It's an issues that many MTCD radio have, because the RDS AF it's not correctly implemented.

Inviato dal mio Mi A2 utilizzando Tapatalk
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
AF is controlled by radio chip and mcu.

We can adjust just the sensibility of the frequency search in factory settings.

In my experience AF depend mostly on the territory.

if I drive on the highway in very flat territory AF never switched automatically to another freq.

If I drive over hills/mountains AF switches continuously to other frequencies.

It looks like that the minimum signal to start the search for a new freq and the minimum acceptable signal to assign the new frequency don't get matched in a flat territory, while they do in a mixed road.

Anyway I can't do nothing to fix this behaviour, you can only slide up/down in the middle of the screen to switch to the alternative freq if it's already memorized.

[MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] In my px3 unit, in the horizontal view of the stations, the main image is cut by the right margin, I am attaching an image, I don't know if it will be a general problem or only in my unit. regards
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ol I will check.

If you are using your own logos, be sure to use as maximum dimension 255*255 pixels
[MTCD Software Development] Silver_:
hehe XD Bingo my friend I live in a flat territory. Thanks for you answer, I try other sensibility values in factory settings. :good::good::good:
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I found the problem... It wasn't the code but the logo image itself was cutted on the right.

I fixed all the cadena-dial logos.

Please download again the zip package, extract it and you'll be allset.

;)
[MTCD Software Development] MarcinHer:
In factory settings can be set between 20 and 40 for searching AF. What is the jest value? It depends on territory? Currently I have set to 30 but sometimes when drive from City to City then AF switch very often. Its annoying because each time when is switch then is silent about 1 second...
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I guess that each unit can be slightly different but if you need less switching you need a higher value.

Anyway my unit is not silent when switching frequency, I can only hear a difference in reception quality.

My unit is silent for when ST signal goes off but this is an MCU issue. I noticed that older MCUs don't have this problem.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Version 1.81 is available for testers with new settings layout:

I started making a new layout for settings so to have more room for other settings (like fonts type and dimensions) that will come in the next days.

I also upgraded the code from appcompat to androidX and i need all testers to report any issue because the changes are many.

Changelog:

Code upgrade to androidX

New pagination of app settings with TABS

Some corrections and fixes in layouts and code
[MTCD Software Development] bluemask69:
i.m.h.o. the best upgrade would be 3 little buttons with 3 favorites station in the left size of the app navradio+ home page .
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Can you make a sketch or a mock-up of what you mean?

I really have difficulty figuring out what you'd like to have.
[MTCD Software Development] zeyret:
1.81 also have google play?

thanks, problem solved
[MTCD Software Development] AdekP:
As for me, the font is too large in these settings, but I understand that it will be possible to reduce it in the final version;)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Uhm... Ok I'll try to reduce it a bit for next release.

Anyway the font size and type adjustment will be for the elements of the main views like buttons, station name, rds texts etc..
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
NEW version 1.82 is coming out with a couple of new features:

FONT size and type customizations:

Not all the elements in the interface can be customized but for the main frequencies, rds texts, station names and buttons can be assigned different typefaces and different sizes to better match your own taste.

Customizable button in bottom bar (Look at TotalCommander button for example)

The button can be assigned to any app installed by user, to any microntek app or some of the google apps like maps, youtube etc..

The setup is located in the General settings TAB.

The Changelog for v1.82:

Added section Font setting with various fonts available

Added option for Customizable button in the bottom bar

Improved data sending to HCT widgets

Fixed crash in the FAV list reordering (not possible)

v1.81:

Code upgrade to androidX

New pagination of app settings with TABS

Some corrections and fixes in layouts and code
[MTCD Software Development] MarcinHer:
I didn't see in Google Store version 1.81, where it was possible to download?

And about above 1.82, the same question, will it be avaiable today in Store to download?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
V1.81 was available only for testers.

V1.82 right now it's available for testers and if nothing wrong is reported me by them I'll release it to public tonight or tomorrow.

Normally i wait one day before releasing a new version to the public. So my testers can try the new release and report me any issue if exist.
[MTCD Software Development] Junde:
Is there some know bug in audio focus? Updated today to newest versio and it still exist. Its been like that for while now, but its was working earlier.

