So I am loving my Onyx Lynx, and the idea of an android tablet with Bluetooth functioning on eink, except for a few very prominent glitches. Probably the most troublesome is the fact that when the battery lowers to close to 50%, the Lynx tends to reboot. And then often hit a boot loop. Often the rebooting is prompted by using WiFi, turning WiFi on, plugging the Lynx in, or doing something resource intensive, but these reboots never happen when I am more fully charged. Further, if my Lynx is plugged in when below a certain charge (this starts at a pretty full charge - around 75% I'd say), it will reboot and enter a boot loop. This happens also if I power on the Lynx below a certain power while it's plugged in. And for plugging in to the PC, the same occurs by roughly the same battery percentage.

The other issue is the touch reception, as has been discussed already in this thread. In the app drawer, for instance, if I try to click an app anywhere, it usually hits the settings button first (the dropdown with manage applications). Then I have to click off and click again. Often when I click something, say an OK button, it will highlight to black. But it won't actually click, as if I were holding the mouse over it and not releasing. I have to click again to actually make it click.

I'm on the latest firmware and I'm really hoping future updates will fix these issues!
