N7 head unit install 2007 Toyota Tundra

So I bit the bullet when the N7 came to the market and decided to install it in my dash.
What you can't see in the pics:
stock HU moved back 2" to allow clearance for tablet
stock volume controls were removed and relocated to spare plugs under heat controls
stock display/FM controls was relocated and velcro'd to top of HU (you cannot see the display at all)
extended N7 Power button so I can power cycle it
Found 2 after market slim adhesive backed buttons to allow to toggle between aux input (tablet) and FM radio. They were the ONLY thing I could find that was even close to stock looking. I still have to print labels for them.
So I retained all stock vol/channel controls, used the aux in for tha tablet audio, and now have a WAY better entertainment package than stock.
I lost (or just didn't care to integrate):
Preset ability
FM display
AM function
So, here are the pics:

That's pretty sweet, good job! Did you choose not to make the tablet removable? From the pics, it doesn't look removable. Any plans on crafting some kind of cover for it for security purposes? I know the tablet is cheap, but people out there like to be assholes for no apparent reason.

I was wondering that as well and thinking that it be pretty neat if he was able to make it so it slides in and out so it be something similar to a dvd tv. Still cool nontheless! And impressive that you were able to move everything around to still make it work.

I did not want it to be removable because when you do this much work to have an in dash entertainment system, if you lose it, it gets stolen, or damaged, you have no music!
I have seen some that slide in and out and thought they were cool, but for what I wanted, this works perfect.
Also, I forgot to mention.. I tether through my Bionic to get 4G internet (where available) and use Jango as my internet radio. It is highly customization and you can make some pretty awesome stations. Only problem is they haven't implemented the action bar yet, so my audio settings are still on low and I cant exit without a force close... but they will upgrade, hopefully.

How did you run the power? Did you snip the usb end off and run into the fuse panel? Looks fantastic by the way.

I have a question, obviously it charges from the car battery but what if it turns off???
More of a case of how did you extend the power button

Power was a second 12v power outlet spliced in behind the stock one. Tis provides constant charge when there is a draw, and turns off when charged. At least thats how it has been working. I think there might be something in the truck wiring that senses draw.
I use screen off to manually turn off the screen. I had it set to timeout, but that interfered with having the screen on while driving.
I cracked the case open and used my dmm to find 2 small solder pads that were shorted with the power button. After soldering on some very fine gauge wire i added a pushbutton switch that i havent found a home for just yet.
Also forgot to mention, the factory stereo was gutted of the cd changer, and all i would need to go back to stock is 2 plugs for the vol/tuner control and a new head unit which you can score for $50 on ebay.

Very nice. Would love to do this on my 02 v6 mustang.

Best way to start is to buy a double din kit for your car. The rest is pretty straight forward.

[Q] Smart Saving Bug - Anyone else seeing this?

Hello, guys. I am encountering what I think is a very weird bug with Smart Saver. I'm hoping that some other people can test this on their systems and if, it's just me, I'm going to return mine for a new unit.
With Smart Saving enabled, the screen will automatically increase and decrease brightness constantly as different pages and app's come up. In my case, the screen seems to flicker almost every time I swipe and I can't stand it, so I disabled Smart Saver. The icon is OFF on the pull down status panel and it's turned off under settings. However, whenever I reboot, I still encounter the screen flickering and dimming constantly (although it seems to be to a lesser degree). If I pull down the status panel, turn Smart Saving On and then off again, the problem goes away until I reboot the system. This is at least encouraging me that maybe it's just software and I can deal with it for a month or so.
Here's what I want someone else to test for me. Turn Smart Saver off. Turn the tablet off and then on again. Pull down the status menu and carefully watch the screen. The open portion of the home screen will dim once (which is normal). On my system, after about another 1/2 second or so, the screen will flicker or dim again slightly. It does this every time, but it might be hard to notice unless you are looking for it. When side scrolling between home screens, sometimes brightness will increase slightly and other times it will decrease. Pull down status panel, turn on smart saver, turn it off again and the problem goes away.
Help, please? Mine is a US model if that makes any difference on build 10.14.1.47.
Thank you very much in advance.

