Pro své android rádio Teyes CC3 jsem hledal aplikaci pro přehrávání pozemního vysílání. Nejdříve jsem zkusil bezplatnou verzi a poté zakoupil tuto. Musím uznat, že je perfektní se spoustou nastavení pro přizpůsobení každému uživateli. Jsem na začátku testování, tak uvidím, jak to bude dál. Lokalizace v CZ, snadný import ikon pro jednotlivé stanice. Uvidím jak bude fungovat automatické přepínání mezi alternativními frekvencemi, které jsem si teď nastavil. Smekám před vývojářem aplikace.

Automatic AF switching will never work on Teyes units. It's badly implemented in the MCU.

Any solution for this?
Thanks
There are no solutions. All FYT units are made with AF not working.
The only thing you can do is add manually the alternative frequencies in NavRadio+ and switch them double clicking on the station button or sliding up/down in the middle of the screen.

Ok. You have a FYT device, not a TS10.
Please post a picture of the content of USB disk.
Possibly make a video of the procedure you are doing.

OK. Masz urządzenie FYT, a nie TS10.
Zamieść zdjęcie zawartości dysku USB.
Ewentualnie nagraj film z zabiegu, który wydasz.
Dziękuję za informację. W razie potrzeby jutro prześlę film, ale sformatuję go ponownie i rozpakuję plik

No, AF don't work at all.
Yes, in NavRadio you can edit each station and add up to 9 alternative frequencies.
Then you can switch manually between them sliding up/down in the middle of the screen or DoubleClicking on the station button
I know that AF is a non-working mess on the FYTs.

"Then you can switch manually between them sliding up/down in the middle of the screen or DoubleClicking on the station button"
Is this really only manual? Does the app not scan itself for one of the frequencies if the station strength is reduced below the threshhold in the Settings?

Say we have a station "MyFavoriteStation" with the following frequencies: {9650 ,10390, 9980, 8860} (up to 10).
If users have that station selected and we are "driving away" from the strong frequency (mostly our primary as that is where we live) and drops below the set threshold in the settings, isn't it then possible to loop through the frequencies, read the strength of the station, and after the loop switch to the strongest frequency? And while scanning show a popup (toast) "please be patient, trying alternate frequencies".

And vice versa: If I am in another town and open the radio app, and then select "MyFavoriteStation", it will most possibly not be on the "first frequency". Can it then also loop through the frequencies, record the strongest station, and after the loop switch to that frequency?

Good morning. I took the paid version on my Mekede M200S car radio. but I ask if the road traffic works on the application. and I have a small problem that I can't access the NavRadio application from the steering wheel control despite having deleted the original radio application. if not the NavRadio application is great. I forgot to mention that I can control the sound volume from the steering wheel control. increase, decrease and mute

What do you mean by "the road traffic work with the app"?
Does your unit use canbus for steering wheel controls?

There is a section to assign the steering wheel keys in NavRadio settings: enable the "show key number" and it will tell you which number to assign to each function.

If it use canbus i guess you should set to zero those values.

voice alerts for traffic bulletin on the highway or tunnel with RDS. AND for the steering wheel control I check and I will let you know. I forgot to specify the car radio is equipped with can bus
THANKS

The RDS function for traffic informations is the TA. It normally start a search of a station that send those kind of informations.
Because on Chinese units these things are controlled by MCU and radio chip, the reliability is unknown...

Please don't get me wrong. The double-tap on the Station name works fine as well to switch to registered alternate frequencies you have stored under that Station name, but it requres a number of manual actions and an automatic search ("automatic double-tap") would prevent this.

Hi surfer, sorry if I missed to reply you...
I can't read the station signal strength in real time. I know it's there a signal strength reading during search but the app cannot read it if i remember right.
Surely i can't read it before it start searching. So i never know when the signal goes bad.
I'll look more into the code of original app but I'm not so confident to find anything usefull

    I am using the default sensitivity settings.
    Yes I did enable "cocatenate text" for RDS. It has always worked well for me.

    I did try to disable it and it seemed to help the random crashes a little bit but it still crashed when changing stations.

