An app like that is necessary to get the most out of a V30 anyway. I've been using Tidal direct from the V30 to headphones or from the headphone jack into my car. I use Neutron for music stored on the phone itself. I'll give UAPP a try, thanks for the recommendation. If I can't connect to Tidal direct over cellular I'm not sure how UAPP will help that connection, but it's worth a shot. And if it helps improve SQ over Neutron for local storage that would be a big win. Thanks Audio System Link to comment
left channel Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 @Johnseye it's worth trying UAPP just to determine if the problem is the Tidal app, or if it's another problem (which I'm just guessing could be the phone/account data settings, your carrier's service or policies, the Tidal network, or other frustrating issues). And yes, some say the SQ of UAPP is an improvement over Neutron, or they have other reasons for preferring UAPP. It's a very powerful, versatile app, though the "U" for "USB" ought to change now that it works with both external and internal DACs. Everyone wants to date my avatar. Link to comment

If it were a DNS issue then it would effect other services like web browsing and Google Music. It is specific to Tidal. The carrier is Verizon so this would be widespread if it was due to them. My guess is that it's related to the latest Android update for the LG V30 and some Tidal app code. Again if it were just Android it would impact Google Music or other services.

jaaptina Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Another thing you could try is installing Bubbleupnp on your phone. In the Bubbleupnp app you can log in to Tidal. With Bubbleupnp you can then use Tidal without using the Tidal app. Cebolla 1 Link to comment

You used to be able to click on a thumbnail cover art and it would blow up. That is gone. Now you get album information. Click on the thumbnail that is included in the album information and you get nothing. The only way to get a large album cover is to click on the album while it is in the lower play queue, while it is playing!

Our programming team confirmed with me that this is a known issue that is affecting a number of users which has placed it at the top of their list to fix. While I don’t have a timeline as to when a fix will go through, please know that our team is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. We realize that this is an inconvenience for you, so we thank you for your patience. Best Regards, Kevin - Supervisor & Technical Support Specialist TIDAL Member Support The cover art issue that I submitted a ticket to Tidal in May/June has been fixed with the latest Tidal desktop app update. When you click on a thumbnail you get album info. Click on the thumbnail contained in the album info and you get the expanded cover. You no longer have to play the album to get the expanded cover. It requires one more click than the old version but at least you no longer have to play the album just to view the cover art. left channel and Polyglot 1 1 "The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought", Sir Thomas Beecham.

Wireless is not a problem. I hard wiped my phone, installed only Tidal, same issue. I've had minor connectivity issues before, but nothing as bad as this. I have the same issue here. I am using the LG G5, but for the last couple of days the streaming over cellular network does not work anymore. Using T-Mobile/telering in Austria. UAPP doesn't work neither. Would like to change the DNS, but for the mobile data connection it's not that easy. I could only test it outside the country or with a SIM from another provider. Since I was not happy with the faulty apps from Quobuz, I gave Tidal another chance. But with this issue, I am disappointed from Tidal as well. I am really looking for a HIFI straming offer, but unfortunately both well known services are not satisfying. Link to comment
intensemojo Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 so weird. never had a problem on my iphone and I ride a motorcycle in rural places without issue. I say that because maybe its a hardware problem. Have you tried a different phone? Link to comment
Polyglot Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 A new issue with Tidal is that they have severely limited search results. If you search for Mozart for example and click on 'albums', you only get a handful of results out of possibly hundreds or thousands. On Spotify you are still able to scroll down and see as many as you wish. Link to comment

I have found that the most realistic way to use Tidal's search function is to know the name, or approximate name, of the album and the album artist you are searching for. For example, searching for "Mozart Piano Concertos" yields only a fraction of what is available. Searching "Mozart Piano Concertos Brendel" opens up his contribution to the Tidal database. Just typing "Mozart Piano Concertos" yields zero Brendel albums. This makes random exploration of their database using a single concept (i.e., Mozart piano concertos) impossible. It's a terrible search function which seems to get worse with each iteration. "The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought", Sir Thomas Beecham. Link to comment

