Thank you.
Main ones I have noticed are
- no longer showing battery percentage at all when tapping battery icon (as opposed to showing it intermittently)
- pdf reader has new and improved settings when tapping at centre bottom of page with additional upper bar
- epub reader has improved reader settings, with wider choice of font sizes and margin sizes (+/- controls)

There is a change log here.

At the moment the links for the v1.7.5 are the wong way round as between ML Plus and HD. When you open the OneDrive links containing the files you will see what I mean. I have told them.

Two weeks ago I bought a new i86 ML Plus with the new firmware (1.7.5) already installed on it.
There is no Onyx Neo Reader pre-installed, instead there is an ICARUS Reader (next to OReader etc.).
In the firmware log Onyx mentions changes to the Neo Reader app. So I was wondering why I don't see the Neo Reader app. Perhaps the ICARUS app is the same as the Neo app, but with a different name? But then why is it not mentioned in the firmware log?
I was wondering if perhaps someone else who has installed the latest firmware, can confirm the same issue?

I installed the latest firmware from onyx-international and I only have the Onyx Neo Reader. The other Onyx Reader seems to be gone and I don't see any ICARUS app.

Not sure if it is related, but for the very first time since I use the i86ML yesterday I had to force a reboot because it wasn't exiting sleep mode (neither with the cover open action nor with the power button). I updated to 1.7.5 rc1 recently.

It happened a second time, this time while I was reading. I'll give it a last chance, if it freezes again within the next few weeks, I'll downgrade.

I installed the latest firmware, recharged it to 100% a couple of days ago and didn't use it till today. I was expecting that charge to have dropped by 10% or so, but the i86 didn't turn on when I opened the cover. I tried a hard reset but its still showing the same screensaver. What's going on ?

I have had no bugs with 1.7.5. Suggest you try a few shutdowns/restarts.

Well, when I say no bugs I am omitting the fact that the maximum power-off timeout while sleeping is 1 hour. Then you have to wait for the restart to check the whole sd card before allowing you to continue to read. That or reduce your battery's life by turning off timeout, as I seem to remember that the battery is only good for 300 recharges. Infuriating.

Same for me, this is the third time it completely discharge in a day or so, yesterday battery was over 95%. I also tried some cleaning procedures (I even chats cleared the cache in recovery) but without result.

Anyone has got the 1.7.4 update.zip, since it is not available anymore on ereader-store ?

Considering that with the previous software I let it sleep for two weeks or so, and the battery only dropped a few %, I don't think this is worth giving another shot.

You can try banggood.com.

As for battery life, it may be a general problem with their newer versions, I'm also noticing degraded battery performance in my T68...

I would think so. Had no problem ordering to the uk. Just be aware of possible extra cost due to tax/customs.

Well have a look at your country's regulations and you can estimate how much you might have to pay extra.
