The human audible spectrum is said to be 20Hz-20Khz indeed but this is a theoretical norm and would maybe apply to the majority of perfectly healthy human toddlers sitting in a soundproof chamber. Reality is more like @Meteordust says.

Before hifi DIN standardisation the norm was even more like 40hz-16Khz. Still capable of provoking eargasms if the equipment and setup is off good manufacture.

A very important criteria for a good amplification design is it being dead silent fyi. Not a thing one can expect from an overgrown phablet with noisy circuitry (microphonics).

😂 Was little joking around..coz of the statement that was made that there is a limit.

And yes amplifiers from good quality are dead silent and the one that mentioned the 24-28 kHz probably uses an oscillator, points out that removing the resistor does more than only good, so not a joke.

Like you said in our car it is not really an issue and seems dependend on HU unit, asked my son and he doesn't hear noise.

@marioti , consider yourself lucky with having that kind of good hearing over 40.
Myself do yearly test for my work and only hear 9 kHz and under....
I'm over 50, but due work as an engineer, engine rooms, I damaged my hearings a little bit.

Sorry to learn about your hearing loss but I know lots of people working in entertainment/PA business allready being partly deaf in their 40ties...

I will also remove the resistor but it is a pitty we do not have shematics. Just by curiousity.

As I look at the pics seems the resistor is connected to the smd cap underneath and also connected to the component in parallel alongside the cap. So removing the resistor is disabling some filter it seems. No deal disabling that filter if it only introduces noise. Could indeed be an oscillating circuit...

I should get my ears checked also, I notice I begin missing on some high details even with my best hifi setups... I also hear the background noise on the HU but it isn't really bothering me. Music on the road is only entertainment for me, the real joy I get from my home hifi setups or going to live performances occassionally. Then I am more critical (+focussed).

Yeah well ive lived with hearing noise and sounds way above most other peoples ability all my life. Those cat-scare noisethings people put up make me nauseous...

Anyway, phone cant measure the noise thats there, but its still audible. Just barely shows up in video recordings.

Heres a waterfall graph of pre mod atleast, ive highlighted it since the automute kicks in after a second or so. (Cars idling, therefore the low freq **** thats constant)
I can make an equal graph post mod, but since phone can barely record it, it wont show up on the graph.

Been wondering about that aswell, its kinda hard to trace the circuitry but its trace leads into some weird front-mounted components i cant really clearly identify. Here, ive marked all but 1 of the endpoints of that resistors rear facing pcb trace.

Top image is directly behind the DSP chip, bottom image labeled amp or dsp is about 4mm off from the main socket pins, and goes through directly under the big ass 6800uF cap, so i dont think it connects to the amp anyway.

Question for those who know everything and hear like a bat. In your car, tweeter transmits high frequencies, its sensitivity is up to 20000 Hz, how can you hear 24-28 thousand ??? Twitter doesn't make that sound, are you familiar with the audio system at all, how does it work?🤣🤣🤣 Install SPECTRA PLUS on your laptop, get in the car and measure, at the same time you will learn how to tune the music and understand the edge of your hearing. Don't listen to fairy tales 🤣
Alrighty then mr audio engineer, what mic would be best suited for picking up very high frequency noise? I dont exactly have a fking oscilloscope so i cant hook that up to the speaker leads - im just going by "ear".

Don't take it too serious mate ...it is all about genetics...what you mention is just the average.

We talked about distorted sounds right?

Many speakers on the market with far beyond the 20 kHz range, but that's not the point.

He just found out that with removing the resistor also a higher kHz of distortion gets away.
But maybe i'm not clever enough 🫣🤓

I will explain why the majority of the radio does not play as well as the native radio played. The head unit is tuned to your acoustics, each acoustic is different in everything, like the interior of each car, and the manufacturer makes these settings initially. When you buy a new radio, absolutely any, at any cost, it is not tuned to your acoustics and your car, so it simply does not play, and all the proposed saved equalizers will play badly. In order for your radio to play beautifully and loudly, you need to adjust the equalizers. You need to skip the Sweep signal, 20-20000 Hz and you will hear that the sound is not uniform, then louder then quieter. The sound should go evenly and approximately in the same range. A professional will be able to adjust the Sweep signal by ear, but a simple person is unlikely. There is a way for the deaf to do this)
Believe me, installing equalizers is a huge increase in quality and volume! The volume is definitely enough for you, but you can make the quality even better only with the help of an amplifier, but this is a completely different topic. But I think there are those people who are satisfied with it, or everything coincided well and the music plays more or less normally.

