Thanks for the helpful suggestions and encouragement about the battery swap. However, I already swapped it earlier tonight eastern standard time sometime before 6pm I was just reporting back here when I saw your reply. Still appreciate it. When I did the battery swap, I used a mini molex...

I sourced a new polymer pillow battery and watched a video on how to replace it, I just haven't taken the plunge yet. I've been using the HiBy plugged into wall power, or a phone-travel battery pack for quite some time now. Resorted to Tidal on my phone otherwise in the meantime. I have...

I also use it on the run, and doing yardwork, landscaping, working out. It can run to zero easily over hours of labor even from a full charge - or if you aren't micro managing (e.g. you didn't want to babysit it to not go over 80%) . . and pick it up at 1/2 charge to do some work or work...

long time lurker. Joined to say that I bought the Hiby R3 saber and had the reboot error when I tried to update the firmware to version 1.4. I followed the instructions posted in this thread from the hiby Facebook reply and it worked. It took a few tries before I figured out how long to...
