Hey guys,

Came across this forum by accident, cool to see soemthing like that.

So I'm looking for a new head unit for my car, and I'm really not sure what I should be looking for and would like to get some suggestions.

I can only buy from aliexpress/ebay/amazon.

So my budget is fairly small, and generally I don't really need something that good, I'd like to spare as much as I possibly can, but also get something that will be decent enough so I won't simply throw all my money away.

My max budget is around 160$, but if it will be good enough, I'll prefer spending 80$ instead.

I'll mostly use it for bluetooth(music) + navigation(waze), so I don't really need anything that powerful, on the other hand, my current multimedia system I got really sucks, the touch is barely responsive, and it takes so long to load anything, so that's something I won't compromise on.

One question I have, I currently have a sim card for my multimedia system, now I don't really need internet connection generally, but I do need navigation(with waze), how does that work exactly? Do I need internet connection for that? And if I want to download something from google play, how do I do that?

I've seen a few systems on aliexpress, but I'm not sure which one I should get, the main difference I've seen is mostly between 1GB ram and 2 GB ram. How big is the difference? I believ 2 GB of ram will be more than enough for me, but the prices for 1 GB ram is much lower, and I wonder if that will simply be enough for me.

Thought about something similar to this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2G-...85-4a78-9653-da0c68702c7e&transAbTest=ae803_3

Looks fairly good, I'm just not sure I want something that's not pure android, I don't know what android version it's etc.

Seen this as well: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...74-456c-97da-b4e0fcb83c10&transAbTest=ae803_3

Looks nice, but there is only 1 review, and I can't really know if it's a good product.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-d...40-4e04-bedc-efc0da8d899a&transAbTest=ae803_3

This one seems to have nice reviews, but it's only 1 GB of ram.

Anyway, would like to get some suggestions please, thanks! :)

Anyone? :)

I think you'll find whatever you pick at those price points will have bugs, even the more expensive ones will have them too. For what you want, I would be OK with a quad core 2gb ram unit, with a 16gb rom. Unless you are loading music or will have lots of app data you'll never use 32gb in the car.

The first one I wouldn't pick solely on the processor. I have no idea what a K6 is:) The fact that it doesn't say Pure Android means nothing. It is:)

Of those three I would pick the first one. That said for my low budget units I've had good luck with the Hizpo 4 core units. Waze crashes every now and then but it's no big deal.

Like this one:

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bb1v4tkc

To use waze you need to do one of three things. Connect it to wifi and load offline map before you go anywhere, connect the unit to your phones wifi hotspot, or buy a sim dongle and connect it to the units USB. There are units you can put a sim card in but not at the prices you are looking at.

Hope this helps:)

A unit with 2GB RAM should be running fast enough for most apps. I was lucky to pickup a T8 processor unit from amazon with 8 core/32G storage /2GB ram. It costed me very little but a week later the price increased by $100 more than what I had paid on amazon.

I would suggest to get the newest model PX30 for ~$145, such as

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/AUT...For-Nissan-Toyota-Volkswagen/32870680923.html

You may try this one on amazon with 8 core/2GB RAM/32G storage, <$100

[Android Head-Units] msacco4:
That's really helpful, thanks to both of you! I actually looked at the HIZPO one for really long time, and generally it just seems exactly what I need, fairly cheap, android 8, seems pretty good, have buttons.

Regarding the octa core head unit. It ends up with around the same price of the HIPZO including shipping, but one thing I quite fear of is the android version, which is only 5.1, I don't think there's actually a big difference, but it's a risk waking up one day finding that some of the apps you need are no longer supported, what do you guys think? Is it actually a real concern or not?

Also, the HIPZO looks fairly better to me than the PX30, what do you think? A spinning volume button is a huge plus for me.

Thanks again! :)
[Android Head-Units] yves31:
The processor of HIPZO unit seems to be T3 based on description. If true it wouldn't be as good as T8. PX30 is a newer MTCD/E unit, and is much better than T3/T8 units based on my experience. It comes with Android 9 as well.
[Android Head-Units] msacco4:
I see, how big is the difference? Usability is the most important thing to me, as I really hate the need to mess with stuff too much while driving, and you can't really distinguish the touch buttons in the PX30 without looking(or guessing).

