Joying Updated Bluetooth AVRCP (Track Info Now Passed via BT)

You may or may not know (I didn't) that a decent experience using Bluetooth Audio, requires both the broadcasting device and receiver support at least version 1.3 of AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile).
My Joying 5.1.1 unit shipped with a build cut mid-March, I believe it included version 1.1. This left me with Play/Pause/Skip control but no meta data passed from my phone to the Bluetooth app on the Joying.
Today I loaded an update from May 4th and was pleasantly surprised to find they bumped the profile up to at least 1.3.
For what its worth I've written them asking what profile they supported and have gotten nothing but useless nonsensical replies.

Sounds about right. Do you get audio to all 4 channels?

Indeed I do.

Good news, is the quality any better than it was previously?
Dave

Hi w0rdie where did you get the 4th may update?
There is only 30th april on Joying site.
Thanks

Mal posted it, not sure where he got it.

I tried to install the update, for some reason it's not working on my head unit, and it is the new 5.1.1 head unit.
I also lost sound the second day I had the unit. I think it was a software issue with some of the apps I downloaded. I set it back to factory settings and deleted all data, now when I hit the NAV button it takes me to google maps and not iGO or any other Navigation that I install. Tried changing default geo app, all that shows up is Maps. Can get answer from Joying on how to fix this...

Adding this because I had never heard of AVRCP, got this from wiki
AVRCP has several versions with significantly increasing functionality:
1.0 — Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc.)
1.3 — all of 1.0 plus metadata and media-player state support
The status of the music source (playing, stopped, etc.)
Metadata information on the track itself (artist, track name, etc.).
1.4 — all of 1.0 and 1.3 plus media browsing capabilities for multiple media players
Browsing and manipulation of multiple players
Browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list
Basic search capabilities
Support for Absolute volume
1.5 — all of 1.0, 1.3 and 1.4 plus specification corrections and clarifications to absolute volume control, browsing and other features
1.6 - all of 1.0, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 plus browsing data and track information[5]
Number of items that are in a folder without downloading the list
Support for transmitting cover arts through the BIP over OBEX protocol

My update path was the April build from joying's site, which I believe updated my MCU -- followed by the 54 build. I'd try that.

You will have to download a 3rd party app. On Google Play Store just search for "Screen Lock" and pick the best one.

Hi, you have posted "Edit" link to your video, it will not work for anyone but you. Correct link is:

Is it possible to get short video of how the spotify app looks/works on this unit.
I'm about to purchase a 1024x600 5.1.1 unit and I've been trying to find a video of someone using spotify at this resolution and it's next to impossible to find one.
thank you

Thank you very much for that, I've ordered my unit just then. I'm excited, my cell provider allows for unlimited Spotify/Pandora/Google play streaming so this will be perfect.

I have a different sized Joying, mine is for a Jeep, but it is Android 5.1, MTCD. Spotify works like a champ
Let's you save it SD
And using MTCDtools let's you use the steering wheel controls

Actually, you can set up a pattern, pin, or passcode without a third-party application. The lockscreen section is hidden from Settings, but if you go to the "More" section below WiFi and Bluetooth, then select "VPN", it will show a message saying that a lockscreen is required to set up a VPN. You will be prompted to create one and will be transferred to the hidden lockscreen section to set one up.
While you can access the lock screen settings, it does not enable the lock screen. My bad.

Chinese XHD-8000 Android 8.1 10.25“ Head Unit

Hello,
I need help with my system I bought in China.
The software it came with isn‘t nice at all. I can‘t change the background and the boot logo looks **** aswell.
After I bought it and looked for instructions to change this I found the system from „skandinav“.
My question is, can I change my system to the skandinav software? If not can I change the software to something else? That is a bit more personalized?
Mcu: Tsadi.190122
Modelname: XHD-8000
Android 8.1
Build-Number: android-truncat-m0-V1.1
Kernel-Version: 3.18.19
Thx for some information

Hi,
I've an XHD-8000 in my Audi Q5, can you tell me some "tweaks" that I can do?
Can you also tell me what is the code for unlock the "secret menu" in machine settings - version information ?
Thank you in advance

For me it was 8888.
Try one of these
1983
126
7890
123456
000000
8888
3368
3010
8520
44320

I have the same model in my Benz but I could not find the big hidden menu.
If you press Car Info and then press and hold the first row of settings (function selection) than after 5 seconds another 2 setting rows appear.
In the settings part -> software version and then on the small gear wheel I have to enter a code. For me it works with 12345678 but after entering this code the screen is black with a lot of Chinese letters...
For Bootanimation change the code 5678 worked for me.
If you have other experience or found other menus and feature or even better firmware etc. please post it here!
Thanks
Daniel

I would love some help. My system keeps crashing. I have reset it to factory settings and deleted all content multiple times, just to set it up again with fewer and fewer apps. Now down to Navigation (Sygic) and a screen dimming app (Lux). It still crashes on a regular basis, especially when it's trying to display the original MMI info screen. And like everyone else I'd love a better (stable running) ROM.

Please by mistake install wrong rom. Now it is hard brick, usb cable does not work, sd card does not work and screen does not start or show logo. Please help, what to do?

Headunit opens recent apps instead of launcher when i start the car, why?

