Is bluetooth audio delay fixable? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

I recently purchased a PX5-based MTCE unit (Xtrons TE103AP for those wondering) and I honestly like it except the fact that it has a severe audio delay in bluetooth I contacted xtrons regarding this but they haven't replied yet (been ~3 days) and I've updated the MCU from V2.9 to V3 (GS) along with a system update that pushed the security patch date 2017 to oct 2018 but the issue persists.
Is there a solution to this problem?

Anyone can shed light on this issue?

PX5 Upgrade problem

Hi All,
Ive just installed the PX5 upgrade to my joying Radio.
Got to say, its a lot faster than before, but ive noticed a problem with Spotify which i didnt had before.
It seems like everytime the device is working, the sound starts to stutter.
Theres an example:
https://youtu.be/lzHrBPQZsnw
I definetaly didnt had that before...
And also, when the device is cold( first start within an hour or so) i get some strange lines on my display. They will dissapear within 5 or 10 minutes... any ideas about this?

Thanks for your help
I have a little stutter in Spotify, but it has only 2 or 3 times, when I just started the app. After that it's gone. Did the same update from px3 to px5 on my joyous.
The lines I don't know...
Did you update mcu ? Don't know if that's got to do with anything ?

Also tried malaysk custom rom... same problems there...
Did the stuttering and lines appear with px5 installed and joying mcu?

Is this unique to just Spotify for you? I get this same type of stutter for a second or two randomly with basically any type of playback that doesn't involve the radio, which for whatever reason is unaffected.
This stuttering seems to be more frequent the more I try to do with the unit, eg open other apps, use something that involves data transfer, etc.

No, i also get it on every other Audio source, but it seems like ive got it most on Spotify.
The main Problem i wont use bluetooth is the "poor" quality of the sound.

I'm on native Dasaita PX5, no upgrade. It is interesting, however, that you experience the same problem with your PX5 unit. Seems to be very much hit or miss from the responses I've seen here.

Hm thats rly interesstyng....
Ive also thought it could be a heat problem but ive also switched the thermal paste on the heat sink --> no difference..
im currently thinking to switch to an Joying Sofia device since i dont want to go back to a slower rk3811 device..
What units are experiencing this issue? Maybe we can narrow it down. It might be a hardware issue. I have a KGL unit, going to see if anyone with a KGL has any issues.

I have original Dasaita HotAudio PX5 unit and Spotify stutters the same way. I've seen others mentioning it too. So ... it is not because you made the upgrade yourself - but it's just the current nature of the PX5 + Android 6, etc. combo. I just flashed the latest MCU version 2.56 and the stutter is still there.
I didn't have such stutter with my previous unit (KLD PX3 with KitKat)

Has anyone else got the January update? Nobody's been talking about any changes...

I got this a couple of days ago but have seen no mention of it on this forum. It only seems like a security patch though.
EDIT: This was received in the UK

I have been saying that same thing for a long time.
If you are going to be snarky about an existing thread, you could at least post a link to it! This one came up on the search when I started to post a new topic suggesting it was similar to my question.
Here's the question I was going to post, but will post it here instead so there is "not open 100 same threads over and over". (since there was no link to the original post that was about this update and it didn't show up on the suggestions)
I received the first Oreo update on 03-Jan-18: Oreo 8.0.0, Security Patch level December 1, 2017
My understanding is that Xiaomi has started rolling out the second Oreo update that fixes a number of problems in the first release, but I have yet to get it. We own two A1's, and my wife's A1 has yet to get either Oreo update and mine has not received a January security patch or the latest Oreo update.
I'm just wondering if any of you who got the original Oreo update has received the latest one?
Regards,

Just received it, in India

EDIT: Right after I posted this, it arrived on my phone! Now I just have to decide if I really want to apply it. With all the issues reported, I am not sure. The first update seems to work well for me: no camera lag to speak of (1 sec), notifications work properly as far as I can tell, etc. The only downside is a 'quieter' audio output, so not sure about rolling the dice and applying the upgrade. Will wait a few days to see what others experience.
EDIT 2:
I went ahead and did the update. Sound seems to have changed again. I went into my music app and changed the EQ to Flat and the sound was much better. I did not hear any hissing, even with classical music, but old ears may be the issue there. I don't use BT unless needed, so cannot address that issue. So far, notifications and icons all seem to work as they should. Camera app is unchanged at ~1 second from press of camera icon to ready. Fingerprint reader seems to have gotten faster, though it was no slouch (compared to my iPad) before. So far, battery usage is what I consider normal, but I don't use the phone for a lot of high drain things like watching videos or playing games. My battery easily lasts 2 to 3 days and is what I consider normal. If this changes with the new update, I will update this post.

GPS and call quality still an issue?

I understand call quality has just been updated but both this and GPS seem to be a recurring concern on the official asus forums.
I've read many posts of calls being quiet but fuzzy and how GPS is grossly inaccurate.
I'm wondering whether people are still struggling with both or just a few isolated cases. Anyone have any experience they'd be happy to share?

