Mine is not canbus. It is wired correctly as there is only a full time 12 volt, and Acc 12 volt that switches off when truck is off. And then a ground wire Hard to mess those 3 wires up. I put the blame on joyings shoddy firmware/software and increased current draw over the stock radio that was in the truck when its off. Its not terrible if I drive daily, but if it sits for over 14 days the battery will be almost dead. Problem started as soon as the joying was installed.I have checked 2 times to insure that the 12v acc and 12v always powered wires are correct. I dont know what the current draw the joying takes when the truck is off and its powering off the 12v constant to save its settings such as radio presets and everything else, but it must be way higher then the stock radio was.

FYI - New firmware (2020-04-07) is available on Joying's site.

Improved feature:

Solve the Google voice calling problem.
[FYT Android Head Units] davemazo:
Firmware

Just installed it and voice calling still not working for me. Even worse something has deleted my contacts (apart from 11 random ones) from my Gmail account. THANKYOU JOYING
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
I have not yet installed but you can rollback your contacts to a past savepoint using the Google contacts web app.

Thats what I thought but they were all deleted from my gmail account. Luckily on 18th March this year there was a backup I found in my Dropbox account which was nearly up to date but with looking back at texts and Whatsapp messages I managed to get everything back
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Do you have an Android phone? If so, do you have automatically backup to your Google drive? (which is done every 24 hours)

If so: first restore your contacts from Google Drive to your phone. Then let it sync back to your "central" account.

NEVER allow Joying to sync your contacts via Bluetooth. This is already a 3+ years issue, which Joying knows as so many owners already complained about this.

In the BT app you can import contacts, but never allow it to sync.

Please everyone: bomb Joying with your complaints about this. Again and again.

In China the government blocks access to gmail. Those Chinese users never notice this, which makes it a low priority for them.
[FYT Android Head Units] davemazo:
Thanks Surfer63. I do have an Android phone and I thought I had set my phone to backup but for some reason there are no backups stored in my Google drive, even now after performing a backup manually. I'll have to look into this.

The Joying unit must have synced in the background after installing the firmware. Once I had installed the firmware, I got DabZ working and then had to leave the car. I didn't consciously sync my contacts. I'll be extra careful when I go back to it tomorrow to finish setting it all up. Thanks for the tip, I must have missed (or forgotten about) the problem with syncing
[FYT Android Head Units] gal3_hun:
I think I have a FYT unit (described at #1706 ). SWC works well with my Kia Ceed car. The only issue is that it can learn only push button actions. E.g. I can teach the next or previous button to jump to the next or previous saved radio station. But in the original Kia HU these buttons can search for radio stations upward or backward if I press and hold them for a while. Is there any way to have this press and hold fuction in FYT units? Some special setting or maybe another application?
[FYT Android Head Units] yzf750:
Another failed attempt by Joying, they need to hire someone that knows what they are doing. 3 updates to fix voice calling and it still doesn't work on my Joying SC9853i unit.

[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I was already afraid so. Actually it is not Joying, but the fumbles at FYT.

I wonder if users with Witson/Teyes/Zhan/etcetera have the same issues.

And why do they release a complete firmware?

If you look at Teyes for example: Those units are also FYT based and they simply give you the option to either download the firmware (for G23 or G32) OR to download the canbus and server apk, which are obviously the only updated apks in the firmware. Copy them on your unit, double-click them to upgrade and done.

And by the way:

- Their update logs are really extensive compared to the 1-3 lines from Joying, and although not perfect they are in much better English compared to Joyings Chinglish.

- Their firmware is of 21 April instead of 07 April, and the previous of 23 March. Maybe they are 100% the same, apart from manufacturing IDs and the like, but still.

- And do they have a different launcher? or is it just an "artist impression"?

Note though that they also report on their website for the 23 March version

Does this mean it is solved in their 21 April version? or just not tested yet? Or again the same screw up as with our Joying firmware?

I think I will unpack their firmware and have a look at it. And also to look at Teyes in their forums and the 4pda forums.

