Thanks to this thread I decided to order Boyue T62 insted of Onyx T68. Got my T62 5 days ago. I was most nervous about the battery issues. But they seem to be fixed in the Nov 27 build (T62C).

With Sep 23 build I got about 10 hours of usage. Now 3 days with the Nov 27 build and with one charge I have now gone down to 54% used. While WLAN has been on for 72 hours and screen for 9. This is quite excellent as I've been installing and testing different applications. There should be tons less screen changes when actually just using the device for reading. So battery usage seems to be quite excellent even without battery saving apps (Greenify/SetCPU etc..) with the latest build.

Still intresting to see how much SetCPU improves the usage time.

Also the audio quality was a pleasant surprise. It is quite nice to be able to listen spotify while reading.

Can easily recommend the device for everyone who doesn't mind that to get everything working you have to invest some extra effort initially. For me the versatility of the device far outweights all the minuses.
