Thanks for re-uploading - it does not bother me - I'm all up for sharing with others, just unfortunately I am very busy with my job at the moment so have little time to keep an eye on less important issues, so thank you for re-uploading for the benefit of others :)

I also had the GPS issue with Waze appear yesterday. Strange I thought as I have never had this before, but if I go to Maps then it finds the signal immediately, so I don't think it is a GPS/connectivity issue, but a Waze issue.

I noticed Waze wasn't downloading new ares of maps - then I noticed it wasn't logging in. I confirmed the details by logging in on my phone - they were OK. Confirmed the Asteroid had internet connection - can stream from LiveRadio OK. I uninstalled/re-installed and I still can't login, nor create a new account.

I have collected issues here and I have sent them to Parrot - if any more pop up just post up and I will check back every few days to send them to Parrot:

Waze

-----

Route not always showing full route

when detour from route does not recalculate, if route disappears from screen cannot see where to go

When searching, Waze search needs full town name. Partial matches not found, which I think they should be, even when unique you have to spell the entire name.

Waze worked for 2 days only, and now does not work - it fails with a login failed error. I do not believe this to be the actual problem as I can log in OK with my mobile. I even tried creating a new account and logging in, but again Waze on the asteroid failed with "login failed" error. Also cannot create new account from Waze.

I uninstalled and re-installed, but the same problem. I also upgraded yesterday to the latest version, but the same problem.

"Avoid highways" seems to work only after the Asteroid's reboot;

How can I add the current position (where the car is now) to my favorites?

waze always says "no gps" when switching from menu to map etc. (think the asteroid deactivates gps while in settings etc.)

Player

-------

usb player - when browsing directories make it remember the last one entered - when switching from the player it goes back to the top.

Lose the top line 'directories' and gain an extra line for the directory listing.

Make font smaller to show more lines

make ff and rr steps larger the longer the button is held. Try fast forwarding to 1h 20 in a long mp3 file, whilst driving.

Other

------

Change log - what is new in this release?

During a call cannot multi task by pressing home and getting back to navigation

it's not possible to resume liveradio/tunein after coldstart ... this will be a very nice feature if possible

an option to implement autostart after coldstart would be nice
[General Accessories] vesp:
i think waze only accepts internet connection from usb stick ... i have tried it with bluetooth and it doesn't work (even if liveradio/tunein is working)
[General Accessories] esziszi:
Waze can work through a USB modem or through Bluetooth sharing, I tested both.

However, something happened and it does not connect anymore.

I concur that it must be a Waze issue, more exactly Parrot's Waze's issue. Reinstall does not help.
[General Accessories] Blaze Falconburger:
I also had it working through Bluetooth network sharing for 2 days. Then I got the train for a few days and now it doesn't work :silly:
[General Accessories] esziszi:
It got jealous.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

1. I left a three star rating on the Asteroid Market for Waze and mentioned that it doesn't work anymore. Maybe Parrot will read it.

2. I vaguely remember that I had the same problem with Waze and a Cyanogenmod Android ROM on my phone - it would connect through Wifi, but not through 3G. It's on a Cyanogenmod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2) based ROM now and Waze works. Maybe it's an old Waze bug that affects older Android versions.

Sorry didn't realize that this was a classic and smart topic together. I had the latest version on 4.2.2 working on my asteroid smart. Just the last version that was on my galaxy nexus. Sorry don't have it at hand here but see that someone already uploaded it.
[General Accessories] timbouk:
Did anyone here get hold of the Asteroid Classic 2.0 beta install file? Or does anyone have a download link please?
[General Accessories] wessel99:
See post #201.

There's a separate thread for the asteroid smart here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2118432

See posts #157 or #200. Both have links to the same file.
[General Accessories] timbouk:
Fantastic, many thanks. I did go through the thread, and #200 looked like they were talking about the Smart. :good:

The file referenced in #157 and #200 works for the Asteroid Classic. Tested.
[General Accessories] Drizzur Urden:
Which android version is update 2.0?

Can anyone confirm whether update 2.0 is android version cupcake or froyo or gingerbread? if in fact this is also an android update it opens much possibilities.
[General Accessories] crater:
The Smart Is gingerbread. The classic is 1.5. Dev team confirms they will not update the android version of either.
[General Accessories] sav_za:
Are you referring to the post on the Parrot forums? That was an installer saying they would not upgrade to 4.x so I wouldn't read too much into it.

