2 questions new head unit install

Hi all-
at one time I was interested in converting a tablet into a head unit, but lacked the know-how so I finally just bought one from ali express and installed it; android 4.4 and I can't post links so you can
use the ali search and enter: 2 DIN Android 4.4 7 Inch Bluetooth Audio In Dash to find the specific unit that looks like

For the most part, it's great- but I have two questions that would make it even better
(1) I can play music and audiobooks (two different apps) over bluetooth, and the audio is perfect. When I get bluetooth calls though, it starts with a blast of static and then nothing- I assumed it was a mic or feedback problem, but I just played a voicemail recording from the phone AT&T "visual voicemail" app, and it did the same thing even though that is just playing a recording and shouldn't be using the mic at all. Does anyone know what if there is some other difference between 'audio out' apps that might cause some to work find, and others to have problems? There are rear ports for audio input, but I don't think those replace the mic, so for now I'm stuck with external troubleshooting (I'm not ready to take it apart and start doing surgery on the unit)
[EDIT: it also plays the audio from Google Maps with no problem]
(2) The unit has a very long splash screen- so long, that I can get out my 150' driveway and down the block before it goes away and allows BT to connect to play my audiobooks. I looked through the menus but haven't found a way to shorten that screen. I realize this may require rooting if it is not a publically available setting. Where should I be looking (or is it stored in a file somewhere?), and if rooting is required, how does a newbie like me figure out the best options for rooting, preferably leaving the rest of the OS as-is so I don't accidently jack up the reverse and forward camera functions, etc?
I'm not a frequenter of XDA, but this seems to be the most knowledgable place for this type of thing- so I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction
Many thanks!

Car Bluetooth connection not working

Hi there!
I have an HTC One M9+ and yes I apologize because I'm writing in the wrong section, this is the M9 section but the M9+ is not owned by many people also I think that I may have a software problem with Android. That said, I use to connect my HTC One M9+ to my car infotanment system which is the U-Connect of my Alfa Romeo Giulietta. It allow me to transfert calls on the car audio system, including the microphone. It has always worked good but starting from 2 weeks ago it start not working anymore, when I start a call it remain on the phone and it doesn't get transfert to the car audio system. As you can see, when this occur the Bluetooth option show this:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see the first option which mean litteraly "Phone Audio" it's not selected and cannot be selected.
If I reboot the phone it start working fine again but it's kind of boring have to reboot the phone every time. Do you have any suggestions?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Open "Airplane Mode", wait 5 secs , turn off airplane mode , and then turn on "Bluetooth" once more. Let it match again.
2. Settings -->Apps--> select "Show system" --> choose "Bluetooth Share" --> Storage --> Clear Data

I have tried to clear the memory but it doesn't work

Joying HU 2020

Just installed a Joying 7" HU to an Australian Hyundai i30:
Spec JY - UO128N4GSN 8-Core Intel Spreadtrum SC9853i 1.8GHZ
Operating System: Android 8.1 Oreo
GPU: Maili T820 MP2
So far I have been very pleased with the operation and appearance of this HU after owning a prev version 4 years ago.
I have one bug I don't seem to be able to get the better of. I hope someone on this forum may be able to help.
I got a USB front camera mounted beside the center mirror. The camera is a generic Chinese unit U2 with ADAS etc. from E bay. The camera came with "Traffic Safety Guard" pre loaded into it's RAM. I put a 16G card in the camera slot. The software installed into the HU OK.
The picture from the camera displayed on the HU is very good. If I start the program it records the video very well and tags it with date time etc.
Problem:
The HU will not auto load the camera software on restarting the car.
The HU auto starts all other programs I left running like Radio, GPS nav and all others like music player.
If I manually restart the "Traffic Safety Guard" app all is well until I restart the car. Then the HU drops the program again. - infuriating.
Joying offered NO help on my request, said it was normal.
I tried a few Auto Start Apps but they do not change the problem - it still wont restart the camera app automatically.
Any help would be great. Keep in mind I am not proficient at writing software I am an ex telephone tech so elec trickery is my thing.

Use FYTStarter from @bambapin
See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-ram-32gb-flash.3897206/page-58#post-80411035
You can sssign apps to be started on boot/resume from sleep.

That solution worked perfectly first time!!!
I now don't have to worry every time I start the car if I have turned the camera on.
Thank you for your help!
This forum and ones like it are one of the better things about the internet.
Thanks again.

Android Head unit won't keep position of audio tracks

Hi all
I seem to be having a bit of an issue with my Brosmartek android 11 head unit, even though it was bought from a UK seller I assume its basicly a chinese unit. I use musicolet or poweramp to play music files from the external USB but despite both apps being set to remember the position of audio tracks neither of them seem to do it. I tend to listen to audiobooks whilst driving so when i turn off the unit by taking out the keys the unit shuts down(assume it fully shuts down as does the full reboot when I put the keys back in), when I get back in and start the unit the track goes back to the beginning. I'm running car launcher pro or Agama as much prefer the interface than the stock launcher. The built in player in the unit does keep the track position but I cant set it as active player in car launcher pro.
I have both musicolet and power amp on my phone and it saves position ok even if turning off the phone and back on so I wonder if I have overlooked something in the settings.
On the car head unit I have tried pausing the track before taking the keys out but still doesn't work and power amp sometimes flashes up saying poeramp has detected it was killed while playing an active track with a go to setting button(android app settings) but it doesn't say what to change.
Can anyone please help? or point me in the direction of a player that will keep track position(a player that supports mp3, m4a and m4b files)

Well that problem has escalated, it now wont boot up, just been out to go to the shop and it just hangs on this screen, have tried restting using rst button, pressing and holding for a minute ect no joy, looks like I have a dud, its not even been in a week

Ottocast PICASOU 2 PRO Carplay AI Box Developer Password

I just got a Ottocast PICASOU 2 PRO Carplay AI Box for my car. There is an 1 - 2 second audio delay on anything that I stream through my car speakers. I am trying to get into developer mode to see if there are somethings that I can change to eliminate the sound lag. Does anyone know what the password is to get into developer mode / factory settings? Or does anyone else have any other ideas on how to sync video/sound. I have updated it to the latest firmware off the ottocast website and all the apps are up to date on the Google Play Store. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Developer mode is locked out. They will not supply a way in. the factory settings password is "126".

Type “adbdev” in password field.

alright......what most of us really want......go to play store and download LADB. instead of adbdev type adbwf. this turns on wifi debugger. then make sure you are connected to a wifi connection and open LADB. you now have shell.......adb away.

i like the way you filled us in on what youve learned so far. i just ordered my picasou 2 pro today so now im curious, did you ever fix that delay?? i just logged back into xda after quite some because this device has me curious.. do you have to turn your hotspot on each time in order to play videos or when it connects via bluetooth youre good to go.. your question brought me straight from google so im sure ill have the answer shortly cuz im gonna check out the forums but if youre bored and wanna talk about how you like the device so far id love to hear about it.. i was gonna get the streamtoyourcar 11 pro but decided on this bad boy last minute.. looking for an honest review from a fellow tech dude
