Return warranty?
[FYT Android Head Units] alexandro975:
Thanks for the reply, no guarantees. and I have been purchasing it for many years
[FYT Android Head Units] samuelcseto:
I can open the main app and adjust the volume without any issues. However, when I launch the companion micro apps, they just crash with "App Keeps Stopping". The same thing happend when I call the intents on the main app. Any idea what can be the issue?
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
It is lot of time i don't look at that code... maybe some new security restriction... what is the HU android version?
[FYT Android Head Units] samuelcseto:
Well, it should be Android 13, it's obviously not, my bet is on 10. One thing I noticed is that, when I open the recents windows through top right button I see the app disappear as if something prevents it from running in the background. If this is a security measure, it's super dumb, my unit has no buttons and only way to adjust the volume is to swipe from the bottom of screen to reveal the software buttons where I can use + and - volume. Any ideas how can I solve it?
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
I'll check the code later and I'll let you know
[FYT Android Head Units] samuelcseto:
Alright thanks, I've tried everything. Last resort was posting here :D
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
Try these versions please🤞
[FYT Android Head Units] samuelcseto:
Oh my god, they work! You are amazing! Can I know what you changed? I didn't use the micro apk, instead I am calling intents on the control app. Reason for that is when I opened the micro app while running CarPlay, there was a few miliseconds blackscreen. Here is a youtube video of my setup, if anyone is interested in this: VIDEO
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
Android 11 or 12, don't remember, introduced a new permission required to start a background service.

It looks like the fake android versions installed on the chinese Headunits are real only with regard to the annoying security changes :D
[FYT Android Head Units] samuelcseto:
Interesting :D I've noticed some additional UI elements in the main app, what are these for? My guess is sending the direct module commands?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
That was Android 10

Restrictions on starting activities from the background | Android Developers

developer.android.com

These units are 100% Android 10 in every way.
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
Yes, that was more or less the idea, but then I completely changed direction and decided to use an Arduino to intercept the signals sent by the universal controls on the steering wheel.

However if you are interested I can share the code.
[FYT Android Head Units] samuelcseto:
I would love to look at it, if it's possible ;)
[FYT Android Head Units] samuelcseto:
Any ideas why the controls stop working after leaving the car for a day? I assume it has something to do with deep sleep. As soon as I open the app again, the controls start working again. I tried adding the app to the app settings so it auto starts but I guess it doesn't? Would really appreciate your knowledge. Thanks.
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
Probably the accessibility service is not restored after a deep sleep (ACC_ON event is different from BOOT), check this post 1372.
[FYT Android Head Units] samuelcseto:
Yep, that's what I thought. So only way I can test this is if I root my unit and try your FYTStarter app? :D
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
Try to grant the permission to the jyhuremote package. FYTStarter is not needed if you just want to use the volume change.
[FYT Android Head Units] samuelcseto:
In order to do that, I need root, right? Someone mentioned that you need root to run the adb command. Besides, how could I connect to the unit? It only has female usb-a.
[FYT Android Head Units] bambapin:
It really depends on the HU, for example adb over wifi, male to male cable, terminal apps... I don't own anymore a Joying HU so I'm not up to date on models and features.

Hello

This Intel version have what kind of the MCU?

Is a MTCD?

Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] blinger:
You sure it's not the door warning?
[FYT Android Head Units] Ricardo Rosello:
It is not the one with the doors open. It is the parking sensor.
[FYT Android Head Units] twokidsandaphone:
I'm about to pull the trigger on a 9" universal model

Anyone recommend against purchasing? Primary uses are Waze, Spotify and occasional bluetooth calls

Thanks!
[FYT Android Head Units] ch_swat_89:
I have the same failure. Got a Beta-Firmware and a new APK from joying to figure out the problem....

There is a bug with the can bus box....
[FYT Android Head Units] Ricardo Rosello:
Solved the parking sensor problem?

Arenua the sound when gearing backwards? I do not attenuate the sound
[FYT Android Head Units] pajo985:
Can anyone make a little review about this latest units?

Are BT calls ok? External microphone - does it picks road noise?

And is audio quality ok?

Thx!
[FYT Android Head Units] twokidsandaphone:
See 1.5 hour review on YouTube. No comment in there on Bluetooth calls though as far as I know
[FYT Android Head Units] tangcla:
Music audio quality is great. However Bluetooth is not good. Every third call has issues (either I can't hear them or they can't hear me) and road noise is bad.
[FYT Android Head Units] pajo985:
thank you!

so...without reliable BT connection, and ability to make hassle free phone calls I think that I will pass current generation of android devices

Pioneer and Android auto will be ok for some time, I guess.. :)
[FYT Android Head Units] rigattoni:
I just ordered a double DIN with those 18% discount in the EU shop.

