SPRD Head Unit Problems - Android Head-Units

Hi....Attached picture shows what I have and the problem I am having is that it will about 30% of the time come on without sound and turning car off and back on will have sound and everything will work fine until I turn it off again. Car is a 2001 LS430 and have tried all canbus settings within the factory settings for the type canbus I have. I have tried sleep and non sleep modes, reboot the unit while car is on, reset while car is on, change canbus settings while car is on and nothing will bring the sound back until I turn car off and back on. The unit comes on to a different screen everytime and is not consistant in what it does. The radio in unit may play then switches to car tuner and then afterwards sound may cut off and this may happen also with the car turner coming on first. I have changed the car launcher with agama and sometimes the sound will play fine and when hit home button agama starts up and other times it is already there which it is supposed to be. It is very eratic how this unit boots up or comes out of sleep. Once on everything works fine including AC controls but did notice when messed up the AC controls still will work on app but not light up if turn fan up high etc. You would think the home launcher would be the first thing to dictate what happens but for this unit it is down the line. I have since put a switch in the ACC line to use so I don't have to cut car off. Has anyone else here experienced this. Is there a way to go into settings somewhere and dictate the sequence. I can get into factory settings with password but do not know the developer options password. Thanks and hope someone here can help with this strange problem. Like I said when it comes on it is random what I see on screen when it does and doesn't work.

I don't think this a FYT unit. Please run the HWGetInfo apk from my signature. That's the simplest way to tell whether it is a FYT.

Thanks...I did that and it is not an FYT unit...Where should I post this question...thanks

I have requested the Moderators to move this thread to the general Android Head unit forum

Volkswagen Android Head Unit - Questions from a Newbie :)

Hello all,
Just picked up an Android Head Unit and installed it in my 2013 VW CC this week, and I have a few questions that I'm hoping I can get some information on.
I honestly have no idea what Make/Model this unit is for cross-reference purposes. Would love to know how to figure this out in case I'm looking to Root the unit, etc.. My account is new, so I can't post a direct link to the Aliexpress page -- including a screenshot of the sales page of the unit. Not sure if that will shed any light as to the exact model, but I'm assuming there's likely a menu setting I can access showing me exact build to figure it out?

I've seen a LOT of mention of Long Boot times with most if not all of these Android head units, and I've even seen some YouTube vids of this. However, this head unit of mine is "instantly on" as soon as I start the vehicle, with no boot time at all to get into the User Interface. This freaks me out a bit, as it almost makes me think the unit is getting Constant Power and of course destroying my vehicle battery. I've only had the unit installed for one day, so I don't have a long sample size yet... but so far so good without killing the battery. Can anyone shed any light on the "instantly on" behavior, and if that seems normal?
To expand on the "instantly on" behavior. Let's say I have Google Maps running, and I turn the vehicle complete OFF and even remove the key. When I start the car back up, the Google Maps application pops up directly on screen without any interruption. I can't think this is normal, but maybe it is?
I tried to install Google Assistant, and while the App itself installs.... it seems that the device is locked down to a certain permission level, and will not allow Google Assistant to run. Any ideas? Needs Root to run, or possibly something else?
I'm sure I'll be back with more questions, but any input on the above would be greatly appreciated!
I had a similar experience with a mekede unit, about 3 days in it completely drained my battery. Got a mate who's an auto electrician to wire it the the ignition instead.

These units for VW (Audi, Skoda, Seat and some other makes) are supposed to have an adapter to communicate with the car's CAN bus. This provides the unit with certain information and should hut it down properly when the ignition is off. It sounds like you don't have such an adapter and therefore the unit is permanently on

Sleep stop working on my no-brand (Joying) unit

Hi everyone
I have a no-brand unit directly purchased in China. It is a Sofia 3GR, 2GB ram, Android 6.0.1.
It is more or less the same as the Joying unit, for what I saw on this forums.
One day I factory-reset the unit, and the sleep function is gone. I then tried updating the ROM to a Joying ROM (2018-01-10 Android 6.0.1), but still the sleep function is gone.
I tried clean install by wiping all data in the internal storage.
The sleep function is not there even when no other apps are installed (just the stock/system apps), neither not rooted nor rooted.
The unit will shut down after 5-10 seconds when I turned off the ignition. Before I factory reset the unit at the first time, it can stay at sleep for around 2-4 days.
What could I do to make it back? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

One of the first options in the Settings is whether the unit needs to switch off, or go to sleep mode. Did you check that?

