[px6] WiFI gets disabled all the time / SD Card as Internal memory not funtioning. - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

HI
I have a new PX6 Head Unit Android 9.
one problem is, that the WiFi disables itself after a short period.
Sometimes i click "enabel Wifi" and when it starts to activate - it gets deactivated already.
Sometimes it works for several Minutes and is then deactivated.
I have a WIFi USb Stick with gsm Card connected via USB like on my older PX5 Radio and thats no Problem.
So the Wifi is Always there,.. even "activate WiFi when known WiFi is near" doesn´t help,.. i tried several Things but Nothing seems to work…
the 2nd problem that i have is, i cant assume a sd Card as internalt Memory. no known SD Card works. ( i have several here and all worked on the px5 board )
when i go to the Memory menu and click on the gps Card,.. the filemanager Always crashes - Nothing helps. any ideas? the Cards are known and functioning ( Video MP3 etc... )

What did the reseller suggest or offer when contacted for support?

Acer C530 Woes

I'm having one major problem that I've been unable to solve. Every so often the bluetooth stops working and the sound locks giving error=2. Bluetooth reports "failed to turn on due to insufficient memory". If I try to increase the volume it goes back to 0. The only solution is a full hardware reset. It's happens so often I've transferred all the cab's onto a separate sd card so I can reinstall the lot without a PC.
I have a feeling it is USB related as it seems when it's stuck into a port it can on occasion initiate the problem.
The only way I've managed to sort the issue was by upgrading the bluetooth to a newer version (broadcomm_bt_stack.CAB 1.7.6) via a hack found on one of this forum, however while the sound then works the bluetooth is off completely probably because registry settings are using the wrong port etc.
Here's a list of the PDA spec:
OS: 5.01, 20061016
ROM: 1.10.15
Firm: 3.0
Bootloader: v2.17
Bluetooth: Broadcom 1.7.1 Build 8700
I have attached the bluetooth registry values (before I try to update the stack).
Any ideas???

USB connectivity crash-tastic weirdness

Is there a way to prevent Touch Pro "disconnecting" a card from the phone when i plug in USB and select disk mode ?
Reason for asking is i use Garmin GPS and the bloody thing crashes after losing maps which are on 4gb storage card.
Any way to prevent apps disappearing after i use "disk drive" connection ?
Thanks...
I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is "no". In order to make the card appear to the computer as removable media it has to unmount it from the phone OS. I imagine it might be theoretically possible to "multiplex" the card comms but I suspect that's a pretty tall order. Then again, people on here can do some impressive things, so...

[Q] Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 (l9100) Car USB internal mount

