[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Joystik:
Hi,

Fairly strange issue and it's quite lengthy so bear with me. 3 weeks ago I had my Eonon GA8162 head unit professionally installed and I believed everything was fine. Controls worked, reversing camera, google maps and I was getting sound from all speakers using the radio. However, once I got home and installed Google play music I realised I was only getting sound from the front left speaker. The front right and rear left were extremely low about 5% of the front left, and there was no sound at all from the rear right. I tested this with a few other music apps and the results were identical. I then tried bluetooth, first a phone call and sound was produced correctly in both front speakers. When using bluetooth music, the sound issue returned affecting the same speakers. Lastly I tried a CD and sound played in all speakers, albeit it slightly lower in the rear speakers.

To add more fun to this tale, a few days later I was driving and listening to Google music with the speaker faults and an hour into my journey the front right magically also started to play at full power. The rear speakers were still low but I had sound in the two front speakers and that was an achievement!! I had an appointment back at the car stereo shop the same day for them to investigate, so went along anyway. Turned the engine off, went in the store, came out to show them the miracle, started the car and the sound problem was back again. In the three weeks of owning the stereo the front right has magically corrected itself only once more, failing again after the engine is turned off completely.

I've tried all the obvious things- the balance settings, soft reset, hard reset and today Eonon sent me a software update to fix it and it's still the same after installing it. In fact it's worst as I'm not getting any noticeable sound from the three struggling speakers unless at extremely high volume and even then it's a struggle to hear something. All the speakers in the car are stock, there isn't a subwoofer or external amp and the Eonon headunit replaced the stock stereo. The stereo is plug and play more or less, so there were no wires to figure out. I have seen comments pop up here and there about doing something with the Amp CTR wire, but that seems to be for people who have external amplifiers. Am I missing something or am I looking to deep and it's just a faulty unit which needs to be replaced?

Any help or advice with this appreciated.

Thanks

i have the same unit ( is for Ford Mondeo , right ? ) and i have instaled by my self ....in your place , first i will check if with the original stereo car the speaker works well . If its work , in my opinion , the Eonon unit is definitely faulty . If they work the same way , problem is with the speaker or wires ... i have it problem with the front speaker also and i replaced with a after market one ( Blaupunkt ) some time ago ...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Joystik:
Hi GabiDan. I've since agreed to return the unit with Eonon. It's taken an age to get to this point due to the time difference, their 'interesting' replies and needing to satisfy the various troubleshooting bits they wanted me to do.

Up until this point I'd done the following- soft and hard reset, completely unplugged the unit and reconnected it and most recently installed a patch provided by Eonon. None of which worked. Since removing the Eonon unit and reconnecting the factory Ford 6000CD stereo, sound is fine out of all speakers. So it's definitely a faulty Eonon unit. Everything else was completely fine with the unit, none of the woes I often hear about i.e. sat nav, reverse camera and so on.

Hopefully I have better luck with the replacement unit. Will keep you posted.

Mondeo

Hi guys

I am thinking of buying this unit for my mondeo 2012.its the facelift model and i am considering if it will fit. My radio is the ford 6000cd so i am pretty sure it will fit. My dash is the black colour not the silver on the old models. Does anyone have the facelift model?

Is it a good unit as it shows or are there any known problems? Thanks for the help
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] traderdude12:
Hi just read about your sound problems ,I'm having the same issue with a different model of eonon (GA7153A) the interesting thing is that it is a completely different cpu and it is different version of andriod . its got me worried that they can send me a new one. Is your replacement still working?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Joystik:
According to Eonon's website, it only supports stereos in Mondeo models between 2008 and 2011. Double check on their website or the attached screenshot to see if the stereo you currently have installed is the correct one.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Joystik:
The replacement stereo has been absolutely fine. My sound problem hasn't returned and I haven't experienced any of the common issues spoken about with defective units.

I think all in all, the process of me retuning the item and receiving my replacement took about 7-10 days. Maybe less.

Go for it and the sooner the better. As they'll ask you to do diagnostic tests, try a firmware patch to fix it, etc. Before you get to the return stage.

