any idea why after install Test 99, my microphone just stopped working?

UPDATE - I rolled back to Test 98 and Mic works again, and now Test 99 the mic is working. My Auto Sleep and Screen Lock isn't working now. I'm getting this error when trying to turn on screen lock - Screen Lock has already changed, try again with new screen lock.

2nd Update - I'm completely reinstalling everything from scratch, factory resetting everything and see how it works.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I suggest next time to think first about cleaning FCC's cache before testing a new test version
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
I actually did that as well

@SpeedFire- Does SDVC work on any android radio or only on PX chips?
[Android Head-Units] PhantomDj:
I have a strange problem:

I went on options and set to launch AIMP on FCC start (I have not enabled sleep mode on my HU yet, so HU does a full normal boot every time I start the car)

I tried booting the device several times, but the option didn't seem to work.

Actually once the HU boots, it takes a few seconds to see FCC start, then load it's widgets slowly and finally be able to use. Usually this takes 5 to 10 secs. I'm okay with that for the moment.

Once FCC loads all it's widgets, I can press the "Music" button and AIMP will start fine after a second or two.

Now today as I started the car I was busy and didn't bother to start AIMP manually. So, while I was driving in silence, AIMP was started by FCC! Only that it was started approximately 3 minutes after boot/FCC start!

I was able to reproduce this 3 times already. It doesn't mind what delay I use on boot options of FCC. I tried to add some seconds, as leave it to zero as well.

AIMP starts 3 minutes after FCC is visible/loading on screen.

Remember, I'm able to start AIMP manually 5 to 10 seconds after FCC loads.

Is this a bug ? Is my device that slow ?

Anyone has any thoughts ?

I reinstalled everything from scratch, updated with the latest firmware and mcu from Dasaita. Running stock image. Installed fcc car launcher. Than updated to test 99. Installed Iheartradio and the album art appears than disappears, like it went behind the widget. But no artist info is displayed either at top of acreen.. See video
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Try to select iHeartRadio as a Quick Player in your player widget.

Long click on a player widget with player names -> Quick players -> Change one of quick players to iHeartRadio and then try to select it (push on its name on the widget).
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Iheartradio isn't an option for me, if it was I would have done that a while ago.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Where did you install your version from? Can you give me a link?
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
iHeart: Music, Radio, Podcasts - Apps on Google Play

Listen to trending podcasts & songs. Stream live sports & news on local stations

play.google.com
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
The problem was that this player doesn't support Media Button intents (this was a parameter to identify player apps). I've added an additional parameter.

Please try this version: fcclauncher-3.442_test100.apk
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Is it easily reproducible? Can someone post all steps how to repeat this issue?

I don't see this on my device.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
oh, was this different than the one you installed on your machine?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
You mean the shrinking respectively altering font size of the Clock widget?

I observed this several times after updating FCC, but not every time. Yesterday I e.g. updated to test99 and it didn't happen, so it's not always reproducible.

If you want to try to reproduce it, please use my backup that I posted here and install several test versions and check after each update. The Speed widget and the Clock widget on my first screen should e.g. have the same font sizes, but for me the font size of the Clock widget doesn't always stick.

Maybe the special thing about my configuration is that I have two clock widgets of different font sizes, one on the first home screen and another one on the second?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, it looks like I've installed some other app with a similar name.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
ah ok that makes sense. Does this player have the Media Button intents?

https://go.audacy.com/download-android
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
For test100 version this shouldn't be an issue anymore. Please test.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
will test it tomorrow morning and let you know
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Not necessarily easily reproduceable but does happen often after an update and sometimes on restart (not reboot). I will do my best to capture it. Thanks. Testing t100 later.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Ok its partially fixed it. The Artist info is there and the logo for station is there. But when the song changes and Album art changes it shows album art for about 10secs and goes back to station logo. The app has the album art displayed the whole time. Let me continue to test and make sure it's not just this station I'm on, I'll report back.

UPDATE: So if I'm on the launcher screen its random if it updates the Album and Artist info from song to song. If I click into the iheartradio app and go back to launcher home screen it's updated. But than disappears, and repeat process to fix it.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
t100 tested. Map took ages to lock on to my location. Only is quick if I toggle Wi-Fi, so this may be a ROM issue?? Clock still shrank. New Logcat made and I will upload today. Thank you
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This depends on how fast your device finds GPS location. Launcher gets location from the device's location API.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I think I have compiled this correctly. Cheers

LogCat
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, log looks fine.

What bug is recorded here? What time should I look at, or what song/album art is shown incorrectly?

