Help needed, Headunit defective or buggy? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Hi community.
This is my first post, so please be nice. I just got my first Headunit and i am having some trouble. It´s an Xtrons TE706PL (MTCE Oreo).
The first problem is WIFI. When starting the connection is always good. But after a few minutes of inactivity its is going down to nearly nothing. In this moment the head unit is on my desk only two meters distance to my router and it gives me only 0.5mbit/sec.
The second problem is USB and SD. I cannot see any pluged in devices in USB or SD-Card slot. The File Manager does not detect them. Only with ES File Explorer I can see the devices pluged in USB and use the files. SD-Slot seemes to be completely dead. But this cannot be right, can it?
So please help me. Did I get a defective Headunit, should I send it back? Or is the software so buggy and I should try another software?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: If I don´t connect with Bluetooth the Wifi seems to work. Strange!

Probably you have a md725 bt module (is a rtl8723 wifi+bt chip) that some guys reported to be interfering bt and Wi-Fi signals.
(Check which bt module is set up on factory settings)

The factory settings say: WQ_BC6
Maybe it would help to use a seperate bt/wifi dongle.
Some people here seem to be successful with the Comfast CF-WU725B.

Problems with COM PORT 1

Hi there,
I was using Mapopolis GPS software ver 3.20 on my SX-56 and it was working fine with the GPS reciever being picked up on COM 1. Suddenly one fine day, the Mapopolis software would not work at all and the phone for some reason would not detect the reciever on COM 1. I re-booted, re-installed and eventually blew my ROM and thus the phone entirely trying to work the GPS but to no avail. I kept trying since when I connect the GPS reciever even now directly to my laptop, it still works fine so I assume there is nothing wrong with the GPS unit itself!
I have just bought a new T-Mobile WM 2003 unit and after installing mapopolis on it, it still is not working on the GPS and giving me the exact same problem. I have put it on "autodetect" and it goes in a loop on the COM Ports and starts from COM3, then COM8 and then COM9 then back all over again...it does not even start from COM1...when I remove "autodetect" and set it on COM 1, it keeps saying detecting and nothing happens, I've left it like that for more than an hour!
I'm just wondering why it was working before and not anymore? Any suggestion or ideas are more than welcome! Are any program trying to block the COM1? If so, how do I get rid of them or free the COM1? I'm stuck...
Thanks.
Try to deactivate the beam of IR port.
Or take a look if the Activesync doesn't use the com port.
It you're using a IR external Keyboard deactivate it...
Bye, M.
Re: COM Problem
Sir,
You are a king!!! Just saved me from blowing up yet another fantantic PDA!!! I don't know how to thank you, it was the IR port occupying the COM and it is working great now after I disabled it!!! Just a small question for you, is it possible to fix my old PDA which I totally messed up because of re-setting etc etc.? I have the problem posted on:

tv tuner
Is it possible to use mda2 as a monitor to watch tv out of home, connecting it to an usb-tv tuner?
Re:
I doubt it since the USB-TV Tuner would require a USB port for a connect through and I do not know of PDA which have that, but then I may be wrong....

Activesync problem

Hi.
When i connect my touch pro to my laptop my touch pro thinks he is charging. I tried another laptop/cabel/ROM but it doens't matter.
I can't get a connection with my phone.
Any idea's?
Don't you get asked, what to do, when you connect the TP to your laptop?
Maybe it connects as Harddisk? Do you get a removable device in your laptops file explorer after connecting?
Check settings of your TP in connections - USB to PC.

Hi,
No, i don't get asked and the settings are good.
It's strange, because it is suddenly.
I had this problem last week and it turned out to be the cable I was using....but I guess you already tried that. How many cables you try? Maybe get another one and try it...

Well, i tried 3 different cables. The only thing i changed is the cable in my car. last week i was i Italy and by car charger has gone dead. And i buyed another one. that's all..
Anyone?...
hardreset?
Hard-reset, new ROM, new Radio... nothing helps
Reinstall activesync.
Try another laptop/computer.
Otherwise I don't know.

Deed.. nothing
Maybe you can find some new ideas here.
my phone sometimes just charges without activesync but that's only when i have wifi on 0.o if i turn wifi off then the phone syncs.
No luck... tried everything.
Well,I have similar issue with AS.
It starts suddenly and now I am unable to connect.
When I have enabled "Faster data synchronization",then the green icon keeps rotating for a while,but ends with an errormessage. When I uncheck it,AS absolutely doesn't see TP,no attempt.
My cable is working,because I am synchronizing also a HTC Hurricane(SDA2) without any problems.
I have also tried another PC,no luck,same symptoms.
Mass Storage and Internet sharing is working also perfectly.
Mainly I tought,that the IP connection is firewalled,but when it doesn't work also on another PC,that was working before,I have no more ideas.

