[General Questions and Answers] Mr Creosote:
I use my phone as an mp3 player, and I have the music folder and download folder on our desktop pc shared on the home network.

when I want to put music on the phone, I use es file explorer to copy music from the shared folder to the sd card. sometimes files don't copy in alpha-numeric order, I think it happens when there's a wider variation in file sizes in the folder. the sd card is formatted in FAT (exfat, I think), which indexes files in order of creation.

if the files have been copied and indexed out of order, music player apps will then play them in that order, regardless of what the track numbers in the metadata says. this is an old problem that's been plaguing digital music fans for years.

it's relatively easy to fix, by just cutting and pasting the files into another folder on the sd card, where they are re-indexed into alpha-numeric order.

is there a way to stop it happening to start with, either at the phone end or on the pc (linux mint 17)? I'd assume that formatting the sd card in a different file system would just cause me problems, can I force es file explorer to copy the files in order? or is there a different file manager that will? or would sharing the files via ftp instead of smb sort it out?

I'm in the market for a new HU and I've been following a lot of threads at XDA from the Pioneer based hacks to AppRadio to the Newsmy HUs to now the new Joying 5.1.1 and the octa-core InDashNet units. I've been looking at those last two machines pretty intensely, but I'm trying to weigh the benefits of both.

The InDashNet HU have far more robust components, but they are so new that there are plenty of bugs to be worked out along the way. The Joying units seem to have decent support (for Chinese HU), but I'm a bit more concerned buying into a unit that is using components that are seem like a generation or so behind the InDash unit.

Any others out there with the same dilemma? How did you resolve this? Thx.
[Android Head-Units] dgcruzing:
I think it's a matter of jumping in, I have had mine JY unit since August and have had many hours of usefulness out of it..

Thus it's coming up to 12 months.. so if I get another 12 months I am happy as Larry..by then it will be time to upgrade as this is a market segment that is only going to grow and get better and better..

It's like all tech, do you wait for the next best thing or do you suck it up, get what's hot now and and use it, then spin it around after you get tired of it.. and with luck only lose a bit of depreciation.. I know that even if I pulled mine out now and sold it for $200 I have had money's worth..

I think the key is to make sure who ever you buy off is giving you the warranty and support so that if you get a defective unit you can send it back.. as it seems the market is awash with some pretty ****ty units.. thus by dealing with someone that has got some cred already you will save yourself some heartache if the unit has a problem...
[Android Head-Units] CadillacMike:
Depending on what unit you get, Joying can also be WAY cheaper than In-Dash. For example, another thread on here has a link to the Universal fit from Joying on Amazon for like $260. The IN-Dash without a sale or discount is over $400.
[Android Head-Units] mainebluedevil:
That's what I'm seeing too. I'd go with the universal fit model anyway. But having the latest processor/ample amounts of RAM is important too. I'd rather spend more if the Joying unit is choking on itself a year from now. I'd suspect I'd get a longer life out of the model with newer components.
[Android Head-Units] dunksalot:
When I bought my Joying they (along with 3 other manufacturers I was shopping at the time) told me the quadcore may not work with 5.1 or newer versions of Android - not ever. Of course they appear to work now so maybe they were full of sales fluff. Regardless, with an OctaCore to support 5, 6, and eventually 7.0 or greater (InDashNet confirmed to me that I would be able to go 6 and 7 when ready) I at least feel that I won't have to buy another unit for my current car unless I really wanted to. Plus, I get responses from InDashNet with better detail. There are slight issues as their platform is newer, but it is definitely quicker and the bugs appear easy to fix.
[Android Head-Units] ricebus:
how often do InDashNet upgrade their platform?
[Android Head-Units] dunksalot:
Once already with another coming soon that they are already testing internally.
[Android Head-Units] ricebus:
So which one would you recommend? The InDashNet units also have far less capable amplifiers. Only supplying 25w per output :/
[Android Head-Units] dunksalot:
I like InDashNet but would wait a couple of weeks to see if the latest updates solve the problems. Both are likely comparable in terms of amplification as it all boils down to RMS rating (ignore max)...you can always add an external one for $50 (plus cabling) and those are easier to install than a head unit.

I was emailed 85W x 4 by InDashNet so I don't know why is says 25W on the InDashNet forum post #1. I use 2 amps myself (1 for front/rear and 1 for subwoofer.)
[Android Head-Units] nixfu:
Personally, I think you should always buy on the back end of technology and not go with the latest. This gets you far far more peformance/$. I would go with the $250 joying and if you want to upgrade in a few years, do it when the octocores are as common and available from as many sources as the quad cores are today and they will also then be as cheap.

