Mtcdialer 1.2.2 apk released 😊

[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
Good Evening folks,

since google update you have to use the 1.3 or the 1.2.3 mtcdialer.

Uninstall previous version and wipe the cache before and reinstall one of this.

Then use google assistance to make a call, e.g. call mom and press the button with "call" until a window open, asking for using which dialer app should be used. There choose "mtcdialer even".

(You remember, this was previously done with google app himself.)

However, one little Horse shoe it has:

Beside the bt connection, it need now an active network. For this use your phone hotspot function. And don't worry it seem only there is a need for network having available is registered but without using it.
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
Maybe your HU has a wrong bt module
[MTCD Software Development] Piramidowy:
How do I know which module is goor or bad?

There is option to change BT module type in HU settings but I don't know which module is physically installed and which modules are compatible with btdialer.
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
This info is available in the factory setting. It is about the hardware:

Bluetooth-Modul MD725 dysfctl under A8 & above.

Bluetooth-Modul SD-968 dysfctl under A9 & A10
[MTCD Software Development] Piramidowy:
Currently SDIO-AUTO is set in factory defaults. If I set MD725 or SD-968 I'm unable to connect to HU BT.
[MTCD Software Development] Dr.franz95:
hope someone can help me, I have a px6 car stereo I have installed various versions of mtcdialer all versions works but only from Google app when I try to make a call with the command "ok Google" the call does not start, why? Thanks 😊
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
Hi All,

I have a Dasaita Vivid 10 HD head unit. with the default version of Google app version 10.65.11.21 when i ask google to call a number in my contatcs it keeps saying " sorry, i didn't understand" and does nothing

I have MCTdialer 1.2.3 installed and have also tried with 1.3.0 with the same results, cleared cache each time before uninstall and reinstall.

With the latest version of the google app 13.2.19.23 a call button pops up and only dials if i manually press it after selecting MCTdialer as the default call app.

I obvioulsy would like it so i dont have to manually press anything and just use voice to make the call.

any ideas how to fix this?

edit, sorry my head unit is MCTE_HA_V3.78_1
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
Hello, you can try it according to the video tutorial, it is recommended to use Google Assistant 0.1.187945513, you can find it on Apkmirror:
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
Thanks for your help but no luck, im thinking it may have something to do with which version of the google app is installed?

I already had the google assistant version installed thats in the video.

Still get the "Sorry, i dont understand" with the older versions of Google i have tried and only the latest Google app version 13.2.19.23 seems to bring up the phone icon with call button. unsure if theres others that may work?
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
Here uses 8.55.6.21.arm64, follow the video:
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
hi, i cannot install any old versions of the google app for some reason, i uninstalled the latest version which then defaulted to factory version of 10.65.11.21

when i try install older versions it gives me App not installed message after trying to install
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:

[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
Hi Pavel,

Did all that and still no luck, it doesnt seem to let me install any versions older than the factory version.

cannot delete google fully but i have uninstalled updates to go back to 10.65.11.21. this version just says "sorry i don't understand" when i try make a call with voice.

the closest i get is the latest version of google pops up a phone button but i have to manually press it for it to dial with mctdialer.

I had everything working in my other car with a Dasaita MAX 10 HD, but since the car was destroyed in an accident i cannot remember what versions of the software it came with, bought it in dec 2020
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
Unfortunately, I can't think of anything else. Perhaps try to install Hal9k mod5, Francesco Francy has it installed. I recommend you buy the Mod 5.02 update, the accuracy of gps is now 1 meter, originally 12 meters. It's perfect.
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
ok i got it working flawlessly, grabbed a random version of google being 11.4.9.21.arm64 and it works.

no more pushing a button i just say "call xxx" and it dials instantly.

there maybe newer versions which work but since i got it working im not going to mess with it any more
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
dont really want to mess with roms, only just bought the unit and it came with Vivid .

never messed with roms before so scared it will break something.
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
It was only a recommendation, if everything works for you, then of course stay with the factory firmware. Especially since you put voice control into operation, congratulations.
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
What are the benefits? Is it worth changing to a different rom?
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
Read all the benefits and improvements in the thread: Spoilee: List of changes. Everything is beautifully described here. Or check out Alex's videos, I'm maximally satisfied, but it's up to you.
[MTCD Software Development] kill_one:
hi guys what is the latest exact version of the google app that still makes MTCDialer work? Thanks all
[MTCD Software Development] kill_one:
@rabenkind where do i find these versions? thanks
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
Hi, no idea i just grabbed a random one after having no luck and it works flawlessly. Version i'm using is 11.4.9.21.

i wasn't brave enough to try others since this one was the first one i got to work after being frustrated for weeks trying to figure out why it wouldnt work.
[MTCD Software Development] kill_one:
and does it update to the latest version automatically?
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
I disabled google play after getting and updating all the apps i need and use. Haven't had an issue with it updating.
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
this for mtcdialer 1.30: post #469

the 1.2.3 Version is in this thread here.

