[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I normally don't answer these kind of topics as it is a never ending story, but maybe I or others can use it to copy around in likewise questions.

They are more or less the same when it comes to the software. They are FYT based and have support for the several versions of hardware.

But anyway, for all units be it FYT based, MTCx, TSx, AC8227, etc., etc., FIRST compare the hardware:

Check whether the screen is TFT/IPS/QLED (in increasing quality=readability). Go for nothing less than 1280x720 (1024x600 is not good enough anymore, but in the end it is up to you).

Check which FM-chip (from low to high):

TDA7786x or Philips (NXP) TEF6851 => budget chip without RDS.

TDA7708x => middle segment but good enough

Philips (NXP) TEF6686 => top FM chip

Check which audio chip (low to high):

TDA7388 -> budget, not good.

TDA7850/TDA7851: Both good. 7851 has slightly less power output with slightly less heat dissipation. Less chance of overheating. The TDA7851 has almost everywhere been replaced with the TDA7838, which should be identical in quality/performance (no idea, google around)

DSP: nowadays mostly ROHM BU32107. (Earlier ADAU chips are not so good but seem only to be used in MTCx units.)

CPU (fast to slow): UIS7862 (Unisoc ums512), SC9853i and PX6, PX5 AC8257, PX30, AC8237 and PX3.

This order is a bit discussable, but the uis7862 is definitely the fastest currently.

Memory: minimal 2GB, 4GB is fine. Some prefer 6GB but that is actually not necessary.

Now back to the FYT models you are mentioning. They are more or less comparable. It "seems" T'eyes support is better, but I leave that to the owners (Don't want to start a flame here ;))

What? Android Auto?

You are going to buy such an expensive high-power full-fledged full functional Android unit and use it as a cheap emulator for the restricted Android Auto?????

I really, really don't understand these kind of arguments. If you want to use Android Auto, for which you indeed sometimes need to pay separately, then choose a cheap unit which supports this as well.
[Android Head-Units] Bob_Sanders:
Android Auto is crap

When people think about buying these android head units I don't think they quite get the idea that these are pretty much full-on android tablets complete with their own android operating system. There really is no need to run android auto. Things like spotify.... youtube... siriusxm... etc... can be downloaded from the google playstore and run directly from the head unit itself. All you need to do is supply a wifi hotspot from your phone, or fit the head unit with its own 4g card.
[Android Head-Units] ivosto:
Thanks guys, really useful answers! About android auto - I have, had no idea it wasn't that good. I never had a car with more than a single colored screen and always see adverts about new cars which specify they have android auto or apple car play as such a huge extra. After all isn't this to link the phone to the car system and operate the phone from the display? What if I receive e call ? The Bluetooth/wi-fi connection will allow me to answer it from the car media? And lastly i really want to have it lazy - for example i get in the car - my head unit and the car connect somehow , can i make it play Spotify automatically ? is there something like Bixby routines or.. can it happen at all? Or actually i can do it from the phone - when connected to that head unit to play Spotify like I have a program to play automatically when it connects to a certain speaker? Thanks very much again!
[Android Head-Units] Bob_Sanders:
I have a simple bixby routine set up to turn the phone wifi hotspot on for use with the head unit, and then off again when I turn my jeep off. Of course the head unit automatically connects to that hotspot when it sees it. It's all automatic. I don't have to pull the phone out at all.

You can downlaod a tasker to start Spotify automatically if you wish.

Yes, your phone's bluetooth will connect automatically for phone calls.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Bixby is Samsung only.

You can also use Tasker/MacroDroid/Automagic/Automate/etc. to do what you do what @Bob_Sanders is doing with BixBy.

When you switch on the unit it connects via BT to your phone. That triggers MacroDroid/Tasker on your phone for that BT device (the unit) to switch on the hotspot, which the car unit on its turn then automatically connects to.

And when you switch off the car/unit, your BT connection is broken and the phone hotspot is stopped.

Works all the time for me.
[Android Head-Units] Bob_Sanders:

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] xFilthyxJesusx:
I finally decided to 'upgrade' my Poco X3 Suyra (EEA I think, even though it says 'global' in the settings) to MIUI-V12.0.8.0.RJGEUXM from V4

The upgrade went smoothly. However, now the recent apps feature when pressing the menu button does not function. When I press the button nothing happens at all. I went to 'button shortcuts' in the settings and double checked the the menu button was set to open recent apps. I switched the menu button to the other option, to open the menu on keypress. That functions just fine. I set the menu button back to open recent apps and again, nothing happens on keypress.

I'm at a loss here.

I debloated the system and removed a lot of the MIUI, Google, and misc software that came preloaded. I also went through and restricted permissions for the remaining system apps that I have no use for, but could not remove or disable.

I am unrooted and on stock ROM. Bootloader is not unlocked as I put my phone in airplane mode frequently. Also Mi Account shows my sim card as not inserted no matter what I do.

I've also noticed that my battery life is absolutely terrible now... Is it possible to roll back this update? I'm guessing no..