Problem:

When listening spotify and navradio is closed (not open in backround) i switch to navradio and use steeringwheel or unit buttons to change channel it changes channel but also in 1-2 second switch back to spotify and starts playing. After that if switch back to navradio its working like it should (its already open in backround?). Problem is always when navradio opened first time after i close it using backbutton two times or after unit reboot..
[MTCD Software Development] Junde:
Here is a video for above problem: https://filebin.net/l92dudc308cs4o1b/20201005_071534.mp4?t=rrv5ku2a
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Tnx for reporting this issue. I can confirm that is happening on my units too and there will be an update to fix it very soon, probably a couple of days.

I'm adding also the possibility to save all settings in a file and restore it anytime even after a fresh install. ;)
[MTCD Software Development] MarcinHer:
I like using NavRadio in full screen mode (I mean without system toolbar). But in that case clock is very small at the top right corner. When driving sometimes is not easy to do quick look at screen and see what time is currently. I starter thinking is it possible to do some customization for example to replace radio station name by clock? When I have logo visible then radio name is quite the same type of information and takes a lot of space on screen. It would be ideally to have possibility to custom that part. In such case radio station name can be near current clock place and it will be consistent with frequency localization (on on top left and one on top right). What do you think? Is is posibble somehow?
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
Running NavRadio+ on a low resolution 1280 x 480 HU the frequency or name of the radio station is not displayed in the centre but off to the left by a 1/4 of a word width. Also noted now I have no hard buttons is that when in the menus there is no apparent way to return to the main radio screen without going Home then back in. Pressing back either shuts the app down, asks you to press twice etc. On my old 7939 HU there was of course a physical back button. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Hi, I haven't tested your resolution yet (I admit I didn't even know it exist) so of course it will need some adjustment. I'll see what I can do in next releases about it but for sure I will need at least some pictures or a video of what you see now on your unit, to better understand how it looks now.

In general settings of NavRadio you can set 3 different functions to the statusbar back button. One of these 3 selections should suit your needs.

Again here a sample video should help me a lot, please...
[MTCD Software Development] AdekP:
Everything looks great, the smaller font in the settings now looks much better;)

It's great that you can change the size / typeface.

PS

There is still problem with Navradio and Agama launcher in hal9 ROM. Sometimes it displays data and sometimes not. Generally, right after starting NavRadio, it briefly displays the logo and RDS in Agama so that it disappears after a while.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Uhm... Could it be something caused by liveRDS?

Could you try disable that option and check if the logo and info still disappear?
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
Turns out that if no radio stations are tuned, i.e. its on my bench with no aerial, the back button only takes me to the Home Screen of FCC. Now the HU is back in the car and tuned, the back button works as it should. Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] pakoner:
[MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] can you add scrorrable rds text?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok , I'll see what I can do about it.
[MTCD Software Development] Al Ferro:
KoTiX2 I made that same suggestion sometime ago to have scrollable rds text, so if you can add that option it would be nice.:good:
[MTCD Software Development] Silver_:
Hi [MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] i continue with the same problem in this new version.

[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok I'll try a fix in the next version.

[MENTION=7757496]Al Ferro[/MENTION] I'm on it. It will be done in next release for sure. ;)

I uploaded already for testers a v1.84 that have this changelog:

Fixed Spotify switching bug caused by wrong update of mediasession

Fixed visualization of FrequencyBar with FAV list active

Fixed start/stop service in background (This is what all FCC users is waiting for but it will need a new version of FCC too)

[MTCD Software Development] Al Ferro:
[MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] Thank you for the update, I was hoping that the scrolling text would work like in this video, thank you again for your hard work:good: https://imgur.com/HR7r8au

By the way, how do I download logos? there is no option for the US, and it doesn't download or assign logos automatically to the radio stations. ( I'm in California US).

I just noticed that having the app open in full screen mode , the bottom text stays static ,it doesn't scroll, but if I put the screen in split mode, the bottom text starts to scroll.

EDIT: I changed the rds text font size and now the text is scrolling.:good:
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
The usa logos show up only if you set the correct radio region in factory settings (america 1)

Then you have logos for all the states including California.

