The menu button on the opus had never work on press event, but on the release event

fiery · 07-17-2010, 10:06 AM

Indeed, the menu button works on the release event, but with the new firmware 2.1 on Opus, I have to hold it for 2 sec. or push it twice for the menu to appear (in rare cases menu appears as usual with one short pressing). It worked fine with v2.0. Now I have to use the OK button instead.

It seems that this problem appears due to the new "Accelerometer shortcut" feature. Bookeen explains it this way:

"Accelerometer shortcut (Cybook Opus)
Accelerometer can be enabled/disabled with “Menu” + “Enter” shortcut."

I agree with fiery. Now you have to keep pressed the menu button more time for it to work.

I'm using the Gen3 with the Mobipocket version and upgraded to 1.6

The good result:
The dictionary lookup works significantly better, thank you Bookeen for fixing this.

The bad result:
I have the feeling that the battery time declined. I am not using the sleep mode but putting it off with a loooong press on the button, but nevertheless I have to recharge more often than before. Have you made the same experience?

My 'bad' result is freezing*, especially switching on and getting to the first logon screen ....

*1 in a year pre-upgrade.....

EowynCarter · 07-26-2010, 03:04 AM

GeoffC, you mean the first screen with the cybook image ?

My cybook has been freezing less with the update

Bad point : battery meter is kind of messing up.

GeoffC · 07-26-2010, 10:24 AM

I do, that's the point at which it freezes - and I've certainly experienced more than pre-upgrade.

(though to be honest half a dozen doesn't constitute any major problem for me, just annoyance at having to look for a reset pin)

First thing I would try is formating memory. And SD if relevant.

GeoffC · 07-26-2010, 11:04 AM

It's worthy of consideration, and perhaps will do, but only if it gets more annoying....thanks for the suggestion. (haven't used an SD card since the earlier upgrade problems)

I have upgraded to 1.6 too and am very happy with the CJK implementation in the library pages as I do read books in both Chinese and Japanese. Thank you Bookeen.

As to the battery time I have the impression that it is actually better. My Gen 3 used to stop responding to button presses when it reached 60% power. Now it goes all the way down to 10% before it stops responding, meaning a more accurate battery gauge. I have not experienced a single freezing up since I upgraded.
