[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
Hi,

I have not participated in this discussion for awhile for various reasons, but I kept following it and I also kept using the FCC launcher on my (PX5 MTCD) unit. Now I am back and I will start with a couple of questions:

1. Street names have been frozen for a few weeks in my FCC installation. Both the minimap and the street name widget keep showing rue Saint-Louis (that's where I live and so where I start most of my trips) no matter where I am. Even if I cold start the unit elsewhere the system sill declares with a straight face that I am on rue Saint-Louis, even if the minimap (and indeed every other GPS-enables app I have on the unit) shows a completely different (and correct) location. This situation has survived at least three upgrades of the FCC launcher, so it appears that something is completely stuck. I am hoping that somebody with a more intimate knowledge on the launcher can help me figure out what I can do to restore the functionality of the street name subsystem. Advice is much appreciated.

(I don't know if it matters, but coincidentally or not the situation started during a prolonged stretch of time of poor GPS reception. About a month ago and for reasons unknown my GPS antenna decided to dislike the position it has occupied for more than a year and all of a sudden switched to a very spotty reception. It was too cold to open the console and reposition the thing so for weeks the minimap kept claiming most of the time that I am either not moving or off-road. A few days after this all started the street name got stuck as described above. In the meantime I did open the console and reposition the GPS antenna, I have now perfect GPS reception again, yet the street name continues to be stuck.)

2. It used to be that when waking up my unit would start with the FCC launcher screen. Then after an update (I don't remember to what version, it was awhile ago) that ceased to be the case. Now when waking up my unit starts in the radio app and stays there until I press Home. Is there any way to revert to the original behaviour. Advice is once more appreciated.

Note that I have the "restart the last used app" checked. When the unit goes to sleep with another app in front then it restarts that app upon wakeup as expected. This (undesired) wake up behaviour happens when upon going to sleep (a) the radio is playing in background and (b) FCC is in front.

That's it with my questions, thank you so very much for any suggestions you might have.

Oh, but since I am at it, I also have a suggestion: [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION], is it possible to add a simpler compass widget namely, one what only shows the approximate direction using one of the following 8 messages: N, NW, W, SW, S, SE, E, and NE (whichever is the closest to the actual heading). The reason is that this is all the information I need most of the time, and this is also easier to read with a quick peek. Beside, if I need more precise information on the current heading I can also set up the current compass widget on the side and/or check out Torque. You did include something similar a few versions ago; it never worked for me but it seemed a bit more complex than what I am suggesting (which is a simple text display changing relatively slowly with the heading). In advance, thank you so much!
