In the settings menu there are different lock screen's available that will lock out different play functions. Try them out to see which works for you.

Thanks....lockscreen 1 did the trick...Cheers

No it works fine, I haven't even noticed any significant dropoff in battery life.
 
I expect a spinning hard drive would be impossible though.

Really that one works? Without significant battery affection. hmmm nice!
Wonder if this one works...

Hi all!  I'm a happy new X5 owner and I was wondering if you guys had any tips and tricks for me.  Should I be updating my firmware to the latest version or is there a "better" earlier one?  Things like that.
 
Thanks!

Check the modded thread. Some fantastic designs there based on current firmware.

Suggest you email the manufacturer and ask them who makes the controller chip - if it's on the Fiio list then you may be in luck. Be prepared that it might not though...

I have found that the custom FW really improve the "usability" of my X5's. I am especially grateful for the Analogue and McFiiotosh FW's they are the bee's knee's!

Are there any ones that a lot of folks agree are top notch?  There are a lot to go through and some don't even have pics.

Thanks, I'll look into those.

modern simplicity is a great place to start. 
 
check only the first page, it sums all up very very nice, and it is way easier to download and test, and most have photos with the post. also, hawaiibadboy made some very very nice videos with custom uis and those can be of help!

Stillhart: I really like AsianInvasion's themes! I've been switching between his Harmony II and Solar themes, a mod I did on his Fragments theme I call Dark Fragments, and a mod marcin z did on his Solar theme called Solar Eclipse. I think I'm going to mod Solar Eclipse a bit myself when I get some time.

Hey all, 
 
I've just got an X5, and so far I've been really enjoying the sound. The UI is tolerable and I think the actual device is beautiful.
However, I encountered a problem yesterday. I tried to load some newly downloaded MP3 files onto the player, and they wrote to the TF card fine, and still show up. However, they don't add to the library when I perform a media scan. When I found them in the folder browser and tried to play them, I got an error message that said "File not Supported." I tried adding a FLAC album ripped from CD today, and got the same bug with that.
 
I've tried re-'installing' the tracks, factory resetting the player and taking the cards out and rebooting the player, re-scanning every time, and nothing worked. Does anyone know what bug this is, and how to fix it please? All my other FLAC and MP3 files work fine, except those added in the last two days. 
 
Thanks in advance.

Where did you get the files from?  Are they perhaps in a format that is corrupt or not supported?  Any way you can upload a couple (dropbox maybe) so someone can check them out?  My bet is that there is something wrong with the files ......

2 came from Zippyshare (I was given the links from the artist's Facebook page, I'm not a pirate, honest), the other two mp3s came from download links in that artist's Youtube descriptions. The FLAC files were ripped from a CD today, in EAC and transferred from foobar2000.
 
https://www.facebook.com/tobuofficial?fref=ts <This is the artist who gave the MP3s away, if anyone else wants to test the files it would probably be helpful
 
Thanks for the help so far, I'm currently running H2testw to see if the SD card is legit, I think it is as there's 9GB written to it now and there were only 7GB on music on there.
 
EDIT: For reference, the 4 tracks that I downloaded were the top 4 on his list, from "My Own Paradise" down to "Sweet Story."

Do the files play from Foobar by chance? If the files play with other players the file conversion as Brooko suggested might have errors. Try converting a flac into say ALAC and see what happens.

Well, the original copies on my PC play fine in Foobar,but when I backed up to check the SD card, the copies of these files (specifically) that were put back in the Pc from the SD card were "corrupted," but nothing else on the card was.
It just seems that any file created in the last 3 days corrupts as soon as it reaches the player or something.
I'll try converting to ALAC, see what happens

What kind of card and where did you get it?
