Hello. For the last few years, I am using a HiFi subscription plan and everything was relatively fine. All my downloaded (on my smartphone) tracks were marked by a small HiFi label on the bottom left corner and the sound was nice. Recently I have been forced to reinstall my buggy Deezer app (I was not able to open it) and since then I've been dealing with low-quality of downloaded tracks. Although I have set the quality of the downloaded songs to HiFi (and also for streaming), only a few of them are labelled as HiFi when they are downloaded. Even the storage usage on my smartphone is circa half, so I'm convinced tracks are not really downloaded at the highest quality. I am pretty sure that all my favourite tracks are available in HiFi (the same track played on my notebook - desktop app and from the browser - is HiFi labelled). What is interesting if some downloaded track is labelled as Hifi, this label will disappear soon (e.g. the next day I can not see it). I have tried to reinstall my app many times but without success. Any ideas on how to fix it? Btw, I don't want to reinstall the whole phone because of one app...

When audio quality for download is set to High Fidelity, track image is losing the HiFi badge.
Originally thought this meant quality was not downloading correctly. I'm new to Deezer, so only have 30 songs on favorites list.
Going by setting quality from standard, to HQ, to High Fidelity, I downloaded a Playlist within each quality and subsequently cleared the data before moving to the next quality. I monitored downloaded data of the 30 songs in my Playlist during this.
Standard: 100mb
HQ: 244mb
Hi fidelity: 689mb
I believe, in my case, it's downloading correctly but still not displaying the hi-fi badge on the cover art.
This was done before and after reinstalling the app and using airplane mode and offline mode in combination.