Hi there, so, I have this annoying problem i've been trying to solve for few days now with no luck, hoping someone here got some ideas what could be wrong
the headunit is cheapo chinese seicane H521K model number 8227L_demo running android 8.1
everything stock except launcher, i have tried few launchers like car launcher free, nova launcher carwebguru etc and now fcc launcher(this one imma gonna keep, got the paid version and i like it), same problem with any launcher except the stock launcher that i dont like too much
so when i start the car, or turn key to 1 position and the unit wakes from sleep/hibernate/whatever state that thing is in, it shows me recent apps screen instead of launcher homescreen and i have no idea why
i have set fcc launcher as default from android settings and launcher settings
so far i have tried factory reset and install nothing but the launcher, tried reboot from factory settings menu, tried completely powering off by disconnecting battery and rebooting
disconnecting battery or rebooting from menu always boots to the launcher home screen as supposed to, the first time, but simply turning the car key to off/on greets me with recent apps screen instead of homescreen so i guess sleep/waking up from sleep is messing something up
below is picture of the screen i'm talking about
any suggestions are welcome as i'm losing hope with this thing, been googling and trying different things for few days now with no luck

Pretty sure I just fitted the same HU in my car yesterday and I've noticed it doing this a couple times. Interested to see if this is a simple fix or something more in depth. I'm using AGAMA launcher btw.

I don't own one of those HU but on mine there's a toggle in the factory settings menu to restore previous state on restart. I have no idea how it would be worded on your unit or if it would even have it but it worth checking.

I have the same issue. Have you found a solution for this problem?

I had a similar issue. I noticed that it was happening once I connect to wifi. Thankfuly, the dealer has replaced the unit with another one (different firmware version). So it seems more a software issue.

Easy fix:
Start the car,after HU displays recent apps,don't go for close all button,close every app manually,by sliding or pressing the x btn for every app singly,go To factory setting,and choose reboot.

This will give you one clean start...the minute you run any apps after that you're back to square one.

Hello,
same problem with my Witson PX5 Android 9. Sometimes it opens recent apps instead of the launcher.
Any ideas?

Having this same issue very annoying.

No fix for this yet?

It's very moody...sometimes it goes straight to radio, sometimes to Agama(my launcher).
I tried putting Agama in the Auto launch section of factory settings, but that only works after a reboot, not hibernation.
I also tried to launch things from Agama, but of course that assumes Agama is running - which I find not to be the case every time.
I think it boils down to Android killing the background apps when going into hibernation despite have power to RAM and MCU.

Lol close every app individually instead of close all then reboot ..

Did you not read that this only works ONCE....you suggesting someone to do this EVERY day.

Do you have fix for that? I have the same problem with Junsun V3 pro and its very annoying with own launcher :C

I have same problem with Agama. Any suggestions? Has anyone tried the Automate app to overcome the problem?

Thanks, I can't find that option but will continue to look for it.

To have Agama start after both Reboot or a normal startup, you need to tick the small box at the bottom of the 'Autostart' screen in Agama

Agama car launcher

What is going on with The Agama Car Launcher? Trial was working great. Decided to go ahead and buy it. Next day. It just crashes. Try settings, just reloads. Try apps, reloads, cant long press anything. VERY disappointed.

What did the developer support suggest?

I reloaded this onto my wife's PX5 unit the other week after a hard reset and it's working fine on hers. Perhaps you have installed something causing it to crash. Is stock launcher working ok?

Sent 3 messages to developer. No reply. Stock launcher working fine. All the other apps and features working fine.

Maybe you find some infos here?

How do you set the weather location? And the music player button is bugged. I have it set to PowerAmp, but when I tap the button nothing happens. I have to first load PowerAmp, then hit the Home key for it to work.

Volume on launch screen
Hi Folks,
I have a Dasaita Max6 (MTCE-HA V3 40.1) and installed Agama launcher and Poweramp music player. This is in my car and not on a smart phone.
The launcher has pause ,play etc on the middle bottom and volume up and down in the middle close to the top of the front screen. i'd love to use the front screen volume to control volume when [Poweramp runs in the background.
i don't quite understand this paragraph in the manual;
Note: AGAMA can only adjust Android system volume. Unfortunately, many head units have their own external amplifier, the volume of which is not connected with Android and is regulated only through the MCU (handles or buttons on the device itself). In this case, AGAMA cannot control the volume of the MCU and control will only be possible in the ways provided by the device manufacturers.​
Am I going to be able to use the front screen vol to control Poweramp ?

I buyed AGAMA Car Launcher. After that on each start I have "Security Warning" announcement and I must click OK to disable it. There is no on trial version. How to disable Security Warning message displayed every start? This is very annoying. I send email to support but there is no reply.

lehetséges, hogy a fejegység elindítása után, az android betöltése után az agama jelszót kér?

ez a jelenség

wow I haven't heard from this thread in a long time, and when I come back the whole site looks different and the few posts above mine are in some alien language. a lot has changed around here.

I have recently purchased and installed the Agama Car Launcher which I am loving.
I just have one issue with the program and seeking some advice.
I have a Kayhan Audio System which is running Android 8.1 and when I'm running the generic Home Screen and use the Bluetooth App, this is the screen I get.

But when I set Agama as the default Home Screen and press the Phone icon or the Bluetooth App in the Apps section, I am only getting part of the screen as shown below.
Is there any settings I can change so I am getting the full screen as I would be getting if I was to use the generic launcher? As it’s now completely useless, as I can’t access my contacts, can’t dial phone numbers and can’t access the Bluetooth settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI,
I wonder if anyone can help.
I have set up the launcher and assigned various apps to the buttons.
Problem is, all the apps reload every time I am switching between them?
Is that right? - is there no way to go from ,say, my music tracks, to ( for example ) the radio app without the radio app having to reload all the stations again!
Seems a bit mad.
I hope I am wrong, and hope that someone can enlighten me
Many Thanks

Install app QuickShortcutMaker and check the activities of the BT app. Maybe there are different activities for different screen resolutions.

You tested another launcher just to verify Agama is the problem? On some head units duraspeed is running.