Problem with new firmware 2020-04

I have installed the new firm on my "Joying" unit. I've also restored the entire unit so there are no problems. But now when the radio starts it sounds very loud and you cannot control the volume of the radio. Even if you go up or down it does nothing.

The music player if that responds.

Has it happened to someone?
[FYT Android Head Units] davemazo:
I'm not having that exact problem but sometimes the volume turns itself up to full volume. It has always done this so not as a consequence of installing the new firmware. I can only put my problem down to using the thumb wheel on the steering wheel of my Skoda too quickly. There has always been a problem with controlling the volume for me. If I use the on screen volume controller to turn the volume down it will just go back up again on its own to a set point no matter how it is stored in the settings. I don't have any hard buttons, everything is done by touch screen.
[FYT Android Head Units] Elkekas:
Confirmed, if I install the previous firmware from November 2019 it works OK. If I update to the 2020 firm the radio volume stays fixed and cannot be raised or lowered ...
[FYT Android Head Units] edcam33:

[FYT Android Head Units] tangcla:
So you buy a product, a third of the price of a 'name brand' and they continue to offer support and attempt to fix things for you. Which is more than what a big brand like Kenwood, Pioneer or Alpine would ever do, and yet all you do is abuse them and say they're the worst company. Why don't you walk with your wallet and buy another brand?

Oh, I'll tell you a secret. They're all mostly the same, other Chinese brands will have the same issues.

Ignorant fools. You're such a keyboard warrior.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I have seen a couple of strange things when upgrading to the 2020 firmware. Some settings are lost, from both Joying/FYT as well as external programs, some settings are still the same.

My steering wheel settings were partly gone. (I do not have a CANbus and neither builtin steering wheel buttons, but the Joying SWC.)

To be more specific: My Vol+ and Vol- settings were gone, as well as my Voice Search command. These 3 I had to "re-train".

Did you check if you still have the correct settings for either your CANbus configuration OR your 3rd party SWC?

(And yes, I also consider this a weak point in the upgrade.)
[FYT Android Head Units] davemazo:
Apart from the problem I had with this new firmware wiping most of my contacts from my Gmail account I have not had a problem with this new firmware. I understand now that allowing the unit to sync my Google account is not a good idea so I have disabled that but prior to the new firmware I never had an issue.

On my unit everything is back to normal, I didn't have to do anything other than sort out my contacts. Voice search command has never worked and still doesn't. I still have the volume problem as described above. I have learned to live with both of these problems and found ways around them. For voice calling I have found that my Samsung phone picks up my "Ok Google call x" voice command and it then transfers it to the unit handsfree so not necessarily a problem but strictly speaking not working as it should.

As for the volume problem, if the unit, without any input from me, decides to randomly turn the volume up to maximum I just mute it using the SWC built into the steering wheel of my Skoda until I can pull over to switch off and restart the car. Again, not ideal but I can live with it.

I haven't yet looked to adjust the configuration of the CANbus. I know there's nothing on the CANbus box itself. I'll have a look for software settings on the Joying

[FYT Android Head Units] kpitao:
I'm back guys.... and need some help....

My HU was running May software release of last year and it was rooted..... didn't update cause didn't have issues, except one witch I will tell you later....

I just installed November update and everything is fine, except root... so I try to root with the dev.zip from the other tread....

Had no erros, not even one but the unit is not rooted, do you think is because:

1 - Was rooted before and did not remove Magisk?

2 - Since the unit is on the car already I had no way to fully reboot on the necessary steps

3- I use Root Browser for the steps ( was already installed.

Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] Elkekas:
Hi,

In the end I managed to fix the volume problem. Apparently in factory settings they have modified the sound mixer. I have changed the default volume of the radio and the volume control is working.

[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Explained at several locations, but OK.

Add a file updatecfg.txt containing the line "twipe_all" to that text file. Nothing more and no quotes.

Then the upgrade will wipe everything and do a clean install.

No AM radio reception?

Hi – hopefully you can help and I am not out of my depth. I have had three Joying head units over the years. By and large they have been good, not perfect. My new one is the one in this forum. I’m very happy that it fixed the GPS speed reading wrongly, And zlink Apple CarPlay works very well.