The automatic assignment for USA work by sid when the sid of the station is received , or by frequency or if enabled by pty.

It cannot be assigned by name because many stations transmit too many informations in the name field.

The scrolling of text depend on it's length, if it's shorter than the available space it will not scroll.

BTW change region and you'll discover the best feature of NavRadio .

Even the layout of buttons and names change because of USA region !)

My next step will be to create the correct layouts for the split screen mode ;)
[MTCD Software Development] Silver_:
My friend the problem persists in this new version, sometimes it is corrected and other times not when changing from logo screen to standart screen.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
If you can send me a video i could identify it better
[MTCD Software Development] diefem:
I miss the support of the frequency display in the dashboard area (in the middle of the speedometer, also called FIS) as the original Radio app or the App Alternative GMRADIO supports it. Is there something in preparation?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Actually I had no idea if it was working or not because my car don't have the canbus.

I'll check out what it's missing. Tnx for reporting.

(Be sure you are running latest version)
[MTCD Software Development] Al Ferro:

[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Oh, don't worry i found the problem in the code.

The fix will be in the next update of the full version.

The free version need a general rework but right now I have no time to take care of it.
[MTCD Software Development] comptechltd:
I guess I posted this same comment under the wrong topic as I actually have an MTCE unit in but anyway...What a FANTASTIC app. This is what all android head units should come with!!!! Great job!!!!

One question though, I am in the US and I notice that the RDS info displays differently with different radio stations. On one station the RDS displays as one line in a smaller font while on another station the RDS is on a different line on the display with larger font and broken up. Is the RDS display something that is radio station dependent and why would it display on different lines?
[MTCD Software Development] comptechltd:
Ok, as a bit of insight after further investigation.....I have found that the radio station that isn't showing properly uses the 'older style' RDS. If I turn that setting off then I get no RDS for it.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
RDS in the USA is handled a little bit differently from Europe but that it's not the problem.

The problem is that many stations don't follow the standards rules and send message texts in the name field. This is the "old style rds".

Right now I don't remember well what exactly does the "Live RDS" option for you americans, i probably have to check it back but as far as I know you shouldn't need it active.

The very first thing that you must be sure is that your unit have radio region set to america1 so you have all american radio logos and the layouts with callsigns support.

The RDS name change in size automatically depending on the lenght of the station name.

The name can be assigned automatically, manually or copied from the logo name.

I suggest you to fill up your stations list with logos and names with callsigns so you won't have big changes in sizes.

I'll be very glad if you could post a video showing the automatic assignment of the Logos and switching between stations so I know that everything work as I supposed to do.

;)
[MTCD Software Development] comptechltd:
I didn't have much luck with the auto assigning in my case. I only have 2 stations that I really listen to. Beyond that there were several stations in the same state that have the same frequencies as my local stations and these got assigned to the wrong ones with the auto assigning. In my case it is no biggie as your app is fantastic. Oh....and one of the stations I did have to tick the 'older live RDS' in order to make it work.

Great job.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Version 1.89 is coming on playstore

This time i'd like to say "thank you" to [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] for his help making my app working with his FCC Launcher: All the previous issues with FCC likeswitching between other players and NavRadio+, the start of NR+ in background, the audiofocus etc.. are all sorted out

In combination with NavRadio+ you need a new version of FCC that can be downloaded from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kebVx2gEj_9AZKEZd0cwY6r4GHZn_CBo/view?usp=sharing

Older versions of NavRadio+ or of FCC will not work!

I've been also in contact with Malaysk (that i thank too) and I've been able to test NavRadio+ with his new Android 10 custom rom and i can confirm that it's working fine.

This is the changelog for this release:

Added startService hidden icon (just for my dev purpose)
Initial changes for splitscreen (still need to work it out)
Changed some widgets behaviours
Fixed FCC switching and audiofocus problems
Fixed Malaysk10 audio focus

I have an eonon headunit with an HT MCU at 3.53. I am running on Android 10 and I noticed that sometimes when changing stations with my steering wheel keys the app will crash. Anything I can do to prevent this?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please send me a logcat so I can understand what is going on..
[MTCD Software Development] meber:
Is there a way to do that without ADB? There is no PX30 wireless adb option and I don't want to take my headunit out to connect to via usb. I understand if not - I've clicked the option when it crashes to send information.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
If your unit is rooted you simply can install Logcat extreme from playstore.

