Oh sweet, I hope you are happy with your decision. I posted about my Jeep/Joying everywhere I could find a relevant place to post. When I was reading about these radios for over a year, i had such a hard time finding information relevant to me. So when I had something for me, I tried to post it everywhere I could find so the next person could have some details.

Voice calling is not important to me, but from my reading on here, I dont think it is possible. I think the on these units Android and the physical side dont' play nice. That's why the hardware controls cant change songs in apps, etc.

now that one guy on here made MTCDtools to make the hardware controls work with Spotify. so maybe someone can make the calling work
[Android Head-Units] drinkup4:
I do really like my head unit. It is lot better than the stock HU that came with my Jeep. I have seen a lot of complaining on here and Reddit, but I think because of everything it can do they forget what they bought and want something in there dash with all the functionality of a flagship smart phone. For less than $400, this HU is amazing.

I also would like to change the few frustrations I have with it, but I know what I have and what I paid.

The only reason I thought there might be a chance of voice calling is because I saw a video of someone with a Pumpkin HU that could voice call. He used Parrat bluetooth. I thought there might be a way to get it on a Joying unit. Like I said not a huge deal compared to everything this HU can do.
[Android Head-Units] TKhawk01:
I've been trying to achieve the same thing with mine. Joying sent a RFID chip with mine and I tried to use it to toggle between WIFI and tethering. I tried several different programs, it would turn the WiFi off and start the tethering process but could never complete it. I think it must have something to do with the message that pops up "please wait while verifying." One of the apps I tried, Power Toggles, has a feature on their widget where a double tap will take you to the Hotspot and Tethering page in settings. That's the quickest way I've found to turn on the hotspot so far.

Mike is also the one who inspired me to get this for my Jeep as well, I think Joying should be sending him for a check for referrals!
[Android Head-Units] CadillacMike:
Well this is pretty awesome. Joying should send me a check. I havent posted it yet, but on the Jeep forums and the Joying forum I'm going to post a very long post about how I got their Jeep unit to work with the Premium Alpine system.

my Samsung S7 has a quick toggle as well, I found that is the easiest way to get it on. And in the settings of that you can have it turn off after 10 minutes or so of not being connected. only problem is I forget to turn my wifi back on

I have a 350MB avi movie file and it seems to be not playing on my TyTN II, winplayer or TCMP...

Anything I can do ?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nadavi:
Yes!!!

Use "Pocket Pc Divx Encoder" (google it) to encode the movie to fit PocketPC and to Divx as well.

Enjoy,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mutantblack:
yep what nadavi said. You just need to encode to different format.

Hello i flashed twrp after that i flashed this stock rom (cant send link Feelsbadman). The phone didnt boot so i flashed an other rom from here(needrom). After that the phone couldnt boot into recovery so my question is : is my phone bricked?

Thanks
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
Well it was great for 2 hours. Screen is unresponsive now. Any suggestions...
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] -=Jeff=-:
Sorry I cannot help with the unresponsive screen, but I have a question

For the few hours you enjoyed it, how was the display in direct sunlight?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
It was ok, this morning driving to work their was a good bit of glare, but still very readable. I will try it with the top down and see what it can take would assume that would wash it out.

Pretty sure a matte screen protector would solve any issues with glare. Something like this should do for my screen

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] -=Jeff=-:
I have a car with a targa roof.. I tried a matte protector with my newsmy NU3001 and it did not help. I really like the idea of the Touch screen UI but I think I am out of luck for seeing it on the screen. I have a MTCD unit too but have not tried it yet.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] f1x:
Have you tried to reflash the unit? Factory ROM for you unit should be available somewhere on the forum. It looks like it lost touch calibration.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
I thought that was exactly what happened. I reflashed both ROM and DMCU, but didn't help. The vendor sent my video over to his engineer and they are going to get back with me today. I am thinking its a physically problem with the screen like something worked its way loose or the heat of the day effected it.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
System Re-Flash from recovery mode.