However, a huge problem I have is that the AM radio does not work at all. It worked in the Joying head unit I just took out, so it is not my car aerial. Joying are now telling me that The AM radio in this unit does not work in Australia!!. I can’t believe that. Does anybody have this head unit in Australia with the AM radio working? Or any other suggestions about why my radio doesn’t work? Thanks!!
[FYT Android Head Units] le_p:
I've never used AM radio but have just tried it on my unit and it works. Also tried my other (& older SC9853i) Joying unit and it works too.

FYI, I am currently in South Australia.
[FYT Android Head Units] Pwb62:
Thanks! So am I. Joying being very unhelpful, saying It must just be incompatible with my location, and Australia is a big country. What a rubbish answer. I guess it could be a problem with my aerial (although the Joying headunit I just took out worked fine). I am at a bit of a loss to know what to do, but thank you for your very quick answer.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Same like you: I can't believe that!

If you know how to use a terminal app, then please open a terminal and type the command:

getprop | grep fyt.radio

You should get something like:

band3 and band4 are AM.

Please also do a:

getprop | grep radio.areanames

It should give you something like:

In the first quote you see "[persist.fyt.radio.area]: [3]" because I'm in Europe, but as far as I know that only refers to FM bands.

OIRT is Russia in case you did not know.

If you do not know how to handle the terminal, then download my HWGetinfo from my signature and share the results.

[FYT Android Head Units] Pwb62:

Thanks very much. I used your HWGetInfo - very easy. The output is as follows:

[persist.lsec.radio.areanames]: [USA,LATIN,EUROPE,OIRT,JAPAN]

Does that make sense? I am going to check the aerial connection again, in case i connected something wrongly on installation. But it worked before with the previous head unit. With this new one, i get static (not silence), but only very minor change in static at what i know are strong, local AM stations.

Thanks again!
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Yes, that does make sense. It displays the frequency bands the unit should support. You see 3* FM for 3*6 preference stations, and 2*AM for 2*6 AM preferences. (it also means there is absolutely no difference in units shipped to Australia or to the Netherlands. Completely as I expected as there is only one type of hardware and one type of firmware. So again: their answer is rubbish)

Note though that your area is also set to "[persist.fyt.radio.area]: [3]" being Europe. Does Australia belong to Europe, frequency wise? If not you might need to set that in you settings. (swipe the bottom bar. You will see the settings gear icon.)

Did you use an antenna amplifier with your previous unit and not with this one? Are you now also using a different car maybe needing an antenna amplifier?
[FYT Android Head Units] Pwb62:
Thanks again! Same car, same aerial set up. I just took the old joying unit out and put the new unit in. Even though I have checked twice before, I can’t help thinking that I must’ve done something to the aerial plug when installing. I will check again. In terms of region, I think when i have set this in the past we are Europe, but in any event I’ve tried all countries. I’ll have another go, and if I solve it, I will let you know.

Hello Everyone! I have a quick question. and I apologize in advance as the search function is not working for me in threads but I recently got a new Intel joying universal 7 in unit and have tried all the tricks I could find except flashing a config.txt file with the bluetooth=0 string in it but I cannot for the life of me pair any bluetooth keyboards with my new unit. It is running the latest firmware from joying and is now fully rooted thanks to the dev.zip that was supplied here. I had no problems with it. I tried switching the bluetooth apps with fx file explorer and the modified bt app that was referred to in this thread and with it's root functions and replacing it with stock b4 reboot and they still wont pair. Can someone guide me in the right directions to get these paired. I dont necessarily need ongoing pair ability but getting them paired at least once will help as I need to do this on the bench b4 install tomorrow. Thx in advance for any help you guys can provide. android ver is at 8.1

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

And is there any app or adb command in terminal to launch the stock aosp bluetooth app as it seems to be hidden from the system and all helper apps from the play store wont even see any devices in pair mode when searching or even turn bt on or off.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
If search is not working for you, report that to the mods. I have never heard of it, not even for "guests".

