Sygic - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Can you guys post a video or describe your experience with this app. Ill try to post one later.
Since Joying and other brands prepackage(installed a pirated apk) and even advertise it, that MUST mean Sygic should work flawlessly.
Its Not.
Its horrible and just slow. After first I thought about returning the product but I waited till there was a custom rom. It still hasnt fixed the issue.
Ive seen videos for Sygic on MTCB and it looks like it runs great.
Since there are no plans for source do I have a paperweight.
I have an evo4g running 2.3 that runs sygic better and more responsive.
The Rk3188 on other devices runs things fine. Without source this is looking like a regret./
Ive also purchased Sygic and both the pirated app that it came with and the playstore version run horrible.
Heres how it usually acts

And here it is after I force close it and clear its cache.

I have a HotAudio unit... mtcd 5.1.1.
It comes with IGO preinstalled (pirated), not sygic. It works well but its gui is old stylish.
I installed sygic and initially it goes well. I did yesterday so I have to check more time.
Can you post a video on order to see what is "slow" for you? And then we can compare...

I use sygic as my main GPS on my Joying unit. No issues at all. Installed it from Google Play Store and purchased the lifetime traffic etc.. for it.

My unit did not come with a map card. They emailed me a link to iGo. Do we know these are pirated? I know it seems like it is, and most likely is, but is there a way to tell?
I have not tried iGo or Sygic. I just downloaded the map of my city in Google Maps. works pretty good

Runs fine on my MTCD KD unit. Sometimes it is slow on startup, but when loaded it's fine. Can you describe horrible and slow?

I update my original post with a video

Which rom do you have? Stock or custom (Malaysk)?

Ive tried stock, update for stock. Malaysk V1-v5. All with the same problem. You guys must be lucky to have a working model if Im the only one having this issue. Ive emailed Sygic directly with the response I got from the seller and awaiting a response from them. Joying advertises this on their product page which is why I bought this.

Mine works ok with sygic. It is a little slow initially (and if you interrupt the loading it screws up the interface) but otherwise works flawlesly.

Working great for me

I typically use Nokia Maps but i tested Sygic this morning, works fine all the way to my work

Did all of you all get Sygic from Joying? I just got iGo.
I might just get it from the Play Store and try it out
Also - Google Maps is updating to allow offline storage on sd cards:

SO its super clear I have a defective unit yet doctorman and joying refuse to do an even exchange even though both claim warranty.
Doctorman(joying-usa) wanted more money from to fix the unit. I refused since I paid for a working item and not a defective unit.

can anyone post a video like mine so i could compare please

I have asked to Sygic Support
Reply from Sygic "Facebook Support"
Thank you for contacting Sygic.
We are sorry but Sygic GPS Navigation app is primarly designed only for smartphones and tablets. Unfortunately we are not able to quarantee proper functionality of our application on Android car radios.
Thank you for understanding.
If you have any other question, or need any further assistance, just reply to this message to open the ticket again.

I have purchased sygic and it works ok. But it is a bit of a beast and slow to start.
For me, I keep Sygic and also Maps.ME loaded onto the device for having something that is pure offline and maps stored locally that I know will work when I don't have an internet connection.
In town I use google maps (and have stored offline of the local town), and often google maps also if I have internet/tethering for traffic.

Same here:
Slow on startup, but then it works fine.
But i do have a different issue with Sygic + Poweramp.
Poweramp doesn't lower the sound volume correctly, if there is a notification from Sygic.
I have Poweramp V3 installed, which should Support this Audiofocus thing, so i guess Sygic is the problem.
Has anyone similar issues?
Or even a solution?

TomTom 7 ?

Does anybody know if the PPC version of TomTom 7 will goes out ?
Following some information's I've read, TomTom will not sell this version "in the box" but some company may deliver a v7 version with their device.
Also read that HTC will deliver this with the Diamond.
Thx in advance for your feedback.

According to Tomtom, the availability of version 7 is unknow.
However, some people have ripped the HTC Diamond version which is illegal and no new maps are available that works with the ripped version although some people claims that the maps of release 6.75 works but they are out off date. Conclusion: May be that you can get an illegal version of Tomtom 7, but it will not support the latest maps.
Therefore, if you want navigation with the latest maps consider to use IGO8.

