6095496]red13dotnet[/MENTION]'s kernel and it's already synced in the tree... you just have to build it.) You can find directions on his github at: https://github.com/red13dotnet/kernel
[Android Head-Units] NU5002S:
Are you talking about building a file in which to flash a nu5002 with that would be a modified stock version of android?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes. I've been working on porting AOKP to the NU3001/NU5002. While I haven't been active in close to a year, I did a lot of the Navbar/Statusbar code in AOKP originally that would be very useful to these devices.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
I've got Ubuntu running and syncing is done last friday. Now i have to see how to do the rest.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I completely overhauled the device tree over the Thanksgiving holiday. I found a device that is very similar to our Android box (http://radxa.com/Rock). And they also have a github device tree designed for building CM. (https://github.com/radxa) & (https://github.com/jungleji?tab=repositories)

Since AOKP shares a lot of CM structure (we use the bulk of their build system and device tree's), I started rebuilding based on that system. Got a lot further, but still running into issues.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Thank you for the information. I'll re-sync the files just to be sure.

What kind of modifications do you think newsmy did to their android version to get it all to work with their MCU, etc?

If we go to AOKP, do we lose Newsmy's MCU program and newsmy radio app? I don't have my unit yet but I do have some experience with AOKP
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
I had been taking a look at your code and compile was failing for me at stagefright as well. Wasn't able to determine the problem. My thoughts are leaning towards myself migrating Amplified to 4.4.4 from 4.4.2 when possible, though I would like to get a more useable version of Amplified released with some bugs squashed first. Should be a slightly easier hop from aosp 4.4.4 to aokp based on 4.4.4

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Specialized driver integrated into kernel, the bulk of mcu specific code appears to exist in the bonovomcu app. It seems to be acting like a secondary HAL that allows bonovo android apps to interact with the mcu and also allows things like brightness and volume control to affect the mcu. If aokp can build properly, integrating the bonovo specific parts should be possible. It would be critical actually, the radio is the least of which would disappear without the bonovo specific software.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Where is it hanging now?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
There were a bunch of changes in the frameworks, but they were pretty well documented. I was able to grep for changes and import them into the base AOKP frameworks. You can scourge my github to look at the various commits.

I don't anticipate losing any functions of the radio. The core apps were easy to move over, and as indicated, the other frameworks changes were well identified.

Depending on which ffmpeg I use (Radxa has an ffmpeg that is supposedly based off of a merge of CM and Rockchip SDK's, and of course CM's base FFMPEG), I get different errors, but all centering around stagefright plugins.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Just a thought but have you already tried swapping in the ffmpeg implementation from our base source code and seeing, if nothing else ,that the compile fails at a different spot?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
If I understand correctly, now that we know how to talk to the MCU, we could in theory pretty easily write our own radio app, our own balance/fader control app, etc. We can also probably figure out what things like "whether astern mute" etc. mean.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I suspect the build environment is different enough from AOSP and CM/AOKP that this won't work either, but it's worth a shot. I'll try when I get a chance.

Yes, with varying definitions of 'pretty easily'.

I've already import the bonovo apps into my github. https://github.com/Zaphod-Beeblebrox/packages_apps_BonovoApps

Feel free to go through that code and see if you can make sense of what everything does :)

I haven't given it much look yet, as I'm still focused on just getting a solid build.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
"whether astern mute": when enabled and the reverse sensing wire is connected, this mutes audio output while in reverse.. intended to make it easier to concentrate on what you're doing.

Brilliant, but not without some hassle.

Hey all,

So my unit arrived today and I thought i'd have a go at installing it. I bought a wiring adapter and fascia kit for my 2006 Fiesta ST.

After wiring everything up, I couldn't figure out for the life of me why the unit wasn't powering up. To cut a long story short, after hours of fiddling I put the exterior lights on the car; this brought the unit to life. I'm guessing this is because of a backlighting control coming through the adapter (so that the dashboard lights up at night etc).

My problem is that I can't figure out how to wire around this problem so that the unit is always on, i'v tried moving the wires so that the live from the car goes to both the control and live on the unit but unfortunately this didn't work. Merging the connection of the control and live wire works, but puts all the interior lights on permanently!

(control wire might not be the correct terminology, sorry!)

Really appreciate any help here, when the unit was active it responded brilliantly to touch and everything pretty much functioned as expected for what I need (Didn't go into too much depth testing).

Thanks all!
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I think you've confused some wiring terminology and connections. You should have a 12v power that goes to always on battery (this is normally the Yellow wire in the radio harness). a 12v Accessory wire (normally red) that goes to 12v when the car is turned on.. And a 12v Illimunation wire (brown?) that goes to 12v when the lights are turned on.

You need to find the corresponding wires/hookups on your vehicle harness (or adapter you bought).

I would guess that you have the Illumination wire connected to the Accessory wire on the radio.

I will probably buy a RCA splitter and then an LFE convertor to get some subwoofer output going... anyone done this before can recommend a good LFE/Subwoofer convertor thing? As of now I just have an Aux Right Front and Aux Left Front output from the head unit. I need a RL subwoofer output too. I don't care about my rear 2 speakers.

Any recommendations on a back up camera (wired) for this unit?
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Quote on an other topic:

So you have resistive SWC and do not need a extra converter.

The backup camara is easy. All (aftermarket) backup camara's have 2 wires. 1 for the video signal (RCA cable) and a 12V cable.

Connect the RCA cable to the yellow RCA reverse input and connect the 12V cable to your cars REVERSE - 12V signal.

If you do not have a 12V reverse cable in your car, then run a extra wire from your reserve light to the front of your car and connect it to the REVERSE cable.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
For rear camera you can find a lotaftermarket units.

if you dont want to pass cable from front to back, you can use one of this wireless senders http://www.carnaviplayer.com/wireless-transmitter-and-receiver-for-backup-camera-p-843

I have installed one on my touareg. and worked fine.

Some times get some interferences, in certain builds.
