Xtrons Android 8.0 BMW E90 Headunit - Not keeping time! - Android Head-Units

Hello all.
I have installed a new Android 8.0 E90 specific headunit and it is fantastic. All is working fine, all the radio presets and settings are being held so I know the memory wiring is correct. However, my one and only issue is that the time is not correct each time I switch the engine on! I have tried amending all the settings under the sun and nothing seems to work and is really frustrating me now. It doesn't make a difference whether I have GPS auto update on or off. Basically, if I set the time, switch engine off say, for an hour and then return to my car, the time will be an hour behind so it basically doesn't update as soon as it is switched off. I have even waited to see if there is a delay in the update but I have waited the whole length of any journey and it doesn't...
Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

In Gps settings set time adjust fronte satellite.
When you restare the car the time must sincronize in less than a minute.

Hi, I have it already set so the time automatically updates with GPS. But it doesn't when I restart the car.

You timezone might be wrong.

Nope, timezone is correct (London GMT).
The most confusing thing is I have checked all of these options. I have even tried switched all the auto updates off and set the time manually. It still doesn't keep time! Most frustrating.

Have you tested out the bluetooth functionality related to phone calls? On my previous Xtrons unit, the person on the other end of the line always heard themselves echo and it was a show stopper for me. If this is not a problem with the new unit, I would pick one up.

Bump, Also have this problem with my e82 headunit by isudar

Wow I completely forgot to update this haha! Well, the solution for me was to set the ACC OFF time to 30 seconds. So basically, it has to do a reboot everytime I sit in the car. Not a big issue as it only takes 30 seconds. The time is always right then.
However, the bluetooth and wifi has stopped working on this unit. First the wifi just doesn't switch on, then, more recently the bluetooth kept disconnecting and now doesn't function whatsoever. Might just go down the route of a new headunit tbh.

Screen dims, but never shuts off

I just noticed this morning that when I hit the power button the screen only dims now. I swear it used to shut off the display completely before today, and I know for certain that is how it worked on 1.6. This really is annoying, because now when I put it in my pocket the 3 buttons are constantly being depresses and they vibrate, which lights the display again. That coupled with this stupid lock screen that I have to try to open 3-4 times is really making me angry. Maybe it's just me thugh.....
I'm assuming you upgraded to 2.1?
I remember reading somewhere that someone had a similar issue after upgrading to 2.1 but then they re flashed 2.1 a different way and problem went away.
Same issue here, it really eats up my battery life, and I do end up pushing those soft keys all-too often... I am on 2.1 and that is definitely when the problem started, I'm going to try reflashing to see if I can eliminate the issue.
try the steps found here on streaksmart.com. She reports that she has no issues when its done that way. I don't have my streak yet but will follow these steps when i get it.
I had a similar problem before, only the screen would go off and on again and stay on!
Turns out it was an APP that done this.
It is possible an app is causing the problem.

I've been experimenting with what's been causing this on mine, and I noticed that sometimes wifi will not shut all the way off. It hangs at "Turning off..."
So I tried not letting it sleep with wifi on, I turn it on if I need it, then turn it off (really a big pain in the butt) but went two days with no "no sleep" problems.
Today I tried leaving wifi on all the time, not two hours later it happened.
Since it's not happening to everybody, I wonder if it has something to do with our wifi setups. Maybe the router brand, or the encryption type, or something?
Last night I powered off the phone before better. I have wifi on all the time and I never shut it off. Today though, I have had no issues with the sleep function. It's still mid afternoon so we'll see if it continues this way. If so I will explore the wifi solution as well.
I was having this problem and somehow this setting was wrong:
SETTINGS>>APPLICATIONS>>DEVELOPMENT>>STAY AWAKE
mine was checked and we all know what that mean. Check yours to be sure if your not up for flashing again. Just a thought in case you overlooked this...

Yes, it means the screen will not time out and go off when it's being charged, but you can still turn it off, and mine wasn't plugged in when I couldn't turn it off.
I don't think this is related to what I've been seeing, but thanks.
It seems that Bluetooth did it today. I was fine all day going black on sleep with power button, but once I switched on wireless to connect to my car stereo it never went off again. Even if I turn off the wireless I have to shut down and reboot.

Same here. Started car and it showed zero signal strength for the phone on the dashboard display. Pressed the power button on the Dell Streak and the car display then displayed the signal strength. From then on, the screen would dim but not shut off.

Was your wifi also enabled (even if not connected to any AP's) when this happened?