People in the Diamond forum and Kasier forum have download and purchased the version 7 maps from the tom tom 720 and they work with the ripper tt7

hello !
I have installed tomtom 7 and works great on my polaris with map france_720_1802 ..
Really speed this tomtom, but i try igo8 and looks very good with more options !
TT7
I've installed TT7 with the West_European_720_1803 map.
It works but it isn't Navigon (which I prefer).

TT7 works, but i cant get any 7 maps to work... strange...

No you cant. But why do you want to keep version 6? Version 7 works better, works with newer maps... why keep with the old stuff?
I have TT6 running WE 6.75 and use a lot, so am more than interested in upgrading.
3 Qs
1. What are the new features of TT7? Is it worth it? Is it really faster? One feature I would really like in particular: does TT7 have the ability to give a voice warning of being over the speed limit?
2. Do we ever expect TT to release this formally for PDAs?
3. Do you also need to update TomTom Home to 2.x? (TT6 only worked with TT Home 1.x).
Thanks
Q1: you can give a sound to warning over speed so i guess a voice too.
Q2&Q3 dont know

Hi,
I have it running on the poor mans Polaris (Artemis) and it works just as well as TT6.
1. The new features I have noticed are
i You can now disable auto zoom, so you can set a zoom level you like and it won't change.
ii You can set a warning both for going over the speed limit or for a speed defined by you.
iii You can change the pointer to your car of choice.
iv It displays the road you are on as well as the next road when following a route.
v the speed warning is now red background with white text so is easier to read (was red on blue before).
vi Has access to MapShare (I can't get this to work as I have it installed purely on my SD card but other forum users report it works).
2. No idea.
3. You need to use TT Home ver 2.3
Overall it is not a major improvement on TT6 but there are a few bits. Due to the size of its installation (over 12mb) I can't fit it on my device storage but it runs fine on the SD card. However, this does prevent it from connecting to TT Home. However, I intend to change my Artemis for a MDA Compact IV or an Orbit 2 so that problem should be easy to fix.
Regards
Thanks spangelsaregreat and le poulpe for replies.
As I use mine in my pocket via earplugs on my motorbike, and hence never look at the screen (and hence my interest in voice/audio features) it doesn't look like there is much more in TT7, except of course the speed warning.
just tested tomtom v7.450.9028 on my polaris with tt7.20 and tt7.15 maps. it works great and even faster then tomtom6

Touch Diamond 2 and navigators

I got my D2 one month ago but, till now, it has been not possible to install any navigator. I tried copilot live, coming in bundle with the phone, then I tried Navigon in demo version (30 days), but no one worked. I don't get any error message, simply, after the installation, the program doesn't start and freezes the phone. I tried to do a hard reset and I reinstalled it, with no other programs than the default ones, with the same, bad results. Can someone help me?
IGO and Mobile XT can run on my topaz with WM 6.1 and WM 6.5(Tom Topaz ROM)
iGo 8 and TomTom 7 work just fine and are probably the best navigation software at the moment...
Im running TT7 and Mobile XT works like a charm
using NDrive...and works very well
TomTom, iGO8 and iGO amigo
See my signature. all 3 working fine, TT is a little bit stretched out because of the WVGA screen but works fine.
iGO 8.3.x Fatal Error - Exception: 0xc0000094 At address: 0x03fad178
Hi all,
Meanwhile I've tested some different iGO 8.3.x builds (83157/87762/91972/92992) which all use to crash (sooner or later) with the same error message (as mentioned above).
This happens sometimes every 5 minutes or it doesn't happen for a couple of days (with trips not longer than around 30 minutes).
At one day for instance I had 4 crashes on my way to a customer (around 240 km) and "only" one on my way back (and this one after 10 minutes of travelling and then no crash for two hours).
I've tried different skins (or the default one) as well as different settings concerning the terrain details.
Sometimes it seemed to me to happen quite offen when I was receiving a call. But today I was navigating for two hours and received many calls without any crashes.
I would be very thankful for every helpful hint. Probably somebody of you could tell me about a iGO package (build/data.zip/branding.zip/skin/sys.txt) that is working ok with a TD2.
By the way: I'm using TMC with a GNS TrafficBoxplus FM9BT-Y.
AutoMapa
Navigation system AutoMapa Europa XL 5.5 works very good on Topaz. It is best like igo8 .
TomTom and TD2 no GPS

It´s works fine with Google Maps and IGO..

