Firmware V2.0 updated

Robert Bitzer · 12-01-2018, 03:59 PM

Just got the re-release of Firmware 2.0 today...they seem to have fixed the Neoreader bug with the TOC causing a crash on PDFs. Seems to be running smoothly overall.

Thanks for posting this. I am currently downloading the update. Can't wait to give it whirl.

chinese?

I tried to check for a new firmware and says that nothing is available.

Robert Bitzer · 12-01-2018, 09:02 PM

I'm in the US.... It was pushed automatically, and I've been in running 2.0 for about two weeks already but it was a beta release, I think. Onyx website is showing 2.0 for most devices now.

I'm in Canada, using English as the system language on my device. All I had to do was turn on my wifi, and click on check for update in the settings.

At this time, on http://www.onyx-international.com/, the PDF manual for the version 2.0 is available but not the firmware 2.0.

the firmware is available from boox.com

to get it OTA you must change language to english.

Anyway. Did they get rid of reading records?

edit: actually, checked on boox.com 2.0 available from note but not for max.

Since it is about to roll up to every devices, could you share your feedback what is broken (missing) in the new firmware, if still... Some information about the Chinese beta was worrying.

The only thing not working as advertised for me is that the text box feature in the note app seems to only work with the standard keyboard. I'm using g-board and only the number keys work... strange I've reported it to Onyx. I haven't tried swiftkey or other keyboard apps... don't think I'd use the text box feature anyway but others might.

I updated the firmware on Max 2 Pro (4 GB ram, 64 GB storage) last week (it was shipped with 1.9.7). Basically to get the update I first changed the language to Chinese and ran the OTA update and it seemed to upgrade the firmware to 2.0. Then I changed the language to English. It has been working without any issues. Except it occasionally switches the language to Chinese. Seems fine after I unticked the auto update. I had to run the play store patch and all is working. Except can't install previously purchased apps.

@Robert Bitzer
The textbox feature in the notes app works with my onscreen keyboard and Bluetooth keyboard. Not sure if this helps. Could it be the keyboard setting?

Still no update on my Max 2, at least.

Alrayes · 12-02-2018, 06:17 PM

tried updating from the Nova and it returns nothing available; system language is english

Some users suggest to turn off auto update of apps and maybe turn off wifi if possible.

Robert Bitzer · 12-02-2018, 08:58 PM

SwiftKey works in the note text box as well as the standard keyboard. Haven't tried a Bluetooth one yet.
