Disconnect the Joying GPS cable if you can and check if Waze is picking up the location or shield the Joying GPS antenna with lots of aluminium/metalic foil and check Waze again.
[FYT Android Head Units] treel:
the unit does not connect to the external gps receiver by herself.

the app which will data from external gps need to force the connection.

I have tried to use the garmin glo on the way home today and nothing happened the gps was not connected to the unit.

I have not disconnected the internal gps because i need to disassemble the dashboard to do it but this was test one.

when i have time i can do what you have suggested but it is not in near future so maybe in 4 weeks.
[FYT Android Head Units] kampfschachtel:
Thank you for trying.

I think in this case this is the same then with USB DAC, means you have to modify the file that controls what is connected.

On the other side I just need that perfect reception in Harry's laptimer and Google maps (preffered) and/or iGo. So if the APK of google maps can be modded to use external BT receiver that will be ok too. Maybe easier?

Does any of you use also BT TMPS sensors if yes which app and manufacturer...Tyre pressure and temp is also important. Can only find steelmaster app but their sensors screw on top of Ventil, not recommended for a car that runs 300kmh....

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] with external GPS BT modules:

could someone of you who have an external GPS BT modul (like treel) try this app on joying :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mobilej.btgps&hl=en

and please check if he/she get the external BT GPS to work through this with google maps. Done some research on this and several people mentioned this app helped them to connect the external GPS to google maps (and multiple other apps) by using this app on their android tablet/phone. I don't have an external GPS yet, so I cannot try it myself.

I'm waiting on a FOBO Bluetooth TPMS Kit. It has an interesting looking "Overlay Service Feature"

More when it arrives
[FYT Android Head Units] treel:
The app is working.

It is able to connect to the external gps and get data.

If the data are used in other app im not able to tell because what i mention perviously.
[FYT Android Head Units] kampfschachtel:
Thank you.

Perfect, then it's possible to replace the joying GPS antenna by Bluetooth one.

Frist Option to make it work is to switch on mock locations in Google maps and it should work.

If not, switch the mock option off.

Here I the guide http://mapsnmaps.blogspot.ch/2012/06/using-external-bluetooth-gps-with.html?m=1

how to with the provider app which does nothing else then replacing=overwriting the internal GPS data with the external one so the apps like maps get via the standard internal way the external gps data.

Hi savvy,

the spotify shortcuts work perfect on my Huawai P8 but don't work on my joying unit. I can add a short cut but it is not displayed with the name&logo I define, its just shown as shortcut spotify and if I tip on it spotify crashes. Also if I create several shortcuts only one is shown, if I tip on it, spotify crashes...

Also not possible to add a playlist to the widget, widget stays empty while in the managed task of the spotify shortcut app the playlists are shown..

Any recomandations or work arounds to fix this?

Thank you.
[FYT Android Head Units] Savvy Tofu:
I have a feeling it does not like your launcher. Try installing a different launcher and see how that goes. I'm using Nova and so far so good.
[FYT Android Head Units] k4ever:
I'm using Nova Launcher also, and Spotify shortcuts work fine.

I did notice that the shortcuts won't get album art or names, and that the app causes Spotify to crash if you attempt to create a shortcut and you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your head unit is connected to the internet prior to creating a shortcut.

If we wanted to be able to control the levels of the mic for our device, this would have to be a function setup in the kernel level correct?

This answer sounds like a winner. I only make shortcuts when my device is connected to WiFi.

I use AutoMate which is the Android auto alternative and it works with the native Bluetooth app. You can't be Bluetooth tethering at the same time.
[FYT Android Head Units] k4ever:
AutoMate looks OK, but I like Nova Launcher Prime better. Is there a contacts shortcut app that works with all Android launchers and the default contacts app/dialer?

