Hi, how did you check the drain?

Be sure to make a real miasure, uisng a Multimeter if you can, after some minutes your car is off; normally other electric istuments of your car continue to drain, explecially in the first minutes after shut down.

In my experience the best way to avoid draining and other possible interference with shot down power management of your car is to set time off 30sec. Avoid "auto sleep".

Tried to get to recovery mode with various button combinations with reset button... No success.

Some questions:

Will recovery mode only start if there's a valid volume connected which contains the Rom files or will it open without this if you did the right button combination?

Rom must be on SD card or is it possible to use a USB Stick?

Do I have to extract the Rom files in root directory or must I copy the update.zip to root?

BTW: It's a MTCE-HT PX6 Unit 9" with touch buttons.

Thank you so much
[MTCD Software Development] y2imm:
It worked!

All I did was what the instructions said to do and it worked! One of the easiest updates I've ever seen, thanks to whoever for this!!!

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

I don;t know your unit or anything, but I just downloaded the update file, it's a RAR, extracted it to my laptop, copied the update.zip file onto a freshly FAT32 formatted USB stick, and inserted it into the USB port for my unit. It automatically found it and asked me if I wanted to update. Clicked yes and it was done in a couple of minutes.
[MTCD Software Development] Ammby:
Thanks but need to get to recovery mode because HU is not booting anymore after uninstalling media player accidentally.
[MTCD Software Development] ric69:
Witch unit do you have? Only way is to find combination buttons to boot in recovery (long press power button until something happens? Sometimes buttons light up very quickly. Or power and vol+ or vol-) .

Rom (any_name.zip you can remember) must be at root of sdcard (1st slot) don't unzip rom. But you need to be on working recovery to update.

If you can't find recovery, you will have to find a way to flash with your laptop via adb / USB (I never did it like this) :fingers-crossed:
[MTCD Software Development] Ammby:
Thanks mate. It's a MTCE-HT PX6 with touch buttons. I tried power & rst. HU starts with HAL Logo. Then I press Power & Reset. Screen gets dark. After release reset button the lights will flash one time and HU starts again with HAL Logo... Nothing then.

But I've tried only with USB Stick with update.zip in root. Will try it again with SD card.
[MTCD Software Development] Ammby:
So. Inserted SD card with update.zip in Root. After pressing reset with all combinations of buttons holding the HU buttons flash one rime and it tries to boot after about 20 seconds it will turn off. No recovery mode ?
[MTCD Software Development] ric69:
This way ? [youtube]lPQgV_55Rkk[/youtube]

Ok it's px5 but you absolutely need to enter recovery before flashing rom again.

Only MCU.img is recognized by unit automatically (with android working)
[MTCD Software Development] Ammby:
Hmmm.... Not sure if I pressed it for about 20 seconds like he did.... Will try it tomorrow. Thanks again mate for your time... ✌??

Backup - Google version to avoid Maps issue

Hi [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] , you have kindly provided a way to back-up from Android 8 and restore to Android 9.

What about a full config back-up of Mod. 4.0.2? Could that backup / restore system work?

Thanks

Moreover, I have seen the issue due to Maps not muting the audio of other apps, when a mic input is required, can be overcome preventing the update of "Google" apk: that is, with the version found in Mod. 4.0.2 not updated and all others Google apks updated, it's ok. The issue comes again as soon as Google.apk is updated too. Please can you tell me the Google version incorporated in your mod?

Thanks

[MTCD Software Development] ric69:
Honestly I don't know. I have this feature since I bought my unit (stock rom/ Malaysk/ Hal9k) so probably it's related to canbus, I'm not sure

Same on my side - Dasaita MAX6, and I can reach OBD dongle only after running Torque. Other app throws java exception something about "not initialized" (didn't catch - socket, or device...) On two phones with Android 9 and Android 10 - everything works flawlessly, but not on HU.

[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]

I have exactly same problem with GPS. In Android 8, GPS was smooth when riding. In Android 9, GPS is very laggy and if you drive, your car icon lags behind. Annoys when you turn to side street. You can see your car moving in main street then it jumps into side street... Tested in Sygic, Here Maps and Mapy.cz

However GPS fix is as fast as it was in Android 9. My GPS antenna is integrated in front window so there is no problem with it and I just updated from Android 8 to 9 without any hardware or wire changes.

