Output to had no devices available, weird, but typically "Poly"

What WiFi mode are you in?

I just replaced my Poly battery - I tired four different 103450 replacements and only one works - link below.
A 103454 also works but is about 1mm too large to fit in the Poly case.

Note that the battery that works is 2200 mAh. The others that I tried were 2000 mAh.
Also the working battery reads 3.7-3.8 W on a multimeter. The others were 3.9 to 4.1 W.

Be sure to not remove the PCB board from the case - this will dislodge the optic light, which is challenging to replace.

I’m only on day 2 of the replacement - so far no issues on battery only power. Ran 4 hours yesterday, will do some more tests today.

I can post my Poly battery replacement notes with pictures if anyone is interested.

My question for the group is regarding the Mojo battery. I replaced mine about 3 years ago from hifipro.ca but they no longer carry it.
I don’t trust the replacements from Amazon or AliExpress. Open to suggestions.

Thanks for this

I ended up getting my battery replaced from The Sound Organisation, the Poly has been flawless since.
I sent them my Poly on a Monday and had it back by Friday. I’m in NJ and they are in TX.

They fix the optical light bar and even send you a Chord button and magnet.

Here is the contact info.

Moon Audio recommends this charger for Mojo2+Poly: https://www.moon-audio.com/tronsmart-usb-charger.html

I ordered it when I purchased Poly from them and have had no problems so far. Still the first time you want to let the devices charge for at least 8 hours according to what I read somewhere on the forums.

Looks good!

You can use your cellular wireless when connected to Mojo2+Poly running in Hotspot mode.
This works well if you are using the Poly for SD card playback and you carry only one mobile phone. Instructions are for Apple, Android is similar.

The Poly will have a iOS network name “Poly-########”. This is located on the iPhone’s Settings -> Wi-Fi.

Simple choose the small “I” in circle to the right of the Poly’s name in Network and complete the following:
*** Change “Configure IP” to manual.
Choose any 192.168.1.xxx address except 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
Leave Router blank.

*** Configure DNS manually - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are Google’s DNS servers and they work fine.

I also enable “Low Data Mode”

iOS will remember your settings unless you choose “Forget this Network”.

The blank gateway will allow iOS to route items destined to the internet to your cellular data instead of the Poly (which is 192.168.1.1).
Auto-Join will connect to the Poly network when it’s available and disabling Auto-Login will prevent the Poly’s internal login page.

This is the process that I use to enable hotspot mode.

1. Power on the Mojo2/Poly
2. Open Gofigure - attach to your Poly and choose Hotspot mode (top left icon), Poly will confirm and reboot.
3. Connect to Poly WiFi network in iOS. I enable Auto-Join and disable Auto-Login.
4. Use your MPD software to access the Poly’s SD card - if you set a manual IP without a Router / Gateway - you will have internet access via your iPhone’s cellular plan.

When finished - you can simply go into GoFigure and disable Hotspot mode - I usually just choose “Airplane / Bluetooth” mode, confirm and let the Poly reboot. Then turn off your Mojo2/Poly.

While this somewhat intricate - it allows you to use your iPhone with the Poly with cellular data.
This is working as of iOS 17.5.1.

I also have to post a very positive experience with the Sound Organization’s Rick Williford.

I sent my Poly on for a new battery and the entire process was seamless. They completed the work and my Poly is working perfectly and returned to me in less than one week.
They even re-positioned the optical light that can fall out if you take apart your device.

I’ve written a couple of posts regarding the Poly’s battery and how to replace it. I would recommend using the Sound Organization or any other Chord approved vendor if you want your device resorted it it’s original health.

The new battery charges to 100% and discharges about 10-12 percent per hour of use - just like it was new.
Plus I retained my original battery and its connector - so I can attempt to create a on/off toggle switch for the Poly battery. If I’m successful - I’ll post it here.

The Sound Organization email is “support (at) soundorg.com”.

This is a great post for IOS use cases thank you

I finally have the latest firmware on my poly, but when I was resetting up the poly to use my phones hotspot, I manually entered it so now it comes up as a network with no name and says connected if I reset to factory settings do I lose my firmware update? If I go to factory reset and delete Gofigure, can I start over with the Current firmware

No it won’t roll back the firmware just default the settings

Hi all,
I have just purchased Mojo2+Poly after having enjoyed the original Mojo for years. I now wanted to go without cable to iPhone, and wanted a streamer for my Headphones, and I do Not want Roon, but rather use Upnp/DLNA. So I choose the Mojo2+Poly.

I have tried to upgrade to the latest firmware 3.2.4, from 3.0.0 on iOS and Android, but got the email from ED from Chord Support, that the upgrade server is currently unavailable, and that it is being worked on. I will wait patiently, as the Poly is working fine for me.

I use Mojo2+Poly with JPlay for iOS, and stream Qobuz and Tidal on 2.4 gHz WiFi . This sounds absolutely fantastic! I am extremely happy with the sound quality, and that it works with JPlay is awesome, as I have used this since its initial release, normally playing to my moOde setup and Metrum Adagio. Much better than mConnect. It also allows me to have my iPhone as hotspot, and the Poly connected, this way I can still use JPlay on the go via mobile Data (have 1TB here in DK)

With my Dan Clark Ether Flow Closed, I now can go all over the flat, and the DSP is excellent, and with the CrossFeed set to Max, ie Blue this combo of Ether Flow C + Mojo2 + Poly is rather toe-tappingly-good. However, it seems the Poly “stalls” in the middle of tracks every now and then, and I need to re-Que the tracks, and it plays again, is this something other people are experiencing too? Or has this been sorted in the 3.2.4 firmware?

All the best from DK

I’m sorry, I can not get JPlay to see the Poly from JPlay when my Poly is connected to my mobile hotspot on my iPhone, no idea how I did it before, I can only get it to work consistently when both Poly and IPhone are on WiFi network in the flat.

It is a iphone issue I think, mconnect won’t work with mconnect neither that way

Can JPlay stream my Amazon Music songs? At least the ones I downloaded in the AM app?

If another music app can play it, ie its not encrypted then JPlay will be able to steam it otherwise no.

Hi all

Had the Poly for a couple of months now. I've settled on using Mconnect to access Tidal and my Naim Uniti Core music server.

Am interested to know what the actual data flow in this scenario and hoped someone could confirm.

Am I correct in thinking that Mconnect requests a Tidal stream to be sent directly to the Poly and Mconnect remains in the loop for control but does not process the stream/file?

Many thanks
J

PS, did Rob W develop the Poly or just the Mojo?

Just the Mojo. The Poly was done by a 3rd party company called Disign Consultants for Chord. Their site should be http://www.disignconsultants.com/ but that doesn't seem to work for me this morning. Maybe they're hiding from angry Poly users (although I don't have a problem with it for my use cases - Roon and from the SD).
