New Owner - Some Questions: Steering Wheel / Hardware Button remap / Navi volume - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

Hello everyone,
I received my device yesterday. And I have some problems I would like to fix. Maybe anyone can help me?
It is for Nissan Qashqai J11 and the Version Info says:
Model-Nr: S07
MCU-Version MTCB-KLD2-V2.77
Android-Version: 4.4.4_20082015
Kernel-Version: 3.0.36+ [email protected] #58
Build-Number: rk3188-eng4.4.4 20052015.17:14:44
Processor: ARM Cortex-A9 @ 1.6 GHZ (x4)
In the Settings Menu there's an option for Factory Settings, which needs a password. I read the password here, but my question is: When I enter the password will the device Factory reset or will there appear a menu with additional settings?
There is a settings menu to remap the steering wheel controls. But remapping the steering wheel controls doesn't work. Is this a known problem?
On the steering whell the controls for media next and media back are switched. Is there an easy way to fix it?
Is there a way to remap the hardware buttons on the device itself -> Like the Navi Button should not open Google Maps but should open nokia here.
As I am using the device mostly offline I will use noka here for navigation. Is there a way to make the volume of nokia here lounder than the volume of the music?
As the Kernel-Version says "root" in it. Am I already rooted?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Factory Settings code *#hct#root# for rooting
126 - factory settings menu

Might be worth you watching some youtube videos so can see what to expect. To answer some of your questions:
- Factory settings password just takes you to some new menus.
- under Navi options I had the option to direct my Navi button to whatever navigation software I wanted to use. If you don't have this take a look at some of the mods on the Software forum as you can use those to do the same thing.
- under navi options I had the option to adjust the mixing volume or make audio cut to give you navi directions
- SWC, same for me but if you can find the right canbus option then then that might let you map keys, otherwise look in the software mods area.
- to test root, download something like superuser Su and see what it says (can only use it if rooted).
To be honest, I think the best you can do is to have a play with the options, if you aren't changing ROM etc its unlikely you'll do anything that is not reversible.

Hmm... I don't seem to have a "Navi Options" Menu. Where do you enter that menu?

Take a look at this but don't know if it will be the same for your unit.

2. If you have canbus SWC you cant remap it, just resistive SWC can.
3. In Factory Settings there is an option "swap canbus next prev" what you have to activate.

The satnav audio mixing is in Settings>GPS Monitor.
Change it from Switched to Mixing
The volume is set at 10 on my unit.

1. It'll go into a menu (check wiki)
2. If you are using canbus, you cannot remap. only if using SW connection
3. Try changing rudder setting in factory settings; otherwise perhaps canbus is intercepting incorrect
4. Check some of the software mods. Some can turn down audio when navigation needs to sound, then return back to normal

Thank you all for the help!
Because of your help I figured out everything. And now the device is almost perfect much better than I expected!

TP2 from Telus : How remove Autolock

I have a TP2 from Telus, with the original ROM and no programs installed.
When I press the power button, I must hit [Unlock] at left on the lower bottom of the screen, after the screen turn gray, and I have the message [Tap "Unlock" or press "*"]. Then I press the button [Unlock] just under the message. And just after that, I'm able to use the device.
My question is :
How could I remove this? When I press the power Button, I don't want to do this to have access to my device.
btw : The [Lock] option in [Settings -> Lock] is not anabled.
Thanks for help.
I dont know why it automatically locks it but the same effect can be achieved when you hold the call end button and select lock device from the quick list.
I'm considering getting a TP2 from Telus as well... I've heard there's no GPS in the Telus version. Can you confirm that?
Or if there's no GPS available in software, is the hardware still there, but just locked down?
(Sorry about not being able to answer your question, but it seems annoying to have to hit unlock like this... I'm interested in a solution too)
You have a GPS with the Telus version, I confirm. I installed Google Map, and it's working.
Place to improvement, but working : Don't work in my home, but outside, no problem.
Not the solution, but you will find a good workaround there :
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=77600
Another workaround discussed elsewhere: either slide the phone open, or remove the stylus. Either method wakes up the device without having to go through the unlock dance, and wakes up to wherever you left off.
Hope this helps.
I've got a suggestion but not sure if it'll work. Install the Advanced Config tool. See if the option is there to disable autolock. It's not there on my TP2 but it was available on my Touch Dual and my Touch Diamond.
By the way, it's funny but you should consider yourself lucky. So many users (myself included) are looking for ways to autolock the device natively.
Advantage of autolock: You won't have accidental screen presses when the device wakes up in your pocket without you knowing (eg, when the phone rings but you missed the call).
hehehe...
thats good, i am also looking for a solution to enable autolock,
(no 3rd apps.)
i compare the current registry with other devices,
maybe there is something

