  Can someone pm or post a direct link to 3.21 and 2.14b for me?

Here's the link to my volume-modded 2.14b. I've noticed people keep posting the link to a previous version that's not available any more (and hasn't been for a while).

I posted this in the FW 3.21 thread but thought I'd repost here since this one is more active:
 
My initial experiences for a week + with FW 3.21Beta:
 
PROS:
1 - no more random freezes as in every other FW update I've encountered, even 3.0 (a BIG improvement, probably the biggest)
2 - beautiful sound signature (open, full, balanced)
 
CONS:
1 - same issues with as everyone else with hiccups in gapless playback (a drag when listening to live albums or stuff like side 2 of "Abbey Road").
2 - big discrepancy with 2-cd album files (new issue with this FW update, but did NOT experience this with other updates):
 
ALAC ID tags are correct in that, with 2-cd albums, cd 1 files are tagged as "disc 1 of 2" and cd 2 is tagged as "disc 2 of 2". Yet, when I'm in "album " mode, the songs list as follows: song 1 of cd 1, followed by song 1 of cd 2, then song 2 of cd 1 followed by song 2 of cd 2, and so on. I double-checked my tags and even the native folders in itunes and they're all listed correctly, yet this FW update is listing them differently, which is a real drag.
 
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Discussions about the Beta firmwares should be taken in their respective threads.

Is still present

Hey guys,

Using 3.0 firmware, I'm finding that after about 20-30 minutes, the X3 just turns off. I have all idle settings and such turned off so not sure what it could be. Is this rectified in 3.2 at all?

Hey guys, I just got my X3 but do you guys remember if you had to do a full charge? Because I've been trying to turn it on (while charging and also plugging it out) but it won't do it. Is this normal?

Check the Hold switch on the side :rolleyes:

Ahaha I have tried that but still no dice

Do you remember if you couldn't power it from the box?

I didn't even try, I fully charged first.
Did the big charging icon appear on the display after a couple of seconds, when you plug in the charger?
And the red LED?

It is still 5800 tracks. I sent an e-mail to FiiO and they say they are working on it and they will hopefully either extend or cancel the track limit on a future firmware.

It is always best to fully charge the X3 when you first get it. I do have some problems when I want to use it while it is charging though. It doesn't seem to turn on for me when it is charging. All I need to do is make sure is isn't fully flat and make sure that it gets turned on before I put it on charge. It will then work fine while on charge.
 
I think that FiiO recommend it having a full charge before you even do anything if you have just got it.

Hmm, thats strange because the red led does appear but nothing on the screen(all black)

Does your x3's led turn green when fully charged? Ive heard some have issues with the charging and it never turns green