Hope it will ship out soon.
[FYT Android Head Units] merdok:
I did go with 2x 40x40mm heatsink and a noctua fan. I installed the new unit last week after some bench testing.

Things are going well, the sounds quality it much better than using viper on the Sofia. I have a couple things that I have not been able to find in settings anymore. Either moved or removed.

1. When the unit resumes from sleep with ignition on it no longer sets back to default volume level.

2. Cannot find where to mix the levels of music and navigation

3. The led on the buttons is always on and does not follow if headlights are on or off anymore.

4. Per app dpi (I guess might require xposed)
[FYT Android Head Units] PaulBorges:
Hello,

Tis only thing's that unit dont do is the line 4.

Check the 3368 password.:o
[FYT Android Head Units] merdok:
I can sort of get things to work but not correctly, or how did.

The default volume sets properly on boot, but not on resume state.

I can select a color but when dash lights off they do not turn off.
[FYT Android Head Units] PaulBorges:
Use the 3368 password and change illumination control to on.

If you have the same result is the cable disconnected.
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
THAT right there made me want to look into upgrading my Sofia (that has Viper for the sound because the default EQ it's simply trash). Thank you !

Keep this kind of feedback coming please. Don't stop nitpicking please. I find it very very helpful. Took me so many hours to test, tweak, config, flasing, reflashing my Sofia that I have a hard time doing all that over again with a new unit. Also I would like to read that must of the bugs have been iron out or at least have some workarounds...

I've been lurking these forums for a while reading up but so far the unit has many issues that keeps me for upgrading... Mostly software but still... Very annoying like the file manager popping up for no reason or quite deal breaking like the BT quality in a call
[FYT Android Head Units] ch_swat_89:
There is a new firmware with "9853i 1024X600 2019.4.3 Bluetooth.zip"

maybe this helps with your issue....

https://www.joyingauto.com/blog/category/updated-files-released/

The problem with popping up things (over can bus) still is there....
[FYT Android Head Units] tangcla:
Thanks, however I am so confused...

File name date April 3rd

Blog post date April 11th

Screenshot date April 28th

App date (on screenshot) April 22nd
[FYT Android Head Units] merdok:
I used the same soldered adapter which appears to have same pinout as Sofia. Doubt cable came unattached but will put on to do list to pull unit out to check.

I checked like 5 times, I don't have illumination control option. I do have lantern control, but only selects color. I did correct volume balance settings from first post in there.

EDIT

I did verify I'll wire connection good and same pinout as Sofia which was wired for and ran properly.

I wonder if could be from something I tweaked in joying Extra
[FYT Android Head Units] DustoMan:
Ya, it is kinda confusing. So I installed that update. I attached what the most current screen looks like now. The Apps date is 4/22 and the system date is 4/3. The Zlink app appears to be updated to 1.1.26 I think it was 1.1.11. Not sure what other changes there are.
[FYT Android Head Units] andTab:
So the BT call quality is bad for all of these?

Is there a way to configure sleep VS off when the car is turned off (ACC OFF)? I want it to be totally off with no vampire battery drain.
[FYT Android Head Units] ch_swat_89:
When I set up google voice to listen for "ok google" always, my handsfree talk is not possible (caller doesn't hear me).

How can i fix this?
[FYT Android Head Units] Cr4z33:
Did you see any improvement while doing BT phone calls?
[FYT Android Head Units] DustoMan:
I don't really use the phone part of BT so I can't really speak to that. I made one test call to my brother when I first installed the unit and it was fine. I am, however, still having the problem with BT Audio not ducking back up when Android Auto navigation notifications pop up. So that could be a problem with Android Auto.
[FYT Android Head Units] blinger:
I was given this new update to fix my BT phone problem (no sound from my end after a second of picking up the call). I'm still testing it.

This new update I noticed a few issues and wondering if others with this version have the same:

-Google maps navigation voice plays very slowly (like slow motion voice) - Changing the text-to-speech settings did nothing

-No notifications in the drop down top status bar (I can see the app icons in the top right of the status bar but no notifications when pulled down) - previous versions worked fine.

New features I noticed:

-volume can be adjusted for BT phone and BT music separate from the main audio (exit the BT apps and the volume reverts to main audio volume)

-BT phone ringtone different

-steering wheel buttons can change tracks in spotify (only when spotify is open, not in the background).
[FYT Android Head Units] tangcla:
GPS drops out with the new firmware for me, too.

"GPS signal lost" in slow motion...
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
It is in the Settings: first option.

