Waze likes to hangs after the HU wakes up (can't speak if it does the same on the December firmware).... but not every single time... I remember that I did tests on 2 or 3 firmwares and on each the issue was present. The bad part is when it hanged the only way to go forward was to go in Settings, Apps and kill the app.

Also if I remember corectly Torque also does not get along with the HU sleep.

The am force stop waze was on my script from day 1.

Yes, i know but I usually manually start the app if I need it and it's smart enough to ask if you need to resume the route.

Man, if you succeed that, you are man of the year for me !

Also please do not forget about the Pause command for the audio when the HU goes to sleep and play when it wakes up... add it to your to do list.

Yes Sir, understood, I'll go now and re-read my Q&A ! :)
[Android Head-Units] derschnelle:
Quick question, I don't know whether this was posted on here before:

Is there quick way to turn off the screen of our joying? I always have to either drop down the status bar or click through the flow-button-menu.

I already tried some apps, but they all forced the device to restart...
[Android Head-Units] LoGnarlo:
keep pressed the mute button :)
[Android Head-Units] derschnelle:
Damn, that simple? :D
[Android Head-Units] markmorto:
It really is! I did the same thing when I first got mine. If you want an app that displays a clock and not just a blank screen, check out Night Clock (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neddashfox.nightclock&hl=en). You can set the colors/fonts/etc. to match your setup.
[Android Head-Units] ste2002:
When I do it on my HU, it not just turns screen off, it goes to sleep. Probably some setting exist to rule that (damn translation).
[Android Head-Units] derschnelle:
That's what I thought too, will test that again.
[Android Head-Units] markmorto:
It's the Mute button, not the Volume button. The one with the speaker slashed out.
[Android Head-Units] Jabbott1:
Waze does the same for me on the dec firmware. When the unit wakes up waze is frozen. The return arrow and home buttons don't even work for me. I have to open the app selector thing and x out of waze to force close it. Then I can open it again and it works.
[Android Head-Units] ste2002:
1. Wow, it (screen OFF) needs mute button, not volume knob (which also mutes when depressed shortly - hence the misunderstanding), thanks. BTW, there is so many buttons to mute on my HU: volume knob, separate mute button and driving wheel control - overkill.

2. As to Waze: have you tried car settings option saying something like "Start HU with Navigation ON"?
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
You mention Settings -> Apps -> Kill Apps.

I hope you both know that the "Overview" button (as it is called), being the little rectangle top-right in your status bar, gives you an overview of the running/hanging apps.

If you swipe such an app, like Waze, to the right or left, it is removed/stopped/killed as well.

It is much faster thant the Settings ->Apps route.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

That option disappeared in the May or July version of the Car Settings, and reappeared in the November and December version.

Maybe they don't have that one in their Settings.
[Android Head-Units] edit:
Yes [MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION] I know how it works but unfortunately it never did work when Waze is getting stuck/hangs... i don't know why.

That's the reason I pointed out exactly what it takes (very annoying fiddling process) to be able to kill the app :)

This is one of the reasons I really HAD to use the Custom Keys mod, so I can kill Waze before the unit gets to sleep (besides the fact that I like to customise my hardware buttons on the unit and on top of that make use of the "eject" and the "dvd" button that were unused since there is no DVD/CD in these units.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Thank you for the feedback. This is the reason that I always used the firmware where I can use the NoKIl Custom Keys mod so I can kill Waze before the unit gets to sleep (modifying the launcher.sh, wrote in my Q&A about it).
[Android Head-Units] KamaL:
What is the most simple way to kill the Waze app before the device goes to sleep? Is it possible without the mod?
[Android Head-Units] edit:
Just wrote one post back...
[Android Head-Units] KamaL:
I read it thanks, but I mentioned if there's a method without the custom key mod
[Android Head-Units] edit:
You need to remember to always close the app before turning off the engine... I know is not the answer that you expected but there is no other way that I know of... sorry.
[Android Head-Units] KamaL:
That's what I do but as you said it's not what I'm looking for. Is there any app that can do that?

[Android Head-Units] pwood999:
Hi Guys,

My head unit is single din JY-UMS03N2 currently running July 2017 firmware. I will check MCU version before I start the process.

Do I need to go through the Sept, Oct & Nov updates before applying the December 15th update, or can I safely jump directly to the latest build ? I'm quite happy to factory reset & reload apps, because I only have Waze & PowerAmp to install.