GPS working in GSM mode?
Hello hadez
quick question on GPS.
The Telus TP2 is a worldphone which can be switched to GSM for Europe as example.
Is the GPS chip available in GSM mode too?
Means if you switch to GSM, does googlemaps find a GPS chip?
All worldphones I used in the past the GPS did only work in CDMA mode.
I would like to have a worldphone which can navigate me in the rest of world not at home where I know the way.
Regards
highc

WM 6.1 is driving me crazy

Hi all,
I've been searching a few hours here, i have not found any working solution for the following problems (occuring since i got a new PDA - Asus P750 running WM6.1) I was using before a P525 with WM5, and so i lost many things :
- how to get back the "Call history" button instead of "Dial" ? I want to get the full call history, and not mixed with the contacts
- how to set by default the numeric pad ? Anytime i press a number on the button, it displays letters instead, like if i had to type a SMS from it
- How to restore the long press on the "#1" to launch the voicemail ? Now it launches the smartdial stupid thing
- Why does a bluetooth headset get inactive when i accept calls by pressing the PDA button instead of the headset one ? I have to do this, otherwise i have no sound on the bluetooth headset
This new way on WM6.1 to use the phone looks a bit strange to me ...
Thank you.
Sounds like your issues are unique to your device/ROM I do not have any of the issues you have described. Perhaps someone who uses your type of device may know better.
it all depends on the dialer you are using. Have you looked at using a PhoneCanvas dialer such as MBO PhoneCanvas?
Thanks, i'll have a look.
By the way, i have another question : before with WM5, i could switch to different profils (sound tone, vibrator, total silence) by using the buttons on the side of the phone. It is not possible anymore. Instead, it selects things on the today page.
Did it disappear with WM6 or do you thing it is only with the Asus P750 ?
Thanks.
Asking in the wrong place -- try posting your questions in the general area.

In the settings menu, select buttons and see if you have an option for the up/down button on the side of the phone. On my 6.1 Touch Pro2, there isn't this option for that button. So if its there, it probably wasn't from the stock rom.

They don't exist :\ Only one button to customize (for launching applications)
Thanks.
Any clue to set by default the numeric pad ? There's probably one tweak in the registry.

[Q] Volume output adjustment?

OK pros..... All of my FTV units have lower volume output via HDMI than my Ugoos UT3 or my Raspberry. There's a way to boost it in the Raspberry Pi with an over 100% setting and I'm hoping that there is some way to do it in the FTV as well. My hearing isn't the best and with it's lower output I'm having to turn my TV up almost all the way to hear it well. Is there and adjustment to allow going more than 100% or a second volume adjustment in the unit to boost it to equal my other units? All of my now 5 TFVs have equal output, but it's lower than my Raspberry and all of my other android units.
Really need a rewarding answer here! Thanks in advance for any help!
There's a volume amplification setting within XBMC, but I'm thinking you want it for the whole device. Not sure about that.
Haven't tried it but if you are rooted you could sideload the settings.apk and see if you can adjust the volume with it.

Can you tell me where it's located?.... I've only been able to find types of output rather than an actual volume setting. I don't recall if it's just within XBMC or with the entire unit.... It might not be an issue with other apps in FTV.... I'll try out Netflix and see.

In XBMC, start a movie and hit the select button to bring up video OSD settings. Arrow over to the audio icon and select. That will bring up a dialog box. Using arrow keys to navigate and select button to edit. 1st item is master volume, make sure it is 100% (all the way to right). 2nd item is the volume amplifier, put it to about 7% and try it. You don't want to change this anymore than needed.

That's what I was looking for, only on my other units you can do if from an audio menu rather than when a film is being viewed. Does this need to be done for each film viewed or do you know if it will retain the settings?
Thank you very much!
Same place, last one is make default for all videos. But not sure that setting requires that. Not at home to confirm it
---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------
Yes you will have set as default. Mine is set at 9 to match my regular tv/cable volume level.
Thanks very much... I appreciate the help from all! Still looking for the advanced settings apk, but will try the XBMC volume adjust shortly.... It's about that time!
Update: Just tried it and that's exactly what I have with my little Raspberry and my other Ugoos. Set the secondary to about 6 or 7 and it works perfectly! Thanks so much!