I just went into recovery mode and did a full reflash again hoping it gives some information about what is happening. I videoed it, and it will (in about an hour) be available here. https://youtu.be/9Q70WxcMzzg Warning beginning to end its 8:21. May be of use to someone trying to understand how to get into recovery mode and reflash

I went ahead and typed the messages on the screen after selecting "Update system/mcu image from sdcard and clear all" all the text that followed is below. I see an error came up in parsing the backup, not sure if that effects the loading or not, it seems to be running the same
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
The vendor got with his engineer and is pretty sure it is the touch screen itself that is the issue, not the software (I was thinking the same thing). Their guess is the cable has somehow worked loose and want me to open the unit and check the cable connections. He sent me a photo of what to look for (below). Any recommendations/warnings before taking this thing apart tonight?

Thanks, this thread may be too much me, but if someone else is having the same issues, I want to make sure there is somewhere they can look for troubleshooting and hopefully an eventual solution.

BTW, so far vendor communication has been really good.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] schriss:
Hi, have you been able to fix it? I'm thinking of getting the exact same head unit (as opposed to universal one with all the extras I would need, like fascia, cage, harness)
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
Mailed I back, they received today and are returning a new unit. Will update when it arrives
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
I got an update from the vendor, and the issue was a touchscreen cable worked loose. Absolutely a problem with the assembly in China, and probably something I could have fixed if I was skilled in electronic repair. My new unit is on the way here.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] schriss:
I should be getting mine delivered tomorrow, hopefully no loose cables :)
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] raptor18:
Are there any benefits buying a eonon unit compared to this one? Are they from the same factory you think? The new eonon has Bluetooth 4 compared to others? How can that be if they are all from the same manufacturer?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] schriss:
I suspect they all come from same factory, Eonon, Joying or no brand - the only difference seems to be the software.

I'm quite happy with my "generic" unit, so far so good. But didn't test bluetooth more than just paired with my phone, no calls yet or any obd2 readers used.

My main use is navigation and that seems fine, but my phone seems to be getting a bit more accurate gps lock according to gps test apps.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] raptor18:
PattonD, have you tried a Bluetooth call? How was it? Did you use the internal mic or an external?

One of the most important features for me...

The unit you bought is very interesting.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] raptor18:
I got the unit. I tried the unit at home. Internal mic seems fine.

However, how is the reverse camera installed? Is reverse signal coming from the canbus system or must i cut the brown cable (cable 8, back car cable) and connect it to the reverse lights?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] ptclabs:
it is the plug
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] raptor18:
I'm not really sure what you mean mate
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] raptor18:
PattonD, How did You enter recover menu on your unit?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
The first unit's Bluetooth actually worked ok, the replacement unit sounds like crap to whoever I am talking to. Eventually I will pull it and do the mod for an external mic
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
My obd2 is working fine with Torque, could not get it to work with Carly, but they say their adapter is best. I need to get the e46 wired adapter, wonder if it would work with these units?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
Press and hold the power knob, it will rest after a bit then the DVD light will flash, I release the power knob, then press again quickly. It then booted into recovery
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] schriss:
This unit is slow but works, overall I like it. If only it had 2GB RAM.

I've setup Torque widgets, so now I can see my battery while parked, never going to drain it again.

[MENTION=4812928]Pattond[/MENTION] do you have set canbus fuctions? I have same device and when i select from canbus BMW my wheel not working. Ofc I see in meny app name: "Vehicle" when I select BMW in canbus but I think also not working.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
No, I didn't have to set Canbus functions to work in my e46
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Sehmee:
Did you've tried the back-wire yet? I've got OEM PDC on my BMW E46 1999, but my MTCD_GS (Xtrons) doesn't provide virtual/graphic display of my PDC.

Would like to get that work since I do not have a backup camera. I hate the bleep sound of the pdc, so if anyone knows how to get pdc on screen in reverse mode, please let me know :).
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Pattond:
No, reverse camera, I just get the yellow warning triangle when backing up.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Sehmee:
But can't see the camera when reverse?

And does it detect reverse by canbus or did you wired the 'back' wire to your tail light.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] pitu120:
I have Also MTCD_GS and using reverse camera. Its working fine. I connect camera power to tail light (reverse). When I change gear into reverse display camera image.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Sehmee:
What car do you have? Is it automatic or manual shifted? And how does the radio know it is in reverse, did you wired the 'back' wire or does it recognize the reverse by canbus?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] pitu120:
BMW e46 sedan 2000y, manual. I had signal wires to camera + one blue wire (i think its for information about rewerse).
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Sehmee:
Ok, guess you used the wire marked with the 'back' lable to detect reverse. Sad the Canbus doesn't detect anything else, only the steering wheel keys.

