Finally got my unit and made the official switch from the AN21-U to the Newsmy NU3001. Overall, I am very satisfied with it, I just need a few questions answered as I'm still trying to figure this unit out.

1. I installed Renedis's debloated rom without soft buttons, but it seems that I am loosing the menu button on some apps as well. For example, when the unit arrived it was with the soft buttons and on Torque Pro the settings icon on the lower left of the screen was visible. Now after installing the rom without the soft buttons, I don't see the settings icon anymore. I have to set the Menu button on my SWC in order to get access to the menu button. Is there some connection?

2. When I try to make a call over bluetooth I am having some mic problems. When my external mic is connected to the unit, nobody can hear me. When I disconnect it, everyone can hear me. I know the external mic works, because it worked fine on my previous unit. Just not sure why the internal mic is being used and not the external one. Anybody else have this problem and if so how did they fix it?

Noise on VW unit

Hi there,

I just installed my NU5261 VW unit and i am hearing a stange noise (pops and ticks) when i try to open an application.

When music is playing no pops are heard.

The second problem i have observed is that the sound is muted when i open the music app and select a file, playing with volume has no effect. When i open the radio app the sound comes back. To fix this i have to enable BT music in the Bluetooth app. Someone has the same problem?

I believe you guys are doing an excellent work in this forum.:):)

Thank you very much in advance
[Android Head-Units] deeznutz1977:
Try changing the notification sound to silent
[Android Head-Units] yaoufi:
it"s not an android notification that i am hearing . it's an annoying noise .
[Android Head-Units] deeznutz1977:
Gotcha. I apologize. All your connections are good correct. Do you have an amp?
[Android Head-Units] yaoufi:
To be honest i don't think i have an amp. I have a VW Passat B6 with stock speakers.

The installation was very simple so it's possible that the guy forgot to connect some cables: He just connected the iso connector and connected two cables: illum ,Acc and AV back for reverse camera: thats all.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
The radio application is different with new update. No RDS...
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
There are some VWs and Audis that have built in amps for the rear speakers only so its worth double checking.

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

If its anything like the other Android stereos, the MCU will handle CAN Bus functions, an adapter is used just for extracting analogue reverse signal, acc signal, speed pulse etc from the CAN Bus system and sending them to head unit.

Find out which wires on the head unit are for CAN Tx and Rx (or CAN high and CAN low) and connect them to the corresponding wires from your car, then experiment with the settings in the MCU app and see if the head unit picks up CAN stuff.
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
Had a browse in this thread and their comparison video with a huifei unit.

The ownice C200 has similar hardware to carpad2s but it antutu benchmarked much higher (25000) than newsmy (my unit scores 18000) why the difference with same hardware? must be a software thing?
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Well, I was able to troubleshoot my own problems from post 2784 if anybody is interested.

1. It does seem that if you hide the soft buttons you will also hide menu buttons like in Torque pro, so there is a connection. This is just for Torque pro and have not tested it for other apps.

2. As for the mic problem, the 3.5mm jack on the rear doesn't work with omnidirectional microphones (i.e 2 rings on the jack). It only works unidirectional microphones (i.e 1 ring on the jack). So keep this in mind when you buy a microphone.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

Have another question that I can't seem to figure out. For those who use iGO and have SWC, does iGO act weird when you use the volume up/down on the SWC? On mine, when I use the volume buttons on the SWC iGO takes me straight to the Find Address view. If I am in the Volume settings view, it increases/decrease the ding volume. I have the menu option mapped to my SWC. When I press it on the keypad app, I get an option "view accuracy" and "set accuracy" with values ranging from 20 - 200, but that doesn't seem to help with the iGO problem and am not sure what this actually does.

Has anyone experienced such awkward behavior and is there even a fix for this?
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I have a VW, and have stock amp. But problem is not that.

My AMP get HIGHT signals by default

I measured the output from stock radio unit and send high signals and not low.

Also tried to use RCA Outputs on nu3001, to see if noise disappear, but no sound when do that.

So my stock amp use High signal, and noise problem is not related with that.

Also noticed, that when Screen bright is 100% have almost no noise. But when SCREEN BRIGHT is below 50/75% noise increase a lot.

Dont know if problem is related with canbus decoder or what, but is annoying noise. Sound quality is very good, but this noise is a big ****

I think is related with android box, as when i open radio APP, there is almost no noise
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
I noted these issues previously(below), even the illumination wire affects igo. Im using iGO with Lastun skin.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Hmm, it sounds like some sort of bug with the screen dimmer, I would contact Summer.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
I'm using iGO with ANS Navigator. I posted these iGO and SWC issue on the FB group. Told Summer that the dev team should do some testing as this mostly like is a MCU bug and should be fixed in the next release.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
I'll try this one. Maybe it will fix my SuperSU binary update issues?

