Hi, I just got a android head unit and can't figure if it's something wrong or just a setting I can't find.
When I have an audio app running, like radio or music, and then start a nav app(specifically OSAMD) everything is fine. The music plays while nav is working. The problem is when the nav app interupts the audio with voice alerts, the music audio never comes back on. Have to go to the music app and audio comes back the switch back to the nav app. On next alert it does it all over again.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Hi again,
Can no one help with this?
Nobody else have this problem?
what's the Unit, What's the Nav app and are you using Android Auto or Carplay or Native App? If this is AA/CP this is normal when using Native Music. If this is all Native I suggest to try switching to a different Nav App and see if it makes a difference.
I can tell you on mine Waze and Goggle Maps will properly interrupt then return to music with both spotify and VLC.
AA/CP does exactly what you described, unless you play music through AA/CP.
This is the first one I have had. It's from amazon the brand says Podofo. It's android 9.1
I'm using Osamd navagation app. They say the app should return the music but it does not. Not sure what AA/CP is, maybe android auto. I'm not using that just the built in launcher and tried a couple other launchers with no luck. I'll try google or waze and see if they are any different.

I am just getting my feet wet on the Android side of things and was wondering if someone can help me with how to configure my Joying 10.1" android unit running 5.1.1.
Currently with the default Radio, Music, and Video player apps, they all power off and on normally by bringing you back to the previous station, mp3, or video that was last played when the unit turns back on.
I am trying to switch to Rocket Music Player for the playlist support. However I have 2 issues.
1. When I have Rocket Player running and playing music, when I switch to the default Radio, Music, or Video apps from the head unit, the audio from Rocket Player continues to play in the background? How do I disable the audio mixing just for these 3 apps? I obviously want Rocket Player to keep playing when I run navigation or other apps, but I want it to stop for these default apps.
2. When the unit powers on, Rocket Player says that the task was killed and to disable the task killer to prevent this from happening again. Because of this, when I power the head unit back on, Rocket Player sometime randomly chooses a song from my library to play and not the last song it was playing for the unit is powered down. Where can I go in the settings to put Rocket Music Player on the exception list of apps to not kill when the unit powers down?
Do I need to try a different music app? Do I need to root the head unit? Is there a different app I can use to fix these 2 issues above?
Thanks in advance!
I tried PowerAmp and had the same issues. Is this something that Tasker can fix? Can Tasker kill just the audio for the stock Music and Video app when I launch either PowerAmp or RocketPlayer? Or will I only be able to kill the entire process? Sorry, I haven't purchased Tasker yet but will do so if it can fix my issues here.
Hello to all.
I just purchased this HU and until now i like it but i have 2 issues that i will need your help.
The first thing is with Gps. Every time i turn off and on the car the gps is closed. Is there any way to open the app when i start the car? I am not familiar with tasker so any other way? I only use it for speedcam warnings so if there is any other program that will open automatic and make only speedcam warning please suggest.
The second thing is that in my other car i have a kenwood unit that i can watch music video and in same time i can go to gps or go to equalizer etc.
In this unit when i start to see music video when i press home button to make something else the video stops. After a lot of hours i managed to solve that with vlc player that gave me video playback in background. So i am watching the video and when i push gps or home button i am able to still listening to the music. But here comes other issue.... When i turn off the car and then again on the HU open automatic vlc but it doesnt start to play from where it stopped It goes only to the folder explorer and waiting to press the folder you wish to hear. (in the stock video app there is no background audio as i said before but if you turn off the car and then turn on it starts from where it stopped).
Any suggestions on this?
Thank you all and sorry for my big post...
I am still in same situation.
Any help?

Hi All
Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.
Recently received my Joying Head Unit back from China as I had the black screen issue. Even though the unit now works and the screen is displayed, part of the Touchscreen doesn't recognize when you touch it (Oh well, back tos peaking to Candy at Joying to see what can be done)
Anyways, the issue I am having is for some odd reason, when I am using Poweramp and Waze together, Whenver I get a turn by turn direction from Waze, any music that is playing via Poweramp goes completely silent, instead of reducing the volume of the audio track.
Previously I could play Music and when a direction came via Waze it would reduce the music volume, give the direction, and then raise the music volume back up.
But for some odd reason now, its not doing it.
I've checked the 'Car Settings' option on the Joying Head Unit and can confirm that GPS Mix is On and my Navi App os set to Waze.
Is there another setting that I am missing here? How do i get it to go back to how it was?
Thanks in Advance
there is another option in Car settings, smth like "Sound Mixing Scale", that defines, how much attenuation should be applied to the music volume during navi sounds.. Try to play with this setting

I'll try that setting but I don't think its that.
Will report back in a bit
adjusting Sound Mixing Scale hasn't fixed the issue
as i don't use PowerAmp, i can't know what settings it has. Can you try to reproduce it with other music player (it is always good to test with built-in player) ?

