How to get apps to Auto Re-Start - Android Head-Units

Ok, so I am sure someone has already answered this question but right now I can't find it. I'd like to know how to set the launcher so it can remember the last app that was playing before shutting down.
For example, I may be listening to a sat radio channel when I stop for gas. 10 minutes later I am back in the car and start, yet FCC doesn't launch the sat radio app, even though I have tried setting this feature in "AUTOSTART".
Is there anyone here who can help with this. ? There's also a feature under "SOUND" that is supposed to restart whetver audio you were listening to before the last shut down. This doesn't seem to work for me, either.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Depending on your head unit you need to play around with the timing in Fcc.
Wait before Autostart --> try first 30 sec and reduce the time until the autostart does not work anymore. Then just go back to the working timing.

Bluetooth and Auto music app start?

So I recently got a new truck which has the ability to stream audio over bluetooth. I LOVE this. However, I'm also being driven to the brink of insanity. First my stock "music" app starts playing automatically and it's usually a ringtone. I have to manually stop it everytime this happens. At first I noticed it would happen once it would connect to bluetooth. Now I notice if I take a call or place a call via bluetooth, it starts up again.
My next step was to try and kill the app via tasker anytime I connected to bluetooth. I also tried killing the app everytime the phone went idle. Fail!
I installed PowerAmp and tried all the same. The only thing that changed was poweramp started up on a different ringtone.
I rooted my phone and tried tasker with a task-kill plug in. Even set it to the harshest setting. The tasks worked, but there would either be a time delay or I haven't been able to meet all the conditions that trigger the app to start up.
I've checked the settings in my car. Nothing seems to be able to control a signal that I'm guessing is being sent to my phone from the car to autostart music.
I haven't tested this yet but I purchased titanium backup and have put the Music and PowerAmp apps on FREEZE. My guess is some other app is going to fire up in attempt to respond to whatever signal is being sent from my car.
So, my next logical question, from a soon to be highly illogical insane person...HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP?????? lol. Please help me for the love of all things holy and unholy!

I had a similar issue and found forum recommendations to try Bluetooth Connect & Stop Play from the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.bluetooth.connect.and.stop.play&hl=en Does that help?
I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

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.

Sleep mode

All of a sudden (or probably not). All my apps is closing down 2-10 minutes after going in to sleep mode.
For example. I use Runkeeper to log all my running activities. It has never been any problems but now it suddenly stops so I can't see how long I've ran or how long time I´'ve been doing it.
My car stereo has broken down (It's a really old car ). So I took an blutoth speeker and used my phone to hear the radio. That has been working just fine as well, until lately.
I guess it's somethings in settings. But I have not been doing anything. I go for "Don't mend it if it's not broken".

Go to battery optimization settings and ignore battery optimization for those apps

Shutdown delay when ACC off - change to 24 hours?

Hi,
I have an android head unit (rk3066), which has an option to shutdown between 30 seconds to 2 hours after the ACC has been turned off. This is great, but I would really like this to be 24 hours, so that I don't have to wait for it to boot every time I get in the car.
Surely this is a setting stored in a file somewhere that can be edited? I already have root access, so just need to find it and change it? - does anyone have any suggestions as to how this can be done?
Another option would just be for it to stay on permanently - never turn off, just stay in sleep mode, I would be fine with that too - but I can't find an app or setting that would prevent shutdowns either. An idea of this would be great too.
Regards,
Henry

Be careful in what you wish (stay on permanently). Your head unit is not a phone. The fact that it wants to shut down is most probably because the MCU firmware can't switch off the amplifier. It means that the unit will drain 40 - 100 mA draining your battery in 20 -70 hours, even though the Android part might be in sleep mode.
I do not know your unit, but it could as well be a property being set, like many of these units do with their settings. So go into a terminal app and execute the command "getprop > /sdcard/getprop.txt" and check what is written to the file. Maybe it contains some useful info. Note that the written text file will contain unix linefeeds so if you are a windows user, you can't use notepad. Use notepad++ or so.

We understand the consequences but is there anyway for us to set that? An apk? This option had been taken out and we can't set it... if you know how or at least know any dev which is working on this, please point us to him.
thanks

Hi guys
I´m looking for this to, does anyone have a solution ?
tks
me too
Usually for that the head units have a sleep mode which sets the hu in a hybernation mode with less energy consumption.
Yes, I know, the problem is the maximum standby time is just 1 hour which is not much. I need more, like 1 or even 2 days. And I don't care about battery drainage.

Stop Spotify from run at startup on Joying 8.1 Airmont

Spotify starts every time I turn on the ingnition and Joying JY-UO135N4G wakes up. I have done factory reset, reinstalled software, gotten 2019.5.15 from Joying guys ... nothing helps. Every time I reinstall Spotify, it will start to run at startup.
If I kill Spotify and reboot, Spotify won't start. If I turn ignition off and back on again, Spotify won't start. But, once I start Spotify once again, kill it and turn ignition off and on, Spotify will start on every ignition on automatically.
Could it have gotten the right for autostart with Nova Launcher and Spotify widget?
I have no idea how Spotify has gotten right to run at startup, but BootManager app shows it as the only item on the list of applications to run at startup. I have not rooted yet so cannot run Xposed framework and use BootManager to delete the right.
Is there a way to stop run at startup? Can I delete some file before factory reset and reinstall Joying software? How can it survive complete reinstall?
I think I have this same issue you have so am attempting to bump this thread to see if you have happen to have found a fix.
I do use Spotify all the time so it running is not my main concern, but why it always pops up on resume at a queue screen. I do not know where it gets the trigger to take focus and always go to that screen. If it was playing in the background and I turn off the car, on resume it will display on top of anything else unnecessarily.
