Which usb female is for adb connection?

Hello,

In NR5002 series, which usb female is used for ADB connection? There are two usb female inputs. One is blue and the other is black.

Guys, does anyone know if NewsMy is planning/developing a new unit? I emailed Summer asking if there is anything new on the horizon but no response.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Well, I hope Anna @ NewsMy is wrong because if she's right this doesnt seem much like an improvement.

Dear Steve,

I just asked my colleague summer, she said you bought from her before, you can contact her later about the car pad 4. Because you are her customer, we cant contact the same customer. Sorry about it.

And for your questions about car pad 4:

Will a universal model be available that is larger than 8” For example a 10”?

--Will have larger screen universal model.

Will it support RDS? The 2S and 3 never did, I believe there was a software problem preventing it from working.

--Not sure about the RDS now, will need to see the engineers design later.

Will it have Dual Bluetooth like the 2S and 3?

--Seems still dual bluetooth

Will it have a MicroSD slot? All 2S did, but none of the universal 3 had it.

---Seems will have SD card slot, actually, car pad 3 is depends on the model, some have SD card slot, some dont have.

How big will the memory be? 32GB?

--Seems it will be 16GB.

How bit will the RAM be? 2GB?

--Seems it will be 1GB RAM

Will it still be 4 Core RockChip Processor like 2S and 3 or something newer and faster like Intel CPU?

--Seems still 4 core.

Guys, are there any other suppliers of the NR Series 5.1 RCA harness besides Exclusive Car Auto? Their price on the NR5002 is much more expensive than buying the NR5002 from NewsMy direct on AliExpress because ECA charges in Euro and Ali charges in USD, however, I don't see the 5.1 adaptor on the AliExpress store, and ECA won't sell the adaptor separately from the NR5002.

It was a test, I could revert to stock keeping reset hole pressed and plugging the USB cable, this switches the android box into bootloader mode and you can flash with the standard tool.

Hi there.

Well I've just realized my 1st ROM, it's based on 4.4 stock from newsmy.

I tried that Lollipop, it failed but I could revert to stock putting the box in download mode with the reset hole.

Any Lollipop ROMs for this device?

I'd love to get one and try to improve it.

Thanks!

It's taken me a while to read through all the 90 or so pages but I still haven't come across anyone addressing this question, so can anyone confirm the following for me please

1.Are the capacitive buttons on the left hand side, multi colour LED illuminated, i.e. can you make them red instead of white? There was mention of this functionality on the exclusivecarauto website, but no one here has mentioned it as an available feature.​

2. If using an Android navigation app such as Sygic or Waze whilst listening to the radio, does the system attenuate (reduce the volume) of the radio playback when giving the direction command?​

Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
Does anyone faced with the problem that hands-free calling has much much lower speaker volume than radio for multimedia playback?

Another thing - if phone is locked (screen lock), you are not able to make a call from unit in spite that bluetooth is connected.

1. Didn't find any settings to modify color of "buttons". They are white and too !! bright at night.

2. Confirm that Waze do reduce the wolume of music playback (didn't check with radio yet) when giving commands.
[Android Head-Units] NU5002S:
Check the MCU program, I thought I saw someone adjusting the colors by using the MCU program. I could be mistaken.
[Android Head-Units] vortexring:
It would be interesting to confirm whether there is the ability to change the back light colour for the left hand buttons. It will help make it look even more integrated into the car.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
That is why I've muted Waze. The notification volume for traffic reports are just as loud as whatever you are listening to at the moment.

The visual aids that pop up are good enough to draw my attention to the unit.

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

The radio is the loudest thing on the unit. Much more then anything else you're listening to.

I've noticed on my unit, on incoming calls, the unit doesn't notify me. If I'm not looking at my phone, the radio/mp3 etc will keep playing.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
I muted all Waze sounds except warnings. I just didn't liked that music is "waving" all the time when driving in city traffic.

Strange. My radio volume seems almost same as other media.

Haven't received any call yet by this device. :) Will try it out. But it is already obvious that calling function of this device are far from desired:

- impossible calling from address book (not talking about Google+)

- Can make call only from dialer by dialing number (not showing any information about this number from address book)

- can make a call from Direct call widget, but again - not showing any person info (picture, name etc.)
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
You can adjust the volume for the radio:

you select the icon under FM/AM and you move the slider (by default, it is 100, for me 60 is the right position).
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I cant see any site where is say colour can be changed.

