Never had mine... Try cleaning your phone for some adware.

So the consensus now is, is there a difference between b&o model and non b&o?

I had both and the B&O model was a Korean version and did not have a radio while the non B&O version was from Puerto Rico and did have a radio. I did not notice any difference in sound quality. So, as far as I am concerned the non B&O version is more desirable.

i think it's been discussed over and over, there is no difference. And if you use UAPP then for sure there would be no difference because the app directly accesses the quad dac.

Just keep these away from water. I dropped my B&O version one into a bathtub and there was no coming back from that.

Thanks n nice to know that

My V20 is B&O with radio. You can remove the battery immediately and let it dry - might be salvageable.

The battery can be replaced but the electronics inside might irreversibly decay.

So for low impedance earbuds is high impedance really improves the sound quality?

I did that of course, but it is gone...

I just get the V20 f800k version. I am using it with UAPP only, not using local music app. Just want feedback from you whether it is worth to upgrade android version from current Nouget to Oreo to improve battery efficiency. Is it going to impact to sound quality with UAPP? thank you.

I would not, my philosophy is that it it works, then don't fix it. If you need better batter performance, then I can recommend Perfine batteries from Aliexpress. They are excellent.

What is f200k?

Uapp works independent of the os, so sound should not be an issue. As for battery, there are many tricks to make it last longer: disable auto adjust of brightness, gestures, turn off WiFi and mobile data when not used, disable animation of UI, install as few apps as possible, uninstall/disable apps and notifications of apps you don't need, and so on.

The least disruptive option (IMO) is to spend $20 for a 10,000 mAH plug-in USB portable battery/charger. That eliminates the need to alter all your player/smartphone options that make the device more enjoyable, and then put them back, and then reset them all again, and later on reset them all again, again.
