How can I unlock the gestures in photo?

http://i68.tinypic.com/16i7j3s.jpg
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Ah, alrights I will try this.

Anybody knows any way to increase the volume of notification sounds? I installed a volume control app but when I change the notification slider, it goes back to where it was. It's set much lower than media and others and can't change that.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Answered my own question, yes you can. And thus you can remove the bottom navigation bar that Atoto insist you have.
[Android Head-Units] aliak47:
How do you remove the navigation bar, even the upper bar? I just need to be able to swipe down from top for menu and swipe left and right for going back and forth(like iPhone and samsung)
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
USB debugging didn't resolve the issue.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
if you can get to a PC and install ADB. Connect the Atoto unit to to it with a male-to-male USB cable and then once it has installed the drivers on the PC etc you can communicate with the unit as if you have root access. I run a launcher on my unit (FCC launcher), so i changed the launchers display mode to "full immersive" and that means it runs full screen over the top of the lower and upper navigation bar.

I haven't tried, but i suspect if you grant the official launcher the same rights then it will do the same. I forget the name of the original launcher, i think maybe Home3?
[Android Head-Units] aliak47:
Thanks, i will try now and see if i can find this setting.

Already have rooted my device so i have full access.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
If you have root you can probably use Tasker to set a task to send an app to immersive mode. Youd need to buy tasker though. If not then you can connect to a PC and run:

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=XXX

where XXX is the name of the launcher, which i guess you would need to try and find out.

My next step is to try to access a way to adjust/remove the tiles/quick launch icons when you pull down the top bar. Anyone achieved this, its surely do-able but its locked down by default on the Atoto? there are tiles on there i never use, and as it takes up 2 rows it just makes the pulldown notification bar useless really.
[Android Head-Units] CanadianWeasel:
I purchased an A6 Standard at auction. It's installed and works well, but it didn't come with either the GPS nor Wifi antennas.

Are there any antennas I can get from ebay/Amazon/other?

I can buy them from Atoto, but it's not cheap from them.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
Can you explain how you get root working please? the guide on other thread doesn't working with last update. Usb connection with pc is now disabled. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] aliak47:
Hi,

What update? I am not aware of any update recently. Have you tried following this guide? hippie459mn.com/main/atoto-a6-root/

That worked for me, my unit was new 3 weeks ago from China, A6YVW721PRB. Latest firmware 9.5.1.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

This did not work for me, the command executed but the ui didnt change. However your info got me thinking maybe i try a free app just to see... so i downloaded an app called Immersive fullscreen mode tool with keyboard support. I followed instructions in the app with ADB command, using MTK droid tools. It looks great now, full screen. And using swiping to get it back up.

Do anyone have the problem that the SD card is really slow to initialize after powering up the head unit? Mine is so slow, that when TIDAL music auto-starts after last shutdown, the app tells me the stored music(which is stored on the SD card) is not available. So it takes forever before i can actually play music from the SD card... Is there some way i can make the SD card ready as soon as i start the unit? Fast like the internal memory? I know that the memory card is checked by the unit software after booting, any way to modify this somehow in my favor?

Weird solution to my noisy internal microphone

Like others here, I've had microphone issues with the internal microphone. I have the VW variant, and when I first installed the head unit, I made some test calls and everything seemed fine.

Then I got to driving, and sometimes people could hear me, but other times I was told it sounded like I was "talking through water." It was really frustrating.

What my problem turned out to be was my heater/ac vents blowing "wind" down and toward me. It's summer, and they're on most of the time. The air cut between the mic and me. When I turned the blower down, or just flipped the vent so the air went up instead of toward me, people could hear me just fine.

Weird, huh?
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Great! Although I'm thinking the fact you used an app to grant full screen permission and it worked means you should have been able to grant it directly... Interesting. Still, worked out in the end.

I have been struggling and I've pretty much given up trying to work out how to amend the quick setting navigation buttons on the pull down. I just don't think it's possible which seems crazy that Atoto would disable this function. I have absolutely no need for "screenshot", "sound" or "standby" and if I could remove them then I could reduce that bar from 2 lines to 1.

I have the A6 Pro for toyota/subaru (A6YTY721PR), would this firmware work for it?
[Android Head-Units] sd_shadow:
Yes all A6y models.

If you find out, please share.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I've got a brand new (got it 2 days ago) A6 Premium Toyota unit and can confirm the USB ADB still works.

