Please help,
2 days ago I received and installed my Chinese bought SMART S100 SERIES DOUBLE DIN UNIT FOR MY 2013 Suzuki Swift. initially everything worked fine, radio, cd, dvd, digital TV, sat nav etc. etc. Yesterday I went out to the car switched on the ignition and the unit froze on the start up logo , bleeped about 6 times, the radio started making sound but nothing else worked, I looked through pages on the internet and was advised to push the rest button beside the slot for the gps sd card. Once I had done this I turned of the ignition and switched it back on to see the screen go from white to black with coloured lines running down the screen on the right hand side. Im sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place

I've seen a few similar issues on the web with various devices... I believe mine to be a bit different though.
Before today my Blackjack 2 (Windows Mobile 6.1) worked perfectly fine, it fell today and the battery went flying out of the phone. I put it back together and it was working fine. a few hours later i realized the phone shut off on its own. Well, it does that sometimes for me since it is over 2 years old and is quite beat up, so I took it as normal behavior, i started it up, and…. it hangs on the windows mobile green splash screen.
Whenever I shut it down, the loading circle that normally pops up, shows on the screen as its shutting down. I've actually gotten it to show the status bar (signal strength, battery, etcetera, however the rest of the screen remained at the splash screen.
Bootup process: it shows the Samsung splash screen, then the AT&T animation, and then the windows mobile splash screen where it finally hangs. When I plug it into my computer using the data cable, it dings on connection, and my computer starts to connect, but then errors out.
I'd like to try to avoid a hard reset or re installation if possible… just added a bunch of contacts that I haven't backed up, and I don't know their numbers off hand, so I'd have to wait for them to call/text me or until i see them again.
Also, if I have to perform a hard reset, I'm unsure if the phone will actually work after-wards since this did appear to begin after it hit the ground.
Since installing WM 6.1 I have not installed any software/programs/apps on the device, just some new contacts. It's not the sim card, my friend has the same phone so I tried it out on his and it worked fine.
Anyone able to advise on this?
Sorry for the double post, decided to format anyways. I have a trip tomorrow and absolutely needed a functional phone. It is now functioning perfectly fine, boot time is a bit longer than usual but it does boot.
Any idea what could have caused this and how to avoid the issue in the future?
Hello my friends,
long story short, I totally destroyed my screen, so I ordered a new one from ebay, for my XT1032, replacement went without problems, everything works perfectly but screen turns black for 0.4 second every 9 seconds (aproximatelly) - do you have any experiences with this behaviour? Or any suggestions where is the problem?
Aditional information:
1. as I said, phone version is XT1032 and the new display too (I have not found any difference between old and new one)
2. I checked contacts 3 times, I think, everything should be well connected
3. touchscreen, cameras, battery, speaker, sensors are working as they should
4. I tried to factory reset, didnt help
5. I have old Cyanogenod 6.0.1., so I have made some customisation
6. My last guess is that as I made different customisations to the software side of my phone, maybe the new screen isnt set up for something like that, and I need to do the same customisation from scratch, with the new display.
EDIT 1:
Display in Bootloader and Recovery is working without turning black
I tried to factory reset and flash a different ROM, but didnt work and display still turns black
(I wanted to destroy it because new Moto G gen5 came out , I tried hard to destroy it, but everything is working perfectly, just screen was unusable, so I said: Hell yeah, this phone is godlike, I will keep it )
Thanks for any suggestion.
So old screen doesnt do this strange black screen, so definitelly it is an issue of the new one. My last guess was that something can be wrong with the proximity sensor, but it turns out that probably it is not the problem. I will try to return the display. I have enough and I end this.
Hi Everyone,
I'm reaching out because I'm facing a challenge with my android Radio in my car and maybe you guys can help me.
I bought 6 Months ago this product:
Eunavi 2 din Android 7.1 8.1 car DVD player GPS for Toyota Corolla 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 1024*600 screen 8'' car stereo radio.
Everything was fine until recently where when I'm driving and not using the radio, the radio is going to sleep mode, the screen becomes black and there are still some lights switched on around the power button.
The problem is that once this sleep mode is reached, I have no other ways than to switch off the car to reboot the radio unit to get it back to life.
I tried a lot of things including the reset button, Factory reset, but the issue always the same, once I'm on sleep mode for inactivity, I cannot switch it back on for proper normal use.