Update - just done the Factory Reset & Upgraded ok. New issue with backlight adjustment. I have increased the range to 5-100 in the extra settings menu, but the main setting display adjustment does not work in night mode when I apply 12V to Illumination wire ?? The dropdown on the main screen does seem to adjust brightness, but nowhere near as much as before the update. Was screen cable !!

Only issue was Joying Extra Tools would not enable ADB-WiFi. Work around was to install AoW_1.1.apk

btw, the head unit has to come out of the car today for heatsink & fan install anyway !!

Thanks,

Pete
[Android Head-Units] DBestman:
I had the same ADB-WiFi problem with the latest JET. I notified [MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION] about it.
[Android Head-Units] Milenco:
I went from the July ROM to the December one recently and I experience some issues, I'm wondering if I'm the only one:

1) I use the "AUX" app to connect phones from friends for music. Since this ROM it seems it doesn't work anymore, I don't hear any sound..

2) My ODB2 (a cheap EM327 mini bluetooth adapter) can't seem to get a good connection. It's connected to my head unit but Torque can't get a proper reading from it. It gives error saying it's not properly connected to the ECU and that there are faults detected. If I connect the same adapter to my phone and have Torque running, I don't experience any issues.

Are you guys familiar with this?
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
I installed the December rom and I can not find my car model and I can not get the buttons to work.

It's a Volkswagen Passat of the year 2005. Until now it worked well.
[Android Head-Units] markmorto:
I had this too. I tried to enable ADB using:

setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555

which worked for the November update, but when I rebooted, it took a very long time, initiated a new copy of files from the ROM source, and basically wiped my user data out. I had to re-add my Google account and setup app permissions.

Once the reboot finally finished, ADB over Wi-Fi was still not enabled. Right now, I'm not sure I want to try again at this point.
[Android Head-Units] Milenco:
Enabling ADB over WiFi with the setprop command is harmless using a terminal app like Terminal Emulator. It shouldn't cause what you described.

The only risk is leaving the setting as it is. When you connect to a WiFi network anybody can access your device without any authorization. So it makes sense to disable it again once you are done..

Edit: a reboot is also not nessecary to enable ADB over WiFi. Restart the ADB daemon with the "stop adbd" and "start adbd" commands should be enough.
[Android Head-Units] markmorto:
Thanks. I did not know about starting/stopping the adbd server commands. Last time I just rebooted.
[Android Head-Units] KlaverBoer:
Hi guys, i'm using the december update for a view weeks now. They solved the bluetooth issue. The only problem i have with this firmware is the Google Maps issue which was solved in the september update but is now back. So if you start Google Maps when the unit starts up from deep sleep, it cannot find any satellites, you get the blue circle.

Is there a way to create a "workaround" for this issue by using one of the modules available in the Joying Extra Tool app from [MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION]?
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
The Joying units have a nokill list where Google Maps is on. Google maps is a bad behaving app and should NOT belong in that list.

It doesn't want to "go to sleep" and that is why the unit shuts itself down.

And another option is that in winter you battery doesn't deliver enough power. Upon starting your engine, all the other systems experience a voltage dip. If this dip is deep enough (below 9-10 Volt??), your unit will restart.

I don't have a fix for this in my app.
[Android Head-Units] markmorto:
December update keeps resetting Google services and accounts

I'm not sue if anyone has seen this, but it's officially a recurring problem for me now.

When I first installed the December update, I had to re-create my Google account, update services, etc., but when I went to reboot the stereo - first to update the CAN BUS setting, and twice to enable ADB and root the stereo, the reboot process takes about 10-15 minutes. After the reboots, my changes seem to stick, like root for example.

Basically, this is the reboot process each (3 so far) time:

1) Restarts, displays boot logo and Android logo, then optimizes apps

2) After apps are done, it reboots again (instead of starting like it used to)

3) The Android robot icon shows it's working mode w/antennas moving and some Chinese text copying files

4) Reboots again - really slow - Joying and Android logos, the whole shebang, long extended 4 minutes or more of black screen toward the end

5) Finally, it starts up, only the Google settings are all nuked. The screen prompts me to choose a keyboard and theme.

Recreating my Google account seems to get all the apps working back to normal without a reinstall, but the rest of the settings, like time, button beep, etc., all need to be redone. Restoring backups on Nova Launcher get it back to normal without any issues.

