Carlinkit A1 tbox problems - Connected Car

Hi,
I purchased a Carlinkit cpc200 tbox November 2021 (great product) and has been working perfectly.
Until this week, when it has stopped booting up. It will get to a black screen with android in the centre, it looks like it frozen but after 30 to 60 seconds turns off and try to reboot, with the same result.
When the unit is powered up there is a solid green and red light, after 15 seconds green light starts flashing,
after 30 to 60 seconds the red light disappears and 15 seconds later green light disappears. It seems as it is
Rebooting again.
I would like some help to fix problem.
Is this a firmware problem.

Short video of what's happening with my Carlinkit A1 tbox,
Problem booting up, anyone have a fix for this issue.

Hi,
I contacted the tech support and have tried to update unit multiple times with no result. As it was working perfectly, it was great but than stopped and now they (tech support) that is a low power issue, not software issue. I've also tried in 4 different vehicles and still not booting and bought new cable (same). Looking for the cable that may be the answer but having trouble finding it.

I am having the same exact issue and getting the runaround from the seller. Anyone have any advice?

Hi, I message Carlinkit support, they still think it's a low power issue, I tried different cable with no result. finally the cable that is shown is now available which should fix problem. I'll let you know if it works. ( I've already bought other cables that don't work )

I just got another AI box from them:
MMB 11 Plus 4+64 G Multimedia Box - Carpaly Ai Box With HDMI Input
MMB Multimedia Video Box 4+64 G with Android 11.0 system ,it has useful funtions : can convert factory wired carplay to a wireless connection and wireless Android auto, and video applications such as youtube, netflix can download in Google store,Screen mirroring for HDMI connector device
carplayaibox.com
I bought this thinking it would probably be buggy and eventually would return it but totally impressed. But this works great. Seems stable so far and allows for many customizations.

The Carlinkitcarplay Box is ok, It took a little time and patience to set up, but once I did, it runs well. Connects to phone immediately once I start my truck.

Hi, I got the same problem and same recommendation from support after 4 mounth of successful opertaion of device. Have you solved your problem? If yes, can you share solution?

A question to users here...

When you're using the android setup, is audio streaming via Bluetooth from your phone sent to the android box then the head unit or bypassed and goes straight to the head unit like factory android auto? Just wondering how much this device compromises audio quality of it's running through multiple sources.
Also, anyone tried rooting this device? Interested in running some audio mods through it like JamesDSP etc
Cheers

I’m my GMC wired CarPlay always had better sound than though GMC Bluetooth. Now that the bt gets passed through the tbox it sounds better. I think the tbox has better bt version since that connection gets routed through wired connection to the truck and sounds as good as wired without tbox.

[PROBLEM SOLVED] MAJOR HEADPHONE JACK PROBLEM (Please help!)

UPDATE
I have flashed back to the STOCK ROM, plugged in my wired headphones and it doesn't present that problem anymore.
I guess it was the rooting method that caused that error to happen
--------------------
I've went through all of the threads that have headphones jack problems, but none of them seemed to match mine.
Every time I plug in my wired headphones and try to select a music player, the program will freeze for about 15 seconds, then it'll start responding again. About 2 seconds after it responds, the headset icon appears and I am able to listen to music. I haven't experienced any random fast forwarding, skipping, pausing, etc.
The ONLY problem AS OF NOW is that the phone freezes or when I select ANY music player when either its the default player, doubletwist, btunes, mixzing (when home) it DOES NOT respond until about 15 seconds, then shows the headset jack icon. Why doesn't it automatically show the headset icon once plugged in? & Why does the phone freeze? Can anyone help me with this problem?
I haven't tried connecting my phone to the auxilary in my car yet, but if there are any problems with that, I will post it.
PS: I've FULLY ROOTED my phone using this method -- http://bit.ly/b36V9j with NO CUSTOM ROMS INSTALLED. Root ONLY.
reflash to stock and try it
I feel like if I reflash to stock and that doesn't solve the problem, it would've been a waste of time. But, if you don't mind, can you point me in the direction of the stock rom please?
HTC Evo ROMs
it might be good, actually - if the problem still occurs then you can return/exchange the device. if the problem does not occur, then you know what the problem was.

This fix is somewhat different than your issue because it involves skipping, etc. However if you don't have success with different headphones and after a factory reset, I would say review this link: http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/98880-fixed-microphone-jack-problem.html

There's no way im going to BEND anything on my phone.
I will flash back to the stock ROM, see if the problem persists, if so, then I know it may be a hardware issue. Might be forced to return if that is the case.

Just a thought - do you have a skin/case that could be interfering with the headphone plug seating all the way in?

No, the phone is naked. I'll be getting home shortly. I will flash back to stock and see if this corrects the problem.
ive had this problem as well, on the rom you get after using simple root. I just upgraded to froyo today (dual booting) and have not had the issue..
PS. froyo is a thousand times faster
If you still have the issue after flashing back to stock, try some headphones or a cable for your aux in that has gold ends. I've had nothing but problems with every cable I've used that didn't have gold ends.. but my new cable I bought for $7 that does have gold ends has worked perfectly.