It's a terrible search function which seems to get worse with each iteration. Discovery is only aspect of streaming that is more enjoyable than CDs. I like to enter terms like 'Haydn Sonata' or 'Dvorak Chamber' and discover unsuspected recordings. When Tidal limits the number of search results, it destroys this ability. What I'm presently doing is searching on Spotify and when I find something interesting, looking for the specific album on Tidal to listen to it. Up until recently Tidal's search worked correctly. Having them remove features at will makes me fear that at any moment they'll cripple the service and prevent me from enjoying music the way I do. Makes me wish to return to CDs altogether and not take the risk. Link to comment

rodrigaj Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Who can explain this. Same album - Tidal vs Spotify: Tidal Spotify Notice the next to useless track information in Tidal. Notice Spotify provides the necessary crucial track information. I thought at first that it was a label issue, but Spotify shows that the label is providing the necessary track information. More and more classical genre albums are appearing like this in Tidal. Can anyone explain what is going on? I have submitted at least half-a-dozen tickets to Tidal over a six month period and not one album has changed. I get the usual "We are sorry..., we have submitted this to our technicians..." , blah, blah, blah reply.

rodrigaj Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 After thinking about this, I have just cancelled my subscription. I've had it. Five years (pre-Jay Z) as a paying HiFi subscriber, I have watched the slow deterioration of what was once a promising service. Enough.

left channel Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Good for you @rodrigaj. There's really no excuse; the owners of Tidal just don't care about it. I subscribe to Tidal US and Qobuz UK, but after Qobuz launches in the USA this fall that may be all I'll need. Everyone wants to date my avatar. Link to comment
rodrigaj Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 @left channel Thank you for showing the Qobuz listing for the Paul Lewis album I had referenced. Along with the Spotify listing, it confirms that Tidal is truncating track information. I am looking forward to the Qobuz USA launch in the fall, but in the meantime I have signed up for Spotify premium. The 360kbps bitrate is good enough for music exploration. FWIW, when I unsubscribed to Tidal I gave them a detailed explanation of their shortcomings. I doubt that anyone at Tidal will care but I thought I would give it a shot. left channel 1 "The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought", Sir Thomas Beecham.

rodrigaj Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 @left channel That Qobuz track information is awesome. Regarding Tidal demographics, I am not sure who that is supposed to be.

They care mostly about artist compensation, but apparently do think quality bit rates — a preexisting feature of the service when they bought it — are important too. Most Tidal users, not so much. About half are probably from the lead owners' own fan base. (Not hipsters. Hip-hop.) This is the source of our conflicting perceptions of the service, and why other companies have more of a financial interest in targeting CA members. Everyone wants to date my avatar. Link to comment
jft Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 -Tidal takes several minutes to load. Very long to start songs (ethernet/downloaded) -Running Tidal to my Oppo 105 player, can't adjust volume on Tidal desk (bottom right corner/speaker icon) when click on it, it opens track page with artist/song info. Volume control on PC can't be adjusted. Force volume is grey. -Works fine with PC speakers but volume goes all the way up when a new title starts. Removed/installed.. same issue. Link to comment
Jas0_0 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi, can anyone help? I'm getting crackling and dropouts playing Tidal MQA via Audirvana+ 3.2.8. The same track Master quality via the Tidal macOS app plays fine. So far I've only had this problem with MQA flac - all other bitrates fine on A+. Am I doing something wrong in A+? Maybe this should be in an Audirvana thread not Tidal? Thanks, Jas Link to comment

kiwi2000 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have not been to this forum in a long while. I now have a Marantz AV-7704, Oppo 103 and a subscription to Tidal Hi-Fi. I have an app called HEOS which is convienent but does not allow for the pass through of MQA quailty audio from Tidal. The app also does not display the full Tidal web site information whcih I can access if I use Bluetooth via my android phone and play it through the AV-7704. But no MQA that way either. My question for the forum is how can I access the MQA content I am paying for and play it through the AV-7704? If I am in the wrong area please let me know where I should post this question. I am looking at a new PC and am not averse to purchasing something to allow me to access these files from PC to the Marantz. Please advise. Link to comment
