Bug feedback

Hello herb77

first I want also say a big thank you for developing this great App. Very good Job.

Exactly what I've searched for (and good, that I`ve searched for such a Radio app this year once more :) )

After reading all 309 posts, here my first feedback after some days in use. But the App works fine in general....

My Radio: Erisin ES4841, PX30, MTCE_LM_V3.30-1, Android 9

Bugs seen with V0.9.8:

* Searching for next station: sometimes the displayed frequency does not change anymore or is updating very slowly and delayed, but the next station is found (often with wrong frequency on screen). Similar same for manual search.

Currently not good reproducible, but I think it has something to do with a search 108,0->87,5MHz or vice versa. See also next Issue

* start Autoscan - first all works fine, both displayed frequencies are in sync.

Stop Autoscan and start again - both frequencies are not longer in sync, up to 250kHz difference. If a station was found, scan stopps not at correct frequency so the stations are not correct tuned. Also manual scan for next station (later...) is not working well. I think its necessary to restart the App to have it again working well.

* If a interference or other disturbances are found during Autoscan, Autoscan will not continue anymore, staying at this frequency.... Dont saw that behaviour with original Radio app, so may be App problem ?? Not good reproduceable of course.

* Select a station on P6 (Preset6, 2nd page) or higher. Switch OFF (Ignition OFF) and ON again (Radio is booting) => last station (like P6) is playing again, but screen shows always 1st page (P1-P5). If you go to 2nd page, you see P6 is selected => screen should show correct Logo / Preset of running station.

Also seen: if now pressing P+ on steering wheel control jumps sometimes to P1 instead next preset (P7), but also not always reproduceable.

* Autoscan progress bar starts with 100% (I know you know that)

* At easiest do following: store different RDS-stations on same preset (restore) => after double click to see the frequency list, all AF frequencies from all previous stored stations on this preset, are shown. As the result, a station can change to other station by AF, include automatic change of name and logo !! Total confusing !

Also default frequency 87,5 is in the list !!

=> I prefer to delete always all stored AF when storing a station, similar to "Remove all" (which works fine).

* "Remove all" is shown, but language is german.

* Sometimes seen: all Names and logos from actual Bouquet are correct, but in the Bouquet sort mode some Logos and/or Names can be wrong. If happens, I saw only from P6 onwards. P1-5 were always correct. Not reproduceable. May be a follow up bug from the Issue above (restore more RDS stations on same preset?)

* AF is working in general, but not always I guess. Sometimes a better frequency is available (and listed in the AF list), but Radio does not change to this frequency over many minutes. May be reason is the radio chip only?

* I have here a RDS station broadcasting on 2 Frequencies. All is fine, both frequencies are in the list, the better frequency is selected automatically by AF. After double click to show the AF list, Radio jumps always to the other weak frequency (hearable, because bad reception, Stereo not always possible).

- After exit from the list, let say within 5-10sec, Radio jumps back to better frequency after few sec

- Or stay in the AF list. After around 10sec Radio jumps automatically back to best frequency in the background. When exit from AF list, all is fine, frequency is not changing again, but Stereo and Car Icon are not updated (stays disabled) until next retune (change the station).

=> Radio should stay on selected frequency when enter AF list. Currently always reproduceable at this station, similar effect not seen at other station yet (but not easy to check that). No idea what is the reason. Maybe jump to first stored frequency of on that preset or .... ????

=> the Stereo and Car Icon should be always refreshed when exit the list.

* After change to AM mode, screen still in FM mode (Logos, etc)

* Autoscan does not work in AM mode, starts always with FM band. (I know you know that)

* How can I store AM stations?

...to be continued....

question to all:

Have anyone an idea, how I can replace the original Radio by this App?

I mean, with the steering wheel control I can zap between Radio-Media Player-AVIN-......, but no idea how I can replace "Radio" or add this App in the loop.
