So you flashed the joying firmware twice, used the RST button and uninstalled any google play services updates?

Don't connect the unit to the internet since it will automatically update play services in the background. You have to disable automatic update in titanium backup for play services.

I manually updated my play services to a not too old version, so that all apps are able to run.
[Android Head-Units] :
No I just did that I said in previous post. I just need bluetooth, android and apps, and Radio works, and In september version is perfect for me. I'll try next update maybe december or 2018 january. If it does not works. I'll come back to september update again :D
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
The microphones are NOT in parallel. You're reading obsolete information about crappy MTC units.

These have completely separate microphone inputs on the DSP, and the one being used is going to be selected based on whether or not the external microphone is detected as connected.

The most common cause for microphones not working on these, is not having the microphone plug fully seated in the jack. The last "click" takes a bit of force to reach.
[Android Head-Units] swanie2000:
If your right,

" and the one being used is going to be selected based on whether or not the external microphone is detected as connected."

How does that explain both microphones not working? If I somehow do not have the rear connected, than the front panel microphone would be selected be default. I am 100% certain that neither of them are working at the moment.

I will pull the unit from the dash on the weekend, and separate the two.

I believe I ohmed out the mic's when I was in there doing the cooling mod, but decided to not cut the wire on the front mic.

I remember considering it, but I didn't do it.

You are right, I did have a MTC Joying radio, and I did cut the front mic from that unit, in favor of a new rear jack for an external microphone.
[Android Head-Units] Nightmare[ITA]:
Allright, if that works for you, there's no need to update anyway. Never touch a running system!

Made the same mistake, but mine wasn't really working anymore so w/e.

Did you had no problems downgrading?
[Android Head-Units] :
No my friend. The downgrade it looks like upgrade, just put my pen drive and the process started.
[Android Head-Units] Nightmare[ITA]:
Allright, thanks for the info. I think i'm gonna downgrade too, since i really rely on the NoKill Mod.
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
In fact, this is the ONLY thing that can explain both microphones NOT working.

When it detects that the external microphone *is present*, then it switches *exclusively* to the external microphone, except that if it is not fully seated, it won't work -- so you have NO working microphones.

If they were wired together, then the internal would continue to work at all times.

And yes, I have actually observed this happen first hand. If the external is not fully seated, then NONE of the microphones will work.

Today I replaced my built in antenna, because the GPS quality with GPS-mouse wasn't comparable with the built-in one.

Now the GPS quality is back to awesome :victory:
[Android Head-Units] edit:
Has anyone tested Viper4Android and Sofia NoKill mod on the 6 November firmware build?
[Android Head-Units] Nightmare[ITA]:
Not yet, if you talk about the september NoKill mod on November ROM.

I don't have time at the moment to fix issues in case something would go wrong.

Anyone having problems with random disconnects from Wifi hotspot? I had this issue with October update and the same with Nov update. Sometimes the unit stays connected to my phone's hotspot for straight 2 hours, sometimes it drops the connection every couple of minutes. Have to turn wifi off and on again to make the connection again...
[Android Head-Units] ZoSo028:
Having the same problem from the last couple of updates as well. My unit will usually reconnect itself after a short period of time, but it occasionally interferes with the functionality of certain apps I use, since it is frequently connecting and disconnecting. Hope somebody can help us with this.
[Android Head-Units] jojorios:
I have noticed that as of the past week I have been having the same exact issue. I have a Galaxy Note 8 and use either samsung music player or rocket player and both programs do it. I also had to pair the head unit back up to my phone twice as if it forgot the pass code.
[Android Head-Units] btrax:
Hi buddies :)

Is it possible to connect the Built-in VW GPS antenna with the HU ? I'm wondering that because some of you talk about GPS antenna and Joying Antenna (joying-gps-mouse)
[Android Head-Units] KlaverBoer:
Yes. That is possible. You will need a converter cable. I have connected my Skoda's GPS to the Joying unit.
[Android Head-Units] btrax:
Do you have any reference or link? The quality is better?
[Android Head-Units] derschnelle:
I use this one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B006QTPY5A/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1

On my Passat B6.

For me the quality is much better with the built-in GPS. In the attachments you can see the difference between built-in and GPS-mouse for me.

