Hi guys, first time here as have searched and found no joy to this problem.
My son has an Xtrons PF71OLOS-S fitted to his Vauxhall Astra.
It has been magnificent for last two years and now developed an intermittent fault where the touch screen will freeze and then after perhaps a day become active again.
I contacted xtron support who tell me as we bought it from ebay there is only a years warranty!
Does anyone know of a fix for this or how to reset the unit to sort it?
I bought the unit for him mainly for the blue tooth phone system and it renders it useless when it freezes.
Thanks in advance for any replies and solutions.

Hi all,
I recently bought an Erisin 6046B HU with android 6.01 for my bmw e46. But the display has a distinct line exactly down the centre. See photos:

I remember having the same problem with my Oneplus One once, and if my memory serves me correctly it was not a hardware problem. Anyone know how to fix it?
I'm emailing the manufacturers too.
Thanks
I bought a 2nd hand car a month ago and it had one of these in it installed by the previous owner about 6 months previously.
I'm new so can't post a URL - search for Seicane s085996
It worked for us for about 3 days and then stopped booting up. The after sales support is shocking, they provide no assistance and don't respond to emails. The online documents are generic to cover all the different models they sell.
The crazy thing is this model has no reset control. Most of these types of devices have a pin hole to perform a hard restet. This model has nothing.
I've looked for help across the web to no avail and plenty people complaining about the lack of support.
Anyone got one of these and know how to reset it?
had my joying sofia for a couple of years now and it has started playing up in the last couple of months
first problem was the screen becoming non responsive, fixed by following the soldering video
second problem was the gps fix getting REALLY screwed up when using any sat nav app, I put it down to overheating issues so had to switch the unit off and use my phone instead. not ideal
most recent issue has started over last 10 days or so - when the car is switched off and the keys removed the unit display stays on for approx 5 - 10 mins. It has no response and cannot be used, no presses do anything and there is no sound but the display is still "live"
I must admit i'm not impressed with the joying but it seems to be the best of a bad bunch where android head units are concerned as it has the greater community support
can anybody help?
Firstly, which Intel Sofia model & software version is it ?
Have you fitted larger heatsinks & fan for the main processing module ? This is especially important where the unit is mounted directly in front of the car heater.
For the shutdown, re-check the Joying sleep mode settings.
I had a Joying Sofia unit in my car till a few days ago. It started to slowly die after doing quite fine for over 2 years. Before it really gets on my nerves, I took it out and replaced it temporarily with a Coika PX5 unit. Seems that yours also slowly wants to make itself redundant...
It is absolutely normal that the unit remains on for another 5 minutes after removing the key. Yes, there is no audio output, and the screen cannot be touched. But one can fully use the unit from remote, e.g. via TeamViewer. This is how I noticed.
What it usually does however: turn off the display so the user does not see the Android screen anymore. This is no more working with your unit.
I do not know a specific solution for your problem.
I would try reflashing the unit, both MCU and Android. You will end up with a fresh unit however, because all of the Joying sw updates always wiped away all user data.

to clarify -
my unit is the JY-UL124N, purchased from german warehouse 14/03/17
for the last 2 years my joying has "gone to sleep" on the immediate removal of the keys, not only in my current vehicle but also in my previous one so I do not believe it has anything to do with sleep settings. The same problem occurs when I choose "switch off" from the pulldown menu
I do not intend to try and fit heatsinks/fans - I am of the opinion that should this unit need them then surely joying should have fitted them in the first place?
I do not believe it is "absolutely normal" for the display to stay on for 5 - 10 minutes when the keys are removed/switch off is chosen, it has never done it in 2 years of ownership, has only started to do it within the last 10 days and does not do it every time
I have reflashed the unit several times, both MCU and android. same problem
to be quite honest, this unit has never really done it for me anyway - after having read the countless problems other users have suffered/endured over the last couple of years I suppose I should count myself lucky that my unit has been relatively trouble free and the problems have only recently started to manifest themselves. In my own personal opinion joying have foisted a substandard unit on the public and then sat back while we all became unpaid beta testers for them - look at all the hard work surfer63 and others have done? for free as well I might add. I should have kept my parrot asteroid smart as it was a superb unit but then parrot dropped support for it and its apps with no prior warning hence my move across to joying
I cannot put up with this thing anymore, I have never liked the music player and radio tuner interfaces anyway - they are far too "busy" and distracting. The FM tuner does not work properly. The sound is poor. The bluetooth handsfree is terrible in that people cannot hear me properly during a phone conversation. The unit is and always has been incredibly slow and laggy. The music player has a really irritating problem in that it will always play the next track alphabetically, NOT the next track of the album I am listening to. The music player also cuts off the first second or two of every track it plays.
Please everybody be aware that I do not intend to turn this into a thread knocking joying, I am just voicing my opinion that after 2 years of ownership I have not been impressed with this thing so to that end this afternoon I bought a new alpine iLX-702D. I have had many alpine units in the past and know them to be quality reliable units. And the FM tuner RDS/AF will work, properly
Hi Everone,
I bought TS10 head Unit from a dealer and was everything perfect and smooth, but after 1 month the head unit started to go crazy by opening apps by itself
like the below video, I returned to the dealer again and managed to replace the unit with a new one, but again after like 2 weeks the head unit starts again crazy
please I need your help figuring out what's going on, PS the dealer says that may be the problem with the wiring (is that possible ?)

hi Wissam.pcld, I have a TS10 head unit similar to yours and I have your identical problem with the touch screen going crazy, watching your video it seems to see my screen, I tried to format and reinstall an old firmware but I failed to solve ... did you find any solution?
I have a similar issue with a similar head unit. It's random and intermittent, working OK most of the time, but every once and then goes crazy like that. Have you been able to solve it? Thanks for any advice.
Just as reference, I'm based in Argentina and the Android head unit is branded "Wis Huan", probably a chinese whitebrand.