I can't confirm any call issues.
For the GPS, maybe that has to do with the European GPS system issues of July 2019 (see this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation) )?

Me too, because I didn't observe any GPS problems in my usage prior this update nor after it. It should be checked by those who routinely compare the GPS route data to the map data.

Latest firmware and mcu for Seicane px5 mtce hf

Hello. I'm hoping to keep my unit as up to date as possible and wanted to ask if there any files compatible with my unit, and if possible, change the look of the ui too, because it looks super bland to me compared some of the ones I've seen online. I've only updated the firmware once when my seller gave me a file to fix the time issue I had when I first got the unit.
I currently have a Seicane unit for my accord 05.
The reason I'd like to update the mcu is in hopes that may be it'll help with displaying my climate controls. Maybe I'm off with that, but I'm still not able to figure out how to make it display on my screen.
I'm honestly sorry if this has been asked before, I just got overwhelmed with searching on my own in android auto, so I figured I'd ask directly.
Thank you guys.

I took a pic of my system specs.
If you're referring to the manufacturer, I believe it's HF, so I haven't really found much for this specific firmware and mcu. Doesn't seem to be as relevant here unfortunately.
Be aware, your head unit may randomly get black screen issue. My HF headunit with 3.0x MCU had that issue.
You need to get your MCU updated to 3.30. You can get the MCU update here: mega.nz/#F!T1FgjA7A!wc9p40bocqCiBX8XPR50ig
Sorry, I don't remember where I found the link. It must be one of the sound patch thread. Credits goes to cs-x who did the sound patch, and the original thread owner.

Hello to everybody.
I've the same device from Seicane. for my Renault Koleos bought 2 months ago in Aliexpress. It came with version 3.30. The information of my device is
- Compilation rk3368
- Kernel 4.4.167 #176 Fri Nov 22 09:34
- Version MCU MTCE_HF_V3.30_1 aug 6 2019 11:08:02
- CPU Octa Core Cortex A53 1.5G
- Android 9. Screen resolution 1024*768. 9 " Screen
- Memory 3940 Mb
I've problems with microphone ( nobody can hear me when calling). I'm looking for an update. Does anyone can confirm if I can install one of the mod firmwares? I guess this should be compatible with PX5 firmwares, but I'm not 100% sure. Does anybody else has this problem with the microphone?
I haven't found any information in Seicane website. Their support is a disaster....

This is the latest available at least on the net.
There is also a V3.30 sound patched for better audio for units w/o a DSP:
dmcu(MTCE-HF-3.30sp+by+cs-x).7z
https://mega.nz/#F!T1FgjA7A!wc9p40bocqCiBX8XPR50ig?jhUEmAYD
For your microphone problem, try connecting an external one.

Thank you very much for your support. I'll try to update the device and to use the external mic. My concern is that volume of the microphone is adjusted to 0 and I haven't found how to change it ( even trying dozens of programs to test miccrophones). I'll try with external one.
Thank you again.
Hi.
Anyone know, or can you tell me who is the HF manufacturer?
The seller is Secaine, but he does not offer any information, nor does he provide any type of file for updating his devices.: eek:

I've tried eternal mic via jack connector and I installed the update. Nothing changed. Nobody can hear me in Bluetooth calls and if I record the sound of the microphone, nothing appears.
I've entered in factory settings and I've seen I have Bluetooth device SD-BC6. I didn't found any option to increase the volume of the microphone. I'm installing programs to access to engineering mode ( I hope I could change the volume of the mic).
In parallel, I've bought in aliexpress an USB microphone, in order to have other input source. Let's see. If none of those test work, I'm thinking on install other firmware like hal9k and root my device.
I don't know what else to do.....
Any idea?

If you used a compatible electret condenser mic, in this case the problem has nothing to do with Bluetooth, so it may be a hardware issue.

My guess is that mic volume is lowered to 0 I don't know why, since 2 independent microphones give the same result.
In other android 'phones' I entered in engineering mode and I was able to change this. This is the main option I'm looking for.
In parallel, a USB microphone (I'm waiting for it) would be a different sound source to try with ..... We will see which works
Did you factory reset the head unit?
After a factory reset the mic level should be reset as well.
Hello everyone. I received an updated Firmware directly from seicane for their head unit. This is Android 10 update for the 2/32 GB unit. Everything seems to be working great so far on unit. If you would like to try it for yourself please feel free to download and install. I'm not too tech savvy so if you have any questions I'll answer them the best I can. Thought I would share for anyone to update their own unit if possible
PLEASE BE ADVISED YOU USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I will not be held responsible for any damages done to your own unit.

Seicane was the one who give me this directly and said it was Android version 10. I haven't tried it myself because my radio is working smoothly right now. If it's not Android 10 I do apologise as I was told that is the version. I wouldn't lie about this because I have gotten so much from this forum and want to give back. As I said, seicane claim this is Android 10 version. I have the conversation to prove this if needed.
The end part of the title of the file already says it all: September 25, 2019.
It is obvious that something is wrong there.