And it lasts at least 30 days, so it is a very tiny vampire.
[FYT Android Head Units] kuku2004:
I Just got the unit and immediately flashed the 3.4 firmware I can also confirm the following problems:

Slow voice in Google maps (TTS changes do not fix the problem)

No voice in Waze

GPS signal lost

Waze freezing

Notifications pull down is empty (though there are notifications)

wrote an email to joying support but they are on a holiday leave currently and will be back 4.5
[FYT Android Head Units] kuku2004:
so my car battery is dead 48 hours after installing the unit...

car is VW, joying unit is with canbus adapter, ACC wire not connected.

anyone else?
[FYT Android Head Units] tangcla:
I've had similar problems with my car too.
[FYT Android Head Units] Floppie7th:
Are these units able to do operate in USB device mode (for example, to do ADB over USB) or are they strictly USB host mode?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Yes, but that is something completely different!! It has to do with inconsistent wiring in the VAG models.

I have a Skoda and had the same issue.

I wrote a document for that which I already posted more than 10x, and I'm going to do it again :)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4J3kKZoV78-Wk1CdVVwVlJmd0E/view?usp=sharing

Now my car battery is not drained anymore and I still have the deep-sleep feature.

Note though that this document was written more than 1½ year ago when I still had my Sofia, but it is actually regarding to the car wiring, not to the unit.
[FYT Android Head Units] 3vilhomer:
i just got the Joying JY-HO145N4 for my 2016 Civic. most stuff works great except:

1) phone app cant be minimize when phone calls in, it overtake my google maps screen.

2) phone calls is great in car, but not the person im on phone with... they can hear their own echo doesnt matter the external mic is install or not.

3) radio dont work, receptions are very very bad

4) gboard wont stay as default after restart. it will keep going back to android keyboard even i have disable it.

5) Waze have super slow motion voice and it will freeze like after 5 minute of navigating.

6) screen lock setting option is there but it doesnt do anything.

if anyone have any of these fix will be nice. overall it is a great head unit, super snappy
[FYT Android Head Units] kuku2004:
Regarding the slow voice in waze: check your firmware version date, the latest one from April has this issue in waze/maps. I solved it by reverting to the previous firmware.
[FYT Android Head Units] Thorsteenster:
I just stumbled across Joying today, and after reading through this, pulled the trigger on a UO135N4GS. I think I did anyway, it's not entirely clear on Amazon. Had a code for a free camera so grabbed that as well. I'll be putting it in my 04 Honda Odyssey, maybe Sunday depending on what time it arrives. Good thread and subforum!
[FYT Android Head Units] kuku2004:
so after using the unit for few days here are my observations:

Screen has pretty good brightness but for my taste its too bright at night even when using the lowest settings

Unit is very fast & responsive

Temperature is pretty high (can reach 80-90 degrees celsius when driving & using waze)

Bluetooth for me is good - i have no echo problems, people hear me well & i hear them well too (im using only the interior microphone)

i had the bug when the unit deleted all my contacts, fortunately i have a backup

GPS fix is ok, its on par with my cell phone i was expecting it to do better considering the external antenna

WIFI is mediocre (speed is 32-65 mbps tops) but its enough for what i use

Sound is very good - dynamic range, bass & volume (im only using the unit amplifier, i have no external one)

Overall im pretty satisfied though there are some few things i would very much like to change:

Control spotify from steering wheel - it works when spotify is in focus but not working when its not focused (maybe because its tied to the radio app?) - reverting to old spotify version solved the issue, for anyone interested version is 8.4.78.530 which as a bonus also looks a lot better on the screen...

Change the applications cycle when using the "MODE" steering wheel button (I have no use of the video app and would like to change the music player to spotify)

Google voice control/assistant works except there is no voice feedback (assistant answers but there is no voice)

I know how to program & even though im not an android developer if someone can point me to the right direction or give me some more info ( @surfer63 maybe?) i will try to work on it (will do it anyways LOL :))
[FYT Android Head Units] Kurosoul:
Can anyone post the new Zlink Apk 1.1.26 from the newest firmware Please? Trying to extract but can't figure it out on my own, thanks.
[FYT Android Head Units] Bussey:
Hey all, first time posting here & it’s also my first time ever purchasing and using an android headunit.

I purchased the Joying headunit: JY-UO135N4 and installed it into my 2003 Saab OG-93 SE.

Pros:

1. Sound quality is pretty nice. Better than the factory Clarion unit that came in my Saab. The quality may also be better than others because I have it paired to a Kenwood amp.

2. Extremely quick and responsive in the menus. No noticeable lag swapping between apps.

3. Apple CarPlay using Zlink has worked like a charm and is actually more responsive than the Pioneer headunit I have installed in my Dakota.

