Thank you. That is very good to know. I didn't reinstall Alreader after I did the factory reset... but I may go back to it if I can see all the menus. (Especially if Boyue never fixes the punctuation issue with the built-in reading app.) I am saving your post as a reminder.

Disable the auto-correction and spell-checker in the android menu.

It's eating 2-3% (for a total of 5-6% with the system) of CPU constantly and making the cpu scaling to a faster frequency more often.
After disabling this I'm getting a 3% of CPU and battery life is better.
Thanks for that advice also. I disabled the spell-checker. I didn't see an auto-correction setting though... is that just part of the spell-checker?

I have the 'battery saver' setting on. Right now, the battery estimate is about ten days, which is great for me. I just wish I could get rid of the battery saver notification -- it doesn't allow me to sweep it away, like I've been able to do with other notifications. Does anybody know how I can get rid of it so I don't have to tap on 'switch' each time I want to change the lighting or see my battery percentage, etc.?

Also, I previously mentioned how important contrast is to me, and I really like the large screen of the Mimas... but it is more of a warm ivory tone (Edited: 'antique white' color, maybe) than the white of my Boyue T62+... in case anybody is interested in buying this device and wants a very white screen. (I am referring to how they look with the frontlight on low, because I always have it on, unless I am in bright sunlight.)

Edited again because I eventually noticed that in certain types of ambient light, with the device light on, the screen actually looks substantially more 'white' than the frame.