It is better to record video and logcat simultaneously. Even better to enable seconds in clock widget.
[Android Head-Units] KlausBJ:
Premium user here...

I downloaded and installed t100 to try the split screen thing, but I have no idea how to use it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This depends on your Android OS (some versions do not support split screen).

Here is a tutorial found on youtube:

To be able to use Fcc Launcher in split screen mode go to Fcc Settings - System:

- check Enable spit screen (the top item) if you see it.

- Select Home app and then select Fcc Launcher (split screen).

Then use general tutorial to put apps in split screen mode
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
@SpeedFire- I don't get any album art issues at all. The only issue I get that is "a problem" is the random resizing of the digital clock and player widget text size. The clock text reduces and the players i.e. DAB, FM etc enlarges and then wraps. And I have just noticed a button I placed to take me to the TPMS app, the background has gone to a solid colour rather than transparent. I will try and capture it and run logcat again. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] GnFgr:
How do i unlock this thing? I locked the layout and i cannot unlock it. No option for it
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Try to long tap on the screen and tap on a lock icon in the right bottom corner.
[Android Head-Units] GnFgr:
Nope. Nothing happens.
[Android Head-Units] KlausBJ:
I enabled split screen.

Home app choice has no Fcc Launcher (split screen), only the normal Fcc Launcher - this is when I try from another launcher... When I try to set home app from Fcc, it closes and opens the stock launcher.

Do I need to completely uninstall Fcc and then install t100? Or maybe delete Fcc Launcher's cache and data?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Maybe you mean something different by locking. Send us screenshots or video.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What Android OS version does your device have?
[Android Head-Units] GnFgr:
No i mean exactly that. I locked the main screen layout. Now i am trying to unlock it. So i long press anywhere untill a red locker appears on the lower right corner. I have try to tap on it

Long press on it.

Double tap on it.

Pray on it.

Light a candle on it.

Result is still locked layout.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I've added a separate setting here - fcclauncher-3.442_test102.apk

Fcc Settings - Display - Lock workspace

Please try to use this.
[Android Head-Units] KlausBJ:
Android 10.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It should work.

We are discussing test versions here. Do you use the latest test versions posted here?
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
@SpeedFire- any way you can add the album art to the Zlink app (android auto)? If I launch zlink and play a music app the text comes up on the launcher but not the album art. I'm sure this is similar to the other fix.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
This morning I updated to test102 and had issues with font sizes and settings again, this time with the Player widget, please see attached 1st screenshot. Besides the wrong font size and the wrong progress bar colour, also the player button names are wrong.

When opening the Player widget settings, the proper settings for font size etc. were still there, so after applying OK everything was OK again, as you can see in the 2nd screenshot. However, when I had similar issues with the Clock widget after updating FCC, the wrong font size was also in the widget settings and I had to set them manually again to the correct size. Today only the Player widget was affected, not the Clock widget.

For what it's worth, I also took a logcat when the bug happened, before resetting the widget to its correct settings.

I hope that you can soon find out what's causing this recurring bug and fix it. 🤞
[Android Head-Units] KlausBJ:
I'm using t100 - will t102 make a difference?
[Android Head-Units] nhas81:
Since the version published in the application store I have a problem when making calls, it always gives me a choice between bluetooth and call manager and although I always give the option ask again which option to use
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I saw this issue once (on player widget names) however I can't reproduce it now. I tried on emulator and real devices with no luck... :(

I'll try again.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
OK, no problem. If it occurs again when installing one of the next updates, I'll report again.

AFAIR I observed these bugs only directly after updating FCC, so could it be that you implemented some code which translates the settings of the old widgets to the settings of the new widgets and that this code has some bugs? Just asking because I'm trying to point you into the right direction. :)
[Android Head-Units] PhantomDj:
Yesterday I updated from test 96 or 97 to test 102.

I have since had problem with the music widget. Mostly when FCC boots.

Usually it displays the current track info and album for a few seconds and then it mixes them up displaying usually a wrong or "blank" (more on this below) cover.

I was baffled by this until this morning that I realized where the actual bug is.

I have my phone set up to connect automatically to my HU via Bluetooth.

Also the phone is connected both as a headset (for calls) and as A2DP (for streaming audio)

Up to test version 96/97 that was not a problem.

My HU would start, FCC would launch, it would then start AIMP, play music and display correct track info and cover. Usually my phone would connect a little bit later (I get a toast/notification message on screen) and everything was ok.

Now with test 102, the first thing I noticed was that the "blank" cover I mentioned above was coming from AIMP (AIMP logo) which is definitely strange. But today I had a breakthrough...

