About 15 seconds. It's not that bad actually. I do like the instant boot with the standby feature, but then the GPS and Google Maps is borked.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
Ok, that's usable. So, what settings did you change to get that setup?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bogdi1988:
Car settings app, advanced, dormacy settings.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
So, does the hu remember anything after shutdown, music track, maps, etc?

Does tasker restart?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bogdi1988:
I don't use Tasker but everything else stays as before the shut down
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
Cool, I'll set that up in the morning and let everyone know how Tasker functions after shutdown.

I have been having issues with my gps as well. Weather apps, waze and google maps. Have to reboot the unit to get it to find a signal.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dcman008:
I have an issue with Google maps dropping location. It can take up to 30 mins to relocate. But if I open GPS Status or Waze they know where I am. Rebooting does not seem to fix it. Other issue I have that may be connected is that if I change Google Location Setting it will always revert back to High accuracy mode. My thought was that maybe Google Maps depends to much on WI-FI, cellular etc. for finding location.

I used Chinese version of Settings.apk to set screen off after one minute of inactivity.

After that I replaced Chinese Settings.apk with the Android default Settings.apk found in priv-app folder of January 4th update.

No matter what I set for timeout the screen still always goes off after one minute.

The other changes I make with Android default Settings.apk seem to stick and work.

I have just about no space behind my Radio in a Skoda Yeti. Anyway; last night I gave it a last shot and I pressed really, really, really hard on the plug and suddenly it clicked into the radio and thereafter the connection was perfect. Now I dont think I will ever get mine out again. Did your plug click? Before I thought that my plug was fitted correctly, but after it clicked I had no doubt anymore.

Regards

Kurt
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dayanandgp:
Oh..No click on my unit .. Maybe i should press more harder. Right now today morning it is working fine. I have to remove the unit again next week to connect OEM GPS antenna.

I will check if there is a click and also test it till my GPS adapter arrives. By the way which plug are you pressing ? Is it the the one connected to Headunit

or the one connected to cable on the other side (i mean vehicle cable) ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Kurt Lund:
It is the cable going into the radio. It was a noticeable click. I actually removed the cable strip which sits near to the plug. That actually makes it easyer to fit the unit afterwards because the cable harness becomes "wider and flatter"

Regards

With these devices seemingly having a different Bluetooth implementation to previous ones does the issue of phone call audio not being routed to External USB DACs/Soundcards issue still exist? I'm guessing the radio audio still wont.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] vassandrei:
Hey all I'm having a problem: my unit doesn't want to learn any resistive steering wheel controls... i had it on a canbus setting and I think it's stuck there or something, all the buttons resistance are stuck at 255-254... is there something I can do? I've already tried re-flashing and a factory reset through settings.. any other ideas? Is there some other MCU set of settings (like where all those 984 or something canbus related things copy every time?) I can reset manually?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
Please tell us your model so we can help.

If you have vw unit, you need to change canbus mode. For howto, watch their youtube video about the latest update.

It's a 135n2 universal 2din. I set the canbus profile to "null" but the steering wheel controls app isn't reacting to my resistive steering wheel buttons (Hyundai Solaris)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Evildropbear:
Well I got the Pumpkin Dongle to work

1. Root

2. Use PPP 3 Dongle app (with huwei experimental setting enabled)

3. Use default launcher. With Nova it doesn't work for some reason.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gustden:
Have you tried connecting one of the 2 wires to ground? Both needed to be plugged in to the unit, with one spliced to a ground connection.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] vassandrei:
I must have tried a million combinations :( the way that I have it right now (after consulting forums) is key 1 is connected to pin 4 (Hyundai Remocon pin) and pin 17 (Remocon gnd) is spliced to a main ground (like in the joying Hyundai harness) and Key 2 is unplugged.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] m3co:
My kia only uses key1
[MTCD Android Head Units General] vassandrei:
Which way do you have it connected? Hyundai/Kia share many parts. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Also is your canbus setting set to null in settings?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
My Jeep also only used Key1
[MTCD Android Head Units General] m3co:
Yes, canbus is null, as i dont use any, as where it connects the scheme is identify as "remote contl +"
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
My dongal works fine in NOVA, I think you have some other issue, not NOVA. Try connecting with the default launcher, then, once connected, switch to NOVA and see if it stays connected.