Waze has the option to "play to phone speaker" or something alike. It changes the behavior of Waze with regard to other media output. Didi you try that setting?
Hello, new to forum. I tried searching but I have several questions that I can’t quite pinpoint so decided to just ask.
Recently purchased a cheap Android head unit off eBay for my suburban. Immediately after install I was disappointed and frustrated trying to figure everything out, but now I’m thinking it’s not user error but more of a software issue or a settings issue I’m not familiar with.
I’ll get straight to it.
Once installed I had no sound through Bluetooth, usb, or any installed app (YouTube, Apple Music, etc).
I found that the radio app did work, and after tinkering with some settings I got Bluetooth working (not sure what I did, think I was in the equalizer car settings). Well the next day I drove it for the first time and after a few minutes sound went out again. Switched to radio and works fine. So I did a full factory reset, and now it’s really screwy.
Now, Bluetooth only plays if I open the radio app. Radio does not work at all, the app opens and acts frozen, but if I hit play on my phone I get my music. If I open the Bluetooth app, sound cuts off. Music still shows playing on my phone, and when i reopen the radio app it pauses on the phone, I hit play and sound comes back. Still no sound through YouTube or any other music source, BUT voice turn by turn works through google maps.
I’ve tried doing a factory reset multiple times now (yes the full reset).
I tried downloading a new launcher, started with the carwebguru which resulted for some reason music only playing when the radio app was open, if I went back to the home screen or changed apps sound cut out. So I deleted it and downloaded FCC and it’s back to the way it was, Bluetooth plays through the radio app, and I can now switch back to other apps and music continues playing until I reopen another app that plays sound.
So, does this sound like this is a settings issue, hardware issue, or app issue? If it’s an app issue, what are some good apps to replace them with? I see a ton of fm radio apps but not sure if they’ll work, not really any Bluetooth apps, and I use Apple Music on my iPhone and have it downloaded on the stereo (although it doesn’t have sound, either).
Thanks!
Update. After playing around with some settings, I’m feel like I’m getting somewhere but not fixing the issue.
I went under the factory settings from car settings. Radio settings were set to NXP6851 and I changed it to FM Inside.
After doing so, the radio app works flawless but Bluetooth no longer plays through the radio app. Still no sound from YouTube or Apple Music.
So I set it back to the NXP6851 and sure enough, radio app is frozen and Bluetooth plays from my phone through the radio app.
I made a test phone call and Bluetooth works, but only through the radio app. If I open the Bluetooth app all sounds shut off.
Now, after playing around with it, I found that I can get the internal apps to play sound if I do the following: open radio, play music through my phone, back to home screen and open an app (Apple Music is what I used) and hit the play button. It stopped the music from my phone and started playing through the app!
I was excited as all hell, but it only played for maybe 5 minutes then the sound shut off again. Cleared all apps and sure enough, again the same process let me play music through the apps but only produce sound for a few minutes (not even one song).
Still messing with it. Anybody have any advice?
Thanks!
Figured it out. Not sure why but there’s an app called “mode” with two arrows in a circle. Hit it once and now everything works as it should. If i hit it again it goes back to just the radio working.
Hi,
I have installed a BLP-950A (Octa Core with Android 7.1) in my vehicle. Unfortunately, there is a problem with the integrated music player in conjunction with navigation apps. The music player crashes sporadically and then the navigation app stops working. Only when I close the music player completly, the navigation works normally again. The problem occurs on Google Maps and Here we go. However, if I run the radio instead of the music player, the problem does not arise.
TomTom Go has another problem that the default computer voice is distorted as soon as I put this app as the default navigation app in the system. If I take the assignment away, the standard computer voice works normally, but much too quietly, and it does not dampen the music when route announcements come along. How I can fix this?
Therefore, another question, I would like to change the standard music player with e.g. with poweramp. Unfortunately, Poweramp does not continue playing as soon as I turn off the device and turn it back on. I always have to open poweramp completely after each reboot and press play to resume.
Tom