Is there anyone that has been facing this in the past and that overcome that issue?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks Guys!
As the title says, every day or two the screen stops responding to touch, I have to hold the power button for 30 seconds to force a hard restart or put a pin in the reset hole on the front, then it's fine again for a day or two.
I have updated MCU from MTCE_GS_V2.78 to MTCE_GS_V3.40, and Android from HCT_PX5_6.0(20171023) to HCT_PX5_6.0(20171227), also removed front panel and DVD player and re-seated all 3 ribbon cables connecting the front to the main unit (2 small & 1 wide) to no avail, An ideas? or is it just giving up after 3 years?
Thanks all
I'm having the same problem, only thing is now its become permanent. I've tried everything from MCU updates to stripping down the unit to barebones and checking connections. Its not just the screen touch, its the touch panel controls as well. Did you get thsi resolved?
Unfortunately not, sometimes it comes back to life, I quickly play an album, the screen jumps and flashes then goes black, no touch working but music keeps playing, sometimes my whole journey to work is in silence, I'm learning to live with it :laugh:
Hi,
First of all, please excuse me if I have post on the wrong forum. I really searched a lot for a similar question but haven't found it. My unit's MCU versoin is MTCE_CZ_V3.10_2, so I don't know if it's really a "MTCE" head unit, but I don't see a MTCE specific sub-forum (by the way, what does the MTCD, MTCB and so on nomenclature mean?). I got this unit from AliExpress about a year and a half ago, it's a 4 GB, octa-core [email protected] version, with 64 GB internal memory and DVD, for Vauxhall/Opel Corsa, and this is the current (updated) product page for it:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32789005299.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dbyAN90
It currently displays a PX6 version; mine is the PX5 one.
Well, the problem with the unit happend a few weeks after I installed it on my car. Suddenly, one time, when I started my car's engine, I noticed the unit wouldn't turn on. No matter how times I attempted to reset it, it wouldn't do anything (although when doing so, through the small pin hole, colorful led light would cycle through the cover.
I contacted Wondefoo and they sent-me a an HTC-PX5--REV12(LPDDR-221), 20190515, board replacement, exactly like the original one. After replacing it, the unit started working again.
In january 2020 this happened again. Tried exchanging it again with the original MCU; nothing worked.
Nearly two months later I attempted the same procedura and this time it worked - the unit started working again.
My bet is that something is causing this unit to get stuck, and after enough time passes and the capacitors get emptied and the DRAM erases, it's able to "recover" somehow.
Maybe 6 months ago, this happened again. Out of frustration, in the middle of a drive, once I started pushing all the buttons randomly. Finally, I don't know by which combination, the unit turned on, displaying a recover menu. I don't know how, simple choosed to restart and it became working again.
Some weeks later, after getting unresponsive again and trying the "random button push" procedure, the menu showed up again. This time I attempted a factory reset and got the unit working for severl weeks.
Finally, my unit died for the last time about two months ago and I haven't been able to recover it by the "pushing buttons" method, neither by disconnecting it from the power source and reconnecting days later. I came back to the original radio player, which is a hassle as the CD player is also broken.
I'd like to try echanging the MCU with the spare one; I'm almost sure that it will work again, but before doing so I'd like to assure that I won't find myself in this situation again, as it's a waste of time. Maybe the problem is known and you can recommend me a software version / update that would prevent this from happen again. Maybe there is some sort of hardware mod that can be attempted by replacing some component. Maybe you know how to "hard reset" it from some motherboard pins, maybe where I could mount a switch to do so when the unit becomes dead, or maybe you can tell me the proper key combination for the recovery menu.
I've also found some firmware pages, namely https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr, with a long list for several models. It looks more or less clear where to get the MCU firmware, but for the Android image it's a bit more complicated. If I enter the RockChip PX5 Android 9 folder, then HTC subfolder, there are several HTC4_XXXXXXXXXXX, HTC5_XXXXXXXXXXX and HTC_XXXXXXXXXXX options, and the same for RockChip PX5 Android 10 (assuming that there were an Android 10 update for my hardware; it came with Android 9 if I'm not wrong), so I don't know which one to attempt.
PS: the "reset" little hole never has really worked for me in this situation. It just will cycle to RGB leds if I push it with a paperclick and, while pushing, press the "on" button, and they will shut off when I release the button, but that's all.
Noone encountered a similar problem?