Yes, and I couldn't turn it off once the "screen dim bug" took hold. Today I've rebooted and left Bluetooth OFF and Wireless ON and have not had an issue all day long, and that's making calls, using 3G, wireless and running a pile of apps. I think I can live with no Bluetooth until the next release.
Pete
I don't think it's BT. I think it's wifi not recovering properly from sleep mode.

Fair call. However, I've now had BT off for 6 hours and I'm using 3G, wireless and USB transfers and it hasn't hiccuped yet. This is the longest I've had with no screen dim bug.
I did notice that when I walked out to the car, the Streak could still "see" my home wireless network, then starting the car and the BT pairing and connecting is when the screen dim bug came back.
Maybe it's when both are run at the same time and both are connected/paired?

I agree its looks like its a wifi issue. I always keep my bluetooth off and it still did it.
I got mine fixed... but the problem is i did a bunch of steps and now cant figure out which one actually fixed it. its been running great for 12hrs now.
What I did, since I noticed that wifi sometimes didn't sleep or wake itself up properly all the time (which i think is what's affecting our Streak sleeping), was turn off the wifi sleep. In other words when my device shuts off wifi stays active.
However, I then used "Tasker" from the Market and setup two profiles. When the screen goes off it shuts off 3G, wifi and autosync. Then when the screen comes on it turns on 3g/wifi, waits 20 secs and enables autosync (which then initiates a mail/calendar/contacts sync).
This has worked perfectly, and I get mad good battery life to boot. Now this means I don't get mail/updates (facebook, weather, etc - still get calls and txts obviously) but for me it's not a big deal especially for the battery life.
I may eventually setup more Tasker events to duplicate "Juice Defender" and poll every half hour (3G only, when screen is off only) to get my updates, but for now it's been working great.
I also setup profiles so if I'm not where I have wifi pairings it shuts down wifi. Also if it detects I'm connected via wifi (at home for instance) it disables my lock screen. I also have it set to only start GPS for apps that need it (Maps, Navigation, Places, etc) and that helps save battery too.
Tasker is an awesome app for $3.99. It has a steep learning curve, but there are enough walk-throughs available to teach you how to do the basics.

Found the fix on Modaco. Have a look at the last page of the thread called "2.1 Bugs ....., Add what you find please....."
I never knew there was an "Advanced" menu for WiFi!
yeah that is not it. I also have mine set to never time out so does that mean it will never shut off either? Anyway, it keeps happening through the day. Wifi and bluetooth do seem to have something to do with it, but I need them both on all the time so the only thing I can do is reboot. Then it is good for a couple hours. Are the any apps that have a reboot? That's one thing I miss on the iPhone.

[HELP] Joying Unit keeps rebooting

Joying PX5 unit running 8.0.0 Oreo. I had a problem where the thing was corrupted so I had to select the factory reset option. It’s back but now it will randomly just shut off and reboot again.
Bloody hell this head unit... was joying a bad choice after all? In my honest opinion it’s been sad so far. First it comes with a sticky button so they send me a new panel with TWO sticky buttons, then I find I can’t save a new home launcher without it ressettting each time I restart the device, the wifi speed and range are ridiculously bad, I can’t root it, the thing randomly corrupts itself and now it keeps shutting off and rebooting

Hello. I experience the same problems with Oreo PX5. It randomly shuts down and goes into a continuous boot loop. At first I thought it was the launcher but it continue to happen after I install FCC launcher. Then I realized that my hotspot will say 2 or more devices connected when I knew it was ONLY the head unit connected. I believe its the WiFi that randomly crashes. So what I do I turn off WiFi and Bluetooth otherwise it goes in a boot loop. Hope this helps.
I've got something similar. Android radio - not sure about the make and who and how jalilbroke it....i know that the sortware is:
Android version 4.4.2
MCU version 5.3.19-98-10-E56201-160826
System version 4.5.9_20160322
So I belive its a radio from 2016.
Radio keeps going to a auto reboot loop after I connect it to WiFi hotspot.
I've noticed that when I have a WiFi that doesn't have Internet access - it's fine.
If I'm connected to WiFi that has Internet access but I change the date to anything before current date, radio stays on, but then I cannot access Internet (play store, Google, chrome, maps, anything really as it says that there is a connection error).
Apart from that it always keeps restartong after about a minute or two.
This really anoys me and I've spent few days to try to figure it out.
For some reasons I think that this may have something to do with Bluetooth and WiFi being on at the same time as I couldn't find and option to switch Bluetooth off....
Please help.

