Re. new f/w 1.7 and browser bookmarks:
- I can now add additional start-pages, good.
- The existing start-pages (Google, Onyx, Wiki) cannot be deleted. Others can, (but only via the bookmark icon (star) in the browser).
- Start-page Google is German. (If preferences in Google itself can be changed, I have not been able to find out where.)
- When adding a page to start-pages, it does not add it to the bookmark list (good).
- Adding a bookmark to the bookmark list, also adds it as a start-page. I get the feeling this behavior is unintended. (Existing bookmarks are not shown on start-page, which I consider the desired behavior.)
- When adding a start-page or a bookmark, the bookmark icon (star) in the browser reflects this perfectly. It does not, however, reflect the already existing bookmarks.
- Form entering and drop-down menus are somewhat of a slow bother, and drop.downs might actually crash the browser. (E.g. try to go to
www.duckduckgo.com, then click Settings in lower right-hand corner, change some and see how far you get).
WiFi:
- If suspending the unit whilst connected, it seems virtually impossible to 'revive' it again, i.e. it keeps crashing out to start-page, and/or hangs permanently on Scanning. Only way around this is to jump all the way out to initial page and choose Web again.
- Wish: It would be nice if there was an indication of what WiFi point the unit is connected to (e.g. when going to Network, have it filled in with existing instead of blank). Minor point, though...
It seems that most people don't care much about Web functionality, so I understand if this is not exactly a priority... but I do, though.
Booxtor, is there a place I could forward some of these issues to? Or seeing as you are in contact with them, maybe you could do it, when you have a minute?
All the best...