If you go with pretty much the only one available today, in 1-2 years you will be sorry you did not wait because someone will come out with a better design that is more refined and has a few more features than the ones available now, but you will have spent so much on the one now, you will not want to upgrade for a long time until you get your "money's worth" out of it first.
[Android Head-Units] dunksalot:
Normally this is very true. In fact, if you buy on the back end of this market there are some great dual core units out there. However, they do not work with the latest Android 5.x either and the support from the vendor to upgrade that software is long gone not to mention Android app vendor support. I already can't use some apps who now only support 6.x products. So I did consider what you said but I'll take new if it works good enough knowing that it will see revisions that improve it. Plus, now that I've used OctaCore vs Quad the speed is so much closer to the Japanese units I grew up on.
[Android Head-Units] ricebus:
The Joying HU seems quite fine but I'm afraid 1GB of RAM for android is not enough. Maybe I'm wrong, do you have it? How does it perform?

Also, we all take it for granted, but boot-up time for this is super crucial, if it takes more than a few seconds it's kinda annoying.
[Android Head-Units] CadillacMike:
what apps do you use that only support android 6? Marshmallow is on less than 10% of devices:

outside of in-dash, very few of these head units have 2 gig, the Ownice C200 and one Pumpkin unit is about it. The S160 from RoadNavi only has 1 gig, but Kotix made a ROM that gives you more RAM
[Android Head-Units] dunksalot:
There are a few I wanted to download and try. AUPEO for one. IFTTT as well. Those come to mind. I can't remember every one that I looked to try off the top of my head but there were are good 4 or 5. Not a big deal I guess.
[Android Head-Units] bernard black:
Lookd into Android Head units a couple of years ago (gave it up because they were all pretty terrible to be honest at the time - borderline useless). Amazing that so little has happened since 2013/2014. :) Most units still rely on the same old awful Rockchip SoC and comes with 1GB of RAM paired with a terrible UI and Android 4.x.

Another sad thing is that most of these units only support Bluetooth 2.1 (Joying included). Bluetooth 4.x offers better audio quality.

Thanks for pointing out the currently best units available on the market [MENTION=7438610]dunksalot[/MENTION]. I'm probably going to buy a cheap Joying 5.1.1 and simply live with the lag (?) when switching between apps. It'll probably take quite some time before anything with Cortex A15 or Cortex A72 paired with 2-4GB of RAM becomes available.

I did have Android Auto-support on my wishlist (that way the specs wouldn't have mattered), but that seems impossible to find outside pioneer and kenwood units, which are USD600-USD1900+.

Edit: Or is it better to wait a bit longer? It seems that Joying are working on units with 2GB of RAM according to their FB page, they won't say anything more about it though:
[Android Head-Units] nixfu:
>old awful Rockchip SoC and comes with 1GB of RAM paired with a terrible UI and Android 4.x.

Actually after having a 4.4.1 for a year and now a 5.1.1 head unit for about 6 months I would dispute that.

a) The quad core Rockchip CPU is pretty capable and has run nearly everything I have thrown at it smoothly from every GPS app I have ever tried to HD movies, to Kodi streaming, Netflix, MP3's, all while recording a front dash cam constantly in the background as well.

b) The 1GB RAM is not a big deal. That is what most phones had for a loooong time, and Android is more than able to run with that ram.

c) The UI that is on the KD and Joying units is actually VERY good. It does exactly what it needs to do, and is perfect for the car. I have tried others and they all are not as good, or get in the way of use in the car.

d) Having Android 4.4 vs 5 is not a big deal either. Android 4.x is still the most used version of Android around the world, and is the most stable version as well. I have found 5.1 to be slightly better, and have noticed one bug disappear, but honestly its really marginal a difference. Android 4.x runs every single piece of software I run on 5.x just fine.

e) Android auto seems like a HACK to me so they can sell very low powered head units and push all the work down to the phone. I don't see all that much benefit compared to having a fully capable android device in the dash instead. I would rather have my dash unit be powerful enough to do everything I want it to do instead of having to juggle two devices.

I have frankly been amazed at what I have been able to get out of a $250 that is basically the same price, as if I had done what I was originally going to do and just upgrade my factory car radio to a major brand simple radio with an AUX input for my mp3 player.
[Android Head-Units] bernard black:
Interesting, so maybe I won't be disappointed if I go down the Joying path. It's not very expensive as you point out, so upgrading in a year or two wouldn't be a pain. Thanks.

I'm not in a big rush though, so I'll probably wait a few more months before jumping on the train.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klark1kent:
So, I'm im at a loss here... I haven't done anything to my phone today other than turn on the Webserver at Boot function in Adaway, which I'm guessing is the culprit here... but based on my inability to fix that, which I've fixed Xposed issues before, I'm not confident.

so I'm bootlooping on LG screen primarily, phone was working fine next minute it was off and wouldn't turn on. Took battery out, etc... thought it was the batteries at first, charged both fully, continued troubleshooting. Rebooted a few times it'd boot, show my unlocked Bootloader screen, continue as if going to TMO screen, back to LG screen.

So I tried to boot into TWRP via Factory Reset method. I follow the prompts and then the screen locks, randomly the bootloader unlocked dialogue reappears.

