Have sent several messages to Sygic. NOT 1 reply. Uninstalled and reinstalled. And now wont recognize all the maps and stuff i have downloaded already. Have everything saved on SD, but pointless. Even tried to install. And download 1 map then restarted hoping to go to manage maps to be able to search SD card. NOPE.

Its like once some of these companies have your money. Customer care goes out the window.

For me, Google drive use to do that, until it would seem that Google got rid of their former 'backup" system, where I assumed FCC was storing files.

(Maybe it has not done this yet worldwide).

In any case, since Google Made this change, FCC just LOCKS when backing up or restoring to Google drive, never actually displaying backups on restore, or proceeding with backing up for backups.

Instead, after a quick Brightness Change on the screen, it sits there, and the only way out is to hit the "BACK" button.

Been like this for about 2 weeks now.

Note: If you connect to Google Drive with the Google Drive App, there is a notice about BACKUPS being moved

"Backups have moved -- you can now manage and view your device and apps backups under Storage"

Is FCC "Hard Coded" to try to save to "BACKUPS" , and should now may point to "STORAGE" ??

Yes Sygic destroy the media commands on the all head unit. I bought it when I had the tablet and now o cannot use it. I wrote to Sygic support and they say that the software work properly. I think that all that they have an head unit will release a negative feedback on play store to get Sygic ti develop a solution

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] Many Thanks ..

Now I can set an Arrow that is visible on the map, on my "not so good" head Unit screen.

Screen shot looks pretty Gordy, but on the actual HeadUnit it looks a lot better, and is now very readable, even in bright sunlight.

Also, screen shot of attempted Good Drive backup .. FCC seems to create the backup files OK, but cannot send then to Google Drive.

Where can I select the type of arrow? I am premium user and on google maps hybrid view. Restarted the launcher as well. Thanks in advance

Edit: was still using v6 as the link didn’t save. Sorry :(

OK. I've finally fixed these important issues:

- Fixed initial setup issues (some users were unable to add widget to the home screen).

- Initial video tutorial is now a snackbar notification at the bottom of the screen (optional to open - you can just wait for 30 sec and it will disappear forever).

- Fixed local backup restore process. This was a very bad error from my side when I started to write a backup database over the existing database without deleting the latter first (actually I though it was deleted automatically, but not, new bytes just wrote over existing bytes which resulted in a corrupted database). Sorry for that long-living bug. Now I really hope that restore process will be a much smoother experience.

Please test this version as I want to upload it as soon as possible into a release channel (mostly because of the first issue).

I just tested the backup from SD card and this works fine on my Pumpkin PX5 on Pie.
[Android Head-Units] swyner:
Just noticed this “bug” with v13. I have Hybrid set as the maps view for both day and night. However on fresh boot or wake from sleep the map defaults back to something other than hybrid. I have to go into the settings and select it (even though it already says it).
[Android Head-Units] bossman4:
I installed V14 on my Eonon PX5 and I detected no issues with my three screen menu. I did do a backup to an SD card, but I did not do a restore. I did not do an Android restart. No difference in functionality or non-functionality. i.e. The album art for Amazon is still not really working at all on Eonon. All the other options I have set up seem to work fine.

I installed V14 on my Pumpkin (8227L) and I detected no issues with my two screen menu. I did do a backup to an SD card, but I did not do a restore. This Pumpkin unit (Android 9) is peculiar if it is left off for sixty minutes (longest settings). It will reboot Android every time (BIOS issue). Since it is a Quadcore, it is a lot slower on boot up than the EONON PX5. You can actually detect when the steps sequentially occur in initialization (Android or FCC).

Efforts to hurry it up are not fruitful and cause confusion.

My version of 8227L (workarounds)

For the FM radio, I just use the stock app as a menu item in the main FCC menu. It presents a full screen radio and the use of a back button or home button returns me to the main FCC menu. The FCC quick menu with FM radio does not yet work with this version of the 8227L. The workaround is perfectly acceptable to me since I don't use FM radio all that often.

For the contacts, Bluetooth and phone dialing, I just use the stock BT app as a menu item in the main FCC menu. It presents a full screen menu that allows

1) picking a contact and dialing (contacts nee to be copied from phone

2) utilizing the Bluetooth to play songs on the phone

Pressing return or the home button returns me to the main FCC menu. When I do recieve a phone call a mini menu pops up that lets me manage the call. This is an acceptable workaround to the FCC dialing and Bluetooth playing.

Now for the continued weird part

For some reason on the Pumpkin unit, the Amazon artwork really works, if I follow a certain timed sequence......

1) Switch to Amazon Music on FCC Quickmenu (utilizes download files)

2) Music begins to play and the artist and song title appear correctly

3) The correct artwork does not appear

4) Push the album artwork button (option for FCC) and the screen switches to the Amazon Music app

5) Wait for the spinning wheel to show the "other" songs artwork on the Amazon screen (8227L is a bit laggy), then hit the return button to go back to the FCC menu.

6) The correct artwork shows up on the FCC Quick Menu!

7) If you switch to another Quickmenu choice and back to Amazon, you need to touch the Artwork center to get to Amazon app, wait for the spinning wheel to stop and then return to FCC Quickmenu (works every time on the Pumpkin)

I can't recreate this work around on the Eonon........ One of the mysteries of life!

