Headphoneus Supremus
All I want for Christmas is the GoFigure app. Only 8 days away!
I found a few phone apps that are supposed to pair with the Poly, on the What Hi-Fi review of the Poly. https://www.whathifi.com/chord/poly/review
I still would be keen to hear from folk to say if Android phones that are used to operate the Poly pairs well. Just to control files on the SD card, and not for any other function. Please can anyone say if that is nice and stable.
My new router is from Time Warner: MediaAccess Gateway TC871`5D. It runs on 2.4 and 5. I apologize for delay.
Glider: we're loving it.
OT: Mojo alone.
Interestingly enough, I went with the iOS update, as I thought it was now safe. My nice connection cord from Latvia no longer works with Mojo. A second one was the same: initially playing but then "this device is not supported" with cut out. I discovered this at an ice hockey arena.
I'm glad Mojo/poly has 2 ports to share.
Now I have to consider my choices:
buying 2nd poly OR waiting for the price of Hugo2 "to go" module announced, OR, listen to my wife's music, which is not always to my taste, OR
listening to Finishing School Drop Out Hockey Moms yelling things that would make a truck driver blush, while they are being escorted out of the arena.
Decisions, decisions....
... OR waiting for the price of Hugo2 "to go" module announced, ...
Using BubbleUPnP I could easily playback files from my phone to Mojo with no dropouts whatsoever.
But if all of your music is on Spotify/Tidal and you have an Android device such as myself, the most reliable way of playback is Bluetooth so far. Which admittedly is quite forgiving yet still very resolving and musical.
If only I could configure my phone in static hotspot mode the same way I could with iPhone, that way I could use the Airplay protocol on my Android phone.
Same here. Very stable when using outside with my Android phone (as hotspot) and Bubbleupnp. Very fast access to both (large) SD cards (in the phone and in the Poly).
And also quite stable at home. I even played 192/24 transcoded WAV files without any dropouts (from a NAP using Asset as DLNA server/transcoder).
A few minor issues: missing artwork from the Poly SD card, very rarely it jumps in the middle of a track to the next track
If I buy Poly and a smart-phone, then I will only be using music stored on the SD card. That's what I wanted.
All the ROON, Wi-Fi, blu-tooth, and whatever else Poly does, is of no interest to me right now.
Hi guys!
I have had the Poly for two days now. It´s been somewhat frustrating up until today when I decided to get an Asus Wireless-AC750 wifi extender. Using BubbleUPnP or M.A.L.P was very slow and sluggish and I suspected the bad wifi coverage in my house.
Theory confirmed. After installing the extender today Poly has so far worked flawlessly. Both UI speed and playback has been very stable for hours now. Crossing my fingers it lasts (Although M.A.L.P runs just as sluggish)
But one BubbleUPnP issue I hope you guys can help with: unless I initially hit the "master" play button at the top of playlists or albums, playback always stops after each track and the skip forward button doesn´t work. Very annoying. I am spanking new to this DLNA thing and BubbleUPnP and would very much appreciate your help. For info I´m using a Sony Xperia X Performance.
Thanks!

I agree, we're very lucky that Chord has allowed us to buy their product. I can't understand why anyone would think that a pin isn't the perfect user interface. I think an App would be overkill.
Yes, and we should all change our network gear because it's obvious that it's not Poly that isn't working correctly. And while we're at it, let's all buy new USB chargers, because obviously it's not the Poly's fault that it can't be powered on.
Indeed, we're all whiners who should stop complaining, why on earth are we expecting Chord to deliver updates when they say they will? I feel so privileged that they occasionally turn up the forum to explain why we are at fault.
I'm proud that chord have allowed me to spend £500 on a product with less functionality then a Raspberry PI!
Send it back.
Have you thought it might be faulty, I’ve spent no money on routers etc etc and my unit works fine.
Without being facetious, I really suggest that you wait until the "to go" is available and has received early independent reviews before you purchase. As we have seen, there can be a long time between "announcement" and a functional product being delivered.
Sorry about the hockey moms. I can confirm that the latest iOS makes it much more difficult to connect Mojo to an iPhone or iPad. I have even had trouble using the Apple adaptor.
+1.
I too think Glider is currently the best App for MojoPoly, i think it was @NYanakiev who brought Glider to this Thread. Very good find, i instantly bought it. I think i bought nearly all audio apps in the Appstore. It's a big mess.