Interesting, wonder which unit that is. Would be nice if they brought it to the Intel units, but this might be a new prototype or something? Seeing that it runs a 4x Cortex A9 at 1.6 GHz with 2 gigs of RAM, I don't think they have any HU for sale right now with these specs...

Im also having problems installing your Radio mods.

Wrote about it in the other thread: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72132259&postcount=781

maybe u can take a look at it? [MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION] <3
[Android Head-Units] BassRareba:
Yup, my issue was the same :D
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I changed all the install.bat files.

I'm still puzzled though.

My scripts do not delete files. They copy the radio apk to an radio.apk.old file.

Then the new modded apk is copied to the folder, which means that it overwrites the original file.

It can not occur that the file no longer exists (that is as the script should work)

Anyway: please download the zip again and please try again.

Edit: If it doesn't work again please copy the output from the terminal window.

what volume control apk? i know i am having issues with stock volume control on 5.1 havent checked on android 6. video below shows my volume issue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTbhBR5s8JU
[Android Head-Units] AssassinsLament:
I tried to explain this at joying's user forum, Basically:

The way Joying implements volume control is different from normal Android devices. The issue is that the MCU is basically a separate device from the Android device, and so anything that controls the android system's volume, does not control the MCU's volume (it only controls the stream's volume). The reason Joying's software keeps maxing out android's system volume is that it needs the stream to be at max as then it uses that as an input that streams into the MCU and out of the MCU's outputs (RCA and speaker wires). The volume knobs on the headunit control the MCU's volume directly and does not control Android's system sound volumes. An example would be something like your headunit is like a dvd player, and it streams out to a Receiver which is like the MCU, then on the MCU, you can control the volume, but only it only controls the volume of it's outputs. So it's like you're using the remote to control the volume but it's only controlling the volume on the dvd player, and not the actual receiver. And of course Joying has software that is telling the dvd player to keep sending out at max volume because it needs that as an input.

I made a mod that stops Joying's software from changing android's sound levels, but mod is only meant to be used by people who use external usb dacs. The usb dacs are seperate outputs that do not use Joying's speaker or RCA outputs, and this they need the volume to be controlled by android (which Joying's software won't allow because any change you make, Joying automatically maxes the sound afterwards). What my mod also does is it allows the user to control android's system sound level with the hardware knob/buttons.

If you're using the Joying outputs, then my mod probably isn't suitable for you.
[Android Head-Units] dominicanodcora:
so there is no way to fix this issue? what i am trying to do is modify their steering wheel control since it controls their volume and try to make it long range remote. something like what stetsom long range control works but they use IR which our android radio does not have IR.
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
Isn't ARM A9 hella old anyway?

Could it be that they never updated the CPU info and it's running on the Sofia ones? A9 @ 1.6 would match with the RK3188 I believe.... That would match with their older generation units running 7.1.1?

[Android Head-Units] AssassinsLament:

Yes, you can install Stericsons's busybox from the Play Store... and it should work fine.

Have you disabled PowerAmp's "Direct Volume Control" setting? It's inside PowerAmp's settings->Audio->Advanced Tweaks. Also, make sure it's working by playing something in PowerAmp, then opening Viper4Android and going to settings->driver status, and making sure it says "Processing" is "Yes".

Does no one know if the november update will mess with the no-kill mod?
[Android Head-Units] TransAmMan:
Since the beginning of Android 6 on the joying units there is a problem with Google maps. It would work fine after a reboot but if you shut the car off and the radio went into deep hybernation mode, Google maps would not connect to your location when you started your car again. The only way to get it to work is reboot the radio again. This was FINALLY fixed in the September 1 update. Google maps worked great but Bluetooth would randomly disconnect and reconnect every 5-10 minutes (super annoying when you use the Bluetooth connection as a trigger on your phone to turn on/off wifi Hotspot). The latest October update claims to fix the Bluetooth problem and it did. Bluetooth is now rock solid, but the Google maps problem is back.........super frustrating. So now I have to decide if I want stable Bluetooth or Google maps.

Note: the GPS problem only seems to affect Google maps. Here We Go, Sygic, and others I've tried haven't had any issues.
[Android Head-Units] gtxaspec:
Due to Google play services problems. Unfortunately the solution is to install custom recovery and install recent opengapps.
[Android Head-Units] Beatwolf:
All this can be fixed by installing no-kill mod and and a bluetooth connection manager. I haven't had any problems since that.