Some post before #469, so far I remember.
[MTCD Software Development] kill_one:
so this is the only way not to update it, but should you also install an older version of google assistant?
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
apkmirror has the different google versions
[MTCD Software Development] yidliu:
Hi, I want to use MtcDialer with google assistant, but I can't find the way to set this app as default dialer on it. Can you tell me how to set it on google's setting?
[MTCD Software Development] kill_one:
google app version 11.4.9.21 it asks me to select mtcdialer manually each time

while version 10.65.13.21 is not installed: "application not installed"

the base version pre-installed with no updates is 10.65.13.11

suggestions on which other version to try to install?

Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
i told you which one works, scroll up and download the version i have. im sure there is others but this works so im not changing it
[MTCD Software Development] kill_one:
@Pacmanpc Google app 11.4.9.21 asks me to select mtcdialer manually each time, not the same one you are using?
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
when you first install it and try to make a call you will get a pop up to use mtc dialer or the default dialer just once or always, select mtc dialer and press always and thats it
[MTCD Software Development] kill_one:
yes, I don't know why but even if I choose mtcdialer and always put me when I want to call, the choice between phone management and mtcdialer always comes up, which gives me default
[MTCD Software Development] Giomaster:
Hi everyone, I have a

DKS9880-1 PX 5 PX3 with andoid 11 on which to activate voice assistant. is there a working version of MtcDialer that works?

Because the ones I've tried so far don't work.

Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
its not mtcDialer, it is the version of the google app that stops it from working
[MTCD Software Development] Giomaster:
Thanks for the reply.

But I don't understand.

If the problem was the version of google app why mtcDialer tells me: "No Bluetooth found" and closes?
[MTCD Software Development] Pacmanpc:
unsure why it is saying bluetooth not found, maybe your bluetooth module isnt supported in android 11?

Go back and read my previous posts about getting MctDialer to work, the newer versions of the google app itself which has nothing to do with MtcDialer dont work hence you cant use MtcDialer.

You need an older version installed for it to work. i had to uninstall the version of the google app installed on my head unit and find an old version in order to get MtcDialer to work.

I have previously listed the version im using but there maybe newer ones. I just didnt want to waste more time going through them all so stuck with the first version that worked.
[MTCD Software Development] skezza:
Does this still work on PX5? Does it work on PX6?
[MTCD Software Development] ojerez01:
Hi, I bought a Dasaita PX6 with Android 11. Is it possible to install MTCDialer or a similar app to be able to make calls with the Google assistant? Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] pheff:
I'm in the same situation. I have a Dasaita PX6 with Android 11 and I can't make calls with the Google assistant. With MTC Dialer you could? Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] k3s4:
is there any version of mtcdialer with dark mode ? background with dark colors..
[MTCD Software Development] mikrocefal:
Hello,

Mtcdialer has not been working for several weeks. Is there a new version of mtcdialer? how to make voice call work ?

for dasaita px6 max10 1024/600

Merci

solution :

reinstall google factory version

android system view: factory version

block google play auto update

install: mtc dialer 1.2.3

install google 11.4.9.21

install google assistant

start a call choose mtcdialer
[MTCD Software Development] pdkreitler:
This is awesome. Thank you!

Can anyone point me toward some instructions of how to downgrade the Google Play Store, Play Services, and Assistant? I have a MTCH (I believe) PX6, running Android 11.
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Yes, thank you. I am worry about this phone number notation. Are you able to call this number using stock MTC Bluetooth app?
[MTCD Software Development] Grumpycat62:
Yes, I just tested to ensure that I was able to.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Continues to stall when attempting to dial via voice. Nothing happens.
[MTCD Software Development] Floston:
f1x

And what was the reason for choosing True Contacts or is this also your application?
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
MtcDialer 1.2.1 has been released.

[MENTION=7562259]apollo1976[/MENTION] [MENTION=3418391]Nomader0[/MENTION] [MENTION=5820739]Grumpycat62[/MENTION]

Actually, change does not concern only True Contacts. It works for Google Contacts app (and I suppose for other contact apps) as well. I am not the author of True Contacts :).
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
You can also create one click shortcuts to make phone calls. For example you can use xShortcut FREE to add "Direct Messaging" shortcuts of your frequently used contacts to your screen (you can also group them in a folder). Look at the attached screenshots:
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
Of course you can use MTCD Tools in a similar way to use a key from your steering wheel to direct call your wife ;)
[MTCD Software Development] apollo1976:
Perfect f1x !!!

