Pono Player Firmware Update

[beetlemania]

With the 200 GB SD (yes, no problems going past Pono's claimed limit) it certainly takes longer to boot, so I imagine that eats some battery right there. I have no idea how much extra power is needed thereafter.

 

Here's where I asked the same question:

Question for anyone who may care to reply...can the volume be "locked" so if the player is stuck in a pocket the volume cannot not be changed inadvertently?  Thanks, WW

Just to inform the other interested readers here as well:

SLIMPANTS answer to your same question in the PonoMusic Forum:
 

"Go into "Settings" --> "Sleep & Lock" and choose "10 Seconds". 
Start up a tune/album, adjust to desired volume, then wait ten seconds before putting ponoplayer in pocket."

Be careful when pocketing it though. I cracked my screen and had to have it replaced. I think the damage happened in a backpack not a pocket, but regardless it happened far too easily.

@new_media This worked for me - thanks! Does anyone know if this is the last firmware update we should expect?

Sad to say they are officially out of business as of December 2017, so yes that is quite likely the last update.

A hearty "thank you"! I just updated the firmware on my Pono from 1.0.1 to 1.0.6 successfully. It seemed so friendly here that I signed up.

Does anyone have a copy of the firmware update file? The download link doesn't seem to work. I've a brand new player that's been in the box since I bought it.

I just clicked on the download link and it worked fine.
