I'm supposed to get my replacement today. It's funny because I haven't shipped off my first one yet. I managed to unbrick it but I'm thinking about shipping it back anyway because it seems to have apps closing frequently on it now. The browser will sometimes crash while displaying a page on the eInk and "Farkle Free" won't even load (whereas it worked perfectly before). Other apps seem to randomly (albeit less frequently) just close for no reason and with no error. I don't know if I damaged the video somehow or if there's still a file system issue somewhere.
When I get it (it's on the FedEx truck now) I think I'll make sure it works well and send in my old unit. Actually I might email Woot first and ask them what they want me to do about it. I kind of assumed they'd wait for me to send back the first unit before sending off the replacement. Who knows? Maybe they'll just say to keep both?
Nah I'll probably just send in my old one. It also has a small issue where a spot on the touchscreen doesn't seem to be in the right 'location'. For example while playing a free GIN app while dragging a card across the screen sometimes it will hit a spot close the the middle and the car will fly to the corner of the screen and then settle back in with my other cards, almost like it thinks a single pixel that is close to the center is actually close to the corner. Also once in a rare while Angry Birds will launch a bird off in an uncommanded direction. Might be related to that bug. I'm curious as if this is a hardware or a software problem.
I'll spend a day testing the new one to see if it does the same and go from there.