I was watching a YouTube video on my phone a few minutes before I enter my car.

Once I got into my car, HU booted, FCC launched, AIMP started, and I was listening to my favorite music.

Only that for track info I was getting the title from the YouTube video I was watching 5 minutes ago on my phone!

So, what appears to have happened is this:

Once my phone connected via Bluetooth it changed/reported it's audio settings.

And FCC switched "source" if I may say so to Bluetooth A2DP instead of sticking with AIMP.

Remember, A2DP was not playing any music. My HU (AIMP) was still playing music as it should.

Also the "blank" AIMP cover I was getting derives from the same bug. I have AIMP on my phone as well.

And when A2DP connects AIMP launches on the phone as well.

This means that test version 102 music widget now picks info from the "last seen" source regardless if the source is active or not.

As I said, music is always playing from AIMP on my HU on all the situations above. Android itself has not switched audio source to A2DP upon my phone's connection.

This also explains that the fix to my problem was to pause playback and then start it again on AIMP on my HU.

I don't know when and why this change was made (lookup for the "last seen" source) but it has unwanted side effects.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] PhantomDj:
BTW: I was able to "solve" this problem by setting the delay time to 20 seconds. Which in my case it's something like 5 seconds after FCC fully loads.

I can live with that, but it's still strange why values like 0 or 5 seconds result to 3 minutes delay!
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
t102 has gone mental on my GS HU.

When I first loaded it and ran it I had giant text and titles for apps I am not using. I don't use nor have installed, nor ever used Spotify. Poweramp is relevant. Note also my TPMS button has a background and the title has shifted to the right. The clock has shrunk again. The Player widget has lost the title for the song playing. (Poweramp)

View attachment 5479483

In the image below after a restart of the HU from off, the results were.. TPMS background gone but the title is still shifted. Giant player app titles now correct size but DAB Radio is wrapped and the song title is much bigger than I specified.

View attachment 5479487

In the next image after another HU reboot, the results are.... Player widget titles now correct, song title font still too big and the TPMS background is back but the button is located where it should be. The small letters TPMS is in the background image.

View attachment 5479489

The map is different in the above image as I was deciding which I preferred. I think I asked but why cant we have the latest Mapbox maps?

After this screenshot was taken all was working for about 5 mins then the HU froze. Poweramp still playing but the screen was dead. After about five minutes, the HU went black, then shut down on it own. The HU would not come back on until I power cycled the ignition. When it rebooted, the screen came as follows... Note the TPMS background and now the Player widget is spinning the album art but the clock stayed the correct size.

View attachment 5479493

With reference to LogCat, can I clarify if I am supposed to run it FIRST as soon as the HU is booted or after I see an error?

Many Thanks

I am using fcc launcher on a px6 with hal9k v5 rom.

All auto starts from either cold boot or sleep are handled by the rom.

For tpms program i use fcc tpms (the widget is amazing). But usually after sleep the program does not connect to the tpms receiver and i have to kill the program and reopen it to work. I use the later version of fcc tpms. Maybe i should try the older version?

For fm radio application i use navradio+. After wake from sleep i have the problem that usually the music widget does not respond as it should. It does not show the freq or the logo and previous and next buttons does nothing. I have to press play once from the widget and it will stop the fm radio app. If i open the navradio+ after that is start working normally and widget work as it should.

The music widget also sometimes fails to show the logo of the fm radio station. It gets stuck to the previous playing one.
[Android Head-Units] schloram:
I follow this thread now a couple of weeks now since I purchased the pro version of FCC launcher to see which bugs were fixed (or will be fixed in the next release). From what I read luckily some bugs seem to be fixed already.

Side note: Since my car is used by others as well I can't really install the test versions. So I'm still on the version from the app store.

I just wanted to let you know that the "changing font/widget size" described by multiple users and the "navradio+ problem" described by GnFgr exists already in the current PlayStore version.

I was hoping that these problems are gonna be fixed in the next release because these are the ones that bug me the most (pun intended).

Last but not least: Thanks for the FCC launcher and your continuous support/effort!
[Android Head-Units] GnFgr:
I should note that i am using the play store version and not a test version.

The lock layout problem i had just fixed by it self two or three days ago. I can now lock and unlock the layout normally.

