I received my Likebook Plus device several days ago with firmware v1.0.2
preinstalled, then I updated it to v2.0.0 201805... through system update
(despite having seen warning not do do so), later I reflashed it. Some
observations I have made:
The preinstalled web browser cannot access github.com, get error message "Couldn't establish a secure connection." The root sertificate used by github is installed as a trusted sertificate. Other https sites do open, and Dolphin browser I installed can access github. I guess some restrictions on crypto in China are to blame.
In Russian localisation (and also in German one) the "Android Settings" and "Settings" app are called the same, which is confusing.
I tried audio playback through bluetooth with v2.0.0, noticed no problem.
The "Wi-Fi book transfer" app for uploading books through local net has only Chinese in its web interface.
Trying to enable screen locking through "Android Settings" app (Secutrity -> Scren Lock) leads to crash. When I set password through "Setting" app and all worked fine except that at startup password was not asked immediately but rather after a couple of my actions. When I change Settings->Device settings->"Time for password needed after locking screen" to a value other than "Imm", a different interface for entering password is appears and password I set is rejected, so I had to restart the device. Now, I set password using "Lock screen password" app, and this password matches, and after I enter it the other password interface appears asking for password set through "settings". The whole thing seems to be messedup.
With v2.0.0 installed through system upgrade there once appeared a strange problem. When I connected the device to my computer through USB, "USB connected" screen appeared and animation showed work was going on, but nothing further happened. A workaround I found was to restart the device while connected to computer. Later the problem disappeared, maybe after I installed on my computer the driver for reflashing.
With firmware v1.0.2, when KOreader was started with backlight turned off, its backlight control was unable to turn it on, when started with backlight on it worked. After installing v2.0.0 through system upgrade, any attempt to change backlight settings through KOreader made backlight turn off. After reflashsing, the backlight control started working.
Wishes:
At least Android 4.4 (which the chip manufactor does support) would be nice. The up-to-date Amazon Kindle app requires at least Android 4.4, the one I got installed is released in 2010.
It would be nice if long press on WiFi and Bluetooth buttons in "Switch" dropdown toolbar menu would open corresponding settings page.
