Yeah I have a few of them ? Installed one on my girlfriend's car and one on mine. I'm happy with the units. For the price I can deal with a few bugs here and there. Mine is running August update(after light fix) and the other one is on like June. Would like to update it but I'll wait a bit. No need to have her yelling at me lol

Has anyone figured out how to trick Google Play Services (and other Google apps) to enable dark mode?

I noticed Play Store now has dark mode but I think this relies on a system switch.

Maps is beginning to roll out some elements of dark mode too.

edit: looks like it needs Android 9 onwards for official support.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
W.r.t. Maps: Maps will switch to dark mode (if necessary) when in driving mode. You can also have shortcut for that, but the CWG launcher (are you using it?), doesn't show it.

I wrote a mini app for that for another user that exactly does this: See Google maps driving mode, post #4.

FYI. The "2019-9-17" firmware is now available on Joying's website, including some notes.
[FYT Android Head Units] JoshC1994:
I'm looking at purchasing one of these units. I want to know if It would be powerful enough to run, HEMA maps(while tracking GPS location) and OBD2 while listening to FM radio. Also does it support OTG and how good is the GPS & Radio Quality?

Also how easy is it to modify the screen to suit the dash better. (Mount it more outward to clear car dash bezel?)

Is it worth the $650 aussie dollarydoos.

[FYT Android Head Units] yzf750:
I just wasted an hour updating. I love how it says in the notes on the firmware:

1. Add the Google assistant calling

It does NOT work after updating my unit just like it didnt before the update, and I believe Surfer also said its not working on his. Anybody have any luck with assistant calling with theres?
[FYT Android Head Units] tangcla:
Pretty sure my 7" one was much less than 600aud.
[FYT Android Head Units] JoshC1994:
I'm after the 9" one it's like $630AUD

Any other suggestions?

[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Please report to carjoying@gmail.com

I have reported it as well and got questions like:

- Are you logged on with your Google account? Yes, otherwise Google Assistant doesn't work at all

- Do you have your phone connected? Yes, of course. (really? this question? How stupid do you think I am?? That can happen once, but not 1-2 weeks in a row)

- Do you have your contacts synced? Yes, I have. And you get a totally different error message in that case. If you don't have the contacts synced or Google Assistant doesn't understand the contact correctly, it will say something like "I can not find the contact" (or something like that)

- They also asked me to reset the unit to factory defaults (post #1210), but that didn't help either. (but of course: you never know.)

Maybe you get the same questions ;)

If more users report directly, it might get more attention.

I really think they try to solve it, but based on the questions they do not seem to know the cause yet.
[FYT Android Head Units] SpoonerPS3:
I think I read it works if you change the DPI but that's definitely not a solution.
[FYT Android Head Units] tangcla:
Is Google Assistant the only issue with the September firmware?
[FYT Android Head Units] yzf750:
Yes I reported it to them. Its the one must have feature for me. I just get the same old "google assistant is unable to make calls at this time" voice still. I hope they figure it out at some point. So far Ive not had any other problems after upgrading .
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No, it doesn't work for the 9853i models. That made it work on the Sofias and the PX5s. I know that trick for a long time and it is also in my JET apk.

I did test that of course. I rooted my unit, switched to a terminal, switched to root and did the "wm density 161", but no go. I tried other values like 141, 151, 180, 181, 200, 201, but no go (as the 160 is wrong for my display anyway).

All joyings are set to 160 dpi, which is just an average. Plus/minus 20 dpi is not a big deal at smaller resolutions

A 10.1" 1280x720 has a dpi of 145. (my screen)

A 10.1" 1024x600 has a dpi of ~120 (117)

an 8" 1024x600 has a dpi of ~ 150 (148)

an 7" 1024x600 has a dpi of ~ 170 (169)

A 6.2" 1024x600 has a dpi of ~ 191

(my phone: 5.5" 1920x1080 = 400 dpi)

I mention my phone here as I sometimes see people only increasing DPI on their head units (based on their phones?), also in the other XDA sub forums, where they actually should decrease it for a "better experience".

