Drag down once from the top and touch the small gear-shaped symbol symbol located toward the right side of the lower row.
When the settings menu pops up, scroll to the bottom and touch System > Reset Options > Erase All Data.

Thank you. Will see if a complete reinstall will help.

What I know from my own use:

- to use as wifi tether, I have to select tethering on my phone when selecting r5ii.
- to use as "dongle", after have done the above previously, forget R5II and reconnect but for media.

I may be wrong, but I think they're not simultaneously possible.

Charging issues?

A customer just reported the following:

I'm sorry to report there is a problem with the device and I will be returning it to you. I recharged it last night from 30% and at 40% it displayed a message "cannot charge anymore". I tried a few other cables still the same problem. Read the manual and tried a reset but now there is nothing, the unit will not turn on. Clearly HiBy have a problem. I will put it back in the post to you today. "

Did any of you encounter a similar issue?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks. A complete reset worked. Then just had to reinstall all apps.

What's your opinion? Do you think that the newly announced IBasso DX170 will offer superior sound to this unit?

Has anybody else tried to use the R5 Gen 2 as a DAC for DSD / SACD? I have used the Apple CCK (powered) and all I seem to get is 24 bit 88 khz not DSD. Just wondering if this is a one off issue. The iphone app is from HiBy. Everything seems to work as expected with my USB dongle.

I listen to a number of devices but will just drop this photo as I must have listened over 20hrs on this one charge of my own files with all wireless off

When its off it seems to use no battery at all, unlike many Android devices. This must be a record

Yep, over 45 days since I charged it!!!

Do we think that the newly announced IBasso DX170 may have better sound quality that the R5 Gen 2?

Thats all very subjective and only you can know by testing.

I find the R5GII great, even in Eco mode, but I'm also using a Khadas Tea DAC/AMP with iPhone 13 mini and for me that sounds better, being more musical/emotional.

Not to stay too far off topic, but have you had any issues with the Tea? I saw some griping over in that thread, and figure I'll wait for the Pro (maybe).

Apart from having some background noise with my SE846's, I've found it very good sound wise and great paired with Magsafe to iPhone 13 mini. Buttons can be a bit too easy to accidental press.

I only paid ~ £110 to import so great for the price.

Never tried fully ECO mode on a charge before... But yes this is true. Haha

Is anyone having problems with 5ghz wifi on their hiby?

I can connect but cannot play any music via qobuz/Spotify etc. (Qobuz shows network error, also web browsing doesn't work)
Sometimes it's working sometimes not (even if it's working it's not the most reliable thing in the world)
With 2,4ghz network it's working just fine.
Any suggestions?
@HiByMusic @Joe Bloggs

Ps i don't have mesh network at home. And yes restarting unit helps but after sometimes couple of minutes sometimes couple of seconds 5ghz network stops working again. It's very frustrating

Not streamed for ages as just listening to my own tracks, but yes, did have some wifi drop outs that turning wifi off then back on again reconnected. Will have to trst again.
