Hi rendl,

I am pretty sure it was working fine on previous versions and to be honest I have only noticed this since yesterday I was coming back home, it worked fine for about a minute or so and then through out the entire journey it did not produce any sound. I checked TomTom and Android sound and all was set to maximum. I use female UK voice.
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
Then the answer is probably simple.

You might have (accidently) hit the voice off button.

Try to locate that button and hit it again. ;)

The (hibernation) technology has been around since 2010 (Ubiquitous QuickBoot). http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57630289&postcount=1358

It does need ROM compatibility though...

QuickBoot for CyanogenMod in this case is demonstrated on phones. That's nice but I rarely shutdown or reboot my phone. It could

really be useful

on devices like the NU3001
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Thanks for the reply, only issue is the key editor isn't picking up anything when I select a key to edit and push or spin the knobs on the radio.

Other issues the new box has is the usb port cutting connection when the key is removed from the ignition (as in getting the storage removed unexpectedly error each time I put they key back in the ignition) and my left front speaker will randomly cut in and out. Neither of these problems existed in the original box.

So I'm puzzled. It definitely has weird quirks that I didn't have on the original box. It's not the radio itself as that worked perfectly fine up till the original box died.

The only thing I no longer have happening is the random screen flicker the the old box had. That has been fixed with the new box. These other issues tho, Need to be fixed as this feels like and expensive bandaid. The radio is only half working now.

Is there anything else that I can try?
[Android Head-Units] Orisai:
The voltage on the speed signal wire varies according to the car's speed, so the faster you move, the highest is the voltage on that wire.

If you connect it to the antenna, you'll be inducing more voltage than it's expected and you not only get a humming noise, but it could also damage the radio synth chip.
[Android Head-Units] owhbaem:
Thank you, already detached the wire. Now the problem fixed. I have another question, i paired phone Bluetooth with the unit. Everytime my phone notification comes, the radio will be silent about 10 second, which annoyed me. Any method that allows the radio stays on despite the notification from my phone?
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Is there any way to manually program the buttons for the radio without using the key editor app? Likely won't change anything but it's worth a shot. Just getting frustrated with this whole ordeal
[Android Head-Units] Summer-Newsmy:
please upgrade the android box and try again
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Just received some of the parts. Two quick questions, is there any polarity that i need to keep in mind when soldering the antenna? Moreover, can i solder the antenna in parallel with the other one or do you think it might make things worse?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Duck Dodgers:
I'm not 100% sure but I would expect the key editor be a function within the head unit, so only MCU affects it? I'm on v40 and it works fine on mine. I am still running stock rom but am planning on changing in the next couple of weeks.

Was thinking.....I know it's noisy.....but as Newsmy looks like they are bringing out new kit in the near future, I guess there will be a time when they will not be sending out any updates for the head unit. If/when this happens, this would be an ideal time for them to release the code for the MCU?!?!?!

Does anyone knows where i can find the same canbus convertor? I've the same car and almost the same radio (nu3001). Here the steering wheel control is working. Normally if i could buy the same part and install it , it sould work on my car to. The person on youtube is russian i think , i don't speak russian so ... :)
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
No Arduino Due, it was connected using AutoSense App, which looks like a PC Home interface. I was hoping to use it but it was not a reliable enough connection ( although the software is still in development)

Anyway with that and a USB ALDL cable (my car is OBD1) and then the potential to add the HDTuner (directed brand with a USB cable) it seems Android could not determine which cable was which, I guess because they are all FTDI? the Autosense Dev said he would incorporate the HDTuner within Arduino at somepoint.

I have decided to switch to a Bluetooth OBD, as I don't use it that much.. as for the tuner, I might add that as well this winter now that the AUX in can be used without video..
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
I've tried upgrading the firmware and mcu. I'm on mcu 44 and 1.2.2 as the original 1.2.2 that came with thevoxwasnt stable at all. I couldn't even edit the car settings as the app would crash.

I tried mcu 40,41 & 45 and no go. The. Buttons aren't being picked up. Still having the issue with the Usb Cutting off when the key is removed from the ignition.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Does anyone know the Voltage range for the Speed controlled volume? what is the Min and Max it expects or is it a PWM that increases and decreases with speed?
[Android Head-Units] VBlack:
I have Nissan, and I have 12v PWM speed signal.

