Sluggish page turning on reader side

Brichelle78 · 01-11-2012, 12:49 AM

Hello again lovely forum peoples

Okay, so it's a new day, and I have a new issue with my PE's reader side. In a nutshell, it takes forever for a page to turn. Actually, it's everything on the reader side. Menu icons, page jumping, page turning, and even writing in the journal has gotten to be a looooong and aggravating time for me. I tried using the on-screen page turning after having pushed the page turning button, and noticed the same loooong page loading time. How long you ask? Too long. Admittedly, I am a pretty fast reader. I devour books. But still, I can push the page turner on a new page before even reading one word, then read the whole page, and still end up waiting over 20 seconds before the next page finally loads. Did this repeatedly to make sure it wasn't just a random occurence. When touching the icons, there is quite a bit of lag before they respond accordingly as well. Some slight lag when writing, but I don't really use the jourrnal too much for it to bother me. Is there anything you, wonderfully brilliant and helpful forum lovelies can think of for me to do to remedy this?

For now, I have downloaded coolreader, and have been using that. I would really much rather prefer to use the eink side. I wear glasses, but find I don't need them when reading an actual book or eink screens. I can read on the LCD side without my glasses as well, but find that it strains my eyes, and gives me headaches after prolonged periods, even when wearing my glasses. I spend hours reading, sometimes not even sleeping, due to recurring periodic bouts of insomnia. So, if any of you can think of something that may help me, I'll probably love you forever. Okay okay, maybe not actually love you, because I don't actually know any of you personally. But I will be really grateful and think long fond thoughts of you as I spend hours of pure reading bliss.

Hello again, Brichelle!

How long has it been since you turned your PE all the way off? I don't really know if it will help anything, but if it's been a while you might try turning it off and then on again. That has helped me with odd problems now and again.

Good luck! I hope you get your speedy page turns back soon!

I'm running straight Ermine 2.2 on 2 PEs and an EE and have never had any serious response issues that weren't corrected by a shutdown and restart like Filark said. Sometimes the e-ink side can become somewhat unresponsive when you attempt to do a search in a large book and then return to the home screen of the LCD. Even when you reopen the Library the Search won't pop back up but continues to run in the background. It almost sounds like your reader is stuck in Search mode.

Some uh yeah, I love you both forever and ever and ever. And if I don't outwardly show my undying and perhaps even maniacal adoration for you both, know that as I enjoy the many hours of literary nirvana you both have restored to me, I am having warm, squishy, lovely, bubbly thoughts of you and am smiling in ecstasy.

As you should have already surmised by now, my reader is working properly again. At first, I was highly skeptical about your advice working, because I had turned it off a few times, during this laggy page problem. It didn't seem to do anything all the other times before. But then, I thought of something. Every time I did shut it off, it was only for long enough to reboot it, or to plug it in to recharge. I tend to leave it plugged up, especially while I am doing my reading marathons. So, this time when I shut it off, I left it off the charger as well. It remained off and unplugged, until about 20-30 minutes ago. Roughly over 12 hours, I think.

Scrambled some eggs to go with my fried rice, as it booted back on, and then squeezed my eyes tightly closed as I prayed this worked. Loaded a random book into the reader, and peeked through one eye as I hesitantly and with much trepidation reached over and pressed the page forward button. Didn't even realise I was holding my breath, until it whooshed out my mouth in an exultant whoop of joy. The page turned as fast and smoothly as the day I first unboxed it. Oh the magnificent beauty of this wonderful feeling of success. I'd roll around on the floor basking in the glow of my pure delighted bliss, but fear I may break my PE in my over exuberance.

So, again you two beauteous paragons of patient and kind understanding helpfulness... I love you, I adore you, I'm mentally bowing down and kissing your feet as I crawl on my knees and worship the divine nature of your beings. Have I smothered you both in enough platitudes to convey my gratitude yet? If not, say the word, and I'll whip out a thesaurus and begin composing an ode to your magnificence, that would make even Shakespeare green with envy.

Okay, enough already, I am an ass. I know it and enjoy it, but it doesn't mean I am not sincere in my gratitude.

I really do appreciate your help, both of you. You have returned to me one of my greatest enjoyments, and I am ever so thankful for all your assistance.

Cool!

(I love your verbosity -- do you like my succinctity??

)

You are most welcome. I'm glad we could help.

Read on!

Why yes, I think I rather like it a lot. I like short and straight to the point answers as a standard. I tend to actually talk that way to people, unless they tell me something I find interesting enough to go into further discourse. I am a rather antisocial person, and as a rule I tend to avoid people and their possible reasons to hold a conversation. I don't talk to people I don't know very well, unless it's to answer them in monosyllabic grunts. But when I write...that is when my vocabulary, garnered from years of voracious reading, seems to be exercised to the point of morbid exhaustion.

Call me weird, I'd probably feel flattered, but I liked having to answer essay questions in school too. One to two sentence answers seemed inadequate to me. Mine were usually one to two paragraphs, or sometimes even a page or two, just to make sure there could be no confusion or misconception in what my opinions were. If I bothered to state my point, I felt I had to state it clearly and with as many reasons as I could think of to justify it. So yeah, I tend to be ridiculously verbose when writing anything, and probably infuriatingly abrupt or curt even when actually speaking. But, that is how I like for people to answer me, concise, succinct...at all even works too.