I had all kinds of issues with my Prius, so I ended up going to the Toyota Dealership and asking for the wiring schematic of the steering wheel controls. Once I was shown which wires in the vehicle plug needed to be connected, it worked on the 1st try. So, instead of relying on some forum user who may or may not have a clue about your car, go to the dealership. They'll look it up based on your VIN and give you the correct wiring.

I used key 1 & 2, I also ran a wire from the HU chassis to ground as instructed by Joying.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] vassandrei:
From the chassis? So you stuck/soldered a wire straight from the metal to a ground point?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
Connected to a screw, yes.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] vassandrei:
Thanks for the tip !! I'll give it a try and report back! :)

Does anyone else have the issue that the spotify widget in the dropdown menu is completely white and hardly readable?

Also is it possible to set a specific app to be opened when the car is turned on? I've always to fiddle around on the screen to start an app for music playback.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
i think you mean the notification area, not a widget, but yeah, I think that is a known issue. Happens with Google Play Music as well. Didn't happen on the old MTCD units, so hopefully they can fix it in a software update
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
I don't use Spotify, but that sounds like a launcher issue. Try a different launcher and see if it stops the problem.

Does uninstalling G Maps get voice response back?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Primalgeek:
External DAC?

Good morning, I've just received my new 5.1.1 2GB 32GB Joying unit and set it up on my work bench to configure before installing it in the car. My issue is that my external Behringer UCA222 DAC is not being recognized. I've used it on a few other 5+ Android units with no problem. I've downloaded and tried the Onkyo HD player and it does not see it either. I've also tried it using a powered USB hub with no success. Have any of you successfully been able to get an external DAC to work on the new Joying units?

I was hoping I would be able to send digital audio to my external processor using an external USB device.

Here is my current audio setup:

Parrot Asteroid Smart (This is going to be replaced with the new Joying unit), Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3 sound processor, Hybrid l4 dash/Sundown SAX 100.4, Hybrid Unity 6x9 doors/ Hybrid l1v2 tweeters/Sundown SAX 100.4, 2 Sundown Zv4 15's/2 Sundown SCV 4000

Thanks

Installing the December update fixes gmaps voice reply. Ok Google voice reply still doesn't work.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rhino6303:
I downloaded the gapps x86 5.1 package, placed in internal storage and used flashfire to flash the zip. Flashfire did its thing for about 7 minutes and then the head unit rebooted. No gapps appear after reboot though.

Did I do something incorrectly? Shouldn't I have apps like google play books, etc?

Thanks.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kwalsh24:
Just installed the unit in the girlfriends car. First impressions is quite well. Nicely built. Only annoyance i have is the touch sound feedback. Been digging thru the menus to see if there's a way to turn this off but can't seem to find it. Not even in the developers area. Is there a way ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bogdi1988:
It is in the sound settings in the CarMediaSettings app.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
You didn't do it wrong. What apps you get depends on the package. The Google play books, news, etc. are available in the play Store so i don't think they're in the gapps package, but I could be wrong. What I do know is that my system runs MUCH better after the the gapps flash than before. That said, my Ok Google still doesn't talk back to me.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rhino6303:
Ok. Thanks. For some reason I assumed it would install all google apps.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Kurt Lund:
That all depends on the package that you downloaded. If you chose Super or Stock you should see all the apps.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rhino6303:
I chose stock 5.1. So something must not have worked correctly. Maybe I'll download again and re-flash.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
So, remember this HU only has 2gb of memory, do you really want to fill it up with all that bloatware and s l o w i t w a y d o w n? If you bloat it out, what little performance you're enjoying will go away!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rhino6303:
Thanks for the suggestion and will take it. I'm really only trying to troubleshoot why an app isn't functioning correctly. I thought it was a widevine drm issue and downloading gapps might help as google now owns widevine.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Saiyajin:
Ok guys looks like Joying fu**ed up and forgot to include an antenna cable in their 5 m BMW extension cable. Also: after 3 mails going back and forth with the joying support, they just simply stopped responding to my questions. Doesn't look like they're interested in resolving the issue. Probably because they realized that they fu**ed up. :silly:

Need to buy an extension cable myself now.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
It has been Chinese New Year, so that might be the reason the emails slowed down.

I got a universal unit so I had to get an antenna adapter, only was $5 on Amazon.com
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Saiyajin:
You're right - maybe that's the reason why I didn't get an answer.

I have an issue with my 9" VW specific model.

I have installed with the correct adapter and there is light in the CANbus box but it won't start up in the car.

When I power it next to my PC with a 12V source everything works fine.

