Sony Nw-a105 Custom Firmware -

If you bought the Sony NW-A105 for streaming Apple Music or Spotify, do not install custom firmware. The battery gains are minimal, and the hassle of rooting isn't worth it.

Sony, in its infinite wisdom, pre-loads the device with "Sony Music Center" bloatware, aggressive battery optimization that kills background apps, and a regional volume cap that leaves many audiophones wanting more headroom. sony nw-a105 custom firmware

Happy listening.
