What about battery, some users are reporting battery fast drawn.

Yes, battery I think fails...
I've had it on suspend mode with all apps disabled.. after 3 days and 12 hours has fallen to a 37%!!! I'll read a book after finishing the one I'm reading on my Sony T2 and will post the results but.... Edit. 4 days on suspend mode, not used, battery 0% Last edited by cnmcleod; 09-01-2014 at 01:19 AM. |

"It won't run for me" (Nate) doesn't provide much of a clue. Does he have Java installed ? Was he able to launch the app ? Did he enter his Google Store credentials ? Did he receive any error messages ? If so, which ones : from Windows, or from Racoon ? Did he have a look at the manual ? So many questions, so few answers ....

Personally, IMO, I don't care too much whether I have 1000-1500 page flips or 8000 flips : battery time is a small trade-off to pay for the versatility of Android, especially as the device loads via the now standard and omnipresent 5V microUSB.
IIRC, the battery loads up quite fast too with a 1A supply. |

What I like/want in a E-ink Reader is charge once and forget to do it again during weeks, read what and where I want; for using Android and apps I have my Tablet or smartphone. Before launching ereaders with android they should optimize first the OS. IMO...

For me, not being restricted to the manufacturer's apps and being able to install my own eReader apps, dictionaries, encyclopedias, ... strongly outweighs the shortened battery life. |

For me the battery drain issue is particularly important. The easiest way around is the following:
in 'Settings' go to those that have to do with personal preferences and select the one that shuts-down (not sleep) the device within 20 mins of inactivity. As for the additional applications, I have installed the E-reader store application from the Icarus site (just an apk file) and I can get almost anything I need directly from the WiFi connection of the device.

got mine
Hi everybody.
I got my t62 today to replace my old NST. I rooted mine but had a problem. In fact, ADB is not working(before and after rooting) . Is anyone having this problem (T61 or E653) ? |

I ordered my T62 a few days ago so I should be getting it within the next 2 weeks. Hopefully you will have figured out everything by then and posted it.

How about some pics when you get a chance that is. I'm looking to replace my NST as well with the T62 I just have a few more things in front of the new reader then I will be ordering I hope in the next few weeks.

Adb's problem is related to the board's windows driver. Quote:

How much space is available to install apps? Are you going to try to install Google play store? How did you root?
