[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zabi1994:
Yes and No.

Reasons to updrade:

- Better UI (smoother too)

- Multi-window support

- Better STAMINA Mode functionality

Reasons not to upgrade:

- Poor camera quality (touch to focus does not really work that well, overall image quality is a hit and miss)

- Low volume from speakers (even more so when playing videos from YouTube)

- Some CPU cores are allegedly turned off

- Image enhancement takes a while to kick in when browsing photos

It would have been a definite yes had Sony managed to bring over at least the same level of performance for both camera and sound quality in the Nougat update. Just my opinion anyway.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATZ-007:
My Nexus 5 screen stopped working/no display, however rest of the phone works including touch screen.

Please see video below.

I could use the phone by connecting it to the TV with Micro USB to HDMI MHL TV Cable Adapter. So I replaced the display Touch Screen with Digitizer + frame, however it's still the same, I.E nothing on the screen.

Any suggestion what I could do next?

Here is a short video of my Nexus 5 working but no screen/displays.

Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I thought the digitizer was under the LCD and the digitizer had to be replaced with the LCD.

This is what I replaced View attachment 4081815View attachment 4081816
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I see that you replaced the LCD, glass, and frame. Could be a problem with the motherboard or the replacement screen is defective.

Was the phone dropped?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATZ-007:
It wasn't dropped.

Screen was randomly turning off. Initially if I'd applied little pressure to the back of the phone, screen use to come back. However after few days it got worse and about a week later it stopped completely. That's when I replaced the screen.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] s01q:
hi,

is there a way or setting to change the dpi without root? especially tabs or menues are far too big

stefan
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] nan0s7:
Hey, I'm pretty sure this is a Nougat feature, but check and make sure it's not there. But in the settings app, there should be a "display size" option somewhere - probably under display, accessibility, or developer options. It may be under another option, but have a look around and let me know if you're able to find it.

EDIT: I found a guide to do this fairly easily via a different method, if you have access to a computer (and it doesn't require root).

http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/07/how-to-change-dpi-of-android-device-without-root/
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] s01q:
oh yes, adb - long forgotten. I'll give it a try. Does one know the default dpi?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] 2old4toys:
That guide may work for other devices but I can't even see where to access the Developer Options on an out-of-the-box Yogabook, let alone enable USB debugging.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] nan0s7:
Oh, sorry! To enable the Developer Options, you have to go into the settings app, and at the very bottom there should be an "about device/tablet" option, and once you're in there, somewhere near the bottom of that should be a "build number". If you tap on the build number 7 times it should enable the Developer Options (which will appear above the "about device" section in the previous screen).

Then the USB-Debugging will be inside the Developer Options.

Let me know if you have any trouble enabling that! :D

Hi, I tried AOKP-N on my D855 but WhatsApp seems to have issues with N ROMs so I reverted back to MM and flashed DU. While it does have some permissions, it doesn't seem to have as many as Privacy Guard so can someone please point me in the direction of a nice stable daily-driver ROM that does have Privacy Guard?

Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcdw:
I think any(all?) CM-based ROM use Privacy Guard.

Resurrection Remix, Bliss, AICP, XOSP, to name a few. Some Slim-based ROMs, too.

ROMs that don't have Privacy Guard may have App Ops but forget which ones.

Is the rear camera delay a software or a hardware issue?

Anyone with a rooted C500 and steering wheel controls could confirm whether it's possible to change the default buttons assignment or add extra functions such as Google Voice Control by pressing a button for example?
[Android Head-Units] dennyhiu:
So What do you think ?

I want to buy this unit for a long time, it's really a tempting deal, not only it uses the latest Android (6.0). It also have 2GB RAM and best of all, it includes modem unit inside, so I don't have to buy another USB 4G Dongle anymore. The price is relatively chaper than another brand with the same spec.

But with so many people complaining about equalizer, radio RDS, and rear camera. I want to know is this unit with $260 - 280 price tag, worth buying ?
[Android Head-Units] HVB83:

Bricked c500

My c500 got bricked, is there anything to do with it? A recovery or reflash the firmware?
[Android Head-Units] Mammûûth:
The octa core version is called the C500 plus on their website it says it will be released later.

Ownice C500 Android Head Unit:

* Internet: Support 4G LTE (Sim card) & WIFI

* OS:Android 6.0 Mashmallow

* Memory: RAM 2 GB + ROM 32 GB

* CPU: Octa Core

* Display: Digital 1024*600 / multi-touch

* UI: Unique UI design

http://www.ownice.com/Pro_Head Unit_450.html

They don't say anything about the camera delay which is a big issue in my opinion.

GPU is probably still a mali 720.
[Android Head-Units] halloj:
Super, thanks.
[Android Head-Units] HVB83:
Thanks guys, I added your remarks / questions to above topic.

[MENTION=8091039]Santty32[/MENTION] if you are really sure it is bricked, I'm afraid there is no procedure known at the moment to unbrick your device. You need to have the board replaced or have Ownice unbrick it. :(
[Android Head-Units] Akhlan:
You said "- OBD-connection through bluetooth, including Torque Pro and Dashcommander are fully working;", but for me, my device hadn't never been detected by my Torque Pro (full appli paid)
[Android Head-Units] vgabbott@gmail.com:
I assume you were able to pair using the OBD built-in apk. You also have to be on a more recent firmware release. Let's start with these questions.
[Android Head-Units] auzaas:
Octa Core is available

Ownice C500 Octa Core RAM 2GB ROM 32G is available on Aliexpress:

ownice.aliexpress.com/store/group/Ownice-C500-Octa-Core/426795_510938254.html

Apart from 8 Cores and 32GB ROM I did not notice any changes (or maybe they have not updated the info yet.)

