Sorry for the poor question, but i'm very newbie of Android Car system and I need your help about this...
I have installed on my Opel Astra J a MTCC RK3188 unit with stock android 5.1.1
I'd like to listen to my music even when the car engine is turned off, but the unit shuts off after about 1 minute, even if I leave the key in the ignition in off position.
In the configuration option there is ACC DELAY time, but this is the time that elapses between the status of the car is turned off (ACC OFF) and the complete shutdown of radio, up to that time the radio goes into deep sleep, in fact if I restart the car the radio switches on at once without doing the startup complete procedure .
I think that this value does not change in any way the time that elapses between the car engine off and the time which the radio can stay up without going into deep sleep.
There a way to change and increase this time, for example to 10 minutes?
How to change and extend this time?
It could be that the mod ROM's gives me more time?
Thanks
You can increase it. It is in the settings.
How can I do this?
In settings I find only the sleep time before completely shutdown, but no option to having the radio on after turning off the engine...
I thought you wanted to tweak the time between sleep and shut down. Seems like you found that one already.
Maybe your car cuts the acc line to the stereo after certain amount of time?
I think the canbus of the car send a signal when I turn the key in off position.
I also think that the radio has powered, because when after about 2 minutes turns off, I can see the "shutdown" toast before it going into sleep (It does the same type of poweroff procedure that it would do if I open a car door when key ignition is switched off).
If the radio was no more supply from the car, I think it would go off without giving any notice.
For these reasons, I was wondering if somehow I could configure this time.

it's not meant to. Your phone has gone to sleep, so the screen has switched off.
You can override this, but you'll haemorrhage battery power unless you leave your phone connected to the mains.

If you always charge your phone at night anyway then you can go to menu > settings > applications > development and tick the box to stay awake while charging.
The other option is to use an app that lets you set the screen time out to never. I use this and the night clock while not charging, yes it uses the battery up but I am not convinced about leaving it on change every night all night.
100% charge
after 6.5 hours
68% charge while in airplane mode and the night clock on
82% of that was Android and the other 18% was the screen.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the great tip. As a Noob to Android and to the Desire (as of last Thursday), the tips are fantastic.
I also have to say that I like this idea of a night clock because it was 1 feature from my Treo Pro that I liked. I like to be able to check the time on the Desire without having to wake it up all the time.
BTW, I have to say that after having my Desire for 3 days now, I have to say that I don't miss my Treo Pro or WinMo. I am totally in love with the Desire and Froyo 2.2 (which was shipped with my Desire).
Once again thanks for all the great tips.
I use my Nexus 7 for my main head unit in my vehicle. I use lama to trigger certain settings when it connect to the vehicles sound system via Bluetooth. One is to enable car mode. Since updating to Lollipop whenever I am in an app while car mode is enabled if I hit the home button the "Android Auto" splash screen launches (see image). Then crashes back to the app. Getting back to the google now launcher requires opening the the recent apps then pushing the home button.
So is android auto just car mode that will trigger auto apps? If so can we enable android auto on our devices somehow? Or is auto a different os? This would be a nice feature to have on our n7's

I'm seeing this with my Nexus6 setting Trigger App to start car mode. The same splash screen comes up and goes away. After triggering, the notification tray has a "Touch to exit car more" option.
I'm not rooted, but maybe rooting might get it to work?
Ive replicated your scenariio. Same results.
I could be wrong, but I believe all you are seeing here is the Splash Screen that will display on your phone when you have Android Auto connected via USB to the car.
Im not sure that this splash screen is an indication that Android Auto as an interface is hiding on your device.
I've seen the same with Nexus 5 as well.
I keep hitting the back button till I get to the home screen, but that means I spend more time looking at the phone (off the road) than I should.
Has anyone been able to figure out how to disable this, or atleast go to the home screen instead of going back to the current app?
Additional thought: I just checked and realized I use tasker to enable car mode. I guess I can just not enable car mode, but then the question would be.. what is car mode, how is it supposed to work, it doesnt seem to be doing anything on my phone other than disabling the home button
PS: I'm not rooted. Stock Google Play Nexus 5 used on t-mobile.
Android Auto is similar to Apple CarPlay and is a feature to use certain apps via the vehicle screen / buttons. But it requires the vehicle to support this feature.
I see the same behavior on HTC One (m7) GPE, Android 5.01, when I plug it in the HTC Car Kit dock.