Parrot themselves said they were investigating 4 for the Smart.
[General Accessories] crater:
No I was referring to actual information from the french development team. The way they have all their custom stuff in there it requires them to go back and pretty much start from scratch again. And they don't get paid extra to do that so there isn't much in it for them.

FYI there is a dev site at https://devzone.parrot.com/
[General Accessories] sav_za:
Thanks, looks like they're getting their wires crossed because there was definitely a post from Parrot somewhere saying they're investigating 4.x, I just can't remember where I saw it.
[General Accessories] crater:
Probably to keep people's interest. And I'm sure they will look at it if it buys them anything feature wise. investigating and actually developing are different things. I wouldn't expect a real answer on if they'll do it, and if they someday to devote effort to it, it will likely be for a new headunit. Thats the way these sorts of companies work.
[General Accessories] sav_za:
Yep, I agree 100%. They can keep 4.x, all I really want is to be able to search for BT devices and pair them.
[General Accessories] crater:
You can use Btoolkit to search and pair devices.. but for items like the ELM OBD2 readers it tried 0000 as pair code only, so if your device uses something else, no pair. Sucks. I hope they change that as well. Or someone finds a bluetooth app that supports changing the attempted pair code.
[General Accessories] sav_za:
Yep, that is the problem - I've posted a Youtube video of Torque running on my Asteroid a while ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwXyrxHbuNs

but that was using a friend's old ELM327. Tried a different ELM with passcode 1234 and it wouldn't allow me to input a passcode.

I have contacted Btoolkit support, they said they would look into it.

Fellas, Waze started working on my Classic, on last Sunday, I think. I haven't done anything to it, not even a reinstall. Which is fishy - either Waze changed something on their login server, or Parrot did, on their server, which would mean the client logs in to Waze through Parrot. No idea.

Anyway, I'm not really complaining, since it works and it's free.

R: Parrot Asteroid

Navigon crash on 2.0 beta :(

Send from my i9300 Marble White powered by XDA with Tapatalk²
[General Accessories] esziszi:
It did not crash for me. I used it twice on 2.0, both times for an hour or so, while driving. I installed it in exactly the same way as for firmware 1.6.1.

Check your SD card; my various mobile software crashes were 95% because of card failure, full or partial.

PS: Unfortunately, with every Navigon reinstall on the Asteroid, I had to rebuild my personal POI list by hand. If you know how to back up and restore the POIs, please tell.
[General Accessories] Drizzur Urden:
Is it possible to let the display/button brightness change on time or by turning the lights on?
[General Accessories] Drizzur Urden:
Found out that Pressing the Parrot button and rotating the knob results in switching between day/night brightness settings
[General Accessories] esziszi:
On my Classic, you just have to long-press the Parrot button for day/night illumination, no rotating involved.

Parrot dead after upgrade

I installed this firmware last night, everything went ok. Scanned for stations on radio, went through the different menus, no problem. Switch off the ignition, radio switches off etc.

I started my car this morning, nothing!! Display stays black and there seems to be no life in the device whatsoever....... :confused:

Resetting it with the small reset button does nothing, disconnecting it from power ditto, is there a way to load the old firmware? :(
[General Accessories] Dominic0176:
I had the same problem after flashing the beta firmware. Somehow the flashing process makes the SD-Card unreadable (at least my card wasn't readable anymore).

Try to take out your SD-Card and reboot the device, this should bring your it back to life.
[General Accessories] Darkjamzi:
Great, thanks this worked. :highfive:

[General Accessories] :
will the unit ever have a proper HPF "high pass filter" as seems be ok for the subwoofer even though the cutout ranges dont even seem take much effect at all really. but the virtual bass is no good to use for cutout hz as this also cuts out the subwoofer bass which is pointless.

seems bit waste that there doesnt seem be any really kinda filter for LPF and HPF
[General Accessories] Drizzur Urden:
I thought I was the only one with the same problem.

the audio processor seems to have some potential since there is the ability to have an LPF on the sub, an 7-band Equalizer, a fairly ajustable bassboost and good ajustable time alignment. Too bad that the most important thing, like having a HPF on the mains is not there. therefore the sub and the mains will overlap each other and the mains may be driven with too much power in the lows which will sound muffled.

