Bro which firmware should I flash
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Brianrh:
I'm using the V11.0.5.0.QFJMIXM (global) but i the european version is evidently okay too.

This is without a doubt the best ROM I've ever used on any phone, I especially love the extended swipe actions, thank you again for a perfect ROM

A feature I would love to see(if possible) is a visible battery bar on top of the screen while the status bar is hidden(immersive mode), I use my phone in immersive mode and if I turn on the battery bar I can only see it when i swipe down my notification shade.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jamesyk34:
I have the Redmi Note 8t and having issues with the FM radio reception. The sound goes silent for 2-4 seconds and happens several times every minute. Makes it unusable. Is this a known issue and if so are there any workarounds ? Thanks
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Joca14:
I have noticed some pauses on my phone too. I would not say that it is as bad as that, but certainly annoying..
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jamesyk34:
I also posted on the official Xiaomi forum but haven't received any responses. I'm guessing that if no one is raising the issue then either Xiaomi are not aware or not considering it an issue affecting all phones.

The radio is a feature I used extensively on my last Xiaomi phone and is the one downside to an otherwise excellent phone
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Joca14:
Just done a quick test on mine again, some stations seem worse than others. Also a lot more background noise /interference.

Nowhere near as good as my older phone was.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jamesyk34:
Mine is particularly bad on BBC Radio 2 which happens to be my usual ratio station. I have tried enabling and disabling WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile data whilst listening but makes no difference. Also just noticed that it starts out "only" a few pauses per minute and gets gradually worse the more I listen. Had forgotten about this as I haven't used this feature in a while. Going to submit another fault request through the service and feedback gesture in the phone.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Joca14:
That's my usual station too. It wasn't too bad but only a 15 minutes test. It was worse on Smooth FM. I usually use FM when out cycling but due to the current situation I've not been out so not used it

To be honest I'm a bit disappointed with the phone... Isn't much better than my previous Moto G6

Please do post if you get any reply from Xiaomi.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jamesyk34:
Found a workaround on the Xiaomi forums. Can't remember the name of the original user though at the minute but must remember to search and post to give them credit for this fix.

The steps to follow are:

1. Install an app from playstore called Activity Launcher.

2. Modify the app permissions so that it can create a shortcut on the home screen

3. Start the app and search for "FM". You should get result like the output shown in the attachment.

4. Long press on the FM RADIO (com.caf.fmradio.FMRADIO) line and choose create shortcut. This adds a shortcut to the home screen for what appears to be a different FM radio app from the default.

5. Go into the settings and change the regional band setting to "user defined band". Set the channel spacing to 100khz, set Lower freq limit to 76khz and leave the rest of the settings as default.

6. Shutdown the app and restart and hopefully should work. I used it all day today and worked perfectly for me so fingers crossed.

Hello everybody :)

Hope somebody can help me shortly, as I have to go this evening on a business trip... :S. I have been using the ROM: NoThrills WM6.1, V3... absolutely great! Now in combination with the NEON Radio (1.58.25.17) it is fast, great reception, amazing battery life, fast GPS... :)

But: What I noticed yesterday: I wanted to take pictures. This seems to work, as the "live image" and after taking a picture, the "preview" look great. However, when I want to see the photo once more again, I cannot load it in file explorer. It says: Cannot load file. Saving on phone or on memory card does not make a difference... Also when I copy the file to my computer, I can see a small preview (in windows down left in the explorer), but if I open the file: cannot open the file. It seems that it does not save the file correctly and it is corrupt!! The strange thing is: it only happens with high resolution (>1mpx) pictures! Snapshots with low resolution are fine, and also video captures can be read without problems.... :(

Who can help me?! Is this a radio problem?! I guess not because the low resolution and video shots are perfect.... Thnx! :)

ps. I have searched for 2 hours on the forum, can't find anything related to this issue... sorry!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Troxelke:
UPDATE :)

Upgraded to the new NEON radio 1.65.24.36 and it seems fine now! So it WAS radio related...

Now hope that the new 1.65.24.36 does work at least as nice as the old 1.58.25.17... but according to this threat: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398177&page=1 that shouldn't be an issue!

Well, time to go for business ;)!

Do you have the GPS stamp enabled for HTCcamera?

That's the only way I can imagine a radio would influence the camera.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Fahadhabib:
Hi

I am using Sony XZ3 for around 15 months on O2 UK.

For last 4-5 months I am struggling to get good network reception. Changed sim card as well but no luck. I put my sim in my old HTC phone and not had any issues for 2 weeks. What is possibly wrong with the phone or network?

Screen shots attached via Net Monitor Lite app. Why it shows WCDMA connection on LTE or GSM sim?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] justoar:
Same issue. Reception is really bad against other phones.