Computer previously recognized device via ADB, now it does not, even with updated drives and ADB/Fastboot. Had the device install itself a few times when plugged in, did not help.

I was able to boot into Fastboot one time, while in there I thought maybe it's an issue with TWRP, so I reflashed TWRP 3.0.1 through fastboot and ran fastboot with the twrp image command... screen locked and nothing happened.

I'm not sure what to do at this point without Fastboot being accessible through computer or regularly through manual method. TWRP is pretty much,... man I don't even know where TWRP is at this point it hasn't made a single appearance in this troubleshooting session.

Any ideas I'm missing?

If you can get fastboot working again try to just boot twrp rather than flashing it

fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img

Other than that try using lgUP to flash rooted MM if you can get pc to recognize phone

hey bud - thank you for responding. I actually by the grace of god, just got my phone to boot into fastboot mode again. It wouldn't even turn on since I wrote this post so I've just been browsing for alternatives. Literally on the LgUp page as we speak thinking that's going to have to be the route I take even if I lose all my data... at least I won't have a brick. I ended up using a method I've been trying all day, it's weird how it's hit or miss on when it works... held volume down and plugged in USB, not sure why it's working randomly even tried other computers, ports, cables... anyway thanks !
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klark1kent:
I Knew i was going to leave something out, if I flash rooted MM, couldn't that make things worse if I'm on TWRP for LP. I'll read the instructions on the up page, but at first glance I didn't see them talking about specific recoveries like on the eliminator thread..
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
You can follow toungkick's method and flash the .tot and kdz to get rooted mm, this will include the proper recovery

Choice is yours on the method but this way is smooth and rooted MM is great on this phone

But yeah, data will be wiped,

If you manage to make it into recovery you can try and dirty flash current ROM on top (no wipe) and see if that fixes things first so you don't loose any data
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klark1kent:
I'm honestly losing my mind over this one, I've gotten into Fastboot several times but never long enough to flash much of anything. LGUP won't recognize device and the method to get it to recognize the device by removing the battery isn't work. So I tried manually flashing images in Fastboot and also tried Nexus Root Toolkit as a last ditch effort.

The further I've gotten is flashing TWRP again, and reflashing a boot image...

Believe it or not I just booted into TWRP, it wasn't easy at all but the phone finally went through following the factory data reset method... I was in there for maybe 7 seconds and then screen went black and phone powered off.

I'm getting to the point where, since it fully booted once, booted into fastboot, booted into TWRP, I'm not convinced this isn't hardware related? But I'm not an expert there.

The only way, literally that I can get it into Fastboot is to take the battery out entirely, hit power a few times to drain it, hold volume down insert cable... the screen comes on with the battery indicator but it flashes a red question mark and I simultaneously throw the battery in while holding down volume... and fastboot boots right up ... I only have a few minutes each time and even though things are successfully clashing (I also erased the cache) nothings working.

I was in TWRP long enought o know that it appears all my data is still in there, was hoping to get to Xposed to delete... maybe I'll look into the xposed uninstall zip and see if that helps but really.... wondering if my batteries got screwed up somehow with these new cables I'm using. never read anything quite like this one

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philip:
Under Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi frequency band, I have "2.4 GHz only" selected.

However, on my home network (which broadcasts the same SSID on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz), it still frequently connects at 5GHz.

Has anybody else seen this, and is there any solution?

Also: is there any way (e.g. third party app) to set the phone to "Automatic"

except

when it's connected to my home wi-fi, when I only want it to connect at 2.4GHz?

(Why do I want to do this? I'm running AirDroid in local mode on my PC, which only connects at 2.4GHz. If my N6 connects at 5GHz, then AirDroid doesn't work as it regards the PC and phone as being on 2 different networks.)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electricpete1:
I have wifi extender with 2.5ghz and 5ghz bands. They have slightly different names (ssid's)

When I set to 2.5 only, the name of the 5ghz network disappears from the list of available networks. Does yours do this?

Do you have unique SSID's for the two networks? (I'm not sure if it's required, but that's the way mine is set up)

Do you have a Custom kernel or rom?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philip:
I'm using the same SSID for both networks (2.4GHz and 5GHz) - this is convenient for all our other devices, as they can seamlessly connect to either frequency. It just appears as a single name in the list of networks.

I'm running Cataclysm.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
The known ssid's with passwords are stored somewhere. Changing the settings to 2.4 GHz doesn't clear this

First choose 'forget' and connect again.

I've the same with Chromecast. Changing the name of the 5 GHz ssid can make 'connect life' easier.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philip:
Many thanks.

So that sounds as if I:

1) Set phone to "2.4GHz only"

2) "Forget" my home network

3) Reconnect my home network (at 2.4GHz)

4) Set phone back to "Automatic"

then my home network will always connect at 2.4GHz, but other networks that I encounter will connect at either 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

Is this correct?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Yes (on my N6)

But setting 'automatic' includes 5Ghz.

Think about changing ssid.

Wifi devices will choose by signal strength.