With these latest changes and reading contacts from Google Contacts the app is perfect !!

Thank you !!! You are great !!!
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
Hi @f1x,

I made a small change that may help others to better match the contact names.

In my case lots of contacts have trailing spaces in the name (don't know how this happened) and those contacts were not recognized by voice.

Now I can call them too...

Please review :)
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Great. Thanks for your contribution :). I will release a new version this evening.
[MTCD Software Development] Dec64:
[MENTION=7621504]f1x[/MENTION], Is it at all possible to get this working with android auto? Yes it currently allows you to voice call, but it does not work with the phone section of android auto nor does it show history of calls even if i set up google contacts.
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
MtcDialer 1.2.2 has been released.

10 minutes ago I finished working on application that puts calls history to Android Auto. Unfortunately, Android Auto use its own embedded dialer which checks sim card availability. I hope that Google will change it in future releases.
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
[MENTION=7621504]f1x[/MENTION]

ok i tried mtcdialer.. i was able to follow your advice to make it default dialer.

BUT, for the love of god i can't make it use truecontacts..

how do you choose which contact app to use?

by the way i noticed that single named contacts work fine with voice.. the problem is for contacts with full name that have a space between them.. i guess
[MTCD Software Development] Dec64:
Amazing, thanks a lot for your work on these apps.
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
Did you use the latest version? In version 1.2.2 the extra spaces found in contact names are removed.

Also the integration with Contacts applications is from version 1.2. There is no setting, just that you must select to send sms to the chosen contact, not placing a phone call... At least for the moment, this is the only way to integrate Contacts with bluetooth call.
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
no i have not tested latest:

but for example:

if i have a contact: "john" and i say John, it will work

if i have a contact: "john smith" and i say John smith, a msg will appear saying that john smith was not found
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
Exactly this kind of problems were fixed in the last version. Please try the new version.
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
perfect, i will in a few hours!!

thanks mate
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
Ok I installed latest.. I managed to use all the functions, using SMS to call and also using the call log and making shortcuts at home screens.. those is wonderful.

But I am sorry to say that voice in latest version is even worse. Now single names are not found..

They are recognized but a popup says that the xxxxx contact was not found

I am not sure if the reason is that my contacts are in Greek. But in previous versions Greek single name contacts worked
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Could you please provide some examples what was recognized (what was displayed on popup 'xxxx contact not found), what you expected to be recognized and what was at phonebook (please lookup your phonebook entries in MTC Bluetooth app). Thanks in advance.

P.S. What is your system language? Greek? Your mobile is Android based or iOS based?
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
Wait I am a bit confused.. I thought that MTC app contacts were not used, and that mtcdialer is using google contacts directly.. am I wrong? That is why I did not sync the MTC app with my phone.. just to be sure

M y phone is Android and my locale in the headunit is Greek.
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
MtcDialer does not use Google contacts. It fetches contacts from the phonebook. If you want to use Google contacts is better to use google voice assistant (ok, google).
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
If mtcdialer is using contacts from MTC app, then I can understand why only single named contacts only work. It is because the MTC app when syncing joins the name and the surname eg: "johnsmith" instead of "John Smith"
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Honestly I prefer to use Google Voice Assistant instead of relying on fetched phonebook. As you said - sometimes names are fetched in really weird way. If you are using the same Google account at your mobile and HU, then contacts should be synced automatically.

BTW. I had the same issue with names on PX3. When I updated to PX5, names are fetched correctly.
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
I just tried it. We are correct. The reason is that names are joined in MTC app. Single names work fine.

I had this problem on PX3 and PX5.

Is there a way to make your app use Google contacts directly?
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
I think the Google Voice Assistant is way better for voice selection of caller. You could not use Google Voice Assistant?
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
No I can not .. most of the time when I say call xxxxxxx it opens a search page :)

Your app is more reliable :)
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Have you tried to create an action in MtcdTools for launching Google Voice Assistant?

1 Create a new action

2. Create a new start intent action

3. Enter parameters:

[X] Activity

Intent action: android.intent.action.VOICE_COMMAND

Intent Flags: 268435456

then bind this action to the desired keys sequence.
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
I can do that but whenever I say call john Smith a google search is offered with " call john Smith".