I promised to tell you how to set up the radio.
1- download the SPECTRA PLUS program to the laptop, it is free for a month, and then see for yourself. Install the Frequency Sound Generator program on your phone. Program for android, for iPhone look for yourself.
Settings for SPECTRA PLUS on the first photo.
2 - download sweep signal the link below and run it in the SPECTRA PLUS program. We save the result at the maximum values. Now we see how the sound card works on a laptop, and we can consider this graph as ideal, we will stream to it.
3 - we go into the equalizer on the radio, set the filter from 60 hertz as in the second photo. We go into the equalizer mode and turn on the user settings. We download sweep signal to the flute or to the radio tape recorder. We turn on the radio volume to 15, turn on the graph recording in SPECTRA PLUS on the laptop and start sweep signal. We need to take the chart off the radio. Now we see all deviations from the schedule.
4 - we start playing with the equalizer settings, where we need to raise, where we need to lower. All values in hertz coincide with the equalizers on the radio. Please note that if we raise or lower one scale, then with it the wave and neighboring scales should smoothly rise or fall.
We adjusted the equalizers, then launched sweep signal again and took readings in SPECTRA PLUS. See what happened and move on.
If it’s hard for you to find the scale that needs to be adjusted, turn on the Frequency Sound Generator program, start the sound through the bluetooth on the radio and start looking for what scale we need, I did it in order to have a general concept.
I spent an hour setting it up and you can see what I got in the third photo. Then we make fine adjustments as we like.
There is also such an item in the setting as to select any frequency and amplify it, usually it is low frequencies, I selected 87 hertz and set the values to 9, this gives a good bass. Play around with these settings depending on the style of the music. 4th photo.
There is another important setting like delay. You are not sitting in the center of the car and the sound does not reach you evenly, here you can adjust all this. But I don’t use this setting, because I set up the radio not only for myself, but also for the passenger. This topic is well open on YouTube, search.
The main problem is that I cannot save user settings, either it is not possible in this firmware, or I have not found how. You may accidentally press the default button and all settings will be lost. If you know how to save settings or download them, write! At the end of the photo is what I got on the equalizers. Sound after tuning heaven and earth. Perhaps you have super hearing and can do all this without programs, but I could not.

So the upper picture is the power line, among others, of the DSP pin 40 (DVDD1), the recommended voltage is 3.3V.
I did not take a photo when I had the power capacitor removed, I would know what this resistor connects.

my display panel does not dims when I turn on the headlights. Is there an additional setting? Headlight detection is activated.

i have the S6
First you need to manually set the brightness levels when the headlights are on and when the headlights are off.
1. Turn on the headlights. Set the desired (low) brightness level.
2. Turn off the headlights. Set the desired (high) brightness level.
3. Turn on the headlights. Get "automatic" brightness reduction.
4. Be happy, smile, drink coffee.

It works like this.

First step is to check if the device detects the headlight. If so the backlight of the sidebar buttons will turn on with the headlight. Than follow this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-read-first-post-first.4525675/post-88309753

If not your device does not detect the headlight status which can be caused by wrong wiring or can bus settings.

Greetings.
Applications that do not have a built-in file manager cannot function properly, since when accessing memory they use the system application "files", which is not present in this system. I tried to install it as a regular apk, but it didn't want to work (gives an error). Has anyone found a way out of this situation?
For those who did not understand what I wrote here: - try installing, for example, the GoogleDrive application and try to download something from your cloud to your device. Everything will become clear to you.
All this nonsense happens due to the absence of the DocumentsUI system application in the firmware. I could have tried to integrate it into the system, but I was too lazy to mess with ADB and the terminal. I accidentally came across a wonderful FM Mixplorer, which is built on the same framework as the aforementioned DocumentsUI (Storage Acces Framework). As a result, only one extremely stubborn application continues to require DocumentsUI, all the others are happy to use Mixplorer instead of the poor DocumentsUI. However, it will probably be necessary to return this escaped piece of Android to its place. Later.