Double checked exclusivecaraudio and newsmy site and only mention is white led
[Android Head-Units] vortexring:
If you scroll down on the exclusivecarauto all the way to the bottom of the units description and other info, you will see a section chinglishly named "Advantage Analyse". Listed as one of the "Advantages" of this unit compaired to other units is "Background LED Colour" and it says "RGB adjusted to be any colour" whereas the competitor unit it says "Single Colour"

I took this to be a reference to the button backlighting colour, in that the unit uses an RGB LED therefore allowing the user to choose a colour to match their vehicle illumination.

I do "get" how everyone is very enthused about how vanilla this unit is, but I'm starting to think it is too vanilla, in that it's just an android tablet, with a few half baked automotive solutions thrown in for good measure. Many have commented on the poor radio and it's unfriendly functionality and a few other quirks, and many have also commented on the hands-free phone functionality not being up to par also. For me these are 2 pieces of functionality that are essential in an automotive product. The whole point of installing a device such as this is for these features alone, when I'm driving I don't care that I can use Android for playing videos, or games, but what I do want is for my hands-free to work properly and the interaction of the radio and other Android apps such as navigation to be seamless.

Does anyone think this might be OK for a USB microphone?

Go to ebay (UK site) and search for item 281484190183

Sorry can't post links yet, haven't done enough posts!

It's nice and small and could easily be integrated into a car environment.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Yes it does. I was in a long email discussion with Exclusivecarauto.com for EU buyers and they said that it is possible. Also, they are offering the NU3001 unit with 2GB of RAM. You have to pay 20 Euros extra.

http://exclusivecarauto.com/android-quadcore-carpad-wifi-p-1001.html

So, for anyone who is buying from Aliexpress, I would ask Summer or whoever is the seller if they can sell you the NU3001 unit with the 2GB of RAM Android box and how much extra will they charge.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I think the background light is related to the main screen, that is rgb color matrix

I just notices that in exclusivecarauto, now can order the android box with 2gb of ram for 20€ more
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
The reply that I got from exclusivecarauto.com was that for now only the hybrid Android/WinCE units allow changing of the button color, while the Pure android are white.

Some new information about the CarPad 4 got posted on the NewsMy website today, but I can't read Chinese and most of the text is embedded in images so I can't translate the page. From what is written in partial English, it looks like it has the same Cortex A9 and 1024x600 display, Mali 400 GPU, SIM Card Slot and Lollipop, but only 16GB NAND and 1GB RAM which is a downgrade from the CarPad 3.

Down further it refers to an MT8735W processor.

Does anyone know how to remove all of the paired phone history on the nu3001? I recently moved the head unit from my car to the wife's car and every time I'm in her car now, the head unit keeps trying to re-pair with my phone. I've already paired the nu3001 with hers and it shows "Linked" so I don't see why it continues to try to re-pair with mine when I've deleted the pairing on my phone. I can't seem to find where this is managed, I'm guessing it's in the MCU somewhere but there doesn't appear to be any way to clear the history.

[Android Head-Units] usafle:
As much as I love you guys (and dislike Newsmy for not giving our awesome developers the source code to allow them to further developement on the H/U) as soon as THIS comes out for purchase, I'm jumping ship and buying one.

There are simply too many issues going on with the H/U. It's been a great ride and I sincerely congratulate and thank everyone for their hard work here.

It's a damn shame Newsmy is being so stubborn. This device, when released was damn near perfect. But now we are X amount of Android upgrades behind. Still no RDS solution (again, Newsmy's fault). They released an "upgraded" version of the H/U, charged more for it, still with the same hardware basically, only adding 5.1 audio out. I wanted to upgrade to that unit but again, looking at Newsmy's stubborness, why support the company that won't support us.

