Android Eonon GA2114 - unable to shutdown fully? / also 'preparing SD' for USB stick

Hi,
I have just bought and fitted a Eonon GA2114 Android unit
I have one or two issues please, and would really appreciate some help
1. When I hold the power button to shut the unit down, it says 'shutdown' for a second and the screen goes dark. When I power it on again it comes on immediately as if the stereo is switched on all along, just with the screen dimmed. (It does not boot up Android) - I should mention it is fitted into a campervan running off a leisure battery. Shouldn't make any difference I'd have thought but it is a permanent battery connection (No ignition on/off) is this a clue? I wondered if it was to do with the ACC wire if so?
2. When I do 'wake up' the Car Unit it seems to take quite a few seconds or so to 'prepare the SD card' - this can only refer to my permanently connected USB drive full of music (Via the rear of the unit) - surely this should be ready to use immediately the car stereo is on? It means I can't just switch on, and play music. Any ideas please as it is very annoying?
3. A brief one, what is the best locally stored Android music player to use please? for car use that is?
Many thanks for your hep

I must admit I am a little surprised to have no replies so far? Anyone pls?

Hi, is there anyone that can help me with this please. many thanks?

Does the unit come with root, if it doe you could download a reboot app, most require root to function.
I don't believe these units actually shutdown, just go into standby mode, you cab check with the ENON techs.

No root as far as I am aware, a good idea otherwise thank you. I am still unable to fully power off (Or reboot) the unit. It seems to draw a lot of power and will drain the Leisure Battery for sure. I have emailed Eonon a few days ago, but not heard anything back. Not sure if they are active in any of the forums for a quicker response?
As for the USB Memory Stick with music on, I am still having the problem of 'unexpectedly removed' and 'preparing SD card' each and every time the unit is first used / turned on. Any ideas please as it's driving me bananas! thank you

I have the same unit and yeah it says powering off and it isn't powering off at all, it is even still connected to my phone via bluetooth when it has supposedly powered off!

Thanks for your reply, that is interesting. I have had two replies from Eonon so far. As I thought the ACC cable may be the culprit.
1. Unit can not shutting down completely
Please check whether you have connect the ACC wire always on BATT? If yes, this unit cannot turn off completely.
Please find the ACC control wire on the Fuse box location, then connect the ACC wire to the ACC control wire, the unit can turn on and off via key.
2. If you use the USB Memory Stick to play music? If so does yours have the delay issue as well? )Answer from Eonon copied below so far:
Yes, it will show message when you plug in or plug out SD/USB, this can not change.
But if it shows some error message that make the SD/USB would not work, would you please take a picture to show us?

I have the ACC wire connected correctly as when I turn the ignition off the stereo acknowledges this and turns off/powers down but that function is hard wired supposed to turning the unit off at the on/off/volume knob (while the ignition is on). Their answer is just avoiding the issue as the unit turns off fine with the ignition, it doesn't power down like it says it is when the ignition is on. I just turned my 'off' with the ignition on and could still connect to it via bluetooth....
I can't comment on point 2 as i've yet to rig my amps up and play any music!

Mmmmmm, thats not quite so good then. I was thinking that it might be the ACC as mine is running from a permanently 'on' Leisure Battery. I will probably pop the stereo out and have a look in the next week or so as I can't really change the battery situation (The idea is so that I don't run the starter battery down as it is a CamperVan)
I must say though that I am impressed with the sound (I have been testing PowerAmp, and PlayerPro and they both look and sound STUNNING, the standard player kept skipping for me at least)
I'm still looking into the other thing (Memory Stick) it works, but it's annoying really

I just got my unit yesterday and installed, so far very good device.
I noticed there is a setting in setup to delay shutdown for 30 seconds, and up... Maybe you are not waiting long enough for complete shutdown.
If you had the ACC wired to Battery, the unit screen would not shut off (i think).

ACC being connected to a permanent live compounds the problem as whenever ACC is live i.e ignition turned on, you can't power the unit down at all even though holding down the power button it clearly states "shutting down" when in reality it merely turns the screen off.

Thank you tiff_lee, I think that is exactly what happens in my case (Just the screen goes off)
It is draining my 12v battery rather quickly! If I was to disconnect the ACC cable will I still be able to power it on and use normally? (In my case the car stereo works from a campervan leisure battery. The idea being that you can have the radio on at any time without the ignition having to be on. Also it doesn't drain your starter battery at all)
Many thanks

ACC is accessory power. Accessory power is only powered when a key is on. If you don't have it wired to a ACC source then it won't properly shut off. Wire the ACC with the power wires and put a toggle switch between the battery and the power wires. I would think that would solve the problem.

If I understand your first post correctly you have the ACC connected all the time so yes the unit would effectively be on all the time hence the power drain. Leave the main power connected at all times as this also powers your memory, connect the ACC wire to a 12V+ supply via a toggle/selector switch and just turn it on (via toggle switch) when you want the unit on.
That aside though it doesn't change the fact that the unit does not power off when it says it is.