What I have:

Sony Xperia XA Ultra

Model F3213

Android Version: 7.0 (Nougat)

Baseband: MOLY.LR11.W1603.MD.TC9.SP.V31.T1, 2017/05/10 18:31

Kernel: 3.18.35+

Build Number: 36.1.A.0.182

Problem/Questions

Too often, the phone is locking up completely where it will not respond to anything and I have to hold down Power and Vol UP + Down to force it to reboot. I find it odd as I've never had an unrooted phone do that to me before.

In anycase, I always try to root my android phones and I have plenty of experience doing it so don't believe you'll consider me a noob...

I was reading through [F32xx][Guide][N] How to root your Xperia XA Ultra (as noob friendly as possible) and it mentions that in order to do whatever a Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2 is before I root the phone. but in order to do it, I have to downgrade to Marshmallow (ver 6.0).

Ok so I couldn't find a guide on how to do that let alone finding the firmware files for my phone in my region that is my variant.

Questions:

1) Is there a US Region version of Marshmallow for model 3215 that is downloadable somewhere? If not, I found other regions of the same phone model number (3215) than the US. (i.e. Latin America)---Could I use that without any issues?

2) Is there something specific that I can do for anyone else here with my particular phone version that may benefit you or the development of this phone before I "ruin it" with a root?

3) What is a TA Backup and why would I care to save it? :)

Thanks,

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] xaser66:
Hi!

I really like the Lg V30, but was somewhat disappointing when LG announces that it didnt include the IR blaster, and I really like and use it, since my phone also solves not to looking for other remote-controls of different devices.

I dont have the LG v30, and before make a big bucks investment, I would like to ask if may be some of the lucky members around here may check if this adapter may works as a solution to provide the lost IR functionality to the wonderful LG V30.

So, I was looking for the options, and the first that came was the 3.5mm IR adapter like this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-3...hash=item51fba6c37a:m:mJ-DSCA2tCFlc_SjR3IfEaQ

or similar that are like a small rivet-head over the 3.5mm hole (there are several models like a 2cm stick long outside the phone or others that are like a "ball" or small "egg" outside the port that both are very bad options since in the pocket is almost for sure will broke and may be damage the 3.5mm port).

As far I may found, it seems that a difference on some android models that the rivet-head type not works, since the audio level voltage to the headphones (that the app uses for make the IR leds of the IR adapter work), is not enough strong to drive the IR leds, and this means a really short range of IR control or not working at all.

As far, the powerful Audio output hardware that the LG v30, make me wonder if the LG v30 could be a model that may be be able to manage this adapter.

So, if some help, or testing is possible, it would be very grateful.

thanks and best regards to all.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] soonerck:
I just got my v30 and popped a 3.5 ir button in (like you described) and no, it does not work. I am very disheartened by this as I was really counting on it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] xaser66:
Hi!

First, thanks for take the test and share the info. Sadly to know that by now it is not working, so, as far, I would like to ask if You may try some other details in hope, that may get a hack or fix.

At first, may you share which of the available plug models did you try, there are some diferent, but some of them are with the tip conector splitted, with 2 quarters in metal contact and 2 quarters in plastic, so, may be need to turn the plug inside the 3.5mm hole slowly to try to make the plug get in contact with the internal electric contact of the phone for the tip.

Asfar I know, the plug works by making the IR pulses, using audio signal of somewhat high volume in order that the audio signal make the electric voltage to drive the IR Leds inside the adapter, so I wonder, if may be enable Hi-Fi mode with high volume, may help to activate the IR Leds and send the pulses

Also, if posible, may you could check the IR plug activation, looking through other digital camera, so, digital cameras may show in the preview as the remotes IR pulses like with lights on screen of the camera even that is not visible for human eye.

Please excuse me for the above requests, but, if may be posible for you to test, would be great if may get the IR lug working with some trick or something.

Thanks for kind attention and reply.

Best regards.

