So far newsmy has lasted the cold winter in Canada and it doing great in this heat wave. I guess we can say it's not fragile.

I have two running in Canada and I can say the same. No temperature related issues.
[Android Head-Units] slicky803:
Does anyone have a solution to these problems? I have a newly installed NR3001.

1. When my phone is connected to the unit via BT, any noise-causing activity/notification on my phone will cause the radio or whatever is playing through the head unit to pause. This happens even if the volume on my phone is set to silent/vibrate.

2. SWC don't work. According to the shop I took it to to get installed, the signals from the keypresses are going to the unit, but nothing is happening. I've tried mapping the buttons through the app on the head unit, but it doesn't detect the signal.

Thanks!

Guys as we know there is no compass in our headunit which can have a detrimental impact on a number of the GPS navigation applications and often prevents sine apps knowing how to reroute quickly, had looked to find a usb compass with android drivers but seemingly not an easy find.

Interestingly just seen the BBC Micro:bit has usb and compass/accelerometer built into the small circuit board for about GBP 10 (15usd) would any one like to hazard a guess about how hard it would be to connect it into the Newsmys OTG port and access the digital compass as though it was a built in android function ?

Tips to have continuos sound also with notifications from phone

When my phone is connected to my NR3001 via bluetooth and i receive a notification or i unlock and lock my phone, i can hear the sound in my car speakers and music interrupt.

So i found the solution:

SoundAbout

Change like in screenshot Media audio: Speaker

Now you can receive all notification without interrupt your music, and you can hear from your phone speakers.

The next step is Install Join to have mirror link of our notification to see these in the radio.

Add in wiki in you want.

I wait instead is someone or [MENTION=1802543]zanix[/MENTION] can know how to have in status bar or widgets ( i prefer both) the name of the carrier phone connected via bluetooth, and battery level, segnal level and type or the net (3G, 2G, H, H+, LTE etc)
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
A compass would be nice, although I have no idea what it would take to make a USB compass work.

I'm sorry, I haven't been able to get around to exporting my Tasker tasks and KWGT widgets. I can tell you right now the data sent from the phone does

not

include the net type (3G, 2G, H, H+, LTE etc), however the carrier name is available . The battery and cell signal are only sent in 6 step levels (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%). The type of the bluetooth connection is available as well, kinda. You can detect when bluetooth is connected to the device and when bluetooth audio is being sent.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
about type of data, 3g 2g etc i guess that is possible but not with this intent, need workaround to find a solution.

thanks zanix, when you can, also some pics about widgets and tasker should be ok, but no worry, i know, all we are very busy, so i can wait ;)

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to check in on this again. Anyone happen to have any ideas on this?

Thanks,

[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Looks like a problem specific to the S7. I know I'm stating the obvious, but it's possible there is something with the bluetooth stack on it that might cause it not to connect. I have no idea what can be done about it though, sorry.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
sometimes for me, there is a bug or issue, i don't know how to classified, but anyway when i have connected my phone via bluetooth and i tried to make a call, there is a message:

The HFP is disconnect.

If i try to disconnect bluetooth from the phone and reconnect, works again.
[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
Thanks. I actually somehow solved this yesterday. I left my phone bluetooth scanning over and over all day while I was in the car, and at one point, randomly, I saw BTHFD pop up.(I have no idea what change might have cause it) I paired it quickly, and it took . . . It seems to be working now. I have no idea why the S7 had such a hard time discovering it, though. Very weird.

Hopefully, I don't have to re-pair it anytime soon : )

Thanks for the response.

I haven't had to re-pair my phone yet. However, you may have a problem if you pair another phone to it as you would need to re-pair the first phone.

I just installed a rear camera on my newsmy NR5261, I connected the rca cable (yellow) to "reverse video in".

Problem : in the default app (BackDraft) the colors are weird :

but if I connect the camera to "aux in video", the colors are good (in the auxin video app).

Any ideas ?

Hi there,

I just bought a NR5261 for my VW Scirocco and it works properly but I have some questions that I'd like to know if anyone could help :o

1- when I turn off the ignition of my car, head unit doesn't turn off until I open any door of my car. This behavior is normal?

2- when I push the power button, it goes to StandBy (this is normal I think) but if I keep pushing he button and I choose turn off, head unit restarts ???:silly: why it doesn't turn off?

3- I have mcu 53 and last stock version (1.39 I think) and today when I turned on my car it went to recovery mode of this is what I think because it was with the screen like this:

http: //fs01.androidpit. info/userfiles/6671128/image/uploadedImage1407085882326.jpg

Why it occurred? After 5 min it restarted and went well ....

Sorry if my English is hard but I'm from other country.

Cheers !!!
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I'm not sure if the VW versions do this normally, but I have the NU3001 and it turns off a couple seconds after turning off the ignition. Check to see if this is the same on yours.

This normal behavior, even if it is annoying.

No idea on this one, sorry

NR5261 Bricked

I have a NR5261, which I seem to have bricked. I installed xda auto through the USB male-to-male cable from the RK batch tool and things went well. I tried to install Malaysk rom in the same way by flashing the img file and now the device does not start. I am not able to get onto boot loader mode to reflash xda auto or stock.

NR5261 has a sd card slot and a res button, I tried pushing the res button and then connecting power, hoping that this would get it into boot loader mode (like the carpad 2), but was to no avail.

Can anyone help with a hardware key combo to get into boot loader or any other ideas?

