Hi Realzoulou, I powered up my head unit then plugged the dongle in and the DAB-Z app started up smoothly and played straight away without the need for me to un pause it
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
hi [MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION],

I would like to ask for a setting to send the app after some seconds back to the background if it´s in the foreground.

The problem is, that I am not able to differentiate if DAB-z is on main screen or may be in the settings part. So it always switches back to the home screen even if I am in the settings of DAB-z.

To have a setting in DAB-z to send the app to background if it is in the main screen would be appreciated.

For all, interested in my workaround...

Just now I use a tasker task to do it:

DAB_RETURN (6)

Problems on Android 9

After Changing my Board from PX3 (Android 7.1) to PX30 (Android 9).

Sound Jumps every 2-3 seconds. With the 7.1-Board i do Not have any Problem. All other Apps on the device work as they should.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Does the existing option to remain in background when started from the USB ATTACHED intent not suffice for you?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Could you send me a logcat via Settings- Info to zoulourns at gmail.com
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
IT keeps in the background if the app has been started automatically. That works fine so far.

But if you may be switch the station by stearing wheel, the app switches to foreground and you need to use the home button to get back to the launcher.

... it´s just a nice to have, so I can live with my solution so far. On the other side, with my solution I would be able to switch to any other app.

The problem will be your antenna. A shark fin antenna isn’t as good as an antenna that stands up. The higher your antenna is then you will get better signal. I am guessing that the car you got from the insurance doesn’t have a shark fin? If it does then it must be better than yours.

I fitted an antenna from eBay to my Audi A3 which cost me £25 and it outperforms the factory fitted antenna my wife has in her seat Leon as mine is a roof antenna and hers is in her rear windscreen.

I dont have this problem. I’m using px5 android 8 device with Hal9k rom and fcc launcher, Dab-z stays in the background when started and if I change stations it still stays in the background.

Hi,

great App, but i need some help.

I have Headunit Icartech Alpha S700, i have buy a DAB USB Stick.

DAB-Z find the stick, find stations and play sound. But my subwoofer dont work. I think the app don't use my equalizer. Also don't work the wheeling keys.

Can you help me? I have extract the orginal DAB app from the headunit, can we mod this to work with the USB stick?

greetz

netlars
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
That's strange. I doubt that the extracted original DAB+ app will help me, but please send it to me by email or attach it here.

I recently was contacted by a user who said that he hears the audio only from the center speaker and not from the other 4 speakers left, right, front, rear. I also have no clue why...

I think that I do everything that is needed as a typical audio player. The app simply generates a stereo PCM audio stream. It has no idea of how many speakers are available.
[Android Head-Units] netlars:
verry strange.

I found this string in the manifest.xml: <uses-library android:name="com.foryou.midware.proxy"/>

i think this is the key for the problem with the equalizer.

i can not attach items here.

i will send an email.

Hi Realzoulou, I tested the play button today and found that it does not trigger other players to pause.

Changing stations does trigger other players to pause.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Next release will contain an option to define a delay (5s to 50s) for the automatic start.

Tested again today and see no problem. What apps do you use in order to see the problem?
[Android Head-Units] ozzybon:
Great news, thanks very much. Look forward to installing it.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
For England/UK maybe, but that's not the case in the Netherlands and Germany with DAB+. You do mention the lack of quality in the UK, but you make it quite general for DAB, so please focus your answer on the UK and not on DAB+ in general.

Also in the Netherlands and Germany there are some stations broadcasting in 48-64 kbps, which is indeed not very good quality, but when using the AAC+ codec for DAB+ (compared to MP2 or even MP1 in DAB), it is certainly comparable with or even better than a strong FM transmitter and FM audio "bandwidth". Other stations broadcast up to 128KBps which is so much better than FM.

The audio spectum for FM is 20Hz - 15kHz (approximately). The audio spectrum for DAB+ can be much broader. For a 50+ year old guy like me, 15 kHz is sufficient. Younger people really miss the high tones in FM.

And DAB+ is more resilient to noise.

If you are talking about DBs (up to 50DB for a very near, strong FM transmitter), compared to DAB/DAB+ (10-30) you are right.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
I totally agree that things are much much better in the rest of the world for DAB than the UK due to us still mostly using mp2 and squeezing so many stations into one multiplex.

But I disagree about DAB+ (mp4) generally - its simply not as good as FM sound quality wise and is not a particularly good format - digital FM is much better but sadly has not been widely adopted.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Well. We could start a flame about this :), but I rather not.

I assume it is also a question of taste. I have both on my unit and I have strong FM stations and excellent DAB+ masts in my neighborhood, and I really experience DAB+ having better quality with a much "spacier" sound especially in classical music.

Digital FM? I can't find anything about it other then that "everyone" calls DAB/DAB+ Digital FM.

