New Firmware 1.420100811

Dulin's Books · 08-16-2010, 07:18 PM

Thanks to the users over at booxusers.com for spotting this new firmware available on the Russian distributer site

Note before trying this firmware- remember to not transfer the language file to your SD card before updating. this will keep it from changing your menus to Russian language

. Also be ware that since this is on a new SDK some or ALL of your apps may not work.

posted changes include:
1. Changes to power management
2. Corrected bug when changing coding in txt
3. Corrected bug in the music player
4. Other small fixes

but whats really nice is what else russian users have found and that i have just been playing with

Rotation for both left and right handed use in landscape orientation. This has been a long time coming. Its apparently a bit difficult to do properly with the wacom included but it seems to be working perfectly.

handwriting works better- i can now do 2-3 letters at a time

Copy and Paste from PDFs and EPUB into Notes!

Now you can "mark" text in a PDF or epub , copy it, then open a note and paste the "clip" into note. the note file is saved as a .txt so you can easily export them

Its a bit cumbersome still to exit the document/book then open notes , then paste but it works and its exportable

Three days on standby and reading fot three hours, still 80% battery life

I usually lose one bar per day even just in standby, so this would be great. I just upgraded and charged it fully, so I will let you know in a few days how much battery I have left.

battery life is definitely improved - 4 days with 7-8 hours reading, about 30 minutes with wifi on and I still have two bars. previously this would have completely drained the battery at least one day earlier.

In 3 1/2 days I am down to 2 bars. That is in standby with no more than 30 minutes use. I don't find that very good. I use my Mini for reading and that lasts weeks.

Update. Just had a look at my Neo and noticed that the WiFi switch was still on. That makes a difference. I am just charging it again and expect much better results this time.

I could do 5 days on a charge with 1-2 hours reading a day and standby (wifi switched off). It used to be 4 days so only a slight improvement. I'm going back to switching it off between readings.
