It goes like this: I usually work with pdf documents (between 17-20 pages long), using the stock pdf reader, as I want to write notes and drawings on top of those pdf docs. I write notes in some pages, then turn the page and go to the next one. Some times I return to the previous page, and the notes I had written a few seconds/minutes ago do not exist any more!
Please Boyue, fix this now!!!!! It makes this device totally untrustworthy!!!! 
PD: firmware/compilation number currently installed in my Mimas: BYRead-V1.1.3-2019092718 |
Unfortunately, with the latest firmware published days ago, the problem of disappeared handwritten notes taken on PDF files still persists. I'd say it is even worst... in a 17-page long pdf, I took handwritten notes on approx. 6 pages, and notes disappeared from 3 of those pages.
However there's something strange, and this may be a hint to locate the problem: when you press on the document, the second icon in the lower left corner takes you to a screen where you can see which pages have something written on top (screenshots of those pages are shown). Well, there I can still see the pages where the handwritten notes disappeared! I attach a link to a photo, where the tip of the pen is pointing to one of those pages whose notes disappeared:

(There is still another problem that happened to me: suddenly, some of the pages of that pdf document did only show my handwritten notes, but not the "background", I mean, the content of the page itself. I closed and reopened the document and the problem was gone. I attach 2 more links photos of this problem. Anyway, for me, this is not as important as losing the notes you take... )

By the way, I sent mail to Boyue about this.
It's a pity, I think the new firmware is a step forward, with improved and new functions, although there are still some things to "polish" and modify, like exporting notes to pdf instead of HTML file (I guess we shouldn't worry too much, as in the first firmwares the export was also only to HTML, and later Boyue changed that into PDF export
)
