Ok, just did the restore function on the 1.1x update using RKBatchTool.

Plugged my device back in and it was wiped. Everything was back to Chinese language. Put all the settings back and re-downloaded SuperSU from the play store.

Once installed it asked me to update the SuperSU Binary as before. I selected "Normal" method since we don't have CWM/TWRP on the device (yet). The installation failed, again.

Plugged the "brain" back into the PC and launched KingoROOT app. KingoROOT app detects device as Rooted. Ran the ROOT procedure again. Plugged device back in. SuperSU asked to update the Binary, selected Normal method and...... installation failed again.

So, what now?
[Android Head-Units] coyttl:
Those are the same settings that are in most Android builds - the three options are -

Device & WLAN - Location is derived from GPS satellites & referenced against Google's database of WLAN locations

Device - Location is derived from only GPS satellites

WLAN - Location is only derived from Google's WLAN location database.

I recommend using 'Device' or 'Device & LAN', as a couple app I've played with will report no GPS signal if you are on the 'WLAN' only setting.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You should probably use KingoRoot BEFORE installing superSU. the existence of SuperSU might be confusing things.

Yes, except if you read his post, he's not able to select from any of those.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Do you suggest restoring again or just removing SuperSU app and trying to ROOT again?

After the restore back to "stock" 1.1x, I had plugged the unit into KingoROOT and it said that the device was already Rooted (before I installed SuperSU). Then I installed SuperSU and the install failed, that's when I went back and tried to "re-root" using Kingo and the SuperSU binary still failed after that.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Had that problem too..

First, try to remove SuperSU. Do this in the Play Store. After uninstall, it will say that it is still installed but an update is available. DO NOT update yet.

Now run the binary update and reboot. After completion you can update SuperSU in the Play Store.

Hi, just got my mini hdmi connector today and was hoping to plug the android box into my tv. I have an old archos tablet power supply which outputs 5V @ 2A with the right size connector which I'm using. However it won't power up after pressing the power button. Before trying it I just disconnected it from the firewire connector when it was in the car and the green light on it was still lit as I'd just got home.

Is there anything special I need to do to power it up or is it likely to be the psu?

Edit 1: Just tried a car cigarette lighter universal power supply and I managed to get it to power on but at 9V not 5V. Now to find a better PSU and keyboard / mouse that will work.

Edit 2 : Just found on page 58 someone confirming it needs to be a 12V adapter at least 1A.

Edit 3 : And it on the Wiki ! Doh
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Do I have to start from "scratch" since I attempted to update the binary? Or, can I just remove SuperSU update and re-attempt to install the binary?
[Android Head-Units] renedis:

I bought my unit is specifically for Volkswagen use and everything is plug and play. I am asking here because I assume that the android box should be universal.

GPS Chip Issue

I'm really having trouble getting my GPS to work. And my seller is asking me to send the Android box back to them for testing (I did not buy from Summer)

Can someone here help me verify the following:

1. Anyone knows whether the GPS chip is on the HU or inside the Android box?

2. If the GPS is inside the Android box, anyone can verify that when disconnected from HU and plug in to a monitor through HDMI, can you select your location mode in settings or the location mode is "Off"?

By finding out the above, I could whether its my HU that is having problem or my Android box.

Thank you for replies.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
I think in my NU3001 the GPS is in the HU and not the android box. Because when I connect the android box to my tv (and android box is placed by the window) I never get a GPS signal.

Edit:

https://1d5c1390da18fe8be0f59839c75...Y33P9UWl5cEsxZ21HSVk/internals/IMG_0463_x.jpg

definitely in the HU and not in the android box.

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

Updated the wiki with some facts about the amp and its outputs..