Thank you in advance for your help!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] xFilthyxJesusx:
Does anyone know the package that handles recent apps?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] ..::WD40::..:
To use menu button again just install Poco launcher and don't uninstall it. I assume you are using some other launcher now and in debloat process you remove poco launcher. In Android 11 launcher which come with rom must be here.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] xFilthyxJesusx:
Yes Poco Launcher was removed.

I used ADB App Control to run this command on firmware V4

pm uninstall --user 0 com.mi.android.globallauncher

I then attempted to use

pm install --user 0 com.mi.android.globallauncher

to reinstall Poco Launcher.

Unfortunately this did not work.

Do you happen to know the package name on the newest firmware?

Or can I just goto the Play Store and grab the Poco Launcher from there? It wouldn't be a system app, so Idk if that would fix the recent apps issue? I notice the package name is the same as listed above.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] xFilthyxJesusx:
For those that also run into the same issue. I found the launcher listed in ADB App Control under the "deleted" section of the applications window. From there I was able to restore the Poco Launcher and the recent apps are back :)

If tablet's bootloader is unlockable, then in principle YES.

To verify this open Android's Settings -> Developer options and check for option OEM unlock is present.

To replace tablet's Stock ROM by a matching Custom ROM 1st thing of all things what is needed is you've to find a suitable Custom Recovery ( like TWRP ).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinGill:
Hi,

I updated this tablet using Lenovo Smart Upgrade Assistant - update to TB_8504F_USR_S001019_1909091114_Q12000_ROW seems fine except my Wifi/WLAN is totally dead.

If I turn it on, it looks turns back to off quickly, but never actually turns on, and sometimes tablet hangs for a while sometimes when I try to turn wifi on.

I saw a previous post where someone also had this problem and solved it by flashing a modded ROM then flashing the stock ROM and Wifi worked again (with a strange MAC address after that procedure)

But I am stuck because the option to enable OEM Unlocking in Developer Options is greyed out - underneath it says to Connect to the internet or contact your carrier.

I have tried unlocking via ADB but this does not work either.

If I go into settings, WLAN Preferences, it says my MAC Address is 02:00:00:00:00:00 which seems to match other people with this problem.

I tried installing a terminal emulator, "ip link show" returns request send failed: Permission denied, "ip link" says I have:

1: lo:

2: duumy0:

3: sit0@NONE:

I don't have wlan0 or wlan1, and lo/dummy0/sti0@NONE did not show the 02:00:00:00::00:00 address.

Please does anyone have any ideas for me?

If I cannot get wifi working, is there any way I can connect to internet using USB to my PC?

I eventually found a version of QFIL that works (part of the QPST package) https://droidfilehost.com/download/download-qpst_2-7-480/

I found a ROM https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C1Fd5m7BMLqrhURAj0kWdqeiZGIuU95k/view (password: https://firmware247.com)

It seems to have downgraded, but now when it starts, I get the screen where I can choose location, and after a few seconds it reboots.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adazem009:
Please try to format data (if you don't have important data in the device) and reboot. If that doesn't help, download latest firmware (S001031). You can also try a custom ROM. Below are links to them:

LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9)

LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10)

Resurrection Remix OS (Android 10)

crDroid (Android 10)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinGill:
Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I can't load any custom ROM's because my bootloader is locked.

I downloaded twrp-3.2.3-0-tb_8504x.img and renamed that to recovery.img and put in the folder with the rest of stock ROM and reflashed the downgraded stock ROM (TB-8504F_S000029_170518_ROW_QFIL) but same problem, and I still have normal recovery, not TRWP so I can't load custom ROM's.

Any chance you can please share a link to S001031 please to see if that helps?

I just tried flashing stock ROM TB_8504F_USR_S130004_1902221150_Q12000_SCP and now OEM Unlocking is not greyed out, but I'm still stuck with Android Recovery instead of TRWP. Hopefully will have fun tomorrow.

Damn, somehow ended up with tablet bricked and now I have 900E Diagnostics connection. Trying to use a deep flash cable to get it into EDL mode but doesn't seem to work for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinGill:
Deep flash cable didn't work.

Found a Yourtubr clip about changing the Qualcomm driver from 900E to 9008 - didn't work.

But found a video on the internet that got me out of trouble.

In the clip it says to leave the battery unplugged - that did not work for me. I needed to short the test points, plug in USB, then connect battery and it's flashing again in 9008 mode.

After flashing I had to disconnect and reconnect the battery to get it to boot normally.

Looks like I will be back where I was a day or two ago.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Well try the above suggestions.

However my feeling is that they will not work.

Without testing I cannot be certain but the possibility that springs to mind is a blown motherboard fuse. This is not like a regular fuse that can be changed by slotting in a new one. It is a component on the m/board that needs to be replaced using a heat gun.

Well how do I avoid this. This is the 3rd one in a row that has done this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
!!!! 3rd one incredible.

Assuming

it is the fuse then I can only assume it is due to prolonged high current being drawn. Do you have prolonged or very frequent calls (particularly in areas where the phone swaps bands eg GPRS/Edge etc)?

If this is not the case then to be honest I cannot think of a reason without taking a detailed history of how the phone(s) were used and setup. Did you get info on what the fault was with the previous phones?
