Someone posted which apps to turn off (or delete?) to increase battery life. I can't find this post again, can anybody point me to it?
Thanks

Wow, I'm amazed it doesn't sort any better than that! My DX100 does do multi-disc albums in the right order, but they just display as different albums in the sorting; however when selecting the first, it does play all of them one after another, and in the right order, with the tracks in the right order, not all the #1's together, etc.Here are some things I experienced that Sony should fix / improve with a software update:
- After syncing with the PC, a media player background process frequently hangs with 50% CPU use. It needs to be killed manually or the battery is dead after 4 or 5 hours. If your player gets warm, check for this process!
- The Sony player app does not respect disc numbers. If you have a multi-disc album, the tracks are in the wrong order.
- No way to select by genre plus album. On an iPod, for example, selecting "All" in the artists list after selecting a genre gives you a list of albums. The walkman software just gives you a useless playlist of all tracks for that genre.
- Can't exclude song artists from artists view and only show album artists.
- The folder browsing mode doesn't show cover art which is a pity because it is still the most useful browsing mode, considering the problems and limited features of the database-based browsing

Suddenly I felt guilty to have bought and sold it when peeps are still waiting for it....
A few 2nd hand posting in Hong Kong forums if anyone who can maneuver chinese forums is so inclined to contact these sellers (tho not sure how receptive are these locals are to selling to overseas buyers):

ZX1 > Hugo > TWau > Hidition NT6
Has anybody got the ZX1 to play notifications/alarms via the speacer when a headphone was plucked in? You ask why? Well I go to sleep with headphones so not to disturb my husband but want the player to be my alarm clock in the morning. This works fine with my phone (Note 2) but the ZX1 just gives the notifications/alarms via the headphones regardless of the selections in the apps I tried out.
Thanks

I found that but it does not work as I would like to use it: hearphones plucked in and the alarm via speaker phone. When plucked in the alrarm only is audible via the headphone.
Anybody else an idea?