I'm going to wait for someone to debloat this new update before installing.... Lol
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Then how about this USB Mic? Don't see why this shouldn't work. Might risk it and buy it. Will let everyone know if it works or not.
[Android Head-Units] MrG3kk0:
Hey nestortoledo,

i have pretty much the same problems with my NU5261s in my VW!

when screen dimms down i get a strange noise and that really bothers me sometimes.

And i have not an extra canbus decoder. and since now i didnt notice that this kind of noise doesnt show up in radio APP, need to take a look after that! :)

Also geht da annoing nosise when music is running when i start up my car. sounds like there is something wrong with the frequency or so. maybe because of the xenon headlights?! :D i have no idea at all, and my wires are good..

greets @ yall
[Android Head-Units] janla:
Yes, benchmarks may differ even between same hardware/software devices.

You can force higher results messing with init.d performance settings or simple using Xposed modules such as Performance profile. See here for more:

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-performance-profile-t2723739

I am looking for this also to minimise power consumption during standby. Can be helpful with "one day" standby option allowed with recent firmware update.

However I don't think performance is our target at this stage of development.

I would rather focus on finding optimal software working with Newsmy MCU. Thus, my hopes for compatibility between Newsmy/OwniceHuiFei/Whatever MCU-related software. If so, we can easily gather RDS radio app for the beginning.

That is why i asked if anyone was brave enough to try to port apps taken from other devices.

No answer still...
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I also have xenon lights con my vw.

But noise is still present with lights off.

The noise you refer (frecuency problems) i have too.

Just one or two seconds. But that May becaused by low freq on CPU. when unit is on standby CPU freq is on minimum. And take some seconds to ramp freq up
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
My point in time measurement showed that the unit only draws 0.03A in standby which is quite efficient. This works out to be 0.72Ah over a 24 hr period and my battery is rated at 80Ah so it should be ok. I don't know if this fluctuates much though as mine was a point in time measurement (just after powering off the screen).

**************

One thing I have noticed on my NU3001 is that just after cold boot and using Poweramp there is a period of time where the SWC don't always function correctly and will batch up. It appears to start working after its told me I have new mail in my gmail account. I'm not internet connected at this point so these emails are cached from a previous internet connection. I assume that this is due to other apps running in the background and/or the swc app not utilising the multi cores properly?
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
It might be ground loop noise, you can get a ground loop isolator specifically for VW/Audi vehicles as it is a common problem for them, but only with the factory amp AFAIK.

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

This has been mentioned several times and it is not possible because the Newsmy, the Ownice and the HuiFei type units all use different MCUs.

All you could do if you wanted to is decompile the radio app and decompile the radio app from another unit and use the xml on the radio app from the Newsmy so it LOOKS the same as the radio app on another unit.

Guys i don't know if i am doing something wrong, bad settings or a bug on my Unit.

To hear sound on the radio App i have to disable bluetooth music in the BT app, otherwise no sound is played.

In the other hand, i have to enable BT music to be able to hear sound from mp3 files using the music App.

Anyone can help me with this issue?

Thanks

i have a question for them that use nu5261:

this unit have a fakra connector (or is included) or i need a fakra->iso adapter?

Thanks in advance :)
[Android Head-Units] MrG3kk0:
Hey,

if the cable of the antenna and the gps cable are seperated you dosn´t need fakra to iso adapter.

but if gps and radio antenna is combined you might need one.

greets
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
No real need for an adapter, the radio itself uses a fakra connector, you could get a fakra Y adapter if you have 2 antenna feeds in your car, however I've been running with just one hooked up with no issues, reception is just as good as factory.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Nuts, I already ordered it. I searched through the thread, but looks like I missed this post.

Anyway, will try to is if it will work through the mini USB OTG port. If it doesn't work, I know that Lollipop has USB mic drivers. So if we ever get an upgrade it might work then.
[Android Head-Units] Khael:
Thanks to all for answers!

i have gps and antenna separated so i shouldn't need an adaptor :)

I think also to buy this rear camera:

http://www.ebay.it/itm/Camera-de-re...55?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_71&hash=item339d35d37b

Do u think that works correctly with this unit?

Last question:

in my opinion if we don't need to connect HU to OPS, original rear camera, original amplifier or watch clima on screen why to connect HU to canbus?

Anyway when HU will arraive i'll check with VCDS if there are errors!
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
You would need to connect the hu to canbus so the radio turns on and off / functions like s OEM unit, without the radio wouldnt know when to turn on / off.
[Android Head-Units] x5nder:
I received my NU3001 this weekend an managed to install it. I have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer for me:

1) Weirdly, the buttons on the left side do not light up at my unit. Do I need to enable anything, is this something arranged at the ISO connector... or is my unit broken?

