[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvtm:
Hi guys,

My beloved 64GB Green S6 Edge that i bought on August started today to randomly reboot several times a day. Sometimes in an interval of less than 5 minutes between reboots. My S6 Edge is on stock android 5.1.1 G925F and it has never been dropped or experienced this problem before. I don't recall installing any new apps for this to happen, but almost on a daily basis i get apps updates by the Play Store.

I have lots of lots of applications installed of all sorts. From Amiga Commodore Emulators to Nintendo Gamecube, and everything you can think of. Out of the 64GB i have 12GB remaining and they are most of them on apps.

The problem started today in the morning, i wasn't doing anything... just taking a photo on one of my classes. The problem was experienced several times when taking photos really quick out of the photo shortcut in the lockscreen.

Though now today in the night it ... something new happened.... It shut down completely and instead of rebooting it didn't want to restart but was dead. I couldn't turn it on. Until randomly it turned some minutes later.

I have not yet done a soft or hard reset and i am backing up my phone as we speak.

Is this a common issue with the S6 Edge??? What could be happening??? My phone had these applications and emulators installed since a month ago and i never had any issues. I bought it out from Amazon.

What should i try? I think it can be conflicting apps.

Thanks.

Maria

I forgot to mention that the phone gets extremely hot at the upper right hand corner. I just noticed this.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvtm:
it restarted in safe mode, i'm going to try it again.... tomorrow and see if it restarts in safe mode.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zulake:
I'm afraid you have waaaay too many apps on it which never close, causing the phone to overheat as it's never really resting.

I bought a new phone Tesla Smartphone 6.1 (is the same as Ulefone Paris) and i just dont see "Move to SD card" option in Settings>Apps. Even in Storage i set my default write disk to SD card, but even when i install a new app it goes to internal memory. Is there a way i can move apps (such as 9gag, Ashpalt 8, etc..) to sd card? Without beeing rooted. And by the way is using Android 5.1. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for using XDA assist.

I believe that moving apps to the microsd card is a root feature that you can use from xposed modules or from apps on the play store. So you must root your phone in order to move apps to the sd card.

TL;DR Auxillary and bluetooth have much lesser quality than USB. Video links below show stereo head units that support Android USB audio with app control for the best quality connection (Spotify, Pandora, Google Play Music via USB in your car!) These are single DIN head units without AA.

For audiophiles such as myself, auxiliary cables or Bluetooth is unacceptable when connecting to my car audio system. With these methods, the phone acts as the digital to audio converter instead of the head unit thus greatly reducing sound quality on a high end system. With a USB connection, the phone only acts as storage and a music player while the head unit acts as the DCA.

Finding head units that have a compatible USB connection to android devices has been very difficult in the past. I resorted to storing all my music on an old iPod touch to get Spotify working with my car through USB. The new Android Open Accessory 2.0 is changing that.

I have found a few of youtube videos demonstrating Android USB plug and play connection with two different modes:

App control: Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Google Play Music ect. (Yes SPOTIFY!!!)

MTP: browse local music files.

- supports basic functions such as play/pause/next/prev

- should work with android version 4.1+

- beware: some head unit models require a software update which can be installed through usb.

- warning: these videos only show connection to nexus phones, meaning if your phone isn't running google edition AOSP, it could cause problems.

- note: AOA 2.0 is different than the android audio update with lollipop, which was meant to allow connection to a separate external DCA via USB OTG.

There are undoubtedly many other head units that support AOA 2.0, but these have video proof!

I have a Nexus 5x, I just ordered the Pioneer DEH-X3800UI for $75 on Amazon.

Ill have the head unit installed within the next week, and will give an update.

Hello Android USB Audio! Goodbye and good riddance iPod touch!
[Android Auto General] s2g-unit:
I'm hoping somebody has bought one of these headunits & can confirm how well it works.

Does it essentially work like a USB DAC would & all audio including waze, Poweramp youtube all play through the headunit and speakers?

edit: I found the answer, yes ALL audio goes through the headunit. See here:

[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
TL;DR probably All head units with AOA 2.0 support that on the market right now have a clicking/micro pausing problem.

Sorry for a late response, I had to do some research, as explained below.

Now its time for the good, the bad, and the ugly!

