Hope it's ok to post this here but if anyone's interested, I'm selling a pair of FA-4 E XB over at the sales forum.

Thanks for the link, did not see it yet. But I think this a little bit too much for me. Afraid to break some of those tiny plastic switches. I better send it in.

Hi guys,   I'm having a problem with my transport buttons becoming unresponsive.   Someone in the Rockbox thread suggested to open it up and put some card between the buttons and the switches for better responsiveness. My question is: Has anyone ever opened up the DX50? I've only managed to...

  Sorry for getting back to this again so late, but I've tried to open my unit and could only manage to open it from the back.  I've tried to open the front but am afraid to break something. Right now I can only see the back of the board. Anyone who had the front opened already with a tip how...

Thanks for the info. Could you tell me what kind of Rom you were using? Because I've tried XVolume on Sense once and I could change the volume steps to 45, but the volume only changed every third step. so effectively there were still only 15 steps. I've also read from a lot of people having...

Now that the crackling issue is fixed and I can use my M8 again for music, does anybody know a way to really add more volume steps system wide. I tried xvolume for xposed once, but it wasn't working properly.

Nevermind just checked on mango and it's also happening there. So it seems like a hardware fault. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm still having problems with the transport buttons (mainly skip forward) occasionally not working on first press. Sometimes I have to press it 4-5 times for it to work. Haven't used mango in a long time, but I remember not having these problems with it.

Thanks for the new build cholero. Didn't have time to test it yet, but I very much like the idea of switching off the screen with the power button. Wouldn't like to do it with the hold button because I tend to keep the device unlocked so I can easily skip tracks without taking it out of my...

htc m8 with Westone w40, sennheiser momentum over- + on-ear, hd25-1, soundmagic hp100 = crackling Dx50, Sansa clip zip, headphone out of dj mixer (with all of the above mentioned gear) as well as active Rokit monitors, and several live PAs = completely free of any crackling Only IEMs that I've...

I'm using the 128gb SanDisk card without problems. It has been formatted in an Android phone before, I guess that's fat32.

Again, my device is not revealing recording flaws it's just crackling on amp overload. If your unit is fine, I'm happy for you, but there's a lot of users reporting this problem who might be interested in the cause of it (or a fix for it).

Yes, I think this noise is either caused by the youtube upload, or due to the production. With this track, the crackling is so obvious on my device (at loud, but not really deafening volume) that it's impossible to overhear.   Now it would be interesting to know why some devices are affected...

  Then it might be true that there are really just a lot of defective units (I remember someone in this thread talking about huge variation in sound on different M8s), or you're just lucky because of your setup & music choice.    Could you checkout this track with some kind of over ear...

  Very unlikely, I think it's just the amp clipping.   Else the M8 would be the only device that I've ever played my music on revealing those recording issues. The crackling appears on tracks from lots of different genres, from 1940s Jazz to 2014 EDM, and it's always the same sound.

Interesting. Just to confirm, you're testing with headphones and not sensitive iems and volume of at least 13/15? Also some musical styles are more prone to crackle on my unit than others. Sometimes it's just on very few drum hits of a track. A lot of times completely clean at any volume level.

Yes it was european, although I remember that there was an option to remove some volume capping in the menu. But I guess that's not the capping you're talking about.

Not really, had an iPhone 5 for a while which had good sq but not enough power to drive the bigger headphones. Also don't like ios too much. The amp of the m8 was the promising thing, but I ultimately decided to just use a DAP for my portable music.

I've tested the M8 with Sennheiser Momentums (over + on ear), HD25-1 & Soundmagic HP100. Had problems with crackling with all of these. But depending on the musical style you won't hear it. I'm getting it a lot with sub bass heavy music like dubstep as well as with music with lots of dynamics...

Having the volume lower definitely helps, but out of interest, I've once tried to push the volume to unhealthy levels to provoke the crackling and can't remember hearing any.

Can't really say. I have two pairs of 16ohm IEMs (same as yours) and they are both fine. Tried some westone W40s (31 ohm) and had occasional crackling with those. I would guess they will be OK, but you should really try it out before buying (or buy with option to return it).

Yes, I've been using that same rom with its stock kernel. With my Fischer Amps IEMs, I also don't have a problem with crackling (never had it before though), but with less sensitive headphones it's the same amount as before. Cheers.

I've tried 2.12.401.3 (firmware & rom) yesterday and nothing has changed. It's still playing with the same crackling on certain tracks at high volume.

sorry, what I was trying to say is that I'm aware of that and to double check this behaviour, I made sure the screen is turning off while in WPS screen. After some minutes playing with the screen off, the transport buttons still sometimes only respond to the 2nd, 3rd or 4th press.

Anybody else having problems with transport buttons becoming unresponsive after a while playing with screen off? I've read about problems with the power button, but it seems to work fine on my device.   I'm using the latest mod from cholero (thanks again btw.) and of course I'm keeping in...