Hi
Been following this thread and having same issues I only have mine connected by the iso adapters and the unit doesn't seem to shut down fully,have had 1 flat battery so far after not using the van for several days on recharging battery and turning on it showed full start up screens.
Other issues are not being able to turn off the radio once turned on apart from in settings "force stop app"
No voice guidance in the Sygic GPS app.
Someone asked for a good music app,try N7 player,also Smart launcher is very good ,have it on all our Android stuff.

I have bought a Pumpkin KD-C0224 Android car unit and it's working great.
1. Have met the battery drained issue before and the Pumpkin seller suggested me exchange the "ACC" and the "B+" of the iso adapter.
They explained that the “ACC” and the “B+” of my car is opposite to the iso adapter, so I tried and it worked.
2. Maybe your USB Memory Stick is beyond the unit can support, or you can try other USB device with less than 32GB to check.
3. I have Spotify on my unit and its great, I think.

Hello,
someone did you solve this problem? I use the same multimedia Eonon GA2114 and have the same problem .In the moment extinguish my car out inscription 'unexpectedly removed SD card' Just to give contact and back contact without starting the engine again my written 'unexpectedly removed SD card'.
After starting my written 'preparing SD card' and starts from the first song. I'm tired just listening to the same song Please if anyone can help.

I have a very similar problem which has only started to happen recently on my Eonon head unit.
The problem is when you turn the unit off it shows a message saying "storage unexpectedly removed". When you turn on the head unit again it has to remount the USB drive and it starts playing music again from the beginning of the MP3. It never remembers the last play position of the MP3. This happens on various makes of freshly formatted USB sticks. Its very annoying....
I have done a full factory reset, disconnected the power and also re-connected all the cables from the back of the unit - but this did not resolve the problem.
Not really sure what to try next...any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Wifi Not Enabled after Reboot - 12 Hour Time setting Resets After Reboot

Ok, I installed the new Joying 10.1" VW head unit in my car the other day, and it's working pretty good, however I'm having a couple of issues. I installed Malaysk's ROM onto it and still working through setting everything up the way I want it, but I'm having 2 issues I can't figure out, and they are driving me nuts.
Wifi: Whenever the unit reboots, the WiFi is disabled. I have to manually re-enable it every time.
12-Hour Time: Every time the unit reboots, the time reverts back to 24-hour time.
Anyone know what I can do to fix these issues? Getting rather annoying having to switch them every time the unit boots up.
Thanks

Sounds like the 12+ and ACC connections are swapped.

Thanks for the reply, but the unit is switched on Via Can-Bus. There is no ACC wire. It powers on and off just fine when I start and shut off the car.

Then your 12+ is not constant.

Yep it is, verified with a volt meter, 12volt constant stays hot, even went out and checked after my car had been off for over an hour just to make sure... I shouldn't have said there is no ACC wire, ACC is supplied by the Can-Bus adapter.
As far as the wiring goes, I'm confident all of that is wired correctly. I used to install car stereos as a job for 5 years, and this is the 3rd head unit in this vehicle. I'm an Android enthusiast, and definitely know my way around the system, even though this is my 1st Android head unit I've dealt with.
The 12-Hour time issue was happening before I installed the ROM on it, but the WiFi issue didn't start until after I installed the ROM.

Ok, thats a puzzler then. My observations have been that wi-fi will turn off and 24 hour set every time power is lost on the 12+ line. It seems independent of rom used, would happen on the stock rom and on a older version of Malaysk's I'm currently using.

Well, for whatever reason today the settings never reverted back. I don't remember changing anything, but I did go through every single menu and sub menu in the settings section. Oh well, fingers crossed everything stays set, because this head unit is perfect for me now!

I have the same issue + no bluetooth. I have a YINUO 1024x600 Quad-Core RK3188 and it's doing the WIFI OFF, 24 HR, NO BT.

Black screen and unresponsive unit, but radio is playing

Hi,
I recently updated my rk3188 MTCB-YM from 4.4.4 to dsa’s 5.1.1 ROM. All went well with the update. After a couple of weeks, I found the ROM was starting to run quite slow and was almost unusable - except if you kept the unit on for a long time. It was like it was loading a lot of things for a long time and once that was done, it became responsive immediately instead of being delayed to button presses etc.
So I decided to boot into recovery and do a wipe all/factory reset. My unit does not have physical buttons or a gps sd card slot. None of the usual boot into recovery options work so I use an app to reboot into recovery. I started this app and chose the correct option. At the time I did this, the radio was playing. The screen went black and the stayed like that with the radio still playing. The lights on the unit are still on but nothing works - no response at all. I have turned the car off and left it off overnight. When I turn the car back on, the radio starts playing again immediately. (This would normally take a little time while it boots up, so the unit is obviously stuck). As I cannot do any of the reset/recovery options - is there anything I can do? I haven’t removed the unit to see if it is possible to short the pins as I don’t have access to a bench power supply and have limited skills. But I will try this if there are no other options. I also haven’t removed the battery terminal to cut power yet. That was going to be my next test. But wanted to see if there was any advice before I do this.
EDIT: I took the plunge and disconnected the battery, and the unit started back up again.

