Was that on Android? I don’t seem to have that option on the iOS or mac versions.

On android 14 i got a message saying that a maximum of 5 rose connect can be registered , please unregistere at least 1 device.

Rose connect ea last version
I uninstall then reinstall rc ea but message still appears

Factory reset also done on my rs-250a

@ROSEHAN
Thank you for this new EA 5.8 version.
The iOS and Android updates also went well; unfortunately, the PC version isn’t updating.
Could you post the link to download the EA version for PC?
Thanks in advance.

With the RS151, there’s no connection to the rose store possible, thus no update and also no way back to the official version.
Any idea?

Edit… After full Reset, updates are working

Still no resolution of PCM Delay Time, which has not been working since the start of marketing of the RS130 (soon 2 years!!!) I’m losing patience…

Same issue here. No update for Windows PC.

Thank you, problem solved

I don’t see that the issue described in the thread “Skips while playing by its own” will be fixed by the current update.