Make sure you've plugged in the 2 USB cables with the mini white plug at the headunit end and use the one labeled quick charge. NOT the USB on the headunit itself.
[Android Head-Units] tazmahv:
hello everyone great thread I have a mitsubishi outlander from 2007 - 2012 I would like to mount the Atato A6 pro but I have doubts if it will work well with steering wheel controls and hifi rockford equipment + amplifier I hope someone for advice

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] aliak47:
Hello,

I have a hifi setup with Hertz frontset hertz 5ch amp and gladen subwoofer. It's actually really good sound coming from the atoto. I just have some issue with noise coming in from starter engine if I start after the amp is activated. Everything else is perfect. Advice though! Don't use the sub out on the atoto, as it is really weird. It just stops at volume 20 or something. It's much better to use either 1 or 2 rca from line B on head unit to the amp input. The voltage seems higher coming from line b as well, so you get more gain and more bass.

I have not tried steering wheels so best if someone else give advice.
[Android Head-Units] nimbus22:
I have the same SWC buttons on my 2014 Subaru outback. As long as the buttons put out resistive controls your should be fine and not need any additional swc modules. I have some posts in this thread detailing my swc wiring with the Atoto.
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Automatic Key Illumination Control

Any way to keep the bottom hardware button lights off and have them to turn on automatically when you flip the headlight switch? That would be very neat and go along with the rest of the interior lighting and it's possible since the headlight on/off information is already available from the headlight dimming.
[Android Head-Units] Vee63b:
Thanks, so it looks like Nova launcher has working widgets, I'm wondering if other launchers have working widgets too.

FCAM - mirror image

Hi all,

I installed a front camera (using a back camera) on my car. Images are mirrored, could somebody modify original Atoto FCAM apk in order to show on screen not mirrored images?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] ryanwiggum:
I installed my A6 Pro today. I ran the external mic from my dome light housing where the OEM mic was. I found the cable was a bit short. Has anyone used an extension cable with the external mic? Did it hinder its effectiveness?
[Android Head-Units] mcaptur:
Auto dimming stopped working. Check wiring and signal is still ok (i.e. + 12v when headlights are on) any idea what could be wrong?
[Android Head-Units] BarryR1:
Apologies if I'm stating the obvious but did you try rebooting? I don't recall if there's a setting for this also.

Finally, customer service at Atoto is very resonsive, did you try them?

If all else fails, you could reinstall the OS (doesn't destroy your installed software & settings).

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

I concur. I put on in my Miata and like it very much.

The 2 short-comings are: 1) it can be a bit slow - not an issue when playing music really but as you launch things (especially google maps) it takes a little time to do its thing. 2) As noted above, the built in software is clunkly & ugly. I mostly solved that with AGAMA launcher.

FInally - if you need / want fancy audio controls like built in cross overs this won't do it. I don't think any of the Android units do.

They may be coming out with an update soon. We'll see what they improve.

[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
I tried this myself just out of interest and it worked. Maybe you entered the command incorrectly? See attached screenshots, hope it helps.
[Android Head-Units] aliak47:
Perhaps! But i got the command executed, if something was wrong console would have told me, no?

Anyway, i have different version of ATOTO than you, does that have any say?
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
It shouldn't.

Connect to the head unit and on the laptop get the list of programs with it. I saw the native launcher was called "launcher 3" so just ran the permissions change on that and it did it. Maybe a different Atoto has a different app name for the launcher? The command to get the app list is "ADB shell pm packages" if I recall, then go down the list and find the launcher that Atoto use.
[Android Head-Units] BarryR1:
Just seeing this now.

It's not a lite version that comes with it but it's impossible to update Torque Pro.

I tried deleting it and then upgrading but that didn't work (ended up with no Torque Pro).

I then contacted Atoto support, the told me to reinstall the OS. That didn't work.

Finally I asked them to send me the Torque Pro APK that came with my Pro. They did & it worked but that just put me back where I'd started (with an older version of Torque Pro).
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
I'm pretty sure the version of Torque Pro they put on is hooky. It's a paid app that I haven't paid for. In fact a lot of the software on there is pretty dodgy.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
How do you connect with adb? Can you explain the procedure? because Atoto blocks the USB connection with pc
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Just the same as any other Android device, it's no problem. Just Google how to use adb to connect to an Android device.
[Android Head-Units] cla_laguerra:
Up
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
I know the procedure but i can connect atoto to pc with usb cable as many users. Atoto block this type connection. So i would to know how do you connect it to pc (port, cable, driver etc). I also tried with adb wifi, i can connect with device but i can't authorize because i never connect it by usb.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Sorry I don't know. I connected it up and it installed the Atoto driver on the PC automatically and then I can run commands without issue.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
Which model do you have? Which port do you use? Do you use a particular usb male to male cable? Which OS version is installed?
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
I've got the top spec Pro model. You can only connect with 1 port out of the 2, listen for the usb connected sound. Just used the first cable I found in the cupboard. The OS is the latest one available, it came as standard on the unit.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
I have the standard version, maybe only pro version keep this usb connection. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
I wouldn't have thought so, but I'm afraid I'm not in a position to test that out for you.

