Hi Cao Wei.
I updated my element M as you posted above and checked the version. But the version is B21201. How can I fix problem?

[Aibek]

Could you make the version of the new firmware appear in the topic header?
For example:
Master index for element X / P / M / i firmware update and changelog (Continuously updated - B51501)

Good idea, Thank you!

Hi Cao Wei

I understand that there should be a new firmware out B61601 and an update to the MA Remote iOS for the Element series.. Do you have estimate when it will be available?

Best regards
Mike

Hello Cao Wei,

as I understood the actual Firmaware Version of  Matrix X / P / M / I is B61601. On my Matrix Element X I only find "the Current Version B51501" and the unit answer that it is the "up to date Version". It seems there is something wrong !?

More than 4 Month ago I got in touch with the Matrix Team in the Forum of "audiosciencereview". I have given some findings about the behavier of the SW (e.g. if you enter a folder to select a music file to play and if you go back to the list of folders in my NAS you get direktly to the Folder with the Name "A....." at the beginning. This is not very convinient specially if you have many folders and if you get back from a folder with the name "X". In my case I need to scroll down again more than 200 folders to get on the place where I was before I entered the last folder.
I think if you enter a folder and you get back, you should find your self at the same location as before you entered the folder. So that you can continue your surging for a song......)
I realy would apreciate if this problem is solved in the next update.
Greetings
Raimound

I have Element I / B51051, but I still receive a message: "Firmware is up to date"... What's wrong?

Hi Piotr, hi Raiound,
Are you using android phones?
Update your app, and then check for the firmware update.