[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Just got back from vacation so starting to catch up. I did receive your dead android box but haven't opened up the package yet.

2 of your issues actually sound related to wiring of the head unit, is it possible that the connections have come a little loose? The USB issue is definitely connected to the android box, I haven't had time to nail down when the code disabled the USB port. I suspect it is happening when the box goes into sleep. I know there is some kernel code to trigger a gpio to provide/remove power to the USB port. I'm not sure if it's the linux USB system shutting down or this gpio triggering to remove power.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm no I can't say that being an issue as I haven't had the radio out at all since the original box failed on me. All the wiring itself is in the factory radio lock so it won't come apart at all unless I undo the locking hinge. If it was the FireWire cable I would be experiencing issues with the display or thanks not turning on at all... All the issues in having (random speaker cut out [which hasn't happened since I changed the car type from vw to other], usb turning off when the key is pulled & keys not being able to program) were never an issue with the old box.

Seeing how my original box was maybe one of the original first produced boxes (not sure) perhaps that might be an issue?

My original box wouldn't power up with the mini usb port only the full, this new box wont power on the full just the mini usb.

I've set the standby time to be a day, so the box itself isn't turning off. This issue remained on mcu 40, 41 & 44 and on the factory 1.2.2

Let me know how you make out with the original box. If things continue as they are with this box I may have to purchase the original back lol. As this is just a little annoying... Actually a lot annoying. Paid 200cdn to get my radio working again and it's only half working. The only thing that has changed is the screen isn't flickering anymore and I don't have the random crackle when the screen were to flicker. Things wouldn't be so annoying to use if I had a home button. No home button makes it slightly a pain to use the radio, as my home button is a physical push button.

New issue. Randomly the radio will now have the actions of the back button being hit. Example when in Here GPS I'll randomly have a message asking if I wanted to end navigation. Which happens when you hit the back button... My back button isn't / won't program. The only back button I have is in the navibar

WIndows laptop connection or lack of it

Hi guys

Thought I would try and flash rom but android box is not being seen by laptop. Tried all USB ports, tried on another laptop, tried other cables but still nothing. AB light is green (plugged into the mini USB port). Had a look in device manager after downloading the Google USB driver but the few items under Other Devices does not recognise the USB driver so cannot be the AB. When I disconnect the AB, nothing disappears from the device driver and vice versa when connecting it back up......nothing!

AB works fine on stock rom and can update MCU fine but am frustrated I cannot flash it. Have I a box with faulty connections???
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Wow man thanks :eek: Ok i will read this as soon as i get home and i will start working on it. I think i missed out a few points when i told you what i bought. I go the sma connector so i will not be splicing the antenna wire. Moreover i also decided to get a 3 way switch that i plan to use so i select which antenna the signal wire goes to in the case i want to take out the android box and not use the 'big antenna'. I am guessing if i connect everything properly this should work right? The ground of both antennas will be common.

Thanks for your help and explanation :)

anyone has successfully connected an usb obd2 to torque app?? i get the obd adapter detected finally but it wont connect to ecu
[Android Head-Units] iHarry:
I did it after connecting through USB hub.
[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
Which adapter is it? I had to manually set the baudrate to get it working with torque.
[Android Head-Units] ChrisK-WA:
Wow, good timing. I just picked up a OBDLINK SX (Yesterday). I can get it to work fine connecting to my Windows Laptop but it's not being recognized in any Android app (Torque, Dash Command or the OBDLINK app). Running NU3001 w/ MCU 44 & 1.1.6C2. I've adjusted the setting in each and cant get it recognized. I too would be interested to see if anyone else has gotten a USB ODB II reader to work.
[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:
same exact one i picked up the sx the red one lol i got it to finally detect by playing with chainsfire usb host diagnostic app in the play store took me a bit to get it to recognize but now it detects it but no data from ecu like above you said i think is a buad rate that has to be played with im currently trying at 11500 buad rate its not working im going to try 9600 next i read that might work dont remember where i read it though in parrot radio thread some where

odblink sx by scantool what buadrate you have it at?
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
The internal connections in the headunit might be loose. Might have been a coincidence that the button cable came loose at the same time you got the new box.
[Android Head-Units] nrh_racing:
Hi just wanted to share some info, may be in the 1000 pages though.

