I tried 3.300 and in general it works good, except for two things

1. On both radios, the button switching on Quick Player only is sometimes unreliable now (behavior started with .299). If the buttons switch, then things are fine......

2. I think Amazon Music is not playing well with the art switchover and that problem carrys over to the performance of the other players in the Quick Play list. This may have been the erratic problem for this whole period of the latest versions. The Amazon art work in Quick Player varies from none (speaker ICON showing) to a faded large number (like 1). It almost looks like FCC is looking for an image in the wrong place for Amazon Music.

Definitely, all the music players have to be started to get things started to be smooth. I had set the settings to start quick players on startup.

I really would like Amazon Music as a smooth option on FCC, since it has started the HIgh Definition Audio format. To me, in the U.S., it is a better option than Spotify (unless Spotify catches up).

The Temperature ist already displayed in my taskbar (using malaysk's Rom) I don't use a seperate CAN Bus Interface.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Sweet! That seems to have fixed the crashes! I do get a weird reset of the screen for a few seconds when unplugging or plugging in a USB keyboard, but no crashes! I also do go a quick reset of the screen on wake, but not a huge deal.

Only other little issue I have is the music doesn't autoplay after wake, even with the music player on boot option or players in background under autostart. I've had this problem for quite a while now though.

And since I live in the mountains and sometimes loose internet, I would also love to see an option that when you have internet, it plays online players, but if it looses internet, to switch to an offline player (like poweramp) after the online music has stopped playing. Then maybe have the option resume online player once internet is restored. I've tried to create this with Tasker and I'm almost there but it has a few issues I'm not sure how to work out.

Between the fixes of the last 2 updates, FCC is running SO much better for me now!

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this app!
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
So, the question must be "What Temperature" ?

No CAN Bus, so it's not a "car" temperature.

So it's either a Head Unit internal temperature, or some form of weather app temperature. ?

FCC already has a local weather Temperature widget, that also gives sunrise & sunset. etc

CPU temperature, if that is what is being displayed, while interesting, is probably best left discreetly in the Taskbar.
[Android Head-Units] RolandE1204:
I do think it's a CAN-Bus Temperature via the CAN-Bus Interface used for the Steering-Wheel-Remote. It seems it's also used for displaying the gridlines in the rear-view camera, because as I steer, the lines move (even if my car stands still). What I meant is, that I don't use a seperate CAN-Bus Dongle but I am using the interface that came with my headunit.

I'm using this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33010188664.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4ddW0c84 headunit in my Peugeot 308 CC

I find the same as you -- Amazon Artwork seems to have issues, but those issues now seem to be firmly associated with the Amazon App, and not a general FCC issue across all players.

Getting FCC to work with so many players, many of which do not "follow the rules", must be a massive task.

Now that FCC seem to be working correctly with the Majority of players, any remaining problem players , if they are going to be supported, will probably need to be addressed on a one by one basis.

For me Amazon Music has always had issues beyond other players, so I have tended to not use it, waiting for the main core of the Player Widget to be got fully working, and then considering re-adopting players like Amazon, if and when SpeedFire is able to get them to work reliably as well.

I really appreciate the potential of being able to use both Google and Amazon players, with their ability to select & play music based on a verbal command while driving. Far easier than messing with creating Play Lists, especially while driving !!

To be able to drive in a car, and just verbally request almost any specific piece of music or audio/(video !!) content, and have it delivered to you in the car as you drive, is really quite amazing.

[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
I'm not having a go, far from it. But over 400 pages in a single thread is not an efficient way to support and that's why people's bugs and requests get lost and unanswered. If it is to truly grow then you can't expect a newbie to read 400+ pages.

And it's not a gift horse when you pay for it, is just a horse...
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
You paid virtually NOTHING for a program that probably took 1000+ hours to develop. !!

I'll gladly pay you 50 times what you paid for FCC, if you put together a working Forum, and Wiki for FCC containing all the information from those 400+ pages.

No ? Too much work ?? well, there you have it.