The Good: The head unit preformed as promised, it was simple plug and play to rout all audio from the phone to the car speakers, matching Ipod via USB quality. Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud, and even Maps navigation all worked.

The Bad: Every 5-30 seconds there is a quick high pitch clicking sound accompanied by a micro pause of the audio of about a quarter of a second. This clicking only happens with a constant audio stream such as a song, not with something brief such as a Maps navigation direction, nor when the phone is plugged in without any audio being streamed. Sometimes I would get lucky and the audio would be perfect for a couple minutes, once even for a couple songs. But when it does happen, the clicking is quite loud and high pitch and with micro pause it is easily noticeable during a normal song. I had 3 friends come listen to my "new setup" to ask them how it sounds, and all 3 of them noticed it. Unacceptable for an audiophile such as myself, so i did some research and conducted some experiments.

The Ugly: I devised a way to easily notice and keep track of the clicks. I played a low constant tone of a 40hz sine wave at high volume which made the abrupt high pitch clicks very loud (and annoying) in contrast to the low constant tone, and it made the micro pauses very obvious due to the interruption of the bass. With my phone I would hear random clicks every 5-30 seconds. I then tested 5 different android phones with various ROMs and about 10 different usb cords and many combinations of them. Clicking was reliably random. I changed kernel settings on some of the phones to see if the cpu performance was effecting it. I tried various apps such as sound about and the pioneer music app. Nothing changed.

I then went to an electronics store that had 8 head units available in store that supported Android Open Accessory 2.0. all hooked up for listening and ready for testing. There were 3 Pioneers, 2 JVC's, and 3 Kenwoods. ALL of them had the clicking problem. The Pioneers were the worst: the most frequent and loud clicks, followed closely behind by the JVC's. The Kenwoods, had clicks every 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and were about 40% less loud. I suspect that with the Kenwood head unit the average person might not be able to detect the clicking and micro pauses during a normal song, but I know i could in my high end system, especially after all this nonsense i would be passively listening for it.

Conclusion: I suspect that there is either a fundamental problem with Android Open Accessory 2.0 that causes the clicking, or the stereo manufacturers are cutting corners somewhere, or maybe some incompatibility issue with the software. I just don't know. I tried to do more research but I have found nothing online about this specific issue.
[Android Auto General] s2g-unit:
ok wow, I'll try to get to a shop soon& test my tablet.

I'm really hoping I can use an OTG cable + hub & then go into one of these headunits. I need the hub in my car for rear camera & SSD media drive.
[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
Yeah OTG >> USB DAC is what im going to have to do too, unless i find a fix for the clicks.

[Android Auto General] s2g-unit:
I do actually have a Hifimediy u2 USB DAC.

I'm hoping to go from nexus 7>otg>hub>straight into the AOA 2.0 receiver.

If not my backup will be the USB DAC into a Pioneer 80prs.

Anybody have input?

What would be better in terms of sound quality?

-The aoa 2.0 allows me USB streaming digital into HU

vs

-USB DAC (by passing internal DAC) into Pioneer 80PRS (Amazing Sound quality HU for 250$) but this will have to be done via AUX.

Does the fact I have to use AUX even matter? will it degrade the quality?
[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
I know using straight AUX from the device tremendously reduces sound quality due to the device acting as a crappy DAC, then sending the audio signal through the AUX to the unit.

But if it goes to a separate DAC then through AUX, i dont know. I would like to find out also :)
[Android Auto General] s2g-unit:
I've posted on a few car audio boards. Nobody seems to ask this in the past becasue everybody in the past used ipod via usb. Bluetooth if they dont care about quality.

I think in most cases like you said, the response was negative to using AUX but thats because of the headphone jack / internal DAC as you know.

I'm just curious like you to know how much we would loose by using AUX. Maybe some will say it's because of another D/A conversion but can anybody really tell? I'll wait for some answers.
[Android Auto General] Soul0Reaper:
In regards to the OP, if you have a high end car system, why not shell out for an Android Auto head unit? The data for music is sent via USB I'm pretty sure as I can tell a clear difference between my Kenwood's BT vs AA.

(I suppose flac files are an issue but you mentioned spotify, which does have AA support)
[Android Auto General] s2g-unit:
I don't get why you think he needs an Android Auto Setup?

