14 DAY TRIAL // FiiO has just made available a new firmware package developed for its X1 2nd generation portable player, namely version 1.3.3, which manages to resolve the issue where the device hangs when playing AAC files via Bluetooth.
In addition to that, the new firmware also resolves the system crash when skipping AAC songs in fast speed or playing some WMA files, as well as the improper display of 16-bit WMA tracks, and removes the bug that prevented the player from waking up from standby after playing WMA files.
Moreover, FiiO’s team makes sure the player won’t freeze when playing some tracks with the album cover dimensions larger than 1024x1024, and fixes the problem where some tracks with special characters in their names could not be found.
Last but not least, the present update also fixes an issue with the volume that didn’t take effect immediately after resuming the playback if changed while the music was paused, and implements other small UI fixes and functions.
When it comes to installation, first make sure your X1 unit is fully charged (the power cable must be removed while upgrading), save and unzip the downloadable archive, and transfer the x1.fw firmware file onto a TF card’s root directory.
Now, turn off your device, connect the memory card, hold the “Shortcuts” button while powering back on the music player, and wait patiently as the new firmware is being applied.
Therefore, if you intend to upgrade your device, download FiiO X1 2nd Generation Firmware 1.3.3, carefully apply it on the unit, and constantly check our website to be aware when a newer version is available for your product.
