1.4.7
- Battery: with the screen off, the album art loaders check for work once a second while music plays too, not only when nothing plays; they were waking the player 30 times a second for art nobody could see. Waking the screen right after a track change can show the old cover for up to a second. Tidal's helper, once you've used Tidal, checks once a second instead of 5 times while the Q2 sits dark and silent.
- Games: Vortex and Snake keep their full frame rate. Two seconds after the last button press they dropped to about 19 frames a second, so the ball juddered and the paddle lagged, because turning the wheel in Vortex didn't count as using the Q2.
- iPod: 1.4.6's pill-shaped selection bar is now a choice, Display → Appearance → Corners. Square, the full-width bar with square album grid tiles and pop-up buttons from before 1.4.6, is the default in both themes; Rounded gives the pill and rounded tiles and buttons. Changing theme leaves your choice alone.
- iPod: in Classic, album and artist grids frame the selected album in the accent colour, with the cover inside, as Minimal does. Before, the cover hid the top of the selection.
- Display settings are split into sub-menus. After Brightness, Screen off and Lock screen come Appearance (Theme, Accent, Corners, Home, Battery; iPod), Coverflow (Artist Albums, Coverflow Sort, Refresh Coverflow) and Controls (Shortcut on iPod, Hold Return, Wheel Sensitivity).
- Videos: a video picked in Folder view plays, as it does from Library's Videos row, instead of failing as a song. Both start the same player and remember where you stopped.
- Bluetooth: the Q2's volume no longer changes your speaker's or headphones' own volume by default, as on stock firmware, so turning the Q2 down doesn't leave the speaker weak and thin. Bluetooth → Control Device Volume, under Resume on Connect, brings back the linked volume: the Q2's volume sets the device's, and the device's buttons move the Q2's.
