Ok. Please post a picture of the content of the root of USB disk.
Possibly, if you have it, post a link to the firmware for your unit.
 
He has a uis8541i. Does your navradio apk support that?
The app itself works wonderfully! All features appear to work great on it. It tunes to different stations, I can preset everything, etc. AM and FM both work, and the logos work great after downloading.

The contents of the thumbdrive are exact as you specified in the second post.

If this is the root of USB and it's not a the content of a folder, then i need a copy of your firmware.
Unless ZHAN have changed something in the firmware (like Teyes have done in its 2022 firmwares), there is no reason to not starting the update script.

It is in the root directory. I'll work on getting the firmware for you tomorrow (it's late here in California). Thanks!

I've tested again the FYT4 version and found where the issue with 255 value is coming from. The behaviour of switch to enable/disable manual tuning is inverted. When option is on set up value would not affect scanning sensibility. But if you set the value to e.g. 255 and turn the option off (to force it act with default value), the sat up value will affect seeking sensitivity and for e.g. 255 value - stations won't be found. If you change the value to the lowest one - 140 - and turn the option off again - stations will be found.

I've recorded a complete video presenting this issue.
I beleive this is the last Test:

(The Automatic sensitivity switch was inverted)

Please let me know if it's all ok now ;)

Tomorrow will come out the full version with the fix.
Thx for your help man. I really appreciate it
:)
I've also want to thank you and I've really appreciate that you immediately working on the user suggestions, fixing the issues and making your great app better for all of us :)

Will the fix be available also for the paid version from the Google Play?

I have an additional question about this scale. Earlier one user used to name the 0-100 scale as a "km scale" - is this "function" really represents the amount of the kilometers (+/-) of the signal sensitivity? Or was this simply misnamed?

For "Full version" i mean the paid PlayStore one. So yes ;)
km?? Absolutely no!
It's just a value that the MCU use to set the sensitivity in the radio chip.
In the code of the original app i can see that depending on various models and radio chips, this value can be 50, 100 (for my unit) or in your case 255.
The original radio app is still the same since the very first fyt model, then they added code to support the new models from "Sofia" units to latest UIS7862 ones.
This is the main reason of the confusion in the code.

I have an idea to unifying the scale to reflect reality more and be clearer (more understandable) for the user. Right now the values range 140-255 looks more like the remnant of the back-end work than the final front-end representation. Unifying the scale may be more user friendly I think (eg. 0 - super sensitivity, 100 - lowest sensitivity, or better vice versa, with greater steps like 5 or 10). That's is just my thinking because I am a half-manual half-automated software tester so that's my everyday think-view from the end-user side on the back-end code ;)

This is just a suggestion of course.

Hello. Why don't you try this thread apk? "NavRadio+" is pretty awesome. Just install it from playstore. Your unit has to be a FYT model (UIS7862 or sc9853i).

I haven't had a chance yet to download the firmware, but I updated the app this morning (I saw there was an update in Google Play), and now I'm having major issues with the app. It started with the app crashing when I would use the steering wheel buttons to switch between my favorite stations. Then, as the day went on, the app now crashes completely when I load it. The radio will start playing, and immediately the app crashes. I have sent a crash report to google (which I assume you get as well?). Is there a way to go back to the previous version?

No, you can't go back.
Try to uninstall and reinstall NavRadio

    NavRadio version 3.06 changelog:

    - Small fix for Blur image
    - Fixes for audio focus
    - Added Greek and Japanese languages

    The audio focus bug was present in all models, now it should be fixed.

    I also added a small fix for speed radars audio (only for FYT devices) but I need somebody to test it and I left it disabled by default.
    To try out this fix you need to go to Navradio settings->about and double click on the Navradio icon to enable the TESTMODE (a text will appear). In this way the RadarFix is also enabled.
    If you double click again the TESTMODE and RadarFix will turn OFF.

    If anybody can report me that this fix is ok and doesn't interfere with other things I'll enable it in next 3.07 version.

    To everybody who's having audio issues on startup etc.: today I released a v3.05 that I thought was the definitive fix for the audio problem but it's not. :(
    There still was a ****ty tiny bug that I finally killed tonight.
    Tomorrow there will be a v3.06 on Google PlayStore :D

    Here is the updated version of RadioProxy:

    It will run the full or basic version of NavRadio depending of which one you have installed.
    If you have both it will run by default the full version of NavRadio+.
    If you need to run a different app or force the basic version you need to add the config file with specified in it the "PackageName" of the app to run:
    PackageName=com.navimods.radio_free

    The config file must be named RadioProxy.cfg
    and copied in a folder like this:
    /sdcard/RadioProxy/RadioProxy.cfg

    As I already said it's based on the source code of MusicProxy by koenig ( thx to him for sharing it)
    Here is the latest version:

    I have the impression that the current version "takes control" of the sound. When I listen to Spotify and I turn off the car after restarting the radio, Spotify does not want to play until I switch to Navradio and the sound appears.
    If NavRadio is not running how could it take control of the sound?
    I'm sorry but there is another reason for your problem.
    Anyway, please wait for the next release, the audio focus will be much better. ;)

    I don't understand this sorry..
    That was praise for you :D The original manufacturer did not help, but You created such a apk that did the trick ;) Bad wording from my part.

    SOME TIPS AND GUIDES

    RADIO PROXY
    I slightly modify the surce code of MusicProxy (from Koenig) to create a RadioProxy app that replace the original radio app with a shortcut to NavRadio+ so you won't need to remove the original app with my "remover/Installer" tool

    RadioProxyFYT_1.1.apk


    It will run the full or basic version of NavRadio depending of which one you have installed.
    If you have both it will run by default the full version of NavRadio+.
    If you need to run a different app or force the basic version you need to add the config file with specified in it the "PackageName" of the app to run:
    PackageName=com.navimods.radio_free

    The config file must be named RadioProxy.cfg
    and copied in a folder like this:
    /sdcard/RadioProxy/RadioProxy.cfg

    To remove the app follow these steps:
    Settings - Device - Applications - RadioProxy - Three dots in the upper right corner - Delete updates

    (Thx to koenig for providing the source code of MusicProxy).


    - REMOVE ORIGINAL RADIO APP (OBSOLETE USE RADIOPROXY INSTEAD)-​
    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
    😉