Does anybody else run this unit with dab? Just discovered dab audio stutters if I listen to it and start a navigation app. Happens with both Google and Waze. Joying dab box and dab app.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I would not be surprised if the DAB app (com.ex.dabplayer.pad) has to be added as well to the navi_app.txt

[FYT Android Head Units] breevesdc:
Hello. I successfully updated the Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk replacing it (rather than renaming and copying in the new file). And it it works as expected. I saw none of the random reboot issues or apps behaving strangely in my commute to work today. Thanks a million for everyone's help.

[MENTION=3076686]gustden[/MENTION]... if I may make a small suggestion. I would recommend adding some language to this post to make clear to those who install the file using ES File Explorer not to rename the old file leaving it in the same directory. You do say to "replace" the file. But I didn't take that literally. And being the noob that I am, I didn't realize that this could cause system instability or malfunction.

Thanks again for the assistance from everyone that responded.

[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The file name is different from the so called package name. Android uses the package name, not the apk name.

For example, the often mentioned "Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk" has the package name "com.syu.ms".
[FYT Android Head Units] nyogtha:
Sure. I've never seen "navi_app.txt" before though. Where can I find it? Thanks so far :)

It was available in earlier versions and not in the latest 2gb versions, I asked Joying a while ago and they said the colors are limited to the ones in the settings, which is a pity.
[FYT Android Head Units] nyogtha:
Thanks. After reading that info I'm not sure if it would help against the stuttering radio though. The sound from Google maps works while listening to dab.

Am I doing everything right here.

I installed the viper app (does it matter where the apk is located )

Installed drivers

Ran the ADB from laptop over wifi

When adjusting or turnin options on/off there is no difference.

Any ideas?

It's best to be in the /system/priv-apps folder. Looks like it's running, so I'm not sure. What app are using for music? On PowerAmp, you need to turn off "Direct Volume Control." On some other apps, you need to disable "MusicFX"
[FYT Android Head Units] bogdi1988:
You also have to change things under phone speakers under the app to notice a difference

Hmm, I downloaded poweramp and unchecked them, and now it works on spotify also.

It did not work before I tried a song in poweramp. Weird.

[FYT Android Head Units] AssassinsLament:
What's weird is sometimes you have to actually start viper4android once to get the effects working. I haven't looked into why that is, maybe the service is being killed or isn't being started at boot.

Thanks. I sent them a couple of email myself, asking if it can be be implemented as it was on the older units, or if it is a hardware limitation. They don't even try to answer the question, just basicly saying that "this is what we have now". I would never have bought the unit if I knew that I couldn't match the lighting to my car.

I'm no expert on LEDs, but I can't understand why this shouldn't be possible when we already have the option to choose so many different colors. I don't have the expertise to examine this myself, but does any one know if this can be made possible?

What do you mean by "native Bluetooth app"? The stock Joying one? Because I can't get Automate to actually dial using it.
[FYT Android Head Units] Savvy Tofu:
Yes the stock app. When I click on the caller in the automate app it asked me which app I would like to use as my default calling app. I selected the stock Bluetooth app from here and it worked. If it never prompted you, uninstall it and reinstall the app.
[FYT Android Head Units] Sergio45:
The Joying native app to make calls sucks so much. I would love to replace with another easier to use, but i think we cant replace at the moment...

Does anyone have Xposed functional with 6?
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
No, it did not work with 5 and it does not work with 6.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Who actually tried it? and how?

Did anyone try the:

Install Xposed apk but DO NOT OPEN

Run from a rooted adb shell or a rooted terminal

(su)
echo 148 > /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset
chmod 664 /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset

open Xposed apk, tab framework and install add-ons.

I did not try it myself as I'm not interested in Xposed (at all), but that is what I find on internet for X86 devices.
[FYT Android Head Units] pounce:
That's helpful. Thanks.

Just curious. Why are you not interested at all in Xposed? Seems pretty handy for hacking the units. I got some good mileage out of it on KitKat Joying units.

I think it would be interesting to work with Tasker and Xposed hooks plus maybe Termux...
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I might seem like a guy who likes to hack his unit, but actually I really don't want to. I want to use radio, music, navigation and very, very occasionally a phone call.