Hello

[IMG="ir"]IR blaster attachment https://imgur.com/gallery/omxQO[/IMG]I tested the IR blaster attachment with the v30 that I was using with an old iPhone. It recognizes the IR blaster in the zaza remote app, but it doesn't fire. Meanwhile, same app on the iPhone 6s, same IR blaster it works flawlessly. Could be because some are meant for the iPhone and same are meant for Android, but this one does not work with v30. It does work with the iPhone tho strangely.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] [Cruzer]:
I was in the same boat.. I have an 3.5mm ir blaster for my HTC 10 but didn't work for V30. searching around I found this IRBlaster still waiting for it to come. Will let you know.

Please let us know I am looking for a IR blaster that works with the v30
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kensupen:
I have a V30 (AT&T) and I built one using YouTube as a guide. It works with the zaza remote app if you you enable the HiFi quad DAC and set it to normal with the volume all the way up. You have to press the remote buttons several times to get it to register on the TV. Not as reliable as a built in blaster, but it does work.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Orof:
iv'e tried the 3.5mm IR but it didn't work with my lg v30. decided to buy the USB C ROCK IR blaster:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/8409100

working like a charm! i'm using the zaza remote app, and so far every single device works flawlessly. the range is also amazing! (i can point it in the opposite direction and it still works!). also, it's small enough to fit with my Tech21 case on (just barely), and it works well with the Ringke Onyx case

i highly recommend this for anyone who wan't to be able to use the IR with the lg v30. allready buying a second one :)

edit: i see that Baseus has also come up with their own device. it seems to be even smaller (and will probably fit cases without much usb port clearance). worth checking out:

THANK YOU for the links.....I have been searching for reliable IR blasters, for a year. FINALLY, I found this post & will try the IR blaster, on AliExpress.

AGAIN, MANY THANKS!!!!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ArgamanZa:
I'm switching my Galaxy S6 Edge after long using it and I have 2 main choices: OnePlus 5 (128 GB version) or the Galaxy S8+

The main reasons for me to choose the OnePlus are the faster and cleaner android performance, even though I'm a Galaxy user since the Galaxy 2 I never liked the bloatware and the oxygen OS looks wonderful.

The reasons for taking the S8+ are... Well everywhere I searched and almost any review by people who used them both are saying that it is the best android smartphone there is.

Except the reviews, the camera and amazing display and quality are much better.

After a couple of days, and hundreds of video and written reviews and comparisons I still couldn't choose so I decided to ask here, after you've used OP5 for some time, if someone approached and offered you to switch your OP5 with a S8 for free, would you do it?

Please note that cost is not an issue, here in Israel the S8+ costs about 300 ILS (about $85) more than the OP5 and i can afford it if it's worth it.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
Nope. OP5 has far superior battery life, it is faster and dash charging is amazing, more ram and storage and basically Stock Android! The S8 has a better display but I'm OK with 1080p (didn't think I would be coming from 1440p phones) as I don't care about VR. Also, better updates and more frequent to date.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] solojazz:
I switched from the S8+, the near stock Android is unbeatable for fluidity and just quality of life. Everything seems more iOS like on stock (or near it) Android. And when I say more iOS like I mean the good things about it, such as the fluidity and overall polish.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
I switched from the S8. OS is light-years better. I don't need all the gimmicks and love quick updates. Portrait mode is a plus for taking pics of the family.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] xDark_:
I'd trade, try it out for a bit, then sell it for another phone lmao. Maybe a Z2 Play or Mi A1. Who knows?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 83097markcynt:
S8+ is a nice phone but all that Samsung bloat I can't deal with
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
You probably should ask that question in a more Samsung friendly thread because people here are obviously going to be biased. The OP5 is better if you are into rooting or customizing your phone. But it also has terrible camera software --I could take better low light pictures with my $200 Samsung Galaxy J3. The other thing Samsung phones have going for them is the build quality. I've never owned a Samsung phone that broke before I was ready to replace it. I don't think the OP5 has comparable build quality. But if you like to root your phone and flash custom kernels and ROMs the OP5 may be the best phone on the market.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] here is johnny:
For the looks yes, I came from a s6 edge+ and my girl has a normal s8, but for overall experience, speed and stuff I would def choose the 5, and if I want looks, I just hold my girls phone for a few sec..
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] slg60:
They could pay me money on top and I would never come back to Samsung!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nxss4:
As you may have noticed, most of oneplus's users (including me) see the OP5 as a superior device to the s8.