So who do YOU expect to do it for you ?
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Are you suggesting this single thread is the best way to troubleshoot and grow the app?

You seem very angry. I am merely suggesting it's now too big to be efficient. I'm not the developer, I have no responsibility to people who have paid money to me.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
The real reason for a one thread is that this app is developer by me only and in my free time (which is mostly a couple night hours). I don't really have so much time. That's why I need to prioritize tasks based on severity and frequency (as well as based on my own plan for app development). Most bugs require a LogCat log to be recorded by user which is rarely done unfortunately.

I don't like bug tracking systems because I never know if this bug is still actual for the newest version of the app.

So the rule here is simple - the more active and helpful (logcat, video, steps to reproduce) the user - the more chances this bug will be fixed earlier.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Good luck! Hopefully the app gets so big you can retire on it!
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I think most of us who have purchased FCC realize this, and appreciate that we got a "VERY GOOD DEAL."

Thank you.

Sorry, I do get angry when I see people who have spent a mere "One time purchase price" of $6 on an APP, think that they then OWN the developer, and the developer must then do anything the purchaser DEMANDS, or the developer gets criticized.

How soon they forget all the FREE updates they are able to get, and how much more the current update is more functional than the version they originally paid next to nothing for.

Talk about "ENTITLEMENT" !!!

When you have time, maybe you could give us a brief idea of your plan for FCC's development, where you see FCC going in the near future, and what changes and additions you are hoping to do, that we can look forward to. :good:
[Android Head-Units] TYourdog:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Is it possible for you to make the volume with speed a gradual increase instead of jumping audio levels? Maybe even more volume speeds to better fine tune the audio increase? Ex. Check box for gradual audio increase so the volume steadily increases/decreases with the vehicle speed. Also instead of having 0, 5, 10 etc. you'd be able to choose any number in between 0-10. I enjoy the feature because it is similar to my Nissan Altima but it would gradually increase as speed/noise got louder but a few more tweaks would make it identical.

If I set my volume increase speed to 40 I have to go 41 mph since my GPS is off by 1 mph. Not a huge deal but kind of annoying and if you changed the volume increase levels to 1-10 instead of like 1-5 I'd be able to correct that. Also not the programs fault at all but it would make it more flexible.

Typically, by default, "Press and Hold" on the map is defined to be the function "Close map". If you have not changed that, then just "Press and Hold" on the Map.

[MENTION=9325785]Scopesys[/MENTION], thank you for your valuable suggestions. Please save this list. I will consider implementing some of your suggestion in the near future.

Now my plan is to fix all the remaining bugs of the beta, so it can be released (last version in the Release channel is 3.220 from march which is pretty old now).

All, please help to identify bugs in the beta.

Beta 3.301 is uploaded to a beta channel of Play Market:

- Bugs with adding some widgets are fixed

- Some initial setup bugs are fixed

FCC 3.301
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Thank you.

I posted all my suggestion, past & current in that one concise post, so you could maybe print them out and keep them for reference, rather than me posting them again & again to remind you,.

So I am going to assume that you now have them, and will not keep posting about those specific items in the future.

Yes, of course I will test FCC 3.301, but specifically for what ?

Having already spent significant time testing 3.301 alpha, what specifically should I be testing in the non-alpha. ?

You said

- Bugs with adding some widgets are fixed

- Some initial setup bugs are fixed

Which Widgets, and what initial setup bugs. What I am looking for that has changed since the alpha ?

Which widgets ?

Re-Testing all the widgets with any degree of thoroughness is very time consuming, and without knowing which one you have changed, makes it very hit & miss.

The

- Bugs with adding some widgets are fixed

- Some initial setup bugs are fixed

is fine for a "Release Note" with a new release, but if you want us to test specific changes, it would greatly help if you gave quite a lot more detail to us here on the forum. At a minimum, in this example, tell us what changes were made to which widgets.

What setup bugs existed, that got fixed - I regularly do a complete re-install of FCC, and I have never noticed any "initial setup bugs" , at least for the past few months.

One thing I did find today.