I modded my SofiaServer to add a whole lot of nav apps to make it possible to "break through" the radio app for instructions.

I then found gustdens mod for the custom keys. The right-side hardware buttons BAND (switching FM and AM: who does that these days?) and MEDIA did not function like I wanted it. I do not even care about the no-kill. (and my car doesn't have steering wheel buttons).

I am very curious though so just to see how easy it was I rooted my unit, modded the radio apk and from one thing came another and that includes my apk.

Joying wanting to fix Bluetooth problems

Hi [MENTION=3076686]gustden[/MENTION] et al

I've been having some correspondence with 'Mandy' at Joying and as attached. She / they are implying that they want to fix the Bluetooth problems that are clearly apparent out of the box for all of us.

From the e-mail: "That is ok, if you can help me to ask the others in XDA to contact us for their Bluetooth issue, and better to show by video"

SO

Feel free to send e-mail and or Videos (if you can catch one) to carjoying@gmail.com / Mandy (Maybe Mention me?) and hopefully we'll see some changes / another firmware update to fix.

For what it's worth from the week-end:

Is there a way to fix the GPS?

It shows 4 km/h steps and it would be great if it would show 1 km/h steps.

Thank you
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
No, not at the moment. We don't have the skilled people to dive into it and solve it.

The only way you can help us all is to write to Joying like I did and hope for the best.

So far they have a hard time understanding the problem... they ask for a video and I can't do that... I am always alone in the car and it's a bit tricky to film it.... also I should put a phone in the picture with an GPS speed app so they can see the speed difference, because otherwise I don't think they can understand the problem.
[FYT Android Head Units] dyabolikarl:
I might be able to do that using screen record with torque ODB speed vs GPS speed + GPS different widget.

I would love to figure out a way i can show them the BT transfer speed issue. Sometimes my tourque updates 25 times a second then sometimes down to 10.

It's pretty random and i wouldn't know how i could technically show how it's happening. But the transfer speeds go up and down.
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
If you can do that that would be great! Thank you! Hope they understand because the language barrier is a big problem.

That is tricky. They simply don't want to or they can't do anything about it. I got tired of asking for BT tethering and speed issues... from their point of view the unit is not capable, their software does not do BT tethering so they don't see it as a problem. I don't know what to do...
[FYT Android Head Units] kampfschachtel:
my bluetooth capabilitiy is suddenly completly gone...25th may release...

with android settings i can't switch it on anymore. tried to fix it by installing joying setting and joying BT app, with treel's modded app and with Wilk's version. same things tried with andoid settings. bluetooth is not turning on doesn't matter what I do, what a crap....

can anybody help please, that ****ing 6 driving me insane...

I am completly avoiding joying and phone app for calls and use the build in Audi OEM BT free hands kit, the phone audio signal gets into the stereo via the Audison DSP. DSP is interrupting the joyings audio output while I use the phone which is steered by the mute signal of the Audi BT kit connected to DSP too. Next step is to try to use tablet talk just as a "remote" for the phone to intiate a call from the contacts list, PM'ed gustden about it but no answer so far...he got that to work on a kitkat unit before.

AT the moment using google voice to dial, info is shown in Audi's FIS display. can live with that and audio quality is 1000times better then over joying.

Can highly recommend to invest 200-300Euro in a used top notch external DSP like Audison bit one or the Helix one ( or a new bit ten/hertz/gladen mosconi which are 350-400 but actually the old top notch are better) if you use preouts to an external amp. it enourmouly improve the sound quality of the joying due to its frist class preamps, gives you a 33 band or freely adjustable parametric EQ to fix sound issues, manages your subwoofer perfectly incl. volume control remote unit and helps to get BT phone integration right by using the OEM build in hands free kit like i done it.

you can also connect it digtally to joying via USB out and a 10$ USB to Spdif adapter and use its much better DSP. power.
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
Put the original Joying BT back... restart... BT should be back, up and running. Then try to install the Treel mod again... restart...