Hello everyone,
I have a microphone problem. The built-in mic is, as we all know, pretty lame so I connected an external one. That one worked a little better but it stopped working in a very weird way. While testing the microphone (with the voice recording app) I left the radio on and the recording (of the music from the radio) was excellent (even too good considering how the mic was recording voice until then). After that, I couldn't use it (the mic) anymore. It is completely dead for phone calls and for the sound recording app. The only thing it catches now is music playing from the head unit. I guess that some settings changed automatically and now it is completely "deaf" for any sound except the unit itself. I can't get it to work, and google and youtube don't have an answer to my problem. I tried unplugging it, reboot then plugging it back in but nothing seems to help. Can anyone, please, tell me how to get the mic to work again or tell me if a factory reset would bring the head unit to the state where I can make the external mic functional again without losing all preinstalled apps? My model is Ossuret S4 installed in Mazda 3. Details are visible in the picture.

I had this with my Hizpo S8.

I tried to install the Google telephone app.

I installed my SIM-card and made a call via telephone app.

It worked, the telepgone rang (home) but i could not hear my voice after the call on the call recorder.

And the microphone was dead.

I had to reboot the head unit. After this my mic was good again.

Though it is not always a solution in stead of doing a factory reset you could also try updating firmware & mcu as there are later versions available for S4 anyhow. Maybe this will fix it. Search the firmware thread for the files. Be sure to choose the option not to delete user data in upgrade settings. How to can also be found in the general thread here.

Thank you. The unit is already up to date. I did update a few days ago. the picture I have attached is 2 weeks old. I wrote to Ossuret store also and now I'm waiting for their reply. I'll post it here if I ever get it.

anyone can explain me what happend, because it is against the logic. I puted a cooper plate on cpu, i used mx4 paste (just i got it at home). And the temps are 46-48 in idle. erlier i had there a thermopad 6w/mk, and in the same condition the temps were 39-43. So I dissasembly it again, but everything look ok, the paste stick right. so I clean it, put a thermo paste again (on both side of cooper plate ofcourse). But the results are the same, pretty high temp in idle

I have a questions:
1) Is it possible to restore notifications as it is in android phones?
2) Are apps like facebook or messenger not working for you either? The radio freezes when I try to start it.
3) Is it possible to root android?

    Is there any advantage of using Android Auto or CarPlay on the Android HU if all apps you need are installed on HU and the HU has its own sim car with cell service?
    In my opinion there's absolutely NO advantage to use AA/CarPlay if you have 4G SIM with good signal coverage. You only get hotter HU being moooore busy running AA/CarPlay wich will also runs slower and also draining your phone battery for no reason.

    Later Edit: Also I see no advantage to use AA/CarPlay at all on Android HU, even with phone Hotspot is better if you don't have an 4G SIM or good coverage/speed!
    3
    AA only makes sense if you have an OEM multimedia system that is not based on Android. Conversely, with these units, it is of no use, all you need is a phone hotspot (or 4G SIM) and you can use the same apps directly, without AA .

    Naturally my opinion, perhaps not shared by others.
    2
    I have a QF03 never had a single issue with it. Have updated to latest firmware and have done 1 mcu update (1 more available not sure if I will install)
    Of course, MANY problems also arise from poor writing of the latest firmware and MCUs released by developers.

    My advice:
    If you have the unit that works well, don't chase constantly new firmware and MCUs, leave the working one as it is.
    2
    So in the end, we worked out with the seller that the BT chip is a bit cheap and allows the connection of only one device at a time - be it an OBD or a phone.
    Furthermore, autoconnect already works with my HU, because from my point of view the buttons are named illogically - when the button says "close" then autoconnect works...

    It seeems that we are all Beta Testers 🙃
    With my S8 (native all QF01) I can have both BT the phone and the OBD interface paired and connected together, without problems, so the seller did not tell you the truth, because Chinese seller of these units, whether Hizpo or Ossuret, does not They know it thoroughly, as they are NOT the real producers but only sellers.
    Hizpo (I know them) have technicians who answer questions in a generic way, without real effective knowledge of both SW and HW of what they sell.

    Hello,
    I have this headunit in the variant S5:
    https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNPpRPg

    It is working fine, but after turning it on the first time the screen went black after five to ten minutes. After turning it off for seconds and turning it back on the screen works fine for a few seconds but then it turns black again.

