Hello All.
Sorry, I started this topic yesterday, but I was extremely busy with some other things and I couldn't reply. So here is an update:
After charging again, PP5 seems fine. Again, I still don't have time to actually use it for some time, but I will try to find time for a real test because I need to make sure it's working properly.
By the way, someone (sorry, don't remember the name) had issue after taking the SD card out and many people decided not to try that. I would recommend exactly the opposite: do it while you can return if necessary - believe me, it will happen at some point so it's better to do it now! I tried taking out the card myself a few times using two scenarios: after locking and while reading a book from it. In both cases PP5 was going to the main menu and NO issues! So again, try it right now because it will eventually happen regardless how carefully you try not to do that!
Answering to a few questions:
- I am using the latest firmware (I have updated the original one a few days ago)
- I took out the SD card while the device was off right before the issue happened. To be honest, I don't think that had anything to do with the battery issue. I did repeat the steps, but nothing bad happened.
Let me add a few more things not directly related to the topic:
- in general, I like the device. I have no prior experience with such devices. But the real field test is ahead.
- I mostly need it for PDF files. I understand that because of the size of the screen, I can't expect too much. But I still think that there is a lot of room for improvement there: I DO expect to have more zoom options and finer control over it - because of the small size, we DO need more options for formatting the text. Some PDFs look fine, but some others do not and there is not enough flexibility there to fine-tune how the text gets displayed.
-TTS is just Ok. I was expecting a little more. The voice is not that robot-like. I'm not sure if this is something that could be fixed by a new firmware.
- Important: someone said that sometimes you press a button and nothing happens so you need to press it again: I observed the same behavior by myself! I agree that it's very frustrating. Does anyone else experience the issue? Is this a hardware issue (like the contacts inside)? Probably not because I DO see that the light flashes which means the device tries to do something but then nothing happens until you press it second time.
Thanks,