I finally tried setting a GOOGLE MAP key I got some time ago. It did not test VALID, but with invalid key entered, FCC seems to go very unstable.

When I created and entered a new Key, everything worked fine again.

Maybe coincidence, I will try CORRUPTING my current key, and see if I can reproduce the instability, but my initial finding are that FCC is fine without a key, fine with a valid key, but may be going unstable with an entered invalid key ??
[Android Head-Units] jukk:
I'm trying out the released version of FCC from playstore (3.220) and encountered a bug. Possibly this bug is fixed in Beta?

Here is a description. It worked fine yesterday. Today when I started the car, minimap was frozen in the initial position and didn't update when driving. When clicking for directions etc. or opening google maps, those things work (also other Navigation apps work), so it looks like only the minimap is frozen. I found no way to reset it (maybe I have to reset the head unit), so it is still showing the initial location. Could it be because I didn't have Internet connection initially, but started a mobile hotspot only after a few minutes?

Agama Car Launcher Skin for FCC

Hi, this is a skin based on Agama car Launcher. It is edited to fit FCC default visual standards. You have to change how icons and texts are displayed (text first, than icon) in order for it to look good.

Basically, this will give you Agama car launcher design, but with 4 buttons on each side (and not 3). Top and bottom had to be edited too (the center circle had to be cut).

Enjoy! I can post a print screen of this skin fully working on FCC later, if you need it.

EDIT: better image quality:

Thanks for your responses..

I just would like to clarify the above suggestion / response.

I am not suggesting you remove the option to save to SD, just remove the confusing "save to SD" on the filename edit screen, because after you have finished editing, you are presented with a screen that then gives you the option to save to "SD" or "Google Drive" .

Its a small thing, but causes some confusion, because when you are prompted "prematurely" to "save to SD" on the file edit screen, you may not realize that if you ignore it, later you will have the option to save to either SD or Google Drive

I have saved setting many many many times, typically with the desire to save to Google Drive, and it always throws me, when I see the "save to SD" option on the filename edit screen, whejn I know really I want to save to "Google Drive".

I have to ignore that way of exiting the screen, and make sure I select the other "save edit & exit" screen, to get to the next screen, the Option page to select where I want to save to.

SO, originally, when you only had the save to SD option, having the "save to SD" on the Filename edit screen made sense, but when you added the option to save to "Google Drive" or "SD" on the next screen, you still left the "save to SD" on the filename edit screen.

Does not hurt, its not a bug, its just confusing & redundant (and should be trivial to change ) ... If only all request were that easy to implement :)

(Screenshots added)

Having made screen shots, what is really happening is clearer.

(1) Initial menu save/restore screen only mentions Google Drive, no mention of SD.

see save-settings-1.png

(2) When editing filename, the KEYBOARD blocks the options to "save to Google Drive" and "Cancel", so it looks like the only option is to save to SD.

see save-settings-2.png

(3) Then, if one hits "done" button, instead of the "save to sd" , the keyboard goes away, and the full option to save or cancel menu is shown

see save-settings-3.png

So, not sure how to suggest to make this any better... but as it stands there is some confusion, especially for new users, who are seeing this for the 1st time.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4715865/how-to-programmatically-tell-if-a-bluetooth-device-is-connected

Talks about this problem, and offers some possible work around and solutions.

Even if one cannot accurately detect the name of the connected device, just knowing that a local device is connected, would go a long way.

ie, When I get into the car with my Phone, being able to tell that the head unit has connected with a device, which most likely is my phone, as it is the closest Pared device.

From the opposite point of view, it is useful to know if NO DEVICE is connected, so that it is obvious that when I am in the car with my phone, that for some reason, the head unit has not got any Blue Tooth connection.

So, there could really be one of 3 states that could be displayed in the widget

(1) No Connection

(2) Connection, but to unidentified device

(3) Connected to know identified device.

Ref Bluetooth Widget

I have NEVER seen anything except "Not Connected" appear as the Text for this widget, despite being 100% sure I am connected via Bluetooth .. ie Listening to music playing on my phone via bluetooth on the head unit.