Does anyone know why GPS navigation app is started everytime I start the car (radio goes from sleep)? In Mod Settings I have only AmplifierMOD and PowerAmp set after startup.
[MTCD Software Development] jukk:
Thanks for a great ROM (already paid and updated to latest version).

There are some small issues, like this one:

And does anyone know if it is possible to start latest app instead of radio upon restart or after sleep? The stock ROM also did this. Radio always starts. Instead I would like it to get to the home screen (if it was on home screen when shut down/closed).

A third issue is that USB ports disappeared after sleep. I had to reboot the unit to get them back. I don't know if this is an issue specific to this ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Check Car/Navigation Settings. There is an option about starting GPS at boot, or something similar. I though it was about GPS, but instead it caused the Navigation app to start (very bad wording sometimes in menus).

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

Check your GPS antenna cable connector at the back of the head unit, to exclude that possibility. Mine had loosened and when I tightened it again everything is fine again.
[MTCD Software Development] djdavid:
There is an option to set it don't start every time.

Same for this, there is another option to set what you want to start.

Since I'm not in car, I can't remember where these options are located.

Just a question, why you don't navigate between ROM setting???

If you installed it, means you aren't so noob, so why don't spend time to discover, try and check all available settings?!?!
[MTCD Software Development] jukk:
Thanks for the non-noob award, I did check those settings. The radio seems to be something that is built into these units MCU and starts always before anything else, I don't know. Seems to be hard to control.
[MTCD Software Development] djdavid:
I have the same ROM, radio starts when I press it.

You have a section where you can control which app must starts on startup, which app must not run simultaneously, which app goes in immersive mode, etc.

There you can fix your issue.
[MTCD Software Development] jukk:
I know that. The radio just doesn't seem to care about it, it starts after sleep anyway. But not always! And there doesn't seem to be any regularity to it. That is what nags me. Anyway, will still try to play with those settings more, if some combination helps.
[MTCD Software Development] Nhokas:
Can you point me where are those settings located?

Settings/Car/Mod Settings

(if I remember correctly)

Mod Settings is also a menu item (app).

As shown on first page in this thread:

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

Yes, but do you have the same hardware? In these head units, the radio is a separate hardware module, controlled by the MCU. It actually starts before the Android system and works independently. So Android and the app don't do much. There could be hardware differences in the way how the radio works.
[MTCD Software Development] Silver_:
I have tried everything and I remember that in version 8 he never did it to me. I think that maybe it could be due to the charge of the battery that was previously new and now not so much and this puts the radio in a deeper suspension that causes the radio not to start in addition to the wifi as I have observed.

[MTCD Software Development] vadmajom:
Try to change this setting, it may help: factory settings/other/default power status/change it from "ON" to "remember last state"
[MTCD Software Development] jukk:
That sounds like the state you want the head unit in after turning on ignition. I.e. if the unit should be forced to turn ON, or left in the state that the user set it in (powered off/sleep/ON).

I didn't talk about the head unit itself, but the radio app that almost always starts (sorry for not being specific enough; "radio" for me means the "AM/FM radio receiver", not the whole head unit).
[MTCD Software Development] vadmajom:
I know it sounds strange, but I have seen this tip on the internet, and it helped me when my radio app did not started automatically after sleep (it was the last used app). My power state setting was "remember last state" and i switched to "on". Later I switched back to "remember last state" and the radio worked as I wanted. I think something stucked in mcu settings after updating it. So if you think give it a try, it will not hurt (unless to set it to "off" be careful with that option).

Hello, I come from Hal9k 3.1 Android 8 without any problem, now with v4 the HU sleep mode does not last long and when I start the car after only maybe 10 minutes of using it, the HU starts from 0.

Another problem I have is that every time I turn on or wake up the HU, the Waze opens, which was the Nav that I set as default, how do I get it out?

And lastly, how can I make an application open whenever I start the car and "minimize" and stays on background? ... maybe I will go back to Home or continue with the music application that was last used.
[MTCD Software Development] jukk:
I've seen this occasionally, too.

