Yeah, the OBD adapter never gets a BT icon to show it's connected, only the phone gets it.


I never got very far with BTTether, as my last phone (and even my current) don't support it. Killed by the carrier it seems... But there were a couple of threads somewhere in here about using it.

Good to know about the icon.. that is one less thing to worry about I guess.

It doesn't seem like bluetooth tethering is such a big ask.... bloody manufactures should have to tell people they have stuffed up base features in android in their units. My phone is a pixel 3 XL with android 10 and I can verify it is actually offering internet over bluetooth, I just can't route the Joying to use that connection as it's gateway... It's annoying because wifi tething chews my battery life and I'm already connected to the unit via bluetooth for call features. I might read up on how BT tethering works.. perhaps it's possible to use a self targetted VPN type app like DNS66 to trick the OS to use it as a gateway without breaking existing functionality.

I removed BTteather as it either didn't give me any feeback that it did anything other than turn off the wifi or it didn't do anything other than disable wifi...
I'm a linux admin so it's weird to feel powerless on a box we have root on...

Hi Folks,
This is driving me nuts.. I've bought two different bluetooth adaptors trying to get my Joying unit to pair with ODB2. It says it connected, but when I open Torque or forscan or any of the others they say choose a device and none are listed despite my minutes before pairing it successfully.. it also seems to forget or at least not list devices it has paired with between reboots so you don't know if it's working.. it also doesn't find stuff during scans somes and the only temp fix is to reboot the unit (full reboot using joying tools.)

I've paired the obd2 adaptors to my phone and they all work fine.. it's just the joying unit they won't work with.. I'm about to try a USB adaptor to see if that helps but it's not a good solution because the usb bluetooth adaptor doesn't fit well in enough to put the fuse box cover back in. Currently my unit has Joying extra tools, is rooted, has exposed and has the default with readonly contacts installed and the nokill option installed.... the rest is basically standard. I gave up on BT tethering and am using wifi now so all I'm trying to do is get the BT devices in the car reliably connected.. (UPDATE... tried the USB OBD2 cable and it works fine so it isn't anything wrong with torque on the unit.. it's borked bluetooth.. Still hoping to fix it though as the cable is a problem.)

What combination of features/settings are folks that have it working using?


can anyone make any suggestions?

cheers

Frank

Date and Time mods for Joying/FYT SC9853i

Hi all

I have just upgraded to:
https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-a...roid-car-stereo-head-unit-with-4g-module.html
My old SOFIA unit as attached was stolen.
I have root on new UO134N4GS
JET 75 installed.
Can anyone point me to tool to do date and time mods as I had in attached?
Another tool not in JET? (I can't recall - sorry)
Many thanks in advance

That's an Xposed plugin. There is no Xposed available for the SC9853i.

......yet?

Thank you

I don't know. The main developer(s) are all on PX5/6. So we need a developer on intel.
Next to that: They already mentioned that it is increasingly difficult to implement it on higher Android versions as Google closes every loophole.
I created the XSofiaTweaker/XFYTtweaker modules, with many contributions from others, but I can't use it either anymore on my SC9853i.

I have a sc9853i unit @gtxaspec do you know how to change the SRC key function? I only want to change between Spotify and Waze, is it possible?

Just a question, is the Xposed plugin still experimental ?

The installation of the XPosed plugin via the JET tool is experimental. The Xposed plugin itself not.

 

[japioothuis]

My device app shows Joying Sofia 3GR Car, Marshmallow 6.0.1
So there should be no risk installing Xposed via the Jet tool ?
When I do the gpsspeed fix no risk of screwing my gps or in worst case the headunit ?

Installing Xposed via JET on the Sodia is a risk.
I personally never had an issue myself and I have installed it at least 5 times (Of course I also did multiple tests in trying to find a fool-proof method and then I also had bricks), but there were several users who had a bricked unit (which could be solved by simply flashing the firmware again).
Actually the installation is untarring a compressed tar.gz into the correct folders. Wh.y that works on one unit (most units) and not on some others, I really don't know
When Xposed is installed, you can install gpsspeed without any issues.

 

[japioothuis]

I'm not an expert at all but could the reason it works well for some and some not has to do with the firmware version of the OS, installed apps, apps running on the backgroud etc ?
Just like some Windows updates won't install on some computers.
Pity that it is not possable to make a restore point in Android to go back to that point instead of a factory reset.

By the way, I read in post #91 at the [XPOSED][INTEL][PX5] 4 Xposed modules to tweak your FYT based (Joying) unit that the GPSSpeedFix is only in the JET apk ?

I do not exactly understand what you mean. The gpsspeedfix is still downloadable from my repository.
For the Sofia it is in the JET apk.
For the PX5 and sc9853i, the JET apk hides it as the PX5 and sc9853i do not need it. Only the Sofia has that bug.

@ surfer63
Please forgive my ignorance but do I understand well that installing only the gpsspeedfix apk ( from the downloadlink or via the JET apk ) is without risk to a soft brick of my Sofia head Unit ?

Gpsspeedfix will not brick your unit, but it needs Xposed to function as it is an Xposed module. Without Xposed it will simply not start.

Thanx, now it's completely clear !

hallo everyone.

I need small help...

I have an camera Junsun S500 ADAS Mini Auto DVR Cam and Radio Joying.. Android 8.1, Intel Socket 1.8 Ghz, 8 core ( don't remember the symbol... )

The problem is... On the camera internal storage there is and .apk called Ucardvr. I can install it ofc, everything is working fine but... This app sucks ( i have chinese marks on the screen etc ). I've tried to install Traffic Guard or Drive Recorder, but those apps doesn't work.

Every third party app has no acces to camera... Is there an option to change It?