I have E46 Coupe 1999
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] pitu120:
Yes I have canbus decoder connected but when I set in factory settings canbus on BMW my steering wheel no working, in vehicle app dont have informations.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Sehmee:

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] yves31:
I have the same unit from Tongtai but for Toyota Pruis instead of BMW E46. The seller is quite friendly in answering questions. Everything in my unit works: navigation, radio, Bluetooth, rear camera ...

For iGO navigation, the unit does not come with TTS voices. I managed to install some TTS voice files and they are working now. However TTS voices do not mute other sounds such as radio and bluetooth music. The other non-tts voices have no problem to mute radio music. Does anyone else have similar problem?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] schriss:
Hi,

my experience was exactly the same.

I did flash da-anton Beta3 ROM and performance is massively improved. It's not super fast, but much usable now. Maps will still load slowly for the first time, but after that all works not so bad. Switching between apps seems faster too. Especially boot time is improved. I do not install any apps at all, just using Google Maps, PowerAMP for music and Torque with widgets on home screen (so I don't have to open Torque at all).

The only real solution to slowness is to buy a 2GB Ram radio, they are available now.

I did buy external mic and it works great, people say they hear me loud and clear. You can download an app, some mic tester app, do some testing record results like dB shown when you talk and then compare it to after you install external mic and you will see difference. Internal mic is useless. External mic I have sticked on dash between radio and steering wheel and people hear me fine.

Regards, Chris
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] yodlan:
Thanks Chris for feedbeck

I will go for external mic than!

And thanks for info about rom i will read about it

Before I will decide to switch rom i will test solution described here:

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...ons-development/food-slow-mtcd-units-t3533764

Found it today.

I disabled all google related apps (exculding Maps) (go to settings>applications>all). I switched off all google apps.

I spend in car one hour but for sure there is huge improvement! Anyway i need to test it more.

Google maps works (no OK google feature, no history) but rest works as I see.

There is also one app (Fuelio) which tells me that google services has to be enabled to see map in this app

To download/update apps I have to enable google stuff again and disable later but its worth to try for those who are afraid (like me xD) of changing rom.

Hope this will help to someone. Hard to find info about this device.

Cheers

Yod
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] schriss:
For me disabling Google services is not an option, I mainly use my radio for navigation and with da-anton Beta3 ROM I can use Google Maps with all it's features including recent history search which I use often, planning routes on the phone or PC first, then just opening up from history in the car. Just need to remember the more installed apps the slower it all gets.

Flashing new ROM is not really "flashing" you just put ROM file on SD card and do update. In my case radio didn't boot after that, but I was able to go into recovery mode and flash it from there again. As long as recovery is working, it's hard to brick it.

I also use Google Drive Sync app, so I put music into a folder on Google Drive on my PC and car radio just downloads it on it's own.

Overall I like the radio, I just wish 2GB were available back then when I bought it and now I'm stuck with it.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] yodlan:
Thanks schriss for update and answering

You are right better to have those features enabled. I have read da-antom ROM thread and decided to flash.

I spend today some time in car and device works much much faster but if I can have google features enabled it worth trying.

As I understood You, safer way will be to use recovery mode, no rooting device is required.

All i have to do is to put dupdate.img on SD and install via recovery mode? (and wipe stuff I guess).

With some roms (eg. this one i have now) there is also file dmcu.img which is not provieded with da-antom ROM. Can I ignore this?

If i decide to revert changes again i need to select old ROM and install as first one? ( I see seller left this rom on GPS card)

Microphone plug is 2'5 or 3'5 jack?

Regards

yod
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] schriss:
Hi, I don't remember what jack the microphone has, but there are many types so make sure to buy one from a seller who sells the same kind of radio you have.

I got this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fre...icrophone-for-Car-DVD-Player/32709547586.html

The update file you should be able to flash from Settings - System Update, that will probably go into recovery by itself. I remember this ROM is using different partition scheme, I think I simply had to flash it twice to get it to work. I remember I flashed first time via system update, there was some error at the end of flashing and instead of flashing it again while I was already there in recovery, I rebooted. Radio didn't boot obviously, so I went into recovery manually, flashed again and then all worked.