Besides Tumke32 no one reported this so far. But now I am affected myself since I have the SYU/FYT system software as part of the Flyaudio Intel Airmont unit.

I am currently trying to find the root cause. Seems to be both in the system app com.syu.ms and in DAB-Z.

Is the rtl sdr DAB+ reception much better than that DAB+ receiver that comes with the radio?

I have a Calearo shark fin antenna with built in GPS and DAB+ receivers and is professional installed on the roof of my car.

First i was thinking that there was a problem with the antenna itself, the only way to check it, was to watch the GPS satellites, if they loses the satellites signal, it must be the antenna it self. So i drive around and i opened a program that monitored the number of satellites that i received while the DAB+ radio played. The satellite reception (12 satellites) was great without any losses of the satellite signal, but the DAB+ reception was terrible in a area where the DAB+ signal is strong enough to receive. This is unbelievable frustrating. I have no doubts about Real zoulou his software, he's writing a great app but it can't fix bad hardware, i think the hardware is to weak or i have a faulty DAB+ receiver.

So i'm being looking for a alternative, maybe the rtl sdr DAB+ usb stick is the solution
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Yes, we could have a very long discussion about it, lol. :)

There are a few things about all the digital radio types on wikipedia.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
I didn't had the possibility to test the reception. I used the short antenna included with the dongle with the car parked at my home and it seems the signal is pretty good, considering the antenna setup.

I have the same antenna of yours, not Calearo, and the same problems of you. A couple of days ago I had the possibility to use a courtesy car with DAB and the reception was great also in the areas where mine is loosing signal. The difference was that the courtesy car had a stand up antenna. I don't know if the problem could be the shark fin antenna or the USB dongle.... I am wondering that it is the HW, because I have full signal with GPS and FM. (https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...ersion-com-t3609608/post79427144#post79427144)

One of the advantage to use the rtl-sdr is to have the automatic switch between DAB and FM, as the "professionals" receivers do, but we need someone that can develop the right App. Another advantage is the possibility to have also DVB-T in the car.
[Android Head-Units] Oberbergler:
I have an SDR device, had Klyde's DAB adapter and have now the second compatible stick with dabplayer.

The module from Klyde was very good but the application that comes with it has a lot of errors. The SDR devices UI is not so user friendly and the reception is bad. The best overall are the DAB receivers that are compatible with dabplayer. I can say this only because of the work of realzoulou. The original app is trash. Thanks to realzoulou we have alot of new functions like a favourites section and better sound. The bad thing is that all these devices are built slightly different. My Xtrons DAB receiver had a worse reception compared to the no name receiver from Ebay I use now: https://www.ebay.de/itm/DAB-Autorad...587036?hash=item2ac7047edc:g:YpAAAOSwoG1ciAfG :D
[Android Head-Units] Flemischguy:
That's the problem, which DAB+ receiver is the best and most reliable, there are so many DAB+ receivers that i can no longer see the trees through the forest. And i think i'm not the only one.

Anyway, thanks for the link :)
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Thanks, I reproduced the issue. There is indeed a bug. DAB-Z does not request audio focus when the PLAY button is pressed and so both Audify Music Player *and* DAB-Z are playing audio and Android mixes the two audio streams together. When a station is selected from the list, the audio focus request is sent and so Audify Music Player looses its audio focus and stops playing its audio.

Btw. nice music player app. Nice layout and working like a charm.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
I was under the impression that all the DAB modules used with this app were the same inside, I could be wrong, but until the most common ones are opened up (or details got from software some how) we dont actually know.
[Android Head-Units] Oberbergler:
I don't know if there are differences inside but I know that a bad soldering can be the cause of a bad connection. My Xtrons lost the connection in a place where this no name DAB+ adapter has full reception.
[Android Head-Units] VBA_Dev:
Thanks Realzoulou ?

Yes I like that music player app too, it could do with a few tweaks to make certain UI elements bigger but on the whole it’s a good app.

Stuttering DAB+ Eonon

Hello, I have an Eonon GA9251B with the DAB + USB dongle from Eonon (V0054). It works with Android 8.1.0.

Last week I changed the radio. Before, I had no problems with the DAB + reception. Now time he got the full reception, but the sound stops every secound second. I've already tried an alternative DAB + antenna, a USB hub and all the USB port the radio makes available to me.

Does anyone have any idea what I could try?

Thank you for every answer.

Hi [MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION],

I´m running in a bad behavior after incoming calls, any announcements from Google TTS and after using voice input.

After using any of these apps, DAB-Z keeps in pause mode. I have to manually press the play button to get music back working.

Are there any logs needed to see what happens, or are you able to reproduce it?
[Android Head-Units] Tumke32:
I can confirm that you indeed fixed the problem in your last release! Thank you for that !
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
With my new Flyaudio Intel Airmont unit, I also have this every time. But I know that the root cause is in the crappy system apps that are part of the SYU/FYT Android extensions. They take away audio focus from DAB-Z when the other audio app (also BT and Voice Recognition are such), but then "forget" to give audio focus back to DAB-Z afterwards.

