Sorry to hear that. Did you try using the FiiO control app? You can adjust some things there, and also update firmware. Might help?
Found the issue, the earhooks are fine.

Its the phone, many Snapdragon based BBK (Oneplus, Realme, Vivo, Oppo, IQOO) phones had their APTX Adaptive broken after the Android 12 update due to a bad bluetooth implementation by BBK.

Well, that's good news (at least somewhat). Hopefully you can enjoy them with another source and the issue will get sorted on the phone.

Cheers!

I really tired of these hooks. Constant issues with the charging. Almost every day when I pick them from the case they charged for 0 / 2 %. While when I put them at night into case both leds are breathing shows that hooks are charging. And again, when I need to go off the home they both 0%. Now I need to pick them off, connect to my phone to see in the fiio app their charge %. So it's totally random, sometimes they charge to 100%, sometimes NOT however as I said before each time both LED indicators are breathing with white color means they charging. And yes, I always clean contacts with alcohol. It's just like they not properly connected into the case 3 metal pins. You need twist hooks into case with different angles to get random charge to 100%.

Fortunately I have BTR5 to pick it with me instead UTWS5 while I go off the home.

@FiiO or anyone else who might know:

- How can I be sure that the case is fully charged?

After the recent change to the charging lights functionality, how can I know the case is fully charged? I can check the ear hooks from the FiiO Control App or the Bluetooth on my phone. What about the case, itself? Because, what is happening now is that I plug in the case, and after some minutes the lights stop pulsing. Does this indicate a full case charge? I have observed that if I will plug it back into the USB, the case light starts pulsing = charging, again.

Dear Nick24JJ,

Charging case status indication
Fully charged: White light goes out. (In early batch white light constantly on.)

Best regards

Thanks for confirming how it works. I have 2 pairs of the UTWS5, one from an earlier batch and a most recent one. After replacing my newest one, now both function perfectly, giving me many hours of joy, every day! The UTWS5 is the device I am using the most to listen to my music, indoors and always outdoors.

Thank you very much! I am looking forward to any available update/upgrade. :)

I had a problem with one of the mmcx connections of the utws5. of origin, they have 4 streaks. these tend to twist. maybe because of the pliers I use to remove the intras. I don't do it often but I now have parasites due to loss of collection, due to mechanical stress. I was able to solve the problem by putting it back in place with a knife Opinel. But you have to be careful about that. Most of my mmcx cables do not have these ridges and are much more resistant

So it's totally random, sometimes they charge to 100%, sometimes NOT however as I said before each time both LED indicators are breathing with white color means they charging. And yes, I always clean contacts with alcohol. It's just like they not properly connected into the case 3 metal pins. You need twist hooks into case with different angles to get random charge to 100%.

Fortunately I have BTR5 to pick it with me instead UTWS5 while I go off the home.
I have the same issue. I'll get to the gym and find it at 0 percent. Even after cleaning with alcohol and the case still had lots of juice. It's been the same issue since utws3 and I bet it'll be the same for utws10

Bummer! I've had no such issues. In fact, I've pretty much had no problems whatsoever, except for the occasional miss when trying to use buttons.

I did have such problems with Melomania Touch -- never knew if they would be charged after sitting in the case over-night.

QC problem?