February update is out

Seems that we may have that memory leak solved
Yes, must have bug fix as 330Mb download. Updated, all good (no mods)
Is the haptic feedback on opening recents menu new? Or just stronger than before?
Is there a setting I'm not seeing to change it?

Anyone else's Bluetooth totally screwed up after update? After update, Bluetooth turns on by itself, won't add new devices, and won't auto connect to devices?

Mine has been pretty flaky as well. It seems to connect most of the time, but if I call with my android auto head unit, even though it says it's using bluetooth, the sound still comes out of the speakers. Sometimes a toggle of the bluetooth switch fixes it, sometimes it needs a reboot. I may factory reset and see if it clears up.

I don't have problem with the Bluetooth.
Using my Sony ch700n without a problem..
Mmm... I'll be waiting for more feedback before applying the update. Hope it's just specific issue with device because I use BT every day...
Still haven't been able to fix Bluetooth issues. First I reset all the network settings. Not fixed. Then I factory reset without restore. No fix. Finally factory reset with restore. No fix. Contacted support last night with no answer yet. Will have to resort to back up phone until there is a solution.

Nope, all good here. How did you take the update, ota or fastboot?
At this point my Bluetooth is behaving normally. All though I never have had any of the previous Bluetooth or wifi issues people have posted about. Totally stock locked bootloader with February update.
As of this Monday Miracast on my PH-1 is totally flakey. Since it uses Bluetooth I guess this is part of the update bug. The problem I'm getting is casting crapping out, for no reason, rotating the phone, or just launching the app that I want to cast. Any possible fixes?

I can't get my PH1 to connect via BT to my Pioneer A.A H/U at all...... not sure what the issue is.
I factory reset and still having issues as well, I'm completely stock with locked bootloader. Only real Bluetooth issue I have is phone calls going through my phone speakers even though it says it's using Bluetooth, audio for music and podcasts is fine. Very strange

I used AA this morning in wifes car, music was playing, made a phone call & it used car speakers as normal & then went back to music when call ended, so seems OK with Hyundai HU.

I'm kind of wondering if it has something to do with my Wear OS watch being connected. May have to disable it for a day and see if it makes a difference. Worked perfectly before the update though.
Edit: I played a little. If I turn off Bluetooth on my watch, then pair with my Bluetooth headphones calls work normally, if I connect to the buds while connected to the watch, no-go. Very odd as well is that the watch won't connect then while connected to the buds, once I disconnect them, it connects fine. I'll try with my truck at lunch and see if I can repeat this there.
mine seems do not have the Bluetooth issue.
new update seem to be more aggressive on turning off nfc . in the past, i do not have to wake on phone to 'tap' (as a smart card) on chargepoint ev charger. now i have to at least wake up phone to do so.
i noticed on essential website. the OTA file for February is only Open Market. the others have said Alll. Whats the difference anyone know.
After I have installing the update patch, the usage of battery is a bit faster than before. The sot drop from 4 hours to 2 and a half hours. Is there getting The same issue?

Joying Sofia 3gr GTX mod date problem

Hi,
I have a problem recently with my head unit(stated above) after coming from reboot or sleep, the date tends to resent to 2007 and needs to be changed again on the settings. I already set it to automatic but still the same. Any suggestions or solutions about this? thank you.

In the Settings set time/date settings first to manual and set it to the correct date/time. Then enable the automatc options again (and make sure you are connected to the internet) and let it synchronize.
It should be OK then.
Check after reboot/deep sleep. If not, it might be an issue with your unit.

I have been doing this but still the same issue, it still resets to a random date. Aside from that, the HU works perfectly fine. It's just annoying to set it every time I drive because the apps won't work if the date resets. I'm still hoping there's a fix on this.

How to get apps to Auto Re-Start

Ok, so I am sure someone has already answered this question but right now I can't find it. I'd like to know how to set the launcher so it can remember the last app that was playing before shutting down.
For example, I may be listening to a sat radio channel when I stop for gas. 10 minutes later I am back in the car and start, yet FCC doesn't launch the sat radio app, even though I have tried setting this feature in "AUTOSTART".
Is there anyone here who can help with this. ? There's also a feature under "SOUND" that is supposed to restart whetver audio you were listening to before the last shut down. This doesn't seem to work for me, either.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Depending on your head unit you need to play around with the timing in Fcc.
Wait before Autostart --> try first 30 sec and reduce the time until the autostart does not work anymore. Then just go back to the working timing.
