The update should appear in the beta channel in less than a week. I will write a release post here as usual
DAB+ App: (real)zoulou's DAB-Z app (official support thread)
- Thread starter realzoulou
- Start date
DAB-Z release 1.9.114
Change log: compared to 1.9.110
@ All: I propose you all perform a station scan to pick up the new stations that nearly all will be able to receive now.
Change log: compared to 1.9.110
- Added a 4th swipeable view showing News, Traffic, Weather and more DL+ infos, if supported by station
- DLS text shows DL+ 'Programme Now' info, if supported by station
- Fix: Some stations are not found during station scan (e.g. 8C in Switzerland)
- Fix: Some station names miss the last character (e.g. Rüsselsheim)
- Due to Android 11 Scoped Storage requirement, changed the path to DAB folder to <sdcard>/Documents/DAB/ (was <sdcard>/DAB/ before)
All data is migrated automatically. Users with logo files in DAB/logos/ will see a sync dialog at first start.

i have scanned all the stations in "update" mode, then have checked Rüsselsheim - it has updated its name to full (with last "m"). So - no need to delete it first.
What reasons were there for not saving/taking last letter for some station names? still smth with encoding?

@IG_Vasilich Ok, good. I was not sure if a re-scan would kick the wrong Rüsselshei station out, or not.
Well, root cause was a small mistake when dealing with EBU character set and checking against the max allowed length of 16 for service labels.

I usually give a week at least in beta channel and if no critical issues are reported, I post it to the production channel
I like DAB-Z. It is working as I expect, and instead of other users I don't have crashes.
But I have two wishes:
1.) I use DAB-Z in my car radio, and i often change DAB-Regions. Then I have to do the scan again which needs a lot of time, and when I go back in my main region, the same: Do the scan which needs a lot of time.
Is it possible to save the regions lists and load it then?
2.) I don't know if that's possible, but in fact that the DAB+ volume isn't as high as i.e. FM or Navigation, it would nice to have a volume "boost"

1. You can use station list export and import - it will save/restore all your stations and favorites to one file with name of your choice, so you can load exported stations later when you come to another area. You can have several sets of stations - for every area you visit.
Tip: If there are same stations in both regions you visit, that you like to hear, but those have different frequencies, then "service following" feature is very handy (if you live in Germany - this is especially comfortable for stations in both Bundesmuxes ("DR Deutschland" and "Antenne DE")).
2. Increasing volume level for digital signal will mostly lead to (digital) signal overloads = decreasing sound quality.
Many headunits (at least chinese
) have separate settings for different audio sources. E.G. my HU has settings for music (used by any android music player incl. DAB-Z), FM Radio, Navi, TV, AUX. So i set lower volume level for FM radio in HU, and lowered output volume in my music player to get same volume everywhere.

Delete the folder /sdcard/DAB/
When using a File Manager App, sdcard ist usually called "internal memory" or similar

I will believe it, but i cant find this folder. Is the reason, that i have no sdcard? I use only the internal memory

Frequently asked questions FAQ:
DAB-Z's expected behavior regarding Play/Pause, Mute/Unmute, Navi App announcements
Q: Does DAB-Z support fallback to FM Radio?
A: No and it is not planned due to technical reasons.
Q: Why do some stations appear several times in the list but have all the same content?
A: This is an annoying behavior of the broadcasting stations. DAB-Z does not lump them together to give the user the choice to pick one into the favorites list that has the best signal strength.
Q: Is it possible to add a sort of buffer to bridge short reception outages and therefore interruptions of audio, e.g. while driving through a tunnel?
A: No. DAB is a real-time, live (but digital) broadcast (same as old-style TV and FM radio), in contrast to streaming. The broadcasted data that is lost due to missing reception cannot be recovered or re-requested later. Also, DAB cannot be read-ahead in contrast to streaming. An app therefore cannot create a buffer of "future" data in order to have data locally, which can then be used to bridge the loss of reception.
For testers ...
... that want to actively support me and help everyone to have a better DAB-Z app:
If you encounter an issue with DAB-Z, I will maybe ask you to provide a) logcat logs or b) raw recordings.
a) logcat logs are created by pressing the logcat button in DAB-Z Settings -> Info (at the very bottom)
A zip file is created and you will be able to choose what to do (send via Email, add to Google Drive, etc...). Get this zip file to me somehow.
If I additionally ask you to enable "OMRI verbose logging", then follow these steps before creating the logcat as above:
b) raw recording are created by this procedure:

There are (again) two versions of the App:
a) the "normal" one
b) one with no usb_device_filter.xml included, which makes Android remember already granted access of DAB+ App to the USB DAB device.
However, Android then also starts the DAB+ App whenever it finds the USB DAB device as newly connected, which is the case when you power on the
head unit.
Some people don't want that the DAB+ app starts automatically when the DAB USB device is detected at startup. This is the reason why this version exists.
Note: When running on Android >= 6, this version will most likely ask for permission to access the USB device at *every* start of the app.
