When I installed SetCPU, I noticed a significant improvement in battery life. Did you do anything special to improve yours? |

I've gone back to the T62 rom. The sleep issues were just too annoying. No sleep issues now - other than remembering to manually turn on wifi after my T62 awakens. I also get - with either rom - at least 20 hours of battery use on a charge, with wifi on. Not bad.

I hope it's not a fluke though, I have my device for not even a week. I'm using Boyue ROM, 2014092318, came this way. The only thing I did between my complaining about battery and now is: - rooted - installed DeepSleep Battery Saver DS didn't seem to make any difference in the first couple of days, so that's why I can't really correlate w/ the battery behavior change. |

Mine is the July version from nightboy's post, OP. I haven't tried any more recent ones for the same reason you gave.

I found an answer to the font fuzziness - turn page animation on. I was using the Kindle app and noticed the font stayed more clear than in moon+ so I used shift horizontally and that refreshes better and the animation isn't too bad.
Edit: Google real page turn flashes black every page turn, so if you don't mind that it's a good choice too. Last edited by Purple Lady; 11-23-2014 at 05:45 PM. |

In AIReader, turning on the animation doesn't help.
How do you turn animation on in Kindle ? In Moon+ I have turned on shift horizontally, but I don't see any improvement either. |

Animation in the Kindle app is automatic - you can't turn it off. Did you try Google real page turn in moon+? That flashes black like regular eink for me, so if that doesn't help on yours, I don't know what else would.

I didn't understand what you said but now I've tried it and you're right: it does real refresh and the contours are smooth. However it flashes twice and the whole thing takes quite some time and, at least for my eyes, it's quite disturbing
Thanks for trying though! |

Battery Life has been about what I expected 2-3 days, but I noticed that if I use another launcher other than the Boyue one the reader turns on a few minutes after I turn it off.
I too noticed that the reader does not do a full screen refresh with third party ebook readers like mantano, I tried to figure out the keycode for the screen refresh button to see if I could make a tasker profile to simulate a key press every so often but none of the apps that detect key presses detects it so it must be bypassing android all together and just refreshing the screen (long press does get detected, but that just turns the frontlight on/off) So far I am liking this reader a lot |

I pointed that out because you said it was slow. The flashes looked to me like the same thing you get on a regular eink, but I haven't tried reading with that setting yet so I hope it's ok for me to read with. In my testing it did make the fonts more clear.

But no matter how fast I set it it's still flashes too much, it tires my eyes. |

Tried setting my boyue to automatically turn off after a few minutes of inactivity but that fails to kick in, anyone else run into the same problem?