I have been using TT7(v.7.915.9196) and iGo8(v.8.3.2.71348) from my Diamond, Blackstone and my Topaz but i find Copilot 7 more compatible with this device, no lag and small memory footprint.

I had a lot of trouble with Copilot: the trial version didn't make a difference in types of roads. It sends me through sandroads and living-areas where it doesn't need to. I prefer Tomtom but the lag problem gave me troubles also (tt giving wrong speeds, stopping to work and needing a restart, wrong positioning).
I now use Igo8 and that's the 1 that works fine for me! (but al small lag also).
I use Destinator 7 and it works fine.

Haven't you forgotten something? As far as I know, TT doesn't work in the official version which is offered by TT on their website e.g. on microSD.
This means one has to rely on a cracked version to make it run on D2 or its T-Mobile clone.
Or has TT lastly presented a legal version to be run on Topaz?
I'm struggling with this too and I think I will have to use hacked maps until it's officially supported. Reason being is I am not being given an activation code as I downloaded directly to my TD1 using the officially supported software
What TT7 version and maps are you guys using? PM links please?
Navigon works fine
I've got Navigon MN7.4.2 build 802 with Q2-Europe maps running fine on it. Only mistake it has is, that road signs with lots of names on not fit perfect. Means the names not all fit on the sign, but this doesn't matter for me ^^
I'm running Garmin Mobile XT (v5.00.20) with no problems . Speech works fine, but yet to try it via bluetooth.

[CAR AUDIO] XTRONS TD620A - 6.2” Android HD w/ Multi-touch

Just bought and installed this 2-DIN headunit! So awesome to finally have Android in the dash. So far it seems great.
LIKES:
Multi-touch is a nice touch
Able to install my own apks without connecting to the Play Store
Finally get to use Live Wallpapers without worrying about battery drain
Customizability
Built in fan
DISLIKES:
Start up time kinda sucks
Wifi seems to trip out when downloading via phone tether
Ipod icon in the dock (how clueless is that?? Android and Apple aren't friends)
*Actually to be honest, I kinda understand it. A lot of people use their ipods/iphones to listen to their music. My major gripe about this though is that- I CAN'T GET RID OF IT! I don't want an Ipod app on my Android. I would like to figure out how to get rid of it. I'd much rather put my bluetooth icon in the doc.
So far I've installed Skype, Space Colony Live Wallpaper, Maps With Me, and RecForge Lite. I haven't tried TB or Root Explorer yet, as I don't have root access (yet!). It comes preinstalled with Gmail, Email, Angry Birds Rio, Radio (the FM Radio app), EZ File Explorer and several other apps. It runs really smooth for the most part.
Anyone else have this unit yet? Anyone tried rooting it yet? Please share your experience in this thread.
Just for reference, the stock system versions are as follows:
CPU Information
Freescale i.MX53
RAM Information
512M DDR3 800
Android Version
2.3.7
MCU Version
2.10.9-1-10-1
System Version
2.20.21
DVD Version
2.13.11-1200wb
What is interesting is I was able to access my root directory and files without rooting my device. However, when I checked with Root Checker Basic, it said my device was not rooted. And I'm unable to mount R/W. I was able to copy the system/app folder with no problem though. Is this typical of non-rooted devices?

So far I'm pretty happy with it. The start-up time is a little slow, but other than that, it does pretty much everything I want it to do. I was able to install a different launcher that's more customizable and more to my taste. I've been able to connect to internet and Gmail and the playstore without any problem. I haven't had any problem installing apps (except for when I was intentionally trying to install apps that I knew wouldn't work... ie. Samsung apps). No major complaints. Overall a great purchase!

I just purchased this unit off Newegg and I'm really looking forward to seeing what it can do. I was curious if you ever got root access worked out? I would love to see this get some more attention from devs and really show what android in-dash is capable of!