I see 4 orders (of different models) - lets hope they will post on xda or 4pda.
[Android Head-Units] Akhlan:
Yes, I have the last update, V39 and my Torque Pro work fine on my phone (LG G4)
[Android Head-Units] bonjames1:
problem and whistle after ignition amplifier assembly

hello guys I have a c500 and ownice may turn on whenever you put the key in ok although during the previous ignition has been switched off via button?
[Android Head-Units] HVB83:
Could you rephrase that question, because I don't understand what you're trying to say? Do you mean that you've put the unit into sleepmode during your last travel and if you leave the car and start it again, the unit turns on also? I'd need to check if that is normal behaviour of the unit but I don't think the menu provides any options to change this behaviour.
[Android Head-Units] HVB83:
Updated the information in the OP, thanks!
[Android Head-Units] HVB83:
Added information about DAC-support.
[Android Head-Units] maxspek:
How do you hook the CAN-bus + and - to this unit? I do not want to use a decoder (Metra/Axxcess) as they are all garbage and do not properly decode/send an accurate signal to the unit.
[Android Head-Units] HVB83:
Depending on your vehicle, they provide a CANbus decoder when you order the unit. On my unit this works as it should, but I'm only using the decoder for figuring out when the car has started and whether or not the lights are on. I would expect more advanced cars will also have an interface for the aircon, satnav display in your console and who knows what, but I have not been able to verify this myself.
[Android Head-Units] Beatwolf:
So what is the general consensus (if there is one) -should one go for these Ownice c500 units or for the Joying with Intel Sofia?
[Android Head-Units] HVB83:
It depends what you're looking for. So far the unit is very stable with no unexpected crashes and no problems installing software like Tomtom or Torque pro, which does seem an issue with several other units out there. Speed is good; apps load without hickups and no issues with Google Maps being laggy (reading the forum threads this seems to be an issue with even the latest Joying units). On the other hand the no rear-cam until the unit has fully booted can be annoying, but this issue is said to be sorted on the 8-core unit, although no one has actually confirmed this right now.

It does seem that the newest Joying units enjoy a bit wider fanbase who are seemingly more involved in modding of these units. As software is the achilles heel on all of these Chinese units, this can be a real asset to the overal experience on your unit.

With that, I would say wait a little more until somebody is able to confirm rear cam functionality and you'll have a good unit.

Ownice C 500 problem

Hello everyone. I have a problem with my Ownice C500 car stereo bought two weeks ago from the Aliexpress. It boots, but there's no sound, radio player is not working, when I try to play music from the SD card or usb it doesn't have any sound, the panel buttons are not working, and when I entered into setting it shows ERROR at the end of the firmware version. I updated the firmware with a new version, but the problem remains. Can you help me ?
[Android Head-Units] HVB83:
Have you tried resetting factory settings? If so and the problem persists, I would get in touch with your reseller before Aliexpress buyer protection runs out and have them ship a new unit your way. Keep us posted how that works out.
[Android Head-Units] vgabbott@gmail.com:
Make sure you are taking sound from wiring harness and not the rca plugs that are for remote monitors
[Android Head-Units] R0ttenB4ndit:
This is EXACTLY what I would like to know. Hopefully someone will confirm if the rear camera issue is solved with new Ownice model.:confused:
[Android Head-Units] Flemischguy:
The rear camera issues are solved with the new Octa core radio's (the MT3562 models)

Sometimes it is confusing the C500 has 2 cpu setups, a quad core and a octa core, they could use the number C400 for the qaud core model but the number 4 is a bad luck number in china. Just like the Oneplus smartphones skipping the 4T and go strait to 5T
[Android Head-Units] Sorensonn:
Does your C500 cut in half google maps navigation voice command like mine when playing radio? When I'm using poweramp and playing mp3s it just mutes for the duration of the voice command, then resumes, but radio seems to be messing something up.

Hello,

I have a octacore c500+ unit as of today.

I can confirm that my car has an airco option in the menu and it is ON by default, but i'm not sure yet what it does.

Because i just installed the unit i'm still exploring... :D
[Android Head-Units] lottumeb:
This week i received a 500+ octacore and can confirm rear camera works without delay.

Even when android is not fully booted.

When going in reverse, it switches directly to rear camera view.

Only funny thing is this:

Rearview camera itself has colored lines in view for the distance.

from red, to yellow to green.

C500+ octacore has also lines for distance, all yellow.

So when reversing you get 2 different distance layouts in the display overlapping each other.

That looks stupid and is somewhat annoying, but at least it works. :good:

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Canbus decoder.

I read several forums about it, everyone says it is crap.

It is.

In my unit it did not register illumination.

So when car lights on, radio key lights stay off and display was still maximum bright.

So i did folowing:

For easier testing i build a test stand in my house and powered it up.

1. Measured if orange cable in canbusdecoder is ILL by connecting 12V to it.

It was.

2. Cut off orange cable from decoder, added connector pin to it and put it in the ISO cable.

3. Tested in car itself.

Works by turning on/off car lights, no decoder needed.

Next step wil be figuring out the Steering Wheel Control buttons.

In my unit all VOLUME, FORWARD and PREVIOUS buttons work.

MODE button switches between radio (short click), music player (long click) and in other modes by repeated short clicks (AV IN mode, BT mode)

This is somewhat annoying because it is very sensitive, but it does the job.

VOICE button unforunatly does not work.

Microphone works, but without this button no voice control, or no other function you could appoint to it.

I contacted the seller and asked for a wire diagram of the canbus decoder.

If i have it , we can just disconnect the decoder completly and connect everything directly in the ISO connector.

Keep in mind that my car is a Ford Focus 2 2nd generation.

It might not be possible in other cars if the car ISO connector is not fully cabled.

I would like to know from other people their experiences, problems and how you fixed it.