4. Customization with the different car launchers allows you to fine tailor and make it look extremely OEM.

5. The wiring harness that came with this unit was plug and play which is a massive bonus in the Saab community. The only thing I had to do was wir me key2 to the black and yellow wire in the SID so that I could retain steering wheel controls, and find an adapter for the antennae.

Cons:

1. Only CERTAIN settings are being reverted back to their original state. For example: Bluetooth will not remember either my phone nor my OBD2 plugin. I have the date and time manually set so that it will transition to night time by the time I leave work, however, this function also resets. I’m not sure if this is a common issue on Android headunits or not but it is frustrating as I was planning on using Torque 90% of the time. I’m retaining radio stations, button color, and other settings so idk.

2. Temps are on the high side. 80C+ I’m thinking it will need an external fan or heatsink to bring it down.

3. Steering wheel control config will not work with Zlink. Specifically with Spotify open on apple car play.

4. The brightness of the screen is excellent during the day, however, at night it is still entirely too bright even on its lowest setting. I’ve read using an app like Lux light will allow you to dim it further.

5. File manager will randomly open up at times. It’s not so annoying that I am trying to fix it but it’s still an issue nonetheless.

6. Some functions in the settings menus just do not function. I’m not sure if this is across the board on most units or just mine.

7. Not being able to fine tune the button colors. While the green you can pick is close to my Saab’s gauge cluster I would still like to adjust it and dim it some to match the SID and ACC green.

Overall I enjoy the unit a lot and it’s OEM looking which is a plus. It’s one of the few Apple CarPlay headunits that has a volume knob. The customization is fun. While the unit is nice it still does have some glaring issues. Only time will tell of its overall reliability.

New April firmware has fixed Bluetooth call quality issues.
[FYT Android Head Units] kuku2004:
Yeah, unfortunately it introduces more bugs than fixes...i wrote to joying support about all the issue hoping they will fix it.
[FYT Android Head Units] tangcla:
They asked me for a video to explain the speech and notification but I don't have my car with me. Can you please take one, I can send it to them on all of our behalf.
[FYT Android Head Units] kuku2004:
I reverted back to the 25.3 firmware so unfortunately i cant do that right now, sorry..anyway i will update when they get back to me with their answer to see if they want a video too.

(one would think they have a unit and they test it prior to releasing it or can test these issues its supposed to be very simple...)
[FYT Android Head Units] 3vilhomer:
How can you flash the firmware? Where you get the file? Do we need to get into recovery mode? I guess the other person hearing echo is because of my firmware issue. Where can I check what firmware version am I on?

I find out the reverse camera guideline for my car is pretty off, how can I calibrate it? I have a 2016 Honda civic

I got this unit "SC9853"

https://www.joyingauto.com/jeep-dod...ay-car-navigation-system-stereo-4gb-32gb.html

got a problem in

Accessibility, installed Services cannot be turned on,

got this message:

"Because an app is obscuring a permission request, Settings can't verify your response"

is it there any way to fix it ?

problem solved.

finally solved an issue with "Accessibility",

you just need uncheck "display over other apps" for every app.

I hate you google for this "Accessibility" nonsense !!
[FYT Android Head Units] kuku2004:
Hi,

firmware flashing page (this page has all the firmware versions) - Joying firmware update page for sc9853i

if you download a firmware file make sure its the right one for your unit model & resolution

the page also shows you where to look for your current version (settings->system->device or something like that)

to flash the firmware just download & extract the files in the zip archive to a FAT32 formatted empty SD or USB & just insert it to the unit while its on, it will then start the update process automaticly (make sure you have the switch on so the car wont cut power to the unit during the upgrade process - should take about 5-8 minutes) & make sure to remove the SD/USB when told so

dont know about the reverse camera as i do not have one but most devices settings are under the FACTORY submenu in the settings (code is 3368) so maybe check there

---------- Post added at 11:20 ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 ----------

sure. will send it to them, i think they are confused and thinking about icons on the notification bar at the top when not expanded (which is right, there are no notification icons). hope they will understand because im having a hard time trying to make them understand (im wrote them about all the problems in the 3.4 firmware update and why i reverted back to the 29.3 one so the told me to update to latest 3.4 firmware LOL :D)

---------- Post added at 11:30 ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 ----------

Great video, thanks for sharing!

You should try AGAMA car launcher it looks great, customizable & has some great features & makes the unit have an unique OEM look & not just another tablet installed on the dash. after testing all car launchers i settled on this one, by far works the best for me & actually if not the "joying" label it would have looked as an original OEM unit with this launcher.
[FYT Android Head Units] nguyentoogood:
thanks kuku for the tip!

i have no idea what version am i on now... haha

the website that have the firmware didnt mention about my model. this the one i bought https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-l...-plug-and-play-for-honda-civic-2016-2017.html
