Hi there, thanks for the reply.

Hm, yeah that could be the station info I was looking at. Currently been using the glass antenna that normally comes with the adapters, are they just that bad?

If so I've normally had the reception to

8000

, and ofc no reception.
[Android Head-Units] halo_djk:
I also mentioned the bug when shutting down the app from the tasks list. In addition I found that the App would Dissapear, but the audio would start breaking up and messed up.

Size of text in station info

I can confirm that the text size in the station info is dependent on the android font setting. Go to Settings-Display- Font Size and change the font size to large. You will then easily be able to read your station info.
[Android Head-Units] hans.vinkers:
Try different channels, ie here they use 11c 12c 6b etc. Mostly not every transponder has the same reach. The odd thing is that you have found your channels so at some moment you did have the reception of all transponders I guess
[Android Head-Units] Robotson:
Hi!

I like your UI redesign - much easier to see the words! :) I don't have any station logos with your version however, when I did with realzoulou's original. Do you know how to get the logos working with yours too? Is it just a matter of pasting them into the same folder location?
[Android Head-Units] Oberbergler:
Try to reinstall the app. I did no program code modifications so it should be totally the same if you use realzoulou's version or mine. On my HU it is working :)
[Android Head-Units] Robotson:
Thanks for the quick reply! Ok cool, I will try again :)
[Android Head-Units] halo_djk:
I'm having more luck with the nousb version, but I keep forgetting to leave the app up front. This results in the usb permissions failing in the background, actually it freezes mid permissions, when I go back to the app it finishes try for permissions then fails and closes.

"however!" if I leave the nousb version in the forground at sleep time, everything permissions up fine (at attempt 3) app runs and radio plays perfectly. It's real stable even in bad signal areas, but the app itself is rock solid.

Really hoping for bigger fonts though, I have to look into the system font size, and my keyboard, at the moment the keyboard fills the screen and I don't want to make it worse. I don't really want bigger system fonts, they are perfect at this size.

Now I'm just rambling...
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
[MENTION=3163949]pgregory[/MENTION], [MENTION=472605]halo_djk[/MENTION] and others that reported this issue: I can now reproduce the issue. So I will hopefully find the root cause soon and provide a fix in an upcoming release.
[Android Head-Units] pgregory:
Great news, look forward to testing it out.

Cheers

Paul
[Android Head-Units] halo_djk:
So what is the difference between the two versions? I read the release notes, all I notice is the top option in settings is greyed out, and the nousb version does not seem to be able to get usb permissions when minimised?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Well, I cannot tell much more than I already do in the "Changes.txt"
[Android Head-Units] halo_djk:
Yup, that's the page I saw, I've read it a few more times. Still a bit confused, but I'd say that's through my lack of knowledge on android.

All good. =)
[Android Head-Units] droidmanuser:
Yes. I also want to know that.

I installed the usb version, but what's the difference between this one and the nousb version?

My unit sometimes pops up a message with getting usb permissions. As I agreed to this the app continuesly closed and started up again in a loop.

Any ideas?

[MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION]

Thanks, I didn't read your previous post before about the two app differences. :)

Is there an easy way to create a log file listing all stations, or better still stations without logos ?

I want to save a log to USB stick, so I can then go to my PC and create just the missing logos.

Note: The download from VW has quite a few UK stations missing - not the App's fault though !!.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Create a folder "dablogs" next to your "Download", "Ringtones", etc. directory.

Then start the DAB+ app. It will create a file starting with "dab+" followed by the date and time when the app started.

Close the app and then use a File Manager app to copy the file to the USB stick.

For all the stations with no logo you will find two lines like this:

1516646717064: no logo for 'MEGA 80's'
1516646717064: ------:'MEGA 80's',pty:Pop Music,fav:false,logo:'null',norm:'mega80s'
[Android Head-Units] pwood999:
I created the folder "dablogs" using built in file manager. This shows my root location is /mnt/sdcard which is where the "Download", "Ringtones" & "DAB/logos" folders are located, but restarting the DAB+ app does not create any log files.

I also tried a re-sync of the logos, but still no log file.

Do I need to use a root file manager to create the file somewhere else ?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Then the DAB+ app was somehow still in RAM. Better reboot the unit, then start the DAB+ app.
[Android Head-Units] omniajet13:
Hi thanks for all your hard work . it is great. just a quick question. you said the high pitched sound has not been fixed. are you referring to the horrible screeching sound when the signal is dropping out ? is that a possibility that it can be fixed?
[Android Head-Units] mcwieger:
Hi, I'm new to this forum, so first of all thanks for the efforts put in this thread by everyone and the people contributing to the app specifically.