Good - LPF is available in the audioFx subwoofer settings.

Good - Time alignement

Good - Virtual superbass is nice to have when you only use mains

Bad - There is no HPF available for the Main speakers

Bad - There is no Subsonic filter for the subwoofer

Bad - Virtual superbass is affecting the mainspeakers and the subwoofer as well

No this is version 2 p5. The leak was p2.
[General Accessories] spiderknight:
Any big difference between the two? Have yet to install p5.
[General Accessories] la.ouiche:
Thanks for the info about the b5.

I've just installed it and it's good so far (not be able to really test it and particulalry Waze but it seems encouraging after a first boot).
[General Accessories] bb2005:
I am also very interested in this update. If anyone share .арк will be happy.
[General Accessories] la.ouiche:
For the Smart you can find version 2.0.1 on the official website (for France available here: http://www.parrot.com/fr/support/parrot-asteroid-smart)

I'm running the 2p5 on the Asteroid Classic, and found Waze to work very badly with the GPS. I have really often messages like NO GPS, and when I try to navigate I always have the message to go to the highlight road (and on the screen my position is updated and I'm following of course the right direction). Sometimes Waze ends up in a black screen with nothing happening (typically when I ask for a route and if there's a GPS or network problem), then I have to quit the app and restart it.

Anyone noticed the same behavior? Have you find any workaround?
[General Accessories] itolson:
I have installed the p2 and waze always works fine.... when it says no gps if you press the standby on the until is the gps symbol displayed ??
[General Accessories] fonetval:
I have the 2.0p5 ans it works fine (only one crash with a boom sound)

Waze is ok but i can't find the ‛prefered device ‛ in BT parameters (and so the 'reconnect automaticaly' option)...

Anybody has an idea ?
[General Accessories] la.ouiche:
May be my gps sensor is not well placed (it's behind the asteroid, inside the dashboard, with a little view to the outside through the air aperture for the windscreen).

But I had no issue with previous asteroid and Navigon (it never took more than few seconds to be located and It's been working well with Navigon).

May be Waze is more sensitive to a precise location, I will try to move the GPS sensor to see if it helps as nobody else encounter the issue (but I have to remove the car radio so I won't be able to do it very soon...).

EDIT: I've not moved my gps sensor yet but I continue to use Waze on a daily basis to go to work, and I noticed it sometimes detects me at the right position and give me the correct indications. What's strange is that always occurs exactly at the same places during my trip. Don't know if it's interresting, will still have to move the sensor to check the behavior...

Firmware or parrot add-on

Hi all

Sorry to break the 2.0p5 firmware thread, but I need to have something confirmed about firmware.

I have been called a complete idiot (maybe so - but then again) in the parrot UK support forum.

I just asked if it was possible to make a quantum leap to android 4.2, when 2.0 was done.

It would be a nice thing - right ?

"someone" claimed that the android version was 1.5 and always would be. 2.0p5 was just a parrot add-on.

DUH

I expect when I upgrade firmware from 1.5 to 1.6.1 on a device, it is not jusrt an add-on I upgrade (except maybe for HTC android based smartphones)

Am i an idiot ?
[General Accessories] esziszi:
The "2.0p5" refers to the firmware version, not the Android operating system version inside the firmware. Parrot's programmers changed a lot since the Asteroid firmware 1.6.1, so they call this one v2. The operating system that is used in firmware 2 is still Android 1.5 and there is no indication that they will upgrade to a newer Android version.

It's a bit like One Direction's fifth album, if there is such a thing. They still are (will be?) called One Direction, not Fifth Direction. So will be Android 1.5, firmware 5.0 (yeah, like they won't dump development for Asteroid Classic, by then).

Disclaimer: I have no other knowledge about OD, except their name and that many people make fun of them on the Web.

[General Accessories] Will_S_944:
other install steps?? Asteroid Navigan 2.5.1

I've re-watched the original video that was refereed to in the other posts, and made sure I did everything as was shared.