Double DIN radio are more for toys. They don't have the EQ or processing power of single DIN's.
[Android Auto General] Soul0Reaper:
Uh... I never said that he "needed" AA. I am certainly not an expert on head units and am not a claimed audiophile but based on what the requirements were, I don't see a reason why AA can't work. It is simpler to setup, includes spotify support, as well as a more cohesive and unified interface. Based on the issues getting audio over USB to work I think AA is a good alternative.

I'm not sure how DDs have less processing power but if you need such a thing, just add a DSP. I personally am fine with just an amp. Seems very extreme to claim them as toys. I wouldn't be so prejudiced...
[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
Main reasons:

-Touch screens are difficult to operate while driving

-My car would need modifications to install a double din

-And of course the price. I do have a quite high end system, but It is extremely cost efficient.

I believe AA is a waste of money if all you care about is sound quality because the cheapest solution for usb quality app radio is still just a $70 head unit and a used ipod touch for $50.

This is what I had before I heard about these new head units that still cost $70 but allow usb connection to android with aoa so I could potentially get rid of the ipod and just use my phone, but it hasn't worked out so far lol.
[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
AOA only supports 44.1 KHz sampling rate. Maybe a re-sampling issue.

To test I'd try 44.1 source material on a device that is native 44.1.

Note also that Google considers AOA deprecated and discourages it's further use. Very few people used it so Google may not bother fixing bugs, and it may not be a part of their Compatibility Test Suite..
[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
Thanks for the info, ill test the sampling rate theory :)

And its crazy that these head units that support aoa didnt come out until mid-late last year... The stereo companies need to get on track with google and take a break from suckling the teet of Apple :(
[Android Auto General] s2g-unit:
None of the shops near me have any of these HU's setup. I'll wait a 1-2 weeks for other peoples developments. If its still the same , I'll just buy a Pioneer 80PRS.
[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
Theres actually alot more than i thought, heres a more complete list:

JVC models: http://www.jvc.net/cs/car/firmware/2014/aoa/

Kenwood models: http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/aoa2/

Pioneer models: DEH X2800UI, X32800UI, X3800S, X4800BT, X5800HD, X6800BT, MVH X380BT
[Android Auto General] Soul0Reaper:
Indeed that is a good point. My unit basically cost the same as what I paid for my speakers and amp. I wish you luck on finding a solution!
[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
With more research i concluded that in the following connection:

Device > USB OTG > DAC > AUX > Head Unit

The aux will not effect the sound quality, but this connection will only be on par with USB if the external DAC is capable of grater or equal sound quality of the Head Unit DAC, AND if the AUX cable is of good quality as well.

That being said, i also concluded that depending on the bit rate of the audio, and the quality of your hardware, bluetooth quality might be indistinguishable from USB, especially in the sound environment of a car. But you would have to test that yourself.

I will be going for the external DAC :)
[Android Auto General] s2g-unit:
I have one more shop to check out this week hopefully. I want to test these AOA 2.0 headunits myself with otg cable + usb hub to see if I can still control the tabelt via headunit + test for the problems you had.
[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
sounds good :)

Just note the problems i had were occurring when i connected to a AOA 2.0 compatible head unit only via USB (USB A to micro USB).

Not with USB OTG or a USB hub. :) Idk if it works that way, but let me know :)
[Android Auto General] s2g-unit:
Haven't gone to check out the headunits. I'm most likely going with a Pioneer DEH80prs. I'm curious if anybody else has tested these headunits?
[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
Just an update.

I purchased the highly rated Dragonfly v1.2 USB DAC and hooked it up to my system with my android phone, although the sound quality was definitely top noch, the overall power just wasn't there. Everything dropped several decibels and it just felt lackluster. Even though theoretically the auxiliary cord in the setup is not supposed to hinder the system, I am positive it is the culprit. I tried MANY many different things such as adjusting EQs, gains, filters, passes, and various software on my android phone such as viper, and nothing got the system to the raw power that it use to have with a usb connection.

There is no doubt in my mind a USB connection is absolutely necessary, and unfortunately the easiest way to get it with apps is an apple device.