Outputs: (Some units state 4x25W/28W/50W, this may or may not be true)

RMS output at 14.4V THD 10%:

4x28W @ 4Ω

4x48W @ 2Ω

RMS output at 14.4V THD 1%:

4x22W @ 4Ω

4x38W @ 2Ω

Max output at 14.4V:

4x45W @ 4Ω

4x75W @ 2Ω

Additional Outputs: 1x RCA low level output. The output has been tapped of the front channel of the high level output of the build in amplifer.

low level output = a output of music that has NO influence of an amplifier

high level output = a output of music that has been modified of power with a amplifier

sub level output = a output of music that goes no higher then 100 hz with NO influence of an amplifier

There is no dedicated sub-out so you will need a crossover to filter the sound. There is a possibility that there are pre-outs for the rear as well.

sorry I can't help with your gps issue. I noticed in your photo that you have a camera icon in the navbar. How did you add that icon there and which camera does it go to?
[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:
I've also been having GPS issue although I think mine may be more software related am trying to narrow it down.My issue is when the unit first powers up I can't get a GPS signal for nothing the after almost 10 minutes then I get a lock with good accuracy it survives a reboot but not from an over night hardboot
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I've also had it take a while to get a lock from cold boot but my antenna is currently loose on the dashboard under a ford screen with the heated elements in which I thought could be blocking it. Will probably do some more testing in the future.
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
My gps also takes a while to lock on cold boot. The antenna is also in the dash stuck(magnet) to the headunit.
[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:
Yeah mine is behind the unit magnetized to a metal bar behind the unit .maybe its a the magnet mount causing an issue
[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:
That's what I figured it was in the software side i have tried those apps too including adding the GPS.conf with no luck I'm going to format and start from scratch to see if its a ROM issue it was working fine before on amplified straight from boot

Edit: In no form am I blaming the ROM
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
And where you able to test with internet connection? If so, you should get within 5/15 sec a good GPS location.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Just to chime in on the GPS talk, I have my GPS antenna placed right on my dash near where the Registration/Inspection stickers are placed on the windshield. In other words, clear LOS to the sky.

I haven't once had any issue re-acquiring a GPS signal from a cold boot on my device. I leave my car in an airport parking garage for 3+ days at a time, as soon as I exit the garage, I have GPS lock - using WAZE or Google Maps.

My unit is also "hotspot" connection to my cell.

That's the same place I have it on my current AN21-U unit and where I plan on it being when my NU3001 unit arrives , switching over to the dark side :D

Does anyone have this installed in the car yet? I received mine on Tuesday, but I have't had any time to mess with it. It was packed very well and arrived at my house in rural Missouri in just 5 days from the time it was shipped in China (I find that amazing). Nothing is broken and it looks very nice. I am actually having some trouble finding the correct adapter harness for my car (Ford Escape Hybrid).

I do plan to use the aux-out cables for the factory subwoofer. My only concern is whether I will still get the full high power signal to the speakers or will the use of the aux-out mute the amps in the head unit.

By the way, I ordered it straight from Anna at Newsmy and paid $400.50 total.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
I have not ordered one yet,

Still debating.. I have a tablet already in the car (although there are some cosmetic issues I don't like)

I have an AppRadio 2 with Android stick, which might work well too, but I have to think this is a better solution.. I will wait to hear of a couple more installs

Also do you have contact info for anna?
[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
anna@newsmy-car.com

She was very good to communicate with. Can't offer any evaluation of service beyond initial purchase.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Does that mean that you did not go through aliexpress, but you did it in aliexpress messaging and sent her money through paypal to their account? The reason I'm asking is because Summer is giving me the option of paying through Paypal, but it is like I'm sending her money directly skipping aliexpress all together. I'm unsure if that is a safe route? What if I never get anything? What if the parts are defective, will I get any protection from aliexpress?

I thought about going the appradio route too, but unsure if the connection is stable and how well it works.

They all seems to reply back in english pretty well.

I used the App radio in 2013.. It was with ARLiberator and my RAZR MAXX.. over the winter I wanted to switch to a stick, but the interface was still new (ARU) now there is another new version (ARUr) which I have been using with my current stick. the current stick tends to reboot every 15 minutes and i have heard of many that have great luck with a mk809iii so I have one coming to try..

