Hi, with this update I have lost the parametric EQ setting for left and right channels individually

Seems to be the case with Pro Plus too

Hi @Luckey
The same horrible thing has happened to me too.
Let's hope they fix it quickly. I had made a RC for the left and right channels that worked like a charm. Much better than the Stereo EQ.
Luckily in my iPad the possibility to choose Stereo or L+R is still present. I will be careful not to update the App for IOS

My Android app was fine before the Firmware update so it looks like a glitch on Android. I'll check my iPad to see if that still has it.

Update. My iPad is OK (app version 2.11.1) but it's missing from my Android (app version 2.11.5). Well worth raising a ticket if you use it.

Hi @ABAstroUK
I have opened a ticket just a few minutes ago. I hope they will fix this issue on the fly. To listen to music i use my android tablet instead of Ipad, because i use Bubble UPnP and this App unfortunately is only for Android.
On IOS I have MConnect, but is far from Bubble.

Another problem encountered after update, if I start play music directly from the app (spotify, tidal) and after starting the wiim app it no longer shows me what it is playing but is empty

What version of the app and what o/s? It’s ok on iOS app version 2.11.5 and v2.11.4 on Android when casting from Spotify

 

[Luckey]

Android, 2.11.5.24...; But I noticed that I have the problem when from the apps (spotify tidal) I choose my Denon as a listening device, which uses Heos, instead of wiim

Get used to it.
WiiM has given it, WiiM has taken it, the name of WiiM is praised.
(free adaption from Book Hiob: 1,20-22)

Likely they will solve the issue producing another one for others

Where did you get 2.11.5.24... on Android? Mine is 2.11.4.24...

I see no impact on L/R eq after update, or am I missing something?

Well this is daft. The latest app is available from apkpure but not from the Google Play Store for me.

Which is your version of the App? The glitch is on 2.11.5.240906 on Android.
I updated the App, unfortunately, this morning from Play Store

Hi Team,

We have identified a bug in our Android app update released on September 6th that unintentionally removed the independent PEQ (Parametric Equalizer) feature. We sincerely apologize for this oversight.
Please rest assured that we are actively working to resolve the issue and will be reviewing our release process to prevent similar mistakes in the future.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we address this matter.

Hi
Something came to mind. The Apps for IOS and Android are interconnected. If I change the curve, or a value of the curve on the IOS App, the same change is reflected on the Android App.
Well, in this particular moment where IOS has the PEQ per channel and Android does not, if I select L + R in IOS, what happens? If I check on Android I see that only one of the two channels is selected. Of course, the PEQ per channel has disappeared, but in practice what am I listening to?
The EQ L + R selected on IOS or a single channel in stereo as seen in Android or nothing at all?
Maybe it is better to completely disable the EQ until the defect is resolved?

I think it’s just a presentation glitch in Android and that your device will behave properly if you have made the changes in the iOS app.