    I am in the Michigan, USA using USA1 region.
    Ok it seem to happen only to US people then...
    I'll try to reproduce the problem and fix it as soon as I can.
    Sorry about it guys ;)

    Yes I am also having crashing issues, that only started with the latest update of the app. It will crash randomly sometimes, but also more often it seems to crash when changing stations. I have tried uninstall/reinstall with saved settings and also without saved settings. I never had any crash issues before this last update.

    I have a Joying JY-UQ135N4G-DA (UIS7862 12nm Dual ARM Cortex-A75 + Six ARM A55) 4G/64G.
    I'm still having the crashes, and it's always when changing stations. It seems to work fine if I open the app and don't touch anything. But click on anything, and it instantly crashes. I also tried uninstall/reinstall and that doesn't change the crashing.

    The changes of the latest versions are related to the sensitivity settings, in particular for joying units and RDS text concatenate option.
    Are you using default sensitivity settings or manual adjustement?
    Have you enabled the "concatenate text" options ?
    Where are you from? which logo region are you using?

    Just for more info on mine, I'm using default sensitivity (no changes), concatenate text can be turned on or off and it still crashes. I'm from Southern California, USA (USA1) and I'm not using logos at the moment.

    KoTiX2 i whant to ask you whant to make a video player ?
    Excuse me but what for? There are many many video players in the market and it would be better that @KoTiX2 would focus on radio app, which is rather niche app.

    I never released a full version that act as mediaplayer because that version cause problems with FCC launcher and is still unstable.
    Right now, after ViVid stopped development for non US countries and because of issue with FCC( the developer of FCC is also disappeared from the scene), the development of such a version is temporarily stopped.
    I'm concentrated now on porting NavRadio to QF01 kind of devices
    All right. No problem.
    I would be grateful if you could consider supporting the full version at a later date.

    Ou :D No, I was not modified anything. The stations list was created in NavRadio+ then imported to the Basic version (the attached apk). So it looks like some kind of issue ;)

    I am on Europe region. I am from Poland.
    Oh ok that's explain it :)
    In the next days 'll send you guys some free versions to test before release the full version.
    Thx for your help ;)

    SOME TIPS AND GUIDES

    - REMOVE ORIGINAL RADIO APP -​
    There are some issues due to original radio app coexistance. To avoid these issues the best option is to remove the original radio app from the system using the FYT_Radio_REMOVER/RESTORER tool availabe here:


    Extract the zip file on the root of a FAT32 USB disk so you have:
    a folder "BACKUP_RADIO_APK"
    a folder "lsec_updatesh"
    a file "lsec6315update"
    a file "lsec6316update"
    a file "lsec6521update"

    With unit powered up and android running, insert the USB and when prompted press "START".
    This will reboot the unit and run some shell commands to rename the original radio app from "******_com.syu.radio.apk" into "*******_com.syu.radio.bak" so it will not be found by android.
    You will see some linux commands scrolling and at the end you'll see a green text "update success!Pls remove device". Do it and the unit will reboot to android with radio disabled.
    The script will also make copy of the original radio app on the USB in the folder "BACKUP_RADIO_APK" in case you need it in the future.

    TO RESTORE THE ORIGINAL APP
    Simply insert again the USB with same files in it and let the process run again.

    Essentially everytime the USB stick is inserted, it remove the original app renaming it with .bak extension or if the .bak file exist it restore it back with .apk extension.
    You can use it as many times you want.



    -----------------------------------------------------------------------​

    TOGGLE SCREEN NORMAL/FULL:
    - Double Click on the station information toggle fullscreen on/off.

    NORMAL SCREEN:
    - Long press on the station information popup the "ADD Station" dialog window if the station is not in your station list. If it's already in your list, it will focus the relative station button.
    - Long press on a station button bring up the "EDIT Station" dialog window
    - Single press on screen arrows <> does a small frequency step fwd/back
    - Long Press on screen arrows does a quick search fwd/back

    FULLSCREEN MODE:
    - A Single press of the arrows <> switch to next/previous station
    -A Long press on station information(center of the screen) bring up the "EDIT Station" dialog window.
    - In interface settings you can remove the big frequency in background if a logo is available.
    - In settings you can hide status bar, activate the clock and a speed gauge

    STEERING WHEELS CONTROLS:
    - The steering wheels commands act exactly in the same way as the fullscreen arrows, they just need to be setup in the correct way in carsettings application.