Hi all, I've been waiting and searching around seeing if I was able to find any kind of fix or something for some time now but it's beginning to get to me far too much.
My problem is when I had the HTC Aria I used to have the audio stored on my phone and plug it into my car's USB connection and the headunit would search the device and find all audio to play through the headunit which I was then able to use my controls on the steering wheel. After some time I bought the Samsung Galaxy S2 (l9100) and to my excitement received the whopping 16GB internal storage as a bonus, so I filled that. And heres where my problem comes in, I cant seem to make my headunit search the internal storage and play all that music, It will only search the SD card (external).
Now from reading all over the internet I've been led to believe by any posts that relate somewhat to this that it wont be possible for this to work, what frustrates me though is that it is possible. I've rooted and flashed various custom ROM's to my device (VillianROM first, Cyanogenmod Nightlies second and now MIUI yesterday). I have successfully had the headunit read my internal (newer and more songs) upon connection twice that I can recall now, I think the first time was after first connection to the car after the cyanogenmod flash and today when I first connected it again. Which led me to believe that it was working and then was just applying a new theme on my phone while hanging at a friends then was taking another friend home and plugged it in and back to only reading from my SD card (external - old crap music) and can't figure out why it has worked twice if it is not possible.
The reason why I am determined to figure this out is due to 16 GB internal storage and only 1 GB external storage and I wish to use my phone to its full potential.
While I'm at it, I guess I should mention my other problem which adds to my determination to get the USB connection working with my car. The USB connection is a much clearer & louder playback (Higher quality) then the AUX (current alternative) and to be safer while driving by using my steering controls.
But since flashing to Cyanogenmod and MIUI (cannot recall whether I had this problem on VillainROM) I've noticed the volume in headset mode (when I have something plugged into the headphone jack - ie, AUX, etc) and I begin turning up the volume from quietest to loudest it get notably louder each press until halfway or a press before halfway and then does not become any louder, which I also think may be making the audio less clear and loud when connected via AUX to my car.
Thanks in advance to anyone whom contributes.
I am usually stubborn enough to sort problems out myself, but for the first time I am asking for help on a community forum.
Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
If you need to know anything else don't hesitate to ask.
CM7 volume is a known issues or least it was last time I checked.
Try turning on/off usb debugging is my best guess.
Done that, today at some point it randomly read my internal storage and right now I'm constantly reconnecting it with no success.
The frustration continues as it is obviously possible but appears to have a mind of its own.
With my little knowledge when it comes to android and their platform, is it possible it could be there mount priority of the storage or the internal having something stored on it such as an app that could be in use by the phone which could be preventing the drive from being read?
what the hell... I have the exact OPPOSITE problem.
With my headunit its been only mounting the internal storage, but most of my music I put them in the external since I got a 32gb card!
Could it be mounting the smaller sized storage first? =P
-EDIT-
Actually it should be easier to do it the way you want it to (i.e mount internal only)
just unmount the sd card via the android settings -> storage -> unmount
and once it is unmounted, connect the usb to the car.
The catch is of course if you wanna use the external again you have to manually mount it via the settings.
more info but no real help
I have seen a very similar problem and I feel like I can reproduce it.
I've got a 2010 Hyundai Tucson - it has a USB/aux port in the dash console and can accept anything that can be mounted as flash media, flash drives, ipods, etc can all play back music using the Nav display to browse and playback files from the device.
The stereo plays back music perfectly through both my wife's old and new phones. An original MyTouch 3g and a MyTouch 4g. She's had no problem mounting and reading the files from her internal storage. She can playback music on her phone, the car even remembers her place and resumes where she stopped a song.
I, on the other hand, cannot easily get the car to playback files from my older or newer phone. I started with the original android, the HTC Dream/TMobile G1 then later upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S 3g/TMob Vibrant. What's the difference? I've run modded android OS on my phones and my wife has not. I had been running CM5 and later CM6 on the G1/Dream until I retired it. Lately I've been using a MIUI mod, Lithium 360, on the Vibrant.
When I plug in to the USB on the car, the phone gives me the mount prompt and the car begins searching for files. Eventually both fail to make any progress.
I've tried many fixes including turning on/off USB debugging, I've tried wiping Dalvik cache, Wiping regular cache, I believe I even did a factory reset, flash zip, full re-install on a road trip just to see if I could get the car to read my files. What I did discover is that the problem is simply not hardware related. I could boot to recovery and use clockwork to mount USB storage. Files were seen instantly and played back fine. However, this doesn't do me any good as I can't really use the device for anything else (safety first ) and not to mention that there's no way I want to run the phone with the screen on for hours. I know there are simple workarounds here. But carrying an aux/patch cable is an extra hassle, and since my phone can hold enough data for my average means, I often don't remember to bring a flash drive with me everywhere. Besides, the USB cable in the dash does double duty, charging while giving access to files.
To be fair, I've only used CM based mods (according to wikipedia, MIUI is somewhat based on Cyanogen) on my phone and have not tried out any other android software. I don't know if that's a connection or not, but it's the only lead I have right now. There's got to be something different about the USB settings in the OS itself compared to stock Android. Is there an apk file one could flash and test somehow?

This thread is above seems to be describing the same problem. This however appears to be an aftermarket stereo.
[Q] After mounting it *immediately* dismounts
Connecting to a Samsung TV (USB debugging ON and clicked on USB Storage until it turns from green to orange) and then browsing USB (Menu => USB device) it mounts the USB ("Android 11GB" which is presumably the internal SD) and then dismounts within a second and restarts initializing. An ordinary USB stick (single file system) does mount.
Is this because the Galaxy S2 mounts two file systems at a time and the TV cannot handle this. Is there an app which only mounts ONE filesystem on the Galaxy ?

HD2 WiFi Problems

Hello,
WiFi doesn't work with my HTC HD2 under SD AmericanAndroid Version 2.3.5.
It takes a long time until the wireless switcher is turned on and after a few seconds the switcher goes automatically to "off". Bluetooth works normal.
In Windows Mobile there's no problem - both Bluetooth and WiFi are fine.
I've tested severall versions of Android (SD and NAND), tried SD card reformatting- always the same effect, no WiFi under Android.
I've already tried hardware and software reset - also without problem solution.
Any ideas?
Hi,
no idea, but I tried out this (AmericanAndroid) during last weeks on a HD2 and everything was working fine, even WiFi (SD Build):

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