Got mine installed few days ago. So far so good. Boot time is around 45sec, not a really big problem for me as i do drive more then one min every trip. The default audio player sucks. The unit always runs the default player automatically at the beginning. Every time you have to stop the music b4 you switch to other player. Kinda annoying.
question
I bought the same model XTRONS. I have a question I have downloaded the launcher? Is there any other Bluetooth dial? Because the original is dramatic.

[Q] Recomendations for best GPS App

I like using Google Navigation, but it has been messed up every since they tried to update it and make it better. Since their update to their newer navigation, it no longer works at all. My phone never finds the GPS signal. If I downgrade Google navigation back to how it used to be it works great. But it's a pain because it always updates itself with all my other apps when I update them. I've already researched this problem and it appears to be a well known issue with the new version of the app and now one appears to know how to fix it.
As a result, I was hoping someone on here could make a recommendation for a different GPS app that they think is really good. I would prefer free. But I would be willing to buy one if it really works good. Please let me know what you suggest. Thanks.
Ok, The best two navigation apps which works offline( only GPS needed) are Sygic and City Go
I use Sygic which i feel is the best!

General Joying Android 8.1 Intel Airmont eight-core 1.8GHz SC9853i (4GB RAM, 32GB flash)

I just found new kind of devices on Joyings website and did not yet find any posts about it.
The Android 8.1 based devices are again Intel based, no Rockchip PX5 anymore.
CPU: Intel Airmont eight-core 1.8GHz SC9853i
RAM: LPDDR4 4GB
Flash: Samsung 32GB
Several display sizes are available, all still with the known 1024x600 resolution.
The CPU is an outcome of a cooperation by Intel and Speadtrum (see https://www.anandtech.com/show/12592/intels-last-atom-in-smartphones-a-2018-benchmark),
and another Atom 64-bit architecture spinoff (see https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/microarchitectures/airmont).
The GPU is a dual core Arm Mali-T820 GPU.
Anyone that had a chance to get hands on such a device and could make a comparision to the current PX5 based devices?
EDITs:
How to root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../howto-root-joying-sc9853i-head-unit-t3915530

No Android Auto does not work. At least the way its supposed to. You can install it on the unit if you have WiFi tether, but that defeats the point. Also the EasyConnected app will not work. Joying said that they were working on getting Android Auto working, so maybe in the next update.
My wife has a PX5 and I had the SoFIA model. This one is much faster. It still has problems like the WiFi randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Only 1 SD card slot and it has randomly disconnected at times as well.

Hello

I was faced with this issue as well. The play store would only show Poweramp v2 so I searched the Poweramp forums and it turns out that Intel (x86) hardware is only supported by v2 and support was dropped in v3 and would only support ARM hardware.
However, I posted a question on the forum which you can see here: https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/16541-intel-based-car-head-unit/ and as you can see I have got it working although I'm still not sure why.
In summary, just uninstall v2, download the v3 apk from here https://powerampapp.com/download-poweramp/ and install it and it should run fine. Then just install the unlocker from the play store as normal (assuming you have the paid version) and it works fine. I'm now running Poweramp v3 on my Intel based Joying unit with no issues whatsoever. Just remember to turn off auto update for Poweramp in the play store otherwise I think it will 'upgrade' it to v2 again.
As I said though, I really don't know how it's working as others have said that they cannot get it to run at all on other Intel based hardware.
Hope this works for you.

I was faced with this issue as well. The play store would only show Poweramp v2 so I searched the Poweramp forums and it turns out that Intel (x86) hardware is only supported by v2 and support was dropped in v3 and would only support ARM hardware.
However, I posted a question on the forum which you can see here: https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/16541-intel-based-car-head-unit/ and as you can see I have got it working although I'm still not sure why.
In summary, just uninstall v2, download the v3 apk from here https://powerampapp.com/download-poweramp/ and install it and it should run fine. Then just install the unlocker from the play store as normal (assuming you have the paid version) and it works fine.

I'm glad it's working.
I'm afraid I have no idea regarding the volume issue. It's not something I've noticed but I may just be anaware of it. Where are you trying to set the volume, on the main unit volume buttons or somewhere in Poweramp itself.

I've not touched those settings in Poweramp, I just use the main unit volume & equaliser. I'll have a look later today and report back.
