does anyone know if there is a software that will flip the screen so i can view it the right way in a mirror? im using a gps software and i wanted to view it on my windshield properly
So I am planning getting a Touch Pro when AT&T releases it (soon). I will greatly miss the tilting screen on my Tilt, but perhaps the TV output on the Touch Pro will more than make up for it.
I am thinking about getting some "Virtual Reality" glasses, and connecting them to the tv output on the Touch Pro.
which glasses are the cheapest/best? I was hoping to find some I could see thru while I wear them if possible, so I could still see the world around me (and not miss my stop on the train).
Also- can you charge the phone while you simultaneously use the tv output? This could be great for using at work.
Good question. I remember seeing something about some that were transparent and could do overlays, which looked kinda cool.
I am just gutted that the raph does not have an electronic compass (Like the Nokia 6210), else we could have full Augmented Reality.
Electronic compass + GPS + orientation sensors = Full outdoor AR...
Camera optional if you had glasses that could do transparent overlay.
Look at a company called "Myvu". They make an assortment of HMD's, one variety being a "shade" version. These require you to look down a little bit to see the screen but you can still see straight ahead through sunglass lenses.
Personally, I am looking to buy a pair from Vuzix, mainly because they have the option of adding a light shade that makes you feel more isolated.
Hi all..
I recently bought a cheap carkit for in my car.
I use it in horizontally mode, this because i found it easier to use..
And my navigation is horizontally..
I don't want to use any hardware buttons. because there all in use.
Is it possible to use magnets? I know that u can rotate the screen, but
i'm wondering if it could harm your phone.. Any ideas?
I use one for the same purpose in my car. Works great, and there have been no ill effects thus far. I've probably had my car kit magnet setup for 4-5 months. In my mind, if you want to be as careful as possible do some research on how long it takes to demagnetize something, as the greatest risk is that you demagnetize the built-in magnet used for keyboard prompted keyboard switching. Also, but sure to use the smallest magnet you can find.
Use a button mapper, like AEButton plus to map a "double-click" rotate command to one of the hardware keys. No need of that barbaric magnet stuff lol.
Hi guys,
I have a really great idea for a simple app using the g-sensor however I have no idea how to program. All it has to do is recognize when the handset has been rotated on each axis. I presume it is possible also use the compass to detect a 180 degrees rotation without flipping the device too.
All it has to do is recognize which way the phone has spun and play a sound / briefly display a graphic for a few seconds immediately after.
I might actually like to make this commercially, so I won't go into too much detail, but if anyone would like some money from potential revenue and thinks they could do this without too much trouble then please get in touch by PM. I can throw together all the graphics myself pretty easily so it's just the coding really.
Cheers,
Mike
Hi All,
I just got this unit from amazon. I have the quad core 2GB RAM 16GB ROM 10.1" version which came with Android 8.1. Installation was easy and the unit seems very nice and fast enough but when ever I try to open an app like spotify or youtube or even OBD apps the screen goes black with "DO NOT operate while driving" error. I tried installing a third party launcher and it caused this error every time I tried to go to the home screen. Google maps does not cause this issue.
I currently wired the rear cable to ground just in case wiring causing the issue but that did not help. Under the settings there is no option in the video section which would allow me to turn off this error. Overall the rom on this as is looks half baked missing bunch of options. I do not even have a system update option for me to flash a different firmware.
Any suggestions that could help me get rid of this annoying issue and use this unit properly?
Thank you all.
Seems nobody cares but I finally figured out the solution. Under settings>car options>about there is another settings button. If you select that and enter "8888" it will take you to the deep settings menu where in drive options you change "Break" to "0". This will get rid of this bug permanently.
Thanks in anyways.
I care
I just had the same exact problem with the same radio
thanks so much for taking the time to update your post!
Do you have anymore information on tips and tricks for this radio?
Hi, tried this on my mekede head unit, took a few minutes to figure out which menu to follow and the part to alter but it worked great. Awesome. Cheers

Good job on figuring it out... I went through this with the same exact head unit...
Let me expand on this "problem" a little further please...
So most head units now are more than just a radio/CD player ..specifically ones with DVD players (or ones that can play any video really) the manufacturers can be held liable for people getting into an accident while driving because they were watching a movie or had a movie playing (Cant fix stupid) on their head unit located on the dash (as well as it being illegal in most (if not all) states in the USA).
REAR DVD players are exempt from this because... well they are in the rear... and not in the driver's line of sight.
With that being said, one wire on the harness that came with this unit (wire #23 I think) is labeled " BRAKE CONTROL" - IF (a big IF here) EONON set this up like most other head unit manufacturers that make an in dash DVD/video display, this wire needs to be connected to the brake switch so that it receives a signal saying that the brake is "on" and the vehicle is not moving...therefore "SAFE" to operate this unit (watch a movie, video, make setting changes, brew you a cup of coffee, paint your nails etc etc etc......)
Because there is NO REALLY good diagram for wiring this to the brake switch... you are left with a guess as to how it is to be done. (Should just be a positive connection from parking brake to wire.... I think... I guess...)???
This brake safety feature has been in other units for years and a LOT of people negate this circuit (I wont list the ways... it's easy to figure out) I even know of some car installers that worked for a national electronic retail store that would "bypass" this circuit in the customer's cars.
I am glad Eonon put this programming control into the back end of the unit because I, (having installed a few radios in numerous vehicles I have owned) REALLY didnt want to go through the trouble of bypassing the circuit... so shutting it off, on The unit was just as well for me. 1 less wire to worry about.
Just go into the root menu as stated above, and select "BRAKE" then adjust to 0. This removes all enable/disable requirements for that circuit.
Great unit so far... wish Eonon would spend more time writing a more informative instruction manual.. and maybe hire an American or British to actually write the darn thing so people could understand it.
Hope this helps.
I have the same unit but I can't get the panel to light up. Anyone knows how to wire to the car to get the panel to light up?

Panel as in the buttons not on the touch screen? (Ie power, volume up volume down )
Wire (I believe its orange or blue in color if my memory serves me well) regardless it has a tag on it that says "ILL" or ILLUM... that's for illumination. You need to figure out what wire in your car is for illumination for the stereo... if you cant, run a wire from your headlight switch that controls the parking light. USUALLY, there is a wire for the stereo to make it light up when the headlights are turned on. You just need to find it.

Yep. In the Eonon harness, it's an Orange wire with a tag on it that says "ILL". just hook it to any wire that feeds your dash lights.
Dears,
anybody tried Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit?
I'm actually on Eonon GA2168K - 10" Android 8 Head Unit, it's a good device with minor problems.
Anytime developers fix a problem they introduce an other problem and there's no community support for MTK chipsets.
Because of this I'm evaluating the new Eonon GA2178, that is quite similar but based on Rockchip chipset.
Tks!
Brake setting
On my Ga2172 the brake setting shows open close or speed, so which is it to watch video on the move?
