As the title suggests, I'm having trouble playing back certain Wave files. I've tried poweramp, winamp and doubletwist. While most of my other Wavs work, I have a particular one that has a really static sound at regular intervals and another that cuts out half way through. I can't understand these issues since my PC plays them fine. Yes I have tried copying them several different times, so it's not a file corruption issue.
Please help!
it could be a compatibility issue from cm7. take screenshots of it and upload to cm7 issue list, i do not think much can help on this. and I think cm7 cannot play .avi files too.
Can you attach the file here so that we can try it on our phone?
Hey sorry about the slow reply guys, I was ill on the day I was going to reply and then royally screwed up my phone trying to get the Doc Rom beta working. I'm sorry, but I don't think I can place the song up here. It hasn't been released to the general public, I'm just lucky and know the sto artist. I do have some more information, I tried it on 2.2 stock and it worked perfectly. I couldn't try it on 2.3.3 stock unfortunately, so I'm not entirely sure whether it is an android 2.3 bug or whether it is a Cyanogenmod bug. I'm using the Miui rom now, which I might add is amazing! However the audio problem is still there, probably since it is based on CM. I might have to convert to Flac in the meantime, which isn't that bad because then I'll have some meta data!
I just got myself a Captivate for $120 from cowboom.com. Great phone, just a smaller version of Infuse, which I also happen to have. I really like the fact that charger port is at the top.
Anyways, when making calls, I hear mild but noticeable static which bothers me a bit. When I plug in an earpiece, I only hear it from left ear piece and sound through right ear piece is just fine. Can we tell if this is because previous owner flashed incompatible ROMs/Kernels/Modems, or just a bad hardware? I don't want to return this phone because it has a perfect GPS, but I will have to if the static problem is hardware related.
On a different note, I never knew that GPS on Captivate could be this good. It is a lot better than my Infuse. I had a Captivate about a year ago and GPS on that was a colossal mess. I feel like I need a PhD to understand the inconsistency of GPS chips in Captivates and Infuses.
Thanks in advance.
Here's some more info:
Baseband Version: I897UCKB1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: FROYO.UCKB1
Modem - I don't know how to find out....
I just rooted it and tried some sound mono conversion apps from the market which didn't help. Thought process was that if I can just mute 'left' and get all my sound through 'right' - that would solve the problem, but none of the apps allow me to change the left-right balance discussed above.
Baseband version IS the modem. Everything running is compatible.
You might want to try flashing a different modem. Top of the development section is a sticky.
Make sure its a I897 modem and not I9000.
If you're rooted then you might want to try flashing a voodoo kernel- that will get you nice sound boost and some clarity.
you can try flashing a different rom/kernel/modem...but if that doesn't fix it then i'm pretty sure that's a hardware problem...
Hi all, I'm certain this info can be found in tons of places on this forum, but I'm brand-new (first post, woo!) and that amount of info here is a little overwhelming.
So, first thing's first: Pumpkin's forum is crap, the one moderator there either doesn't allow posts about android upgrades or flatly denies it isn't possible (I know they're lying).
I have a Pumpkin RQ0248, using an RK3188 cpu and still running Android 4.4.4. I've learned here that it's also known as "MTCB-KLD6-v2.85". It seems like my car radio CAN be upgraded to Android 5.1 (which is awesome), but I'd just like to check some facts with the experienced folks here:
- I download an "Update.img" file to a... microSD card? USB? (Does it even matter? Pumpkin's site says microSD in the maps slot).
- I run the System update button (or whatever it's called) and select the above image file. Let it do it's thing. It'll reboot, at which point I do a factory setting reset? I believe so.
- The file I've downloaded is "KLD_LP_rk3188_p_2016_05_11", I think it's the right one, but I want to be certain. Perhaps there's an even newer one?
- While poking around (and getting confused) I saw some people claim their radio app sometimes would stop working? Is that a regular thing? I know how to enter the "factory" settings (using PW 126) and saw that some people just had to change their radio chip version? Is that trial and error or is there a specific one I should use for mine?
Thanks for all the help in advance! And sorry for the newbie questions!
Anyone? Please lend a hand... I'm very nervous about flashing (and possibly bricking) my car radio...