Meanwhile I installed a nexus 7 as my system this year, my only issue with that is the battery of the tablet. I had a battery swell on me on my phone so I am not so comfortable with it in there. I am using USB ROM with the Tablet.. works great but my cosmetic install issues are making think of other options. This unit seems like a good option but since I have the tablet and the app radio, I am leaning towards one of those.. need to wait for the other stick, test it out and then decide what to do.. I do know the NU3001 and the app radio should fit in the dash without major changes like I had to do for the tablet
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Yes it work fine in a Peugeot Ion (clone of mitsubishi imiev).

As long as I use only front speakers and I can use BT tethering, and my dev for this car is really operating OK, it is perfect for my (and my wife) uses....

In my opinion, this HU has a lot of potential, but, yet, the software to manage the MCU is not mature.

I have not tried the AVIN, (and I will not use them), but the backcam is OK.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Only front speakers? hmm I saw you mention something like this before, but thought it was resolved. So you cannot get sound to your rear speakers or does that cause problems? Surprisingly, they have a lot of other head units that are doing the same concept, strange they have not learn from the other.
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Please do not take shortcuts:

There are no rear loudspeakers in the car where this HU is..

I am not planning to install rear loudspeakers.

So I have not tested and cannot speak about this

But do not forget there is no fader today (front/rear) in the MCU
[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:
It was working fine before I dont think its a placement issue just started giving problems since last week I've had the unit for close to a month now before that on stock was fine then amplified was good too the location of the GPS hasn't changed since install

[Android Head-Units] typos1:
I think your problem is with SuperSU, the "SU binary needs to be updated" error is common for this app on any device, either email the developer (he is well known on XDA) or try another root app (like Superuser), I suspect your unit is still rooted.

i am currently looking for a new HU to replace my HuiFei universal HU. It was probably disscused before but i still would like to ask that.

Update on my SuperSU problems

Thanks to some helpful insight from renedis, I am now at this stage of my problem:

Using RKBatchTool and restoring ver 1.1.x - in effect - wiping the device and starting from scratch.

Running Kingo Root App on the device

Start Device

Change Language from Chinese to English

Prompt shows up to update the SuperSU Binary, SuperSU binary is successfully applied

Reboot Device

Install Xposed Framework - ROOT access granted - Successful install!

Install Busybox App from Play Store. BusyBox asks for ROOT access and is granted.

Attempt to install BusyBox "code" from the App - Install FAIL!

Now I am thinking that the BusyBox install fails on the device because the device currently has the "old" SuperSU app / Binary on the device and BusyBox is looking for the "updated" SuperSU binary?

Any attempt to update the SuperSU app from the most current version on the Play Store, fails if I attempt to update the Binary on that version. It's at that point where I have to wipe the device and start from scratch.

renedis and I are out of ideas now at this point. I have wiped and flashed and re-wiped and re-flashed this unit more times then I care to count.

Does ANYONE have ANY idea as to what the %!#!!^ is going on???? :(

Guys,

So what's the best solution for the play/pause issue when screen turns on/off? I'm hearing SMOL isn't working on apps like Poweramp and N7 Player, others are using Tasker (this is paid though), one suggested editing the build.prop file to see if it works, anything new? Just trying to see what everyone is using and what works best.

Summer did create a FB group. Maybe we should start an official and prioritized feature requests/bug fixes list on the wiki and post it in the FB group? I can start this as soon as I get my unit and start testing. This seems like a Prio0 fix, for the unit to work like a car stereo and not a phone.

I was almost resigned to send my android box back to China for them to check the unit until I realised I haven't try doing a factory reset.

Since I am gonna send the unit back so I just jump into my car and did a factory reset in the settings app.

After reset, immediately go into settings app to check the location service and I CAN CHOOSE THE MODE!!!

It is working perfectly now.

As I suggested couple of days before Request/bug list could be fine to us. Question is - will Newsmy take it in account? This is a task for Summer :)

About your suggestion to power off Android box immediately, I can't agree, if only it would be as an option. There is a valid reason why Android box do not switches off immediately.

More important function we need is to

stop

all media by Power off.
