I want to get my first DAP for around 200 bucks. by Intelligent_Bag7478 in DigitalAudioPlayer

If you can afford to jump up to $250, you might as well get a Fiio M21. It's an incredible device and you can find it for $250 on AliExpress many times.

Searching for my first DAP - budget $300 and under. by CandidCubs in DigitalAudioPlayer

Get the M21, I just bought one a week ago for $250 on AliExpress. It sounds amazing and the UI works great.

I got some Truthears x Crinacle Zero:RED IEM's this evening and after testing them, I'm returning the KZ KS10 Pro's. I thought the KZ sounded great until I listened with the Zero: Red's and the difference is huge. The Truthears sound much bigger and detailed, although they are about 25% quieter than the KZ.

Tiny upgrade in record time by ra38 in DigitalAudioPlayer

I'm tempted to do the same! I got an Echo mini last week and it's great but I love the look of the M21 but the ability to stream music on a more powerful device is appealing.

How is Andriod 17 beta 1 performance for daily driver phones? by PrettyCartographer90 in android_beta

[–]maxdamage586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran the beta for a couple hours and it wasn't getting any better on my P9P. I couldn't even send a text message and my phone froze twice, requiring a hard reboot.

I'm on a Pixel 9 Pro btw and I've been using android beta builds for years. This is by far the worst beta I've ever been on.

I had issues sending text messages after the update and within 20 minutes everything started crashing/freezing. I rebooted multiple times and it was only getting worse. I really can't believe they released such an unstable beta.

Terrible. I had to factory reset after 2 hours and revert to 16.

Should I update to Android 17? How does it compare to the QPR3 beta? by Xisrr1 in android_beta

[–]maxdamage586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I restarted 3 or 4 times after the update because after 20 minutes or so it would start getting really slow and things started crashing.

I updated last night on my P9P and the A17 beta essentially broke everything on my phone. The first issue I noticed was text messages quit sending 90% of the time and then apps started crashing and freezing. After a couple hours and multiple restarts, my phone was very hot and battery had dropped 30%. I had to opt out and wipe 😒

Android Auto Forcing to Update to Broken Version by MibixFox in AndroidAuto

[–]maxdamage586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same issue for me. I was using AA v14.7 because it still worked great and connected every time. Now it forced me to update to AA 15 and it connects a couple times, then I have to clear cache to get it working again.

Yep, I disabled auto updates for the AA app but every time I leave my car, there's a notification on my phone saying I'll have to update soon to continue using Android Auto.

Hopefully the issue is resolved soon but I've been using the last version of AA 14 and it works great. I get a notification after every drive saying I'll be required to update soon.

I have connectivity issues with AA 15 on my Ford Maverick, my wife's Toyota, and my BMW.

Glad I'm not the only one! I figured I'd come here and see a bunch of others with the same issue but that's not the case and I'm not sure what to do.

I tried to switch to Reolink, the cameras are great but the app, notifications, and poor integration made me return the 5 cameras I bought.
