My battery drains quickly, but I am quite the impatient clicker.  :veryevil:

Hi, maybe your Xduoo X3 brings the 1500mAh internal battery... The latest model is powered by a 2000 mAh.

Was unaware that there was a new model with upgraded battery.  This leads to another question, can the 1500mAh battery be replaced by the 2000mAh one or did they make the casing bigger to accomodate it?

I think the casing is the same for both models. You should have to remove the down cover and check the battery pack capacity.

hmmm, now i'm curious to know which battery type I have too. How did you guys get into the device to take a look? mine only has 2 small screws on the back, but they appear to be like small star/hex screws. I have an entire set of alen keys (there's about 30 sizes in total), and none of them fit these screws.

Use a T6x40 Torx driver. 
 
My battery pack isn't labeled.  Bought my X3 in late 2015 (ordered the end of November) so I assume it's just a 1500mAh.

That was nice of them to use such a common fastener (not).  They obviously didn't intend for end users to replace batteries.

Torx screws are quite common.  You'll find them in many applications ranging from automobiles to consumer electronics.

 

[fixedgear]

Did you "esc" on the front or "home" "back" ?

With the "esc" layout it's the 1500mAh battery.

:You're getting out of my neighborhood once you go beyond a flat head or phillips screwdriver lol.

"Torx (pronounced /tɔːrks/), developed in 1967^[1] by Camcar Textron,^[2] is the trademark for a type of screw head characterized by a 6-point star-shaped pattern. A popular generic name for the drive is star, as in star screwdriver or star bits. The official generic name, standardized by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 10664, is hexalobular internal.^[3] This is sometimes abbreviated in databases and catalogs as 6lobe (starting with numeral "6", not a capital "G"). Torx Plus is an improved head profile.
Torx screws are commonly found on automobiles, motorcycles, bicycle brake systems (disc brakes), hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics. Initially, they were sometimes used in applications requiring tamper resistance, since the drive systems and screwdrivers were not widely available; as drivers became more common, tamper-resistant variants, as described below, were developed.^[4] Torx screws are also becoming increasingly popular in construction industries."

Cheers. Managed to find a torx from an old kit I had when I needed to replace the audio jack on my phone.

Confirmed I have the 2000 battery.

Thanks man.  Learned something today,

With my 24/96 FLAC I too have a large delay. However, I found if I pause, then un-pause that it will begin to play right away.

I tried that and it works! That means the delay must be some weird software bug on rockbox...hopefully it'll get fixed in a future release.

Hi , guys , can somebody say , in stock or in rockbox i can listen music on artis->albums-> songs without to do folders on pc ? So , does it sort so ?

 

[GlennTidbury]

Rockbox does have a database which will let you sort by the tags and then listen by artist album etc....but better to do things by folder and file name.

There are free tools like mp3tag which will allow for batch renaming according to the existing tag. As long as your files are tagged correctly this makes it really easy to set up folders