2) Will the HU automatically re-pair your bluetooth phone when in range, or do I have to manually pair from the Bluetooth app each time?

3) Did anyone try GoneMad Music Player? It keeps crashing when playing music (on external hard drive). I haven't tried playing music from SD card to see if the problem is related to that. I was planning on using Poweramp, but it doesn't support "Album artist" tags (so it's HELL to use if you have compilations) :(

Also, a few helpful remarks for other people:

* I can report that for my car I had to cross the red and yellow ISO wires, otherwise the HU will turn off immediately after turning off the car.

* Active subwoofers work quite well with the AUX OUT L/R outputs. The blue/white subwoofer wire can be connected to the blue/white P.CONT wire.

* I changed the dpi settings from 240 to 160 to make the text smaller and fit more widgets/content on the home screen. This works quite well, except for some native apps (like Radio) but I will try to do a per-app dpi setting for these apps. Changing the main dpi setting through Rom Toolbox Lite, changing per-app settings with Xposed.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
Connect "Illum" vire.

It should work automatically.

Works well with Player Pro to me.

If things begins to go wrong, like bluetooth not connecting automatically, wifi turns off after power off, etc ....... try to "factory reset" at first.
[Android Head-Units] MrG3kk0:
-necessary for speed depending volume control and rear camera gets signal from canbus when you use reverse gear and if you want to use your stering wheel controller for the HU you also need to connect canbus! :)

so use it ;)
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
I have the same problem with SWC (prev and next media) taking a while to start after a cold boot as if it has not loaded yet(takes a few more minutes to work). The SWC for volume control work instantly though.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
The reason it doesnt work as has been mentioned in several posts, is that it also contains a sound card, so ALL sound will go via the sound card in the mic.

You need a mic WITHOUT a sound card, read the thread or use thread search to find out which ones do not have one.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
I was aware this this USB Mic adapter has a sound car, but I wasn't aware that the USB condenser mic that I bought has a sound card.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Debloating that version would not be very smart. It's based on 1.1.2 and not 1.1.3. One possibility is to extract the bonovo apps from that file and put them in the debloated 1.1.3 version.

But I'm waiting on a 1.1.4 version to debloate.. Not planning on doing the above.
[Android Head-Units] Khael:
on a previous post an user told u that this mic doesn't works correctly.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
If you read the post after that, we're discussing why it doesn't work, not just the mir fact that it doesn't work.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
TBH, I didnt go back and look at the post, I just remember reading that mic with a sound card wont work as all the sound goes through their onboard sound card.

I dont know why that one doesnt work as it looks like it does not have a sound card, maybe its cos it has a stereo mic plug ? (- I remember reading that mics with a stereo plug dont work either, but I m following THREE (!) Android head unit threads now and I m not 100% it was this unit that that applies to !)
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
After you noted the post to me that the condenser mic doesn't work, nobody after that commented as to why, just that it didn't work. No big deal. I'll go ahead and try it anyway through the OTG port. My assumption is that there aren't drivers for it on KitKat and that's why this particular mic doesn't work. Like I said before, if we ever get to Lollipop, more USB mics like this one will become available as it has USB audio support.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Was trying to make a joke. Hence the LoL. Come on brother, give me a LITTLE credit for not being entirely stupid? ;)
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
USB mics do work with this, there is support in this device for them. The problem is that many USB mics use a sound card chip to function, which makes Android output the sound through the mic's sound card. When you test mics out, make sure you are still getting audio through the head unit speakers.

There is 1 mic listed in the wiki that is known to work without messing with the sound. If you find any more please add to the list.

NU5002

Joining the bandwagon, my unit arrived today. It seems I ordered the NU5002, thought I was ordering the one with buttons. Am I missing much by not having the buttons outside of the obvious functions they provide? i.e. adjusting volume, home and back isn't too painful without the buttons?

Got my unit today (so many wires!). The funny part is that I wrote on my order to set the value to 100$ to save some import taxes. And they actually wrote a note on the value declaration "Say us dollars one hundred only" ! Hillarious, off course they opened the box, even the sealed one inside, but luckily there were no invoice inside any of them. So I think it will be fine. And if not, I guess I deserve it ;)

You need to connect the orange ILLUMINATION wire from the cable plug to the headlight signal cable from your car.. Not the orange cable from the ISO plug. If you follow the orange cable from the ISO plug you will see that it leads to nothing.

It isn't just copy/paste with the apps. There is a lot more coding and configuring then you would think. I can see by watching the video that the settings.apk is heavily modded.

Newsmy doesn't do that. Newsmy has chosen to use a separate app (the MCU app) to make "car-related" changes.