We need to update the baseband.
[MTCD Hardware Development] Ati_gangster:
Hello Android Radio friends,

I have thought a lot about how to solve the problem of overheating Android devices with PX5 and PX6 processors. Next summer will come for sure.

My specially designed passive heat sinks are probably known by some people.

This time, I'm going to focus on active cooling + heatsink.

It was important that as many people as possible can use this method. It should be as easy as possible to install, even by people who have no manual skills.

Therefore I created 3D models of different top covers which you can easily print out if you have a 3D printer.

In this lid there are already the drillings for mounting a fan. I make the whole project available for the community on Thingiverse. I also add number 1 - 22 to each 3D model. If someone doesn't find the 3D model for his own top cover. Tell me the dimensions. I will create the 3d model. Let's make a collection of compatible devices.

Because high temperatures can occur in a car in summer, I used ABS as material. This can withstand temperatures up to 100°C.

Of course you could also drill a big hole in the top cover. But it does not look so nice. ?

If someone doesn't have a 3D printer. There are many different websites that offer 3D printing at low prices.

In the video I also show some used fans and some methods of power supply.

[MTCD Hardware Development] Dac0908:
Nice ideas.

Had some thoughts about that first minute I unpacked radio upgrade for my car, PX6 unit. It has some perforations on the back but it is all closed underneath with plastic so I think almost no air circulation happens there. Yeah it is 2DIN with aluminium heatsink on the back, and yes in my car ventilation is right above it but - I don't like it. Maybe some holes could help.

I'm writing this because of an experience with completely different thing, had annoying fan noise on an instrument amplifier, which was at 100% all the time. No matter how it was used or maybe unused at the time, noise was unbearable. Manual control is too dangerous because I know sooner or later I would forget to turn it up when needed, but it can be automatic so quick and nice fix was temperature control board: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32886053224.html . I think it could work nice for projects like yours :good:
[MTCD Hardware Development] iMattmax:
Is the fan mod really useful?

Does anyone else use a fan in his HU?
[MTCD Hardware Development] giouncino:
simply useless. If you switch stock thermal pad with a better quality one and install a good heatsink all is done. I did it one year ago and nothing more is necessary.

Consider that PX5 is a 5W SoC so a passive cooling is more than sufficient to remove heat
[MTCD Hardware Development] Ati_gangster:
Definitely not useless. Did you see the temperatures in combination with a heatsink?

A fan in the top cover cooling down the whole device.
[MTCD Hardware Development] giouncino:
Yes, I performed a torture test and SoC temperature during this test was between 70-80°C (never reached during normal use). So as I stated before: a 5W SoC can easily be cooled passively. If you want to increase noise, failure probability of the fan and dust inside the radio, you can but it's not necessary at all. I have experience in cooling CPUs (also with massive overclock) for decades, this is not my first experience.

Moreover my radio is working passively since last year and I've nevere experienced stuttering or problems due to heat.

Other parts of the radio are not hot at all.
[MTCD Hardware Development] jrobbom5:
Awesome job Alex, and great video. Comprehensive tests too. Thanks so much for your hard work
[MTCD Hardware Development] Ati_gangster:
70 to 80°C under which conditions?

What outside temperature?

Device 1Din or 2Din?

Cover open or closed?

Air conditioning on?

The advantage of active cooling is that not only the CPU is cooled, but also all other components such as voltage regulators, capacitors, amplifier chip and other microchips.

And if the 5€ fan should break after years, it's still better than if a 300€+ device breaks down.
[MTCD Hardware Development] rigattoni:
I tested a lot with and without heat sink and fan, same as you did.

By the way... Thanks a lot for providing the 3-D-images to print the top cover. :highfive:

I printed the top cover for my head units to be used with a 80mm "be quiet" fan, which is really not audible if the unit is mounted in the dash board. Even on bench test the fan is really quiet.

The CPU temperature of all my 2-DIN units got down from (in Throttling Test) ~95°C down to max 48°C. Throttling was a real an issue. Up to 55% throttling without cooling down. :eek:

With normal usage (navigation with active route guidance, some Tasker tasks in background working, audio decoding active) the CPU is cooled down from nearly 80°C to ~30°C at ~25°C outside temperature, which is much more comfortable for all the parts in the unit and resolved the throttling issues to less than 5-10%, dependent of the unit.

Tested on:

PX5 (RK3368)

CSN2 (RK3368) ...which was delivered with a complete closed top cover. I got temperatures without any running apps of something about 85°C, because no ventilation was possible.

RL7A (RK3399)

[MTCD Hardware Development] tagallo:
Guys I’m in search for heatsink that fits my 1din PX6 unit. Do you have the measurements for the module size I need to cover with the heatsink?