Latest update for JY-TL124N2

I have the JY-TL124N2 and it is now stuck in a boot loop at the "TOYOTA" logo. I have the 5/25 firmware on it and I can't seem to find the download link for the latest firmware update. It is discussed at: https://www.carjoying.com/blog/joying-head-unit-after-sale-support/59.html, but there is no download link for the version discussed. There are links for other versions, but not the newest.

If anyone has the link, please help.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
There are two sections after the first "announcement":

Kindly Warning:

If your car stereo Android MCU version is 5.25(as below picture)or the MCU version is more earlier , you need to use 2017.5.25 mcu to update it, please click Here to download .

And:

If your car stereo Android MCU version is 9.20 (as below picture )or the MCU version is more later, you need to use 2017.10.25 mcu to update it, please click Here to download .

I think that is quite clear ;)

No, both are normal, complete firmware update ROMs, but in this case include the mcu update, dependent on the version you start with.
[Android Head-Units] wanb1i:
Oh, ok, I totally miss-read that as JUST the MCU update, my bad! Thanks for the clarity! So, If I have the 5/25 update installed, I need to use the 1st one, right?
[Android Head-Units] edit:
Don't update to the latest firmware because there is a known issue with BT audio streaming and latest version of Google Services...

When the latest version of the Google Services is installed the BT streaming is choppy... they promised that they will fix this in a future update...

Apparently they could not test the latest version of the Google Services in China because it does not work there.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you are right.

If you look at the images in the blog, you see for the first image: "MCU Version 2017-05-25" and "App version 2017-07-05".

This means it is the July version.

The second image shows "MCU version 2017-09-20" with "App version 2017-09-01".

This is the September ROM (and then why is the MCU version 2017-09-20? A typo? Should that have been 2017-08-20?)

So based on this "image analysis" I would say that you with your 25 May ROM would indeed need the 5.25 version.

But no guarantees.

Updated to the latest firmware...

The RDS info is now working fine, at least here in Portugal, but the AF function still don't work....

The light screen adjustment still not dimming enough when turning on the lights. At night the screen is still very bright. Have to use external app..

One thing that is a little annoying, listening to the radio and using waze at same time, with the waze indications the radio is faded, when using poweramp and waze, with the waze indications the music on poweramp is paused and then resumed.... any way to fix this, keep poweramp music in background ??
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
If a mediaplayer is programmed according the android standards than there is a certain intent able to do that.

With the radio there isn't as it is actually not android, but a piece of hardware accessed by a non-standard piece of software: the radio app. So the SofiaServer apk takes care of that (but quite clumsy).

With android mediaplayers (also including streaming players like Deezer and pandora and the like), Waze should have a config option like "pause media player" or "temporarily reduce volume mediaplayer" or the like to send that specific standard android command/intent. Sometimes the mediaplayer has that as well.

Please check that (I don't use Waze or Poweramp).

See pictures attached

any idea how tofix this?
[Android Head-Units] edit:
It does that because It thinks that you have a backup camera installed. See if you can disable that from CarSettings app and if not you might revisit de wire installation and cut the reverse wire or the back camera wire... can't say for sure because I have a camera and no sensors (back or front).

Also can't tell more since you did not tell us if the headunit is reading the reverse command from a CAN box or a wire.

How can I downgrade to the September version?
[Android Head-Units] edit:
Take the September android 6 firmware zip archive and unpack it on a usb stick, insert the stick and the unit will downgrade.

I recommend following my upgrade/reflash tutorial though from my Q&A thread... lots more info there and explanations.
[Android Head-Units] tOz666:
Sadly, my unit keeps rebooting every once in a while with this new November update (installed for 6 hours, got 3 unexpected reboots), and never did that with the September rom.

White screen and then the unit shuts down, and I have to reset it using the reset/power holes on the screen.

So maybe, i'll switch back if this continues.
[Android Head-Units] Hilari0:
Seems like they just can't get the Android 6 upgrade right. Seems it's best to just stick to Android 5.1 until the next generation of these head units.

I guess in the future whenever they get to the point where Project Treble is implemented, then we might be able to do more with the ROMs. Probably in 4-5 years, LOL. :D