You need to take pictures of the pages in factory settings for later use. e.g radio and other settings.
What you have given so far concerning MCU it should be possible to upgrade. Don't touch MCU, only
ROM needs to be upgraded.
Also be sure you can get in to recovery. Important is also the screen size 800 or 1024. You have to pick the right one. If you don't
know go to play store and install an app that tells your screen size. It doesn't matter in which SD-slot you're upgrading from.
Normally we use the GPS-slot (left one).

ROM? I thought MCU was the important part that needed to be "flashed".
Can't post links to photos... not enough posts yet... Just tell me other info is required beyond what I posted originally?
I know my screen size is 480x800. Recovery mode, I don't know right now how to get enter it, but I know it exists (button combination held when booting).
Was the file I mentioned in my first post not the correct one to use?
The "official" response from the Pumpkin trash "tech" is that there is no real upgrade for my unit, but he provided a link for me to try it (aka removing any responsibility for bricking the radio). So full of crap, I've already seen RQ0248's being sold online with Android 5.1
If you haven't figured this out yet...here you go. I believe you and I have exactly the same unit. I actually read your thread with Jammy and his responses. HAHA. He isn't much help. I actually flashed what he provided to you and it booted, but the resolution was all off. I think that was for a 800X480 unit.
Pretty simple:
Download the latest V2.97 MCU image file for KLD6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3246386
and download the latest Malaysk Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69366390&postcount=860
I just put them both onto a USB flash drive, booted into recovery, and flashed them. After flashing I wiped data again and flashed them again, and wiped data one more time. First boot can take some time, but it's working flawlessly now.

Yeah, don't get me started with that forum over there... I shiver in disdain with my entire experience there.
TBH, Im like 99% certain my radio is 800x480 (we ARE talking about the RQ0248 right?). I'm still running the v2.91 MCU with the stock image "that person" gave me. And at very least, most of my issues with the radio have improved since doing so: My FM radio reception seems a little clearer, and the Bluetooth audio quality (streaming from spotify on my phone) is also quite a bit better.
That being said, everything about the 5.1.1 OS i'm running is HIDEOUS. The home screen and radio app particularly are just so ugly, aesthetically-speaking. I wasn't about to push my luck on the other forum though: it was hard enough to get an official response to fix my software bugs in the first place.
So, question time!
1) What does MCU v2.96 offer vs v2.91?
2) What does the Malaysk ROM offer vs the stock 5.1.1?
3) Does the Malaysk offer different skins? Customization?
4) Is there some way to improve the functionality of the built-in radio/music apps? (ex: no ID3 tags from MP3s... I'm pretty sure my MP3 player from 2002 has ID3 tags, this radio does not).
Thanks for answering! I had almost given up hope for this forum, it seems very popular in some areas, but this section seems to have much less in the way of activity.
Looking forward to hearing back!

I'm not sure what the benefit is of the 2.96, but it's newer so it must be better! That was just the latest so that's what I used. THere are a ton of benefits so you should read the thread....but here are a few: Malaysk offers quite a few optimizations, built in root, customization including skinned apps and radios, and MOST importantly in my opinion is the FUSE support...which means the full 16gb of system space are available to use for apps. You won't run out of space again. Yes there are other music apps included in his ROM as well, but I haven't used them much so I can't really speak to their functionality...but I'm sure it's better than the stock app.
But, do the new music apps work with the steering wheel controls?
That pumpkin forum is ridiculous lol yes im after a factory looking stable rom with fuse the origional firmware that came with the 2.85 mcu worked flawlessly but it double booted so i tried custom firmware when he sent me the original firmware again, it wasnt the same it didnt even boot properly with 2.85 i had to update the mcu to 2.91 for the firware to even become useable

Can I get an answer to this? The music app is terrible in terms of supporting things like ID3 tags and the like.
Don't even get me started on the 5.1.1 radio app, never seen something so hideous.
So I really want to know if there are alternative apps out there, or at very least better skins, for the garbage apps that Pumpkin dishes out.
Side Note: How good is the android auto integration in these head units? I've never tried it myself.... But Android auto is quite pretty to look at, and I really wouldn't mind tethering my phone via USB cable to my car radio if it meant a better overall experience. That being said though, things like the steering wheel control absolutely MUST function with android auto tether/mirror link/whatever it's called too.
Thanks in advance for anyone that replies! It's unfortunate that so few people do reply here, and this forum has been far more helpful than any other I've used so far.

