I just followed the video and never ran any of the batchfiles.
I have a Windows 10 Home version that doesn't run in Test mode.
After the update it was automatically set to testmode.
This confused me a bit but a quick search on Google brought me the answer and a simple way to return to normal mode.
Right. But I suppose the script inside that zip is run automatically at some point. And it would be fine, if that script manages to do what it wants to do. But as far as I know, there are computers set on "secure boot" in BIOS, for which the script would fail and the user would have to do more stuff manually (say, take the computer out of secure boot) to put the computer in test mode.

There's an R6 owner in facebook who complains of a Surface computer locked in a blue screen after trying to update the R6. Perhaps that is what happens if you run the script on a "boot-locked" computer?? Edit: that shouldn't happen. Windows should just quip that the BCD value that the script wants to change is "protected by Secure Boot policy" and that should be that.

Tempted to get a 400 gig microsd card to replace my 200 for the r6. Anyone else using that big a card without issue?

Off topic a little but i have noticed my R6 clicks a few times esp when starting a music app. It sounds like it is coming from the sd area. Is this normal. I have never had any of my devices click before
That would be the relay to the amplifier section clicking in when music starts, it should have been doing this since day 1 you probably just didn't notice it before

There's two batch files supplied with the upgrade tool for doing this, one to enable test mode and one to disable test mode, it's tells you all this in the upgrade manual.

Thanks for the help. Easy fix!

I just updated to Android 8.1 on my hiby r6. I fully charged it before I went to sleep and left it on standby through the night. It only had 50% charge when I woke up in the morning. Also the power consumption is significantly more compared to Android 6. I can only get like 4 hours or so on a balanced output. Anyone else experience this after upgrading to Android 8.1?

Are 8.1 update supports Tidal MQA? Thanks
Still not. Tidal App is performing the first unfolding of MQA files, not the R6.

I noticed a few things after the update.

It seems the battery drains faster now.
You can switch the blue light on the on/off button on or off in the settings but before the upgrade the light only was on when the device was playing and for a short while before the device went to sleep.
I haven't found a sleepmode yet.
Settings\Display\Sleep (= 1 minute) does it for the display.


The battery drains like 50% overnight on standby. Also playback battery drain is also much faster. Were you able to figure anything out?