I just read that the cameras do not work. I don't think I can flash to that ROM. I want a ROM that is blazing fast, has excellent battery life, has cameras working and apps with no problems.
Bumped for update.

Sound cutting out

Has anyone found a fix for the sound cutting out after a few seconds of a video or game? I have tried the soubdabout app, Turing the USB option off, disable Power save.. Still happening..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
I have the same issue sometimes, I've read around the web and it seems to be a mix of software and hardware related, I read a guy suggest removing and putting back the case (in case you have one) and I did that and the sound came back, haven't had the issue again.

Hmm, I keep mine out of a case,.. Yeah I'm not sure what it is, it's a 50/50 between some say software and some say hardware. I would asume that software would of been fixed by now, either Samsung or 3rd party
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
So I found a solution for the issue in my case, it does seem to be software but it's really weird cause the issue continues in any firmware, it started when I was on 6.0.1 PI2, then I flashed Nougat and had the same problem (I hated it and battery drain was killing me) I went back to 6.0 and changed to the PK2 version and the issue continued, it was really weird cause it would cut out in audio messages, games but not music, I also tried every single suggestion on every forum and post I could find EXCEPT the Soundabout app, today I gave up, installed soundabout, selected media to speakers and bam, problem solved, I still need further testing, but it seems ok for now, keep in mind that I also have "prevent USB audio routing" on and "Easy Mute" off.

Im trying the soundabout app now, I orginally had it set to automatic and was still having the issue, now I set it to speaker and so far so good.
as this worked for me but idk about others... I was told to remove all paired bluetooth devices (on/off doesnt matter) then go to settings>connections>more connection settings>nearby device scanning then turn off... worked for me... (sorry for zombifying an old post but as this is still current with mine and many devices i decided to help)

Microphone not working

Since yesterday evening I did encounter the following problem.
Plugging my earphones wouldn't send any audio to them, speakers always active.
Microphone nevers works, not in calls, not in apps, not while recording a video.
I did perform a factory reset and installed paranoid android, still the same problem. I am restoring OxygenOS last version right now...
It's been a very frequent problem since the beginning of october, did anyone encounter this issue recently?
This sounds like a hardware issue to me. Were there any potentially problematic events (drops, moisture ...) in past 2 months?

Not really, no, I did also notice that I can't save videos at all.
EDIT: after a HARDRESET (using MSM downloader) to Marshmallow, updating with OTA, everything works again... WTF?
EDIT2: I have been able to record a whatsapp audio, working fine. Did try to make a phone call, doesn't work anymore
this has been occurring to me also when using iphone earphones. but using other earphones works well. try using different brand

Not earphones issue... I had to simply clean the connector, the female jack on the phone, there was some cotton on the end!
Edit: the mic and the earphones works for few minutes, but after a while they completely stop, only a phone reboot solves the problem (just temporarily!)
I did install the Android Mic Fix Magisk module... My phone seems to be working correctly since few hours now.
Update: not even Android Mic Fix solves this... the only temporary solution I have is to Reboot the device
frankdd89, have you found the solution? RN i have the same problem, I have flashed my and everything was solved but, like 3 days after again just stooped working well. I have a doubt whether is a hardware issue due to the mic works well during several days, let me know what did you at the end..
I have the same problem! I'm going Mad!

ive been having the same issue with my oneplus 3 for last 8 months. I have tried resetting, restoring, turning off google voice and have replaced the mic/charge port twice but nothing seems to solve the problem. Would really like to find a solution to this problem as i tend to think it's software related because i started having the problem after an update. At first was sporadic but mic is completely out now.
Hi all, i have the same problem with microphoned earphone
I have tried many type of earphone but the problem is the same (at the first connection and use, the microphone doesn't work , at the second try (record voice or call) without disconnection of earphone the phone change the icon in the status bar, from the icon of earphone with microphone to the icon of earphone without microphone and start to use the integrated microphone in the phone) i attach image of the status bar icon
- I have tried the same earphone into another OnePlus 3 of my friend and he doesn't have the issue
- The internal microphone work good
- I'm using a CTIA earphone (in this case i use Samsung original earphone with microfone founded into an original Samsung device box)
- I have tried to factory reset the phone, clean from dust the earphone hole but nothing as changed
now i think to send phone in warranty assistance to OnePlus ...

Similar problems
I have similar problems. It started six weeks ago with the headphones that could not be detected. Then calling stopped working. Back then I rooted my phone and all the problems where gone. Until last Sunday my phone app crashed. Now all the problems are back again. I tried wiping all my data (also internal storage) and installing a custom ROM. This did not help. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really like the phone and it is still in mint condition.
Thanks in advance

[Bug/Issue] I keep hearing "Charging sounds" even through not charging

Hi, after the Q update, my phone keeps pinging the charging sounds even when I'm not charging it. Anyone else facing this issue?
Also, my charger is working in only one direction randomly. I already RMA'ed the phone on the same issue when I upgraded to Pie from Orea. Now it's happening again after updating from Pie to Q.. Haha .. Any suggestion here as well?
It happens for me from time to time but not for along period just like 6 to 8 pings then stops... Really wired lol

Yes! Exactly.. And that too in a short period..
Sent in for repairs..
The update changed my notification sounds to the charge ping. It also made that noise when I was in a call and got notifications. Check if that's what happened.