Ok, I'm done ranting now. I haven't been here in a while and decided to come back just to complain. lol
[Android Head-Units] Stormbringer!:
I would NEVER support them again. hope the company goes under, like how they expect my nu3001 to do so.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Agreed. Except I'm not buying another device. My Newsmy android box has become unstable, so my factory radio/nav is installed at the moment. Collecting parts for a DIY rig with a Snapdragon 805 SBC and a 10.1 " 1080P touchscreen :)
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
SONY = Soon. Only, Not Yet.
[Android Head-Units] VBlack:
I'd personally prefer Snapdragon 820. 805 is a bit outdated already, and 820 is way more powerful. You could get 820 dev board from qualcomm ( https://www.intrinsyc.com/snapdragon-embedded-development-kits/snapdragon-820-development-kit/ ) , and do whatever you want :)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Having an 820 would certainly be nice. I looked at the board you referenced.

While cost is not a huge consideration in this project, I do have some limits. over $500.00 for just the processing board is a little steep :) I also think the size of that particular board would be problematic.

I did a little research on the benchmark scores of the SD805 vs the RK3188. The Snapdragon scores around double the rk3188. I know that benchmarks don't tell the whole story, but I decided for me, the SD805 should be plenty powerful for a media/nav unit. Also concerned a little bit about heat/thermal issues. Hoping the 805 stays a little cooler than then 820.

So I ended up ordering this:

http://www.inforcecomputing.com/pro.../qualcomm-snapdragon-805-inforce-6540-sbc-108

They also have a snapdragon 610 based version, but I felt the extra ram in the 805 would be a better fit. About the same size as my Raspberry PI 3, but like 7 times the cost :(
[Android Head-Units] VBlack:
820 Has brand new core, so we does not suffer from heat issues here, unlike 810...
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Well maybe you can start manufacturing them and selling them to us once you get your $hit together. But knowing first hand how bad you code, I'd hate to see your hardware construction skills..... ;)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
True. Fortunately, This will be a pretty modular build, so swapping out the SBC later shouldn't be a big deal. Kind of like how the NU series *SHOULD* have worked :)

3 edits and still can't get meme to show. Guess your comment about my coding skills is accurate after all.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
LOL. In your defense, it did show up when I viewed it on the XDA Dev Mobile app but doesn't show here on a desktop.
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
I wish I could easily move away from this unit, but after having it sit in my closet for a year nothing has really come out that will fit my needs physically. In my car the nav screen is just that... a screen. There is no space behind it so these units allow me to modify it enough to make it fit. I was hoping the Parrot RBN6 would be released and after a year they sold it to OEM's. If I could code I might go the Zaphod-Beeblebrox route but unfortunately I have to work with what is out there.

Would be nice if Vblack was actually be able to get a 6.0 version working though.
[Android Head-Units] Orisai:
This Newsmy unit is the only one I've seen that has an userbase so good that they even developed a custom ROM for it. Yet, the original manufacturer refuses to release the source code for the MCU or it's apps so we can improve it.

So, i've decided to go a truly expensive, but more satisfying way, and order a new headunit built to MY specifications. The e3io Carputer GEN4 PRO, a $1750 car headunit built on top of Intel x86-64 hardware (precisely an i7-4790S, quad core, 8-thread 3.2Ghz processor), 8GB DDR3 1333 RAM, and a Crucial 240GB SSD, all of them user-replaceable/upgradeable.

Yes, that's a lot for a car headunit, but guess what? Having no more long boot times, no more freezes, no more hiccups, and having a true multi-monitor experience for the years to come, very well worth the price.

The only caveat, it comes with Windows 10, which is not an OS meant to be run in a device like a car stereo. But, it's not a problem to me as I can install Remix OS for PC on my new headunit, then the required apps to get CarPC JoyCon EXR (SWC and the headunit's hard buttons) and the USB GPS module working.

Next step is to replace Remix OS' default desktop-oriented launcher with Nova and set it the way I already have on my Newsmy headunit.

Hey guys!

I'll even throw in the wall adapter that I assembled myself for this unit. It's currently running on one of the latest firmware versions, but since I'm going to have to do a factory reset I don't mind installing any other firmware version / xdAuto for you before shipping it out.

I'm based in the Netherlands (shipping within EU zone will be cheap) -- send me a personal message if you're interested.

Anyone have an intermittent "stutter" or gap while listing to MP3's?
[Android Head-Units] janla:
Yes, especially during first minutes after boot. After some time stutter is less frequent and annoying.

Initially i blamed my SD-card to be too slow, but replacement to class 10 SD did not helped. Next, I tried to set the player priority higher (Poweramp tweak) but the problem still persists.

Anyway if you use Poweramp, try this first:
