Hybrid streaming

How to optimize sound quality and save battery life

• High impedance headphones improve reception and isolate external noise.
• Equalizer: If the app allows it, boosts bass and midrange to compensate for AM interference.
• Brightness level: Lower the screen to the minimum acceptable and use dark mode if available.
• Turn off data (in internal FM apps) when not using streaming to save data and battery.
• Airplane mode + Wi-Fi in hybrid streaming: keep only the necessary data connection.
• Close background processes after saving stations to free up memory and extend battery life.

Good practices for continuous use

• Update the app regularly to receive tuning improvements and bug fixes.
• Check antenna: In native FM, move the headphone cable slightly until the signal is better received.
• Reschedule scans from time to time: the band changes with the time and location.
• Clean the dongle and the OTG connector with compressed air to avoid false contacts.
• Try different locations: Sometimes a simple orientation towards a window significantly improves reception.
