OK. It seems that it is too early to support Android P.

I'll try now to switch back to Android O.

Update: You can download it here 3.061

And it's also sent to Beta channel.

Please report if it works or not
[Android Head-Units] Julian75ts:
Ok

So what's now?

May i have to wait for another release ti use minimap?

?

Sorry but It doesn't work minimap and i also updated Gmail and But i can't use It because he ask to update play services too but It stucks after download!uhm
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Try to restart your device. I switched back to the Google Services which were in use for a long period.
[Android Head-Units] Julian75ts:
No luck Sorry

Tried to restart.. same issue

No minimap?

It's very strange that also last version of Gmail also ask to

Update Google services?

But i can't update them

What do you suggest me?

I am trying to get Google Assistant to activate from a Steering wheel Button, but cannot seem to get it to work. I get the impression that FCC should allow me to Intercept a button to do this, but when I try, it does not seem to identify any Key code being sent to my HU.

Basically, like most modern cars, I want to be able to Press a Button on the steering when to trigger Google Assistant, rather than having to SHOUT "Hello Google" on top of the radio/music plating.

HU is Eonon GA2170B

Universal Steering wheel control (from Ebay) ref Universal-Wireless-Car-Steering-Wheel-Control-Remote-Button-For-Stereo-DVD-GPS/122845192367

Registered FCC ( within 30 minutes of Installing it - no brainer) - Amazing App

Does FCC currently support doing this, and is there a Widget / Notification that can me made to pop up and show the Sound acting on the Microphone ?

Any help from SpeedFire or anyone else would be greatly appreciated -- spent many hours trying to get this to work.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Last week Google Assistant also enabled on my test PX5 device. Now I can test it. As far as I see FCC can be assigned as a calling app for Google Assistant as well (need to tap on an arrow while trying to call by voice). I will look how it can be triggered. Probably I will need to add a new separate action for Assistan in addition to the old Google voice
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Update: Actually I've tried "Google Voice" action (assigned it on click on TripCombined widget) and it launches Google Assistant perfectly. So this action can be used for hardware button assignment as well (if the button can be intercepted by FCC)
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Can you make IT floating the mic button. In no way the steering wheel button work on my car. Do i van use Google assistent in evry app
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
I don't use MiniMaps, but I have opened it and can confirm it was set to MPH.

I had a drive around and some of the time it was showing data in KPH, and some time in MPH (for some short stretches of the same road it would switch to MPH for a few seconds and then go back to KPH). Its mainly KPH that its showing. Could it be something to do with data caching?

Has it saved the speed limits of the roads I normally drive on in KPH and so keeps displaying them to me in that form?

I am also now seeing an up arrow in the speed limit circle quiet often. This is something I have never seen before this update. What does it mean?

I am in the BS30 area of Bristol, England.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I've written down your suggestion. I'll see if it is easy or not.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
OK. I'll check.

There should be no caching issue as this data is not cached inside the app.

Can you notice next time if this "KPH" data is higher or lower than the real MPH value (it can be just some extra conversion).

Up arrow appears on non-premium accounts after 10 minutes per day. Previously speed limits just disappeared.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
The arrow comes and goes, mine is a paid for version of the app. First thing I did was buy it when I got the head unit :)

The speed seems to be correct with the conversion as far as I can tell from looking on my speedometer which has both marked. It shows 48 in a 30 limit, and 32 in a 20.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
OK. That is bad :)

At least now it is visible that the cause of absent speed limits is some internal problem and not only the OSM part.

Will investigate.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks for quick reply.

It seems the key is (if the button can be intercepted by FCC). When I try to get FCC to intercept any of the keys from my Steering Wheel control, it does not display an intercepted key-code, so I am assuming it is not seeing the key being pressed.

For those of us fitting a HU to an older car without OEM Steering wheel buttons, the choice of aftermarket Steering Wheel Control addons is limited, and maybe the best choice for a HU that supports the Key1, Key2 control inputs is the "Universal Steering wheel control (from Ebay) ref Universal-Wireless-Car-Steering-Wheel-Control-Remote-Button-For-Stereo-DVD-GPS/122845192367, which works very well with the Eonon head units, which has an App that can designate functions to Short & Long Presses.