Xtrons Wifi and Bluetooth issues with PE98MTVPL Octacore Oreo Headunit

I recently purchased a PE98MTVPL, headunit.
Generally happy with it but there are a couple of issues.
1. It initially connected to my wifi, but now it won't even see the router. I started by not re-connecting to the router. I told it to forget the router so I could try and get it to reconnect and now it doesn't even display my router in the list, but it does offer me other people's routers to connect to though. My phone is getting full signal from the router when I am in the van next to it.
I've tried doing a network reset, but it doesn't work - the system retains all the old network information.
I've also tried doing a factory reset and that does nothing at all.
2. I have been able to connect one phone and the ODBII dongle via bluetooth, but it won't let me pair anything else, even though the bluetooth is registering that a device is available.
Again network reset and factory reset don't seem to get rid of anything.
3. The DAB reception is good when stationary both with the engine on and off. But when moving there is loads of feedback whine whenever the steering wheel is turned, which makes it pretty much useless.
What did Xtrons support suggest?
No response as yet. I have asked them the same question. Will post their response when I get it in case it helps anyone else.
So the response from Xtrons was to send me a link to a firmware update file. I've downloaded and tried to install, but the update fails at the 'mcu update' stage. I've asked Xtrons for advice but no response. I suspect the update fail is something to do with how the files are structured on the SD card after I've unzipped them. Any advice?

I have the Xtrons PE88jccpl (Android 8, Octa Core) sometimes the wifi connects perfectly but other times getting authenticating, authentication errors. Also, having problems with the speed when its connected it starts out fast and perfect but slows down to .2 to .3 mbps after a couple of minutes. Xtrons support sent me a link to update and I updated both MCU and android but still getting issues. (I put the img and update.zip on a usb stick and once I inserted it asked if I wanted to update) Not sure if I am supposed to wipe the device after updating android

Sounds like you did the right thing. I've still had wifi issues with my mobile hotspot since the last update so no progress.

Format your SD card in FAT32, then copy the dmcu.img on on your card (nothing else should be on there). Once you pop the card in it should automatially ask you if you want to update. If not go to settings, there is a button "mcu update" try that. If that doesnt work go to recovery mode and choose mcu update.

Yes unfortunately this does not work well on these units. I have tried it with different wifi sticks and different phones, It never runs stable. I ve also tried variuos MCU versions and ROMS (stock and custom).As soon as you disconnect it (eg leaving the car) it might not reconnect (sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt). What helps is to change the password for the hotspot and then reconnect with the correct password. IN that case it somehow goes through the whole registration routine again and almost always connects. But obviosuly thats not a convenient solution. It is an extreme shame that something so simple does not work on these units. Using a 3g stick (not using wifi) works slightly better but still incredibly unfortunate and not understandable that this is not properly implemented. Every smartphone in this world can access the internet through a simcard without any problems:crying:
I recently updated and wiped the android and mcu provided by Xtrons, its reconnecting successfully finally after sleep. However, I am getting speed issues still, after a couple of minutes of driving it slows down to .2 to .4 mbps.
has anyone tried using usb wifi dongle?

Do you mean a 3G/4G plug in one? I've thought about it, but my current phone supplier won't let me have an extra sim. If you mean an external wifi unit instead of the built in one, then no I haven't. The box only has two USB inputs, and one of those is for my DAB+, and the other I use for connecting phones etc. I don't know if it would help though.
The problem seems to me to be something to do with the way the unit is handling IP addressing. I don't know if an external wifi unit would change that. When I gave my the Xtrons unit a fixed IP address on my home router it would re-connect without any issue. For some reason the head unit doesn't seem happy with the IP address changing.
I got TE706PL and the wifi turns itself off I have done the firmware and mcu update and it still does the same thing

[SOLVED] I can’t turn ON my Wi-Fi... Need help

I have update my mtce px3 Android 7.1 MTCE with a px5 Android 6 and charged malaysk rom based on Android 8.0... but afther that i can’t turn ON my Wi-Fi. Bluetooth working perfect... all the thing working good.. only Wi-Fi don’t wont to turn on. if i try to start a wifi hotspot i get an error
Thanks to the people who can help me ?
edit:
I solved my problem by buying a new px5 upgrade kit, with preinstalled oreo 8.0 .. now before working on this new px5 I will try to install the same rom (provided you find it) on the previous px5, and I will update you on the result
Does your usb port(s) also stoped working?
Which MCU version are you running?
Did you preform a full wipe after flashing?
What are your current factory settings? Are those correct for your board?
Can you provide a logcat?

