Why would I do that in this truck with a relay and aux fuse panel, when I can control th dimming and ACC on via the canbus and an appropriate interface? Ive dealt with a lot of vehicle electronics (its part of my job) and going around a proven modern system with a bunch of jankey wiring just looks bad, especially in this case where it isnt needed.

In our Jeep Cherokee, maybe, but that also has things liek additional trailer wiring and radio equipment going in, as well as separate harnesses for the lighting to overcome stock deficiencies, but the Ram is pretty solid. Atoto says they have a built in canbus interface coming, just not there yet.
[Android Head-Units] intruda119:
Yeah why would you do that?

Our last few post was towards the guy asking about it. We can only assume he has an older vehicle.
[Android Head-Units] TeamADW:
Ah, my bad. Yeah, if you have an older vehicle, you could do a relay setup for ACC, but normally thats just a stop on the key, at least back to the 70s.
[Android Head-Units] intruda119:
My thoughts.

Built in amp is 10x better than the stock one.

Very little lag when operating the unit. Lags a bit when streaming and downloading at same time.

Plays all types of media.

Screen is great. Easily used with sunlight shining through(sun roof)

Dims at night time correctly.

2sec boot is amazing.

Presistent app permissions notification drives me nuts.

App installs take forever(download is fast as the connection)

3ven thought 99% of time I'm listening to Google play or off HDD would be nice to limit volume when turning on car when fm radio auto starts.

Everything outside of my noobnesw and lots of user error has been plug and play. What's taking me 2 weeks so far would probably take experienced person 1hr or less.

I took apart the unit and can't understand why these units are bigger than name brand headunits. There is nothing in them but space.
[Android Head-Units] TeamADW:
The screen is very nice. Boot time is more like time to pop the screen on, like when you hit the power button on your phone after its been in your pocket on standy. The real boot time takes forever (why is this microwave so slow!!!!1)

Mine keeps having issues with SD cards. have had it randomly say its corrupted, pull it out, reinsert, and all good. Just odd I think . And I finally found a good GPS app for this one, since it has enough space, the TomTom app is perfect. At least for my uses, even with having to pay for a month when using it for longer distances.
[Android Head-Units] XDApurp:
My biggest issue other than the few mentioned already in this thread, is the lack of speaker settings. There isn't enough options for speaker fine tuning, and as a result I can't get my speakers to sound good at all without massive distortion and clipping. Anyone know if there's a solution for this?
[Android Head-Units] TeamADW:
Best I can think of would be through a different amplifier than the built in one. Best luck I have had is with the "natural" setting. Its all software based, I found that it stops working and needs rebooted to get the profile back. Im betting thats a driver issue, and one we wont see updated in the A6.
[Android Head-Units] Croak:
You guys do know the trick about hitting BACK when the FM tuner comes up, then selecting the Atoto AUX and hitting HOME (leaving it in memory) to prevent the auto-start of FM and getting blasted out of the cab, right?

