hmm you the vendor of that shop?
 
I am all up for recommendations but a junior turning up to a post with coupons and sales?

 

[Hardcor]

Haha, yeah I see how it could look sketchy. I've been reading posts on here for a while,  saw the sale, thought I'd join up and share the info with  people already interested in the player. Trust me, I wish I got a kickback, I'm broke as a joke. If you end up getting it let me know your opinion, who knows it might go on sale again.

So how's the player so far ? any sudden death issue , buggy ui or file reading problem ? 
I know they haven't been much problem lately, I assume . Just conforming might be getting 1 soon

Had mine for about a year and no power issues at all. The UI can be a little clunky but the sound it kicks out is great.

I did a little tweak I'd like to share with you guys.
 
I wanted to see if I could fix the lousy button sensitivity, so I opened up my X2 and took the PCB out and noticed that the buttons are actually milled aluminium themselves, which come to a very small pressure point to activate the micro switch on the front of the PCB. So what I did was put some hot glue over the top of these pressure point on all of the buttons and made sure to squash the glue down with my finger so it doesn't protrude too much so to cease the buttons when putting the X2 back together. What I basically have done is made a cushion over the pressure point which also made the contact area much larger. This has made the button sensitivity pretty much on point. The only thing is that long pressing the button will still sometime make the unit think you pressing the button repeatedly like it does before the mod, all you have to do is just put a bit more pressure on it to recognise that you're holding the button down.
 
Hope that help with some of your frustration. It did for me. 

 
Next thing is to try and figure out how to get that mirror tint off of the glass without ruining the glass entirely.

Polorizing filters are used in photography to reduce reflections. If you could find a self adhesive film that could work. Someone must have produced a anti glare streen protector all do some googling.

Do you think that would work to cancel out the reflection?

 

[rjbell]

Maybe. I have a filter when I get the player I'll test it out. You must be able to buy it in a adhisive film because they use it to coat cheaper plastic lens sunglasses.

Just found this place in the UK that sells 2 5x5cm sheets for £6. What size is the screen? https://www.greenweld.co.uk/acatalog/Polarising_Film.html

Hmmm.. I'll wait to see what results you get. Cheers!

I just ebay searched polarizing film and loads come up pre cut for smart phones.

I just gave my X2 away 3 days ago so I can't try( bad timing at its best).  is the screen LCD based? if so it usually contains polarized layers already and adding one would mess up with the screen in all but one direction(when both layers are perfectly aligned).
also if the stupid reflecting layer is metal based(I really shoot in the dark here, thinking worst case scenario), then polarizing the light might not do anything for the "sun in my face" effect.
 
wait to buy something IMO, there will probably be someone with one for photography, or even a pair of polarized sunglasses to try it out.

The LCD screen in underneath a piece of glass that protects it. This piece of glass has a mirror coating on the back side.

If its a film you could try soaking it off, or steam it off like car window tint.