Bad radio reception with pumpkin android stereo, after playing around with wiring and ending up buying a different antenna for my bmw x5 which was ok reception i had a bright idea that the original bmw antenna would be an amplified one that needs to power up. The stereo adapter wiring didn't use this it came with an antenna adapter booster and reception was very poor.

Solution. Cut the white wire (same for most bmw's) from the original bmw stereo harness and connect to the blue antenna wire on the new stereo loom, if it uses the antenna adaptor booster don't connect that blue wire to anything. This powers original bmw antenna amp and now i have better reception then the original stereo.

For any other make of car get a wiring diagram of stereo wiring and find the antenna amp power wiring and you should be in business.

Sorry if this has been posted but hoping to help someone as i have wasted so much time on this already

So my Newsmy unit is in the mail but I was wondering if the NU3001 can be updated with the firmware from a JOYING unit with the same specs? I like the UI better. Or could I just extract the launcher and apks from the update.img file possibly and dump them on the Newsmy. I've gone through the wiki and know that the MCU is unit specific and can't be used but everything could possibly be compatible?

Here is a link to the JOYING firmware.

[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
No, the joying firmware is a HeiFei variant and not compatible (different hardware, different mcu). You should look at the wiki on the first page to see the roms available for the Newsmy.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
I want to buy an OBD2 connector. Mind I ask why you peeps went for the usb variant instead of the bluetooth?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] daveaus:
Hey all,

In the original post it mentions that the unit only comes in a universal 2 din function but on the wiki it lists a specific model for volkswagen, is that part of the OP out of date?

Can I use "Ok Google" search on this?

Does Google Maps navigation work? Its not listed in the wiki.

I have the OUKU Android 2;3 head unit and I am looking for an upgrade. If I can use "Ok Google Navigate Home" with this unit I am sold.

Thanks

Guys, about device rooting... :)

When I connect Android box to a Win 7 PC it is detected as CarPad-II-P, but it did not find drivers for it.

When I tried to use KingoROOT it said "Please enable USB Debugging mode"

USB debugging mode is ON.

I downloaded Rockusb_Driver_v3.7 and Google universal ADB Driver for Windows and tried to point it as a drivers manually but Windows says no drivers.

What I am doing wrong and how solve the problem? :)
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
"Ok Google" : while I have not done this, some users reported it works.

You're going to need an USB micthough, see wiki: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001#USB_Microphones

:good:

"Google maps Navigation" yes, it works, or you use other navigation applications, I personnaly like Tomtom GO.

:good:
[Android Head-Units] vdubskey:
Thanks, yea I was looking at xdauto but the UI of the JOYING looks nice. That's a bummer. The new JOYING units are using the same quadcore rockchip and same resolution. Thought it would work out. So pulling the launcher and system apps from these units won't be compatible as well? Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Generally faster data packets from USB vs Bluetooth. Also, most Bluetooth adapters draw power while vehicle is off (there are some that can be set to shut down, but not sure of the details).

Username/password for baidu downloads

Sorry if this is a stupid question! I'm trying to download the latest stock ROM from the baidu website link given on the wiki.

However, when I get to the download it's asking me for a username/password before it will start. I've tried to set up an account, but it's refusing to activate the account (perhaps I'm doing something wrong?) What are others doing to get the downloads working from baidu?
[Android Head-Units] ChrisK-WA:
Also the more gauges you use (more you monitor) the slower the data refresh rate. So I wanted the option with the most bandwidth.
[Android Head-Units] oswaldocostaneto:
ok, you're right. but, if i wanto to pass the signal into aftermarket amplifier, how can i do it? i ask for the skype newsmy and the answers are very confused.

Thanks for posting those pictures!

I am thinking of adding an external antenna like the item 361191620100 on eBay:

" SMA 2.4GHz 7 dBi Wireless Wifi WLAN 5 X Range Booster Antenna Extender + Base "

that I could mount on the dash or on the roof.