With the AUX trick, CarWebGuru (or other launchers) will autostart just fine. Every now and then (especially after a long power-off, like a day or two) you might have to repeat the trick, and more often, you'll need to manually start AUX if things like steering wheel controls or the Atoto equalizer isn't working after a restart (Aux or FM will force a restart of the MCU hardware).
[Android Head-Units] Dr. Righteous:
Wow, I'm glad I found this thread. I just bought the ATOTO A6Y2721PB for my 2014 RAM 1500. My truck only has the plain nothing low end radio and no steering wheel controls, amp, etc. I purchased an adapter harness and was wiring it up and found there was no 12v ACC wire in the adapter main plug harness. I realized this "switched" 12v line comes from an accessory that adapts your head until for CANBUS. Well, was told I didn't need that because my truck does not have all the extra options. Just ordered the adapter from Amazon, $37 bux. What made me decided a ANDROID head unit was the way to go was because so many regular brand (well known brands) use a proprietary OS and will not support FLAC file playback. HUGE deal breaker. my 200+ CD archive is all in FLAC. A lot of people have told me the Chinese made Android head units are junk, don't buy one. Well, heck, the first unit I tried was a SoundStream head unit and it was junk; sent it back immediately. I used other well known brands and was not impress with the display, the with the crappy response from the touch screen and laggy response. I don't care about a CD player so I see no reason to pay $600 or $800 for a head unit just for the brand name. I've upgraded the door speakers to Rockford Fosgate 6x9s and have a 10" Pioneer sub and NVX 5 channel amp. But I'm just going to install the head unit first and work the bugs out it. Eventually the NVX amp will drive all the speakers.
[Android Head-Units] tomurphjr:
I just installed the A6 in a 2006 Ford F250. My problems are the back up camera doesn't work (might not be the radio), my clock is off one hour ( made sure it was set to EST and still nothing), and the FM reception is terrible. I pick up two stations at my house. My factory radio picked up all the stations in my area. I've reseated the antenna in the back of the unit so that's not it. I can drive around and it will pick up a few different stations depending on where I am, but not the same stations in different areas.

I have an email into atoto and waiting for a reply. Thus far I'd really like this unit if I could get the above resolved.
[Android Head-Units] Dr. Righteous:
Wow. The backup camera is just a generic hookup. Did it work fine with the old head unit?

The Front camera which plugs in the USB port is proprietary. You have to get the 720p camera that Atoto sells.($29 on Amazon)

To my surprise the radio on the Atoto is vastly better then the factory unit. It would only pick up a few stations. The Atoto picks up much more and with good clarity.

The only real issues I've run into so far is when I tried to install Android Auto. The google play store reported the Atoto was not compatible which seems odd.

I plan to add forward facing camera and the backup camera soon.
[Android Head-Units] tomurphjr:
I have a replacement camera on the way to test, so hopefully the camera is the issue. The old head unit is a factory radio with no camera connections.

I was able to resolve the time being off by going in and selecting the time based on my location via WiFi.

The reception is still terrible. Atoto support sent me links to an extention, but that's not the issue. Plus the adapter has one review, a 5 star review on amazon. The factory antenna has plenty of slack and plugs in securely. The guys on the Ford truck forms didn't need adapters, but the head units are Joying and a few other brands.

I'm thinking of using aluminum foil between the antenna and the head unit to see if that helps. If not, hopefully atoto support will help. Worst case, I'll be sending it back.
[Android Head-Units] saken.sf:
[MENTION=2474630]tomurphjr[/MENTION], Hi :) To fix the radio stations issue you will have to scan stations on multiple locations, it will pick up different stations according to the reception onsite, find all those you like and add them to favorites (you can even personalize the names on the favorites).

After that, you wont have trouble selecting them on favorites and listening anywhere you are.

I do not know why this works like this but I did also have very few stations picked up near my house, but then I tried a new scan in different places and found out about this, I only use the stations on my favorites now and it works great. Hope this helps!
[Android Head-Units] Blakestr:
Just ordered this : my 05 hyundai elantra, and I'm trying to anticipate any install adapters I might need (have double din kit and metric harness) - should I order a power noise filter for this? Also, do is there any special USB cable (for mirroring) that comes with it or do I need to order one?

Finally, how does reversing camera work when you are using mirroring? Does it just seamlessly switch over hopefully?
[Android Head-Units] tomurphjr:
Torque Pro

A few updates for my issues.

I was able to resolve the FM reception by pulling the antenna cable out of the radio a little. It's not as snug and I think it will come out over time, but for now the reception is great!

Backup camera still not working and I've replaced everything but the radio. I'm going to check everything a third time, then if still not working Ill bench test everything minus the radio.

Lastly and this is a deal breaker for me. Torque lite is installed on the device, and I'm unable to install my paid "pro" version. I get a 505 error when I uninstall the "lite" free version and try to install my paid version from the paly store. The only way to get torque back at all is to factory reset.