Because of that, volume button, skip songs etc is really important to me, I can buy external wheel controller maybe and then it could be great. (Costs around 20$ though)

What about the octa core head unit? How cruicial is the android 5.1? I probably won't use much, but waze is very critical to me.

BTW, what is MTCD/E?

Thanks :)
[Android Head-Units] velocity4:
I wouldn't buy a 5.1 unit now. Yes a T8 is better, the place you'll notice this the most is if you move the maps around with your fingers a lot, or when using video. The T8 isn't a lot faster than a T3, but it has more cache that will speed up anything that requires intensive video movement. My T3 2gb Hizpo is no iPhone 7 and it never will be, but it doesn't need to be:) I have tried all the latest processors and even 4gb ram units. For sure they are faster but not so much faster that justify the prices I don't think. But I've had the benefit of using and trying many different units. Actually if I could buy a Ownice C500 again with Android 7 I would do it. It's a very fast unit in its current Android 6 rom, but I don't really like the radio. I don't personally like most of the Android 8 look and feel.

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

One thing you can do is get a remote steering wheel control unit and use it to control forward back volume etc. The connect to the key 1 key 2 wires on the head unit for cars that don't already have steering wheel controls.
[Android Head-Units] msacco4:
Really like the way you explain. Yes I have also thought about getting a remote steering wheel control unit for almost every head unit I wanted.

If I'm going to need to get it anyway, it doesn't matter much whether I have controllers on the head unit or not.

Would you still pick the HIPZO over the PX30?

I'm actually still using nougat on my phone and really like it, the issue I might think of is compatability, but with android 7 I doubt it will happen very soon.

As for the radio.. Well I'm not going to use the radio at all probably, that's why I have my phones music for.

Do you have other recommendations maybe?

Thanks a lot for the reply! :)
[Android Head-Units] velocity4:
From what I've read about PX30s, I don't think its any better or worse than a T3 unit. Pick the one you like the most:)

I'm a new user on this forum so don't be hard on me.

I have Att 8525 it has Faria-R32 WM 6.1 rom, HardSPL7, and 1.54 radio. Any time I'm connected to the wifi network and try to access any internet pages I'm getting same error:

"The page cannot be displayed or or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check th connection settings and try again later."

I'm not using gprs data connection since I have a second phone (BlackBerry) and it has unlimited BlackBerry data plan so I only need wifi access from 8525 sometimes. Also is there any way to connect 8525 to the BlackBerry so it can use Blackberry internet connection?

I tried it on different networks tried it with proxy and without.

Any Help would much appreciated. Thanks

not sure 100% what it is that you seek

you cant use a proxy server unless it's your isp's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server

the modem connects to the isp over the network and get access to the internet that way

do you mean that you wish to get internet using wifi or general activesync

or do you really want to somehow get access to a proxy after you get out on the internet

from your isp's gateway`?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romdis:
Hello guys, I tried to install a custom rom "resurrection remix" for my Blackview bv9500,

it worked but after a factory reset from the Android menu (was the thing not to do?), The phone is stuck in a boot loop (restart each time on the "twrp recovery") On another forum, someone is talking about a code that I have to write in the console in the "trwp recovery" but it does not work. For now, custom rom or rom reinstallation does not work either. Can you help me guys ?? Thank you so much.. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gormetax:
bv9500

Same thing of the boot loop happen to me, as I advice I will put the phone in fastboot mode ( press: volume - and porwer button ), connect the phone to your pc, and once you have installed the adb drivers and the sdk plataform, enter in the sdk plataform and press shift and right click, then open the cmd or power shell, whatever, then write: fastboot devices

So now you will need to install the twrp again first with recovery.img file and then with the twrp.zip ( this via sd card and with the twrp ), to do that write in the cmd fastboot flash recovery, once you do that press first power button and then volume +, twrp will appear, install the twrp.zip file and know install again the custom rom or just the stock one that comes with phone that you can find via internet but as you onow it's android 8.1 not 9.0, and you must report this to them as a bug to keep improving the rom ;P.

