  Using E18 with LG G2 via OTG cable. Has anyone got an issue not being able to lock your android phone when using E18? i tried to lock the screen but cannot after pressing the power button at the back several times. Its only able to lock the screen after i switched E18 off. 

 
I just got an E18 yesterday. I have a Nexus 5 running a CM11 nightly from a week or so ago. I can't lock the phone with music playing through the E18 either. Fortunately the screen will turn off on its own after a few minutes.
 
Also, pressing the back button within a music app while music is playing causes the phone to reboot (and into safe mode if I leave the E18 connected).
 
It sounds great but these are pretty annoying problems, particularly the forced rebooting.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if the e18 works with the Sony Xperia Z1 compact smartphone please?

I'd like to use it with either neutron or poweramp as I hear these are great players

You guys are asking in the wrong thread. There's a thread specifically about compatibility issues somewhere.

Is the bass boost the same as the E12?

I've heard one example of the E18 working with the HTC One kitkat.  Any others?  Mine does not work.

My Google edition Galaxy S4 (stock 4.4 KitKat) works with USB Audio Player PRO.
 
But not with anything else.

Must be my post somewhere else. I've tried my friends HTC One with stock (with sense) Kitkat with the stock player and it worked. I can't remember if the volume can be controlled from the phone itself.

I have a maybe stupid question. Will it use its battery using it as a dac?

With a phone/mobile device: Yes.
 
Through the PC: No. (It will be charging).
 
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you're right but is it not the case that the constant charging is bad for the battery?

 

[BestEarCN]

doesn't it charge with the power usb port? meaning I have to plug in with two usb?
 
or the one usb connection to the pc will work as a dac connection and a power source?

 

[lukeap69]

when connected to a PC with the selector pointing at PC in, then the E18 will act as DAC/amp and at the same time E18 battery will be charging.

I see, thanks, now I see it on their website too.

This is most likely not the fault of the E18 but instead the Android ROM (CM11) that you installed on your Nexus 5. My E18 works without problems on my stock VZW GS3, Apple iPod Touch 5G as well as different Laptops running Windows 7 and 8.1.
I have a Nexus 7 (2013) with the latest stock KitKat that doesn't work correctly with the E18, but it's not the E18 causing the problem. The Play/Pause and Navigate buttons on the E18 affect the Nexus 7, however, the music comes out of the Nexus 7. Sounds to me like in this case Google did half the job, the wrong half.

Usually it is, but it also depends on if it charges constantly or just quits charging when battery is full, and then just uses the power to power the AMP/DAC.
 
Perhaps FiiO could fill us in on how this works.