    The radiator on the back is connected to power so heat shouldn't a problem. When the screen is turned black audio is still working fine and all the my steering wheel controls are working.
    Also the touchscreen is working as well as the buttons on the left side of the display.

    After using it for a few rides (3*20ish km) the sreen turned white 5 minutes after it turned black. Then again it turned black but had some weird grey stripes. These stripes were also visible even after a car stop, whilst i was seeing the home screen.

    Is this a already known issue or did a catch a faulty device?

    The seller was sending me this link after i contacted him about the problem:
    The system firmware link: https://jitu2fixgreenscreen.oss-eu-central-1.aliyuncs.com/update.zip

    A video showing my problem:
    Don't listen to this nonsense about the MCU! I have exactly the same version, upgraded from 01, the seller himself told me and told me how to do it! Everything works well and there are absolutely no problems related to the MCU! I will tell you more that as I understand it, absolutely all new devices work on version 03, and version 01 is no longer supported! The seller himself explained to me that version 03 is an updated version 01. I will tell you that 100% you need to look for a solution to the problem only with the seller! For example, in my case, the seller directly solves problems with the manufacturer and gives me answers the next day. In the same group, since the appearance of version 03, they say that it cannot be installed on 01, they say the board is not the same... In fact, it is very easy to install and the board is the same!
    I write rudely on this issue, because people who write false information based on their guesses are annoying, and when you criticize them, they turn your message into spam!
    NEVER REARRANGE THE MCU ONLY AT WILL! THIS CAN TURN YOUR DEVICE INTO A BRICK, THERE ARE ALREADY A COUPLE OF SUCH CASES IN THIS BRANCH! MAKE SURE 100% THAT THE MCU SUITS YOU, ASK THE SELLER AGAIN, THEN CHANGE IT! IF YOUR DEVICE WORKS PROPERLY, YOU DON'T NEED TO CHANGE THE MCU, JUST THE FIRMWARE!
    Look for the answer from the seller!

    Hello all,

    it seems that there are some QF001 owners out there but not much informations. So i will try to collect everything and put it at one place.

    The original manufactor is shenzhen jitu technology co. ltd.

    These units are sold from Ossuret, Hizpo and other brands. This are the sellers specs:
    specs.JPG


    The Android 12 is fake which is Android 10 in reality.

    I have the 8/128GB Version myself:
    Screenshot_20221129-085346.png


    Codes for the factory settings menu:

    Different firmware versions are inside this thread. Take care of the right MCU file and beware that clear user data is enabled by default on update. There is also a dedicated firmware thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-with-uis-7862a-7862s-not-fyt-based.4541261/

    Dedicated thread for gaining recovery access: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...uret-s4-s8-uis-7862-headunits-no-fyt.4538107/

    Beside the faked Android 12 Version the head unit seems to be a good bang for the buck. I´ve paid around 230 Euros including VAT and shipping. The unit runs stable and powerful so far. Everything works as expected. The Android is a bit downcutted by the manufactor. There are no text notifications in the statusbar e.g. But i can compensate that with widgets.

    Against the description android auto works wireless with my Xiaomi Mi10t pro. So that's also nice to have.

    Tweaks, mods and others:
    - my wire harness was labeled wrong. Key 2 and Key GND were swapped. So better check the cables before connecting. For me the correct wire names/functions were in the printed manual.

    - replacement fan that fits my model: Sunon MF35101V21000UA99

    - there's a sleep whitelist in the factory settings menu that prevents apps from being killed in standby mode (ignition off). That's very useful. I've whitelisted Google maps e.g. and don't lose my programmed route anymore if i turn off the engine for a short stop.

    - tasker trigger for warm boot: detect any USB device connected. (You have to plug in something into the usb port, dashcam or pendrive e.g.)

    - the status bar only shows a few symbols and no text notifications. Therefore I use a notification widget in combination with nova launcher. This way I can see all notifications in a widget which would be at the status bar originally.

    - wireless ADB is enabled by default with root user. 🎉 The port is 9876. ( I've found that inside the build.prop)

    - if you want to have a look inside the firmware you can use a rom kitchen tool like CBR

    - how to change the boot logo:
    1. If your player is 1280*720 screen, you need to rotate the picture 90 degree, and cut it into 720*1280 size, transform the picture to .BMP format.
    2. If your player is 1024*600 screen, you need to cut the picture to 1024*600 size, transform the picture to .BMP format.
    3. copy the picture into your Udisk root path, and then connect Udisk to the player. follow the steps settings-factory-8888-Logo set-then you can see your picture and select it- click update logo.