The same thing happened to me when I tried to replace the Radio app or when I tried to replace the BT tethering app.... one minute works... the next (after a restart usually) the app is gone...

I am curious what triggers this... what app does these checks and the minute it figures out that the original is not there... BAM....

Like I said many times... the more you try to mod the unit... the more problems you encounter.... :(
[FYT Android Head Units] kampfschachtel:
Hi edit,

That doesn't solve the problem: done it like this before and tried to fix it like this too.

I had the same issue with BT/Radio/video app appears and disappeared and could fix it by deleting and reinstalling original, then reboot and then reinstall again and then reboot. Like this they didn't disappeared anymore. And my BT OBD dongle and phone was paired and worked. Then I started the car 2 days ago, unit reboots and all apps are there but no BT is physically turning on.

Problem now is different: the apps are installed and are available but BT physically doesn't turn on any more, in Android settings it's always off and greyed out so possibility to switch it on doesn't exist anymore, doesn't matter if original BT, or treels mod or wilk's mod is re-installed. Also reinstalled the Android settings. BT is off and stays off. Tried also the same with re-installing joying settings and BT orginal same result no BT. Done the same process above which fixed the disappearing apps before but it doesn't fix that BT is physically not switching on.

In Automate it's grey out too and if you wipe down on home screen Wifi on/off is there but BT switch is gone....
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
Reading this, I am sorry to say but an wipe and reinstall is all I can think of :(

I think the AutoMate app is to blame... at least partially...

I tested AutoMate, i did not like it and after I uninstalled it I was not able to adjust the brightness anymore on the headunit.

I had to wipe and start all over again
[FYT Android Head Units] kampfschachtel:
wipe&reinstall, these words have the same charming effect on me as dentist visit or tax declaration:eek:

Not Automate is to blame for, its the totally uncoordinated and against all developer rules programmed adaption of the joying developers...i cannot code anymore but I can judge if a software is developed well or not plus all with skills here said that too, I think we all agree on that....

didn't install Automate as launcher, just as an app.

automate don't seem to like the joying launcher too...

I actually like automate, simple and effective getting all together as spider in the web without additional installation efforts....

just the google maps implementation for navigation was not my cup of tea but easy avoidable by going direct to the google maps. But their google in drive mode implementation is worth a lot hassle as it adds very good speed&red light camera warnings for switzerland which nobody else provides anymore due to high punishments for the provider trough the state. Google switched it offically off in CH but with automate its still possible to get it, totally surprised google just hide it but still fully supports it. If I get caught my joying is gone plus 240CHF fine but google will get a 7 or 8 digits fine for that....for me worth the risk compared to walking for a year and pay fines of 10k...

will deinstall Automate and reinstall BT original and see what happens,

a wipe is the last way out as this causes me several days of work till I get my unit there where it is now.
[FYT Android Head Units] AssassinsLament:
Go into the factory settings and see if the right bluetooth module is selected. I'm just guessing but it's worth a try.
[FYT Android Head Units] Savvy Tofu:
Sorry to hear it's misbehaving again. I'm using titanium back up. I back up the apps + the Nova PRO backup. When I need to do a wipe, I first install titanium and restore my apps as a batch. Takes me an hour, but mine had been behaving well for a month (for now). Yes, the default launcher is glitchy and doesn't play well with many of my apps.

All of us on the forum want the original Bluetooth functionality back.

[FYT Android Head Units] Astur_Torque:
I don't know where you live, but in my case I live in a building, 4th floor, the aerials of the Wifi don't reach very well at street level, this means downloads of 15 kb/s more or less... and unstable!! In my flat I have 300/300 Mbps, but not reach the street.

Now I don't have a particular garage or parking... I park directly on the street, so I can't stay next to the building more than several minutes

Add to this offline maps expires every month, I can't download them for whole year (I would like...)