I do have root, but I don't remember if da-anton comes rooted or if I rooted manually later...

dmcu.img you don't have to flash, that's like radio firmware/bios, it's separate thing from android ROM.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] kendonsh:
they updated the units

I just ordered mine a week and a half ago and it came with 2GB RAM 16GB ROM and android 7.1.1 and supposedly it supports adaptable storage and split screen. I got to find a free SD card to check adaptable storage and haven't tried split screen yet to see if it works. I just got past the no audio issue, i didn't wanna cut into any cables so figured out a different way.

I ran a usb and aux cable into the coin tray but I'm gonna try and hook up an AnyCast this weekend and see if I can get that to work. Along with hooking up my backup camera.

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

from the research I've done and a little personal experience you don't have to change settings for the canbus, supposed to be pre-programmed for that model car. so canbus in factory settings should stay on NO and not changed to BMW, switching can stop it from functioning but for me it didn't change anything. Also the remap SWC buttons app doesn't work on almost every type of android unit for the E46 and will default to the canbus only.

with the canbus plugged in it should switch to the reverse camera when put in reverse. for me to cuts out the music and switches to the screen but since I didn't hook up the camera yet i just get a yellow sign.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
Coming from a Note 4 which was a phenomenal device. The Note 7 will be the first phone I have had without root in MANY YEARS. So far I like it, but this issue that I just noticed is a major one and I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing it.

My home internet speed is 300/20. I regularly get Speedtest results 340/25 on my PCs and both mine and my wife's Note 4's when connected to the 5ghz band on my AC router. We both have the Note 7 now and rarely break 30-40 Mbps download speed. I have tried everything and this definitely appears to be a firmware issue in the Note 7. My friend came over with his S7 active (ATT) and his Speedtest results were in line with my network. We still have our Note 4's (I have to restore them to stock before sending them back) and they still get 340/25.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] drum747:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] kxhaz:
I am getting similar results on my Wifi as I had with my S7 Edge, actually my upload speeds were the best I have seen. I have google fiber and my speed test came in at 273.87 mbps down and 403.30 mbps up. On my S7 Edge I was normally around 300 mbps down and 250 mbps up. My Nexus 6 was also very similar to these results.

Yep, I'm having the same issue. My S6 edge maxes my connection 195 down, 20 up. This phone barely hits 90, even struggles to get there.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
This is definitely an issue. My wife's Note 7 mirrors my results. We still have not sent our Note 4's back on JUMP trade-in and they both still absolutely fly on Speedtest. It is not a router configuration issue (I am very competent and have my CCNA). My speeds are fine on my desktop, 2 laptops, and a tablet. Furthermore, when you said yours "struggles" to get there, that is exactly how it seems, the downstream test is jumpy and jerky, like a car that needs a tuneup.

I hope that this is merely a software issue and not a hardware problem. I am confident that you, me, and my wife are not the only 3 people experiencing this.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] mardukeme:
Did you check thr link speed for your connection? If you go to settings open up your Wi-Fi settings, then tap on your connection it should give you the link speed. My Note 7 is connects between 65 - 195mbps, while my Note 4 connected at 351mbps. Not sure why the older phone has a better connection speed.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
I wasn't saying that it's not a hardware issue, and I also wasn't suggesting that a router issue would be your fault. In this case, CCNA does not apply. You're comparing a Note 4, with 2 year old hardware, against the Note 7, with the latest 802.11ac chipset available. This invalidates your direct comparison, and further points back to a possible router/firmware issue specific to the chipset inside the Note 7. Don't believe me? Take a look around the HTC 10 forums at all the WiFi issues people have there. Poor signal strength, poor range, high ping, packet loss, goes on and on. And going back to your CCNA, you know it doesn't take much for a handshake to get out of whack and issues to arise. Hell, I had to install a DD-WRT Linksys router in my office after Cisco's latest enterprise firmware to our WAPs completely obliterated the ability for my S7 Edge to connect.

I've had no WiFi issues at home, Verizon FiOS (150/150) + Netgear 802.11ac router, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 2013, Galaxy S6, Note 5, S7 Edge, HTC 10, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, etc.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] rudbwoy:
Y'all got me scratching my head and searching around. Found this. But honestly, as soon as your Note 7 is attached to your home router, you should be getting the same speed if not faster than your older device. Well, it were me.... I'd power cycle the router, make sure it's the only WiFi connected device and then do other isolation troubleshooting. Shouldn't have to be that way though. Plug and play...not plug and pray.