Anyone have any idea about what might be wrong?

The ACC cord is disconnected.

Thanks a lot,

[MTCD Android Head Units General] naplesbill:
Sounds like it could be a ground issue. Check your ground connections.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] phatass_dk:
Don't think so, my Newsmy NR5261 is running fine currently.

Could it be something with the CANbus settings in the unit?

I see that you can pick various options under dev settings.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
Check the youtube video from boy ka about the newest firmware. He explains wich can setting is right for you. I had to do the same but cant remember the correct one.

Heres the video https://youtu.be/nLqEj0cSAi4?t=19m10s
[MTCD Android Head Units General] phatass_dk:
Aha! Now that might be it. Kinda sucks that I have to take it back and forth between inside and outside for it to work but I guess I have to try a lot of settings before it will work.

Hello all,

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Sergio45:
Hi!

I found a curious behavior in the device and I would like to know if it happens to you and if there is a solution.

I have an iPhone with iOS10.2 and it is connected to the android unit by bluetooth, I play music from the Android unit itself with Spotify. Each time the screen of my iphone is illuminated by a notification or by my own action the music pauses and resumes automatically when the screen darkens again.

How I can avoid this? Does it happen to you?

Best regards.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
Ok Google doesn't talk back, I've tried everything I can think of, but no dice. The closest you can get is to install Google Launcher, then you'll get OK Google to talk back from the home screens and all Google apps, but not from ANY non-google apps.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

I use PowerAmp on my HU fir music, when my phone gets a notification, I would get the same thing. I found a setting in "Audio Focus" that I turned off and now the notification just plays over the music (same with Maps Instructions). Maybe there's a setting like that in Spotify?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] thedru13:
I have the same issue. I turn off my Bluetooth on my iPhone for this very reason. It's pretty annoying.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] naplesbill:
I just turned off media in the pairing settings and it stopped doing that.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Sergio45:
I was thinking of something like that right now.

Since i only use the bluetooh link with the phone for calls I will try to disable options that I do not use like the one you told me.

Do you also have an Iphone with Ios 10?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] naplesbill:
No, Galaxy S7 Edge. But it seems like a media key behavior which is why I turned off media to verify.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Sergio45:
I cant find this setting in my iphone, so i cant fix this now :(

Anyone whith Apple iOs 10 fix this annoying issue?

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

I reseted the network setting in the iphone and re paired with the head unit and now only pauses music when i lock - unlock the device or open an app like whattaps, aparently no more pauses when the screen is on and the device is locked.

Its something, but isnt a full fix...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] naplesbill:
You have to edit the pair settings for the radio on your phone. I don't have an iPhone to tell you how though.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Sergio45:
I am experiencing this problem.

After using the GPS and turn off the car the android head unit going to suspension state, on return it does not obtain GPS signal, a few satellites are shown in yellow but it does not connect with them (green).

After restarting the unit, its works flawless, like 5 seconds after the GPS its located with severals satellites ...

Is so annoying restarting the unit every time i have to use GPS.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KamaL:
I experienced this problem too.

I had the GPS antenna inside the dash, behind the Headunit, as many users suggested. But I always noticed GPS reception was quite poor with random loss of GPS connection.

I then attached it to the windshield next to the dashcam, and since then GPS reception has been quite flawless.

Try putting it on the dashboard to see if it helps before attaching it permanently
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Sergio45:
The GPS antenna is in the dashboard and its works nice the first use, its get severalls satellites quickly, i have seen like 14 or 16 satellites mixed with glonass and USA satellites. The problem is when the unit goes to standbay and its fixed when i restart forcing a cold boot.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KamaL:
I understand. I noticed it works best when it's as close to the windshield glass as possible.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] thedru13:
I have wired my car to use the stock gps antenna in top of my car so I get good reception. Not sure what or where the interference from.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Sergio45:
I dont think it is a problem of bad reception or interference .

More people said that the error only happens when the unit comes back from standbay. The reception when the unit makes a cold start is excellent, and I never lose the gps signal except in tunnels.