It doe not understand that I want to dial. It thinks I want to search

I guess the problem is Greek contacts..

I just added an English name and it dials it OK.. Greek names no

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

OK MTC dialer works finally

The problem was the sync in MTC phone app.. I unpaired my phone and paired again. Now the name appear correctly with spaces. And MTC dialer recognises everything correctly. Thanks mate
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Glad to here it!
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
This is happening because Ok Google has limited functionality when you set up the system locales to something else instead of English. Same is happening to me if I globally set Romanian.

As I said in a previous post, it will be nice to have the locales set just for MtcDialer...

I actually built a custom version for personal use that uses "ro_RO" inside MtcDialer ;)
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
If I set the voice search to only Greek then OK google is not supported.. only manually by pressing the voice search.

I agree about locale.. because now that I test some of my contacts it gets confused with mixing Greek and English, specially some words that exist in both languages..
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
Hey f1x,

Take a look at the following post :)

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72833176&postcount=1400
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
Here is a trick that may help you on OK Google voice calls. You can look at what text it shows when you pronounce your contact name and put that text as a nickname for that contact :)
[MTCD Software Development] otaviobonder:
I'm trying to call to a contact using Google Now, but every time Google tells me that I need to sync my contacts with Google Now. Even if I press to sync the contacts, it asks me again. My contacts are synced with my HU. If I open the MTCDialer app and say the contact name, it calls it. I've already selected MTCDialer as default phone app in Google Now.

Does anybody have a clue on how to fix it?
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
Google Now is searching the contacts from the Contacts app, not the users downloaded from your phone over Bluetooth app. After it matches a contact in the Contacts app it will use MtcDialer to place the call to that contact's phone number.

If you launch the MtcDialer on its own, then it is looking for the contact in the Bluetooth contacts.
[MTCD Software Development] otaviobonder:
Is there a way to make Google Now search the contacts from the Bluetooth app or should I download the Contacts app and sync it? I don't know if I have the Contacts app installed
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
No, you can't tell Google Now to look in your bluetooth contacts.

The simplest way is to export your contacts from your phone and import them to your google account used on the headunit.

I'm using google account on my phone, so that's how I've done. If you don't have an android phone or don't use a google account for storing the contacts, you must figure out how to export your contacts.

On the phone I'm using my personal google account and on the headunit I have a different google account.

I think it is a best practice not to use your main google account on the headunit, because it can contain personal/sensitive data and you don't want the service personnel to have access to that data in case you need to leave your car in the service. Also it is a good ideea to remove your google account from the headunit prior leaving the car in the service, and re-add it when you take your car back. That way there will be no contacts/phone numbers on the unit during service, but will be synced back when you re-add the account.

But let's get back... I logged on to https://www.google.com/contacts on my computer using my main account, selected the most contacted persons and created a new group for them (for example: "in Car"). Then I used the export command (from the "more" menu) as in the attached screenshot, saved the file and logged out from that account. Finally I logged in again using my car's google account and imported the contacts from the saved file.

Once in the car, the contacts automatically got synced over the Internet.

You may find other ways to get your phone contacts synced to your Contacts app, but this is how I've done.
[MTCD Software Development] otaviobonder:
Ok, I opened the contacts app and the contacts weren't synced (I use the same Google account on my phone and headunit), so I synced them, now they appear in my contacts app.

But, it didn't solve the problem. Besides having my contacts synced, Google Now keeps asking me permission to access my contacts. Even if I give permission, the same screen appears again asking for permission again.

So, the problem is not with my contacts app.
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
The problem with Google Now not getting proper permissions to access the contacts has nothing to do with Contacts app (which has the rights, as you can see the contacts), nor with the MtcDialer app.

I don't have a solution for you with that permissions problem (never had that problem), but you can try deleting the Google Now cache/data from the Settings > Apps menu and try again.
[MTCD Software Development] OnkelDeffe:
Unfortunately I can not use Google now because I don't have any internet connection. The contacts imported with the BT app can not be found by MTCDialer because there is no space between name and surname :/ Is there any way to use your tool offline? (Or edit the BT contacts by hand?)

Thx in advance

Detlev
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
[MENTION=3418391]Nomader0[/MENTION] had similar issue with lack of spaces in contact names. As far as I remember it was enough to unpair the phone, pair it again and afterall fetch contacts.

If you do not have the internet connection, you must check if your language can be used offline.
[MTCD Software Development] OnkelDeffe:
I will try the unpair / pair again method this evening ;) Before installing it in my car I downloaded Google german speech recognition and MTCDialer got the correct name ;)

Thx

Detlev
