Hi all,
I upgraded to an O2 Exec a little over a week ago from a Blue Angel.
Initially I had a few concerns about it, but thankfully I found this forum, and have managed to get a number of enhancements, from increased storage and better radio (v1.09) to being able to turn on the flash light using a hardware button. My Exec is now running faster than my Blue Angel ever did, and hasn't frozen once. I've already become quite attached to it.
One thing that I think would be useful would be to have the unit turn on when the lid is opened, and off when it is closed. In the Power settings you can uncheck the box that turns off the device if it is not used for x mins, which has the effect that the screen will come on whenever the lid is opened. However, because the device is still running the battery still takes quite a hit even though the screen is turned off, and even when you lower the cpu speed.
Is it possible to turn the device on and off by opening and closing the lid?
Cheers
Rowan

Hi, I have mine set to come on and off when you open close the lid, and it's set exactly how you have said. Power settings, and stop the device going off. And Backlight settings, stop the backlight dimming, and lower the backlight when on battery mode.
There is no "off" mode like Nokia handsets, only Standby, which is what happens when the screen is closed. (I think).

You're not really going into standby mode by closing the case, try switching on wifi or bluetooth and look at the flashing indicator LED, it will still be going whien the case is closed. Nowtap the power button to put the device into standby, no more flashing LED. The phone LED still flashes which is a good thing otherwise you wouldn't be able to recieve calls in standby.

From what I know, the Universal has no real OFF mode, only standby, EVEN WHEN YOU PRESS THE POWER BUTTON. On mine, BT and WiFi still flashes even when I press the power button or just close the screen.
Pressing and holding the power button turns the backlight off, a quick press (or tap as I said before) makes it go to standby and should turn off everything but the phone part.
Okay well weve taken a really fun detour discussing the technicalities of standby and 'power off' but lets digress for a moment back to the original topic...
Rabangus, seems the best option you have is what you were doing. The hit to battery shouldnt be that large. I gave it a try not too long ago the way you and the other member had it set up again, and yes youll definitely have to charge it every night but it was doable. But I wasnt using wifi or bluetooth either. I am surprised that using Xscaler it still takes way to much battery. I assume thats what you are using to lower the CPU.
Oh well unfortuntely thats the way it is chief.
Hi all
i just installed this HU, but we usually have two positive wiring, if i use the correct one in the car, my HU lost memory ex: clock time
if i invert the orange and red wire, i have the clock always correct but the touch lights wont turn off.
any ideas?
might be that the constant 12V is connected to the light sense wire..
if you take out your key, does the unit shut down?
I think it just sleep because when I turn the key on, the Hu just light up the screen and don't turn in on car logo
I have the above unit and for the first week it worked properly. Dimmed when lights on, undimmed when lights off.
Now I have an issue where when I start the car(lights off) the screen is always dim. I have to turn on and off the lights to get it back bright or I have to manually press the Dim/Brighten button on AGAMA Car Launcher.
I removed AGAMA launcher to see if that was it, I factory reset in the menu option and I also did a pin reset on the face of the unit. It's still the same way ...
Any ideas?
Solution. I had the touch button lights set to always on. Turning that off fixed it. Bug in firmware probably. Got the info from 4PDA.
I have an Xtrons PX5 that was already installed in my vehicle when I bought it. Something strange is happening with the volume...
The volume slider in Android keeps resetting to 12 every time the unit is powered off and back on. I like to keep this higher (around 20 to 30) as it gives a higher level to my OEM head unit aux input.
It's kinda annoying that I have to increase the volume slider every time the vehicle is switched on. Any ideas on why this is happening?
Have also tried setting the volume in Settings -> volume but still it resets back to 12 every time.
I have the same issue, it's really annoying!
What does reseller suggest when contacted for support

Garry after having a good poke about I have fixed it. You need to set your default boot volume to 30, this is done by accessing the factory settings menu within the unit, then the setting is under the "Other" tab at the top right. you can also change the boot logo there also. see attached. PM me if you get stuck, I used the passcode of 126 to access this menu.
Hello everyone,
I have the following chinese head unit. When I switch the ignition off, it only closes the screen but the head unit itself keeps operating.
It keeps paired with my bluetooth and hotspot. Doesn't shutdown.
I tried to install an application for shutdown and when I use it is shuts the unit down and then reboot it..
I tried to enter the factory settings and switch it to direct shutdown but no use. I also tried to enter from the factory settings (Engineering debugging menu) and switch it to user settings but still no use.
Can anyone help how to shutdown this head unit?? It keeps draining my battery as it when I tried to measure the parasite load when it is running but screen shutdown and it was 0.6 Amps. which is a lot...
My last resort is to make an external power switch to it.. which I really don't like but what can I do...
Waiting for your feedback as you might help me with it!
Thanks in advance.
Mine has a connector for demo mode that I had to unplug so the head unit will turn off when the switch is off
So you have to physically pull out a connector for it to power off...
But in this case it won't shut down... you will just cut the power off it. Isn't that harmful to the unit hardware and software?
There are two reasons why unit is not to shuting down...
First - in "settings" or "infotainment" area find UNIT TIMEOUT / SHUTDOWN SETTING , must be at value "0 min" instead of max min.
Second - Red wire (ACC+ KEY) from cable harness is connected to 12V battery constant (usually it is yellow wire), switch those and see if helps. Key for ignition must turn unit off when shuts down engine.

I already connected the Acc wire to the Acc, that's why when I switch the engine off and remove my key the unit only closes the screen but it doesn't shutdown.
For the Unit timeout option, or shutdown option, I can't find it on my unit OS... tried the search function and tried going through each and every bailable list and choice but didn't find it!!!!!!!!!
Connect both ACC and +12V wires from HU to car ACC. This way, when ignition is off HU power is off.

Don't think that's a good idea. Because this will interrupt power supply completely when you turn off ignition. This way the head unit has no chance to shutdown or switch into sleep mode. It's like removing the battery from your laptop.

I don't know your head unit but there may be an ACC delay option.
Some head units allows to set up a waiting time up to 60 minutes before shutdown/sleep.

There is an option for that just need to find it, if not in settings or in infotainment area try in factory settings
Okay as an update for the situation,
I couldn't find an option for it, however, I installed an APK file for shutdown and restart.
In addition I rewired it so that the main +12V wire to an (on/off) switch, when I want to shut it down, I just use the APK I installed, wait until it shuts down, when it tries to restart again I use the On/Off switch to permanently power it off....

Ok , but there is no need for application, on factory settings when you type in PIN codes just enter PIN 1414 and device will shut down, that is code for my device.

Really?? didn't know that.. I will try it and let you know the result.
Thanks a lot
Did you find a solution for this issue? My head unit stays in sleep mode forever and does not turn off, although I have set the sleep delay in factory settings correctly.

What is wrong with sleep? Answer: Nothing!

Sleep delay? Are you talking about ACC delay?
Nothing is forever but how long is your forever? Usually the head units stay in sleep mode for around three days before shutdown.

Yes ACC delay. The delay is configurable. I have set it to 10 - there is no unit, but the unit does not turn off after 10 (seconds|minutes|hours). As maximum is 3600, I presume the unit is not days.

ACC delay means: how long to wait before entering sleep mode after ignition is off. This has nothing to do with the sleep duration. I don't know any head unit which allows to configure sleep duration.
[ign off] --> [ACC delay] --> [start to sleep]
