Truly atrocious cell phone pic to show I just received the X7 despite DHL dumping it in my front porch while I was out instead of in the back as requested. At least they didn't steal a kidney like they do in Canada :rolleyes:

EDIT: This isn't with latest FW. Will update and check back in.

So about 25 seconds for boot up? Interesting. If it doesn't use up much power in standby mode, then I'd possibly lean towards leaving it on all of the time.

 

[nmatheis]

Yup. 8sec to Welcome screen. 25sec to lock screen.

EDIT: This isn't with latest FW. Will update and check back in.

Joe Bloggs: Will Music App HELP be translated to English soon? I haven't loaded the latest FW yet, so maybe in the latest?

Joe Bloggs: So how do we get Google Play on here?

just for the heck of it....  can it stream Amazon music ??

 

[Hisoundfi]

Android newbie here. Can't figure out to install apps. Get an error because X7 doesn't have Google Play installed. HELP!!!

 

[djvkool]

I've been trying to install too, so far to no avail.
 
music app only in chinese for the 'tips and tricks' bit, the rest are in English
 
what we want is probably Tidal, or Deezer, as they both offer FLAC streaming, I have both and although in Australia, Deezer FLAC streaming is only through Sonos (for time being), Tidal does full FLAC streaming here, so ideally, I would like to get Tidal installed

If it hasn't been properly tested by the time it makes it to me, I'll make sure to test!

Same issues here djvkool. We need an X7 group. Joe Bloggs?

I think I might have an even older FW, my FiiO music app is only in chinese

 

[djvkool]

OK I managed to install Spotify on it, using the direct .apk link that Joe mentioned above
 
So the issue here is perhaps not the 'security' side of Android (install from unknown resources etc), but could be that apps must be within the 'whitelisted' list within the fw
 
Will try and get Tidal's .apk file.
 
I'm hoping that the final version (at least for the batch for the western market) will have Play Store pre-installed, I know Xiaomi is starting to do that for it's phone and tablet, they are preinstalling PLay Store for the export batch.
 

 
 
[EDIT] Another thing - last night I was listening and A/B-ing with X5 (with Dunu DN-2000J and Fidue A73), when I finished, I noticed the battery was at 85% (from full charge, and about 1hr listening, which is fair enough) - I went to work this morning, took the unit, and I was getting ready to do some more listening, but the battery was at 35%? Looked little strange to me, will do some more battery testing in the coming days