(It's a really simple formula which you can find anywhere on the web. For example also here)

And finally: I had a few days the 14 Aug, where it worked right out of the box, and then the 19 Sept firmware, where it also worked right out of the box for a week or so. And suddenly it did not work anymore.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No.

- color wheel in the Settings is not correct size. I forwarded that to Joying with a correct image (and 4 example images why the image was wrong in case "my" English was not good enough to make them understand). And they forwarded it to FYT, so let's see.

- What I consider a bug: since the 14 August firmware you can no longer assign the "Back" function to an SWC key.

Not a bug as such, but very annoying and unusable: A lot of the Settings screens have black letters on a very dark grey background. See attached image and look very carefully: There are lines of texts on the dark background.

As such these are very minor bugs, but I report everything to joying (for the past few years).

Only the dialing via OK Google is in my eyes a big bug.
[FYT Android Head Units] tangcla:
That sounds to me, if there's no change to the device, it could be a Google app or server-side issue?

Just being devils advocate...
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
It could indeed be an update from the Google Assistant or one of the google frameworks. But that is why you do the "reset to factory defaults" to get the original software back. And that didn't help either.
[FYT Android Head Units] GregToR:
I'm looking to buy one, but it's for a car with steering wheel on the right side (left side driving car). Does that make any difference? a model for left hand side driving will work for right hand side driving?

but it seems AC temperature control will not be shown on the Joying unit, seems others have made that possible with my car (Nissan Teana J32, 2010 = same as Maxima A35). Does that mean such a head unit has modified hardware to make that possible or is that done through Canbus connection? so done through software modification?

See picture of AC temp setting view:

The car's standard display which shows radio station / CD info / AC temp setting has these connections:

if I replace my standard screen I won't know the AC temperature setting, so I'm looking for the same type of screen that would support it....
[FYT Android Head Units] yzf750:
Emailing back and forth to joying on it today. I really wish they would get someone that understands simple English to work there . I explained the problem in a simple sentence (google assistant does not make calls with firmware update) , gave them my model number, told them I updated to the latest posted firmware.

All you get back then is "we need to know where you bought it from, proof of purchase .(shakes head like what difference does that make, its a Joying unit) I hope more people email them, then just maybe they will fix it right so it works.

To me its a number one safety item while driving. To be able to make hands free calls in rush hour traffic without touching the phone and watching where your going instead.
[FYT Android Head Units] SpoonerPS3:
Lol yeah I guess that Google translator doesn't always cut it lol
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Nr. 1 safety is NOT making phone calls at all in rush hour. ;)

It is proven to be way more distracting than even talking to/with a co-rider.
[FYT Android Head Units] PsychoMcSatan:
I currently have Google voice dialing working with my August ROM and DPI change was required (to 161), but so was the technique described in this post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79752408&postcount=614

After that, it worked okay for a while, then got spotty (sometimes bluetooth app just wouldn't open) so on a whim, I installed GVC Call Handler from the play store which, as I understand it, reformats the call request into something a little less confusing to the Joying Bluetooth app. Since installing that, it's been working fine.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I will try GVC Call handler (again) this weekend. I used that on the PX5 in combination with the 161 dpi setting as well.

But all those work-arounds were simply not necessary on the "first days" of a fresh firmware on these sc9853i units. The only thing you had to do at the first call was to assign it to the Bluetooth app, and then it worked.

Another option that sometimes helped people in the past was to use the Google contacts app instead of the BT app. Somehow Google Assistant could operate better via that app. If nothing works I will try that one this weekend too.
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
Mine is "still" working since i installed the 9/17 :fingers-crossed:

I don't have the GVC Call handler, i'm trying to remember if i did something special besides the "crruptoff" but nothing comes to mind ...
[FYT Android Head Units] yzf750:
If safety was a concern then the Joying units should be banned for sale in the USA :)

All OEM installed car units are configured to not let you input navigation while driving along with a multitude of other things locked down in them while the vehicle is in motion. Handsfree calling is allowed here so google assistant calling would be nice. Its against the law here to hold or touch your phone while driving but its allowed to make hands free calls via bluetooth or other methods. The real funny part? Since all oem units are locked down, our state law states an *in dash* screened unit does not fall under the handsfree law here. I can text message legally off the joying unit where as anyone else with a phone would get a 250 dollar ticket in my state. oh course I have no intention or need of texting while driving.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Of course I agree with only making hands-free calls.

