External reset? - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

A little question:
I have a Avin Avant 2 with Malaysk rom.
On this model there is NO reset button and this model has touch controls. The worst design ever.
Now for the problem:
Sometimes when I start the ignition of my car from ACC (radio turned on) the battery gives a kind of hickup a d the starts. When that hiclup occurs the radio crashes to a blank screen. The timer for turning off does not work and the radio stays on this screen even with the car completely off. Now because there is no reset switch I have to open up the dashboard, disconnect the radio and reconnect it. A real pain in the a**.
Now for the question:
Is there a way to give an external reset? Via USB, SD or something. Touch buttons cannot reset the device. I tried every combination and hold time. I wish I could just insert an USB with some kind of script which resets the device. I'm thinking of putting a switch between the car battery and radion to turn it off but would like to see a more "invisible" solution.
Thank you for reading this tl;dr post

Power Problem

My PDA2k seems to be turning itself off even when in use :?
I use TomTom3 in the car, and even when the power is plugged into the bottom it was turning off ever few minutes.
I just took a phone call and when I has finished talking I noticed the screen had gone blank and pressing the red handset didn't bring it back, the power button did. (I do have screen lock on).
Having said that, thinking about it, I was watching TV progs on WMP on the way home and it never shut itself off once :?:
Anyone have any idea what is going on? Is this normal?
I have an o2 XDA2 S running TomTom 3 with the TomTom cradle. I occassionally find that the pda just turns itself off.
It doesn't happen all the time.
I have also found that sometimes during a call the pda turns itself off and I cant get it back on by pressing the handset key, just the on off button.
Cheers

click start>settings>system>backlight . . in here you can change the time it takes to turn off in not touched the device, 5 mins max.... also if you click button lock in system settings, you can set it so that when it happens, you can tap screen and it comes back on again.... tho i prefer to keep that off, otherwise it may ring people while it its protective case.. :lol:
and going by all the software that is out for these xda's, you can prob find a programe /or hack to change it even longer if you need that!!!
But when it is on external power (plugged into the car using TT3), it shouldn't shut down at all. Aside that, when in use (when receiving a call) I wouldn't think it should shut down should it?
I have a seperate scren lock installed too. I found the built in one not enough. When it is in my belt pouch and I get a text, or connect to my BT car kit or something, it wakes it up. All of a sudden all the keys are being pressed (by the squeeze of the case) and all kinds of applications are opening!

Power setting dosn't work

My XDAiiS screen goes blank and drops the bt conection, (not very useful if your using your handsfree or getting directions from the TomTom navigator.). I have gone into the power setting and unchecked turn off device if not used on external power.
No effect

I assume it might be something with the registery, either try soft-resetting and see what happens, or just backup your needed things and do a hard one .

Screen off when charging (either through usb or ac)

Since yesterday, my mda compact III turns the screen (and backlight) off when I connect the usb cable or the charger with power on them. As soon as I take the charger out, the screen turns on again. Also, after some minutes of leaving the cable connected, the screen and backlight turn on again, but as soon as I press a button or touch the screen, they turn off again.
The device stays on, because when you want to explore it through the windows explorer, you get to see all the files with no problem.
This is very annoying, as I have the device connected to my computer when I'm in the office.
What went wrong here? I haven't installed any programs yesterday, so that shouldn't be the problem.
I had this the other week, a hard reset sorted it out
Thanks for the reply, I did a hard reset and the problem was gone. Let's hope it stays that way.
Same problem after installing SPB pocket plus. Uncheck "Buttons" in the Options of pocket plus.
Same here. In just realized that in this case the settings for backlight changed and set to "zero". (You can turn it on again). Happend to me when I do a soft reset with cable connected.

I noticed the same thing with the Orbit. Sorted easy from the baclkight menu. Somehow maybe SBP Plus changed the setting maybe something else, but just re-ajust your slider "On external power:"

MTCB-MD

Hi all! I am a owner of not well known MTCB-MD and have a few issues with it. Unit was updated to Malaysk rom for RK3066 android 4.4.4 and mcu is updated from MTCB-MD-1.83V to MTCB-MD-2.67V.
First problem is that power buton is not working. Cannot turn it off (it turns on and off via car key), and can´t make selection in recovery (reboot, restore, update, factory reset...). When MTC is on and I push power button it acts like HOME button (and I tried with all launchers).
Second thing is that 3 keys on the right are not working at all, and buttons on the left are remaped without any sense, luckly disc eject is displayed on screen, it is only way to eject CD/DVD.
Third thing is about Wi-Fi. Sometimes it turns on and immediately connects to network, sometimes it is stucked on Turning on Wi-Fi, sometimes it drops connection with phone which is 20cm away from unit.
Any idea how to roll back to original android version and where to find mcu version 1.83? And how to even upgrade/downgrade it when i can´t select any option in Recovery mod???
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR RESPONSE!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the settings/factory settings/ there is an option for button layout. Change it to what works with your setup.
Contact your seller or manufacturer for files.
I have already tried all button layout options but nothing changes.
UPDATE: This morning new problem came out. MCU starts when I start engine, display logo, boot to homescreen, and after few seconds starts again displaying VW logo and it´s stuck on it...
Would it help to connect it to laptop via USB-A/USB-A cable and reinstall software/firmware with RK software?

What turns on a head unit ?

I have a 1 yr old LM px5 with boot issues.
I used to have on auto sleep but the damn thing would never wake up. Even pressing the on off button.
Now I have it on sleep after 1/2 or so which was a little better, and reverse cam worked if I have to re-start.
Once on it works and runs fine and has never turned itself off, so I dont suspect any lose power wires.
However I have briefly had issues with my canbus due to a faulty alarm unit. Since repaired but ever since steering controls have sometimes been erratic . That I can live with but its the not turning on thats the problem.
To me it seems like its (sometimes) not getting the 'turn on' command.
Can anyone advise please, because this unit 'should' work without canbus - yes ? If so how can I turn on without canbus, when its getting power.
It always turns off fine when I press the button but will never turn on just by the button. Even if car is running.