Problem:
Hello, so this is my biggest annoyance with the Robin, which I have been using for about 6-8 months now (and recently FINALLY was upgraded to N).
My problem is that, with any bluetooth device (speakers, headset, car head unit), there are only two styles of volume. This is likely caused by Bluetooth absolute volume (or synchronized volume). I don't know how to disable this without root.
1-3 is VERY quiet, I can barely hear it at all.
4-10 is VERY LOUD, I can't even wear my headphones and listen to music.
I mean, 1-3 goes from like 1-2dB, and then 4-10 jumps straight to 90-120dB. There is no middle ground, and it doesn't help that every bluetooth device now pairs with the volume control, too. I can't set one setting on my phone and fine-tune the volume on my device like I used to be able to a year or two ago.
I would like to listen to music using my phone again, but this is making it impossible..... I don't want to root this phone as it's a work phone and the stock robin android is very good, so I won't be able to manually adjust volume settings (unless that no longer requires root)
Cheers!
Resolution:
Android N simply switched to absolute Bluetooth volume controls. In the past I only knew how to bypass this with root privileges, however my stock Robin OS now shows a new option in Dev options to manually disable Bluetooth absolute volume. Disabling this fixed all sound issues I was experiencing and increased the quality of bluetooth sound.

First off, I Love the phone. Hardware is great, Android 12 is mostly great but there are some weird things I've noticed that haven't really been an issue on previous phones pre-Android 12. I got rid of a OnePlus 8 pro for the Pixel 6 pro.
1: I have to use a Bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter (Bluetooth to auxillary input) on my car to Bluetooth to my stereo. Issue is, the adapter is ALWAYS on and when in range my phone is ALWAYS connected to that adapter. Android 12 gives you the option to quickly switch when you're playing music or watching a YouTube video in the volume slider menu but not say when you're playing a Facebook video, Instagram video or similar. The workaround has been to just completely disconnect Bluetooth which interferes with other devices like my Fitbit and such.

2: AOD doesn't come on when it's dark out. I usually get up at around 4am, and of course it's dark in my room. When it's pretty dark, not even pitch black AOD doesn't turn on. It's almost like the phone lacks a proximity sensor and relies souly on a light sensor for AOD. Another scenario was I was out with my family trick or treating tonight, in the suburbs where there was plenty of light and AOD still didn't come on when I pulled out the phone to check the time. Of course this isn't a huge issue, just an inconvenience
3: the lack of ability to set your own lock screen shortcuts. I don't use Google pay, nor do I control devices using the Google home app or shortcut.. it would be nice to set those to whatever I want. To add into that, I do have those both disabled but occasionally the Google home shortcut appears when I click the power button to turn the phone on. If I click it of and back on about 80% of the time it disappears.
I don't want anyone to take these as complaining, just thought maybe I'd chime in on some "issues" I've noticed.
Hello, i have a huge problem with my android head unit which i bought from Ali.
Everything works fine except radio. fm and am.
More specifically when i turn the ignition on, radio works fine and after 1-2 minutes it stops like it has no frequency at all. When i try to search for the next radio station it does nothing. All other functions work perfectly (Bluetooth, usb, YouTube etc.) . Now, in order for the radio to work again, i have to turn of the engine, wait at keat 5 minutes and then turn again the engine on. The radio then works again for 1 -2 minutes and is does the same thing all over.
I have already tried factory reset but that doesn't work.

If it's a software problem, you can easily find out with NavRadia+, Basic is enough for the test:
NavRadio – Aplikace pro Android na Google Play
Vychutnejte si miliony nejnovějších aplikací pro Android, her, hudby, filmů, televizních pořadů, knih, časopisů a dalšího obsahu. Kdykoli, kdekoli a v jakémkoli zařízení.
play.google.com
Some radio settings are in factory settings (password126). In the Radio tab, set your region. In the Other tab at Auto search stop - DX - 20 db, try another value.
You have to detect the hardware problem yourself, it can be bad wiring, bad grounding, faulty radio chip, fault on the motherboard, the device is interfering with the alternator, led lights, some additional equipment, antenna....
Give it to an expert who will measure everything, but it is difficult to find someone for these devices.
