My android head unit closes all the open apps when I turn off the ignition ( even for one second). Whether I'm using the navigation or watching YouTube, if I shut off the car and back on, all the opened apps close and I have to redo everything all over again. I've heard about some apps captures the status of the unit right before closing, and once you start the car again, everything is back to the previous status, is that real ? Also some head units have an option in the developer options to enable quick boot or fast boot, but I don't have it in my head unit, is there a way to enable that option? Is there a "hibernate mode" for Android like the one in windows? Any ideas are very appreciated. Thanks in advance
Hello friend, I have the same problem as you. Did you get a solution? Thanks

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.
Hi all,
Long story short, I messed up my headunit by fiddling with some settings. I selected Spotify to be a navigation app accidentally and now the system changed the Spotify sound behaviour to work only on the navigation-volume channel. As this is inconvenient when using navigation software next to spotify, it also changes the system (overall) volume when spotify is not active. It's just messed up.
So, I truly hope that I someone can help me, or show me how to reset the spotify audio settings back to default. I already tried:
- Uninstalling Spotify and reinstalling.
- Going through all the settings everywhere, there is nothing I can change it with.
- Reset (apparently this only resets some CAR menu settings and app shortcuts on the homescreen but it doesn't really reset to factory default.
As an alternative, how can I reset to factory default? I tried to find it but I can't, looked everywhere even in the secret system menu.
Tried to reset it with the reset button on the front panel but this only seems to reboot the device.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I can't really speak to your problem but a word of caution, I just did the factory restore on my head unit and now the navigation that came with it is gone. Which is why I just registered to see if smarter folks than me can help me figure out how to get it back among some other issues.
Thanks for your note Hicksvilleshick, I send you a private message. I don't mind losing the 'default' navigation as I replace it with a different one. I hope someone can help me with this issue
Solution:
For those headunits without any apparent reset to factory default options in the menu here is the solution.
In my Hizpo Android 8.1 unit I could only reset settings in the 'Car info' menu, this resulted in resetting the car info menu and it's home screen items to default. It did not clear any other settings like wifi, bluetooth or other systeem deep settings. In my case it was not sufficient.
Also the reset button in the SD card slot did not seem to do anything initially when pressing this short or long or with other buttons combined.
Word of caution:
- Assume all data on the device gets wiped. Back-up important stuff.
- Remove de SD card for safety and otherwise the reset might hang on that.
- If it comes delivered with nav software, assume you will lose this install / application. There are other fine free alternatives (that are probably better too) like Navmii, Here (we go), both with offline map support (after downloading) or Waze, Google Maps with online map support.
- After the factory reset all settings, accounts and stuff have to be redownloaded, geconfigured and resetup.
And now the instructions:
- Remove SD card. (Otherwise the reset hangs on the card)
- Press RST button shortly with a paperclip for instance (Behind SD card slot cover in my case).
- Keep tapping the screen with 5 fingers. In the upperleft corner in small text you can see the status.
- It will eventually switch to a sort of round halo with the text; 'resetting'
- After a longer boot it will come back as a factory fresh device.
Hope that helps anyone.
Cheers!
Hi,
Just got an Android Head unit. All was working well until I installed Bit Defender. I stupidly tried the anti theft function (Which sets a "one time" pin on the device).
Problem is I now need to enter a pin every time i start the car. Its some how turned on the android lock screen and I cant see how to remove it.
Any ideas? I >think< this is the standard android lock screen rather than something bit defender specific. Uninstalling Bit defender does not remove it.
Tried contacting the seller who advised not to perform a factory reset. Looking at other posts it seems others have performed factory resets... What (Apart from normal apps etc) will i have to set up again if i do so?
Thanks very very much for any advice. This is driving me crazy.
I also had the problem once and i had to do a factory reset. But if you use titanium backup it´s not so bad.
Screen lock Allwinner QUAD CORE T3
I did the same exact thing using Find My Device, thinking that the password is not changeable but removable so the only solution to get rid of the password each time the car starts is to hard reset it?
Hello, did you manage to solve the problem?
Hi again, I also set a password and I can’t disable it, this is bothering me a lot, did any of you guys find a solution? Thank you in advance for any and all help!

How to hard reset android head unit? can any one pls help on this.
Solution for this for me is Quickshortcutmaker. When you start the app, then search for the app that's called search suggestions. And open it.
Now you can search all possible settings in android, which often are hidden and not accessible. Try secure or something like that, to access the lock settings and there you can remove it.
Thank you, I will try this today and report back. Will it require root?
No root needed
Hey sorry to bother you again. I tried it, but the app just takes me back to PIN settings on Android settings which is grayed out and not clickable. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? I’m a noob and not sure what the purpose of this app is to begin with. Here is a 40-second video I shot about what I did, below. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it a lot and don‘t take it for granted.