I was having a tough time typing fast on the phone and made a post about it earlier. Trying to look for the issue, I came across these

https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/9ntl73/is_your_device_affected_by_touch_latency_issues/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/a1m7ao/xiaomi_mi_a2_touch_latency/

Surprisingly, the behaviour is quite similar to these threads here. I request xda users with a redmi note 7/ 7 pro to carry out this small test of trying to type the words 'qu' and 'scope' fast (if possible, try to run this test a few times with space after each qu and scope, say 10 times, so that we can be sure that the results are consistent and do remember to type the same word 10 times consecutively and then move on to the other word and type it ten times consecutively) and report how many times it turns out as uq and scoep on doing so.

Please mention if you tried this test with:

a screen protector installed (also mention the type of screen protector, i.e. tempered glass or plastic) or without one

your device variant (indian or chinese) and

if possible your display manufacturer which should appear after typing *#*#6484#*#* in dialer and going to software information> lcm information

If you have any other devices, try this on them as well and report how it goes, so that we can have some reference points.

For reference my device is redmi note 7 pro indian variant with edge to edge tempered glass protector installed, lcm information: nt36672a shenchao panel.

Thanks for reporting sir/ma'am. Do you have any screen protectors installed? (If yes, tempered glass or plastic)

Your device variant description was indeed important, I'll update the original post requesting to include device variant as well.

Could you also provide the display manufacturer details? It should be appear after typing *#*#6484#*#* in dialer and going to software information> lcm information.

Display: nt26672a video mode dsi shenchao panel.

Screen protector: none.

Device and rom: Chinese

I used Poco F1 which does not have any sort of touch problems. Always wondered that the fuss was about then this N7P.

There is certainly a touch delay which is worse if you use a keyboard with vibration: the mismatch between actual touch and vibration makes it feel like you are using a juice-spilled keyboard. I overcame this issue by greatly reducing strength of vibration and typing a bit slowly.

What still get me is its touch scroll behavior. Short fling, especially bottom to up, does not move screen in a smooth way. Rather, it scrolls a bit then abrupt break. Worse is when you are using Instagram. When you swipe left or right to see the next picture, it will show about 1/4 of it then jump back to previous one. Very annoying. Overall, it feels like I am using a phone with outdated CPU.

With Poco F1, this sort of touch problems were addressed heavily which lead Xiaomi to come up with fixes. I do not expect that will be the case with N7P. I am hoping that changing touch friction and scroll fling values in buildprop would at least make it less annoying. I may try that once I get unlocked.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] PsyCLown89:
I do not have the same issue, I use SwiftKey as my keyboard though if that makes any difference.

Have the RN7 Pro Chinese version with no screen protector.

I can't get the screen info, when I copy / paste the code and dial it does not complete?

That being said I have felt as if SwiftKey is a little laggy on my previous phone and it's better on the RN7 Pro - although not as smooth as on my Mi 5 I use to have.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] kakatorres1999:
I don't use vibrate on keypress but I still face the issue.

For Instagram, I just downloaded it to check that out and I too experience that sometimes it does not move to the next image and even moves backwards/to the previous image instead. One more thing I noticed was, on Instagram, when you go to explore and are checking posts which have 'more' (large amount of text and hence the option to read 'more') in their descriptions, it often jumps to the next post instead of allowing you to read more of what is written in the description, almost feels like the touch accuracy is off or might be just an Instagram thing.

Scrolling is also a bit inconsistent, on short flings, it sometimes moves downwards and then upwards a bit and at times it scrolls in the opposite direction (but that is rare).

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
Yes, it does break the OTA update but only if the Phone Status appears as Unofficial/Custom under Settings > About Device > Status. Rooting sets your Knox counter to 1 and changes the Phone Status to Unofficial/Custom. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you flash the custom firmware of the device using Odin, you can get the Phone Status to Official again but the Knox will not get reset. That way, you can get the OTA update but still not access the secured apps like Samsung Pay or so on.