    FAVORITE LIST:
    - The FAV list is the result of merging FM and AM favorites, so you can have both frequencies in the same list.
    - FAV stations can be edited within the fav list but cannot be added. You need to be on fm or am list to add a station and set it to favs.
    - Deleting the FAV list will just remove the fav flag from the fm/am stations but will not delete them.
    - Deleting AM/FM list it will delete the FAV list too.

    LOGOS:
    - you can use your own station logos, you just need to know where you have them stored and browse for them when editing a station.
    - To get the stations Logos from the app you have to set the nationality of the logos in the interface menu, download and extract them.
    Once they are extracted you have to edit each saved station to assign the logo image to it.
    - The automatic assignment of the Logos is based on the RDS id of the radio stations (pi code) and the search of the logo by RDS name.
    The first method (by id) is faster and more precise but it needs that the name of the logo contain the picode of the station and for this purpose i renamed them for some of the available countries. Of course i cannot make them all and the functionality of this method depend of the availability of correctly named logo images for your country.
    The second method (by name) is less accurate and it work comparing the RDS name with all available logos. If the rsult of the comparison is 100% correct the logo is autoamatically assigned. If the result are more then one logo, a dialog window popup asking you to choose it.
    For USA and Canada the assignment of the logo is is done by searching the frequency of the station in the logo file name.

    AF (Alternative Frequencies) handling: (Doubleclick to switch between stored AF)
    AF service allows the radio tuner to tune in to an alternative frequency when the signal becomes too weak. The minimum level signal can be set in factory settings (Auto Search Stop) and has been found
    that around 30 db is the best choice.
    To improve even more this service I added an automatic storing of the alternative frequencies so that every time a new frequency is received, it's added in a list.
    After an autoscan some radio stations can be found on different frequencies, NavRadio+ have an option (in Settings/radio) to automatically merge the frequencies in just one button populating the AF list
    The frequencies available in this list can be selected using the station editor or switched one by one DOUBLECLICKING on the station button.

    NOTES:
    I'm the only developer of the app and I work on it every single day for some hours a day.
    I try my best to develope the app at best of my possibilities and I wish at evey release that it is bug and crash free.
    This is very hard to achieve, even if I have some very good friends that help me testing it.
    I'm really thankful to them for their help and support.

    Thank everybody who beleive in my work and thanks for understanding. :)

    I want to share some news about NavRadio+ that missed to write beacuse of lack of free time.

    The first news is about the official latest version on Google PlayStore (2.84) where the main change is the addition of a Carousel Introduction guide that show up only at first run after installation and help the new users to set permissions, choose the radio region and explain a bit the first steps through the app.
    More than 2 months ago i uploaded NavRadio+ on Huawei Appgallery so that Russian people and all others from countries where the PlayStore is not available, could buy the app.

    In the last 3 weeks NavRadio has been rejected by Huawei Appgallery and the full version is not available anymore.
    I'm working hard to make it acceptable by the Appgallery rules and I already contacted the Devs support hoping to come to a solution soon.

    The last news is specially directed to all my betatesters.
    I uploaded a version named 2.85_Vivid that makes NavRadio act as a mediaplayer so it can work with Vivid and all other launchers using all the mediaplayer controls and mediasession.
    In this particular version I fixed the compatibility with FCC launcher that had problems.
    To use this version with Vivid launcher, it's mandatory to use a special version of Vivid too:
    Launcher-5.10.3466.apk

    I encourage everybody to test this build as much as they can with any launcher and report me any sort of bug.
    I'd like to make this version the new default one so I need it to be tested well.

    If a paid user would like to become a betatester to get access to this build, please send me by email the proof of you purchase and your gmail.

    Thx everybody who'd like to help
    😉