But your argument is not correct. It is the approach for the "idiot driver who can't think for him/herself". Following your argument, phones in cars should/could be banned as users still can use them in the car even though it is not allowed. Or still following your argument: cars should be limited to the max. speed, otherwise drivers might overspeed.

The user/driver is always responsible and then I repeat: Nr. 1 safety is NOT making phone calls at all in rush hour. It is proven to be way more distracting than even talking to/with a co-rider.
[FYT Android Head Units] yzf750:
Nuff safety talk....

I tried GVC Call handler tonight, no go, still didn't work to voice dial. I also installed google contacts, google dialer, and hangouts to see if I could make google voice calls from the head unit also using the 4g internet(i have a joying with sim model) on my unit and data calls. Google voice will make a call (assistance doesn't do it you have to dial off the screen) but it goes to peoples phones voicemails immediately, no ring it goes right to their voicemail even with their phone on, totally weird and wont ring there phone. Really disappointed in the Joying firmware that doesn't work with google products correctly .
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Same here. I tried GVC call handler this morning and Google contacts: No go.

DPI is at 161: no go.

I also looked at Settings -> Apps -> Standard apps. Both the Bluetooth app and the Google app (the assistant is simply an activity of the Google app) have access to the phone to make phone calls.

I looked in the developer options if I could do something with Bluetooth settings, but the HFP protocol is not in there. Only BT audio codecs/protocols.

I also removed (forget) the Bluetooth connection on the unit and the phone and recoupled (for the 4th or 5th time): no go.
[FYT Android Head Units] yzf750:
Love Joying... Ive sent them everything they asked for as far as information , every email I stated that I have the "latest" firmware off their website along with the google call problem in it just so they know. Today they email back again, and ask if I have tried the latest firmware on my unit. Dumber then stones they are.
[FYT Android Head Units] Guyzer73:
Morning All,

Just a quick question, does anyone have the Joying Tesla style 9.7"HU installed? If so are you running the latest version of Android Auto on it? If yes could you post a picture of AA running as I'm currently toying with the idea of changing from the 10.25"wide screen display to this as the installation will be that much easier as I'll have no need to reroute the HVAC ducting, which is proving very difficult...

Here's the link to the HU I'm talking about: https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-android-8-1-0-automatic-rotatable-screen-car-audio-system-4gb-64gb.html

Cheers :good:

Guy
[FYT Android Head Units] Guyzer73:
Surfer63,

I've been having a play with the HU to try and get the functionality that I want and based on what you say above I think I have an problem with the firmware. I've written to Joying and will wait their response but perhaps you can enlighten me... As you state above the radio should launch from reboot after a couple of seconds whilst android boots, however, this isn't happening for me. I've displayed deep sleep and cycle the reboot a couple of times insuring that the radio app is in the foreground when I turn the car off. When I then return 30 minutes later and turn on the ignition the HU boots, but the radio only starts once Android has booted and not before, any idea what could cause this...:confused:

Hoping you have some pointers as I fear Joying will come back with some pointless questions. I'm currently running the August firmware for 1280x480 without any HW keys.

Cheers

Guy
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The radio app only starts on (re)boot. If you switch off ignition, the unit goes into "deep sleep". Upon deep-sleep all apps are kiled including the radio app, whether you put that in the foreground or not.

After deep-sleep the radio app isn't auto-started, only at boot like you mention.

It doesn't matter whether you put the radio, a media player or something else in the foreground: all will be killed.

Also: After deep-sleep Android is fast enough to prevent the radio hardware from playing. So for that reason there is no necessity either to start the radio app.

Only at (re)boot the hardware is much faster than the booting Android can control.

The behavior you describe makes perfect sense.
[FYT Android Head Units] Guyzer73:
Surfer63,

That's the problem, I disabled deep sleep in the settings to force power down and reboot, the result is that the radio doesn't start before android has booted like it should.