As for tpms i will try the older version of fcc tpms application and if that fails i will try other versions from seller and also the web i have found. Possible that the widget wont work for other applications than fcc tpms but that is all i can do.
[Android Head-Units] Physen:
Can you please tell me, only I have a problem with auto brightness? After the radio has slept, the auto brightness function is always turned off.
[Android Head-Units] daemondee:
I have the same problem and already report it to @SpeedFire- . He replied that he would take a look.
[Android Head-Units] mike.b.hole:
Hi all,

I currently have an ATOTO head unit installed in my VW T5 Transporter that has been a bit of a nightmare from the start (not even sure if it's been installed correctly) but the one thing that I have loved about it is running FCC Car launcher.

Given all of the hardware problems that ATOTO has given me I am looking to replace it with another unit but this time would like to replace it with one that works well (most if not all features available) with FCC Car launcher.

What would be your recommendations? Would be looking for good digital radio here in the UK and quick boots, maybe even an internal battery so that when away on trips each start of the van there is no long wait for the head unit to boot.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Oh thanks! This data is very useful to finally solve this bug.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
@SpeedFire- his morning intrigued by the split screen I wanted to try, after setting the tick and on home FCC split does not come out but only FCC and logically it does not work for me, I am using version 102
[Android Head-Units] uktim32:
I've got a feature suggestion, don't know if it would interest others?

As the minimap can go into auto mode for day/night can we have some setting which automatically changes the wallpaper at the same time or at least similar eg day/night?
[Android Head-Units] GnFgr:
Any way to apply geoid to the altitude widget?

The problem i have with navradio+ and the fcc music widget appears only when i use fcc play,nexr or previous buttons.

If i inly use the wheel butttons then fcc music widget works amazing. Shows the correct station and the correct logo.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
That's great, this sounds very promising! :)

BTW, when I had issues with the Player Widget after the last update, it also showed Spotify as one of the players although I don't have Spotify installed.
[Android Head-Units] Sathiyakumar3:
I recently bought this app, thinking it was the perfect app out there for cars. However i have issues with Album art and other music widget. It's malfunctioning. Sometimes i noticed if the player was running before opening the launcher, the music widget works. Any solution for this. By the way, im using 3.442? Is this the latest version?

Also why cant i change the font of the screens? When i change the font in the settings, only the settings menus font changes.

Great App - Dumb Question

Like I started with, I'm liking the launcher and can certainly appreciate the level of effort put in so far. I've tried a lot of launchers and paid for Agama but before I purchase the premium of FCC (as I really do like it's customizability). I have a couple of questions and one is really dumb :)

1) FM Radio, this seems to be the default music app. My question is, is this a 3rd party android app or are you referring to the Head Unit's built-in radio? I ask because I'm trying to get the quick buttons to start my head units' radio NOT an android app. If this is an android app, which one? There so many radio FM, FM radio, etc...

2) How does one select any other application to use in the quick launch apps? I'd like to add say "BT Music" not spotify, chrome, Android Auto, but any application I'd like.

3) The music player widget does seem a little wonky. It doesn't seem to play album art or title & artist consistently and sometimes not until you go into the app first then back to home screen. ie: if you link Spotify as a quick button and something else, can you switch between the sources without having to launch the source app and just press the play button of the widget?

Again, great app and my only two things are What is FM Radio that is being referred to and can I put my head units' radio app onto the quick launch buttons?

My units is a Aliexpress clone. I've just recently updated firmware to Junsung UI 3 and works well. (better than OEM).

I'm using the

Model: 825x_pro

Device Type selected:MTK

MCU: TS-G5.201021(H)

FCC build is 3.442

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
My player text booted fine, then halfway through a song wallop giant text and I mean 20mm high!! Restarted, then had four players, rebooted back top the correct three. Also new one I think. In the player widget, there are normally two lines of text. Track title and underneath Artist. I get the correct track title but for Artist, quite often it just shows the letter "M". Hope this helps.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Personally @Mr80s there is only one FM radio app worth looking at and that is NavRadio.
[Android Head-Units] Mr80s:
Thanks @HatManSan , it's more the question of is the "FM Radio" referenced within FCC and throughout this thread the head units stock Radio or is it a separate app?

Whenever I click on it, it flashes a quick can image of a satellite and then "try again".

Is it possible to put the head unit's original radio in the quick buttons?

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Mine does this as well, I have a line through it until I click on it.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
If I may, I have noticed that when my HU starts and FCC loads, no player operates. I have it set like that. However sometimes I have to press "Radio" several times to get it to a/ change colour and b/ to play. Sometimes moving between "Radio" and "Music" (Poweramp) I have to press Music twice before it changes. I often have no album art, even though the is art in Poweramp. The most recurrent issue with reference to the player widget is giant text and the letter "m" appearing instead of Artist info.

On a different note. Is it possible to buy or make use of the latest mapbox map files?