Would it help if you had one of these controls. I would be more than happy to supply / pay for one for you to have, if you think it may help make this controller compatible with FCC.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Let's start with the app. Send me apk. I'll try to see what's inside.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I am wondering what PX5 device you have for testing, and does your Test PX5 device support the two Key0, Key1 data lines from a steering wheel controller ?

If so, do you have any steering wheel control connected for testing ?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Some unknown PX5 device. Keys are not connected unfortunately.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Please forgive my ignorance.. I am new to Android (I am a Windows programmer).

The App was pre-installed on the HU. How do I export it (if that is possible?) to get it to you, and once I have it, how do I actually get it to you. (email attachment ?) Note: My HU is not rooted.
[Android Head-Units] Xorit:
The hardwired key0 and key1 are even recoqnized from the factory settings - It would be even more interesting if you could cancel the canbus programmed buttons and assign the key to something else.

Keycodes in my case are shown, but I'm sure FCC will only "back-button work around close" the actions?
[Android Head-Units] Petesky:
Still getting used to this, think you missed a trick by not putting it on Youtube,

are minimaps and google maps the same thing
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I thought this device has its own app. I re-read your message and it turns out that your head unit natively supports the device.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Agree. My lazieness in video production is not good. I need to make a video review. That's true.

If someone wants to put user's review on YouTube as well that would be great.

Re minimap. It is not a Google Map app, but it uses Google Map API. So the data is mostly the same but the behaviour may be different (and no offline mode)
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I just emailed you the apk "WheelKey Study 1.0) that is installed on mt Eonon GA2170B (and I suspect many other similar head Units)
[Android Head-Units] Smess1210:
I'm experiencing pretty much the same with mph/kph fluctuation. I also still seem to have the problem of current speed not registering after sleep....
[Android Head-Units] Petesky:
Does split screen only work in android 8 , I'm having no luck on android 7
[Android Head-Units] Smess1210:
Is that premium FCC or OSM?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
"Android has officially offered a split-screen mode for smartphones since Google released Android 7.0 Nougat in 2016. Sure, some smartphone manufacturers offered the option earlier but many of those methods were clumsy and didn’t work well. The introduction of Android Nougat brought a standardized method for a split-screen mode that works across most smartphones and tablets."

Is split screen a premium feature ? I'm trying to do this

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
No, this feature can be used in free version as well. But this is a built-in feature of Android OS starting from Android 7.0 (as mentioned above). I just added support for this split screen mode in my app.
[Android Head-Units] ADT90:
Hi,

Thank you for this great app.

Can you please tell me what the premium features are.

Can you also tell me if you plan to have the minimal work offline. (I would love to see this as I would like to reduce data usage).
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
The premium features are listed completely in the app store. --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter

Even if the app would cost 25 bucks it is worth each Penny.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
That was mentioned earlier in the thread. I know there is a lot of posts but have a look and you will see. Basically its a licensing issue with Google, and you are not allowed to cache the data.
[Android Head-Units] ADT90:
Thanks. Yep definitely worth the price. I’ve only had the app for a short time and I’m very impressed.

That makes sense, shame as that would have been so useful. I run mine using a sim usb dongle and sometimes it’s too slow to generate the maps as I’m driving
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Very happy with FCC.. still getting up to speed with all it's feature, and finding typically any perceived problem are cause by me not understanding fully yet how to control it.

Added Poweramp to it today .. - seamless integration.

Despite have Opacity at Zero, the Album Cover Images appear to render very poorly, and in low contrast in FCC, compared with their appearance when looking at them directly in Poweramp, (or any other app)

Is this cause by a setting, a design feature, or something not as expected.

Images just look "washed out", and not up to the clarity of the rest of the items on the skin.

Using the included skin that has the Album Graphic rendered in a circle in the center of the screen.

