HiBy R6 2020 User Impressions

[arionomus]

I had a similar situation. What I needed to do was a full reset in Android recovery mode.

These were steps given to me by MusicTeck. They worked and the device is still running normally now.

While the device is powered on:
1. Press Power button and select Restart
2. When Restart starts, Press and hold the Skip Prev button (above Play button)

You will enter the screensaver for recovery mode, which looks like an Android lying on its back with its chest open, with the words "No command" underneath.

To enter Android Recovery mode:
1. Press and hold the power button
2. While holding the power button, press the Skip Prev button once again.

In there, use Volume wheel to navigate and power button to select. Run the following:
1. Wipe data/factory reset

Thanks for the detailed instructions, I tried resetting a few times but only the full wipe resolved all my issues. Cheers from a fellow Brooklynite.

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in pulling the trigger on this DAP, but saw that the manual recommends using it 20cm away from the body to avoid high static and interference, which makes no sense for a portable device.

Has anyone had any issues regarding this?

EDIT: My bad, I misread. It's a warning to reduce human body radio frequency exposure. I've heard people complaining about static and interference on this device anyway. Is this something recurrent?

Where in the documentation do you see this?

Mine is pretty sensitive to my iPhone. I typically make sure it’s a few feet away. Clearly the R6 isn’t as shielded as some audio devices, but I’ve never heard of it receiving interference from a person’s body.

I've had zero issues

 

[loungecat]

i think the original model may have had this issue R6 pro.

I have this model and have no problems at all

 

[YanaMJ]

Same for me. No problem at all. Even with my phone near it

Please see the instructions quoted below, these worked for me and I hope they do for you. Good luck.

Just curious I find the leather case fairly bulky and hard to adjust the volume wheel, is the TPU case any better? Thanks in advance with any feedback please.

No, the TPU is so much worse that once you try it you’ll wonder why you were complaining about the leather one in the first place. It’s significantly bulkier and obstructs the volume wheel even more.

I really wish HiBy made a better case for it.

Damn I can't find any cases other than the leather one or TPU too bad I had a half case on my Sony NW-A105 and loved it.

I use the TPU one and I'm happy with it...since it's not pricy maybe you should try it