Did you download the used 10.14.1.47 manually from Asus website or was it an auto update from the device itself.

Manually from the website.

I kinda have the same problem, though on my tab it is only the auto brightness that sometimes will increase/decreased constantly. Disabling Smart Saving or auto brightness helps in my case. I only have the problem when i'm in a room where there's light but the room isn't totally bright, and the tablet is with its back to the light source.

Others can correct me if I'm wrong but the 10.14.1.47 isn't being pushed through the device itself. I'm finding most people are downloading it manually from Asus website. . My estimation, I think Asus is aware that the update has some issues, thus not force updating it through the device until they come out with the latest fix.

You might be right about the update. Although I was thinking more people should have this issue. Maybe they aren't rebooting their tablet often enough to notice it as once I enable/disable Smart Saver, the problem goes away until I reboot. That is a satisfactory work around, but I was hoping for confirmation from at least one other person seeing the same thing in terms of returning the device. Amazon has decent return terms, so I'll probably wait until the next update and see if that fixes it. Thanks.

I'm on .47 and I have the same issue as well. I also noticed that the brightness will increase 2-3 steps every time I bring up "settings". This is regardless of auto-brightness on/off, smart saving on/off, outdoor mode on/off.

Auto-brightness is useless: Usually it's much too dark, and the auto-setting is changing with strange behaviors.... it's kinda jumping up and down as other described...

Thanks, since others are experiencing it too, at least I'm hopeful that it will be fixed in a SW update.

Did someone contact the asus-hotline?

Same thing here, bought the unit in the US and also experiencing the same awkward behavior. This would actually go away when Auto Brightness is turned off.
I am also getting issues when docked. Sometimes after some time (maybe a couple of hours) as soon as I tilt the tablet to its normal position, I would find it completely off. Had to turn the device back on a couple of times now.
These are too many annoyances for such an expensive unit.
Hope they fix the Auto Brightness setting at least.

Disabling Asus Splendid app in settings -> apps seems to stop this behavior.

How did you do the upgrade to 4.3? Seems like it is not yet available for the US. Would you install another SKU from TW lets say, if your tablet were from the US?
I really feel like upgrading cause there are too many things not working well on 4.2.2

Either download right version from asus.com or wait a bit, I guess it will not take long until it's rolled out everywhere...

I totally agree. It's much too dark on auto and the constant jumping around drives me bat$#! +. For a 4th Gen, nearly $500 tablet, you'd think this sort of thing would be figured out by now.

Mine is still the same after the 4.3 update. I can see whatever algorithm it is working. For example, switch to a dark screen, wait 2 seconds, watch it darken a little more once a second for the next three seconds. Then the reverse in switching to a mostly white screen/app.
The good news is the dock doesn't seem to disconnect anymore.
Just can't decide about this thing. I want to love it as much as I loved my TF101 but I just don't (yet?)

Theirs nothing wrong with your device. It's the ambient light sensor built into the device. ..

Absolutely. It's just really freaking annoying.
I have it right here in a bright office with fluorescent lights, which I would think would vastly marginalize the amount of light reflected from the display itself back into its ambient light sensor. Merely dropping down the notification column causes visible shifts darker (when coming from a light background) in steps, over several seconds. (and it's in the dock on the desk, so the device isn't moving at all)
So my argument is the algorithm used to determine the backlight of the screen puts to much weight on the white balance of the screen. It's distracting and annoying. And it would be one thing if this only happened on "Auto Brightness," which it does not.

P20 Pro Camera Flickering Bug Issue

My P20 pro has camera flickering issue like that of Google Pixel 2 camera flickering issue.
Photos taken with the camera while pointing to lights are so bad and I'm super annoyed. I bought this device 2 days ago.
I have tried factory reset , safe mode etc but nothing helps.
Can someone tell me if this can be fixed with software updates or this is hardware issue in my unit ?
Is anyone else having the same problem? My P20 Pro model is My unit is CLT-L29
Check this youtube of the flickering issue so you might understand the problem im talking about.

