XMP3 very laggy at times

[ericshmerick]

My XMP3, running the latest FW, is very laggy at times. For example, I spin the wheel or use the remote the change channels and it appears to freeze. After about 5 seconds, it "catches up" and rapidly changes channels to keep up. Annoying.

Also, if I am listening from the buffer and I go to live, the unit normally beeps once. Sometimes, the beep sounds for like 7 seconds. Highly annoying.

Is there a fix? Reinstalling the firmware doesn't seem possible (just tells me I have the most current version).

Help. I have this thing signed up for lifetime and it drives me nuts. Wish I would have gotten an Inno.

I haven't updated since I got the radio back in Jan. is there a newer softwear update? :scratch:

Mine doesn't do that. try clearing your memory & see what happends.

Question: Is it recording when you experience the lag?

Observation: I've experienced the lag in which you reference. It seems to occur when I'm recording a few channels at a time. I'm sure the CPU usage has something to do with the lag time.

Nah, I only really use it in the car, so no recording.

Is there a way to factory reset it? (i.e. hard reboot that clears everything)?

Also, what's up with the startup time? My ignition cuts the power when I turn my key off. The XMP3 shuts down as expected. When I start my car back up, it sometimes takes over a minute for the XMP3 to fully boot. Very annoying. About 5% of the time, the startup is instant. Nothing different between slow/fast startups...

In the car settings you can change the auto shut off so it will run off the battery for a while

Yeah, the startup time is a bitch. I noticed when it was version 1.07 it was quicker than 1.17.

I think I fixed it. I reformatted everything, erased all content and disabled automatic recording. It's fast so far.

I've noticed the same thing with the XMP3s. Compared to the S2, they start up slow as hell.