Regarding Android 10 and background location access:

"Approved" means approved by the user, not by Google. The user will see a pop-up from Android that asks the user if he/she wants to allow FCC to access location in background. If User not allows this, then yes your features will be broken. The users will blame FCC of course...
[Android Head-Units] okij:
I've found one major bug in v14 in comparison to v9 (which I had installed before):

The map styles aren't working anymore. No matter if I select day, night or auto day/night and no matter what map style I set (even with satellite and hybrid style), only the standard Google map with the standard colors is displayed.

Reverting back to v9 fixed it for now. I don't know in which version exactly the bug was introduced, probably in v12 (custom car arrow) which I haven't tried separately.

Thanks for clarifying this for us and [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]. Then fortunately it's not a big issue. :)

Yep, the average user will blame the software or the dev, as always. :laugh:

Hopefully it will be possible that FCC shows a pop-up which explains what the background location access is used for, before Android shows its pop-up to ask the user if he wants to grant this access.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
V13 -- (not yet gone to V14 -- it's hard to keep up with all these rapid updates --- Certainly not complaining :) )

Map styles seem to be working for me ,, using Google map. On re-boot, it does not come up with my custom map initially, but then switches to it after the map has been running for about 10 seconds. I didn't give that much cause for concern.. it got there in the end, and just assumed it was like other widgets - sometime when they 1st display, they have incorrect parameters, but after FCC has fully finished loading, they change to the correct parameters. It has always been like this (at least on my Eonon PX5)

====

OK, just tried V14, and now selection of Mapstyles is broken, and it always display a default style.

It no longer displays my Custom DAY style

I do not have a Custom Night Style

If I try to select Custom NIGHT style, it does try-- and comes back with popup, no custom Night style, but always continue to display the same style as it does for day.

Was working fine in V13
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
I hope this isn't a stupid question....

As far as I can see, when using the Maps widget (with API key), there's no quick and easy method of setting a one-off destination. It appears the only way to make it happen is to add a new favorite destination (or edit an old one).

Could I suggest a search button/box be added to the map widget for one-off trips that need navigation? Is that possible? Or is that something that's already present and I've missed it?

V15 Confirm, map styles now working :)

FCC in V15 does appear to run "Faster", at least, from the point of view that if I activate "Go to last page", and I have about 9 pages, it scrolls through the pages significantly quicker than I seem to recall it did before. (maybe I am imagining this, but before, each page rolled up and you could see it rolling-- now its so fast it just seems to flash through the pages)

--- Out of interest- are you able to reproduce save/restore to Google Drive not working ?

It's no longer working for me at all, but I saw someone post recently that it was working intermittently for them.. so is it just my system got messed up, or is it really still a FCC bug ?

Seems a massive co-incidence that it stopped working for me EXACTLY at the time Google announced a change from "Backups" to "Storage" with Google Drive.
[Android Head-Units] liamstears:
Seems faster to me...

Sorry I didn't get back to you on CSN2 volume, I have been too busy, basically on first boot it sets volume multiple times so say volume is 5 on turn on, you turn up to 10 then it sets it back to 5, does this a couple times before working normally, also had the odd occasion where it randomly sets to 5, normal px5 volume settings seem to work perfect for me...

Is it just me or latest release not have CSN2 setting option no more?

Also a bug, last time I had low tyre pressure I had the alarm go off, nothing could stop the alarm. I tried the sound button but it didn't work, I also corrected the pressure but still alarm going off. I had to restart FCC to fix...

Hi to Autostart the launcher so it can Autostart the apps you configured you either have to press home button once after you start the car or you can use macrodroid and set a template if screen (is on) then launch home screen. There is some problem with Autostart but no one seems to care, so I came up with this solution hope it will help for you too

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Great news that you managed to identify what was causing corrupted Widgets, and were able to fix it. That was a major Widget problem.

Still remaining is an annoying widget loading characteristic, which now that the database is no longer being corrupted by overwrites, should be correctable, and would benefit ALL FCC users, no matter what device they are using.

When FCC is loading (in particular after a re-boot), widgets are seen populating the current screen (while they are also populating any other not visible screen)

However, very often a widget will load with an old, or default set of parameters, and then much later, after some other widgets have loaded, that previously loaded widget will update to new parameters.

It is also difficult to tell when ALL widgets have finished loading and updating, especially if that is not happening on the current screen, and until all widgets have finished loading, one cannot interact with the screen.

Please therefore consider having FCC

(1) Display a Notification "Widgets Loading" until all widgets have finished loading (to inform the user that there is no point in trying to interact with FCC until this notification goes away.

(2) A widget data SORT Routine, that will sort all parameters for each widgets, and group them together, so widgets appear to load with the correct parameters when they do first load and become visible.

Ideally, all widgets on the Defined HOME screen should load first, (While not necessary, would make the loading process a better experience for the user)

The SORT could be every time FCC loads, or incorporated into the "Re-load widget" option in FCC settings if sorting every time system re-loads takes too much time.

(Maybe automatically Sort as well, before a parameter Backup)

If you want a BIG, many screen, many FCC widget backup to help with this, I can send you mine... (would be easy to send it if it was on Google drive, but until that is fixed, I will have to go get the latest copy of my card's SD drive to send, if it would help)

For Google Maps or the actual Google app you can setup Commute option with work and home addresses. Then you can have that setup with notifications in notification bar. Or in google maps you can select the “drive” mode and see it at the bottom. I can do screen shots later.

There is currently no widget that allows displaying this information and updating it as you travel around. They used to have this with really old Gmaps 6.14 and was super useful. Since I and trying to create a home screen with all commute options right there...all the time, having this in the mini map would be invaluable to me.