Most people are not buying this phone because it's cheaper.

Coming from an s4, I was considering the s8 and the oneplus 5. But I am going for the OP5, because I think it's the superior device.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Pro4TLZZ:
S8 is a good phone but I cannot live with Samsung's software
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I haven't used Samsung devices much, but simply because I am able to mod this (custom ROMs, kernels, etc.) with virtually no bloatware and heavy skins (such as TouchWiz) makes this the better option for me.

The S8 does have a nice design though, and from reviews/feedback, seems like it has a better camera as well; but that isn't enough for me to switch over.

The 5 is a great device and I think if you choose it, you won't be disappointed!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] The_Fry_Guy:
Considering the fact that I'm switching from the LAGGY S8+ to the OP5 then I guess the answer to this would be NO
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
I could go either way except for the fact that I need dual sim cards so I don't have to carry 2 phones. I used an s8 for a couple weeks before switching to the op5. They both have there pros and cons which have all been touched on here. I won't switch but I would be happy with either phone. I think the s8 design is prettier and more impressive but the op5 is easier to use.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
I like both.

As stated they both have their pros and cons...

S8+ has got a brilliant camera, sd card support and a heap of hardware features to explore. There is always things to find and surprise. Bixby is a little hard to use unless you have a US accent, I find it doesn't understand Aussie to well but it does learn.

The 4gb of ram is noticeable when you hold the Oneplus up to it though.

Oneplus doesn't have sd card support but does have dual sim support. You are stuck with the internal memory you buy so make sure you account for that. It is quick with 8gb ram and easy to flash/theme and mod .

In the end it depends if you like to be able to change roms and mod easily, though the S8+ isn't too hard after bootloader unlock (you just destroy any chance of Samsung honoring your warranty) or like to play with some cool little features you may or may not get over.

It will ultimately come down to you and how you use your device...

Just to be clear here, asking a dev forum of dedicated phone owners how their phone compares to the "competition" is not really going to get you anywhere. Most will fight tooth and nail defending their vaunted purchase and you will get a very biased opinion...

If you don't believe me, ask how it compares to an Apple... Now I've let loose the cat amongst the very heavily armed pidgeons...:p:D
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] CrashTestDroid:
I chose OP5 over an Exynos S8 because Samsung's software is the worst and I've been burned too many times. Price didn't enter the equation.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] heov:
Same. Money wasn't the deciding factor for me. I had an S6... the ritual of disabling all the bloat got old. Too many gimmicks. Plus lots of RAM makes me happy.

I'd post in the S8 forum and ask why they chose S8, see what their responses are, and see if you value those things.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rosso832:
Home button and phone unlocking is way better on the OP. Infinity display is nice but also very fragile. I went with the OP5 instead of the S8 for these two reasons and never regret. This phone rocks.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
Coming from an s6 then the s8 for a couple weeks, the home button is really nice of have. Both phones have equally lightning fast fingerprint sensors. The op5 would be much less likely to break if you accidentally drop it it.

Only big issue is Facebook Messenger is still freezing a lot when typing or just sitting idle. After several updates it's still problematic and it's only happening on my op5. I started just messaging on my old HTC m9 which still works fine, as did the s8 and s6 and even an s4 I just sold.

A Google search hasn't helped so far and I'm away from home on vacation without my m9 so it's getting frustrating.

Other than that it's been basically flawless.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nxss4:
[Off topic] For how much did you sell your s4? Thinking of selling it but I'm afraid nobody wants it for a good price (~100$)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Naprzod:
Of course, and then I would sell it and buy a op5.

No joking, maybe yes, that screen is awesome, I would change it for the snapdragon version only.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
I sold the s4 for $50 Canadian with a broken charging port but an external charger and original battery plus a brand new OEM battery. However I couldn't sell it until my friend's s4 mini died and she needed a phone. Nobody else wanted it and she knew I wouldn't rip her off. It was perfect besides the charging port.

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Why would you want the Snapdragon s8? I didn't realize that's what we were getting stuck with in Canada until I already got it. We got the Exynos s7 luckily, but with the s8 we got the locked down Snapdragon version.