Guys, please check the latest beta 3.062 - tried to fix speedometer issue and widget freezes.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
This is interesting, as today I drove to the office without the 4G modem connected, so no internet connection at all. I use the street name widget and the speed limit widget. The both updated as normal on the (short) journey.

I know the speed limit was updating as I go via a short section of 20MPH limit and it changed from 48 to 32 on that road and then back to 48 once I was back in the 30 MPH limit.

So data must be being cached somewhere.

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Radio freq Notifications - format error ?

I very much like the option to set Notifications to pop up on the screen for a set time.

When displaying Radio frequencies (when Radio station is changed) it correctly displays the FM frequencies in format xx.xx or xxx.xx (ie to 2 Decimal Places)

Unfortunatly, it still uses that format when displaying AM frequencies (I know, who listens to AM !!)

so 800 is displayed as 8.00 and 1020 is displayed as 10.20

Is this FCC formatting, or incorrect data supplied to FCC. ?

Can this be fixed easily ? .. not a big deal, but once seen, it stick out like a sore thumb :)

Maybe just an EONON Radio issue ?

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

I just joined your Beta group, hoping to contribute in my small way to this great app.

3 quick questions.

(1) Is there a forum to give beta feedback, or should it be done here.

(2) How does one check if there is a new beta.

(3) Is there a FCC "wiki" or a reasonably complete "Change log"

I've spent some hours reading through all the posts here (a Lot !), and it is difficult to remember exactly what was changed, when, why, and if the issue was resolved (and did not come back.. etc etc)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Probably an FCC formatting. If you can record a LogCat log - that will help.

1) This forum is a beta testing forum :)

2) Subscribe to a beta channel (first post here) and just check updates via Play Market

3) No :) I try to post changes here.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks -- there are so many option.. takes some time to get up to speed .. but I love it !!

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Thanks...

Sorry, yet another question..

I installed FCC .. amazing -- so purchased it -- and the Upgrade to Pro arrow disappeared, and I saw the Pro features.

Joined the beta group, and installed the latest Beta

No I see the Update arrow again, and the option to purchase it again ??

So, is the Beta running in Normal mode or Pro Mode

ie does it know I bought the Pro Version of the released version, and is really working in Pro Mode..

A little confusing (at least to me )
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Premium version is assigned to your Google Account (no matter you use beta or release version). You need to do 3 steps:

1) Log in to your Google Account.

2) Make sure you allowed FCC to get permission to Contacts (it is used to get your Google account and to check purchase)

3) Restart Launcher or device.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
Ok, so I have installed and then gone for a drive on some roads I have not been on before. All in MPH :)

However back to my normal roads and they are back to a mix of MPH and KPH. I think that with the fact it all worked without an Internet connection ( I mention this a few posts back) must mean something is caching somewhere.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
This still does not appear to be working correctly.

1) 1 Log in to the Google Account I purchased FCC on.

( I can see the purchase, and the fact that I am a Beta Tester for FCC)

2) I go into System, and make sure that FCC has permission for Contacts

3) Restart Launcher, and I still get the UP Arrow, and FCC Beta thinks that I do not have Premium

4) Restart Device, FCC asks for permission to Contacts, I say Yes, and it still is not in Premium ( Up arrow, and all Premium features disabled)

Note: Before I became Beta, FCC was running correctly in Premium Mode.

----

I am at latest beta. If I uninstall & re-install, will I loose all my Setups ?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
That is surprising but good to know.

What about Speedometer issue and freezing widgets?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What does it say when you click on the yellow arrow?

Yes, you will loose all settings in this case. You may try to backup / restore them via the FCC's settings (but it may not work very well), or via apps like Titanium Backup.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
The freezing is a fairly random thing for me, and hasn't done it on the 2 journeys so far. I will keep an eye out for it and let you know. I have not had an issue with the speedometer, I think that was somebody else.

Do you use a library for OSM lookups? If you do I wonder if that has caching built in. It would be nice if it were under your control so we could have a clear cache button ;) but I guess it will rectify itself over time anyway.