Just installed my ATOTO A6 PRO. I am having horrible distortion coming from my speakers during in-call Bluetooth connection. I first thought it was my phone as other phones worked but then some others had the same issue.

I found that the in-call volume on my phone and the other phones was the culprit.

Now my problem is that I need to have my in-call volume super low in order for my speakers not to distort.

Anyone else experiencing this? Atoto support has been zero help.

So what's the point of the radio widget if it doesn't cycle through your saved stations, or am I missing something here?! I don't want to have it scan all the frequencies every time, this seems crazy, am I doing something wrong?
[Android Head-Units] louis_prime:
Contact Metra support. I spent hours trying to get the ASWC-1 to work with my 2011 Malibu and finally called support. I was told that I had a newer harness and the instructions on their web site for the Malibu wouldn't work with that harness. CSR gave me the correct instructions and I was up and running.
[Android Head-Units] comptechltd:
There is also a separate thread in this forum about the Atoto and steering wheel controls that helped me a lot.
[Android Head-Units] nimbus22:
There is an "FM radio" widget. Click on that and program your favorite stations. Your favs will show up as programmed softkeys. You need to launch this app whenever you want to select your favs. If you have steering wheel controls mapped, you can jump to the next fav station.

The radio widget you are using in your pic can only scan stations and will ignore any fav stations you have set up.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Are you saying there is a different widget to what I posted? I've never seen an FM radio widget in the list, do you have a photo?

Ive got my stations saved in the actual radio app but I've never saw a widget to control the stations from the homepage/desktop unless I launch the app, so it's not exactly a widget. The widget where you can only scan frequencies is basically totally pointless!
[Android Head-Units] nimbus22:
I'm using nova launcher to change the look of my atoto.

First pic shows the fm radio widget. Second pic shows the programmed stations which can be cycled through using the soft keys or SWC keys on the steering wheel.

Thanks but basically what I said was true, the radio widget doesn't cycle through saved stations? If so then what is the point of it!

Hi to all

I have an atoto a6 2710sb And works good, but when turn off and turn on some process are killed from sleep mode for fastboot.

I am curious what you find out. I have an app that whenever it goes to standby it kills the app and on restart it is nowhere to be found until I reboot.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
I have been working on this problem for weeks, sadly there is no solution. I use KLWP as a live wallpaper and on reboot the service gets killed, as does the accessibility services. No matter what I've tried, natively or via tasker/Macrodroid etc you just can't control it. Best I've came up with is a tasker shortcut icon that I click after its booted that fires up the services/apps I want. It's a real problem and it's disappointing that they have taken away the control needed. I've honestly spent weeks on it to no avail. We need access to the "whitelist", but we can't get to it. Think we need an Android programmer on this one...

2) Has anyone used ViperFX for this unit? is it a good audio app if so?

3) How do I increase the font size? particularly for Spotify.

4) Does anyone elses unit keep disconnecting and reconnecting to Bluetooth? if so whats the fix?

From the Atoto support page, 4 days ago.

I just don't understand what the first point means :eek:
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
They have a ton of things to address, but I'm not massively hopeful!

Killing things for fast boot but then not giving you access to add or remove from that list is just crazy. This is Android after all.
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Is not Android.

They are Atoto, not Samsung, Apple, Microsoft, etc...
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
It's still Android, just Atoto have aggressively locked down a lot of things which make Android enjoyable, and as such its a problem for my set up. You can't even root it sadly, not without issues.
[Android Head-Units] louis_prime:
To be fair, Atoto makes no secret of the fact that they have customized Android and locked it down on their units. There are other vendors who offer unlocked units and, if you want to or plan to customize the OS, you should purchase one of these units.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
I assumed as it was Android I would have access to certain things. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the unit, but I can't just buy a different one due to cost.

I saw no mention for example of not being able to adjust, add or remove a quick setting tile on pulldown. It has screenshot and standby, which I will never use, ever, so I should be able to add or remove them. Or the fastboot kills all services not on a whitelist, but you get no access to this list so it's killing things which I need on boot.

Anyways hopefully it'll improve with be firmware as time goes on, but at present it's a bit too forced to be truly enjoyable.

Cheers guys.

[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
As long as it's running you will be good to go. The problem is the service will be killed when you take the key out, so you'll need a shortcut to start it up again. Attach the shortcut to a button or a procedure like "Bluetooth connected" etc. Im using this to start up the killed service "accessibility service" for tasker and a few others like KLWP.
