Hi,
There is something really weird happening recently and I can not explain what it is.
The problem is both hardware and software.
Let's talk about software first.
And no, I am not going to talk about third party software.
I am going to talk about Eddict... the ultimate app to drive the EH-3...
So I launch Eddict on my smartphone. It is the latest version available from the Play Store.
At times, after playing music, I get a message from my smartphone telling that battery is almost dead.
If I open the "Battery" setting, it reports that the battery usage is held by Eddict at about 65% !!!
But sometimes, I can run Eddict for hours and it reports 5 or 6% battery drain.
No way to tell when what happens
Still on the software side, I launch Eddict.
I connect to the EH-3 using SyncLink.
I start playing an album and then I stop use the smartphone and leave Eddict in the background.
I then return to Eddict and find out it has lost connection to the EH-3 (even though I am not out of range of course).
That is not a real problem... I can reconnect to the EH-3.
But if I do so, Eddict get's totally unusable : play/pause : not working ; skip to next track : not working ; go back to previous track : not working... I can only display the album that is currently playing but that is it.
I rebooted the phone ; I uninstalled Eddict and installed it again ; I cleared data and cache... Nothing helps !
Now from the hardware, as mentioned before, the remote control stopped working.
It can be the remote control itself or the sensor inside the EH-3.
I must say that I fear that it is the sensor inside the EH-3.
Why ?
Because it also happens quite often now that when Eddict gets unresponsive, I want to control the EH-3 with the physical buttons.
It now happens quite often that those physical buttons are unusable : no "Play/pause" ; no "skip to next track ; no back to previous track... The only thing I can do is change source, but even that does not work all the time.
I of course already performed a factory reset.
So I am assuming my device is defective for some reason...
Of course it is still under warranty and may get serviced.
BUT : the problem is not obvious and a quick "tour" or "inspection" will show it is working as it should.
So not sure any service center will take care of it.
Not sure it makes sense posting in here as this thread seems to be dead