See Settings/Car/Navigation Settings. There is an option about starting GPS at boot, or something similar. This is what actually starts the Navigation app.
[MTCD Software Development] MediaTerraneo:
Hi [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] and dear all, this is to report two issues:

With the default launcher, I changed the order of icon screens (I mean long press on empty space and then change of screens position), but after HU restart they go back to the previous position.

I activated TV from the Factory menu (not installed on my HU) and in the Mod. menu set MTCdiler as app that runs instead of the System TV app. When tapping TV I'm expecting it calls MTCdiler, but it still shows the yellow triangle (missing video, as waiting for TV input).

Am i wrong?

Thanks

In realtà non dovrebbe aver bisogno di un app terze perchè nella precedente versione della rom c'era l'impostazione!!

You are right it's non included in the Rom, in the fist post you can find the suggestion of some additional apks, like that one. :)
[MTCD Software Development] Silver_:
This is my problem too and the HU starts without the radio and with WIFI disabled, not how it originally stayed. In my case it happens when I leave the car stationary for several days, I don't know if this has to do but with the previous Hal9k´s ROM (Android 8) it didn't happen to me.

Something GPS related...

I always thought it must be OS related, but ive been wrong!

Should be interesting for those who have GPS lags, or signal loss during navigation.

I found out that the temperature from the main Chip unit is way to high!!

There is no cooling inside, nothing!!

It goes over 80°C and in that case, the GPS module doesnt work correctly anymore.

I deattached the DVD off the headunit (its a 1din), which i didnt really need and left the top opened.

And from that point i got more than 12 satellites fixed!! No more lags!

In near future i'll attach a silent 12v cooler, so the surounding parts wouldnt be cooked anymore..?

And the DVD i dont reinstall, never use that part, the sd cards have enough space for videos/music.

Maybe that helps in some cases..

Yesterday i desided to do a factory reset through thr settings menu ( not recovery)

Unit rebooted.. the cicle was displaying errasing and stayed there forever. Displayed error 5 times and couldnt get to recovery either. Had to do sd boot.

After i noticed the strange things..

First rom before entering the codes to do the ota.. was super fast! Snappy and i was so happy setting it up and that i didnt spend so many hours for nothing... It was worth it.. after it did the ota 4.01.. rebooted.. 4.02 and google play update and it was slower and laggy again!!
[MTCD Software Development] iMattmax:
Where is your gps antenna?

I have a 2DIN HU and have no gps lags, normaly there are more than 20 satellites in view and about 20 satellites in use. Normaly there are 2 - 5 less in use then in view.

3. a function to adjust the color of the taskbar icons. For me it is often difficult to see grey on a black background or vice versa because the display of my Dasaita is not bright enough when the sun shines outside.

Hi,

I found an issue with Maps Speed Limits since updating from Android 8 to 9. For some reason the system settings are not permanently saved for this app. It asks frequently for permission to show an overlay above other apps. I grant permission but a few days later the switch is set back to "no". On HAL version 3 it did work though. So no I am struggling to figure out if it is Android 9 or Hal9k mod that is responsible for that. Any ideas?

gps and speed problem

hello,I have a weird problem,

I have px30,kgl,mcu 3.10,ota 4.0.2,

until yesterday everything was fine,after that I tried to update mcu(kgl 3.10bd) from wadzio mod,everything ok but not for GPS,and speed at screensaver,

the software shows 0 sattelites and 0 kmh speed,but to achieve the sattelites I have to remove and re-attach the GPS antenna,otherwise 0 sattelites, I tried to install the stock 3.10 mcu but the same thing happens,also I tried to reboot after the procedure of replug the antenna and again from 12 sattelites it drops to 0 so it's not the plug,please if you can help me,thank you

Hello, is there any chance Android 10 will work (and come) to PX5 devices?
[MTCD Software Development] MediaTerraneo:
I think it might be useful to try to upload the original mcu again together with the configuration file; that is, put "dmcu.img" and "dmcu.cfg" on the same sd card. I hope you have a back-up of the dmcu.cfg, otherwise you can try asking someone with that MUC to export it from his HU.

Also try to check the GPS config with the menu in MOD. 4.0.2; consider PX30 has some differences with PX5 about GPS, so some settings may be different. According to the first post, it could not be able to get BeiDou.