Full wipe before and after flashing the rom, cache wipe, i’ve Made a reset from the setting mod in car related...
How i can Made a logcat? Can you tel me how i hate to do!? Thanks
Any one can help me? Any suggestion?
Lets see if we can find out why it is not working use this app to email yourself a full logcat:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog
Secondly do you want to connect your hu to the internet through wifi. Or do you have a sim in your hu and do you want to share the data inside the car.
If it is the first you should only turn on wifi, if it is the second you should turn wifi off an only tetering on. On most wifi chips these functions can not be used simultainiously.
I suspect you need to select the right wifi chip in factory settings for the wifi to work after the board swap and mcu update.

Reinstalled temporarily the px3 and wifi working... reinstalled another time the px5 and wifi don’t work
As you can see in the image, if I reinstall px3 wifi work good.
May this can help you. With Oreo some head untis doesn't awake the internal usb-hub ...
But:
Hal9k: If you have a Bluetooth module MD725 type 2, it will not work in Android 8, although Android 6 works.
The reason is that from Android 8 its driver was removed.
How do you know if you have such a module?
On the first page of the factory settings in the BT item, MD725
The command getprop bt.md725.type, executed in the terminal, answers "2"

I tried the method you suggested but unfortunately for me it does not work .. it seems that the px5 does not want to know to communicate with the wifi module ... I understand that my head unit is equipped with a wifi chip
REALTEK RTL8188ETV
if I go in
"CAR RELATED SETTING" then on factory setting
TO THE BLUETOOTH MODULE I see:
WQ_BC5
DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT DOES NOT WORK, IF REINSTALLING THE PX3 WORKS ALL CORRECTLY, WHILE WITH THE PX5 THE WIFI CONTINUES NOT TO BE ACTIVATED

			
				
I tried them all now and I still have the px3 that works properly including wi-fi while If I install the PX5 there is no way to make the wi-fi work .. it seems that I do not see the form and I can not understand why. I also noticed that on the px5 is missing the file system / bin / sdsdk.bin, I tried to copy it from my px3 but without results ... (I simply copied the file, doing nothing else) Someone can help me Thanks
I got the same error. Today I got a new px5 board from the seller. Problem is I desoldered the internal wifi chip and an external USB wifi dongle doesn't work. Later in I'll try to resolder the original chip and see if it works. If it works then, there seems to be a problem with the px5 board. When I got the unit new everything worked flawlessly after 3 month it began to turn off the wifi sometimes, but it could be turned back on. Some time later it was totally dead. Turning on didn't worked at all
Quick Update: Soldered the Wifi Module back into it's place. Still Wifi can't be turned on. It's really frustrating.

I am facing similar problem. Here is the youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysQYn9B-a-Y
Tried a lot of things to fix this thing, ended up updating firmware to "[ROM][PX3][RK3188][Nougat][7.1.2] Hal9k ROM 2 for ALL RK3188/PX3 MTCD/E head units" but nothing fixed problem.
Solved !!!
I bought another px5 with pre-installed Android 8 ... and with this everything works !!! including Wi-Fi???? now I'll try to find the rom that is installed on this px5 and install it on the other ... let's see how it goes

File transfer over USB?

I can't seem to get MTP working with the phone. Whatever cable I use, including the OEM cable, the phone just starts charging. USB settings in Settings -> Connected devices are greyed out. On every other phone I ever used, when connected via USB, a notification shows up asking what to do with the connection (charge, MTP, PTP, etc.), said notification is not here. Anyone else having the same issue?
Edit: googled around, might be an Android issue. Nice. I guess I'll have to use the 3.5mm jack to listen to music in my car now, great.

And a few more. The only solution apparently *maybe* is to buy a 3rd party cable.
Edit: after writing this post I decided to try again and lo and behold... It works now. For reasons of I don't friggin know. All cables that didn't work before now work just fine for charging and data transfer between my PC and the phone. Unfortunately my car HU keeps disconnecting and reconnecting the USB, which is a bummer because that's the reason I actually care about file transfer.
I am using Android Pie on my Mi A1 from Christmas 2018 and I never had a problem with MTP, it worked fine with all monthly security updates.
Works as expected here for me at least, with the prompt and everything.
Just tried it out for myself on my work laptop. Connected via a 3rd party micro-USB cable with micro-USB-to-USB-C adapter (so one of the more "fragile" ways to connect) and it directly popped up the question of whether to allow file transfers. After that, the phone was normally browsable on the computer and the USB connection notification that allows for mode-switching is present.

So one can conclude that problem is in your phone, FR will cure it probably.

Perhaps actually more with the unit in the car.. From my understanding the buggy file-transfer is between the phone and the car's unit?
