It is possible to discharge a device after heavy usage in one day (wi-fi, apps, etc.).

Just received the Afterglow yesterday.
Regarding this...
I played with it for half an hour or so... then charged it completely... 100%

This morning charge was 80%.
Suspension mode, wifi off. No use after charging it...

On T68 (ereaderstore version) I could access system management and switch off all things related to data.
I even deleted Telephony app. Battery seems to last the same as my KPW2...

¿Is there any way to disable these things?

PS: delivery was in time. So no complain.

I had AG2 last week.
So, it doesn't save configuration for backlight.
You have to restart wifi manualy when you need it, that's very bad.
Touchscreen not acurate and not responsive.
Charge last 2 days not 8 weeks, that doesn't matter for me for the moment.
Sorry for my poor english.

Can somebody create a short video to show how fast browsing and general reaction time is?

lems1995 · 11-30-2014, 05:12 AM

The battery discharge very fast.
I did this experience:
disabled front-lit
enable wifi
no page turn at all, device on stand-by state
charged à 100% at 11h local time
device ask to charge at 22h of the same day,so the device remains charged only 11 h, not 1 day nor 8 weeks.

My opinion is: the components are higth consomption or the type of battery is not what said in specs - Battery: 1700mAh Li-Polymer-

Has any one open the device to see whaat type of battery inside,
Thanks.

Dear ArtaTechPoland,

I'm sorry to open the subject again, but do you know when we will be able to buy Onyx Boox Afterglow 2 with pre-installed French?

The site says it will soon be possible :

https://onyx-boox.com/support/f-a-q/

"The other language voices will also soon be available for purchase separatelly. Ivona TTS on Onyx Boox will be available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish and Romanian with this top quality."

Otherwise, could I download via Google Play Ivona in French? You said earlier:

"If you feel the need to use different TTS system please feel free to browse the Google Play store and install e.g Google Text-To-Speech app. It supports dozens of voices."

Thank you very much for this information. If I solve this problem I want to buy it.

Nico.

Hello,

I cannot confirm and give you any specifics. I am going to speak with Onyx about that.

I noticed that you can install but not set Google's TTS in the Settings like I used to do on Onyx BOOX Lynx. I sent an inquiry to Onyx about that. Still awaiting for a response.

Nico0 · 12-03-2014, 12:53 PM

Well.

Thank you for keeping us informed, especially for the date of preinstallation of French.

The difference with the T68 is not just a difference in screen size?

Hello!
Have you solved the battery issue? Any further comments about device performance/issues with epub, pdf, tts, google app, mp3 player and so on?
I'm considering to buy the device but I haven't found any comprehensive review about this device yet.

Thank you and Happy New Year!
Maurizio