Nope.. I confirmed it by muting all app's notification sounds.. As a matter of fact, for a fraction of a second, the phone shows it's charging when the sound comes.
After a clean flash of the Android 10 image, I've got the standard "ping" charging sound that can be listened for example on Android One devices. Any idea why the cool new one introduced with Android Pie is replaced by the old one?
Having the same issue with my 2 xl. Randomly shows charging but I have my phone on vibration so no sound. It started as soon as I updated to Android 10
I've got the same issue, has anyone solved it yet?
Hey I've got the same issue, it just popped out today and it's so irritating that makes me wanna break my phone... Has anyone figured out what's wrong? How to fix it? I know disabling charGing notification sound can help with sound but I'm worried about battery since it shows charging for half sec and then goes off... Really google? Is this what quality means for you?....
After a long discussion with a tech support agent, we concluded that when we update the phone OS to major versions (8>9 or 9>10) the USB port firmware is going for a toss and only a company level patching / reflashing can fix the corrupted firmware.
So, if at all any issue occurs after a major update with USB it's very likely because of the corrupt firmware which can only be fixed with a phone's visit to the service centre .
Anyone has experience to solved this issue?. This still happen on my 2 xl, I hope it will be fixed after security update on this december. But, still happen until now. I don't know why. Please share if anyone found how to solve this. Appreciates.

Do check if all other usb functions are working: audio dongle, data transfer, two side charging etc. If anything is not working, the problem is with the driver software in the phone and has to go for service.
I have experienced this same issue, charging notif keeps bugs me every minute a day after the december update. I tried to buy new type C cable and adapter and the charging sound suddenly stop until now. Try this, i promise it may help you. Thank me later

Philips 65PUS8204 Random Reboots and Crashes

Hi All,
So I've just bought this TV and I've done all the updates I can, and even checked the website for any manual updates. I've done at least 3 full resets too.
As the title says, I'm getting random crashes or reboots - even when it's just sat on a menu screen doing nothing. Streaming anything such as Netflix seems to exacerbate the issue. I'm very lucky if I can even watch a single 40 min TV episode without it rebooting.
Any ideas? Has anybody else had this? Philips are being useless at the moment and simply referred me back to some instructions for 2014 Android TV's despite this one being a 2019 model, and then closed the support ticket before I could even reply.
Cheers,
James
Do you have any firmware updates?
Have you done any firmware updates on your TV?
Also did u check any auto-shut down feature?
Hello,
Thanks for the reply. As I stated I've done all updates already and also checked the website for any manual updates.
The TV isn't shutting down, it's rebooting randomly during viewing, and crashing when doing nothing requiring me to pull the plug to get it working again.
Any other suggestions?

Do you have any HDMIs, SATALLITES connected to your TV?
Please remove them and maybe re-installing the latest firmware would help

Hello, my apologies I didn't see the notification for reply.
I've tried leaving it disconnected but unfortunately the issue still occurs. I will look at reinstalling the firmware.
Thanks for your help so far.
Hi all again,
I just wanted to provide a small update. So I think I've worked out that it's the remote causing the crashing. Which in turn suggests a Bluetooth issue. It isn't consistent, so I'm now monitoring but it seems when the remote gets moved and goes to reconnect it then crashes and reboots. I'll post another update if my findings seem true.
on my Phillips the Isuue came from firetvstick4k.
If i changed Always HDR i have massive problems with lag in UI of my Phillips 65PSU7310.
If i changed it in Firetv to Adaptive...all Lag was gone from my Phillips TV
https://www.4kfilme.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Amazon-Fire-TV-Adaptives-HDR.jpg
Also AptoideTV app has given me much Bootloops.
After deinstalled AptoideTV and Gave Firetvstick only Adaptive HDR.All Problems has gone.no bootloop and no Lags anymore.
Perhaps it helps you !
greatz
I habe the Same Problems and Philip’s Support think That i am stupid“did. you try a firmware Update?“ and some other things like That. The Problem is since the Last Auto Update 6-8weeks ago most it happens After 1hour streaming youtube.

Hi James2k2,
I know this post is a bit old but I have a Philips OLED with exactly the same random reboot as you get.
You just said it was maybe a Bluetooth issue, can you tell me if you could confirm that? and how did you resolve this please?
Thanks a lot

Hey drgonzo69,
Unfortunately I never got the issue resolved. Philips support just asked me to reinstall the firmware, which I did and I still had the problem. In the end the supplier accepted it back and I bought an LG TV instead (should have gone with my gut and done this in the first place instead of trying to save some money).

Hi James2k2,
Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately warranty is expired and I can't give the tv back... I'm just going to wait for new firmwares hoping that system will be eventually more stable.

Ah that's a shame! I have to say, for the money the display itself wasn't bad at all. Hopefully a fix will come out.
