S7 Edge Issues

Hi All,
I've had the S7 Edge now for 3 months and I am generally loving the phone. However I have a few issues that are happening continoulsy:
Bluetooth turns itself on and the volume of the phone mutes itself.
Wifi turns itself off during the night even though I've selected the option to keep it on. I will wake in the morning and the phone is using my mobile providers data.
I have read various threads to factory reset the phone which I will do if it resolves the issues but I want to ensure my Apps return with the data they currently have residing in them e.g. 1Password etc.
Hoping someone has some thoughts,
Thanks.

Did those issues always occur or start only recently?

Hi,
From memory they have always been there. I've just lived with them but they are becoming annoying.
Thanks.

this is not a common issue and I believe you got a defective unit. you should take it back to make warranty claim

I'll have a word with Samsung support. I would have thought that the software was telling it to do these things.

In the wifi settings, try disabling wifi smart network and setting also wifi always active on standby (the actual menu setting names might differ, I translated from italian).

Unfortunately I've tried all of those to no avail. Today the phone has 4 times muted itself and in addition Bluetooth has turned itself on automatically. All bizarre!

Do you use the edge panel "My Places?" This can change those settings based on location.

Unfortunately not I don't use it. I wish I did as that may be an answer! It happens all over to be honest and isn't linked to a certain location. It's very odd as I can be using the phone and suddenly it turns mute on. Sometimes bluetooth will turn on with it and sometimes not. Its frustrating as I am now missing calls and texts.
Appreciate any feedback.

Apps - application manager - apps that can change system settings. (names my differ. Translated from my language). See if any user app that you installed is enabled in there or try troubleshoot by disable one at a time.

Okay I've disabled them all for now. If things stop working I'll enable them one by one. There were a few that had access. Appreciate your help.
Just as an aside what is the best way to factory reset the phone and then reinstall the apps etc that I had installed. I'm thinking worst case if what you have proposed doesn't work? I had an iPhone prior to this and it was a pretty straight forward process.
Thanks.

I'm not TOTALLY sure, but I think that if you're logged in with your google account and go into settings->Backup and choose to backup to your google account, your app data should follow. After the backup is finished, factory reset and then when you log into your google account again you get an option to retrieve your old app+data.
Don't hang me up on this, as i'm not totally sure! But i THINK it works this way. Google at least mention app data in the decription, but well, not sure if everything follows.

wifi/date and time problem

Hi guys I've got a weird problem and couldn't find any other thread on it. Basically my problem is if I leave my phone off for a while then when I turn it back on it says the date is 11th January 1970 and the wrong time. To fix it I either have to reboot or disable and enable WiFi again. My Internet connection says connected, no Internet until the date updates itself. The problem doesn't seem to be a rom or kernel issue as I wiped my phone and just had my rom, kernel and root and there was no problem. If anyone knows what I can do to fix it then please let me know. I think the problem could be either an app conflict or app and system conflict. Could it be a mod or app I installed causing the problem? Thanks for any help guys

Do you have settings set to automatic as the screenshot attached?
Good luck...

Yeah, that's already automatic. The time does it automatically but it just takes a minute or two and sometimes a reboot.

This is weird. I have never encountered the same issue.
Try disabling automatic date & time and automatic time zone.
Reboot and activate cellular data. Then go back to settings and re-enable both automatic date & time and automatic time zone. See if that helps.
If you think about a mod/app issue, just think about what new mod/app you installed since your issue occured.
Good luck...

Any chance I could install a logcat app like matlog? Would that help and do you understand them? I'll try what you said too.

Hey,
Unfortunately, i haven't learned enough to be able to understand what's happening, sorry.
You can post your log though. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will read your thread and figure what's wrong with your phone.

Xtrons Android 8.0 BMW E90 Headunit - Not keeping time!

Hello all.
I have installed a new Android 8.0 E90 specific headunit and it is fantastic. All is working fine, all the radio presets and settings are being held so I know the memory wiring is correct. However, my one and only issue is that the time is not correct each time I switch the engine on! I have tried amending all the settings under the sun and nothing seems to work and is really frustrating me now. It doesn't make a difference whether I have GPS auto update on or off. Basically, if I set the time, switch engine off say, for an hour and then return to my car, the time will be an hour behind so it basically doesn't update as soon as it is switched off. I have even waited to see if there is a delay in the update but I have waited the whole length of any journey and it doesn't...
Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

In Gps settings set time adjust fronte satellite.
When you restare the car the time must sincronize in less than a minute.

Hi, I have it already set so the time automatically updates with GPS. But it doesn't when I restart the car.

You timezone might be wrong.

Nope, timezone is correct (London GMT).
The most confusing thing is I have checked all of these options. I have even tried switched all the auto updates off and set the time manually. It still doesn't keep time! Most frustrating.

Have you tested out the bluetooth functionality related to phone calls? On my previous Xtrons unit, the person on the other end of the line always heard themselves echo and it was a show stopper for me. If this is not a problem with the new unit, I would pick one up.

Bump, Also have this problem with my e82 headunit by isudar

Wow I completely forgot to update this haha! Well, the solution for me was to set the ACC OFF time to 30 seconds. So basically, it has to do a reboot everytime I sit in the car. Not a big issue as it only takes 30 seconds. The time is always right then.
However, the bluetooth and wifi has stopped working on this unit. First the wifi just doesn't switch on, then, more recently the bluetooth kept disconnecting and now doesn't function whatsoever. Might just go down the route of a new headunit tbh.

Remove Lock Screen from Android Head Unit

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:
https://youtu.be/f3Hx81tO15A

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.

TS9 Android 10 head unit Issue - Doors shows open when its closed - Android 10 head unit

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?