It installed without any problems. however

When started I simply get at that PC or WLAN option,

however in any posts or references I see no-one mentioning the way around this, I did refer to the navigon site and they state that the app does 'phone home'.... right after install

So dismissing that I found and installed a vsn on another droid, "Nav Fresh" recognized it, and I got all the US Maps... transferred them to the asteroid... still nothing...... Doe it require any of the obex files in the other folders to be copied to the asteroid?

Is there some post or site that does the install completely from Step one..step 2.. step to completion
[General Accessories] esziszi:
If you are talking about installing Navigon, I can refer you to my older post nr. 68, which contains the step by step instructions I followed with success. It worked for me, both on firmware 1.6.1 and the current 2.0 beta p5.
[General Accessories] Will_S_944:
navigon

thats actually the article I referenced .. i went through the hoops getting that apk from the french site, the only instance were I couldn't follow was getting the maps before I installed it, and the navigon still installs on the internal storage

here's a picture of what I get..

I think I may just have to go into the fs and delete all the ancillary navigon files
[General Accessories] esziszi:
Yep, Navigon the app installs on the internal storage for me as well, but the other files (maps, audio etc.) are on the card.

As far as I read, that French archive has both the apk and the extra files for it. I think not only the apk, but some of the extra files are modified, too.

Maybe you tried to pair the apk with a different set of miscellaneous files. I used the apk+files from that archive; the only file I got from somewhere else was the .map file for my country.
[General Accessories] Fwnk:
Put the map files in a directory on the SD card, not on the root. Then reinstall Navigon.
[General Accessories] Will_S_944:
Thanks, figured out what happened {Navigon]

Many Thanks.. I figured out what was wrong.. I had tested so many apps on it after the 2.0beta "upgrade" there was another Navigon settings file left over from a vsn I tried before finding the video/instrct pages.. I just reset the unit and re-added the apps that I know I'll keep.. Wahooo I can finally install it in the car

does it matter if i use the french version even though im in Australia?

will it come up in french?
[General Accessories] la.ouiche:
I don't think it make a difference (unless the hardware is different in Australia, what I doubt). I'm with an Asteroid Classic in France and the French version is in French yes !
[General Accessories] tomee7:

i loaded 2.0 beta, but i have a problem where i cant download apps because i need a SD card, but when i do put one in the unit does not recognize it
[General Accessories] magius:
You would be better off by downloading the UK or USA version of the firmware.

http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/parrot-asteroid-classic/beta-tests

There are a couple of things to be aware of when using SD cards on the Asteroid (I had similar issues):

- *UPDATE* It will accept 64GB SD cards, according to some of the Asteroid forum members, just need to make sure the card is formatted properly as stated next.

- The file system cannot be Microsoft based (it needs to be Fat32 or lower)

- If using a micro SD, make sure that the SD adapter write tab is not sliding to the lock position when it is inserted.

I finally went to a Microcenter store and bought a fast Samsung 32GB SD card ($20-$30), installed it straight out of the box and the Parrot could not have been happier. All the apps I tried installed/updated without any hiccups.

I have been using the beta firmware for a couple of months now and it has been great (crosses fingers). There are obvious bugs that need to be fixed and some more obscure ones (there have been reports of reboots) but it is so much better. My main annoyances is that the automatic volume control is sometimes spotty (goes up, but sometimes forgets to come down), random track does not works if you use voice recognition to pick up an artist, and it seems like the AudioFX equalizer, bass, etc.does not come back on after the radio has been shut off for a while. Oh, and bluetooth internet sharing keeps connecting/disconnecting from my S3. Luckily USB internet works perfectly.

[General Accessories] dprantl:
Thanks for the p5 link vesp!

The problem is that a lot of installed apk's only launch after they are installed. If the asteroid is powered down for a long time or reset, the app force-closes when trying to launch. Reinstalling the app will get it to work again until the unit is powered down.
[General Accessories] spiderknight:
I wonder if it has something to do with installing the new software while the old app info is on SD card. I had a strange issue when going from p5 british to p5 US. Spotify would not install at all. So, I used a different SD card and re-installed. Now it works.
[General Accessories] dprantl:
Could be, but I doubt it. I went from 2.0.1 to 2.0.0 BetaP2 and the issue went away. I then went back to 2.0.0 BetaP5 and the issue is still not there.
