@CommanderRor
I don't have my iLiad at hand to try this but, have you tried pluggin in your earphones? Maybe that would cancel the speaker output as a temporary solution while the software gets fixed. Also, my iLiad came with sound on and it doesn't sound. Maybe you should have turned it off before upgrading and the result is the locking of the option [this is absolutely speculative of course, but I'll sure turn sound off before upgrading and let you know about the result] |

@LittleTalker
I had Sound set to "Off" when I did the update...so that wasn't it apparently. @Tribble that is a strange error...did you restart your device after the 2.5 update |

@ tribble: you are not alone. I have the same problem as you, after installing pre-2.5. Same message "download complete" without any download.
@ CommaderROR: Yes, I restarted my Iliad. Quote:

AUDIO
* giving synthetic audio feedback for page flips, which are already acompanied by a "natural" mechanic sound does not make much sense and abuses design philisophy... SCRIBBLING * erasing simply turns black lines into white lines, which is not such a good idea if you are drawing on images... * PEN pressure is useless, as is the eraser button (is it one?) on the pen. Which is rather stupid from an ergonomic point of view... FOLDER NAVIGATION * I still cannot go directly back to the folder I came from when I am viewing a document. * for productive use I need more file information than is shown at the moment PDF VIEWER * Viewing password protected PDF leads to a never ending loading progress bar. Only activating the keyboad by chance will bring up the password dialog, which is resized to fullscreen and therefore pretty unergonomic USER INTERFACE / DESIGN * While having a progress indicator during loading of documents is a good idea, using the page indicators for it is a bad idea from a design point of view. It does not make much sense and abuses a rather good design philipsophy of viewing the page numbers. Do not spoil a good design by quick and dirty workarounds which are in danger to become permanent ones... * Using a dark boot up screen is not very E-Ink like. The big advantage of E-Ink is it's high contrast. So why not using som elegant black on white calligraphics or something like that, which harmonizes good with the design of the user interface? * Using expanding and collapsing sub menus (scribble) is not harmonizing with a low fps screen. Do it a different way, please! DEVICE SETTINGS * no dialog for setting the date and time Last edited by R2D2; 07-25-2006 at 10:17 AM. |
