Am3 sounds more powerful and cleaner , haven't tried my am5 yet. Nothing wrong with my Google services

Firmware update just made my x7 a useless piece of junk. Constantly getting the message. "Unfortunately fiio music has stopped" and it is not going away. It's unusable now and no clue how to reverse it. After six months of excuses this is what we get.

What, the x7 is junk????you must be joking

Did you try a factory reset?

It's basically unusable now. Constantly looping the error message. fiio has abvioisly not done their homework properly before releasing the firmware. I hope they have a solution for this SOON

It's probably time to try a reinstall from recovery mode. Have you already tried that?

BTW, one other oddity I've discovered with the FiiO music app... Try unplugging your headphones, then plug them back in and immediately hit play. The volume level is muted for about the first 10 seconds, after which it quickly ramps back up to the level at which it was previously set. Anybody else notice this? FiiO??? I presume this is a bug, because if it's a feature, it seems pointless and annoying.

The Play/Pause button is now operating correctly in the new FW - no need to wake the screen.

Good job Fiio!

No need for sweeping generalisations just because you're having issues.
 
Have you tried a factory reset? 
 
EDIT: FiiO, the OTA update was perfect on my end. Prompt installation, and is working smoothly. VU meter is a nice touch - thanks guys!

Yes, happened to me too, as others referred a factory reset will fix it.
My .02 cents

Good job Fiio!

Serious???? I was asking that for ages... Ok, I'll trust you and won't power on my X7 just to check that :evil:

[Edit] YES! They fixed it. Thanks for the note!

It worked for me - in Android mode using Tidal. Not tested in Pure Music Mode yet.
There is a slight delay in returning to the music once the button is pressed, but nevertheless it works. Good luck.

Whoa, my AM1 sounds sooo crystal clear now.... 

Good job, Fiio. No, excellent job, Fiio!!  

 

[Dobrescu George]

I want to ask something XD

Is it just me, or the ampless module is black, compared to the silvery am1 version of X7?

The issue faced by me has been faced by others also hence it is not something unique to me.  I am entitled to feel shortchanged and express my displeasure against the malfunction of a product I have spend my money on. I have no incentive to speak bad about Fiio nor do I have any incentive to defend something which is clearly an error on by FIIO. I have at least 6 FIIO products at home including 2 X7 and If I have the right to praise my X7 when I am enjoying it, I also have the right to be very upset when it does not work as expected. Fiio took quite some time to release this firmware with a promise that it would address most issues and not create new problems for users. Many including me had bought the X7 because of its exceptional sound and its modular design inspite of it having quite a few bugs, with the hope that these would be addressed in future firmware updates. When the much awaited firmware starts behaving erratically then one is bound to be upset. i am trying to factory rest but the error message is not allowing me to get to the reset screen. i will keep trying to get to the reset option but it is very frustrating.