The pro version is a must as I have a Ford diesel and a few must watch parmaters are only in the pro version.

I've sent an email to atoto asking if the is a way to install the pro version. If not, it's being returned.

Sharing what I found on my Atoto A6 for Google Assistant to work (voice commands and replies): I can now ask by voice for weather and traffic updates, I can send hangouts messages to my contacts (all this by voice and Google Assistant also replies by voice). I did not test with Facebook messenger or Whatsapp as I don't have it installed but probably works too.

How: Clear the google app cache, make sure there's no updates on Google play. Install google contacts or similar so google assistant can actually "see" your contacts. Go to the Headunit settings and find the voice assistant setting (where you can select which voice assistant you want to use) and select NONE, this is important, I have found out that if you select google assistant it will not reply by voice (it will open a google search page only), If I keep the voice assistant setting as None it will reply to my voice commands when I do a voice search.

It does not make sense but this way I can use the Google Assistant partially (still cannot make calls but can do most voice commands).
[Android Head-Units] tomurphjr:
Received a reply from support. None of the other apps tech support mentioned will work for what I need to monitor. Hopefully they won't give me a hard time with the return.

Hi,

Sorry for the trouble. Currently torque pro is not available on the A6 unit. Does the factory torque app on the unit work well? It may show less car information than torque pro.

If the factory torque app do not work to your satisfaction, you can try the following apps OBD Fusion, Car Doctor, Dashcommand.

If it is a paid app I can refund you for the cost.

By the way, could you please provide the order number?

Please let me know if the problem can be solved.

The Atoto support is great, they go to great extent to provide a good service.

Has anyone tried the new app Android Messages from google? If this works it would totally bring SMS voice read\reply to this head unit... I cannot get it to work on the head unit :( I think it's due to the screen size... Anyone knows how to make an app compatible with bigger screens?
[Android Head-Units] Dr. Righteous:
Wow, Android Messages is about 4 years old; not new at all. I use it exclusively on my cell phone since it works better than the lame message app included by the service provider. The rule of thumb is of an app available for a tablet, it should work fine on the head unit. Will have to experiment myself to see what results I get.

I had some issue with getting data connection to the head unit. I tried a wi-fi hot spot and it fail., I ended up getting new phone (Moto G Plus v5, excellent phone, unlocked and support GSM and CDMA for $224 on Amazon). I tried the Wi-Fi hot spot again and it work first time an provides great throughput. Turns out the issue was my old phone. Why? don't know, it would deactivate WiFi hot spot as soon as I tried to connect another device. :confused:

By the way; What happened is my wife's LG V10 phone died; wouldn't boot. All attempt to fixed failed. I decided to give her my V10. Off we go to the Verizon store to phone shop. I didn't like the prices and the salesman told me "you can't get a good cell phone for less than $600" . I laughed in his face. I ordered the Motorola phone and am very glad I did.
[Android Head-Units] saken.sf:
Omg :eek:

Honestly thought it was a new app, my bad, so sorry. I was so hopeful it would be updated and made compatible... I'll check the apps for tablets and see if I find something alike that will work, thanks for the tip! :o
[Android Head-Units] Croak:
My backup camera on my A6 "P" stopped working months ago, tried a new camera, tried a new harness, tested the cameras on another head unit and they worked, just assumed I had a faulty head unit and didn't want to **** around with sending it back, so I lived without it.

ATOTO support just sent me a link to the new 9.4 firmware update, and the MCU update. Ran the updates, and like magic, my reverse camera was working again. And the new firmware now shows my battery level and signal strength of my Bluetooth connected phone up in the notification bar, which is kinda nice. And FINALLY, the FM radio issue is gone, it no longer auto starts. Happy day!

The new firmware also gives you the option to set your own MAC address for WiFi, which could solve some speed issues some folks are having.