    - enhance the microphone and call quality by using the external microphone and disable the internal microphone by masking two pins of a ribbon cable. It's explained inside this thread (link to post will follow)

    Known issues:
    - "hey Google" (activate the assistant by hotword) doesn't work
    - no car speed dependent volume control (manufacturer says it would be implemented later)
    - the firmware is a debug release which is a serious security risk (every app or malware can get root access through ADB shell). On the upside you can also get root access through ADB and do everything you want

    Hi all, if anybody would like to test a very early alpha version of NavRadio(basic), they can find it here:
    Download NavRadio BASIC for QF01

    it's incomplete, full of bugs, it surely crash here and there but still usable.
    I have enabled Google Crashlytics to help me debug all the crash and ANR so more people use it and more i'll fix it.

    The full version will come when the free version will run smootly.
    Enjoy;)


    NOTES:

    - Autoscan is done by MCU and it's fixed to 18 stations. Anyway you can use Autoseek function to find more stations or add new ones to the existing ones.
    - The first frequency at startup need to be fixed.
    - Sometimes you can hear the sound muting for a second, it's because the ROCO service think that navradio is a player and not a radio. I'll look for a fix later on..

    And now a few more!

    1122 / 2211 - both popup a bubble with chinese text. I thought they were the same at first but they have different characters. (They both have the word “log” in it)

    6655 - opens up a screen that appears to be the same as 555666 but these are also in Chinese so I don’t know if there are differences. Notably when you enter this menu with either code it will record a snippet of audio from the mic and play it back.

    4455 - engineer mode (lots of stuff in here to explore, includes adb shell)

    5544 - gps stuff

    1212 - notification that says “slog copied to unkown”

    2121 - seems to just take you home

    45645600 - download mcu file

    How did you discover the codes?
    Just by trying a bunch of different codes and looking for patterns. Starting by looking at the codes we already knew I discovered they are all a repeating sequence of digits that are adjacent to each other on the keypad. Once you find a pattern there’s usually another code that uses the same pattern somewhere else on the keypad. If you actually type in the codes and look at the physical pattern they make you’ll see what I mean. For example 114477 is just the digits in the left column of the keypad going down. 336699 is the same pattern in the right column. And then some codes are just variations on top of that, like doing a code in reverse (which we already knew) as well as adding 00 to the end of some. This is how I discovered all the codes. Once I’d find one code Id try that same pattern in all places and variations. Simple as that! I’m sure there’s more patterns yet to be discovered so try different ideas out and see what you can find. With many people using these strategies I’m sure we can discover more! I may have even missed a few using the patterns of ones I found.

    For whom that's interested and is annoyed that display time is out of sync with atomic network clock time.

    Myself don't use 4G network, but WIFI hotspot from phone.

    Each time when I opened the GPS test app, time changed and was out of sync by 2 to 4 minutes, also when I forgot to put hotspot on my phone on, after that it was taken the GPS time sync by default after startup,
    So first taken my right hotspot network time and changed 30 seconds later to the out of sync GPS time, it was also out of sync with my OEM Opel board computer display.
    With some hassle I could changed that back but needed to be sure that hotspot was always on before starting the car.

    Think I found a solution.

    Note, I don't use sleep mode, always have a fresh cold start, unit starts up with firmware date and time, 09-01-2023, 12:05:54.

    After going in the factory 5544 GPS setting, changed on first tab screen "agps" the server SUPL host to supl.google.com, changed port to 7276 (seems secure port), but you also can leave it on 7275, then tab screen "information", on the bottom page changed the satellites to GPS, Glonass, Galileo, my problem disappeared.

    My unit correctly shows the time now, after a start-up it is in sync within 1 second compared to atomic clock, with or without hotspot, mean also without network connection it syncs with GPS satellites the time correct.
    The AGPS SUPL was using the Chinese host (supl.qxwz.com) and preferred what it looks some Chinese satellites for Glonass and Galileo and somehow the Chinese GPS time is inaccurate.

    Rather Google then the Chinese that follows me ;)
