So it does work with something like Hiby, etc?
For me works with Neutron player and worked with Hiby however Hiby didn't do OTG - Shanling did OTG but not gapless, Neutron does both but would sooner only use what came with the M8.

Haven't used UAPP or Neutron since way back in the day when my source was an LG V20 lol. Maybe I should try them again.

Is Gapless working on M8 yet and if not will it ever?

Software team still says it's in works for Shanling app.

Of course you can use other apps for gapless playback.

If the red light is stuck on, two things to try:

Forced restart by holding down the power wheel 2x 15 seconds

Let battery run dry, until the light turn off, then put on charger and it will revive.

Tried forced restart without success either plugged in or without a charger

The red light is only on while charging not without being charged - how could I let the battery run dry?

Any other ways to restart the device?

Try booting into recovery mode:

How to enter Android Recovery menu?

If you will be facing some system breaking issues, it’s always possible fix them with help of Android Recovery menu.

1. Turn off player.

2. Hold down volume wheel and top left button at the same time, hold until Shanling logo appears. If performed successfully, image of green robot and “No command” text will appear.

3. Hold down volume wheel and while holding it down, turn it one step clockwise.

4. Now you entered Android Recovery menu. Use volume wheel up/down to go through menu and press volume wheel to confirm. Wipe data/Factory reset option can be found in the middle.

Have tried that without success 😞

Few days after replugged the device to a charger and even red light isn't coming up, does it mean the battery has been fully drained?

Any tips?

Only other option we could offer would be to send it to us for out-of-warranty repair.

Hi there
I'm an happy owner of a M8 since one week and it's a really fantastic dap! very addictive...
Someone knows if there's an option to revert screen up/down? I don't find it though it's very useful to have phone out at the bottom in some cases (in the sofa for exemple :relaxed: ).
Cheers