I don't know if you saw my other post a while back about not doing any lookups if FCC is not being displayed (or the page with the relevant widget on is not displayed) but it would be nice to conserve data where possible.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I used some code for OSM lookups but haven't seen caching part. Anyway it is not an external library and I can modify the code directly. So I will look

Yes I saw and implemented changes. Now if the Launcher is not visible requests should not be made to OSM servers.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
For your information. I've received an e-mail that the app is (temporarily) deleted from Play Store:

They refer to this page: https://play.google.com/about/privacy-security-deception/deceptive-behavior/

I don't know what the app could potentially violate (maybe they don't like floating notifications, but they do not violate these rules as far as I can tell).

Since no particular details were mentioned in this e-mail I've sent an appeal. I will let you know what they reply. I hope this issue will be resolved quickly.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Ended up uninstalling & re-installing Beta while logged into correct Google account. Now shows Premium -- but of course I have lost all my previous configurations. (Good opportunity to start from scratch, now I have a better understanding on how to set up FCC)

However, I am a little concerned about your comment

"You may try to backup / restore them via the FCC's settings (but it may not work very well),"

Are you saying there are issues with FCC's Backup/restore in general, or maybe just restoring to a later version ? The Backup/restore is something that I would want to work correctly :)

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

That sucks .. must be frustrating for you :(

Especially when you do not tell you what is actually "wrong" by the way they are interpreting their rules.

Hope it is not Floating Notifications .. they are a most wanted feature IMHO.

Rather than hounding you, I wish they would better spend their time going after those that put Misleading and potentially damaging advertising Pop-Up in their apps. --

I really appreciate that FCC does not do this
[Android Head-Units] Zeze21:
I hope they respond quickly and your App will be available via the playstore soon again.

On a different note:

Car launcher Pro has a nice widget which would be awesome for your launcher:

It gives the option to have a list of apps which can be scrolled through.

Is there any chance that you might include such a feature?

Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
Brilliant, thanks for that.

I think it would be good if you could keep a list of whats changed and publish it when you release a new beta then we won't remind you of things you have already done ;)

This might be what I was thinking about last night and going to ask. Or it might be completely different :confused:

At the moment I have a mode button on my steering wheel and its assigned to the mode function on MTCD. Basically every-time you press it it moves on through a list of pre installed apps (radio, music, av in and something else I think but I forget what). Anyway I don't really use them and there is no way to change it to say add DAB+ or Apple Music into the list.

So if we could have a feature where we can specify a list of apps to cycle through, and it can intercept a wheel button press then that would be much better than the inbuilt functionality.

I was looking to see if there was anyway to update the list the inbuilt app uses, but it seems not.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I am amazed at how readily you are willing to listen to, and in many instances, add features suggested by users. (A main reason why I was supporting and using your App).

The latest non-beta version appeared quite stable, but the newer beta version, while having a lot of new features and bug fixes, seem to have lost a lot of that stability and run significantly slower and with stuttering.

My suggestion (for what it's worth) would be to stop adding more features at this time, and concentrate on getting the beta into a stable release version.

Allow everyone to see the new feature working correctly, and then return to adding what you agree to be worthy enhancements.

ie: I would like to see a Amazon Music widget added (unless I am missing it already being there), but I can live without it, and would far prefer to have what is already in the App working correctly to it's best ability before more features are added. (just by 2 cents)

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This is already done.

You can intercept by FCC your Mode button (see Wheel buttons settings) and assign a "Mode cycle action" (or something like this) to it. Then you can select the desired apps. Since I don't use an Xposed module, the app basically does the following:

1) Gets information that hardware Mode button is pressed/

2) Waits 10-15 milliseconds for the 'default' app beginning to start.

3) Closes it by simulating Home or Back button (there are options there)

4) Opens your app

Please try

[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
I knew you were on the ball :)

Unfortunately it does not work, the mode button carries on as before. I have bene in to the wheel button app and changed the mode button to try other things (like hang up phone etc) and it does not seem to intercept any of them. I also tried the custom button in FCC and it never gets a key code when you press the button.
