Android Settings Android 11
To clarify a few things: -Android could restrict access to filesystem even if you use FAT32 (it is about how file operations are implemented) -Apps could ignore new Google's storage policy as long as they are not updated (every app on Google Pl…

copy/exchange "favourites.xml" via ADB to new Device (Android 11 )
This won't work on Android 11. The internal storage uses Linux filesystem with advanced permission system. The system recognizes that the file is not created by Navigator and it won't let the app access to it. On rooted device you could do…

Yes, the apps cannot access data which does not belong to them or are not public. Apps have to be modified to access a file opened with e.g. file manager, that's why GPX import on Navigator does not work on Android 11: https://developer.android…

I see @filips, thanks. I was tunning the BT functionality back in 2015 for many months. The SCO is very complex and to make it working without testing device is almost impossible. However I downgraded my Navigator to version 5.5.105 and now I am ha…

Now it opens SCO connection since Navigator beginning. That's wrong, that mutes the radio as long as Navigator is opened (it should be opened only for navigation messages. The navigation messages comes with about 10s delay. I would recommend to…

Hi @filips, I tested both APKs and both are using A2DP. The autoradio I am using works only with SCO (=simulating a phone call for every navigation message). I implemented SCO back in 2015 (Navigator 2.2), I tested it on a device in MF office called…

Android audio - Select the Bluetooth device for notifications
That is for bluetooth A2DP protocol, you cannot use it together with radio music. Navigator uses bluetooth SCO (it simulates a call on every instruction) - that way it interrupts music, say navigation instruction and resume the music...

I am afraid that this cannot be solved because bluetooth messages are transfered over channel "call" and there is no better to do that.

Hi Denis, Use Navigator Settings/Advanced/Sound output channel/Use custom volume - that should use notifcation channel if I remember it correctly.
