wklie,
Thanks, I have done that.
Still freezing up, after 2 different iPads (Apple & Samsung) 2 different modems, countless rebooting etc. Still the same problem exists. I swear there is something wrong with the latest Lumin firmware/Qobuz Connect update. Everything seemed fine before that.
Hard to believe that I am the only one experiencing this problem.
BTW, just with Qobuz connect app playing, it does not sound as good as with the Lumin app. Plus the Qobuz screen functions seem to be less practical.
I like the Lumin app, just can't stand this constant freezing up!

wklie,
Well... I powered down everything overnight. I then deleted the new Lumin app from the Samsung tablet. Then I downgraded the Lumin app to the previous version as you provided, and it works now without freezing up! Must have been the new app.
HUGE Thanks!!!
BTW, the newest firmware version did sound better that this older version in terms of sound quality.
Hopefully future upgrades will try to marriage these 2 firmware's.
Question though:
On my Samsung Tablet, In the process of the downgrade, I did switch from Samsung to Chrome streaming. Could that have possibly been why the newest version was freezing up ? Should I dare to try the newest version upgrade again...? Gulp...

I guess I was getting confused between a Firmware update and an App. I think I understand the difference now.
Question though:
On my Samsung Tablet, In the process of the downgrade to the 7.1.7 app, I did switch from Samsung to Chrome streaming. Could that have possibly been why the current version 8.0 was freezing up?
Should I dare to try the latest app version upgrade again...? Gulp...

Thanks. Is it possible though that switching from Samsung streaming to Chrome will have any effect with the new App freezing up?

Ok thanks. Sorry if I seem to be a pest but I still can't figure out why just an app upgrade change would cause the Tablets to freeze up.
Perhaps I should delete some of the other apps on the device?

Have you had any locking up issues ever since it started working? If not, don''t fix what ain't broke and don't rock the boat. Leave well enough alone, don't care about the "Why/How/What" and just enjoy the music brother.
Life's to short to bother yourself with certain things.

Looks like the latest Lumin app 9.0 was just updated to my Samsung Tablet, and once again the Tablet playing the Lumin is freezing up!

Yes, I have an 8 TB Hard Drive attached to the Lumin via usb. It contains my entire CD/Record collection, approx. 5000 albums, CD recordings. Most are recorded in a HR format.
Still, I never had an issue until the latest updates.
Should I disconnect my Hard Drive until I am ready to use it?
Just disconnected the Hard drive. Samsung/Lumin still freezing up after about 15-20 minutes.
Sigh, So frustrating...

Just returned to the Lumin app 7.1.7 that wklie provided and it is not freezing up.
What is it about the latest 2 app updates that is causing the problem?

For more information.
I am using a Fiber connection from my EtherRegen directly to the Lumin X1.
Is it possible that the fiber connection is not able to pass all the signal that is in the new apps?
It has to be something with the new Lumin apps, I have tried every possible setting on the Samsung and the Lumin.
Help!

EtherRegen only has the one 100 Ethernet port (“B Port”) opposite the side from the SFP cage. The “A Side” is all 1 gig. The SFP connection should be 1 gig speed, depending on your specific modules. Try using copper Ethernet, from etherRegen and the Lumin, and see if there is any difference.
I’m assuming your incoming Ethernet is plugged into to “B” port. If you’re incoming Ethernet is plugged into the “A” then run copper Ethernet from the “B” port to the Lumin.
My incoming Ethernet came on Fiber, with “B” going to the DAC.

Bones13,
Thank you for the help.
I found that the Lumin sounds better using the fiber to it, and, the etherregen/Lumin has been connected up this way since I purchased the Lumin several years ago.
I don't understand why now with a new app that would be an issue.
To run ethernet cable to the Lumin just to try it would require quite a bit of maneuvering the cables through the walls. Something I am willing to do if that would solve the problem, but I don't think it would.
Is it possible that the new Lumin app is using more memory space than the previous 7.1.7 version?

So, after many Lumin app upgrades, my Tablet has continued to freeze up after about 8 songs. The songs continue to play and my remote works fine, it's just that to pick another song or pause, change volume, etc. via the Tablet, the Tablet will not respond. I have to shut down the Lumin app and relaunch it, then again it plays for about 8 songs and freezes up.
Very, very frustrating.
I just went back to the Lumin 7.1.7.apk and it plays fine.
There is definitely something wrong with the latest Lumin app upgrades that I wish Lumin would take seriously and fix.

I thought you said it was freezing because of that Rick Shultz shockwave gizmo?

NO Quarter, Thanks for your interest.
Well, the Ric Shultz unit was defective, but eventually the Lumin 9.0 firmware raised its ugly head again and started the whole freezing up process again.
A few days ago, I had the Cable Company guy check out my modem and setup and everything is up to spec. That is now 2 separate iPad's, 3 different modems and the problem still persist.
Here is what I sent to Angus the other day. He has not replied. I believe he is getting sick of me.
Angus, Just went back to the Lumin 7.1.7 app and no freezing up issues. So, it is definitely associated with the newer apps. Seems like since you added the Qoboz direct feature started the issue, but maybe not, I'm not sure.
Anyway, I will keep using the 7.1.7 version if you can confirm that the newer apps do not provide improved sound quality that I will be missing out with the older app.
And I noticed that the only way to reestablish the 7.1.7 app seems to be from your post on Audioshark. Which concerns me if that is no longer available.
Angus, I am very complexed as to why others have not experienced this problem.