Link to new 9.4 A6 firmware (for all models):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/v20sj72ls6r2ou5/update.zip?dl=0

Link to A6 MCU update (this is not for the new A6Y units!)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2g0i0w0x4c2j713/zh_arm_mcu.bin?dl=0

Copy both files (update.zip and zh_arm_mcu.bin) to the root of your SD card, and after the system boots, it'll prompt you to do the update. Do the firmware first, let it install and reboot (this will take quite some time to verify, install, and then let Android prep apps). Once that's finished you'll get the prompt again, this time chose Update MCU (this is much faster) and you're done.
[Android Head-Units] intruda119:
Is the newer a6 any better? Eventually want to upgrade to something with more ram and physical buttons.
[Android Head-Units] Croak:
I'll know in a few days, have the A6Y Pro on the way from Amazon.

The whole 2018 A6Y lineup gets a better amp, looks like a higher quality display, BT 5.0 with APtX, better WiFi antenna, another video input, front panel Aux, front panel USB on most, and physical buttons in a better location (along the bottom). The Pro also has IR gesture control, really looking forward to seeing how that works, but even if it's a bust the upgrade from my touch-only A6 to the physical button A6Y will be nice.

That said, the besides bug fixes, the older A6 with the new firmware seems a bit more responsive, looks like they tweaked the digitizer settings so touch control is more accurate too, and it's still a decent buy thanks to a true fast boot, bright IPS display, mostly stable software, reliability, and dual Bluetooth.
[Android Head-Units] intruda119:
I have no real issues besides how long it takes to update apps and such. My unit wasn't plagued with common issues.

I really want physical buttons. Especially with new rules in Georgia.
[Android Head-Units] Croak:
Yeah, I think the long app install times are related to how they cache memory to enable the 2-second boot.
[Android Head-Units] rudmonster:
Atoto is hit or miss! I have been through all sorts of issues with the A6 . It is one of the worst products I have ever used . I use the word used lightly because I am on my third head unit and everyone I have gotten has been defective . The Customer support is terrible (Not Technical but Customer support). I just recieved the 2018 A6 and it has no sound . You are better off making your own Android or Raspberry Pi system than wasting your money on this company.
[Android Head-Units] Tuonomaster:
Hello, can someone compare music quality of Atoto A6 pro with some premium brands (pioneer, alpine)? I sound quality ok or its better to go on some pioneer?
[Android Head-Units] Aadieu:
As I understand it, you can use their built in amp OR hook it up to an outboard amplifier (like the aforementioned pioneer, alpine, etc)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] IconBoy:
I have a clear plastic case for the GPXL2 and use one of those metal plates you get with the magnetic car mount.

I wanted it to be white so it somewhat blends in with the white of the panda XL.

I tried spray painting the metal plate white but it wasn't smooth.

Anyone have any (cheap) suggestions on how to get a white metal plate?

Would Home Depot or someone similar have something suitable? I searched for white dog-tags but the cost wasn't worth the effort. Amazon had other colors butvthey were silver, gold or rose gold...just not white.

I figured there must be some panda 2 XL owners who have done something so that the beauty of the phone isn't hidden behind a solid color case as well as not having a black eye-sore metal piece between the phone and case.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Mikulec:
couldnt you just buy white vinyl sticker/wrap and cover the black plate?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jasoraso:
I tried using white "PlexiDip" to paint my metal plate. It didn't hold up well, mostly since I don't keep my in a case 24/7.

Maybe I'll look for a vinyl sticker/wrap.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] def-g:
Use Enamel paint. Let it dry for 24 hrs and you'll be golden.

