Hi, i've installed Malaysk v4 rom and it worked fine for a couple of weeks. Now i've a big problem: buttons on mtcd and buttons on steeringwheel not working at all! CanBus work fine because i can see climatronic info on display. When i receive a call unit don't switch to bluetooth page. What do you think i can try before reset unit?
I've another bug: when unit power on it go to homescreen, then reboot and after that work
reinstall the rom over itself you wont lose any apps or settings and it should fix it, I had this same exact circumstance happen. It also happens if I use the reboot menu instead of just letting the unit shut down and turn back on
I am running the v4 rom if that matters.
Thank you for reply, 3 daus ago i've reset my unit. Next time i'll have this issue i will try your suggestion

Hi,
after upgrading to WM 6.1 a first while everything was ok. But after a while suspending didn't work - when pressing the power switch nothing happens. After about an hour the display goes black and I can't get the pda to work any more without a soft reset. But when I receive a phone call or an sms, the display gets bright again and I can continue working.
Do you know how to fix that?
Thank you in advance!!
is it a ROM issue? the ROM you installed might be helpful to some here.
Hi,
I tried the original O² (German) Rom, the newest O² (German) Rom and the newest "Kitchen" - no matter what Rom I choose the problem still persists
I just detected the source of the problem: The powerswitch doesn't work any more - I can't event turn the device on or off by pressing it.
I don't want to send it back because that needs so much time and I don't have any replacement for the 3-4 weeks it need.
Do you have any ideas what else I can try (without endanger the warrenty)?
Thank you so much in advance!
You know I never use that button. Used to use it regularly when I first got the phone but not anymore. However, is there a way to turn on the phone without that button. I would send it back in but might be worth to see if any other guys here have ideas.
power button issues
got the same problem with my orbit 2, the power button has gone west. pain in the rear as it drains the battery fast, even with the backlight off. anyone any ideas for a fix, would rather not be without my phone for any length of time
cheers

OK so I downloaded & installed the latest OTA update (RV23RC03; 1.057) with the power mode choices, and it has completely destroyed my touch screen response! I previously had ZERO problem with this- every key press registered on both the original ROM and the 1st update. Since the latest update, everything takes 2 or 3 presses, sometimes VERY firmly, many times still without registering. This totally sux
Is anyone else having this issue? I should note that I do have a matte screen protector on; this previously caused NO problems.
Is there an easy reasonably safe way to revert back to the 1st update (RV07RC06; 1.029)? A link and/or instructions appreciated. Thanks.
Acer, are you out there? This exact issue occurred with my A510 on its 1st update, after which it became nearly unusable for me. Since it was < 30 days I was able to return it. No such luck this time. Why are these updates doing this? It's driving me nuts!
No issues with touch on update. It seems to be running better actually.
Try to completely reset thru recovery with wipe data maybe.
More specific instructions

That's so amazing. I went from no problem at all, to I can hardly use this any more; only thing that changed was the update.
Can you please be specific about how to reset through recovery. (Step-by-step if possible) and how to wipe data.
Thanks.
You can reset data thru settings/privacy but you will lose everything and start fresh.
I'll check on the other method later on for you.
Also turn up touch sensitivity in settings/display if you haven't...
Edit - it appears that the stock recovery doesnt have those options.
You can still reset by inside ICS like above, or...
Factory Reset:
WARNING: reset will start immediately
Volume button (one dot) and Power button, once buzzes release power button and then toggle the rotation switch on and off a few times
Yes of course, I have set screen sensitivity to high. I think I'd rather go back to 1st update, rather than wipe everything (I do have a backup but it's still a hassle). I can't believe no one else is having this problem.
Any idea how to revert to last update?
Someone in a german android forum mentioned that it help on his device after the update to set the sensitivity to the lowest setting and then back to middle or high.
I tried playing with sensitivity settings, turning on/off,resetting and no luck.
I actually found the ROM from before the update on this website and flashed it as update.zip with vol +power. It worked, I now have 1.029 back and touch screen works perfectly. I'm sorry to lose power management but i think I'll stay where I am . Don't ask me about a Jellybean update; I'll want it but after this I'll be afraid to try it. If anyone has an explanation for this i'd love to hear it.
I have a Huawei G510, at first I had it with stock ROM and it was sick, too slow and problems with microphone etc...
I installed a new ROM that was clean and runs smooth, after 2 weeks my phone started pressing menu or home buttons by itself sometimes, the problem kept occurring from time to time and I factory reset it everything became fine. after several days the problem appeared again without stopping as soon as I unlock it it starts pressing home,back,menu buttons by itself. I tried another ROM(cyanogen 10.1 android 4.2) and the problem still occurs even with nothing installed on my phone, didn't even set up GMAIL yet, after that the buttons stopped working at all, I downloaded a softkey app and after 1 day the problem appeared again. It is really annoying i've tried everything I can but it seems to be a hardware software, I'd like to stop the buttons from functioning if it's possible and use the softkeys app.
All the buttons, including the volume knob stop working.
It has happened several times on my android 5.1.1/mtcd/joying unit.
When it happens the boot process is strange. It spends a while displaying the car logo, then it displays the desktop for a second or so and then it displays the car logo again. It sort of looks like it boots twice.
Wiping the dalvik cache does not fix the problem. I have to factory reset or wipe everything from recovery to get the buttons working again.
I am currently using malaysk rom for MTCD units but I had exactly the same issue on the stock rom.
I think the problem is related to autostarting apps on reboot.
Today it happened after I installed the Sygic speed camera/traffic alert app. Everything worked fine for a while, until I chose to auto start it (from the settings menu inside the Sygic app), rebooted, and the buttons no longer worked.
To check if the autostart option really caused the problem I installed the app again, chose to auto start from the settings inside the app, and the same thing happened. Buttons no longer worked.
The issue is not specific to Sygic, as I have had the same issue with other apps.
Now I use tasker to autostart the app. It has survived a few reboots. I hope it lasts.
Does anyone understand the boot process on these units well enough to help debug it further?
It would be nice if I could fix it the next time it happens, instead of having to wipe/reinstall everything.
It seemed to be completely random for me... and it stopped happening as randomly as it started.
I posted the process I went through to get them back (reboot, reboot to recovery, reboot again, etc) but very intermittent.
I experience this whenever I reboot from the power icon in the taskbar. It seems to have started after upgrading to Malaysk's version 4. I have verified this on two Joying units. My workaround is to reboot with the reset button when I have to.
I have not had any apps autostart since the last time it happened, but the buttons stopped working again a few days later, and the "double boot" came back also. The reset button did not help.
A factory reset from the settings menu made the buttons work again.
I was using the latest joying rom and MCU. Spotify, iGo navigation (from joying) and the TomTom speed camera app were the only "extras" installed if I remember correctly.
I am about to give up on the (JY-UL135) head unit now. Unless someone has suggestions on what to do.