Even if I disconnect the Bluetooth connection, and then re-establish it, the Widget remains displaying "Not Connected".

But it is connected, and the Song & Artist updates correctly as the song changes, as does the pop-up notification.

Which is why I typically I do not display the Bluetooth Info in the "Wifi - Bluetooth" widget, as you will see if you are successful in loading my FCC backup this time.

Its been many many months since I have had a backup not re-load correctly-- I think you managed to debug that 100% many months ago :good:

Personally, for me, its not a big deal, but as a Beta Tester, I should be reporting back anything I see that is not working as expected, even if it is something I do not use.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

I have made some progress with Bluetooth widget :)

It occurred to me that maybe I had the wrong BT settings in FCC, so I tried some changes. I however ended up going back to my original source, the px5 one that seemed to work best with Head unit.

I know from what you have said, that one can only detect a change in name, and cannot get the connected device name if it is already connected.

BUT, despite the Bluetooth TEXT always saying "Not Connected", I did notice that the ICON did change, in a very small way, between when Bluetooth was connected and not. That is at least something.

However, the change between the two Icons is very small, and difficult to notice.

So, my suggestions are

(1) Make the two Icon different -- maybe a very clear CROSS through the Icon if disconnected. (like you do with the WiFi Icon)

Or mabe, for the CONNECTED Icon

(2) When the Wifi Icon has the ability to have it's color selected for Connected/Disconnected, I assume the same will done for the Bluetooth Icon.

(3) Give the Text the ability to have 3 values

(a) Disconnected

(b) Connected

(c) "Connected Device name" (instead of Connected, if name is available)​

Maybe at the moment, the only two options are "Disconnected" and "Connection Name", so if no name, it always says "Disconnected" ???

-------------------------------------

On a semi related ICON subject, please could there be to different Icons for the EDIT Lock Padlock, one closed for Locked, and one clearly Open for Unlocked.

At the moment, one has to select the Icon, to see the message to tell you if the screen is locked or not, which toggles the lock.

It would be nice if one saw the Lock status with the two different Icons, the moment the Icon appears, when starting to attempt an edit.

Startup issue

When turning on vehicle after it's been sitting for a while (at least a few minutes) first the screen will go black for like 5 seconds, then load FCC, and then go to Bluetooth. But whenever I press the home button FCC loads up like it crashed and will go back to Bluetooth (which I have set up as a startup app).

Does anyone know why this keeps happening? Am I missing a setting? This has been going on a while, I've reinstalled FCC in an attempt to correct it but no luck. If I don't click the home button and let FCC load up my backup camera is really laggy but after it's loaded it's clear like normal.

Just search for "Icon pack" in Play Store and install any: search link
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
There are already quite a few Internet connection(ping), 3g/4g, wifi connection widgets already available on Playstore.

Looks like you are looking for some sort of Internet PING widget ?

You just inspired me to look, and I found one of many, that I may well add to my Car head Unit.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lapay.biz.widget&hl=en_US

Its a 3/4g widget, which to me, looks useful, to tell if you have a cellular connection. FCC already has a WiFI widget, and there are many PING widgets out there, to see if you actually have an Internet Connection.

I am still looking for a single widget that shows all of the above, Plus more !!

ie

(1) Wifi Connection (with name and signal strength)

(2) BlueTooth Connection (with name)

(3) 3g/4g Connection (with type with signal strength)

(4) Internet connectivity, with indication of if that is through Wifi or Cellular

I find , so far, the most usefull widget of this type is the FCC Wifi WIdget, and rely on it a lot to know what WiFi network I am currently connected to, typically my Hone network if in garage, of my Cell Phone, if I have remembered to set it for wifi tethering.

There is no forcing anyone to do anything -- in fact it's one of the things that really annoys me -- people thinking that just because they purchased an APP for a few dollars, that they can FORCE the developer to do whatever they think they want.

Make suggestions yes, but at the end of the day, it's up to the developer to do whatever changes they feel best serves "their" APP, and in a direction that they want to go.
