This lag has been improved considerably in FW3.0.10beta. Please let us know if you still have issues with the latest beta FW.
I've noticed that too. Also, the newer theme in 3.0.10beta seems to load album artwork slower than the default theme.
I have the same issues you describe, plus no continuous volume change when holding the buttons down, plus the track skip buttons operate as forward/rewind within the track. If those hardware buttons worked, I think the X7 FW would be complete for me, because in every other regard Neutron seems to work perfectly.
Thanks for the great feedback! Noted
Again, thanks for the feedback. I've always kept that pulsing light while charging, but I will try to reproduce your problem...

- Search function are not good, don't find anything.
- Some problems with some caracters, like 'ç', é, à, á.
- Some music are not scanned too.
- The clips and shuttering are almost gone, but have some.
- The battery is consumed very fast with my AM5 module.

I have the same problem. The blue light does not turn off when charging (at least the light does not turn off when the X7 is off and charging).

Confirmed that the pulsar light cannot be disabled while the X7 is off and being charged. I can understand this might be an annoyance to those charging their devices at night.
Here's a suggestion that might help:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/A6-EASECASE-Custom-Made-Genuine-Leather-case-for-Fiio-X7-/262745915071?hash=item3d2ce07ebf:g:Q7EAAOSwcdBWTXe~
These are custom-made cases (you even have the option of engravings on the leather). I chose tan/brown, with no cut-outs at the sides for the buttons and just the two openings at the bottom (since I don't own the am3):
These are very nicely made (similar quality to the Dignis cases), but have the advantage of the player sliding in from the top. With the Dignis and FiiO cases, the X7 slides in from the bottom, which leaves it able to slip down (or out?!) while you're holding it. The one disadvantage (or is it?!) with the Easecase, is that the pulsar light is completely obscured

A couple of people have mentioned about shortened battery life with the am5 amp. I only have am1 and am2, but I've also noticed that the player seems to need charging more regularly these days. That's a horribly unscientific observation (I randomly hop back and forth between pure music and Android mode and only use the amp about 50% of the time - the rest of the time the amp's attached but I'm only using the LO) and even if I'm correct, it may be more to do with general degradation of Li-ion batteries over time, rather than anything to do with the firmware.
Has anybody else noticed significant changes in battery life? If so, which amp module(s) are you using?

Hi...I have X7 running latest FW with AM2 amp. Listening music at 70% or less and I noticed that battery life is very poor also player is getting a bit hotter than before.

FW3.0.11_beta is now out! There's still no gapless playback support and scanning of large filesystems still seems to be problematic.
The improvements, relative to FW3.0.10_beta are as follows:
1. Fixed issue of short battery life with standby or playing;
2. Fixed issue where FiiO Music might not remember the last track list that's played before exiting, or might exit abnormally when resume playing the remembered list;
3. Fixed issue where some tracks with embedded CUE sheet cannot be played;
4. Fixed issue where some tracks could notbe found when scanning for media;
5. Fixed issue where the album art was displayed incorrectly when skipping tracks in Random mode;
6. Fixed issue where the pull-down notification center would collide with the widgets;
7. Improved the media search function;
8. Improved the DLNA function;
9. Reopened the Off Timer function in FiiO Music;
10. Change the default theme to the new Black theme.

This was item 1 on the list, so hopefully things have improved. Several people thought the issue was the am5 amp, but it seems the culprit was the indexing daemon. I'd be interested to have your feedback on the battery life with 3.0.11_beta.
Also, is anybody still having issues with the VU meter? It seems to work for me. Can I scratch this from the list?

I'd like to be able to play all my music!!!! In 3.0.10 I scanned 6277 and played 99%. I'd wipped my card and added more music, the 200gb card was out of the x7 loading 6596. I updated to 3.0.11 cleared cash and Fiio music file and the image file with the file manager. Sony MediaGo verifies 6596 and plays a random selection of tracks from the card in a usb adapter in a pc. But when scanned in the x7 it only sees 5348 they are ordinary FLAC files that will not play though they can be navigated to in the file structure. Search will not find them. But the play on anything on a pc including Windows media player.