I own a Joying head unit and am done with the bad FM reception, so I want to buy a DAB+ USB dongle. I've read through 70 pages of posts and I see many people complain about their reception (mostly caused by the antenna, so it seems), but I haven't seen a recommendation for the ultimate dongle! Or is that non-existent? I did see a comment that most Chinese songles are similar, is that true? Prices vary from ~30-60 euros, so if that's the case, I may well go for a cheap one.

Any chipset it needs to have? Or not have?

Many questions, preferably answered with a recommendation for a single dongle :)
[Android Head-Units] bardece:
Hi,

I am using your application in a phone and send the audio streaming to my car audio system via bluethoot.

This because my car radio do not have DAB capability but just FM. I verified that, in this way, a can also use the steering wheel button to change channel and volume.

There is the possibility to implement sending to car system (via bluethoot streaming) also the DAB information like: name of the station, song name etc. ??

Will be possible to have a layout for vertical position of phone?

You did a very great job !!!

Thanks very much.
[Android Head-Units] pwood999:
After the reboot then logs are created. This is really useful - thanks.

PX5 USB recognition

Discovered something the other day. I started the Easyconnect app (phone Mirror) while the dab app played, this made the dab stop playing (as it should). When closing the Easyconnect app, the dab would not start again (the app started, but no green signal bars and no sound). I put the Easyconnect app to freezer (don't really need it), and then rebooted. After this the usb recognition is far more stable. Of course I'm not sure if it's related to the USB permission problem, but on my unit something happened :)
[Android Head-Units] halo_djk:
I'm learning to hit the Navigation button before leaving the car so the dab app is left up front. Everything power's up fine this way on the no_usb version. I'm still curious as to if there is a bug stopping usb permissions in the background (even if I quickly maximise dab, it still fails).

But for me the app is very usable, and I'm thankful for that.

Have a mate who's just ordered the usb device, but as I've already found the stock app cannot be deleted, and I want to put him on this app, I....

A; want to put him on the real app, does he have to root to uninstall?

B: pay at least a little to Real, I'm disabled but I'll find a couple dollars for a couple beers to show my appreciation.
[Android Head-Units] Bose321:
I believe this app has the option to start at boot, doesn't that work for you?
[Android Head-Units] halo_djk:
I'm trying to get it to come back up the same way it was left. So if I left the fm tuner active, that's how it comes back when turned on.

I don't believe my system is booting each time it's turned on, it's just waking from a form of sleep, pretty much immediately, and that's what was causing my issues, the system was awake and trying to run the app before the usb ports had a chance to initialise.

I am still having trouble with stuttering on the DAB+ app. I changed Android head unit from a 1 GB RAM model (Allwinner A31) with Android 4.4 to a newer with 2 GB RAM, T3 CPU and Android 6. Still the DAB+ app stutters both in foreground and background. I can, however, use the original old app from Seicane without stuttering, but the app is old, the UI is outdated and inconvenient, and the app restarts every time I press the app symbol and it asks for USB permission.

Can the problems be caused by the new app that it doesn't fully support my DAB USB stick? Problems are the same on both headunits. Here is a picture of the DAB USB stick I have.

[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
The USB DAB stick should be no problem. Could you send a link to the Seicane version of the App?
[Android Head-Units] ynorynor:
PM sent.
[Android Head-Units] hans.vinkers:
I think I have the same thing. Not sure if it is seicane but it came with the window antenna and that isn't the best. I'm losing signal quite often too and I don't think it has anything to do with the app
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
It ll be because of the window antenna you'll never get decent reception from one of them
[Android Head-Units] ynorynor:
I do not agree, as I do not have the stuttering problems with the original app. The reception is good enough to not stutter on the original app, but when I change to the patched app (and not location so reception is the same) the stuttering starts.
[Android Head-Units] halo_djk:
I think I know the answer to this one but no harm in asking.

I've noticed that my dab reception sounds like it's missing quite a chunk of bass. Playback on SD card, FM radio and even my navigation voices all sound good N bass...

Are there any equaliser, tone, bass or treble controls in the sound decoder we could use in the app.

I know this isn't a bug in the app in any way shape or form... But.. No harm in asking.

realzoulou's modded version

Hi guys New to this Forum.

I've installed this modded DAB+ app and its a lot better than the standard one that came with the Head unit.

