RoseConnect Premium V5.09 does not work properly on Apple iOS

Support
#1

Starting situation

iPhone 17

iOS version 26.1

Rose App on iPhone: Vers.: 5.09.44

IP-adress (Wifi) of the iPhone: 192.168.2.22

Rose OS 5.9.09, Rose Ware/-Service: 5.9.07.1

IP-adress of the Rose 130 device: 192.168.2.46

Note: I also have an Android-based remote control.

Bug description

often when starting up, the RoseConnect Premium app on my iPhone does not recognize the RS130 device. When I finally manage to connect to the iPhone (for example, by turning Wi-Fi on and off), the Rose app on the iPhone loses contact with the RS130. When the app loses contact with the RS130, it displays the message: “Rose – Connection error.” The Registering ROSE mode also cannot find the RS130. Manually entering the IP address of the RS 130: 192.168.2.46 usually does not help either. By the way, this error does not occur with the Android-based remote control.

The situation is very unsatisfactory—could you help me or give me some advice on the configuration?

#2

I upgraded to Rose 5.9.16 (iMac)
iOS 26.2 to fix airplay issues.

On the iPhone I’m running 5.09.44 iOS 26.2

This seems to work.

I did have some issues where once I manually turned on RS520, it would be seen.

@Klaus

Please help us by checking a few things:

  1. Is the connection between the RS130 and another iOS device (different from your iPhone 17) also unstable?
  2. Does the same issue occur even after deleting and reinstalling the RoseConnect app on your iPhone 17?
  3. What happens when you connect using Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi?
#4

@ Rosehan
Re 1: I have the same problem with an iPhone 15 (note: But it has the same software version, iOS 26.1).
Re 2: Re 2: Unfortunately, yes.
Re 3: My RS130 is connected to Ethernet by default

#5

@Klaus

Then, please help us by answering a few additional questions:

  1. Does the same issue occur when you connect your RS130 via Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet?
  2. Does the same issue still occur after resetting your router?
  3. If you have another router available at home, please let us know the result after testing with that router.

From the start, my RS150B remote required Bluetooth login every time I even soft-powered it. So I put it back in the box. This remote is a disaster. Another drawback of the Rose is the lack of full buffering of large FALC 1 to 5Mbps files and audio keying during playback. The problem doesn’t occur at lower bitrates. So I replaced the Rose with a DMP-A10. I have all the conveniences: the remote always works, Tidal and Spotify Connect work, and the sound quality knocks out the RS150B. :grin:The choice is simple.

I don’t know if you should blame the remote or the wi-fi/bt dongle.
Its BT 4.2 which should be ‘ok’ however… there’s always a lag and then when you try to use the volume control… all bets are off. Its easier to use the Rose Connect app.

If you listen to Old Guy Hi-fi (Ed.) he would tell you to get a Shanling. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
(He’s the first YT that didn’t go ga ga over Eversolo. )

#8

Of course, I used the Rose HiFi app on my tablet. Now I also use the EverSolo Control app. But I use the remote control because it’s the most convenient, rewinding or skipping tracks. That’s why I stopped loving the Rose. Besides that, the DMP-A10 is much better than the Shanling EM7.

#9

Ed aka Old Guy Hifi has a different opinion.

I’ll have to find a link to the video review.

Check out the SM1.3 too

#10

“Check out the SM1.3 too”

I checked. But it’s Wiim or A6 level. Not in this league. :joy:
If we’re going to compare, we have to go beyond China. Because the best one here, without any significant competition, is currently – the DMP-A10 champion. :+1: :100:

#11

The newer Hifi Rose devices are all using IR remotes and also with the older ones, you can use something like FLIRC (works with nearly all Android devices) and so IR (programmed this with two Logitech Harmonies)
I’m also a big fan from physical remote devices and as Roon user, you’ve a lot of options like the http-api (works perfect with my Philips Pronto Pro as webservice) or (my current favorite for the RS451) the Space Mouse Wireless.
With the Eversolo (I’ve also two devices from them) it’s the same like with Hifi Rose: Starting with Bluetooth remotes (and you’h to buy it for the DMP-A6) and later they switched to IR.

#12

“Bluetooth remote controls (and you have to buy them for the DMP-A6), and then they switched to IR.”
In the DMP-A10, the remote detects itself and if it’s within Bluetooth range, it works there, and if it’s out of range, it automatically switches to IR.
EverSolo has created a system for all options. :heart_eyes:

#13

Maybe one day you will learn how Bluetooth works. But it won’t be this century…

Why would any sane person listen to youtube whores?

Funny how there were Bluetooth peripherals, predating even BT 4, which worked perfectly fine while moving more, and more sensitive, data 20 years ago.

Maybe Mikey’s living in the wrong country! If he lived with the San people (in Africa), he’d definitely have more experience with Bluetooth. :laughing:

You don’t understood my posting.
Beginning with the RS130 Hifi Rose starts using IR remote controls.
That’s nearly the same time frame where Eversolo switched also.
With a current RS151 or RS451 you’ve only IR as default and so here no advantage in using an Eversolo device.
It’s fine that you’re happy with your DMP-A10, but I like my Hifi Rose devices more, because they have a real standby, a much better display Rosetube,…
And last not least: This is the Hifi Rose forum!

#16

This is a Rose forum, but that doesn’t mean we can’t write about other dwarves. :speak_no_evil:

I bought my RS150B four years ago, right after my world medal. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
And I was increasingly dissatisfied with it. So I looked for a better device and came across the DMP-A10. Now the RS150B is in my second setup and rarely gets used because it’s no match for the DMP-A10. And I’m writing about it to show that Rose has fallen behind in hardware and very far behind in terms of Rose HiFi applications. That’s what a forum is for – it’s about exchanging experiences and information.
There’s no censorship here. :cowboy_hat_face:

That’s a possibility… Because in no civilized one does BT work the way Mike thinks it does…

I am pretty sure my 520 came with an IR dongle you could plug in the back. The problem isn’t in the remote technology though – volume controls get stuck even if you are using buttons on the device itself. The problem is that it takes a very particular level of incompetence to implement volume control with buttons instead of a rotating knob and not have a working debouncer on it. Debouncing inputs has been a solved problem for ages. Some 20+ years ago I already had a Bluetooth keyboard / mouse combo that worked well enough (even though, sorry Mikey Der Schwul, it predated BT 4.x) with no sticking keys and no latency problems (well, probably would not have been acceptable for Duke Nukem, or whatever Mikey is still playing, but good enough for work).

Some of us want to use these to actually listen to music, you know…

Since most of us here had the (mis)fortune of getting Rose devices, maybe we want Rose to fix them and make them… well, the existing RS series will never be competitive in sound quality in real rooms with real speakers, with, say, EverSolo, or even Wiim gear, but at least make them comparable in usability?!

“But I prefer my Hifi Rose devices because they have a true standby mode, a much better display, clips from Rosetube…”

The DMP-A10 has an even better standby mode because, even when woken from a complete shutdown, it returns to the currently playing track and its queue. The display is smaller, but with higher resolution and is also shielded from the rest of the components. Video clips play on every other Spotify track and are similar in size to the RS150B (despite the larger display). Most importantly, the RS150B can’t handle high bitrate playback – it skips and constantly absorbs data with delay. And that disqualifies it. This isn’t an advertisement, it’s the truth.

#19

That must be some problem elsewhere (unless your 150 has a broken network) – my Roses play DSD512 or PCM 768 just fine.

Hi Rosehan,
With the update from iOS 26.1 to iOS 26.2, the problem seems to have been solved for now. Thanks Smegel for your note!