Like explained before: There is no bluetooth framework. All bluetooth functionality is in the FYT bluetooth app. The FYT bluetooth app is crippled as it only allows some hardware. That is hardcoded.

The bluetooth=0, 1,2,3,4,5 option only works for devices that are allowed but need some "tweaks".

2nd part: There is NO aosp bluetooth app.

What's more: also in AOSP there is NO bluetooth app as in an AOSP system it is implemented in the bluetooth framework and the Settings app.

sprd sp9853i manufacturer

Hi All,

I am a new member here I was wondering if any of you might help me.

I have head unit, model: sprd sp9853i. My bluetooth module seems not to be working well as every time someone calls me, tells me that he or she can hardly hear me but I can hear them very well. I have already checked the microphone & it is not the issue as the radio is connected via jack 3,5 input to the external microphone located near my head. I have also check the mic on some app to see if it is recording well - it is.. I think the problem is with the Bluetooth module itself. I aleady checked the Factory settings I improved the sound of BT so it is working a bit better, but still I would like to improve it.

I have been trying to find the contact to the manufacturer, but both Seicane & Joying said it is not their product.

Maybe you could help me here?

Regards,

Pawel

Does anyone have good bluetooth call quality?

Hello all,

Would really appreciate your help in trying to improve bluetooth call quality. My unit was purchased in April 2019, and for as long as I've had it, callers say they can barely hear me/that I sound too distant to be understandable. Have to shout for them to barely hear me. I can hear them fine.

In general, does anyone have bluetooth calling that works well?

For me:

- Included external microphone does not improve things, not even sure it's working.

- Tried a nice lavalier microphone as in the above post, and it just seemed to introduce a buzz into the system.

- If bluetooth mic sensitivity is the issue, I cannot find anywhere in the menus to adjust it.

- I have seen disabling google voice mic access may be a solution, but I can't seem to find where to turn this off either.

- I have not seen any followup replies to the above quoted post--any progress on disabling the internal microphone if that is indeed the issue?

Right now the bluetooth calling is completely unusable, which is a core function of any headunit. I would so appreciate help from someone on fixing this issue!

I have the November firmware update installed, have yet to do the April update. I use my unit basically exclusively with zlink/Apple carplay and in iPhone 11 Pro.

Thank you.

Thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate the info! My next question is I have seen a couple of old vids showing 2.4ghz keyboards and mouse combo units working for some older joying units but I also know they were not crippled as much as the new ones. I have a sp9853i unit and I hooked a pc 2.4ghz logitech dongle and keyboard to it last night and it recognized it as a keyboard but no input would come through. I am wondering if some small handheld units would work that were more specifically marketed to android users like this one I purchased and am going to try. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DDDLQZV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Has anyone had any success using one?

Can you check in the hoying site. They have the firmware of this version, you can open the zip file and check it.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I don't know where you found that one.

As far as I know the Joying firmwares don't have them anymore and their "standard" firmware is for 1280x720, 1024x600 and 800x480.

Didn't know that. Never too old to learn. But I do have a 1280x720 unit so I will first check what the actual resolution is.
[FYT Android Head Units] gamer765:
I made my own T'EYES firmware, but failed to realize that none of their units are 1280*720, so upon loading to the new firmware, none of the launchers actually loaded. Flashed back to Joying. Any other firmware with eyecandy compatible with our unit? My unit is 1280*720 2.5D IPS screen.

Update: Gonna answer my own problem. Found this config file for 1024*600 resolution. Delete the .txt extension.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Strange though. I am still on Joying (with some minor alterations), but my unit is at 1280x720 (also 1280x720 IPS). I can't find a single trace of any config file for that and had not expected that either as Android should auto-configure that..
[FYT Android Head Units] gamer765:
I believe it is a config file that gets flashed onto the display panel itself and the display panel reports it's resolution to android. I've seen many 2.5D IPS units and I'm starting to believe that they're all pretty much the same thing, the only difference would be the ones flashed to 1280*720 cost more.