I blame the youth

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday my rad new Xtrons Android headunit was working almost* fine and today, after following conventional wisdom and letting my 15yo nephew pimp it, it's in all sorts of...well fckd.
Keen on some help from the collective wisdom. Before anyone helpfully suggests a factory reset... well, that's been done, sooo many times. When your nephew CHANGES the factory settings, it becomes a cycle of hell.
Unit is an Xtrons PB86MTVP. 8" HD, Android 6.0' Octa-Core 64bit 32GB.
Current main problem is that the touch screen inputs are reverse and diagonally opposed. What the hell do I mean by that? If I want to type on the qwerty keyboard or simply tap an icon, I have to use my cunning and hit an area or button diagonal and opposite for it to work. If I can get past this issue then maybe I can move to the next one which is that the unit doesnt power on/off with the ignition.
To be clear, things tried (multiple times in some cases) include
Reset via reset button
reset via software app section
undoing car battery
pulling unit back out and disconnecting
turning on and off again
swearing
So, who can help? got a silver bullet?
TIA
Joe
You could go to settings start right down the line set your home screen back and you should have a setting there for different keyboards also that should get yoy back to normal

thanks for the reply djkeylenux. I've got the right keyboard though, thats not the problem. the problem is the touch input on the screen, no matter which screen I'm on.
Well beside calibrate witch I thing you tried you could also go to developer options take a kook at running process see if there's something running causing the problem,
I think you lost the MCU settings.
Go to settings and then into Factory Settings menu. Password is 126.
Then in keys tab re-calibrate the screen. During calibration you will first see a "+1" in one of the corners. Tap it with your finger. Then in opposite corner "+2" will appear. Tap it too. Then accept and apply ypir settings and the unit will reboot. The touchscreen will work correctly then
In the same screen you can also re-configure the touch buttons and physical buttons of yoir device.
It looks like someone potentially did an MCU upgrade/flash. If there was no backup of the settings then you lost it all. Which also means you might have lost bluetooth connectivity as the bt module type on first page of factory setting might be wrong too. Also canbus and other things might be affected. I recpmmend to check out the discussion threads on MTCD devices here. Someone with the same unit might tell you the right settings.
Hint: If you have trouble tapping the icons with non-calibrated screen. Try connecting a standard USB mouse to any of the USB ports.

samsung g5 randomly switches to split screen mode

I have Samsung Galaxy S5 Model 900T (klte)
Lineage OS 14.1 November 23, 2017
API Level Guava (7)
Security Patch Level Novembefr 6, 2017
Baseband Version: G900TUCU1GQC2
Kernel Version 3.4.113-lineageos-g746d931
Build Number: lineage_klte-userdebug 7.1.2 NJH47F-c26202ea25
The phone randomly switches to the split screen mode, usually when I am opening apps or using them (eg. ES File Explorer, Blue Mail, Google Search, Cloud Library, IHeart Radio app). I hear a short vibration, then the phone switches into split screen mode.
I have tried an app called MultiWindow Toggle but this does not solve the problem.
I have tried to switch the function of the short press of the recent button to no action and the long press of the recent button to recent apps switcher, but this makes the phone switch to the recent apps switcher.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue or a software issue, and if the latter, is it the os or some of the apps? Does any one have any guidance for how to solve this issue? It is very intrusive, and I really like the Lineage OS.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
Sounds like a Hardware issue. Can you deactivate the button and activate software nav bar?

I managed to modify the file named build.prop using some instructions I found online. It did activate the software nav bar. I expected it to disable the hardware buttons, but it did not. I still had the same problem.
I had to go into the settings for lineage and set the "recents" button to do nothing on short press and nothing on long press. The leftmost button on the nav bar now does nothing as well. The phone still vibrates a short blast randomly, but does not switch. The right most button on the software nav bar the one with the rectangle face, that one activates the task switcher now. The rightmost hardware button still acts as a "back" button, I want that function so I will leave it as is. I can live with that. I don't know a way to activate the split screen in this configuration, but I can live with that as well. Both the hardware home button and the center button on the software nav bar do the same thing now. I would like to be able to program the nav bar to do what I want it to do, is there a way to do that. If not, I can live with this.
Thanks for your help.