Therein lies the problem...
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
And did you already tried [MENTION=575209]bambapin[/MENTION]'s FYTstarter? Like you mentioned you would do in post #1151?

I guess that is currently your only option.

And now that I think of it. In all my experimenting so far on this unit, I made a lot of reboots and cold starts. Not in all cases the radio started.
[FYT Android Head Units] fabien_m2002:
Ouahh,

first time google voice calling works! I have installed september firmware and i can say "Call XXX" without failure.

Goog job joying!
[FYT Android Head Units] Guyzer73:
No I haven't tried [MENTION=575209]bambapin[/MENTION] app yet as I was hoping to avoid using additional apps as I think that's always the best route. Alas, Joying's firmware seems to have a mind of its own. Sometimes from boot the radio starts immediately, sometimes not. Sometimes from deep sleep the same, it's not consistent....:mad:

However, I will persevere as whilst the Seicane firmware was better in many respects you couldn't assign apps like with your FYT HW Onekey app, so Joying it is....

Thanks for the help, off to get my head round FYT Starter app and give that a try...

Cheers

Unless there's a really big compelling reason why not to upgrade....?
[FYT Android Head Units] yzf750:
Joying sent me back an email today telling me I must have google assistant installed for calling to work. Thank goodness they read all 4 previous emails that I stated it returns "google is unable to make calls" via the google asst voice when i tell it to call.

Any chance someone would be willing to.test out HEMA maps on a joying 8.1 intel unit? It on the Australian play store.[IMG="Hema Maps App"]https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtybdXWAkB4jlXCHUdoN6hAGPXSI?e=GjdUJy[/IMG]

Or if someone could tell me if I would be possible to run it?

Maybe I could try to flash a similar version of Android on my tablet and see if it works that 2ay?

I dont want to fork out the $$$ for not being able to use the 4wd maps in my 4wd. Hah.

how is the reliability of this system- does any one have experience for this model and can share experience with this model.

i am confused between another model from Dasaita- https://www.amazon.com/Dasaita-Andr...saita+px6&qid=1571067865&s=electronics&sr=1-3

i am not able to compare the performance of the devices joying have intel and dasaita have px6- anyone have ay idea about the performance comparision. i am not able to find it on google.

Hey for those with the LTE model, what size Sim does it use?
[FYT Android Head Units] hugorafael:
Contrary to what people are reporting, I haven't had much issues with my unit, but its not a joying, its a ZHAN with the same specs.

Every problem that I encountered I managed to solve but one, there is a hiss/static noise in the speakers when no audio is being played, its very low volume but still noticeable, when I press mute it goes away, so it might be software fixable, but I dont know how to tackle this yet
[FYT Android Head Units] kpitao:
I have this unit for about 4 months and do not experienced that many issues; Bluetooth works fine for me, the color does not bother me because the lights on my car almost match the white blueish of the buttons.

Any how, I would like to know if someone here that have this device uses an app called DI.FM (Digitally Imported) it's a music app.... that's the only app that crashes for me.

Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] ricanxd:
My experience has been good. The button lighting issue is not a big deal for me. I played with some setting which it actually changes color depending on time of day. Only odd thing I've noticed is that the DVR doesn't auto launch on mine for some reason. The light is on on the camera but it doesn't record unless I open the app.

Does anyone know whether the screens are interchangeable? I have a Toyota version 8" unit (SK: JY-TO138N4) and would like the newer and higher res (1280x720) 10.1" screen.
[FYT Android Head Units] yzf750:
I have this model for a few months:

1: it has the hiss from the speakers if nothings playing as others have posted

2: google assistant does not make calls on it and Joying is of little help fixing that

3: Sometimes it does not go into sleep mode and will kill your battery overnight, you have to switch fast boot off and live with 30 second boot times from starting the car

4:The dvr (dash cam) fails to start automatically most the time despite being a joying dashcam with their software. Annoying to start the app manually each drive

5:Hit or miss with the limited 4G wireless bands, I'm covered here most the time where i live but not when i travel to other towns or states.

6: Paired with my alpine amp the sound is ok out of it

7: bluetooth call quality is horrid

8: For the 289 dollars I paid for it new its acceptable I guess for what it does.