Actually it is not JOYING unit

I know it is NOT. For what I saw on this forums, all Joying problems/solutions can be applied to my unit. So I just said it is a no-brand but more or less a Joying.
And I guess Joying and my unit are made by the same factory. It is usual in China that many shops are actually selling the same products (with their own brand name) made by the same factory.
And it looks like Joying is one of the popular units here. That’s why I tried to ask if anyone had this problem before on his/her Joying or “no-brand but Joying like” unit. And I hope the same solution can be applied to my unit, or at least I am open to try.

BMW e60 PX3 android - no signal on OEM side

Hi all,
I've been going through topics for the last 7 days, but with no results for my problem.
I have 2nd gen, PX3 7.1 , 2G rom android headunit, i've bought it as second hand.
Android part is working good, no issues, but i cannot get signal for OEM i-drive side or for when reversing.
When i put in reverse nothing happens (i guess there should be camera view with no-signal and PDC display, right?). This is happening from the very start, so while in my car, this never worked.
I get sound from android unit, and all of the features there work.
I-drive wheel work on android, steering wheel buttons work on android (i am able to switch sources Radio, CD, AUX via steering wheel button), also signal is sent to dashboard app (speed, door open, brake pull..)
But, when i try to go to "Car info" or pressing MENU button for 3 seconds it always displays "No Signal"
What i tried so far (in chronological order):
-tried pretty much every CarType option in factory settings menu - no luck
- removed unit's back-cover to inspect hardware (i am not very knowledgeable about electronics, but connectors seem ok visually)
- MCU update to latest - successful but no change
- ROM update to px3 7.1.1 20181124 - successful but no change
- tried again original CCC i-drive screen with original harness - everything is OK, signal is there
- Did Factory reset - successful, but no change for No signal, i am now facing with Google services stopped error every 10 seconds, i will deal with that now, i will try to update services or downgrade to 20180703
Does anybody have any idea what can cause "No Signal" issue on OEM side?
What should i look for, what connector is responsible for that part?
Can it be faulty harness? Can it be software related?
I hope someone can help me, i am really struggling to fix this (if it is possible).
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Novak

Ok, since nobody replied i will share info hopefully to help someone else.
I ve solved the problem. in my case it was Lvds connector/jack on the headunit itself. It seems that connections to the chip next to the jack were not good. Solved by removing connector and soldering new one.
The same problem
nowaq111 pls give me more information about this becamuse i ve have the same problem

In my case it was the lvds connector on the android unit. It had loose (broken) pins, so i took it to repair shop and they soldered new jack (new pins) and it is working fine ever since.

Help with Raise canbus settings on Chevrolet Trax (Europe)

Hello everybody from Italy,
Can you please help me with this issue? I've just purchased an Android 10 AllWinner head unit, had it installed but the original rear camera, parking sensors, beeps, etc are no longer working. Before everything was great on the original MyLink.
I've attached pictures so that you can have a look.
A Raise canbus was sent together with the car radio but even if it is set to CHEVROLET TRAX, it is not working.
Anybody knows how to help for this GM car? THANKS

the sad fact about getting a aftermarket unit that's not specifically made for your vehicle is that you won't be able to get any of those things working especially if they communicate through proprietary connectors and communication methods. You might be able to get the camera working through some special wiring and wiring diagrams. Other than that I doubt you will be able to get the ultrasonic parking sensors working with a basic aftermarket unit by itself.
And on another note if you had somebody install it other than yourself it will be even more difficult getting it to work. Being that you have no knowledge of what's going on behind your dash right now

Hi,
My android head unit has no option for GE - Trax.
I set the can bus to GE - Aveo. I use Raise can bus.
I mis plugged the connector on head unit side upside down, but after fixing it works fine.

Sorry to say... but: Just use the head unit as it is expected.
There is no need to mirror anything, so voice recognition would not fight in there. Use Google navigation on your head unit as expected, instead of any mirroring.
I really don´t understand why someone uses mirroring on these units....
Issue is in the settings on your phone, not on the head unit.

I am currently using it with shared internet, but it is terribly unstable. It freezes the ipod app, chrome crashes all the time, phone calls are often completely silent and so I have reset the HU.
So mirroring is still much more manageable than the factory software environment of the head unit.
I might try the Hal9k package.

First of all, I would ask the seller for the latest firmware and MCU.
You need to have something as fall back solution, if Hal9k goes wrong.
Be patient to use Hal9k... it is not always the final solution to use it.