Where would it be safer to solder that antenna to?: directly on the motherboard, or cut the existing wire and splice/solder into the wire?

Anybody else has added an external antenna to that box? I could not find any info...

Thanks,
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
No not mine, found it on a Russian site, if you look in the Nissan folder there is a 1.2.3 in there but probably has a Nissan loading screen or some other mod.
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Downloaded and extracted their firmware. Installed launcher and a few other apps.

Launcher works, but you'll need to adjust the DPI. Though the build.prop says it uses 240 DPI, it looks very small. I needed to adjust it to 280 to get it right. (it ignores any font size settings) . Also, it's stationary widget only interacts with the default media players.

The Joying's Settings page is more suited for this kind of device. It's single pane instead of two. Many settings do start, but don't work (equalizer, etc) because of the different dependencies.

The radio app doesn't not work off course (totally different MCU) and other apps are somewhat rudimentary (music, explorer).

It does have some nice features though, like camera recording, bootanim changer, RDS support.....

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

It's at 160 DPI. Either Newsmy is using 160 DPI as their default or it's a user mod

did anyone have problems with iphone connections to head unit through bluetooth? how to solve? thanks
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
Yes, technically you could pull the launcher from that rom and put it in xdauto, but most of the system apps are specific to the MCU of the Joyous unit. Personally I found the usability of most launchers on the HeiFei variants quite lacking (several things didn't scroll/move as they should) and the radio widgets won't work with the Newsmy because of the difference of MCUs. I don't know what DPI that launcher is designed for, so you may run in to display layout issues there as well.
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
I got the dropbox version (probably adapted). If that's the original, not much has changed since 1.2.2.

MCU 4.0

160 DPI (at least that version)

GUI is semi-immersive (transparent statusbar, no navbar), not adjustable

Some big widgets on the main screen, which only interact with default apps (can't fully understand green one though)

Is there a way to configure Key-Editor to have both short and long SWC press?

Also, I don't know if this will help anyone, but I only managed to get "Mode" SWC button to work after connecting both the KEY1 and KEY2 wires, without KEY-GND. (Toyota 2008)

I suggest that the picture of Wire1 removed/replaced from the wiki, it's incorrect and makes no sense.

Does anyone have a "Metra TYTO-01" interface installed?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I had some time to play around with the dead android box that [MENTION=4036493]kwalsh24[/MENTION] sent me. I couldn't get the emmc/nand shorted so it forced it into MASKROM boot mode initially, at least until I ended up frying the chip completely. So since it was dead I popped it off and removed all the solder.

Since I had nothing to lose at this point I ended up poking around and found the RK3188 serial console pins. Should have been obvious looking at the board, there is an outline of where the connector would be. Looking at the bottom of the android board (with the USB ports on the left) to the right of where the RK3188 is there is a test point marked T14 and 3 pads right next to it. The top pad is ground, middle is TX, and bottom is RX. So you can hook a 115200 serial line up to the TX and see the boot info.

Wish I had discovered this before frying the chip as it would be interesting to see what it displayed.

For reference here is the beginning of the output of a normal bootup:

RK310B<D2>DDR Version 1.04 20140217

With the chip removed I'm able to get the device to start booting up off a SDcard, though it would take more work to get everything properly setup.

Amazingly I discovered that if I put the properly formatted SDcard into a working android box it actually will boot off of that instead of the NAND. So even if the bootloader on the nand gets completely hosed up someone should be able to recover their box.

Sorry that [MENTION=4036493]kwalsh24[/MENTION] had to be the one to get this ball rolling though. Maybe some people can throw him some donations to help pay for the replacement box.

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Unfortunately not right now. It's something I'd like to work on when I have a chance. It will be more work than just modifying the Key-Editor to support it though. I created a github issue for this feature request here: https://github.com/Nu3001/xdAuto/issues/3
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Meh least I was somewhat helpful. Now if only my new box would work right with my hu. Will tear that apart and see what's up
[Android Head-Units] MrFr1day:
I see, well It seems that Android knows when an SWC key is long pressed ... perhaps if keys can be assigned to custom app (is this possible now?) it will be much better/smarter than just the ability to handle a long press, perform different tasks based on current apps/state.