All that being said, I could notice a difference in clarity with the Dragonfly because it had a superior DAC than my cheap headunit. If you have the funds i agree with your decision, and you should go with the DEH80prs simply because it has some of the best internal specs including a fantastic DAC which i believe is most important. If i had the funds i would do the same. Just be sure to use USB! or CDs haha :)
[Android Auto General] s2g-unit:
****update****

I'm using:

Deh80-prs

Kicker KX650.4

Hertz Es250 10" woofer

CDT ES-62i

Nexus 7 2013 connected USB Sabre U2 DAC then onto AUX on the DEH80PRS

Viper4Android

The Ipod sounds AMAZING with lossless files, crystal clear with proper tight bass but from the N7 it sounds dull, no bass & there's a slight hiss.

I've tried playing with Viper4android turned off but then the volume is WAY too low. If I use Viper4android I can boost the output gain & use other settings for more volume. Doing that I can hear the music but it needs to be near max volume to compare to the ipod at half that volume.

What do you guys think?

Should i start looking into testing AOA 2.0 headunits again?

****Update****

LOL

I forgot I had media volume control (GPS based) still on.

I turned that off & turned off all audio boosting / gain in viper4android & it's perfect now.
[Android Auto General] emarciniak:
I picked up a new Pioneer MVH-X380BT off ebay for $50 usd. With a Nexus 5 with stock rooted Marshmallow the usb audio works perfect. No weird clicking or pauses at all. The only thing that sucks is that the head unit pushes out less power than the Pioneer DEH-P400UB it replaced. The volume on both decks goes to 62 and with my ipod classic over usb I could usually get it about 45-50 on the old one before it started to distort and clip and the new one goes to like 38-43.
[Android Auto General] ibCurlyFry:
Interesting, did u try playing a low frequency tone for a minute or so? Like 200hz

And that's unfortunate about the output.

Hi everyone im glad to see a thread about this little precious thing, i own a kenwood kdc-x500, at first worked perfectly with my old galaxy s5, then updated to a mate 8 and it sucked, audio out worked one of twenty something times, once again updated to an HTC 10 and it doesn't even recognise nothing, same With LG g5, and nothing seems to work with these flagships I'm thinking to buy a pioneer deh-x8800bhs to try the connection but I'm afraid that it won't work neither, I'm thinking is a marshmallow thing or the USB C I'm going crazy right now, if someone have feedback about these phones or hu's I'll be forever in your debt.

Hi. I sent all radios back.

I cant tell you anymore which radio had the most problems. 1 Radio doesnt got a BT connection with audio (my phone was connected but no sound)

the other one had no vocals. it seems it only streamed bass -.-

the 3. worked. but there was also a problem. i tried to live with it. but after 3 days i decided to sent them all back :)

i bought the alpine ute-92BT. i have no problems. the only negative is (USB the music isnt sorted from a-z its sorted for the date you copied it on the stick) - i only use bluetooth and 1h youtube mixes. i dont care about a-z :) i also can stop/play/skip from the radio. And it has Digital time correction. :)
[Android Auto General] tmuka:
Thanks for sharing in this thread, it's shockingly hard to find information and discussion on the topic. I've been using a standalone usb dac with my Nexus 6 in my car (into a mini DSP 6x8). I'm helping a friend plan a system based around a nexus 7 as the hu. I was hoping an Alpine UTE-62BT would function the same as my standalone usb dac with the addition of media transport controls and 4v preamp outputs. It would be great to have the time alignment and eq controls vs direct from the dac to the amp. If aoa is really deprecated maybe I'll have to consider an ipad mini instead of nexus 7 for reliable integration...
[Android Auto General] mihkell:
Has anyone had any success with USB OTG + HUB connection to a head unit? This problem seems to have been discussed here before but with no result.

What I'm thinking about is Nexus 7 > OTG > USB hub > Pioneer DEH-x5900BT.

Connected the whole thing up the way stated before without any medieval trickery but without any success... No connection what so ever. Connecting only the hub to the HU with a thumb stick gives an error (HU does not support hubs)

Hi, I'm looking at maybe getting a Pioneer deh x8700dab

I like this unit over for example the deh x7800dab

For 1-the display, 2-the rear usb keeps it nice n tidy...

When, for example the deh x8700dab Android details are stating 'app control for usb'... I'm assuming this is just mtp? Not a.o.a v2

Ultimately it needs to launch n control any music app on the phone via USB, not Bluetooth.

Does 8700dab do this?

Thanks.