xdamember2, i think you are right. Power icon in the task bar is the root of evil.
Today i've had the same experience. But with the buttons, the sound had also disappeared. Pushing hardware reset button had fixed the problem.
So I suggest to remove power icon from the task bar.
This happened to me yesterday, but as well as buttons/steering wheel control, all sound output stopped working! No radio, music or navigation sounds. Tried a reboot, but in the end only a factory reset did the trick as specified previously.
Very frustrating!
This happened to me again today for the second time. While driving the screen turned to white/black static like moving artifacts and the sound cut off. After holding the power button to reset the buttons are not working. I'll update to Malaysk's Rom v5 now but looks like my apps are wiped again...
i've been on v5 for the past few days and i haven't witnessed this behavior.
Any luck with the buttons and sound stop working? It`s the same with version 6 of this ROM which i like way better then the stock ROM. I`v noticed that any other reboot except the standard one, when the HU shuts off by it self, will make buttons unusable and no sound. The first time it happen to me was when i did some changes in the "factory settings" menu that needed to reboot the device. The only way i managed to fix it was to do a factory reset. Tomorrow will try to flash the same ROM (V6) without wiping to see if this will fix it,because they don`t work again now after rebooting from the power icon . Lets hope someone finds solution for this annoying issue.
MY FIX for Volume knob not working on Android Head Unit
Hi All
I updated my generic Ford Focus PX5 android head unit, and after much swearing and reading on here, I still was unable to fix the top left volume and top right tuning rotary knobs as they had stopped responding.
Eventually i started mucking about with Factory Settings and in the "OTHER" section I looked at "Knob Mode"
Experimenting with the various settings I eventually determined that for me, "2 10K/20K ADC Ports" works. I now have fully functioning controls.
I hope this is of some help to you guys!
I had been fooling with the settings of my Android head unit and some days later realized my volume knob wasn't working. That knob was a big factor in my purchase of this unit. After fooling with a dozen or more logical sounding settings, I happened upon the setting which had to do with 'Key lights'. Here's the fix:
From 'Settings' go to 'Factory Settings' and enter code 8888. Go to 'Key Light Settings'. On 'please open the debug button lamps' press 'OK", slide the screen up and turn off 'whether to turn on the colorful lights'. Back on out and the volume should now be working. Hope this helps

I recently bought a new android head unit. All are working well except the original volume knob of the car. Sometimes i must turn it 4-5 clicks for the volume to move 1 click, and other times i may turn it 10-15 clicks and the volume does not respond at all. This is very frustrating! I found a solution on youtube which says factory settings-other- and uncheck the wheel3 option, but my head unit doesn't have this option at all. I hope your solution will help me!
Update : I searched for this solution you mentioned but this option does not exist in my factory settings with 8888 code. Only car logo. I dont know what to do....
My MTCD unit touchscreen or soft buttons don't work after wake up after key off.
I have to key on - key off 3-5 times before they work. Once they are working unit performs perfectly until the next key cycle.
I think it's a software issue but is it Firmware or MCU
I am seeing the same intermittent problem with my PX5 unit, screen is black and push buttons do not work, cannot enter recovery mode either, then for no apparent reason it will work normally for a while.
I suspect there is a hardware fault with mcu or maybe even some other failing component or poor soldering. I have raised the issue with the seller but would be interested to hear from others as to what they think the likely cause may be or what can be checked to narrow down the problem.
As far as I can tell the battery and acc voltages are good but 7805 and 7809 regulators do not appear to be powering up in my case?
Mine isn't as bad as the unit will continue to play music from the point key is off and steering wheel controls still function.
Hello, did you manage to solve the problem? I have the same issue after upgrading from PX3 to PX5. The unit works fine after booting (if the power is disconnected). The problem is after wake up, since it does not support to turn it completely off any more.
Did you do something before it happening (e.g. a firmware update, mcu, or?).
Thank you.
I have the same issue with my new GS PX5. Before I had another one which hadn't this problem.
My problem seems to have been solved by updating the MCU to HA 2.61. Now the menu to control shutdown behavior shows up in the Extra settings and I chose the 30 sec delay.
Not sure if auto sleep works too, need to try.
Alex.
My top soft buttons stopped working.Everything else work ok but all the top softbuttons doped working. What can I do?