Strange, for me it is working. My PIN bar is active, when i click on it. It asks me for my PIN.
Can’t remove screen lock
Hi everyone,
I am having the same problem - I cannot remove the screen lock / pattern set up on my Android car head stereo device. I have tried all sorts - going into advanced settings and turning off the ‘screen lock service’, turning off ‘find my device’, removing my google account.
It is so frustrating having to type this in every time the car starts!
I am currently in the process of downloading QuickShortcutMaker. Will keep you updated...
I was in my car trying to solve the problem when you posted your message, and I think I solved it!!! I just cleared credentials and the PIN went away. Go here: Android settings / Security & Location / Advanced (Trust agents), I can’t see what’s next because once you remove the PIN it doesn’t show you the menu, it just says “To use, first set a screen lock”. But somewhere in there, there is “Clear credentials” which did the job! It didn’t affect anything else as best as I can tell, but it’s been only 2 minutes since I managed to do it.
Hi!
I’m currently on quickshortcutmaker and can’t find what you’ve found. Are you on this app?
Thank you so much for your help by the way! I feel like I’m close
There is “trusted credentials” on here tho
No, I didn’t use the quickshortcutmaker, I did it through the Android settings. Here’s a video of what I’ve done, your setup may differ but this is the general idea:

Sorry wrong video on the previous message, here is the correct one:

Maybe it's a ROM issue. I use Malaysk ROM.
Contrary to the topic starter, I found this thread because I wanted to have a lockscreen. I don't like the idea that when my headunit might get stolen the thief can view all kinds of personal information.
So I tried quickshortcutmaker and I could enable it. So far so good.
However, with the screen lock also automatically came a screen timeout which is set to about 10 seconds. So every 10 seconds the screen goes blank. This is of course totally unacceptable for a car head unit. The screen has to stay on until I turn it off.
Unfortunatly I haven't found a setting for the screen timeout. And about the screen lock: you can turn it on and choose different methods, but you can't turn it off. The option to turn it off exists, but it just doesn't work.
I had this problem yesterday and just figured out how to fix this. Deleting the Credentials and disabling through the regular settings menu does not work. Everything would just revert back, so I downloaded an app from the Play Store called Android Settings X. There you can reach the hidden settings. Choose "Choose screen lock (SetupChooseLockGeneric)" to remove the Screen Lock. If that option doesn't work there is another one, 2 options down, called "Settings (ScreenLockSuggestion)". Remove the Lock Screen here. Bam, fixed! This is the only way I know of that actually removes the Lock Screen and will not revert back.

You might try Android Settings X as mentioned in my reply to the thread. Even though you have the opposite issue, i.e. wanting the lock screen, I'm pretty sure I saw a screen timeout option in this app, and since normal methods did not work to remove but using this app did, you might try it out.

I’m new to this formus, and I’m not sure if I should post here or not, so sorry in advance.
I just purchased and installed my 10inch android 10 head unit (system version v11.1.1)
MCU: Ts9.4.3
I managed to install it on my Honda Civic 2018 and it works great. However I noticed one issue, when ever I turn on the light, or change the gears, it shows a notification that doors are open even though its closed.
I tried everything in the setting but I couldn’t find something that turns off this.
I was wondering if its possible to fix this issue or just turn it off the feature completely.
thanks in advance!
Not MTCD/E, requested mod moves to Android head units forum.
Try searching for your MCU version, or part of it to find appropriate threads, they may also hold your answer.
I managed to fix the issue after I played with the setting.
I believe this issue happened because when I installed the screen, the doors were open, and it stored this information.
To fix this issue for Android 10, Ts9. You have to delete the “stored info”.
This can be done by going to the setting> Car Setting>extra setting (passcode 123456) - this worked for my screen > app memery (click on system apps memery)
I changed more setting on that menu but I think this one that fixed it.
I turned the car off for about 3 hours then when I turned it on it was fixed.

-- Update --
I managed to fix the door option. however, for some reason I caused the bluetooth app to stop working, I can play music anymore on the headhunt through bluetooth. It seems like it deleted the information everything I close the app.
I tried resetting factory setting but it didn't fix it.
---Dont do the steps I did above. ---
Hello!
Same problem with the doors. Did you solve that?
Hi,
I have got a YT9216CJ head unit which, generally speaking, works quite okay, except for a couple of strange problems.
1. When I want to use Google Assistant, I am able to invoke it only by clicking the app icon. I am aware that they Hey Google feature doesn't work on most of the Chinese headunits. However, each time the car starts up and I load the assistant, it will go into the Settings screen and prompt to set Google as the default assist app. If I do that, it works perfectly fine until the next key off, after which the same thing repeats again.
2. CarWebGuru is unable to access any notifications - e.g. Google Maps, which is required to show turn by turn directions within CarWebGuru. It complains that I need to grant permissions to read notifications. No matter what I do, it doesn't work. However, this particular feature works magically if I go to CarSettings and change the bootup to be "reboot everytime". Then the notifications seem to work fine. However, each start of the car causes the headunit to take a minute or more to basically load up, which is a real inconvenience with my car usage pattern.
Any ideas of how to fix this or even if I can have any workarounds? Help is much appreciated as I have beaten my head for many, many hours trying to fix these things
have you solved the problem with google assistant ? i have the same problem.. please help me !!