Is this something obvious I can fix from a software standpoint without reinstalling the December update? I do have root currently, but am shying away from other changes until I figure out what's going on.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

Did you select the CANBUS adapter in the Car Settings app? I had to do that when I updated to the December version. I had a similar issue and discovered the adapter was not set.
[Android Head-Units] gtxaspec:
I've got a rom that solves those issues, if you or someone wants to test, I can provide it.
[Android Head-Units] LoGnarlo:
I had your same problem with the December update. The only way to get everything back to normal was to restore the factory data before restarting and installing all the apps from the play store.

A new red-themed radio that matches the (blue) Joying look

I created an updated red-themed radio APK if you're interested. I wanted something that matched the Joying look, but in red to match my (red lights at night) VW. You can see an example here:

[Android Head-Units] KlaverBoer:
Today i figured out that running Google Maps in the foreground is the culprit of causing the terrible noise a caller experience when giving me a phone call. I have the issue on my unit (JY-VL130N2) and also on the unit in my wifes car (JY-UMS03N2). When you run Google Maps in the background the problem is not present. Also with Waze running in the foreground the problem with incoming calls is not present. So it is Google Maps related.

So for all the people with this issue you now know what causes the problem.
[Android Head-Units] joshnat:
I think I've read that turning off "OK Google" in maps alleviates the noise problem.

[Android Head-Units] Need4Camaro:
Hi. Thank you. I meant to tell you that I placed the heatsink on top and havent had any more problems since then. This fix seems to have did the job.

The only thing I wish now is to be able to make it so people can hear me when I use the phone. Any ideas for that?
[Android Head-Units] markmorto:
It could be done, but the main issue is that the text would not justify properly. Right now the RDS text justifies to the left, so it lines up with the station "circle". If you flip it, the alignment would be off and it would end up looking strange.

On the bright side, the right-hand drivers have the station buttons closer.

[Android Head-Units] CampbellLTZ:
This Looks good. Now if I was confident enough to figure out how to load it!
[Android Head-Units] markmorto:
Is your device rooted? It has to be to change the radio, because the radio APK file sits in the /system/apps folder, and you cannot access it without root.

If you are rooted, you have two choices: copy the APK file yourself or use the Joying Extra Tools app (https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...pk-to-help-t3628200/post75424734#post75424734) - the latest radio mods should be added in a new release this weekend.

If you copy it yourself:

Exit the radio app and close the process by selecting the Running Apps icon and swiping the radio app away.

Make a backup of the original JY-1-C9-Radio-V1.0 apk file in the /system/apps/JY-1-C9-Radio-V1.0 folder.

Copy the apk file for the mod to the same folder - it must have the same name as the original file.

Reboot

Can you make amber mods? Please!
[Android Head-Units] markmorto:
I don't have amber on my radar - next planned mod color is metallic gray.

Feel free to use one of my mods and add amber-colored images to it. It's pretty straightforward to do.

Here's what I do:

Use the 7-zip file compression tool to extract the APK. Then look in the 'res\drawable-nodpi-v4' folder where you extracted the APK file. You can see the button and background images in there. Update/replace them with amber-colored ones (make sure you keep the same size), and then use 7-zip to copy the updated images back into the original APK file.

The only other file I update is the 'radio.xml' file in the 'res\raw' folder. I marked-up this file with comments to explain what each element does. When you see 4 numbers, for example "10,100,220,50", they represent where the image (or text) displays on the screen. Together these numbers define the location and size of the rectangle area where the item displays.

1st number = pixels from the left of screen

2nd number = pixels from top of screen

3rd number = length of element, for example, my buttons are either 330 or 220 pixels long (so far)

4th number = height of element, or the distance between the top of the element from second number to the bottom.

The rest are font colors and sizes changes. When you see the comments in the markup, they start to make sense. For text, make sure the height (3rd number) is at least 20% more than the font height. If the font height is 20. make the text height 25. This will make sure the bottom of lowercase numbers don't get cutoff.

Once you're done, copy the APK into the /system/app/JY-1-C9-Radio-v1.0 folder on the stereo and reboot. You may have to make some adjustments to get things just right, but if you start off with a working radio.xml file, you only have to update the images.
[Android Head-Units] pwood999:
Mark,

These look great, but I mostly use RealZoulou DAB+ app. Any chance you could apply your excellent UI skills to the DAB app ? Here.

You can try an reset the cables attaching the display to the main board. There are two ribbon cables that you can reset, which is basically disconnect and re-connect them.

I know about this because my first Sofia unit had a video problem and Joying support recommended I re-seat the cables. It didn't fix my problem because I had a bad mainboard, but it might fix yours.
