Slaterloverspam, BEWARE when closing the unit, the volume buttons are EASY TO BREAK !!!

GlennTidbury, I can share your pain.   A few weeks ago I got my Xduoo immerged in water and in the process of disassembling/reassembling it to dry it, I happen to break the volume up button. As the buttons were similars in shape and function, I quickly noticed the missing grey part on volume...

  XDuoo and RockBox are not at all the same thing.   XDuoo is a company providing here a budget audiophile digital audio player, with all it takes, from buttons, processors, to firmware.   RockBox team is a bunch of guys who were very disappointed by the firmware on their MP3 players, in...

  Lucky me, I didn't said anything about noticing it -- or not.   Would I had said anything, I would have felt totaly misunderstood. That was close !   Thezac.

  Hello alefello   RockBox's den is well hidden, but if you go to https://www.rockbox.org/ you may well find the team.   Along with their site, they eventually happen to run a forum, a mailing list, and an IRC channel.   If you have improvements to suggest, you'll be very welcome. They...

Well, RockBox has frequent updates, have a look there : https://build.rockbox.org/   However, these updates don't reach XDuoo X3, for this very release is coming from XVortex who did a port at a given moment.   Some more détails here, if needed ...

  Hi.   If the buttons works to navigate in RockBox menu, it seems there is no hardware failure here. Maybe during the failure a critic RockBox file got corrupted in the freeze/reboot. How about trying to reinstall the  .rockbox directory ? (maybe saving the config.cfg in .rockbox first, if...

  Nothing to be afraid of. Undocumented functionality in RockBox. Forget it, reboot, and enjoy untils it shows again. :-)   ---   More seriously. RockBox (RB) is a wonderful piece of software written by benevolents, who are comitted to offer better firmwares for Digital Music Players. Their...

To Riolist2.   Thanks to TonyVier, we have a X3 battery pic here.   The writings on it says 1) E613774 2) -2000mAh 3)160805 4) 3.7v 5) 7.4wh   If I got it correctly : 1) is the dimentions in milimeters, as earlier explained, two digits per two digits, (thicknes in reverse order for...

Thank you very much.   This is a knowledge I can use with my X3, or with my smartphone, or with my autonomous vacuum cleaner. Tomorrow, with my electric car or whatever, as life goes mobile and electric.   Regards, Thezac.

  Very nice !   Then it leads me to a few other questions, if I may.   I remember having read somewhere the li-ion where given for 500 to 1000 cycles in good conditions, before starting to nocicely loose quality  And, as those battery don't have a memory effect, a cycle was consisting in a...

Very nice piece of information for me. Thank you very much.   Original battery says "603476", which then means 6mm thick, and 34x76.   It also says 3.7V, and +2000. I assume it is 2000 mA, or 2A. Can we play freely on those digits ? I mean, if I find a bigger, in mA, battery that still has...

Congratulations.   I see you've been very careful at it, hence the succes.   The misaligned buttons could have been the proof that the device was opened, then the warranty maybe would have been voided. I hadn't thought of that first when recommending you to try disconnecting the battery to...

Well, when I look at "System information" on the original frirmware, on my device, it holds 2 seconds, then displays "X3" "V 1.1" "Storage:" "16.02G / 29.515G" "0.00G / 0.00G" Seems to me that firmware has gathered information about the SD cards before displaying it. Bigger card(s), more...

  Hurrah !!! Well, sort of.   But, definitly, congratulations for your empowerment !   I have not your device under my eyes, so I will guess a lot from what you say, and I may be wrong. It never stopped me. ;-)   When opening your device, you needed to remove two tiny screws on the back...
