If you have multimeter you can use that to verify the motor status otherwise there are some apps on play store for motor testing (e.g. vibration test) you can use that but the app doesn't verify if is it because of loose connections or malfunctioning motor.

Best option is go with multimeter test and tell me the results.

What is that multi tester? I have testes vibration apps dont work.

The motor is dead i think or is unplugged because of that clicky sound. Any ideea how to open the phone and where it ks located to check it??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AbdNz:
Just go to service centre because you do it yourself, your warranty will be void.

On the other hand if you want to do it yourself, there are several videos for break-down the phone, watch them and open up the phone.

P.S. Service centre is recommended

Hi guys, I bought a new Mi4 2 weeks ago. It arrived with a fake rom, I installed Xiaomi.eu 7.1.3.0 KK. First days I suffered of huge battery drain without sim inserted, but now, with sim, the main problem is the battery drain after enabling airplane mode. Once the battery start to fall the only way to stop is to restart the phone! It is unbelievable how my 4 years old Galaxy Nexus (with original battery!) is performing better! There is a bug report on official Miui forum, where you can find some tests and testimonials and also confirm this bug if you are suffering: http://en.miui.com/thread-183026-1-1.html.

Reading the discussion on Miui forum it seems that with other roms like Cyanogen and Aosp there is no such battery draining. Can you expose your experince? Thanks. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4] zoomelliott:
You should check if it's not a fake Xiaomi, lots of documentation on internet about that!

I'm trying to get the kernel modules from a factory image downloaded from "Nexus Files from Developers" (not able to publish urls developers.google.com_android_nexus_images). But I was unable to find the kernel modules, I searched on system.img, boot.img (including the ramdisk), cache.img and userdata.img. I'm pretty sure that the kernel image doesn't have the kernel modules builtin.

Does anybody knows where the kernel modules are in a factory image for Nexus devices? Because I was able to get kernel modules from other factory images but not from nexus 5 and 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
They are all grouped together now. So you cant get them separately.

Where is the source code?

A: It is not released, nor will it be released as it was with mtcB. WTF!

Do the MTCD boards have proprietary hardware and/or software? Besides the MCU

A: Yes. Custom digitizer means you have to buy screen from them. LCD is generic so its replaceable but I have found a reputable dealer. Heres website

http://cowinlcd.com/html/en/index.php?ac=article&at=read&did=113

What are the LCD and digitizer model numbers?

A:depends on the head unit model

10.1 inch version: Cowin and goodix

7 inch versions: ?

Where can I find rk3188 2gb boards to replace the 1gb board?

A:JOYING-There are none. They keep claiming 2gb is coming, but if they knew MTCB boards were slow with 1gb, why are they selling it again.

A:Xtrons-

How are they loading the software onto the board? (Jtag etc)

A: from Rockchips site,

Then I'm assuming(NOT TESTED) we can use rktool and flash the update img. Tearing apart the img shows partion paths. This might be the method for user recovery on hard brick units.

Has anyone found any suspicious activity/service/app running on these units?

A: Not yet but since source is being withheld BE CAREFUL of your privacy.

Has anyone used any after market shark fins with these units?

A: Only Radio fins was tested. GPS fins unknown. LTE fins known.

A guy pm'd me an app that sets Poweramp as the primary music player and adds it to steering wheel controls, however the app is specifically for poweramp unfortunately. However, if someone has managed to make it work with power amp, i cant see a reason why it couldnt be re-worked for Google Music?

A: Joying and other brands dont care or have much knowledge. The lack of source code is sad. Its left up to the users which begs the question:

Why is this product so expensive if it runs extremely slow and we have to do all the work?

A:

Is there any way to pull an image of the full MCU/stock software for recovery purposes, or is this one of those things that is really available only from manufacturer?

A: Yes . Online Nandroid on play store. or RKtools.

Where can I get drivers and other useful tools?

A:Rockchips site

If anyone else has questions that get answered here Ill update first post to reflect it.

Radio antennas? sure many people and it is recommended if your car has more than one radio.

I thought Rockchip produces those boards?

android system/bootloader/kernel How are they loading onto the nand storage. With certain phones and tablets you can jtag. Others require certain hardware or software to load it onto the board. This is to try to come up with a user method of recovering hard bricks.

Can anyone with experience of MTCB units and MTCD units post some sort of comparison of the two types ?

We can see what the differences are but it would be useful if someone with experience of both types ( [MENTION=5863025]Marius B[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2366275]doctorman[/MENTION] maybe) could post some comments explaining the hands on advantages or disadvantages compared to the "B" units.

never saw anything on that regard in Joying units at least.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

what kind of detail do you need.

there are reviews around the net on both..

to my experience right now the mtcD ROM needs major polishing , it is nothing close to mtcB. it is sluggish.

I am so sure that I noticed one boot at 10 seconds but could not replicate it, I am getting 23 seconds boot time on mtcD with latest Joying ROM.

motherboardis rearranged,

it has now 3 UPS plugs on the mother board, only 2 used.