I assume it's a refresh rate issue on the screen, lights are constantly flickering I got some cool super slow mo videos of lights on holiday, they are a constant red light but clearly not, I assume that's all you're seeing on the camera as well

Hi Dave. In your video that is screen refresh rate because of heavy music and lights i beleive.
But in my P20 Unit it is issue in camera. I mean even if im in my room with two three lights, it gets all black lines everytime and photos,videos taken are so bad.
It is ruining my moments and im disappointed.
I have tested s9+ and Iphone X under same environment but they both work fine and no black lines at all.

Check your settings, and try with the 60fps option on and off
It might have something to do with the refresh rate of the camera and how it's set, try changing it and see if it changes something, for me it worked

How can we change the refresh rate of camera. Im not sure we can do it on mobile.
its not about display refresh rate.

You can change between 60fps an not 60fps resolutions
Changing between this resolutions is the only change I have seen

I doubt this is a hardware issue because it's more related to the refresh rates of the lighting which happens to synch with the shuttertime of the camera. It causes visible banding across the display. It will happen with all cameras, even DSLR's if you match the shuttertime to the frequency of which the lights refresh.

Yes you are right. This is some hardware issue. But the things is this problem is not present on any Iphone and Samsung. I have tested many samsung phones and iphone x. They all handle lights pretty good but huawei fails at this.
Trust me photos and videos get ruined and you see black and white lines on the picture.
Its just annoying that such expensive phone can't handle lights flickering like cheap samsung phones and old iphones.
Just search Google pixel 2 screen flicker on youtube/google and you'll see what im talking about.

Just use Pro mode with longer shutter , should fix it

Tried it but doesnt work

No, you misunderstood my comment.
Usually this phenomena happens for the reasons i described. It happens on my $6000+ DSLR camera too and the only way to get around it is to change the shutter speed to a different one which does not synchronize with the refresh rates of the light sources. It's not a malfunctioning hardware, it's more like a limitation which can be worked around by either software hacks or shutter adjustments. Although changing the shutter speed might not work as expected with the type of electronic shutters we have in these mobile devices.
Just because you haven't seen the effect on the other devices you mentioned doesn't mean the issues don't exist there. This is a common issue on cameras with electronic shutters such as phone cameras, and even more so when you use auto settings under certain circumstances.

Hi. I have the exact same problem. Were u able to solve the problem?

It's the LED lights that is an issue. It flickers a lot faster than the human eye can see.. but the P20 will pick that up. To get around that, go to Pro and lower the ISO and increase the shutter. It works for me.. the longer the shutter, the more evened out the flickering becomes and it won't be an issue. The LG V20 has manual video and I was able to get around that, but P20 Pro doesn't have manual mode for video.

Fingerprint scanner doesn't work in the evening

I bought 9t pro 5 days ago. Every day since then at about 7 pm and until morning my fingerprint scanner practically stops working. I've seen about 3 other mentions of this on the internet so far. I thought it was because of night/reading more since it's when it starts, but even with disabled reading mode the issue still remains.
Does anyone else have this?

Also getting this. 9T Pro too.
Funnily enough can trigger it by just changing date/time in settings. Screen hue changes slightly perhaps related to that.
Anyhow once my unlock comes thru in 4 days time I'm off to Pixel Experience so will live with it til then!

Did you try registering the fingerprint once more in the evening? Try this and report back.

Yeah I added my thumb an extra two times yesterday evening (have left thumb x2 and right thumb cx3). Didn't help.
Haven't tried registering thumb in diff orientations but the diff between fingerprint recog at night (even w lights on) and during the day is very stark.

