On gsmarena, the specs for the phone lists an FM Radio with RDS, however I can't seem to locate the radio. Is it there or am I mistaken?
i can't find it either, there are tons of really ****ty stock apps tho
I have just installed this unit in my car. It is really great.
Android 6.0.1, 1024x600, 2gb ram...radio tda7786...
But...
Have some issues with fm radio. On frequencies where should be only one station i hear two. For example on 92.7, 103, 104.5 fm i hear proper station but in the backgound i can hear station from 101.7.
How to fix that?
I found radio settings... What for are fm local and dx numbers?
And the second qestion is... How to root that device?
Can someone explain why it is not possible to use Next Radio in place of the radio app in Joying Sofia units? I mean not streaming, but the radio feature. Why can't it use the radio chip? I tried an older version and it asked me to plug my headphones in, lol. I assume for an antenna, but why can't that be overridden.?
Ultimately, I wish it were possible to use HD radio... My biggest complaint about the Radio is that it's so crappy.

Next radio uses FM radio hardware that is standard in many phones....radio hardware that is built into the SoC in phones and tablets...in Android head units the FM radio hardware is separate and is a proprietary solution.
I was looking for a different radio app, since the built-in one isn't very good and does not store stations persistently. I downloaded NextRadio, but when it loads it says "FM Radio is Unavailable...... NextRadio doesn't have access to the FM radio receiver in your device". How is it that the stock Radio app works but not this one? Anyone have a good radio app that uses the FM tuner? (Not internet radio). Thanks.

The radio chip in these units is not presented to the Android system. Instead the radio app sends commands to a dedicated radio module on the amplifier board. The same for the Bluetooth unit, as it's not actually part of the Android tablet.
These head units are two devices that work together. The Android part is basically a tablet that has dedicated apps to talk to the Radio part. The two parts work separate, and that's why all the FM radio apps and stuff are such garbage. They have to send commands to the actual FM module on the Radio board and get back a response about what is happening. In theory it would be possible to see what commands and data the FM radio app uses and write your own to send & receive the same data.

Is this separation of modules also related to why the EQ/Balance/Fade functionality does not work on this head unit? I noticed a few reports stating the same problem I'm having... where the faders have no effect whatsoever. No front/rear fade, no left/right pan, and no EQ change.

By the way, I discovered something today... I was playing music files from a USB drive and lo and behold, the EQ and Balance functionality worked. I started to think about why and I think it has to do with what you said. The reason it wasn't working for me initially is because I was trying to use it with the radio, and since u said the radio is outside of the android layer, that's probably why it wasn't working. But it looks like it DOES work with any audio that's within the Android layer.
Can confirm what @pizzaboy192 has posted. You will NOT be able to use any sound processing, not even to mute radio during navigation directions because of this funky implementation.
All you can do is root and then replace the radio apk with the macnaughty one that does save stations and (for me) has HD information.

BTW :you probably miss the HIFI flag in build.prop as in my case at least the built in equalizer and spatializer work with the radio app.. Viper4Android however, does not work, despite being complied in and having root access, simply because the audio path from the radio bypasses the OS.
Hi,
hello, i bought this radio from aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000620695689.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.421e4c4dx9cnJf / MT8227L 4-Core Android 10 2GB+32GB (Radio IC: ST7708, Amp IC: AC 7315, DSP normal)) but the concerns turned out:
1) First, the radio always turns on for a long time (as if the memory is cleared. While the radio channels are still there).
2) Searching for a gps signal takes a very long time.
3) The radio loses the signal in the meantime when the car is switched off.
4) There are very few options to configure. Even in menu 8888.
There is no help from the Chinese. As always Tried different cables, locations, etc.
Since I already had one experience with Chinese android software, it is clear that the error is in android software.
Although there was another android radio but with malaysk mod software all the troubles were solved.
Here is the Chinese android radio software: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z0UrWRHSb_ZCvt3YsDVytRMMHUutrVpT/view?usp=sharing
Can anyone help or provide better software or improve existing one?

From the few pictures you posted, I think your device is a FF-5500 right? If so, then it uses the same firmware as Junsun V1 and Hizpo ad907001