Pumpkin is a seller only, there is no such thing as a "Pumpkin RQ0248", its a Klyde unit. I m guessing you havent bothered to read the wiki, if you did youd find a load more info and realise that that your unit is the same as any other Klyde unit no matter what it looks like on the outside or who you buy it from (Eonon, Pumpkin, Erisin ) and that its also so similar to any other MTCB or MTCC head unit made by the 10 odd manufacturers who produce these units, that it can use the same software as all of them.
I m also guessing that you dont read or look in the main threads in the 4 MTCB/C forums either, cos youd know all about the custom ROMs and modified apps that are available.
I m guessing neither did the OP or he wouldnt have opened the thread in the first place, we cant have a thread open for every made up model number by every seller of all 10 manufacturers, there would be literally 1000s of thread all with the same content. All the info for this unit is the same for any other MTCB/C unit.

Oh look everyone! I've found the @#$%.
Kind replies are far more helpful than sarcastic, snide, rude and jerk replies. Instead of replying next time, I'd prefer you not reply at all.
There are actual helpful people here that could explain these to me nicely, and have been doing so thus far. These forums are MASSIVE - I don't have the time to read for hours and possibly put myself on the Wrong track if I happen to miss some important details. Also, unless I somehow was able to magically learn what a Klyde radio is on my own, I had never heard of that detail before. Maybe a nice person could've explained it to me.
But kind isn't you. So please go away and allow the nice people to speak.

I didnt write anything that was unkind, snide, sarcastic rude or jerk, I simply gave you some information about where to look to avail yourself of some basic info about your headunit, I didnt have to, I wasnt paid for it, yet I did, in my book, thats "kind". What you require, it seems is someone to spend their time re-typing out whats already been written in other threads into this thread, because you cant be bothered to either look for it/read it yourself (known on xda as "spoon feeding").
It seems that you also havent bothered to read the post I just made properly either, because if you had, you would have seen me refer to "the wiki" (also linked to in the sticky in the very first post of this forum AND in my signature !) and would realise that you dont need any "magic" to learn what a "Klyde" is, you just need to read something mentioned TWICE on the screen in front of you !
In your previous post you also complained that "so few people reply here", if you read what I wrote in my reply, you ll realise why that is - theyve all read the basic info and are replying in threads that apply to ALL MTCB/C headunits.
On xda youre supposed to read stuff and find out for yourself and if you cant find the info you need or dont understand something or need help with something then there are loads of people (including me - look at my thanks meter) who will happily help you. But its clear that you havent read a thing, nothing, not one bit, not the sticky in the general section, not the Q&A section's first thread, not the wiki, nothing, diddly squat. So to help you in the way you want, I would have to write whats already been written and I aint doin that - you read at least the basics of it and ask questions if you dont understand something or cant find it.

Sounds like the ROM you were given was more up to date ROM - new features often have to be enabled by updating the MCU too, as that controls a lot of functions. Its also because you now have an MTCC MCU - 2.85 is MTCB, 2.91 is MTCC and older ROMs dont work with older MTCB MCUs.
Yup it is now a mtcc unit ... im actually using kld9 2.98 i think, i found now my new rom is also double booting after an app install , so its certain apps that cause double booting. Just outa interest what rom are you using? (if you have a kylde unit)

I m using booroondook's ROM. When you say double booting do you mean it boots, shuts down then reboots ?
Basically boots up as it should , then after about 5 seconds boot logo appears then boots again doesnt shut/power down , it started after i downloaded an app called virtual dyno mobile, i will try the rom your using

Thought so, not heard of that before, strange.
Yeah its common across the pumpkin forum. I dont know where they are getting their roms from but they are terrible.
