Over time I have seen instances of what you said, where it sometimes takes some time for the OS to register the new battery percent. It feels like this is what was leading it to look like it was draining battery at a very slow rate, then after turning on screen briefly just to check battery and...

Update: I paid for and installed "BetterBatteryStats" (since I saw you used that to demonstrate in your post) and recharged to 100% while in Android, then let it sit for ~3.5 hours. I come back and BBS says it was in deep sleep for 3h36m (99.5% of the time) and yet the battery is drained to 95%...

So just to be clear, you aren't saying that it's bad for my battery to charge outside of Android (say when the device is turned off), or to boot up less than 30 minutes after shutting down... just that the battery readings will initially be inaccurate if I do that? I have media scanner...

I use 275L2 and I get ~0.3% per hour sometimes, and other times >1% per hour. Seemingly random. Any suggestions on how I could diagnose my problem?

I had same problem. Try twisting the mini toslink jack (not wobbling back and forth, just rotating it) while pushing it in lightly. for me this made it go in with no more than normal pressure.

I did for sure notice this on 2.10.275-L0, so it isn’t specific to L1. I can’t say for sure if I saw it before that.

But whoa does it start up fast!!! Thanks for this, it is awesome!

I would have thought that one of the biggest advantages of Mango OS would be better standby battery life, but I disabled auto-off my DX150 just drained 9% in 3 hours on standby in Mango OS. Honestly, it seems like under the right conditions Android OS can do better than that. Oh well at least...

Has anyone figured out how to consistently get decent standby battery usage on this thing? I sometimes get ~3-4% battery usage per day (awesome) on standby, and sometimes 25%. Seemingly random. It's frustrating because I know with the right conditions, it *can* use a sensible amount of battery...

I was getting this exact same behavior on the official FW 2.9.250. I tried all kinds of suggestions from googling what might fix this. Supposedly it has to do with a mismatch between play services & play store. Nothing I tried made it work, until eventually Lurker firmware was released. If you...

I'll have to check. Do you think either 2.4GHz or 5GHz is less likely to exhibit EMI noise?

Is it normal to get EMI noise from this thing? Even an occasional "beep" when using wifi? Using Andromeda (of course known for emphasizing any hiss or noise from your system), 3.5mm TRS single-ended output, things sound really clean on balanced w/ WiFi turned off, but with WiFi on, I basically...

@Paul Any chance we could get Mango to better support whole album FLAC+CUE? It already kind of supports it: it finds the individual songs, and plays them, but it first plays from the beginning of the FLAC for a brief moment (less than a second) instead of from the beginning of the song. This...

Instructions don't say anything about USB out anywhere I've found, and I haven't tried it. But there is a digital out 3.5mm port that doubles as either mini digital coax, or mini digital optical.

Solution for others who may be having this problem with using a mini TOSLINK cable in their DX150 SPDIF port: I ordered cables from another brand, and they also took several tries to get them inserted. Finally I realized that a trick that works well for me is to rotate the cable while applying...

Or a digital coax to 3.5mm cable that is compatible, and longer than the ~6" one that came with the DX150

Any chance you can recommend a TOSLINK optical mini cable to optical cable that is more compatible? I'm looking closely at images on amazon and the mini TOSLINK connector has a steep angle on all the connectors when I look at closeups of the product images.

I'm n00b in Android. Should I be setting the SD card to be used as internal storage? If I do this: 1) will the players internal storage be used too, or will it be completely replaced by the SD card storage (and thus wasted) 2) it says it will erase any existing content and format it specially...

Is it normal that it is kind of hard to get a TOSlink mini into the top SPDIF port? I have a couple of toslink mini cables I've used on my macbook pro (that has a dual headphone/optical port) and it works great. I tried it on my DX150 and it works fine there too... once I can actually get it to...

@WilliamLeonhart what's "low impedance" for you? I've ordered one and should be getting it in a few days. For low impedance, I've got an LCD-X (20 ohms) and an AH-D7000 (25 ohms) both of these easily get to comfortable listening levels on normal gain with volume knob around 9 o'clock of Oppo...

Ah, if I can also add pages to detail things there, looks like exactly what I want. But first how can I edit it?

I've been messing around with cable DIY for a bit now (made a couple of cables from parts, modified a couple of cables). There are lots of good threads (e.g. on /r/headphones and on head-fi) with Q&A, but very its a lot of information spread across a lot of different sources. There are a few...

I'm planning to make a few headphone cables soon, and wondering, is a Y-split even necessary (if you're braiding)? If you're braiding four wires then switch to two twisted pairs, would it actually come undone without a Y-split of some sort? So far I've only made a pair of speaker cables...

I've had an HA-1 for about a year now, but used it only for headphones so far. I am starting to think about hooking it up to some powered monitors (but haven't bought them yet). I'd really like to be able to toggle only one or the other on, without having to disconnect anything. I see...

Tried the ZMF Omnis. This was interesting for me because I have Alpha Primes that I use in one of my setups. I liked the sound from the Omnis. I didn't have my Primes there to do a side-by-side comparison, but I think Omnis probably sound a tad better. Probably isn't a completely fair comparison...