Thanks
[MTCD Hardware Development] raptor_demon:
I added this to mine:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RYK3J41/ref=dp_prsubs_1

the temps on my px5 swap were 90c which is way too hot for my liking, with this it never went above 60c and you cant hear any noise.
[MTCD Hardware Development] Geox70:
Hi, great job. Congratulations. Anyway, where to buy Alex's android fan kit from?
[MTCD Hardware Development] Chrisstian:
Directly from him. Search for his channel on YouTube, there is somewhere his WhatsApp number written. Just contact him over there and ask for fan kit.
[MTCD Hardware Development] comptechltd:
Don't know if this is the right location to post this but I just purchased a Vanku px6 4/64 and had every intention of at least putting a heat sink on it and I was pleasantly surprised to find this.. and it was even secured with screws. Win win View attachment 5114453

[MTCD Hardware Development] comptechltd:
Sorry don't know why the picture isn't showing. It is a pretty robust heat sink.
[MTCD Hardware Development] xdamember2:
My solution is a low-noise 12v fan stuck on top of the heatsink with strong double-sided mounting tape. Works like a charm.
[MTCD Hardware Development] comptechltd:
Attached is the picture I was trying to show earlier. This is the stock heatsink in the Vanku

Sorry, I give up. I can't get the pic to show.
[MTCD Hardware Development] coromonadalix:
I simply put an old intel mobo southbridge chip heatsink on a px6, some of them are very large

It has very long fins (over 1 1/4 ") by chance i could mod it to put longer screws to hold the px6 in place with the added heat sink

Fully passive, never had any problems
[MTCD Hardware Development] HatManSan:
I simply run my PX6 with no lid. Makes zero difference to induce RF noise etc and my temps are cut in half for free.
[MTCD Hardware Development] Thodai:
Kudos to Alex (Ati_gangster)!

Simply sent the width of the original cover and the position of the two side holes and the size of the favorite fan (not included in the scope of delivery) via WhatsApp and two days later I had my cover in the mailbox. The fit is great and my fan fits perfectly into the existing holes.

[MTCD Hardware Development] kehadamus:
fan=dust
[MTCD Hardware Development] rigattoni:
Well... The interior of the dashboard is really less dusty as one might think.

After nearly 1 year in my wife´s car I just found minimal dust on the fan and less on the cooler.

All fast CPU admit a lot of heat and they live longer if they are not overheated the hole time. Temps of 80°C and more are already after 45min drive normal. That leads to throttling and bad behavior of the CPU. So no way for me.

For me it is no question to live with some dust and pull the radio every now and then to check the dust in there. Some compressed air and that´s it.

So the words "fan=dust" is not really the truth.
[MTCD Hardware Development] kehadamus:
I don't want to disassemble the device even after 1 year. Get a good thermal paste. Grow passive cooler. There is enough space inside. When dust accumulates, it becomes conductive. No need to risk.
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
No it does not become conductive.
[MTCD Hardware Development] rigattoni:
To add more weight to this flimsy board just has bad influence on the stability of the main board. The board is not built to carry the extended weight, at least not in driving conditions in the car. This inevitably leads to fatigue fractures or fractures of the conductive paths on the board.

On top: You are dealing with a complete closed unit. The heat is even not able to get out of there.

Do whatever you want to do, but please don´t recommend to add additional or bigger passive cooler. That is really contra-productive.
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
Bravo. Exactly.
[MTCD Hardware Development] kehadamus:
According to you, cooling with a fan is correct. Is there any manufacturer that does this?
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
The FYT UIS7682 devices do.

These in my (biased) opinion are superior to MTCD devices and overcome alot of restrictions such as pairing any BT or BLE device and you dont need those hack mods/ROMs either. Recovery is also a breeze....

Head on over to the FYT sub forum for more info. MTCD is dead, long live MTCD :)
[MTCD Hardware Development] rigattoni:
Even CSN2 and CSM4 running the same chipset (PX5 or PX6) are a lot better than MTC*.

You still need a vent to keep the CPU cool, but other than that: I never would buy any MTC* unit again.

Unfortunately the FYT devices are not how I would like them. Otherwise I would have sold all my units and buy one of the FYT devices. They have a lot more software related features, but the variability is less. There is no 12.2" unit with a movable screen where you can tilt the screen to minimize glare.... but this is another story and is off topic.
[MTCD Hardware Development] HatManSan:
I have a PX6 HU and have an 80mm fan in the lid. My CPU was often 80c now it never goes above 42c end of. That is a success whichever way you slice it. These HU have next to nothing for cooling stock!
[MTCD Hardware Development] rigattoni:
Even a 60mm silent Noctua fan is absolutely sufficient. I have them on all my units and the temp is always around 45-50°C. You can´t even hear the fan, because I run them with a step-down to 9V.
[MTCD Hardware Development] HatManSan:
@rigattoni