2 wifi antennas but wifi is still 2.4 GHz

GPS antenna is soldered to the coreboard instead of motherboard.

the screen ribbon cable in mtcD is narrower and does not fit the old mtcB connection

touch screens are not interchangeable even though the cable is the same

BT is built in to the motherboard now

I would give the mtcD 6 months to mature up like mtcB units

we now have many developers working on head units and they are joining mtcD as well and bring their work over to these so it will hopefully go faster.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Thanks Doctorman, I think its pretty obvious that MTCD will replace MTCB, a shame in some ways cos of all the work done on MTCB units over the years, it would have been nice to be able to just upgrade the SoM as we did from MTCB RK3066 to MTCB RK3188, on the other hand the MTCD MCU seems to be better then the MTCB MCU and lots of the MTCBs bugs seem to have gone with the MTCD units, its just a case of allowing them to mature lke you say.

Does anyone have an MCTD device that has working bluetooth settings? Can you add and remove devices freely without issues?

The rom that came on my device can't add/remove bluetooth devices from the head unit bluetooth settings page. Selecting a device does nothing. It's as if you don't pair a device once initially prompted, it won't let you change things.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] whitetigerlgt:
I do, but only phones and OBD2 dongles pair so far. Also most apps other than Torque that would use the BT obd2 dongle think that BT is off in the system.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] hans1983:
I bought a Huifei unit for my VW Crafter (I can't post links yet due to my post count, but if you search for Crafter quad core android something like it comes up). Since it is essentially the same as the Mercedes Sprinter, it fits both cars. However, on the VW the dash lights are red and on the MB they are orange. Apparantly when switching to 5.1.1 they also made some hardware modifications. One of them being that the button lights aren't RGB anymore, but only orange. I've already tried to resolve this through the seller by obtaining a new button pcb with red leds, but that seems like a track that doesn't really lead anywhere.

Since I see many people doing hardware mods on these units also, I was wondering whether this is a mod that a local electronic repair shop could do. I've contacted one of them, but they didn't want to do it because they feared the SMD-technique.

I hope you guys can confirm that this is possible to do by a professional repair shop.

BTW, I know I'm to late to the show to sponsor the new unit for the 5.1.1 development. But I would like to show my gratitude to this person anyway, since I'm really hoping the software side of things gets improved soon also and I'm very happy that he is willing to take on this task. How can I still donate to him?

I would have thought so - thats the way it works with the MTCB units and I would also think that MCUs ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE, just as they are not for MTCB units.

Seems that ROMs are interchangeable just as they are on MTCB units then.

I doubt it but you could try it, as long as you back up the original apps first. I cant see that anything would happen that isnt reversible, but it would be at your own risk.

I have a bluetooth->serialport device I want to use with an app, and it too thinks the bluetooth is off, even though I am able to pair the headunit with it.

These units must not behave like regular android devices when it comes to bluetooth detection etc..

I had been hoping that since the bluetooth is now on the motherboard instead of being separate addon card that the MTCD units would be more like every other android device when it came to bluetooth.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] MicroO:
Just upgraded my Xtrons HU to v4 Malaysk Rom. Ever since having my head unit it has slightly irritated me that the brightness doesn't seem bright enough to cope with sunlight. The tablet I was initally going to use, at full brightness, had no problems with glare.

It could do with another couple of brightness levels, I'm assuming this is not something that can be done in software (and when I pluck up the courage, I will open my unit and see if I can find the resistors/controls for the backlight).
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] SCRPD:
Seems I cannot reassign steering wheel keys too. Mine is installed in my 2014 Ford Focus ST.

I contacted my seller & they said this when I asked about reassigning a certain button that currently opens a non-working app called "SYNC".

"dear friend, can not change the button, but pls connect the wire like this photo, then the "SYNC" will work"
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Samoawbc:
It seams that the Buttons are connected over the Canbus an therefore you cant remap them.

My car is also a Focus Mk3. I managed to get the lower keygroup working with the Steeringwheel app.

I had to resolder a cable that comes frome the little plug where the original Display was.

I connected it with the "SWC1 Key" Cabel from the new HeadUnit.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] SCRPD:
For the Focus ST all controls are canbus I guess (all media & phone functions are included into the button circle).

Did you have anywhere to plug in the two white wires that end in a connector coming from the canbus box? I couldn't find a connector for it anywhere.

Hopefully a user on XDA cracks the Canbus button assignment on MTCD units. This "SYNC" app is useless, I rather have it open something like Google Now search.

Quick question about the "Delay power off" setting. I remember reading on here that someone else had set it to the full two hours. I set mine to 10 minutes and actually whooped with joy when I turned the car back on after coming out of the shop and the HU instantly started playing the last song!!!

So my question is, has anybody measured how much power the player is drawing in this standby mode?

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] mainebluedevil:
I just installed a JY MTCD HU and while I'm generally happy, I often encounter some extremely sluggish performance to the point where it can be up to 30 seconds between a screen press and the unit responds. Google Play Music (or other apps) will often hang and seemingly freeze. I have restored to factory settings once and while it worked well after for a while, the sluggishness returned. I have toyed with installing Malaysk's ROM, but again fearful of bricking the unit.

Lastly... is it true you cannot use 4G USB dongles on this unit? I tried to use one on the list from Huawei, but my wireless carrier (Verizon) said they did not support that dongle and need to use one through them. They said a 3G dongle can be found but the guy at Verizon couldn't understand why one would want the 3G model.

Malaysk does ROMs for MTCB and MTCD. There are no Xtrons units, Xtrons are sellers only, to find out what unit you have go to settings/about device and look at the letter code before your MCU version.