I might contact with Joying support because i think is a software related issue.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] thedru13:
Let us know what you find out.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dcman008:
I think it is a software issue. I have the same issue. But only with Google Maps as GPS status shows a solid fix. At the same time that Google Maps is "lost" Waze and Here both work fine. Rebooting the system or toggling Google location services on and off will usually fix it.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Pinkpanther9:
Thats their normal reaction. As soon they can't get away with "send your order nr", "send a pic or video", "try upgrading", they just don't answer the mails anymore. I have 2 pending problems there and they don't care a sh*t!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gustden:
From what I can tell, there is definitely a bug with google maps. Many android programs are not designed for the case in where a unit goes into complete 'standby'. I see the same issue with tasker, automate, and other programs that are closely tied to the hardware. After suspend they either die or left in an unusable state. You really can't blame Joying, when the issue is most android programs were never designed for this case. There is a huge difference between sleep on a phone, and a true 'halted-cpu' state.

For google maps, I have found if you completely kill off the process and restart maps it gets an almost instant GPS lock. Next time you cannot get a GPS lock in google maps, open a terminal and type -> am force-stop com.google.android.gms . When you restart maps, it will find your location very quickly.

I have made a package that allows you to customize the steering wheel buttons, and as part of that package is the ability to run commands on resume/restore. I added the 'force stop' of the google maps and when the unit restores and it consistently finds a GPS lock almost instantly.

There is a thread located here that explains more details -

They are on new year holiday (you would've got the out of office reply when you sent the rmail).. I too asked something and they are out till 5th February
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rhino6303:
I wonder if the app "autostarts" can be used to help change what happens to google maps when the unit sleeps?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] naplesbill:
So, i searched Google and found you don't have this option, but there is an app:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/a2dpblocker-bluetooth-stereo/id448525106?mt=8
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gustden:
Apps that start on boot have a receiver set up to take action when a broadcast of BOOT_COMPLETED is sent by the system. You can control which apps take action to this message using a program like autostarts. A boot complete message is not sent on restore.

Apps like google maps issues a 'wakelock' that prevents a device from sleeping. In devices like the Joying head unit, they basically ignore any wakelocks and go into suspend anyway. Apps reading sensors get confused as they expect a wakelock to keep the device awake. It gets even more complex with extended suspend. About the only solution is to exit the app completely before suspend, or kill the app and start fresh after a restore. Apps like tasker or automate can't be used to do this, as they suffer the same problem.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
It's definitely Google Maps issue. Go to:https://google-maps.en.uptodown.com/android/old

Download the 9.44.2 version, update your G-maps and the problem goes away. I backed the 9.44.2 version up with Titanium Backup and then stopped G-maps from auto updates.

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

That's interesting, but installing Google Maps v9.44.2 fixed the GPS issue and my Tasker works fine after suspend ever since I flashed the Full Gapps package with Flashfire.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] naplesbill:
I have not flashed gapps and I don't have this issue. I can check my Google maps version later
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
As an FYI, we flashed gapps to get Ok Google talkback & Tasker working, not Google Maps. Fixed Tasker, not Talkback. The maps issue popped up with Google maps version 9.42.3.

As an FYI, all open gapps after 2/3/17 will have an option for Google Assistant. I'm not sure if this will give us OK Google "like" voice response, but I will be flashing it as soon as it's available! Here's a link about it :

http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/02/02/open-gapps-can-now-optionally-install-google-assistant/
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Sergio45:
I'll test what you're saying about using the previous version of Maps (9.44.2).

Talking about killing the application completely with a command after a standbay, there is no task manager that is capable of killing an application completely for andoid? Even with root access?.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
If u just update the current gmaps, it isnt necessary to kill the app.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gustden:
The google maps issue was always intermittent for me. It seemed more prevalent when I shut the car off while it was still navigating. I tried several different versions (8.1.0, 9.17.1, & 9.31.0 ) before I resorted to killing the gms process on restore.

Other than fixing tasker, did you see any other benefits to flashing gapps?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
So, I can say that until I flashed the Full Gapps package, I was having many intermittent issues with ALL Google apps. That has gone away after the flash, until yesterday, when Gmaps started acting up after standby. Which was fixed right after updating it from 9.42.3 to 9.44.2.

Right now I only really have 2 issues with the HU:

1. OK Google doesn't reply with voice (except in Gmaps).

2. The left half of the notification bar is totally missing!

Overall, I'm very happy with Both of my HU's.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gustden:
What launcher are you using? I had some strange issues with their launchers. I finally ended up using Nova and OK Google works from the home page and maps, but not elsewhere. I usually have the notification bar shut off, assigned to a swipe-up to toggle it. I actually had to un-install their default launcher (JY-1-C9-Launcher-V1.0.apk) to get Nova be the default.

It's taken me a few weeks of tinkering, but I am also very happy with it. Sure beats the factory unit I had!
