Disconnecting from BT phone call reverts back to SYNC radio:
The issue is when you're streaming music through the tablet, and then receive a BT phone call in SYNC. Once you disconnect from the phone call, the software puts you into SYNC radio and you have to re-select what you were previously listening to in the tablet. As I was reading through the posts in the FB group, it looked like someone was able to get a custom power button that replaced the "MODE" button in the radio app (in Phoenix radio app to the right of the 1,2,3,4.... channel presets). My understanding from what I read, was that you can now turn off SYNC radio (previously you couldn't because the physical power button was removed), so that after you hang up from a BT SYNC phone call, it will go back to the tablet streaming.
I don't think I can help with this one. My BT doesn't work at all. I don't use it for music though, and haven't found myself missing it for phone and texts. Hope to get it fixed one day though.
While troubeshooting issues with Sergey, it was discover I was properly set to FORD HI, but not to the settings underneath that. I think this is the source of most of my problems. I have configured for Sync 1 and not Sync 3. I've reset it and reboot several times, but no change in features. I suspect that it hasn't triggered an actual change, so I'm going to try switching it to FORD LO, somethign complete wrong, then FORD HI w/SYNC 3 and see if that helps. Since my system used to work before applying PX6 upgrade last December, I really think/hope that's the issue.
Steering wheel track selection buttons don't work properly:
Same issue as what has been mentioned in this tread. Advancing to the next track, advances the next song, but also mutes audio. I've noticed that double pressing the track advance works without muting the audio, but unfortunately advances 2 songs. The work around for me was advancing 1 song, and then pressing VOL+ to unmute audio.
Again, I'm not much help here. On mine, next track mutes volume and restarts the current song. Completely useless. Again, something I want to fix, but I've got used to using the screen to switch tracks. Again, this used to work and I think the Sync 3 config is my problem.
FWIW, I upgraded my tablet from a PX6 Android 8, to their PX6 Fastboot with Android 9. The only benefit so far is that I'm not getting that slow tablet boot on cold days. Every time I start up the truck, I'm at the NOVA desktop. Downside is that I can't seem to get the top and bottom bars to hide. Tried connecting a laptop with ADB and Fastboot to the tablet, but it doesn't seem to recognize the device. Sees my cell phone just fine though. The other downside is that the steering wheel track issue since I didn't have that problem before with PX6 Android 8.
Sergey's firmware will help here. Although I'm not sure the bootup changes, it is set to always open up to the last music app you used...or what's set as your Online Music app...not 100% sure yet. Regardless, I don't open to Nova anymore, but a useful app.
As far as the tool bar's Sergey's version adds an option to show/hide the top bar and option to show/hide the bottom toolbar. You toggle these on and off without rebooting. He's got other new options there as well, and renamed some of the old options so it's more clear what they are for.
As a bonus, I now get to claim that I have a Chinese tablet with American/Chinese/Russian software on it. It's an international effort.
