I gave my iPod Touch with My Fader to the keyboardist yesterday - this is the first time I've run IEM's with it. The battery only seemed to last an hour or so :( . Is that normal when they are left "on"? It was outdoors so the brightness was up fairly high. I've had no problem with the iPads' battery life so assumed :facepalm: that the iPod Touch would be plenty for a two hour gig x( .
He had an iPhone but I didn't know how to deal with the security issues of demanding that he let me enter my network password and lock him out of all but his aux - plus convince him to disable auto connect. IMO having zero security on the DL1608 besides the network password sucks :( .

I have exactly the same concerns about letting my band mates have My Fader access to the DL.

BTW, I use the same workaround for the security problem by having an iPod Touch to hand out (though the plan is to give it to a mate for FOH when I'm playing). Battery life is poor at best :(

In this particular case it was for the keyboard player who also plays guitar at opposite ends of the stage :o so needs to carry the iPod Touch back and forth. They also play two hour shows straight through so no break to put it on the charger x( . I ended up giving him my iPad Mini and undocking my iPad 2 for me to use.

If you have an iPhone this looks like it would work:

They have them for both the "4" and "5" :) - but not for the iPod Touch :( .

I am confused as the latest iPhone and iTouch are spec'd at around 8 hours of battery life on video playback or internet browsing I'd think they could run My Fader that long too?