I got better results unlocking my phone when I pressed my finger slightly harder into the screen. You really want the ridges to be directly on the screen. I've been used to the oneplus 5 where a light touch was all I needed.

Are you perhaps changing your identity after 7? Are you living two lives? These kinds of physical changes can account for a phone not recognizing it's master. Vigilantism is a crime you guys! Be careful with what you talk about. Lose lips sink ships and the white rabbit can be rabid at times so, it's not good for your health to follow it all the time. Perhaps the phone is punishing you? If I was stuffed in a pocket frequently, I'd probably fuss around 7pm and start retaliating. Little inconveniences like forcing you to tap your access code rather than reading your fingerprint is perhaps vindicating for that poor suffocating phone. Maybe if you change fabric softeners to something it likes, it won't have issues being placed in your pocket? Or maybe it's just hot in there. You could try placing something cold in your pocket with the phone (don't forget the change in fabric softener! This is important!) and your phone will feel more comfortable.

Do you wash your hands around that time? I can't do finger scan after I wash my hands.

Try disabling auto brightness and change it to more brighter, in low light conditions the screen tends to be very dark.

Wow.... Finally the update for multi-tasking

what does the update ade for multi tasking? And can you finally use custom icons on default launcher? I'm on x fold 2 and haven't gotten anything like that...

Unfortunately, the update is not yet displayed for me

It's currently out for me. If it isn't out yet, reboot your device and try again.
That being said the software experience is really REALLY similar to the vivo x fold 2. Just as snippy and I've been waiting on the implementation of the dock for a year.
For those with the original vivo x fold, there may not be a huge reason to upgrade given these fresh quality of life upgrades. Especially if you have a vivo x fold with a boot loader unlocked (or if you joined the developer beta/public beta in winter last year). I wish this came out last year like the Samsung ones but I can't really complain.

I can see them with the app AOA: Always on display

I used that app, AOA, a few days ago and it worked great and then the next day never came back on. No matter what I did, even reboot the phone, it never appeared again. I turned the app off and on, I even locked it to the home screen so it didn't get shut down and nothing. Any ideas?

I tried the update. Like it. Only Battery seems to take a hit. Maybe it needs time.....

I was stumped too. Was just about to delete it till I tried my fix. The stock aod is nice however can't get notifications for anything but phone and messages and the battery percentage is too small to see properly. I like the upside down purple triangle effect though and will go back to that if AOA fails again.

Agree. Vivo's software philosophy is strange: no matter whether it is focused on Chinese or global users. Some of the restrictions does not even make sense even for the Chinese market.
But, damn the hardware is excellent! I am so sick of the narrow screen of Samsung Fold, I am tolerating the UX issues of Vivo. I also got Oppo Find N2, but that software is worse than Vivo.

Agree. Vivo's software philosophy is strange: no matter whether it is focused on Chinese or global users. Some of the restrictions does not even make sense even for the Chinese market.

Agreed. I was with Samsung since 2016 before this phone and my lost phone was the z fold 2 which was an amazing phone don't get me wrong but that narrow outside screen annoyed me more and more as the years went on. The fold 5 is going to he just as poor and the pixel fold will be too short and have problems of its own, plus just as expensive. Vivo was a no brainier, hundreds cheaper, amazing inside and outside screen, ridiculous battery life and charging speed, 1800 nits brightness plus much more. The software is definitely a learning curve and like you said, some things don't make sense at all. I'm struggling with notifications and I still, no matter what I do, can't get floating notifications for WhatsApp when I'm using the phone. If phone is on standby I get the message preview on lock screen, dark mode or not but when using the phone all I get is the icon at top left. I have every setting to allow notifications, I'm so stumped. Weirdly I'll get the message preview if I already have a WhatsApp message unread and then someone else sends, me a message. I get a line from each new message then. Very frustrating.

Exactly the same issue for me for Whatsapp messages. No floating message notifications.

OK so it's not just me. It's so weird isn't it. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed soon.

Google messages notifications works in dark mode now