Absolutely. Most small fans will make a huge difference. When I decided to do it there just so happened to be a 72mm hole cutter on my bench that I had used for something else. The first fan I pulled out of my fan drawer was an XBOX original back panel fan. My fan runs from the ACC on the loom so is on whenever the key is on ACC. These HU have terrible thermals and the simply fan mode is all that needs to be done. Don't forget your HU is more than likely on top of your HVAC system as well so the mod is a must.
[MTCD Hardware Development] esmeraldo18:
I installed a 40x40x10mm aluminum heatsink over the original cover with changing both thermal pads (over cpu and cover) with a very quality ones (0.5mm thickness), did a test without a fan an it was better than stock but it reached 85C and cpu lowered cores clock. then I installed a 40x40x10mm fan over the heatsink and it lowered the general temperature, I get 5v from usb ports and the fan works with 12v so it turned at low rpm and again cpu reached 85C and lowered the clock rates (under stress load). but when I get 12v from acc and connect to fan, it prevents it from reaching over 80C but it was very loud. so I decided to remove aluminum cover because it acts like a barrirer for heatsink.

I thought mounting heatsink directly over the cpu with thermal paste instead of thermal pad is a good idea and I used a epoxy glue next to cpu like a raindrop and applied thermal paste over cpu and compressed pcb and heatsink for 2 hours to cure epoxy. after this test again cpu reached over 80C and throttled, then I mounted 40x40x10 fan with 5v and it seemed that the problem solved until I connect the unit to my car. It worked perfect until car gets hot. no matter which fan and heatsink you install over cpu, without removing hot air from inside the unit, it'll create problems in the end. now I want to try to install a custom made bigger heatsink mounted directly over the cpu by using screw holes but it seems like I f.ked up the pcb by applying epoxy glue over it because I'm unable to remove heatsink, it cured like a monoblock piece. I believe a fan mounted to the case to vacuum air and a big heatsink with passive cooling will be a better approach.
[MTCD Hardware Development] rigattoni:
Just do it as it is shown by @Ati_gangster here in the first posting. Everything else is not recommended.

Don´t attach anything on top of the CPU as the mounts for the boards are not developed to carry additional weight.

Remove the thermal pads and use a good thermal paste instead, use the top from ATI_gangster and use a 60mm vent. That is all you need. these tops are exactly what is needed to get cold air in and hot air out of the case.
[MTCD Hardware Development] country_hick:
The top covers here will not work with an Eonon GA2185 and GA2189S and probably will not fit other brand 10.1" screen headunits. The video board is bolted onto the top cover.

I figure based on the space that board takes up I can install a 80mm fan on the opposite side from that board. It would require either a newly designed 3D printed replacement cover or drilling many holes on the other side of the cover to allow sufficient ventilation.

View attachment 5910823

I am wondering if there is a good reason not to cut more holes in the cover over the PX5 to provide better airflow. It seems that putting a better heat sink on top of this plate just over the processor would allow all the components on the blue board to keep cooler. if I had a 3d printer and knew how to use it I would make a plastic duct to go from a corner of the fan at the top of the case to the PX5 box and an angled duct aimed the opposite direction to ensure effective airflow inside that case.

View attachment 5910827

I am thinking that cutting a hole in the back above the plug ins on the opposite side from the fan would provide better airflow if the cars design allows it. Cutting out some metal from the side where the radio bolts into the car would make a better path for airflow. Some cars are made so the radio bolts in from the front so it might work depending on dimensions of the radios mounting location.

If I had a 3d printer I would make a 90 degree air vent to push the hot air out from the dash. That air vent would be a square on the radio but go into a round end to allow using standard round ducting products.

Every car will be different regarding how this could be achieved. Some cars have nothing but dead space under the radio while other cars would be impossible to get through that area.

View attachment 5910837

On this radio the case itself DOES act as a heat sink. (Edited to remove the mistaken idea.)

View attachment 5910851

View attachment 5910853

The radio housing is obviously holding a lot of heat inside. I plan on making a custom console for my pickup and putting the radio boards inside the console without any housing. I would still use a quiet fan to cool those boards down. The console would be designed with airflow in mind so the hot air would be replaced with cold air. I am fairly sure than a piece of ABS or plywood 1" away from the outside panels or 1" above the transmission hump or flat floor would provide sufficient cooling air from the back seat area if aimed properly.
[MTCD Hardware Development] rigattoni:
That is not true.

The case acts as a heat sink for the amplifier, which is bolted to the back. There is a reason that they use thermal paste.

I would just create a new cover and print it accordingly. Do not mount it without housing ... it would get damaged.
[MTCD Hardware Development] country_hick:
Thank you for the reply. Sometimes looks are deceiving. It just looked like the parts were sitting there.