I have SM-920t Samsung S6

it glitchs & reboots again & again

I don't know what's going on ?!!

my brother try to update from android 6 to 7 & when he was doing that the electricity when off so the phone was just in a boot loop ( it shows only the S6 startup test & that's it )

so we did the right thing & gave it to the local repair & they did't know what to do ( ikr )

I toke the task of fixing it & I started downloading & flashing it with android 6

btw I always had this problem , when I flash TWRP in it & try to wipe cache or anything it tells me that "/data" is not mounted so I looked for that problem & I found out that there is a way in TWRP to change the file type so I was always changing it to EXT2 & the TWRP start wiping cache or anything I want to do .

update :

I think I fixed it

I had this problem when I was using android 6.0.1 & whenever I put just small stress on the CPU it glitches & reboot and it happen over & over again

so I downloaded a new firmware with the android 6.0.1 & then upgrade it to 7.0.4 & now no matter how much stress I put on it

it dose not glitch & reboot

I think it's stable, I even put it through Antutu Benchmark just to make sure & it works just fine

so can someone please explain to me what's going ? :)

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] elite22sg:
Hi

I am using Mate 10 to connect to Toyota Camry (asia) 2017 on the bluetooth player.... I can play the song and can select next track...however, this are the problem that I encounter.

1) the name of the song (display on Car player) does not update when I select the next song... it is always display the first song.

2) the volume always go to minimal on my M10, when I switched to bluetooth connect...... ... This does not happen on my Huawei P8, in which when I switch between radio and bluetooth, the phone always remain the same volume scale.

3) I have select the APPmenu in Camry but this is always failed when I pair with Mate10...

I have tried to pair in many ways : car to phone, phone to car but does not work... for item 1.

Not sure if Mate 10 has issue on other bluetooth devices in other car model. ?

Thank in advance.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Cephalus:
No issues with my 2017 Kia Carnival but I'm not using the stock music player - I'm using PlayerPro.

You might want to try installing a third-party music player on your 'phone temporarily to test the issue (though you'll have to manually stop & close the stock player, then open the third-party one, after connecting to your car). If you still experience the same problems, the fault is with your car; if not, it's time to investigate permanently changing your music player.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiltonJ:
I figured it out! See this thread...

Looking for some help with enlarging /system.

I've been trying to install decatf's AOSP 7.1.2 with an enlarged /system partition so I can fit a full GApps on from the start. Installing Pico or Nano is leading to issues where I cannot get past the setup screens.

I DID successfully do it once, unfortunately I do not remember how. Was booted into 7.1.2 with a 1GB /system partition. Unfortunately, I had made a mistake and had to restart, and haven't been able to duplicate it since. I've been through dozens of wipe/repit/restore combos and just can't get it. Whenever I set the new PIT file, I cannot get back into Recovery afterwards. I really have no idea how I did it.

Does anyone know the correct order/method to get this done?

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] digi-rj:
(First post and not really good english)

One week after i bought my phone (HTC P4350, unbranded) i discovered this site/forum. A very usefull site, i learned much.

Now i am going to try to build my own rom. Based on this howto. (not Vista, but XP Professional)

(WM6: All WM6/WM6.1 ROMS --> All Official HTC Roms --> WWE version)

first i followed the howto without modifications to SYS and OEM to test if everything was working. result: as expected, a working phone.

next step was to remove some folder from SYS.

first try: remove 'windows update' (AUTOUPDATE, Autoupdate_Lang_0409)

flashed to phone, result: Start->Settings->Tab System->Windows Update fully functional, so it is not removed at al, :confused:

second try:

restored AUTOUPDATE, Autoupdate_Lang_0409

removed INTERNETSHARING

flashed to phone, result: Start->Programs->Internet Sharing, functional for so far i could test (no internet on phone, sim in other phone), but IntShrUI.exe was available in \Windows:confused:

Troubleshooting/Guesses about what went wrong

- Am i deleting stuf in the right directory (C:\Core\Hypercore\Build\SYS)

- Can i continue working in the kitchen after i flashed one time, or should i delete c:\core and start al over again by every modification?

after some houres searching on google and this site i did not found the solution or anyone with a problem like this.

i am doing something wrong, but do not know what.