Would be good if your could send me a complete system logcat, DAB-Z alone would not help much.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Sorry, I should have added the information that this happens with my Pumpkin PX5, 4/32 . The Intel unit will be delivered within the next few days.

I never had this problem with you previous builds of DAB-Z. It came up with the current build.

Nevertheless, I will be able to create a full logcat hopefully tomorrow.

Problem with volume control

Hello, I have a problem with the volume control. DAB-Z is recognized on my radio as a navigation app. If DAB-Z runs alone and I use the volume keys, this will be shown to me as a navigation output. The volume changes in the case. But if I start the Navi and run both app	s in parallel, I can change the volume of DAB-Z only when an announcement comes from the sat nav. The navigation app is TomTom go. The Android version is 8.1.0 and my model is called 8227L.

Who declares that? The app or Android.

Otherwise, I	m excited about the app.

German Version:

Hallo, ich habe ein Problem mit der Lautstärkeregelung. DAB-Z wird bei meinem Radio als Navigations App erkannt. Wenn DAB-Z alleine läuft und ich die Lautstärketasten benutze wird mir das als Navigationsausgabe angezeigt. Die Lautstärke verändert sich in dem Fall. Wenn ich aber das Navi starte und beide App's parallel laufen, kann ich die Lautstärke von DAB-Z nur ändern wenn eine Ansage vom Navi kommt. Das Navi ist TomTom go. Die Android Version ist 8.1.0 und mein Modell heißt 8227L.

Wer legt das fest? Die App oder Android.

Ansonsten bin ich begeistert von der App.

Freundliche Grüße

Interesting, I believe it’s android, as on my PX5 unit there is a setting to say which app is the navigation app. That’s then the one that gets the differentiated volume.
[Android Head-Units] IG_Vasilich:
The same on my SoFIA/FYT unit. Moreover, this setting gets reset every time i update my navigation app, so i have to go to settings and select this app again as navi app.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Welcome to Android on Chinese head units. Navigation apps use the audio media channel (mostly), but also DAB-Z does this and other music players / media players. To make it possible to always get output from your navigation, also when running in the background, like if some music player uses the audiochannel, you can set "whatever" app as navigation app. The Joying software then sets a property with the package name of the selected application.

The main server app simply checks whether the application that is known by that "navigation app property" is running, in the foreground or background.

So if some application in the foreground is using the media channel (some music player, a navigation app, VLC or DAB-Z), the Joying mainserver "knows" that when the selected "navigation app" in the background produces output, that "navigation" app may interrupt or decrease the volume of the normal foreground mediastream (from whatever app in the foreground) to do an announcement. This mixing of audio is also a setting for the different audio streams on the Joyings (as radio and navigation are treated differently. radio is not android but an external signal from the audio hardware, at least on the sofia, PX5 and olders units)

The fact that the setting gets reset if you update the app that is selected as navigation app, should not happen. The property only changes if you change the navigation app setting (or flash a new firmware).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Radeon123:
Browse the SD card through PC, then on the files you don't want, right click, properties, then tick the the hidden button then ok, that should hide them :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:
It doesn't look like it will let me do this through Activesync... I can;t get attributes for folders, only files - and even with files I can't change them. I suppose I need an SD card reader?

Using a card reader should definitely work though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:
When I right click on a folder via Activesync, all I get is a box with a 'General' tab. It shows the folder name, type and location. I also tried to use Total Commander to change the attributes, but no joy. I can click it to hidden but it doesn't save. Thanks for you help with this!

/Zip/

/ttnavigator.bif

Don't take my word for it ;D but TomTom seems to be working in its entirety with everything else removed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:
Yeah that seems to be what I am going to do. Irritating though, as it takes forever to transfer things to the SD card via Activesync - although I suppose if I don't have to transfer the maps thats no big deal. I am going to give this a shot. And as posted earlier, 2257 seems to be for installation only, so that will be the first to go.

Thanks for you help friends!

He may or may not have downloaded a pirate copy. I installed mine from the original CD which came with the phone and maps bought from TomTom. I couldn't install main program to SD card. My SD card folder list is as follows:

Eastern Europe - (Maps)

Voices - (As it says, can work without these)

Western Europe - (Maps)

Zip - (Post codes, can work without these)

I don't know where all the other folders came from or if mine are installed in the internal memory.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:
I kept these folders in the root of my SD...

USA and Canada (maps, of course)

Voices

Zip (doesn't seem relevant, as mentioned above)

ttnavigator (file, just sits in root)

And TomTom has not complained. This is much better, and saves room on my card.

Again, thanks for your help!