HU doesn't wake up ramdom

Hi,
I installed this HU in my car a month ago and I still have not gotten it to work properly. My main problem is that the unit reboots randomly and does not turn on again.
I have tested the reset button and checked all the wiring. I have connected the 12V direct battery and the adapter for the steering wheel gives me the 12V ACC.
It seems that the radio goes into some form of protection until it suddenly decides to restart.
I really do not know what else to check. If I modify some parameter in the factory settings, it asks to restart, it only shuts down but does not turn on.
Yesterday afternoon it worked correctly but this morning it has not started.
any ideas?
These are my specs:
Car: Alfa Romeo 159 (2012 year)
HU: Xtrons TE706PL
MCU: MTCE_GS_V2.88_3
steering controls: Connects2 CTSAR002.2 + CTMULTILEAD.2 Patch Lead

I'm experiencing the same issues with my PX5 / CSN2 headunit from Klyde. Sometimes the HU won't come out of standby, the screen remaining black and buttons not reacting at all (but with LED backlight). If I had FM radio before turning off, it will start playing audio only in the background. Turning off the car engine triggers a restart, as if it entered some unrecoverable state.

First...update the rom and mcu to the latest available
Try
Second...disconnect the connects2 and use the unit without that canbus to ensure there is incompatibility issues. Try

Well, in my case the unit doens't start, nothing, no led, no sound... I think the problem is that the unit is not able to make a cold start after going into deep sleep

I can't update the frimware if the device doesn't start...
I'll try, but it is not easy because my car doesn't have 12V ACC so I need the connects interface to get the power.

To test, I would do this.. Connect the acc direct to battery.... The deck should turn on.. Reboot the deck while it's on. If it boots back up... Then the above poster is probably correct. Your module is not working correctly and not giving a proper acc signal.

The unit was connected with ACC wire connected to the Connects2 adapter. But yesterday I connected the unit directly to the car only the wires; ground, 12V battery and 12V ACC. The device started and worked fine. Turn off the car and five hours later the device didn't started. Today 20 hours later the device doesn't start either I tried to disconnected everything and connect again but the problem continue.
I think the problem is, the device is not able to do a cold boot after to turn off the radio. How to do a factory default reset? maybe this fix the problem.

I connected the device to direct battery and the first time worked but now it isn't able to start....

Dasaita Max6 PX6 4gb/64gb volume increases on power down

Hi All,
I recently updated MCU and firmware to latest firmware on Dasaita's site:
MCU V3.69c：https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/pf1zz4
Android 10 Update PX6 HA3_rk3399_10.0_ota(20201217) https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/rbsz9o
Since update, I have a strange problem. When I turn the accessory to off, the volume bar appears and increases 5 levels.
Example: volume start at 5, turn acc off, volume increases to 10 before power off. Turn acc back on (volume at 10), turn acc off, volume increases to 15 before power off.
My fear is that, should I have music at a high volume when I turn off the vehicle and turn the vehicle back on, I could see voice coils flying past my head.
Since it is an open cockpit (no roof) vehicle, I do tend to have volume very loud.
I have checked factory settings for boot volume - it is turned off.
Thank for any input.

Well, it goes from bad to worse.
I contacted Dasaita and told them I had updated to the MCU and firmware listed in the post above. Both are what is listed as current firmware on Dasaita's website.
They emailed back and said I had incorrect firmware for the Max10. They gave me the following links (direct copy from email):
PX6 10.0 HA3_rk3399_10.0_ota(20201214) https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/f3gyol
PX6 android 10 （1113）
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rO-wBK8rvVZsXT_5IjN3MyuMY00utZZX/view?usp=sharing
So.....
I updated with the first file.
Now the unit has different problems.
Upon removing accessory power, the unit auto launches the default navigation app, and then powers down.
On power up, the default navigation auto launches, followed by an error message that "Zlink has stopped".
This happens EVERY power up.
So, I tried to update with the second file. Update fails claiming that the unit cannot downgrade to this file.
This sucks for me. I told a friend how great my system works and this unit was actually going to be installed in his vehicle tomorrow.
Any ideas?

Try disabling zlink.

I tried everything.
Emailed Dasaita for a bit of help as the problem only happens on the new unit.
I updated both units with the same firmware/mcu. My radio had no problems (been installed for 6 months).
This new radio continues to be a problem.
I re-updated with the same firmware. Several times as each time seamed to give new problems. SDK errors, wouldn't launch play store.
Each time I did select to wipe from the upgrade menu.
Currently, initial power and boot up appears fine.
When I remove accessory, the unit auto-launches the default navigation program prior to going to sleep. If I apply acc power within 30 seconds, the unit powers on and auto-launches Zlink. If I wait more than 30 seconds for full power off, apply acc power, the unit boots and auto launches navigation as that was the last active program.
Is it possible to completely reformat and load the update from scratch?
It just seems odd since I have 2 identical units on the same firmware yet only one is doing this.

If you update android there is an option „wipe...“ maybe you check this.

"wipe data" was selected with each update.
I ended up returning the unit for a new one.
No troubles with the new one.