When the crash occurs, start the logcat app and save the log to a file.
[MTCD Software Development] meber:
As far as I know there is no root option on Android 10 PX30. Thanks though.

[MTCD Software Development] meber:
I just wanted to give you another data point. I know it isn't much without a logcat but I cleared the data and started over and I can only repeat the crashing if I configure channels as favorites and switch to only show favorite channels. Then when I change channels occasionally it will crash.
[MTCD Software Development] Closerm6b:
I bought the app but not working

Hi

Thanks for your effort to improve the radio. I try the free app working for malaysk rom 1.3. 7

But when i instal paid app not working

Mtce klyd px5
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
To be sure that AF is working you need to do a simple test: use the original radio and find a path of a road that you travel often where you are sure that AF switch to another frequency.

Once you are sure that everyday it switch frequency with original app, do the same with navradio and you'll see that they work exactly the same.

If NavRadio don't switch frequency for you than i can start looking at it but i'm pretty sure that it works ok because i have a frequency change everyday on my way to work and back.

A new version is on the way v1.91:

Fixed other issues with FCC launcher (now need FCC 3.440_test8)

Fixed sending broadcasting to Canbus

Fixed HCT widget display

Still improved split screen

Fixed RDS flags reset after reboot
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok so the problem is only with favorites list.

This is a good info to reproduce the issue.

Tnx ;)
[MTCD Software Development] yaris1:
I drive 30 kilometers every day and always 10 kilometers from home changes my stations from 96.6 to 96.8 on the original radio. But I have to add that Pi sid is the same, just a different name kcrl kk and kcrl cw maybe there is a problem on your radio
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok let's try this new version 1.91.

I changed something that handle the AF toggle switch that maybe help fixing it.
[MTCD Software Development] comptechltd:
Have a small request concerning RDS. I have one station that apparently uses the old style RDS (not sure) but the RDS info displays differently and shows up in blocks which I guess is normal and appears something like listed below

The Nam

e of the s

ong

The Arti

st

What I am wondering is if there is a way to buffer that and place it on one line. I only ask this because I have another vehicle that that a factory radio that displays the information from the same station like listed below

The name of the song

The artist

This is not a do or die thing for me. I love your software and I don't think it is a problem with your software, just wandering if it can be formatted differently.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I cannot identify the name and artist if they come in a single field.

In a normal RDS the station name is sent in the field "psname" and song info (rds message) on another field.

In your case it looks like it indeed use the liveRDS where everything is sent in the psname field.

A solution could be to enable the scrolling text for live rds. Otherwise set a single line option and truncate the strings like" Name of the son..."

I guess I'll go for the scrolling text, what do you think?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Not working what exactly??
[MTCD Software Development] Closerm6b:
Hello

No sounds
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok i'll try to reproduce the problem.

Good to know that v 1.27 have sound...
[MTCD Software Development] comptechltd:
Maybe make it an option to scroll. Seriously on you list of todo's this is not a functional thing more of a personal annoyance for me. Your software is great so make it a low priority.
[MTCD Software Development] comptechltd:
One other small suggestion and possible bug. How about an option to put the clock on the right side of the screen opposite the gps speed. Just mirror the gps circle and put the clock in it ( I like keeping the status bar showing at the top so the current clock doesn't show). Another thing I have noticed on the GPS speed is sometimes it says Km/h sometimes mph but always displays the speed in mph (which is what I want). Maybe just a switch to change it from km/h.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Where do you live? In USA? If so it should always display MPH.

If it show km/h then I need to know when exactly it show km/h (probably before getting a signal?)

About the clock... I tried what you suggested but i didn't like it ;)
[MTCD Software Development] comptechltd:
Yes, USA. I believe it mainly shows that after it has turned back on from sleep mode if I have left the radio on when it went to sleep.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please disable the original radio app from factory settings and you'll have sound back.

Be sure you are running NavRadio 1.91.

;)
[MTCD Software Development] Closerm6b:
Now all right

After disability of radio. Your app work greatly.

could i send you logo of radio of my country to add it?