I read that we can short the ADKEY_IN and GND on the board and force it into boot loader mode, but I have no clue on how to remove and refit the heatsink or for that matter how to short! Any pointers would help salvage what now seems a very expensive paperweight! :(
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I think five fingers (or touch points) on the screen while it boots gets it into the bootloader.

Also, it has an SD card slot? I didn't think any of the NR series had one.

Edit: Yup, sure enough some models do have one.
[Android Head-Units] sriram_1983:
Tried the five fingers thing, It didn't work. I think it works only if I get to the bootlogo, which I do not get.

Hi there,

How works KeyEditor?

I've installed Sygic in my NR5261 and when I go to KeyEditor and set "Navi" to any button, it doen't work :confused:. I press this button and nothing happen. Do I need to configure another app for choose Sygic in a button?

Also if I select a button in "Music" it works and I always it ask to me which App I want to open (Radio or Apollo). If I select Apolo and below in the corner "allow always", next time this still asking to me which App I want to open :silly:c (it doesn't save "allow always").

However, "Radio", "Home", "Volume", etc... (on KeyEditor) works properly in any button.

Thanks in advance :good:

Hi Totoix,

Thanks for your replay. It works for me :fingers-crossed:

But now, I'm looking for the same app but for Poweramp. If I push "music" in "keyEditor" only I can chooice "Apollo" or "Radio" :silly:

Regards
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
You need a "helper" apk for Poweramp. You should download it from http://www.stats.aokp.co/?developer=zaphod&folder=nu3001 and install. Clearr all Apollo and Radio cache and app defaults. And then push music again. It should appear in the list i think.
[Android Head-Units] isthisadagger:
Yes that is normal for both the NR and NU VW Versions.
[Android Head-Units] chivigoku:
Hi Totoix,

When I go home I will try it :D

However, few days ago when I pushed "Music" and have selected "Apollo", right on the corner I could push "Allow always" for each time I push this button, it goes to open Apollo and doesn't ask which app I want to open again. Well, It doesn't work :silly:. I push the button and it still asks me which app I want to open ....

Hope with PowerAmpHelper it resolves my issue.

Thanks again mate ;)

Also, I've been trying to find out some more info regarding the installation process just to make things a bit easier. Anyway, in case you haven't seen this yet, there is an installation threat on 300c Forums: http://www.300cforums.com/forums/ca...ler-300c-pac-interface-factory-amplifier.html

I tried to contact this guy but he haven't responded anything.
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
Thanks! This install was 10months ago but I'll try to explain with the limited photos I took.

Unscrew the 2din case of the NU5002 to remove the back panel, and side panels. To only have the bottom panel holding the motherboard and top panel. Screen is connected by short ribbons to the motherboard so the position of the screen is limited to the front with some height adjustability.

I used a thin aluminium sheet that can be cut easily with tin sips. Cut it to the height of a 1din and cut holes for the ports at the back. I drilled holes on the sheet to line up with the existing screws on the screen, top and bottom panels so it would screw in securely. Slide in the 1din fascia trim from the back and screwed it in.

Hi Totoix,

How to use bluetooth with smartlock

Does anyone know if there is a possibility to use the bluetooth (BTHFD) to make it recognize for some kind of smartlock?

I have tried several smartlock's but they all don't recognize when a phone makes a connection.

We had the car in the shop lately and forgot to pull out the unit which means anybody with access to the car could see our e-mail and contacts. This was not a desired thought.

I would like to lock the screen and unlock it when there is a connection with the phone. Any ideas?

If someone knows a better simpler way to automatic lock the device when we're not in the car; please, do tell.

With kind regards,

boschie

I really don't know why. May be you can clear other application defaults and try again. There are default app managers in app store. You can also try them to manage.

This is my third Android unit, and installing xdauto or rooted versions of the stock ROM didn't help. I even thought there's a defect in my unit. But I'm guessing it's a poorly optimized unit with a badly designed software platform

Even the display in the newsmy sucks Donkey balls.

Hi there,

I have a question about connect a phone via USB.

When I connect any phone (iPhone, Samsung, whatever) via USB OTG, it opens Galery App, why?

What I want is only charge my phone ....

thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
Because it is an OTG cable, and your phone is mounting as a USB mass storage device. Similar to the way a PC will detect your phone being plugged in as a removable storage device. An android phone should have a notification alerting you that this is taking place, and if you click the notification it should give you the option to mount as removable storage. There should be an option "charge only"

Hi ElfinJNoty,

Thanks for your quick reply.

iOS works different...

Black screen on Newsmy Carpad when i turn on the car

Hello to all the wonderful people of this forum !!

I am a happy owner of the NR3001, I really think it is the best device on the market today.

I only have one annoying problem: Sometimes, when I turn on my car, the Newsmy Carpad remains with black screen until i touch the screen.

Other times when I turn on the car, the device displays the image immediately.

I use the Stock firmware n. 1.4.0 and I tried the MCU V53 and V54.

Any of you have this problem ?? how do I fix ??

I'll go with that. I have to admit that one of the things that initially excited me about this unit was the fact that it is basically vanilla android. I've always been a less is more kinda guy. How about you work aokp, I'll work Amplified and we can share on the bonovo apps and kernel. Sound like a plan?

Additionally, I have put required changes on my github to get things working. You'll want to grab 'kernel' for building that and 'rockdev' for building a flashable image. They both presuppose you are overlaying into an unaltered kk4.4.2-rk directory tree.

I changed the way I setup the kernel this time and used exports instead but verified that it works. Had to remake all my scripts in rockdev to build a working update.img but that tests good here too. Have at!