One question I have is After installing the App and downloading the station Logos I had about 53 without logos most if not all of them are Scottish stations.

Since I live in Glasgow area I was a wee bit saddened that there is no Scottish logos.

Do you know where I could download these logos.

TIA.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Are you in the UK ?
[Android Head-Units] halo_djk:
Australia.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
I had a look at the Seicane DAB App which you sent me the link to via PM. This is the oldest version that I've ever seen: 2016-03-31. It calls itself version "1.0".

I saw no major difference in its Java code, which could explain why this old v1.0 version does not stutter (that much) compared to my modded v1.4 on your unit. Sorry, can't help you out.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Ah, ok, I see, Australia has DAB+.

If Australia was only DAB then it would be mp2 only (DAB+ is mp4) and I was going to suggest that maybe it was this (the low quality mp2 codec) that was causing your problem, but as you have DAB+, its not.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
For those that are not afraid of some work:

Go to https://www.worlddab.org/country-information, choose your country, go to "Services On Air" and grab those little logos on that page.

Then copy what you need into the DAB/logos/user folder on your device, name the files so that the filename matches as close as possible with the station name shown in the app. Leave the file extension (jpg or png) unchanged.

After some 2-3 hours of work you should have all logos that you need :) Not the best quality, but better than nothing.
[Android Head-Units] Zeze21:
Thank you [MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION] for your great work. Unfortunately I have also a sort of stutter - regularly like ever 1-2 seconds the playback stops and then continues. The Signal quality is apparently not the problem (i have one of these Antenna signal amplifiers which unify the normal and the dab antenna.

I will try it now with the original joying app and see if this works better.

Could someone make the Seicane DAB App publicly available so I could test it with my joying unit?

I just would like no stutter. (6.0 Android 2g Ram px5 octacore) Thank you guys :)

Thank you so much for providing the link [MENTION=8628115]ynorynor[/MENTION] This App works great... but as soon as it runs in the background....it stutters worse than all other apps

So...yay and nay :(
[Android Head-Units] ynorynor:
Thank you for feedback. On the old head unit, the Seicane app did stutter in background but not in foreground. On the new headunit it stutters just occasionally in background, but runs 100% smooth in foreground. I do not understand why the new patched app won't work with neither of the headunits... Perhaps it is because both mine are AllWinner CPUs, while many use Intel or Rockchip? What else can be causing this?
[Android Head-Units] Zeze21:
Well to be honest - that can't be the Problem.

I have 2 Units:

https://www.carjoying.de/octa-core-android-head-unit-car-stereo-jy-um135p2.html

and

https://www.carjoying.com/2-din-and...dio/us-jy-um128p2-car-stereo-replacement.html

Which do not really differ in hardware aspects (at least CPU and RAM)

They both have the Joying USB DAB "thingy" (i refuse to call that thing a stick)

One (the um128p2) has an adapter which combines the normal and the dab antenna which has the stuttering with zoulous mod (always stutters) original apk (always stutters) and your apk (stutters only in the background)

The other (um135p2) has the normal joying antenna and this unit only stutters with the original apk (afaik - haven't done much testing since it's in the RV of my dad)

Both have the same MCU (which btw - if anyone could help me out there - i have no clue if it is a mtcb or a mtcd or something else entirely - maybe someone here has an idea?)

And both of the units have Rockchip!
[Android Head-Units] ynorynor:
I have the regular window antenna, and the reception here in Norway is quite good with that in my location. Since the original app does not stutter and the modded does with the same antenna in the same location, I doubt that the antenna is causing the problem.

I have tried the USB DAB stick and my antenna on my mobile (Samsung S6) and on a tablet (Samsung Tab 3), and on both these units neither the original nor the modded app stutters. Hence, I think the antenna is not the problem. Can it be caused by variations in the Android system software?
[Android Head-Units] Zeze21:
From my experience the software plays a big role.

Got some more info on my device:

Is there really no way to (somehow?!) mod the seicane app so it that it does not stutter when in the background - or at least so that it looks nicer (like the original modded version) in the forground (also not having to check the usb device dialog would also be extremely nice...)

pretty please....

Würde mich auch mit ein paar Bier erkenntlich zeigen :)

[Android Head-Units] ynorynor:
I have looked into the Seicane app and the modded app. The modded app is based on a version with a different library base than the Seicane version, which may explain why one version stutters less than the other for different hardware or Android base. I have tried to build a version with the Seicane lib-files on the modded version, but it quits and won't run. Not sure where to go next.
