It makes using it one hell of a meditation. In fact, I haven't for several months.
I'm not going to upgrade it in any way (having lurked in the forum) but before it becomes completely retro, I'd like to try and fix the random glitching. It is a lovely little reader really. I did take the back off, right back when I first got it, because it wasn't charging. I never figured it out, because it started charging again, for no good reason. Maybe that has something to do with the screen glitching.
It would be so good to hear other people have had this happen. Especially as originally my friend's Lifebook was mine. Yeah, I was trying to get *his* to charge up.
Here's hoping,

Hey Sandy,
To be honest, this is my first time ever posting to a forum but I felt like I had to throw in my two cents. I own a Likebook Plus since last year and I really love the device. I'm a med student so I have to do a lot of reading and I really feel it's saving my eyes. However, just about a month after I bought the device, I had the same issue as you. The pages started to scroll by themselves, as if someone was touching the screen. I went into Android developer settings and enabled the "show touches" option to realize that in fact there was a random touch input on the screen. It was located one the right superior quadrant of the screen. I won't lie, I was going mad about it. I wasn't even able to read a page because it would suddenly change. or move
Eventually, the random touch input disappeared but something else occurred instead. A longitudinal area from top to bottom of the screen of about 2 centimeters in width won't respond to touch input, as if the digitizer in this area had died. I recall doing several factory resets and even a reflash, but the issue still persisted. I wasn't able to send my device back to the manufacturer since I do not reside in the country I bought it. I've actually learned to live with the issue, since it does not cover the whole screen. I still love the device and would prefer if it worked perfectly, but I've lost hope already. I still use it every single day. I'm sorry I don't bring good news, but I hope your issue resolves on a better way that did mine!
